A Letter from Herb
It's the Real Deal
It will be nice to sit back and relax on Thanksgiving and enjoy spending time with our families. As tradition now has it, on the following day Black Friday will be upon us. We are all considering and evaluating the best “deals” out there. It is still a tough time to buy a car as the supply chain disruptions continue to plague the industry. Fortunately, The Herb Chambers Companies has over 35 brands and 60 dealerships to help in your quest for not only the best deal but the right deal.

We are proud to offer the best vehicle brands for 2022 as selected by U.S. News and World Report. Visit any one of our 4 Honda dealerships to find the “best car brand” of 2022. Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn carries the “best SUV brand” while either one of our RAM dealerships in Millbury or Danvers provides the “best truck.” If you are looking for the “best luxury brand”, we invite you to visit our state of the art and newly built Porsche of Burlington location or our Porsche Boston dealership. Take advantage of our exceptional service and our commitment to our loyal customers. We will help you meet all of your automotive needs.

There are also many opportunities to save during the Herb Chambers Black Friday Sales event. You will find several of our automakers are offering special car deals. Check out significant financing and cash back incentives that are available across the new car marketplace. Remember there are a lot of savvy shoppers out there, especially on Black Friday, so it is critical to move quickly when you find a deal that interests you. Now, we are not saying you need to camp out on Thanksgiving evening, but we encourage you to grab a coffee and head over to any one of the Herb Chambers dealerships starting Friday November 26th through Sunday November 28th. Start researching some great offers by checking out www.Herbchambers.com. Many of the best car deals available this month are 0% financing offers with select Hondas, Hyundais, Lincolns and Fords just to name a few. Our BMW enthusiasts are in for a treat as well, as there are incredible service offers to be had. If you haven’t found them in a recent mailer, or your local newspaper, then check them out online. You will not be disappointed.

The Herb Chambers Black Friday Sales event is a great way to kick off your holiday season. If you can’t make it to one of our many dealerships this weekend, you can always check us out online at www.Herbchambers.com where you can buy online and save time with Herb Chambers Smart Buy. Either way, we look forward to helping you make your holiday shopping a success.
2022 Honda CR-V
By KBB.com
The Honda CR-V was one of the original compact SUVs, and it’s still one of the best. It truly takes the driveability and efficiency of a Honda compact car and packages it as a versatile SUV. This crossover has one of the roomiest interiors in its class, with tons of space for passengers and cargo. Whether you’re looking for a daily commuter, errand runner, or small family vehicle, the Honda CR-V is a perfect fit for a wide range of drivers. The CR-V is also available as a hybrid model.

The Honda CR-V isn’t the most athletic SUV in this class, but if you’re in the market for a practical compact crossover, that probably won’t bother you. Its turbocharged engine has eager acceleration that’s good for around-town driving and building momentum on a freeway on-ramp. The steering and handling remind us of a compact car, but don’t expect sports-car-like driving dynamics.

The ride quality is smooth and comfortable. The seats are supportive and comfy enough for long-distance cruising, the daily commute, and everything in-between.

Is the Daily Commute Back?
Americans' relationship with vehicles turned in a new direction over the last year and a half, and it is evolving yet again. As vaccination rates increase, restrictions ease and a sense of "normalcy" returns, new research is revealing trends in the way drivers view, depend on and take care of their vehicles.

According to Hankook Tire's latest Gauge Index survey in late spring 2021, while 45% of people say they are driving every day (more than twice as many as this time in 2020), they are going to what were previously considered "usual places" less often. The survey found that one-third of drivers still say they are heading to the office or school much less often than before (33% and 36%, respectively).

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
By KBB.com
This new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is 15.1 inches longer than the current Grand Cherokee, and it has a wheelbase stretched by seven inches. This allows the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L to comfortably accommodate three rows of seats. Equipped with the standard center-row captain’s chairs, the new Grand Cherokee L seats six. With an optional center bench in place, this new Grand Cherokee L seats seven.

Chrysler’s familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powers all the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L models, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. A 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is optional in the top two models, working with the same 8-speed. Rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and 4-wheel-drive (4WD) versions are available in each of the four trim levels.

While we see the Grand Cherokee L primarily being used as a luxurious family hauler, it does appear to have some off-road chops. When ordered with Quadra-Lift air suspension, the Cherokee L has a 30.1-degree approach angle, a 23.6-degree departure angle, and a 22.6-degree breakover angle. You can also order an Overland model with an Off-road package that includes an electronic limited-slip rear differential and steel skidplates for the fuel tank, transfer case, underbody, and front suspension.
