Mini Countryman Concept: Check It Out!

Mini Countryman concept

I swear, one of the biggest names in the world of cars is Mini – and I am seeing the Mini Cooper pop up everywhere!  So I am from Michigan and I was in a little town called Plymouth the other day and what do you know it … I saw at least five Mini’s in the parking garage!  However … we are not here to talk about the Cooper, we are here to talk about the Mini Countryman Concept.

This is actually one of the most highly anticipated releases of a car and I have to say that this little crossover vehicle is actually going to be one of the best – once it comes out mind you.  This little Mini crossover actually will not meet everyone’s eye until next year at the Geneva show – not the Detroit one.

So if you are looking forward to the Mini Countryman Concept as much as I am – go to Geneva next year!

2010 Toyota Camry: Toyota launches in South Korea to battle Hyundai

2010 Toyota Camry

In this economy, I think that there is really only one automaker that is really doing really well and that is Toyota.  The Pruis is one car that is doing exceptional but without that – I have to say that Toyota seems to want to take over the world!  This Japanese auto-maker is truly fighting for their life as Hyundai is racking up the sales.

So when Hyundai released their 2010 cars in Korea, do you want to know what Toyota just did?  Well, the 2010 Toyota Camry is making its way on over and honestly; I think that the 2010 Toyota Camry entering into the Korean market is a fantastic idea!

If you live in Korea and you have been waiting for the 2010 Toyota Camry – it’s on its way!  I can promise you that!

We love anything that needs a motor to run. Motor bikes, cars - even lawn mowers; as long as they go over 25mph! :) Without motors, the world would be a much duller place, and we're using our knowledge of the interweb to spread the joy and love for speed, motors, rubber and petrol! Everone loves to ride his car, but these days cars are getting more expensive each day. When you find used cars for sale you can finally enjoy the trill of riding a car.

This Nissan Concept Really Glides!

Nissan Land Glider conceptNissan was noticeably absent at the recent auto show in Frankfurt, but the automaker intends to make up for that fact when they unveil a brand new, undoubtedly innovative concept at the upcoming motor show in Tokyo.

The Nissan Land Glider is a very narrow vehicle — while thirty one hundred millimeters long, it is only eleven hundred millimeters wide. It is designed to seat two passengers in tandem, and two electric motors, located in the rear, power the car with the help of lithium ion batteries.

This concept was evidently inspired by motorbikes — specifically, the freedom and agility they offer. The structure is quite like a cocoon, and it feels safe to say I have never seen a vehicle that looks like this one ever before.
