Having FUn with 2010 Volkswagen Routan

All new in 2009, the Volkswagen Routan minivan has no powertrain changes for 2010. The Routan is a restyled version of the Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country, and shares their Chrysler-designed V6 engines.

Having recently exited bankruptcy and fallen under the control of the Fiat Group, Chrysler's long term product plans aren't quite clear yet. However, with their minivans still playing an important role in the market, Chrysler's long term commitment to this line seems assured. With that in mind, Volkswagen will probably remain a willing partner, perhaps choosing to add a diesel offering at some point down the line.

2012 The Infiniti M35h

The 2011 Infiniti M37 has been updated with a more distinct grille, new headlamps, tail lights, sculpted hood and as a result it has the appearance of being more aggressive and a touch sportier. One trim is available for the car but there are many optional packages to select from such as Deluxe Touring, Technology, Sport Touring, Deluxe Touring and Premium.

Due to rising gas prices and environmental concerns, hybrid vehicles are becoming more popular than ever. Most car manufacturers have a hybrid vehicle in their lineup and Infiniti is following suit with one of their own; the 2011 M35h. What sets this vehicle apart from the pack is it's substantial power, good looks and capacity to reach top speeds. The M35h will be available for sale in the U.S in the spring of 2011. It has been aptly dubbed as "The Driver's Hybrid". The M35h makes its grand public debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show.

This car is a luxury vehicle and will go head to head with other vehicles in its class such as the Mercedes Benz E-Class, BMW 5-series, Jaguar XF and Lexus GS lineup. It's equipped with a robust 3.7 Liter V6 engine that outputs a total of 330 horsepower. The vehicle can be driven in 4 modes: Eco, Sport, Normal and Snow. Fuel mileage isn't the best but not too bad when you consider how powerful the engine is at 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the freeway. In terms of speed, this car travels from zero to sixty in a speedy 5.9 seconds.

Exterior Design 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Starting with the 1969 model year the Ford brought the road racing Mustang program in house by creating the Boss 302 with styling by Larry Shinoda, suspension was design by Kar Kraft. Engineer Matt Donner was the man responsible for the excellent Boss 302 chassis, which quickly impressed the critics with the way it hugged the road. The engine was a Ford 5.0L block with the new 351 Cleveland heads. The car was originally to be called the Trans Am, until Ford found out GM had already licensed the name from the SCCA.

Advancement for the Mustang in 1969 also came in the form of living up to the company vision of "models for specific segments of the market". In doing so, the 1969 Mustang for sale offered the widest choice of models and powertrains not only among Mustangs but also among all muscle cars. Perhaps at the time no one except visionaries within the Ford fully appreciated what that would mean. In retrospect, it is clear that building the Mustang presence throughout the automotive market helped establish it as the de facto sports car of choice in the U.S.

The Boss 429 was also built in response to Chrysler's 426 Hemi and it's success in Nascar. Ford built a 427 Hemi-headed single overhead cam motor first, but it wasn't considered stock enough for the series so along came the "semi-Hemi" head 429. Kar Kraft was given the task of wedging a 429 into the Mustang. Quarter-mile times were reported to be in the lower 14s. Although another of the hot rod magazines, Car Craft, slightly modified the stock 429 and got a 1/4 mile in the mid 12s. The street cars came from the factory with a conservative cam and a somewhat small carburetor.

Under the hood, Ford started with the 200- and 250-cubic-inch V6 motors that generate 115 and 155 horsepower, respectively. The base V8 option was a 302-cubic-inch motor that produces 220 horsepower. The big-block 390 hammers out 320, down five horsepower from the version that Ford included in the 1968 model. The top option was once again the Cobra Jet 428 that Ford conservatively rated at 335 horsepower with or without the optional ram-air induction.

2011 New Generations Renault Megane GT

The Fiat Linea model has been introduced in three versions by the Fiat India. These three variants are Emotion, Active and Dynamic. However, all the models come with either in 1.3 liter diesel engine or 1.4 liter petrol engine. The 2009 Linea comes with a unique board styling, steering design, well furnished designed and quality of the buttons as well as switches, and comfortable seats. In the exterior design part the rear lamps, twin barrel headlights and the front grill may definitely roll the eyeball of the buyer.

