Sob with Joy for the Saab 9-5

saab 9-5Saabs 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.

2010 Volkswagen Golf: Rated 29/40 MPG Or Maybe 30/42?

Volkswagen 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!

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.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport “Sang Bleu” Is Finally Unveiled!

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport "Sang Bleu"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!

Take a Peek at the Interior of the Aston Martin Rapide

2010-aston-martin-rapideThe 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.

Aveo, Aveo 5 Offer Amazing Fuel Efficiency

chevrolet-aveoThese 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.

Get Better Fuel Economy with the New Nissan

2010-nissan-gt-rThese 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.

The 2009 Ford Edge Sport & It’s Bigger Wheels!

2009 Ford Edge Sport If there is one thing that I know about, it is the 2009 Ford Edge Sport.  This particular SUV is one of those cars that I think is pretty cool looking all around – however, they have improved it drastically by upping the wheels to twenty-two inch ones!

Now personally, I have never been a person that has ever dealt with wheels or ever felt the need to have a car or SUV that has high wheels, however, the 2009 Ford Edge Sport with the new wheels is really giving me a hard choice here.

The tasteful bodykit that they used for this particular Ford is also something that is very … very appealing to me as well.  Whether you are looking for a car to just go back and forth from work or you are looking for a vehicle that looks cool, feels cool and is all around beautiful to look at, the 2009 Ford Edge Sport is one car/SUV that you should really take a closer look at!

Toyota IQ Roadster: It’s One Sexy Car!

toyota-iq-roadsterPersonally, I have been waiting for the Toyota IQ Roadster to come out – while I know, in the back of my mind that I will never, in life be able to afford one, I think that just knowing that it is out and just knowing that people are driving it around on the roads is enough for me.  Personally, I think that the Toyota IQ Roadster is one of those cars that people are constantly going to be looking at and constantly coveting – I know that I am!

With the main engine a 1.3 liter, 6-speed manual gearbox and for the ability for it to go from 0 – 60 it seems within just a few seconds?  This car is going to be snapped right up and I think that is so friggin’ cool!  The price is actually pretty good too, just $20,000 in Japan, however, I have no idea what the Toyota IQ Roadster is going to be in the US – we’ll have to wait for pricing on that.

So watch out people, new pictures are just the beginning of the Toyota IQ Roadster’s life!

Checking Out the 2010 Subaru Legacy!

subTo be completely honest, I have never really considered any of the Subaru models on the market, right now or in the past — but then I came across the 2010 Subaru Legacy and decided to check it out.

Subaru looks like it is starting to really concern itself with coming up with more affordable vehicles. This one is plenty big and plenty roomy, not to mention sharper looking than the previous model.

To give you an idea about what Subaru was thinking with this model, they are setting it up to compete with other sedans from the likes of Nissan, Volkswagen, and Mazda.

The car will be on sale in July and the base price is just over twenty thousand dollars — $20,690, to be exact. It has a 2.5 liter engine, all wheel drive, and gets 23 city miles and 31 highway miles to the gallon.
