*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

The Motoring Club. Welcome to the 13th installment of our newsletter, where we'll serve up a quick rundown of the best auto news out there. Our membership service is also officially live so after you read this head on over and sign-up as a founding member (if you aren't already). Check This Out: Need some random facts to impress your friends this week?  No problem, we've got you covered.  Ever wonder how much profit a car manufacturer actually makes after you've haggled every last dollar out of the salesperson?  Well if you are assuming it's gotta be an exotic.....you are correct, BUT would you also assume the biggest loser was an exotic!?  Ferrari takes home the honors with a whopping $80,000 in profit per car but the biggest loser is Bentley who loses about $20,000 per car (Tesla isn't too far behind, losing around $12,000 per car).  Not all companies report these stats but they did highlight a few other European brands including Porsche with a very respectable $17,000 in profit per car.  Other Euro rivals BMW, Audi and Mercedes saw profit levels about half of Porsche and Jaguar/Land Rover squeaked by with just under $1,000 in profit.

The Loudest Tires Around People usually opt for a tire that doesn't produce a lot of noise.  That is unless it's a Pirelli that contains a 100W speaker.  For the car enthusiast who has it all.....this unique speaker can be yours for just around $2,700.