Following France surrendered to the Germans in 1940, Louis Renault was asked to manufacture tanks for Nazi Germany which had taken control of his factories. He refused to do this and he ended up producing trucks for them. After the war, he was accused by the government of being a collaborator and arrested. He died in jail in 1944 and the government seized the factories and his assets. Following the nationalization of Renault, the company experienced unprecedented growth and the rear engine 4CV model was able to rival the popular Volkswagen Beetle and Morris Minor. Renault Fregate, produced from 1951 to 1960, was also successful. However, the company did not perform optimally because of constant labor unrest.

Ford Flex

Last but not least came the "not-minivan" from Ford. The exterior is rather plain with a different color roof that screams Mini-Cooper and a shape comparable to the Scion Xb. The interior is what makes the Flex so unique. Ford decided a refrigerator was in order for the new Flex along with 2nd row roof rests and a massive sunroof. The ambient lighting on the inside can also be programed to fit the occasion. Another interesting fact is the 2009 Flex will be the first production vehicle to use the capless fuel filling system. Not only does it reduce emossions but it will also keep you driving away with your gas cap off and fuel door open.

Toyota Camry.....?

Not the first car you think of when it comes to extreme modification, but obviously it works. The Front Doors gained a few inches and the rear doors were molded into the body. The handles and mirros were shaved to make a sleeker look. The graphics were done by OG Abel and the colors came from Kolor Kings in California. The interior is custom made fiberglass and hand-stitched seats all topped off with a sound system from Pioneer Audio.

Mercedes R500

Extreme Audio is the name of this game. Alpine’s Advanced Application R&D team is unbeatable when it comes to innovation and installation of the newest audio goodies. This year they chose the R500 to show-off their latest Signal Processing Technology. The R500 was also an accomplishment for the engineers who installed everything. The doors were turned to suicide and attached to the front seats. Even more amazing is the front seats swivel to make entering and exiting the vehicle easier. Resting in the Truck is a motorized rack holding 6 of Alpines PDX amplifiers that rotates out for display purposes.

1988 Caprice

An '88 Caprice on 30 inch Asanti wheels, enough said. All of the suspension components are either chromed of painted to match the House of Kolor Violet Kandy body coat. The interior is made of white leather and purple suede. Under The Hood is a 400 cubic inch small block fitted with a Wieland Supercharger and fed by a pair of Holly Dominators.

Mercedes SL 600

This new Mercedes is extreme in a whole new way. It was extremely time consuming to build. Even though SEMA wasn't the first time the public saw this SL 600, it still got a ton of attention. How could you miss is with over 300,00 Swarovski crystals covering the exterior. Even the interior got some crystal Accent. At least you will never lose your car at night anymore.

Pontiac Solstice SD-290

Ah the forgotten days of racing. This concept from Pontiac looks like a modern version of the 1930's style race cars and it's built like one too. It comes from the factory with a 4 point racing harness, no Whindshield and a built in roll bar. Don't plan on taking your date out in this either, there's no passenger seat. Holding it to the road is a set of 19" Wheels wrapped in Hoosier Racing Tires. Good thing too because the Turbo 2.0 liter Ecotec lays down close to 300 horsepower.

1950 "Mercules"

All the way from Australia comes a custom 1950 Mercury. This blue beauty has seen over 175 body modifications to get where it is today, one of which chopped off 4 inches of headroom. Adding to the already outstanding combination is a 6.8 liter supercharged V10. That potent power-plant drives the 1950 Merc to the front of the line when it comes to custom hot rods.

Blastolene B-702

This picture is worth more than 1000 words. This amazing work of art was designed by the Blastolene Brothers ( Michael Leeds and Randy Grubb), the same masterminds behind Jay Leno's "Tank Car" It sits at 19.5 feet long and 94 inches wide. One look at the size of the hood and the number of tubes on the headers should give you a slight hint to the 702ci V12 that's hiding underneath. Everything sits on a custom made frame. Toss in the leather interior and custom made trimmings and you have the hottest car on the road.

