Check Out The 2010 Volkswagen Phaeton Exclusive!

September 16th, 2009

2010 Volkswagen Phaeton So let’s talk about 2010 Volkswagen Phaeton.  This is a car that while many people think that it is not all that great – we think that it is pretty damn cool.  To me, the 2010 Volkswagen Phaeton is Volkswagen’s version of a luxury sedan and to me – that is what they needed in order to break out of their ‘beetle’ mold. 

Everything thinks that VW is a brand that is very fun and flirty and while for the most part … they are, what about the serious business people?  Well, that is exactly what the 2010 Volkswagen Phaeton was designed for.  In my personal opinion of course.  While at first – the Volkswagen Phaeton caused quite a few problems in the states, now everything has evened out.

You want a serious car?  The 2010 Volkswagen Phaeton – is going to be it for you!

Ford Gets C-MAXxed Out!

September 13th, 2009

fordThe European division of Ford recently released the very first, official pictures of this little beauty, called the Ford C-MAX. It is scheduled to make a worldwide debut this year at the IAA, which takes place in Frankfurt, Germany.

Design wise, its cues are taken from the Iosis Max, a concept car which was revealed at the motor show in Geneva earlier this year. However, the C-MAX promises to bring more in the way of style and desirability, especially when it comes to compact, multi activity vehicles.

It is anticipated that the Ford C-MAX will ultimately be launched during the second half of next year. It is also to be the first of a new generation which will feature vehicles that have been developed from the brand new C segment platform.

Get a Taste of Formula 1 with the New McLaren MP4-12C

September 11th, 2009

mclarenJust recently, McLaren finally revealed the brand new MP4-12C, which will be the first in a whole series of high performance sports cars which will be unveiled in upcoming years.

It features a mid engine and has two seats — and it also happens to follow a lot of the principles used in Formula 1 cars. In other words, everything on or in the car is there for a good reason. From weight saving to aerodynamics, there is a reason for the design, the lines, the surfaces, and even all the details. The chassis is a single piece made of carbon fiber, called a Carbon MonoCell by the company itself.

One thing is for sure, this car will take you as close to flying as you can get with four wheels, and it will certainly be a big seller for the boys who can afford very expensive toys.

BYD e6 Electric MPV: To Be Released…When?

August 13th, 2009

BYD e6 Electric MPVThe world of hybrid cars is truly an amazing one and to be perfectly honest, I am one of the people that are so excited at the possibility of driving a car that is fully electric.  We are slowly but surely moving toward that point, especially with the much anticipated launch of the Nissan EV Leaf – however, did you hear about the new kid on the block?

Chinese automaker BYD have actually started creating an all-electric car and they plan on releasing it into the states right around the same time as the Nissan Leaf – the BYD e6 Electric MPV is the name.

While this five-seat crossover is the first one to hit the market with a just over $40,000.00, the details on the launch itself are very slim.  However, the BYD e6 Electric MPV is going to be limited on availability – so if you want one of these puppies, you are going to have to move fast!

The 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt: Surprisingly Affordable

August 4th, 2009

2010-chevrolet-cobaltI like cars I can (theoretically) afford. I also like it if that car does not happen to be a Kia. I have absolutely nothing against Kia, mind you, I am just generally distrustful of anything that affordable, but that’s besides the point.

The real point is the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. Is it the flashiest car on the market? No way, but it is still pretty cute. It gets 35 miles per gallon on the highway and 25 miles per gallon in the city. It is available as a coupe (two door) or a sedan (four door), and there are four trims available.

Three of them — Base, LS, LT — have a 2.2 liter, four cylinder engine with your choice of four speed automatic or five speed manual transition. The SS Turbocharged trim features a 2.0 liter four cylinder engine — turbocharged, of course — with a five speed manual transmission.

More importantly, the MSRP value ranges between $14,990 and $24,535. Awesome, right?

My Beef with the 2010 Jaguar XF

August 3rd, 2009

2010-jaguar-xf-coupe1Yes. I have serious beef with the new 2010 Jaguar XF. What’s my beef? I don’t like it. I think it is ugly. Fugly, even. Yeah, I said it. What?

I can’t help it. I get that driving a Jag is a prestige thing — boy do I. I get that the manufacturers are trying to be edgy and innovative by ditching the traditional design. The problem is that, really? They have been stepping farther and farther away from the traditional design for years, and I didn’t like it then, either.

My dream is to have a Jaguar. But I tell you what, if I ever get that kind of cash, I will be going old school. I do not give a spit for all the new features. I want that sleek, ostentatious hood ornament. I want that chic design. I want to drive around like Sebastian in Cruel Intentions, darn it!

You can have this monstrosity, man, I don’t want it.

“Come into My Parlor,” Said the Eclipse Spyder

August 2nd, 2009

2010-mitsubishi-eclipse-spyderLet it now and forever be known that I fell in love with the very first launch of the Mitsubishi Eclipse. I did not think it could get any better than that … and then the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder premiered, and I knew that I had found a new true love.

My feelings have not changed with what I have thus far seen of the 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. Is this car sporty? Check. Is it fun to drive? Double check. Does it cost what you would expect such a fun, sporty, open air vehicle to cost? Negative, good buddy. Big negative. With an MSRP value ranging between $27,799 and $32,599, the dream is actually within reach.

Just look at the specs, man. This roadster has four seats, two doors, and is inspired by the Eclipse coupe. You can choose between two trim styles and the standard features are awesome.

2010 VW Golf Variant Universal: It’s So Friggin’ Cool!

July 5th, 2009

2010 VW Golf Variant UniversalIf there is one car brand in the world that I have absolutely fallen head over the heels for, it has got to be VW.  While most people, when they think of Volkswagen just associate this particular brand with the bug, VW has actually come up with quite some creations – like the 2010 VW Golf Variant.

This car, while not out yet, is going to be one of the coolest family cars in the world;  everything from the tip of the front bumper all the way to the back bumper is extremely fashionable and all around – I think it looks hot.

The 2010 VW Golf Variant has also been revised from the original 2009 version, with more rear space and a larger luggage compartment, which is available when the rear seats are folded on down.  The prices for the 2010 VW Golf Variant is going to start around $20,000 but that is pretty cheap considering the car that you are getting.

2010 Toyota iQ: It’s The Latest Toyota Car!

June 26th, 2009

2010 Toyota iQ The name of the car is a very important aspect of the car.  For example, the 2010 Toyota iQ is a car that needs to blow away the competition in performance and in overall style and fashion.  Personally, I think that this car as.  Toyota has picked something different to do with the entire architecture of the car, measuring it only at about ten feet in length and about five and a half feet in width.  So this car is truly the ideal compact car as it is only five feet in height as well.  In short though, it can still seat up to four people extremely comfortably.

One way that Toyota was smart when they were creating this particular car is the fact that they cut back on the dashboard space and they reduced a lot of the depth of the door panels, which all gives you space to move if you are looking for some space.  While most people think that a car like this is not going to be able to stand up to the elements and pass through all of the tests, Toyota is extremely confident in this product and expect this car to pass through everything with a five star rating.

With a total of twelve air bags that will guard every single person from injury, this car absolutely has everything a family would need in it!
