Knopf Automotive

Here at Knopf Automotive, we love celebrating the milestones of our favorite German automakers. They come in all forms, and are often tributes to the quality, performance, and style that makes them stand out amongst the competition. The latest one? That would be from the Porsche Cayenne celebrating 100,000 models produced so far!

This latest achievement in the new Porsche lineup couldn't have come at a better time either, as it lines up…

We here at Knopf Automotive know the dangers of driving at night. Drivers experience reduced visibility, delayed reaction time, and a greater chance for nocturnal animals to run out into the road. It goes without saying, of course, that a leading-edge luxury brand like Audi would do everything in its power to keep drivers safe at night.

Enter, Audi LED technology. The German automaker's LED polarized lenses offer greater calrity, consume less energy, and…

With the start of 2012, we here at Knopf Automotive can't help but look back at the last year and be amazed at the incredible success of the Mercedes-Benz brand. The iconic German automaker financed and leased a wide range of vehicles in 2011, but they were, perhaps, most successful in the Sport Utility Vehicle/Crossover Utility Vehicle market.

For those of you who are unaware, that encompasses models like the Mercedes-Benz R-Class, Mercedes-Benz?

Are you a big fan of the Audi A7? If you are, then brace yourself... Automobile magazine has recently named the full-size luxury car from Audi as the "Automobile of the Year," much to the delight of everyone at Knopf Automotive.

This award does much more than showcase a single model in the new Audi lineup. It shows that Audi, as a whole, is truly on top of the automotive world in terms of design…

It's no secret that Diesel is big overseas. It hasn't, however, managed to catch on here in the United States, which is something that has always baffled us here at Knopf Automotive. Even though it's more expensive at the pump, diesel is cleaner and slower burning. This means that vehicles that are powered by diesel often get higher mileage and produce fewer emissions. If it sounds like a win-win situation, it's?

When the brilliant minds at Porsche set out to do something, they do it one way and one way only: right. That's the philosophy behind the German automaker's new subsidiary, Porsche Design, and it's served them quite well in bringing a lineup of fashion products, high-end whiskey, sleds, watches, hookah pipes to the market.

Next up on Porsche Design's list of markets to conquer is the growing realm of smartphones. That…

It's hard imagine that the automobile is 125 years old, but it's true. This is a milestone that Mercedes-Benz wouldn't let go unnoticed either, as the German automaker vowed to invest a total of $125,000 to be donated to five different charities.

This is the kind of celebration that everyone here at Knopf automotive can really get behind. The contest was officially named the "Community Stars" social media challenge, and in?

We here at Knopf Automotive already consider each Porsche model on our lot to be an incredible work of art. Whether it's the Porsche Boxster or Porsche Panamera, it's hard not to admire the superb craftsmanship and attention to detail in every model, and this is something that the people at German automaker know quite well.

It is, in fact, also the reason why a new art movement has been sparked, using the…

Has the Twitter bug caught you yet? Some may argue that it's a waste of time, but once an Audi R8 is involved all bets are off! More specifically, Audi is giving eager fans a chance to win the keys for an Audi R8 for a day simply by sending one simple tweet. Well really, they must explain why the German luxury automaker should make this dream a reality in 140 characters or less?

In 2011, Porsche gave its iconic 911 the option of coming equipped with either a standard six-speed manual transmission or seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission. While both choices offer an incredible driving experience, we here at Knopf Automotive must say that there is something about the emotional link between man and machine, seen in the manual transmission, that takes driving the Porsche 911 to a new level of excitement.

Apparently, we aren't alone in?
