2009 Audi Q5 3.2 Quattro Review
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
2010 Subaru Outback
The Outback has gone from a car-like station wagon to an SUV-like crossover, just like that. It's bigger in nearly every exterior and interior dimension, which resolves the issues past owners had with interior space and gives it a much more comfortable ride. It may not be as fun to drive as before, but it's a better family vehicle that still exudes ruggedness and foul-weather capability.
At first glance, the 2010 Outback — with its beefy dimensions, large grille and sharp-edged design — looks nothing like the previous model.
Sixteen-inch wheels are standard on the base 2.5i, with 17-inch alloys becoming standard on all other trim levels.
The layout of the dash has changed quite a bit, with the clock and trip computer raised to the top of the dash. They're still easy to read in direct sunlight. Below them rests a new stereo unit or optional navigation system. There are also convenient cubbies for cell phones, CDs or other items.
Overall, the materials are a step up from the previous model and stand up to most of the competition, but they still lag behind the relatively upscale Toyota Venza.
The most extreme alteration for the 2010 models is the interior's overall spaciousness. Anyone who sat in the old model knows it can be cramped, especially in the backseat. Subaru stretched the wheelbase of the 2010, adding nearly 4 inches of rear legroom.

2010 Audi S4
Audi lost the plot with the last generation S4. Unlike the twin-turbocharged V6-equipped B5, its B6 and B7 brethren did little to stoke the flames in our collective hearts. The "S" simply stood for, "I paid more for a bigger engine and some additional trim." Needless to say, that sort of behavior doesn't cut it when you're battling it out with one of the most competent sports sedan of the last decade: the BMW 335i.

James Dean and Duck Tail Run
Located only about 15 minutes away from each other, James Dean Days in Fairmount, IN, and the Duck Tail Run in Gas City, IN, might very well be the largest street rod gathering in Indiana for September! Thousands of classics cruised from all over the country to attend the festivities. One thing is for sure, you can't see everything in one day (even though I tried). There's a lot of ground to cover and I found myself getting stopped by every other car, admiring the beauty.
Here are their websites for next year's planning: http://www.jamesdeanartifacts.com and http://www.ducktailrun.com . You're sure to see something you've never seen before, like this decked out wagon covered in ducks (above).
or this custom golf cart selling for $18,000 at James Dean!

Hyundai To Skip Tokyo Motor Show
Hyundai has already notified the organizer about its withdrawal from the auto show, which will start on Oct. 24 at the Makuhari Messe convention hall in Chiba, organizers said.
This year, the American "Big Three" and other major foreign automakers have also announced their absence from the event. With only two overseas companies -- German carmaker Alpina and British sports car manufacturer Lotus -- taking part in the upcoming show, organizers fear that it will lack excitement.
VW to Buy SsangYong Motor?
Months ago, SsangYong suffered a vicious strike when hundreds of workers decided to occupy a factory and shut down production entirely. Volkswagen has neither confirmed nor refuted the reports so far but it is believed that SAIC, the former SsangYong owner, collaborated with VW through the Shanghai VW joint venture.

2010 Alfa Romeo Mito MultiAir
Alfa's supermini has been on the market since 2008 and has been instrumental in the company's increase in sales at a time when most are nursing their economic wounds.
The 2010 model year updates are minor with tweaks to the gear lever and interior finish along with the steering, suspension and brakes. There's a new paint colour too. The big news, however, is the debut of an engine technology called MultiAir and with prices range: £10,995 to £14,995
White 2010 TechArt Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
For the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, TECHART has developed two versions of a new exhaust system, The Sport and Racing version. The “Sport” version, for instance, features two rear mufflers with an exhaust flap, an exhaust flap control unit in addition to double-oval tailpipes in a polished or black chromium finish.
The “Racing” version is also equipped with two stainless steel high-performance headers and a sports catalyst.
2010 Nissan Versa Named 2009 Top Safety Picks
The 2010 Nissan Versa and 2010 Buick LaCrosse have both been named 2009 Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety.
To win the award, a vehicle must earn a “Good” rating, which is the highest, in all three of IIHS’ crash tests, which include frontal-offset, side-impact and rear crash tests. The vehicles also must have electronic stability control.
Stability control is optional in the Versa, so only models equipped with the option received the top rating. It’s standard on the LaCrosse.

