When I first saw the Chevy Volt – I was not all that impressed. Now, that was probably my fault for not doing my research but I honestly did not think that it was the truth – that for 230 miles, you would not have to fill up your gas tank.
However, it seems that the Chevy Volt has been running and it is pretty true … in most cases. While GM has been gunning for this car to work to bring their numbers back up – there are many skeptics out there.
The Chevy Volt is one of those cars that – if it goes through it not only going to be one of the best cars on the market, but it is going to save everyone a hell of a lot of money on gas – which is exactly why I would buy one. While I might be paying on the car forever, I would definitely be saving quite a bit on gas money, which is awesome!
When you are researching a car or a truck to buy … what is the first thing that you do? Well, the first thing that I do is look at the name – then I look at the specs and I think that the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is by far one of the best named trucks on the market and as for the specs? Well, those are going to be described below!
The 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is one of the only trucks in the world that seems pretty standard; however it is anything but standard. The price is just under $40,000 and while that seems like a lot, it truly isn’t. The fact that it has a 5.4-liter V8 engine along with 310 HP is nothing to sneeze at. Also, come winter, it has an uprated 400 HP and a 6.2-liter V8 engine that you can upgrade too … if you wanted to.
The greatest thing about this particular truck is that while men are the ones that usually buy it, to me, the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor looks sort of like a woman’s truck – a tough woman mind you!
When you think about BMW – what is usually the first thing that comes to your mind? Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is never hybrid and never ever fuel efficient, however – BMW has switched their name around a bit and they are not becoming one of the premium hybrid car makers, starting with the all new 2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6. This beautiful, wonderful and powerful BMW lives right up to the name and is certainly one of the hybrids that is not only pretty to look at … but absolutely powerful in every way possible.
The great thing about the 2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6 is that there is a ton of horsepower behind that engine – 480 HP actually and it has very impressive powertain that consists of twin electric motors and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. This car can run to sixty and will take just about 5 seconds to get to the top speed of 130 miles per hour.
2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6 is the car to get – it is a hybrid, it is fast and it is by far one of the coolest looking cars. What’re you waiting for again?
So, what can we expect from the 2010 Subaru Outback? To answer that question, it is important to take a look at the vehicle’s evolution. It began as the Subaru Legacy, a seriously jacked wagon with four wheel drive.
Following a few special editions, the Legacy Outback finally morphed into the Subaru Outback, a stand alone vehicle which emerged over ten years ago, in 1995.
This officially set the precedent. The vehicle instantly became known for its capability, its durability; it was known as easy to use, wide ranging, and great to maintain. Of course, back then, you definitely did not purchase the Outback because it necessarily looked good.
However, by all accounts, the new 2010 Subaru Outback has the styling and the power, leaving lots of buyers just waiting for it to emerge on the market.
I am so utterly in love with every aspect I have thus far seen of the 2010 Jaguar XJ. It is absolutely gorgeous. It looks, to be quite frank, like sex on four wheels — and that is saying a lot, because generally I am not a fan of the newer Jags. I like the older ones much, much more.
But that might be a moot point. Something really great about the new Jaguar might just be illegal in the United States.
Specifically, the dual view console screen, one of the most awesome systems ever, might just ruin it for everybody.
It was designed so passengers could watch a movie during a drive. However, that could get distracting if you are the (lucky, lucky, lucky) driver, right? Exactly.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration thinks so as well. Still, even the designer points out that the system itself is made so that the driver will not be distract it. Will it make it through?
No, you really will not have to pay a million dollars to own the Bugatti Veyron — it is actually more like two million for the coveted Grand Sport. The question is — what were these manufacturers thinking, marking a price like that at a time like this?
They are thinking that people want a convertible like this. They are thinking that even drivers in France love it, which is almost unheard of. They are thinking people will pay prices like this if it means getting a car that will get past 62 miles per hour in less than three seconds; up beyond the 124 mph mark in a little over seven seconds; and up to 186 miles per hour in just over sixteen and a half seconds.
They are thinking that a car with one thousand — and one — horsepower is worth a whopping two mil.
Is it? Well, that’s not for me to say — but I could think of better things to spend two million bucks on, myself.
Kia has certainly paved the way when it comes to highly affordable cars, which is why the manufacturer’s brand new Forte Koup is making news. It is already being touted as a winner, something that may inspire drivers who are trying to be brave again to take it for a test drive — and then cruise it right off the lot.
It has comfort, it has style, and it has all you could want in the way of standard features. The exterior is somehow European, which test drivers thus far love — and the interior is a perfect complement, with plenty of classy finish. The Forte Koup definitely is not like anything you would expect from Kia, right down to the standard model, which gets 25/35mpg.
So if you are looking for an affordable car with high end standard options but lots of extras available as well, keep your eye on the Forte Koup.
I never thought that I would actually like a Jaguar car. My girlfriend, she is nuts for them but me? Well, I never thought that I would find one that I actually loved … until I laid eyes on the 2010 Jaguar XKR Goodwood Special. This beautiful car is not only one of those cars that is breathtaking to look at, but under the hood, it is completely exotic and all around beautiful! This incredible car is actually a need-for-speed car … no the video game exactly, but it is a car that needs to be going fast most of the time because honestly … it goes up to about 225 miles per hour and that is … crazy!
Under the hood: 5.0-liter V8 for a total of 530 horsepower and 515 lb-ft of torque. Considering that the (anything but) ordinary 510 hp version rockets to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. All of that and the car actually looks cool too? That is mind blowing to me and I have to say that you really need to take a closer look at this particular car … it truly is one of those cars that look beautiful and live up to the Jaguar name!
Just remember the 2010 Jaguar XKR Goodwood Special name and just wait for it to come out … it is going to be hot and selling out so fast!
There are some cars that I simply can not wait for them to come out … the Tesla Roadster is one of them. This car is going to be one of the best cars as soon as it comes out in the first quarter of 2010 and it will be available in either standard or Sport.
While right now, there is one Tesla Roadster available, it is in Australia and to be honest, it is for the left-handed drivers … wrong side of the road drivers I call ‘em (just kidding!) and it costs upwards of $200,000 Australian dollars and to me … that is a little more than I wanted to spend on this car.
I’ll just wait for it to come out and be released next year … hopefully the cost is going to go down, however I do now see that happening, as the Tesla Roadster is one of the most anticipated cars in the world. The sport feel of it and overall look is something that everyone is expecting and waiting for.
Now that we are on the same page about foreign cars, let’s talk about the Ashton Martin brand. Personally, I have always been a huge, huge fan of this brand of cars. I think that they are extremely well-made, look pretty friggin’ cool and all around, they are some of the best cars on the market. However, when I found out that Ashton Martin was coming out with the Aston Martin Cygnet, I went wild! This is one of those cars that is really and truly going to make history.
Not only is the Aston Martin Cygnet one of the most compact cars on the market for the future, but it is going to be one of the coolest cars. This car will also be one of the cheapest cars as well and while I do not think that $40,000 is all that cheap, some people do … the rich ones. If you are rich and looking for a cheap car, the Aston Martin Cygnet is going to be the one for you!
So look for it in ’10, this car is going to be big … huge actually and I said it first! Mark my words!
