Warren Henry Land Rover North & South Dade Launches All-New 2012 Range Rover “Evoque”
Public invited to test drive the all new stylish Range Rover “Evoque”
MIAMI, FL (August 8, 2011) –Warren Henry Automotive Group invites South Floridians to say hello to the car that will redefine Range Rover for the sensible yet luxurious urban world. The all-new smallest Range Rover ever, the Evoque is a cross coupe, inspired from some of the most exciting cities in the world. Warren Henry Automotive Group invites the public to Land Rover North Dade and Land Rover South Dade to experience the highly anticipated unveiling of the Range Rover Evoque, and test drive one for themselves.
Test drives will be held from 9am to 5pm at Warren Henry Land Rover North Dade on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 and at Warren Henry Land Rover South Dade on Thursday, August 25, 2011. The Evoque offers unique design, premium technologies and compact size. This will give prospective buyers and customers who have not considered Land Rover an opportunity to see what all of the buzz is about. To ensure a chance to test drive the all-new Evoque please call the location of your choice to guarantee a test drive time slot.
The Evoque, officially priced at $43,995, is a bold new evolution of the classic Range Rover with its dramatic lines, and signature floating roof line. Based on the LR2 platform but with significant changes in key areas, the Evoque will be made available in the U.S. market in coupe and five-door form, powered by a direct-injection 2.0-liter turbo inline-four producing 240 hp and 241 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain accelerates to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds and that’s as fast as the company’s V8-powered models. Top speed is said to be 135 mph. The Evoque also achieves 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, according to Land Rover. There are numerous economic techniques adopted, among them are electrical power-steering assist, a smart alternator that works hardest when the car is slowing down, an up shift indicator, early torque-convertor lockup, and stop-start capability.
Prospective customers may also build and customize their own Evoque with Land Rover’s official iPad Application, iConfigurator. This user friendly and professional application allows customers to choose the Range Rover Evoque model they would like to configure – Pure, Prestige or Dynamic; select the engine paint, wheels, contrast color for the roof and interior; review a summary of the configured vehicle; save the vehicles in their garage; find the nearest Land Rover dealer.
The Evoque, set to arrive this fall, is considered the sleekest, most sustainable Range Rover ever built. This model is where style meets practicality with it being the smallest most fuel efficient Range Rover ever built. Drive this car anywhere and it will turn heads. From whichever angle you view it, the Evoque exudes clean lines and desirability.
Warren Henry Land Rover North Dade is located at 19275 NW 2nd Ave. (Hwy 441) in Miami, FL, while Warren Henry Land Rover South Dade is located at 16750 South Dixie Hwy Miami.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating our latest grand openings yet again with Bella Thorne,” said Adam Ogden, founder and CEO of both the JUICEBLENDZ and YoBlendz franchises. “We had a tremendous turnout last time she appeared here in South Florida for her fans, and we anticipate the same for the appearances in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale.

About Bella Thorne

Bella is a 3 time nominee and 2008 recipient of Best Supporting Young Actor Award with past starring roles in “Wizards of Waverly Place,” “Entourage,” “Big Love,” “In The Motherhood,” “October Road,” and the popular “Little Monk.” Before moving audiences worldwide to tears in a groundbreaking performance on FOX’s “The O.C.,” this Florida-native took center stage as the only spokesperson for Texas Instruments, the face of major brands and designers as Ralph Lauren, H&M, Guess, Limited’s Justice, GAP and Aldo. With an irresistible draw and mesmerizingly innocent gaze, modeling comes naturally to Bella, who, with a head tilt and wink, has graced the covers of many national and international catalog covers while appearing in over 60 commercials worldwide.
A budding philanthropist, Bella devotes any free time she has to helping The Nomad Organization, her personal charity that works to providing aid to children in Africa. Still a kid herself, Bella has a weak spot for children’s charities and makes an effort to do what she can to make sure all children have the same opportunities to succeed as she did.
When she’s not modeling for top designers, booking roles on award-winning TV shows or landing lead slots in box-office hits, Bella enjoys all things active—dancing, playing soccer, playing with any of her multiple pets and of course, spending time with her superstar family.

Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson Hosted Memorial Ride In Honor Of The Late Bruce Rossmeyer
More than 500 South Florida motorcycle enthusiasts enjoyed food and fun while paying tribute to the World’s Largest Harley-Davidson dealer—benefitting the Youth Automotive Training Center
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL (August 12, 2011) – Bruce Rossmeyer’s Sunrise & Ft. Lauderdale Harley-Davidson dealerships, held their 2nd Annual South Florida Memorial Ride which paid tribute to the late Bruce Rossmeyer by celebrating his life on July 30, 2011. More than 500 Harley enthusiasts and Bruce Rossmeyer supporters gathered at Fort Lauderdale Harley-Davidson for a police escorted motorcycle ride where more than 200 riders and passengers lined up their bikes ready to ride in Bruce’s honor. Benefitting the Youth Automotive Training Center (YATC), the event raised over $2,400 for one of Bruce Rossmeyer’s most beloved organizations.
The Memorial Ride departed at 5:15pm from Harley Davidson in Fort Lauderdale. Riders were led by the bright lights of the Broward County Sheriff’s Department and an orange Harley-decorated monster truck, appropriately towing Bruce Rossmeyer’s favorite motorcycle. The ride shut down the streets taking them approximately 30 miles west to Bruce Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson in Sunrise.
Upon arrival at the Sunrise dealership, fans were greeted with a true celebration of Rossmeyer’s life. Guests feasted on a Country BBQ and enjoyed the sounds of the Marshall Brother’s Band. The event also featured heart-felt words and many thanks from Will Rossmeyer, Bruce’s son; Scott Wagner, Bruce Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson Sunrise General Manager; Terry Routley, YATC Executive Director; and a video memorial tribute commemorating Bruce’s life.
On July 30th 2009, while heading to the Sturgis biker rally in South Dakota, Bruce died in a motorcycle accident. His remarkable business success was matched only by his dedication to family, and his zest for life. Bruce’s passion was motorcycles, but family was his first love. As wide-ranging as his business empire grew to be, it always remained, at heart, a family business. All five of Bruce’s children — Mandy, Wendy, Randy, Will, and Shelly – have throughout their lives been actively involved in the family business. Bruce’s appetite for life and the way in which he lived it are legendary, but what he will be most remembered for by those who knew and loved him was his total devotion to his family. His wife, Sandy and the family’s greatest wish is to continue Bruce’s legacy of giving.
Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson dealerships include the legendary Daytona Beach location, as well as the famed Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley–Davidson located in Ormond Beach at Destination Daytona, the World’s Largest Harley-Davidson dealership, in addition to 9 other nation-wide locations. The Rossmeyer’s are dedicated to carrying on the family tradition, where the dealers are the lifelines to the customers. Employees at the stores provide clients with the knowledge, service and information necessary to get riders on the road. Bruce Rossmeyer Harley-Davidson serves South Florida with two locations in Fort Lauderdale and Sunrise.