2009 Nissan Cube
2009 Nissan Cube
MSRP: $13,990 (base)
Engine: 1.8L, 16-valve DOHC I-4
Power Rating: 122 hp, 127 lb-ft of torque
Configuration: front engine, front-wheel drive
Transmission: 6-speed manual; available CVT automatic
Curb Weight: 2,762 lbs (base)
Suspension: independent strut, anti-roll bar (front), torsion beam, anti-roll bar (rear)
Wheels: 15x6 steel wheels (base)
Tires: Toyo A20 (195/60hr15)
Brakes: 11-inch ventilated disc (front); 11-inch drum (rear)
EPA Fuel Economy (mpg): (mpg): 24 city, 29 highway (manual); 28 city, 30 highway (CVT)
Driving Impressions: Smooth and easy. Not particularly fast, but then again, that's not why you'd buy a Cube. If you're looking for speed, pray for another $10k in financing and get something else. If you're looking for something practical with a lot of cool, the Cube is for you.
Tunability: It shares the Versa platform so there ought to be some suspension carryover. But then again, how many fixed up Versas have you seen? The Cube's out in Japan so there's hope yet.

2010 Mazda CX-7
Mazda has a talent for making the most mundane car fun to drive, without sacrificing practicality or value. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the CX-7: the smaller of the automaker’s two crossover vehicles.
This year, the five-passenger CX-7 gets a new four-cylinder engine, available on the front-wheel drive models. While it lacks the power of the 2.3-liter turbo, the new engine delivers exceptional highway fuel economy, while maintaining enough low-end torque to satisfy the average commuter. During the test drive, my highway fuel economy exceeded the 28 mpg EPA estimate.
Drivers will immediately find value in convenience features such as the rear backup camera, digital information display, multiple power points and Bluetooth interface. But greater value lies beneath the car’s surface.
Quick facts:
Make: Mazda
Model: CX-7 i Sport
Year: 2010
Base price: $22,340
As tested: $25,990
Horsepower: 161 Hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 161 lbs.-ft. @ 3500 rpm
Zero-to-sixty: N/A
Antilock brakes: Standard
Side curtain airbags: Standard
First aid kit: Standard
Bicycle friendly: Yes
Off-road: No
Towing: No
Fuel economy: 20/28 mpg city/highway.

BMW's X1 Crossover Arrives in the U.S. in late 2010
Starting late next year, BMW Group will launch three crossovers within months of one another in the United States.
In the United States, the X1 will be powered by a six-cylinder gasoline engine and will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive. The X1 is 175.2 inches long--slightly longer than the 1 series--and can carry up to five passengers.
The X1 will be followed in early 2011 by a Mini crossover that debuted as a concept at last year's Paris auto show. That vehicle has not yet been named.
Jaguar XJ Will Come Equipped With HD Radio
The new Jaguar XJ will come equipped with HD Radio, one of a growing list of models to get the stereo system choice.
The feature is popular because it offers lots of channels like satellite without a subscription fee. Bit by bit, iBiquity, the developer of HD Radio Technology for AM and FM, has been picking off mostly luxury-car makers. It says besides Jag, its list of automakers offering factory-installed HD Radio either standard or as an option now includes BMW, Hyundai, Mercedes and Volvo. It also includes a couple of youth-oriented brands which are bought by customers who demand really good sound systems, BMW's Mini and Toyota's Scion.
In addition to the new XJ, the Jaguar XKR sports car and XFR sports sedan will also have HD Radio, just like the XK and XF, which have it now.