Custom Car 1. 1963 Corvette

It's hard to believe that under all that under all the graphics and performance parts this used to be classic small block Chevy. The heart of this mighty machine is a 400 cubic inch twin turbo V8. When fully spooled, it makes...2200 horsepower. (Let that sink in for a few seconds). The Engine bay had to be extended and hood modified to house the new power-plant. According to Rod Saboury, the owner, it's the fastest street-legal car in the world. And it still has factory roll-up headlights

2011 Toyota Sienna has been completely

The folks at MSN Autos have recently put together a list of the most sought after minivans on the road today. Topping that list are the 2006 Honda Odyssey, the 2007 Toyota Sienna and the 2007 Nissan Quest.

The '06 Honda Odyssey, ranked the most popular minivan by the news source, was named Consumer Guide's 2006 Best Buy, Money Magazine's 2006 Best Minivan and Kelley Blue Book's 2006 Best Resale Value.

For starters, the exterior of 2011 Sienna has been completely redesigned. The new SE trim is especially slick and boasts 19" alloy wheels and Altezza tail lights. A 2.7L, 4-cylinder engine now comes standard on the base and LE trims with a very impressive fuel economy rating of 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. For those preferring power over economy, the 3.5L 265 horse power V6 engine remains an option but offers slightly lower fuel economy. Additionally, the Sienna now comes with a 6 speed automatic transmission and it is still the only minivan with available All Wheel Drive (AWD). The two most exciting features, however, are the sliding seats in the second row with recliner style seating (nicknamed "Lounge Seating") and the Dual View Entertainment Center which lets you play two videos at once. Other notable features include power windows, rear sliding doors, a keyless Smart Key System with push-button start, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, and a comprehensive set of airbags. These features come standard on all trims. The best part is the price - the base LE trim starts at under $25,000, which is about $2,000 less than the Honda Odyssey.

2011 Detail Review Toyota-Sienna

2011 new Toyota-Sienna

With Toyota's well documented accelerator recall problems in recent times, you are likely on the fence about buying a Toyota at all. In fact, the 2010 Toyota Sienna itself faced a recall due to a potential corrosion problem in the spare tire carrier cable. What you may not know is that the new 2011 Toyota Sienna was not effected by any of these issues and is in fact the first totally redesigned Sienna in seven years. Moreover, it come standard with Toyota's Star Safety system and given that Toyota is working very hard and spending a reported $1 million an hour on research to mend their image, safety will not be something you'll have to worry too much about regarding their vehicles. But is the 2011 Toyota Sienna right for you and your family?

2011 Detail Review Toyota-Sienna

Over the last few years, car manufacturers have begun concentrating on developing smaller sedans and have started producing fewer family-sized vehicles, meaning there are smaller quantities of new minivan models to choose from today than in the past. For consumers in the market for a used minivan in New Jersey, you are in luck. Many industry experts feel that the most popular vehicles of the genre were produced in 2006 and 2007.

2011 The Jeep Wrangler: 4WD 2dr Sport

The second factor which seems to affect how well the Jeep runs is weight - a small, light child often has difficulty getting the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to move properly, add a second child and the problem seems to be eliminated. Maybe, if you don't have a second child adding some additional weight in the rear storage area of the Jeep may have the same effect?

The 2011 Jeep Wrangler ranks 15 out of 24 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 69 published reviews and test drives of the Jeep Wrangler, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

Reviewers love the way the Jeep Wrangler can tackle rugged trails, but hate its clumsy and unrefined road manners.

2011 Jeep Wrangler in Affordable Compact SUVs

Some parents expressed some disappointment that the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon doesn't have proper doors which open and close, but the majority of the kids thought the rugged grab bars "cool" just like the pretend seat belts which encourage good car habits for the future. To the rear you will find a storage area so the kids can pack up a picnic for the long journey ahead. Other parents and kids would like to see more features like a working radio which some other "ride ons" are fitted with.

Exterior highlights include an Islander "Tiki Bob" decal on the hood, blackside steps and Moab 17-inch wheels wrapped in 32-inch tires.

Inside, the Wrangler Islanders get seats in dark gray with Surf Blue inserts, blue stitching and an embroidered Islander "Tiki Bob" logo. Blue stitching has also been added to the leather-wrapped steering wheel while the Mopar rubber floor mats complete the list of upgrades.
