Autos & Motorbikes

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!

Nissan 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.

Have you been waiting for a Ferrari that you can get from point A to point B?  Have you been looking for a Ferrari hatchback?  Well – the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is certainly the car for you then!  This is actually a special edition car that is not only beautiful on the outside, but when you think about the name that is attached to this particular car, you know that you are going to be getting something exotic and different.

The 180+hp 1.4-liter 16-valve turbo four, a retuned suspension, paddle-shift transmission, 17-inch rims, Brembo brakes and unique touches in every nook and cranny of the diminutive retro hatchback.  This car is awesome – so awesome and I can’t wait for it to come out!

To me – this particular car sort of looks like a very updated VW Bug but way, way, hotter!

Finding a safe car is something that is hard – I mean, what do you look for when you are looking for a safe car and also, what cars do you look for?  Well, that is why the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety was created.  They are the ones that award certain cars with the tip safety pick and they are certainly the ones that know what cars are the safest ones in the world.  Well, they have picked their top three now and I am going to share those with you!

Firstly, the 2010 Dodge Journey, 2010 Lincoln MKT, and Mazda’s 2010 Mazda3 are the top three safest cars – in the world.  The great thing?  Now know you what car to buy!  However, what makes them so safe?  Well, all of them come standard with side airbags and stability control.

These cars are equipped with some of the latest and greatest technology to keep you and your family safe, so you will truly be able to feel safe whenever you are driving!

Saabs are pretty hip little cars — but they may be getting a bit edgier, if the recently released images of the brand new Saab 9-5 are any indication. The car was inspired by the concept of the Aero X back in 2006. Inspiration also came from the Swedish manufacturer’s heritage and history in aviation. It is pretty safe to say that the new design is quite progressive.

The vehicle’s falling roof line and the glass house which raps around it define the car’s ultimate character. There is a bit of the Saab 900 to be found in the windshield. As well, the body if the vehicle is clean and uncluttered, rife with rather organic shapes.

The cabin is specifically focused towards the driver, and the simplicity and modernity extend there. There is plenty of leg room and shoulder room in both the front and the back.

For 2010, the 2010 Volkswagen Golf is going to be one of the hottest cars on the market in 2010.  The Rabbit is one car that is gone and the Golf has replaced it – and I think that is awesome.  This particular Golf is actually going to be available with diesel power with the same 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine that arrived latest year in the Jetta TDI.

The base 2010 Volkswagen Golf is going to be 2-doors and that model will have a 2.5-liter gas-powered engine that will start around $17k+ while the 4-door model will start around $19k+, just like the Jetta.  If you want a Golf with a little more power, as described above, you should definitely get yourself the new GTI which starts around $23k+, which is a fantastic price!

VW is one of those brands that you are not going only to be getting a quality car, but you are getting a car that is good for the environment and great on gas – check out the numbers above, 30/42 is definitely what they are starting at right now!

How many special editions of the Bugatti Veyrons have you seen?  Not all that many right?  Well, the brand new Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is finally unveiled and finally going to be here – and it is just in time for 2010!  This incredible Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is one of the only cars that are not only fast but it actually has two different colors incorporated into it.

This color combination was not an accident; it was actually a combining of two different materials – carbon fiber and aluminum.  The shiny parts of course going to be aluminum and the royal blue is the carbon fiber.

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is going to be one car that is not only sleek looking but also one car that is going to be so one-of-a-kind that only a few people will be able to own it … for example, the rich?  Those who have about two million dollars just laying around can get one … seriously!

The interior design of the new Aston Martin Rapide is kept under such tight wraps that it is well nigh impossible to find a picture that does not have watermarking all over the good details — so forget about that, we are just going to paint a picture with words instead.

If you have seen the concept car, then you probably already have an idea what the Rapide is going to look like inside and out. One difference, however, lies in the fact that the quad air intakes have been switched out in favor of both upper grilles and lower grilles.

The rear of this car is quite similar to many other models manufactured by Aston Martin, in that it featurs smoked taillights in the rear — and the car may or may not have a glass roof, or perhaps a panoramic sunroof.

The point is, the interior is certain to be worthy of the name Aston Martin.

These days, for most of us, the search for a new car means that we want something with good fuel economy. Well, how does 34 miles per gallon for highway and 27 miles per gallon for city driving sound?

That is what you can get with both the Chevrolet Aveo 5 hatchback and the Chevrolet Aveo sedan. In both cases, these specs come along with plenty of cargo space, an unquestionably fuel efficient engine, room to seat five people, and a number of other features available if they so please you.

Both of these cars have front wheel drive and both of them have three different trims available. For instance, the LS has power steering, fourteen inch wheels, body colored mirrors, bucket seats in front covered in cloth, and an AM/FM radio standard. The 1LT trim and the 2LT trim have tons of other cool features, from CD players to satellite radio to remote keyless entry, it all depends on your needs.

These days, it is all about fuel economy. Not only do people not want to buy gas guzzling vehicles, but doing so is really rather pointless, since the government is now paying people money to turn in such cars. So, in a time when good gas mileage and eco friendliness are the biggest trends, the Nissan GT-R is like a wish come true — at least on paper.

This is the sought after 2010 model, which is way above its predecessor, by all accounts, feature a whopping five more horsepower, a brand new module for control, and a six speed dual clutch. Its suspension is reworked, its springs are retuned, it has Bilstein dampers, its wheel finishes are darker, and of course it comes standard with both side and curtain airbags.