BMW Green Supercar
BMW is reportedly studying the viability to built a true supercar for 30 years since its original, limited-edition M1 model, a "high ranking insider" at the firm insists management is trying to reinvent its performance image with a new 'green' supercar, with the ultimate goal to create a two-seater sports car that showcases all of firm’s most sophisticated environmental technology. A limited production run would be timed for release at the end of 2012.
Chrysler Plans Facelifts
Chrysler and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is preparing to present his so-called Five Year Plan to the company's board on Friday. Part of the plan is to revamp five current Chrysler models by 2011, including the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Patriot. Products currently in the pipeline include the new Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Fiat 500 minicar will bow in the U.S. in 2011.
A facelift usually takes two to three years to complete, but Marchionne is set on having the projects done within 18 months. To hurry the redesigns, engineers and designers are expected to put in as much overtime as needed to complete the task on schedule.

Frankfurt Motor Show
Among the mainstream debuts, which totalled 82 world premieres on the first day, this year have been the brand new Vauxhall Astra, Ford's second generation C-Max, Kia's latest Ceed and all-new B-segment Venga. Mini also unveiled its Coupe Convertible and Raodster concepts which it confirmed will go into production at its plant in Cowley, Oxfordshire.
This year's main emphasis, however, has been on new generation electric and hybrid vehicles.
Electric warriors
Amost every manufacturer unveiled an electric car, from the intriguing Peugeot BB1 and Citroën REVOLTe, to the sporty Audi e-tron, while Renault promised that all four of its zero emission concepts were "in the production pipeline."
If they weren't unveiling electric cars, companies were unveiling hybrids or green sub-brands such as Kia's EcoDynamics - the name which will be applied to the most eco-friendly cars within each Kia model range, all around the world.
With so many cars announced before the show, there were few major surprises. Audi just about managed to keep the lid on the e-tron.
Audi says the e-tron is a clear indication that it will develop an electric car and it's likely to be a sports car. VW's L1 was also closely guarded and highly radical.

Mazda B: The Truck
Mazda B-Series, Like the Ford Ranger.
Since the Mazda merged with the Ford Ranger platform in 1994, the B-Series has steadily declined in both sales and public interest as the compact truck coped with threats to its segment. As the 1990s roared on and the full-size truck segment emerged as a hot area for automakers, small trucks became increasingly marginalized as Ford, GM, and Dodge offered larger variations with room for the whole family, for not much more money. With the B-Series now built on the rapidly-aging Ranger platform, the little truck struggled on an uneven playing field, even as the rest of world enjoyed a burgeoning small truck market.

Welcome To USA Mazda 2
Mazda said it would begin selling its redesigned 2 hatchback in the US and Canada by the end of 2010, the latest of several European and Japanese subcompacts finally taking a stake in the American market.
The Mazda 2, based off the Ford Fiesta which is also coming to the US next year as a 2011 model, has been on sale in Europe since 2007 (and has a longer history in Japan, where it's known as the Demio). The latest version, which debuted next to the Fiesta 3- and 5-door models at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show, offers a choice of 1.3 and 1.5 liter four-cylinder engines, plus a 1.4 liter turbodiesel. We'll see the US version at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show in December, and expect the US to get the 1.5 liter, which is good for 102 horsepower.
Small cars have typically bombed with the American public during long waves of cheaper gas prices, but the market is growing fast.
2011 Hyundai Sonata
After many leaked images and speculations, we now have the real deal. Hyundai has officially unwrapped the all new 2011 Sonata in its home country.
True to previous images we've seen, the new Sonata features styling that features plenty of four-door-coupe-style styling touches, which should distinguish it from more conventional sedans. With what Hyundai refers to as "fluidic sculpture" styling, the car is immediately more eye-catching than its predecessor, and the new Sonata is said to extend that appeal to the interior with the use of premium materials. Hyundai hopes the upmarket changes will make the Sonata a strong competitor in the mid-size sedan class against segment leaders Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, as well as further a shift in brand image started by the full-size Genesis sedan, introduced last year.
Base Price: $19,420 - $27,270

356 East Coast Holiday
Just as proud 356 owners keeps their Porsches, their annual East Coast Holiday was also in a very exclusive location: West Baden, IN. It may be off the track a little, but it's well worth it once you drive up to the magnificent hotel. I can't begin to explain how beautiful the resort was, see for yourself by visiting their website: http://www.frenchlick.com/. In addition to the beautiful location, I was treated with over 200 amazing 356's. Each one of them looked better than the day it came off the show room floor.
