Cars that Look Good for Less at the DFW Auto Show

Yum

March 4, 2016 By Autumn Rose Reo Leave a Comment

Since almost 40,000 hours are spent driving a car, it’s important to know how to make the best of your time behind the wheel. We are excited to partner with the DFW Auto Show to bring you the newest and coolest trend in cars for 2016.

Since having children seven years ago, I made the shift (begrudgingly) to my mom-mobile. While having an attractive car was important to me, features such as safety, navigation and integrated technology now outranked it. And it seemed that was the case with cars as well. After testing out 12 different SUVs, the trend seemed to be that either you could have a great looking car that lacked a good system or one that could pretty much cook you dinner, but wasn’t as sporty on the outside.

DFW-AutoShow


Thankfully, the trends for 2016 show that the leading car companies finally have married the two ideas to create some of the best looking AND most smartest cars – all in one package. You’ve seen seen the commercial where a once “grandma” car now looks so cool that no one can recognize it. Or driven up to the stoplight behind a hot car wondering “wow, what kinda car is that?” and then started Googling it to find out it was a once considered budget car?

Since technology features are now top of the list for everyone – not just early adopters, it’s time for even “budget” cars to get a leaner, meaner and more sleek look. 

Some of them that I’m looking forward to seeing at the DFW Auto Show:

  • Buick Avenir
  • Chevrolet Volt
  • Hyundai Genesis

Another vehicle that has really gotten my attention is the Kia Sportage. Starting at $22,000 it’s hard to think there’s anything luxurious to look forward to, but this baby is loaded. I actually even had the opportunity to test drive the newest model that will also be a part of the Ride and Drive event at the DFW Auto Show.  

Get a look at these beauties with two tickets to the DFW Auto Show 2016! 

Never been to a car show? Here why it should attending the DFW Auto Show is so important, especially if you’re looking for a new car!

_______
Just when you think maybe they’re too old for a tradition - the @hiltonanatole made it even more magical at the #ChristmasattheAnatole.
______
Breakfast with Santa, an amazing trip to Peppermint Park (for tons of fun activities in the Christmas village), sweet treats galore like s’mores around the fire singing carols, and much more...this one is DEFINITELY worth a trip for the whole family during the holidays.

A holiday bucket list item was to go to holiday tea - and best of all, they loved it - scones, sandwiches, tea and all!
____
At the @theashtonhotel they even have a “kids” version although mine wanted to try ours, too! Some of our favorite holiday traditions are changing since the kids are getting older, but in #DFW there are so many things to do, we still haven’t done them all. 
____
If you need a good list of holiday of events to do in #DFW, we have them posted #ontheblog now - including some giveaways you don’t want to miss (coming soon!) #dfwevents #visitfortworth
Instagram post 2190890470218356850_9652031 There’s more than one reason they call it a Happy Meal. #givingtuesday
_____
While those 🍟 make us all smile, did you know that each pound of @mcdonalds fries and every Happy Meal you get, gives $ to the @rmhdallas?
____
As a parent I want them to understand the idea of sharing and giving, especially to those less fortunate than you. And this is an easy way for everyone to win this holiday.
____
Learn how you can #McGiveBack this holiday and win a @mcdonalds gift card #ontheblognow.

_____
Rolling down TX 290, we found @hyetxrum. Founded, Operated and Led by three wine/spirits masterminds, Hye Rum is a little oasis in hill country of some of the best damn cocktails carefully crafted using the highest quality non-GMO molasses and French Oak. Get the butter rum. Get the painkiller. And don’t miss the bad ass Cuban sandwich.
____
Hill Country may be known for some wonderful wines but this rum shouldn’t be missed. (And go often.)

Quite possibly my favorite place on this Earth, I was able to steal 48 hours away from real life to explore this little piece of heaven called #HyeTexas.
.
From the amazing people, the wine, the whiskey, the vodka, the cider, and the food, there’s not much more to good. livin’ than what this town of 214 people in the Texas Hill Country makes happen.

Can’t wait to share more of my trip and why you should have this one on top of your TEXAS Bucket List. (Well maybe not...)

______
Thankfully I have my two front teeth, but I would love a crown that doesn’t take 3 weeks or half a paycheck to pay for it! Recently I went shopping for a new dentist for me, but I wanted to find a place that worked with our busy schedule (7 am - 7 pm and weekends), our budget (like discounted dentistry), and didn’t make me nauseous when the drill turned on.
______
At Glade Modern Dentistry not only did they get me after work, have multiple services (oral surgery, periodontist, endodontist, ortho) all under one roof - including getting a crown all in one day. 🤩Plus they don’t call it SMILE for nothing!

Instagram post 2170108022832248704_9652031 Do you know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day? 🇺🇸(Unfortunately, many people don’t.)⁣
⁣
Memorial Day is to remember those who gave their life for our country while Veterans Day honors those who have served our country, living or fallen.⁣
⁣
It’s our turn to say “thank you” for everything they’ve done for us. ⁣
Also remember: Next Monday, 11/11, McDonald's will honor all active/retired Vets (with ID) by offering a free extra value meal (5:30 am -8:30 pm.)⁣
⁣
It’s their way of saying thank you or what we like to say “McGiveback.”⁣

today is Christmas (at least if you hit the stores or checked your email.)💀
______
I wish there was more time to actually enjoy the holidays rather than rush through them especially this one.
_______
This was actually from last weekend at the first #BigD Dia de los Muertos parade and we came out in a big way.

🎃Last week we hosted the first #GoGoWeen at @mrbones in #LA to launch @gogosqueez new Halloween packs! The costume fashion show was adorable with @erinziering and @beverleymitchell as well as a few kiddos from @abcmodernfam, @nbcthisisus plus even @jennipulos, @ianziering, and @gillesmarini came for the fun. Now that’s how you do a pumpkin patch!

We squeezed in a day to say howdy to #BigTex, score @fletcherscornydogs, chow down on the Deep Fried Chicken Fettuccine Balls, play some @nintendoswitches, and love on the 🐷 and 🦙. Everything after that is (cream) gravy!

Instagram post 2151995665564379360_9652031 💀It takes a village to create the scariest village known as “The Village on Front.”
🎃A haunted experience within Knapp Heritage Park, this real historical park from the 1800s becomes the site of the tale of Mary, a little 8 yr old who’s looking for her dead parents. Look for her and see what you’ll find when you get lost in the village.
☠️Warning: Hit the john before you go so you don’t pee your pants. And don’t bring anyone who scares easily. Really.
📆Starts Oct 11 and monies go towards revitalizing @arlingtonhistory. #ArlingtonTx #Halloween #thisisarlington
