2010 Porsche Panamera: It’s Hot!
Posted in: Porsche | Comments (0)
When you see Porsche, you think quality, speed, sleek design, and a ton of cool points. You think all of that times ten when you first set eyes on the 2010 Porsche Panamera. It is visually stunning, and you know it purrs no matter how fast you go just by looking at it.
This model is a four seater sedan, something of a switch from the typical design of this well known, much coveted car. The seats in the front are mounted quite low and all in all, it looks like the interior of a sports car should look.
Better still, the 2010 Porsche Panamera is quite versatile — there are three different versions of it, such as the S and the 4S, which cost $89,800 and $93,800, respectively. The base price of the 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo, however, is $132,600.

Mercedes SL Avalange RS Should Be The Car Of The Year!
Posted in: Mercedes, New Designs | Comments (0)
When I was doing some research for this blog – there are quite a few cars that I came across, however, one in particular caught my eye and that was the Mercedes SL Avalange RS, designed by Piecha. This beautiful car actually made its very first appearance at the Tuning World Bodensee Show and since, has been one of the most popular cars in the world. This car comes standard with QUADRO 4-pipe tail pipes and LED daytime running lights. The tuners also said that the Mercedes SL Avalange RS parts have been tested beyond the 300 km/h mark.
This car really does combine the very best of two worlds and it is definitely one car that Germany has went wild for. The car itself is made of an extremely light but definitely durable material, the overall design form the very tip of the headlights all the way to the back rear spoiler has been designed to be chic and clean and overall, I think they did a great job!
So if you want a car – that will last and look cool, the Mercedes SL Avalange RS, designed by Piecha is the one for you!

Ford Motor’s Impact on the US Economy
Posted in: Ford | Comments (0)
All growing nations need a rock solid economy and the economy of any nation is governed by its industry. As more and more people find work, they help to contribute to the economic growth of the country and in this respect; the Ford Motor Company has helped the US Economy in a big way. Employing nearly 88,000 employees directly and millions more indirectly, Ford Motor Company has no doubt helped to shape the economy of the US in a huge way.
One can imagine more about this if they look at the total assets of the Ford Company that stood at a healthy US$279.264 billion in 2007 along with a total equity of US$5.628 billion. This is an amazing growth for a car company that had started way back in 1903 with just $28,000. This amount had been raised from twelve investors and among them were Horace Dodge and John Dodge who later on went to form the Dodge Motor Company.

Effects of Stimulus Bill not be seen until the next two years
Posted in: Electric Vehicles, Environment, Financial Crisis, Government, Hybrid Cars | Comments (0)
According to the recently concluded conference on the Stimulus Bill, everything pretty much stays the same. There are tax credits added for plug-ins that won’t be out until the next two years or so, but no tax credits are mentioned for the purchase of hybrid vehicles available today.
Otherwise known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, this stimulus bill is worth $787 billion all in all. Presently, it gives up to $2500 tax credit for buyers of low-speed new electric vehicles. However, this has been criticized as a “pork barrel” for golf carts.
On the plus side, however, it allows new car buyers this year to deduct the local and state taxes paid on their vehicle purchases from their annual federal taxes. While $1.7 billion is allocated to fund this tax deduction, this move received a lukewarm reaction from consumers, probably because they won’t be seeing the figures realized until the end of 2009.

Money Problems Might Keep Converj in Bay
Posted in: Cadillac, Chevrolet | Comments (0)
The shaky financial situation of General Motors may keep them from delivering the production type Converj concept car.
The Cadillac Converj concept car was unveiled during the recent Detroit Auto Show. The car will be using the same technology used in the plug-in hybrid Volt of the Chevrolet brand.
During an interview, GM executives said that they will build the Converj production version to look exactly the same as the concept car. The company’s major concern is the availability of funds that will build the car.
GM engineers are not worried about the lithium ion battery that will need to power their cars. They said that the batteries will be ready for the 2010 launch of the Vault.
A Converj might have a sticker similar to the range of luxury coupes. If it will be like the Lexus SC or the Cadillac XLR then it will be between $67000 and $86000.

Car Manufacturers Question Senate’s Scrap-loot Proposal
Posted in: Environment, Financial Crisis, Government | Comments (0)
Car importers question the US Senate’s proposal to give $10,000 credit to people who would hand over their old motor vehicles in exchange for newer, more fuel efficient models.
This proposal is tagged the Harkin-Stabenow amendment, and most US lawyers have reason to believe that it violates important aspects of the World Trade Organization rules, as well as the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Car manufacturing and dealing companies are fearful about the effects of this move on the US economy. With the new amendment, there’s a big possibility that car sales will drop drastically this year. The US happens to hold a big chunk of the world’s car manufacturing industry.
The other side of the coin
On the plus side, a lot of environmentalists and households are excited about the immediate effect of this amendment. Most people refuse to hand-over their 10-year-old faithful for newer, cleaner models simply because they can’t afford to pay for a new car.

Kia Soul’ster All Set for Production
Posted in: KIA, New Designs | Comments (0)
The Kia Soul’ster was introduced at last month’s Detriot Auto Show as a mere concept vehicle, but due to the unexpectedly strong reaction of the crowd, this small yet very stylish two-door convertible-pick up combination is now in line for production.
Alex Fedorak, Kia Cars America spokesperson beamed at the wonderful response they got for the Kia Soul’ster. “The response was so overwhelming that Kia decided that it needs to take a closer look,” said Fedorak. “It is clearly a vehicle that was built as a concept in a fashion that was production-capable. We have been doing that more and more lately.”
While it is based on the bulky 2010 Kia Soul, a five-door hatchback, the Kia Soul’ster is aimed on a younger target market with limited budget. The sporty and outdoorsy design is the work of Kia Design Central America of Irvine, California with Tom Kearns as the lead designer and Mike Torpey in charge of the initial rendering. The roof covers only the front seats of the car leaving the rear seats covered only by a roll bar, which could get a little untidy during rainy season. But the rear seats are foldable giving the Soul’ster the cargo capabilities of a pick-up truck.

G-Power BMW M5 Hurricane RS reaches 228mph
Posted in: BMW, Tuning | Comments (0)
BMW introduces the G-POWER BMW M5 HURRICANE RS, the fastest sedan in the world.
Another breakthrough by G-Power for enhancing the raging-fast BMW M5 and perked up two superchargers, fashioned pistons, intercoolers, and other few extras. The combinations gave way to a chart-topping 750 horsepower, and an amazing distance of 228 miles per hour as was recorded by the Brabus Rocket on their speed chart after their run in Papenburg, Germany’s ATP High Speed Oval, taking the spot from the Brabus Rocket bi-turbo V12.
Being named as Hurricane RS, it was engineered to have the engine configuration of V10 with the aid of ASA, Germany’s supercharger producer. It was also designed with the Mercedes Benz CLS as its pattern (but I guess the BMW Automobile people were more into this!)
Created with aero innovations, suspensions wrapped in coil and reliable high-performance package of braking system, the Hurricane RS is revved up with Michelin Pilot Sport SP2 wheels to guarantee speed and steadiness on the road.
