New Alfa Romeo Spider 2010

The Alfa Romeo Spider is a roadster produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1966 to 1993 (190 Spiders were badged as 1994 Commemorative Editions for the North American market). Widely regarded as a design classic, it remained in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. The three first series were assembled by Pininfarina in Grugliasco and the fourth series in San Giorgio Canavese. The last Spider was produced in April 1993, it was also the last rear wheel drive Alfa Romeo produced before Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was introduced.

Now, Alfa Spider is compact concept created by students Gaiani Alberto, Massimo Zedda Paparella and Michela, for the 2009 edition of the Master in Transportation Design organized by the Polytechnic University in Milano (Milan, Italy) in partnership with Alfa Romeo. SuperCarDesign concepts presented in the 2010 event, which took place on May 3 and at Bobbio in northern Italy.

The project was introduced by Samuel Codegoni designer, faculty member at the University of Italy. One of the main idea that drives this project is to express a sense of suspense in the action.

"This is clearly away from the first production model as a reference: the Duetto iconic of the 1960s - the second reference is the Alfa Spider from the 90s, with a distinctive wedge-shaped profile."

The layout features a mechanical engine is mounted longitudinally front combined with rear-wheel drive. The soft-top is electrically operated.

Design has always been an important factor for Alfa Romeo. In fact, it's the combination of design and engine that has made it into the legend it certainly is today. There has been made quite a few Alfa concept cars over the years by the Alfa in-house design department Centero Stile, and by outside design houses like Pininfarina, Bertone, Zagato and Giugiaro/ItalDesign. Below are some of these concepts, - and cars made in very limited numbers. Most of these are not actually working, and were just made for showing off at different Motor Shows.

Little about the alfa remeo

The Italians would call any open car a "Spider", but the name actually comes from the old horse carriages suitable for two. (You know the one Doc always rides in the old western movies). Since Spider is the general term for an open two-seater, or roadster, - there has been several Alfa Spiders (and Ferrari's for that matter) over the years. These pages mainly concentrate on the Pininfarina designed 1995 GTV/Spider, - with some other Alfa models thrown in as well.

Anyway, - I bought the Spider first of all because of the exceptional and award winning design and I was constantly looking at the reflection in the shopping windows when I was waiting for a green light. However, I soon discovered that I had bought something a lot more! Suddenly, terms like "driving pleasure", and "the Alfa Romeo legend" made sense. I was always trying to come up with poor excuses to take it for a spin and it did what most cars won't do for you.

2010 Audi TTS Concept

Audi unveiled the Audi TTS in 2008. It was designed to a powerful sport car. Now Audi debuted the 2010 model of TTS after two years later. The new model will be sold in both coupe and roadster bodies.

Compare to the second generation TT, I especial like the original TT. But the second generation is more powerful than the original, so if your like driving you may like the second generation. Audi equip with turbocharged performance and seductive design meet exquisite craftsmanship in the 2010 Audi TTS, but U.S.-bound versions are missing the one feature they need most: a true manual transmission.

The new AUDI TTS gets a mild facelift highlighted, complemented by revised chrome accenting on its grille and redone foglamps and housings. Other exterior change include dual chrome exhaust tips,a distinct front and rear fascia as well as LED driving lights and a set of slick 18 inch wheels.

Inside, the new model is available as a four-seat coupe and a two-seat roadster. Audi Navigation System Plus displays 3D map graphics on a 6.5-inch LCD screen, also equips with MP3 memory card slots and a six-CD changer.

Computer controls change the damping rates to match the driving situation, and the driver can choose between Normal and Sport modes for soft comfort or stiff fun.

The Audi TTS is equipped with a standard high output version of the direct injected 2.0 Liter engine, which making a maximum output of 265 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque, pound-feet from 2500 to 5000 rpm. The additional power and customized Quattro all wheel drive system helps the TTS accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4.9 seconds.

Engine choices are also changed from two to one as only a 2-litre petrol engine is available.

The 2-litre version for the new X-Trail produces 139 bhp/198 Nm and has enhanced efficiency with variable valve timing. It’s actually the same RON95-compatible engine as found in the Sylphy (but tweaked for enhanced torque) and like the sedan, it also uses Nissan’s XTRONIC CVT with 6 speeds.

The SUV’s engine and transmission also ensure superior fuel economy. Tests have shown that the X-Trail’s average fuel consumption is a healthy 14km per litre (Japan 10-15 mode) - and this is comparable to that of many sedans on the road today.

These include bi-xenon headlamps for improved visibility at night and during bad whether; an intelligent system for true keyless entry and startups; enhanced audio system with MP3 playback, six virtual CDs, USB port, AUX jack, SD Card connectivity, Bluetooth function and Telephone Control Input; as well as dual air bags, ABS, BA (Brake Assist) and six-star safety rating by the Japanese New Car Assessment Programme.

New Mazda CX-7 2010 Many Advantages

The 2010 Mazda CX-7, a luxury sedan ranked 13 of 26 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on analysis of 66 published reviews and test drives the Mazda CX-7, and data analysis in the USA about the reliability and security.

For 2010, Mazda's performance-minded SUV gets a makeover inside and out. The changes add up to great value equation - the CX-7 is a big family SUV with cool style and sporty driving experience.

Five-seat CX-7 is a transporter family that does not look or drive like one. This is a great choice for families who want a zippy performance at an affordable price. For 2010, CX-7 offers a new styling and a new base engine - 2.5-liter powerplant is the same used in the Mazda5 and Mazda3. Four-cylinder engine makes 161 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque, which means it makes less power than the previous engine turbocharged SUV, but will achieve fuel economy better.

"The CX-7 has been a Car and Driver crossover favorite since its debut in 2006 -- lots of style, respectable power, and road manners worthy of the ‘Zoom-Zoom' tagline," says Car and Driver. "The only element that seemed to need attention was pricing, which could be perceived as a little high versus the base models of key competitors such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV-4." Mazda has addressed this concern with the new model -- the 2010 CX-7's base price is $22,300, a decrease of $2,350 compared to the 2009 base model. While the price is still a bit higher than the Honda's and Toyota's, it's a step in the right direction. Since the CX-7 is substantially refreshed and costs less than last year, it may make more sense to wait for this 2010 model than to buy a 2009 CX-7.

Other SUVs to Consider

Though the CX-7 is improved, it still isn't perfect. It may not suffice as a good vehicle for large families because of a cramped rear seat and small cargo area. Buyers who need these attributes and can live without the CX-7's especially sporty ride should consider the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia. The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 also offer plenty of cargo space, and the RAV4 even boasts an optional third row.

Details: Mazda CX-7

The 2010 CX-7 comes in three trim levels -- the new SV base model, Sport, Touring and Grand Touring -- with a new 2.5-liter base engine and an optional turbocharged four-cylinder.

"CX-7 emphasizes sport over utility and ride comfort to stand out in a crowded market segment. Its turbo 4-cylinder engine is neither as fuel-efficient as one might expect nor as smoothly powerful as it ought to be. But there's appeal here for those who need something roomier than a midsize car and want fresh-looking SUV styling."

"For the sporty-minded, it sets the standard for so-called crossover-utility vehicles." -- USA Today

"We've drawn many comparisons between the VW Tiguan and the Mazda CX-7, but which is the better buy? Both vehicles are handsome-looking crossover SUVs. Performance is also very good in both vehicles. Although the Mazda has more cabin space and better tech, the Tiguan's better fuel economy and build quality make it a slightly better long-term investment."

"This is a great car for the money, especially when compared to its competition."

"If you're looking for a crossover that's a little different than the rest, one that will stand out from the crowd, you really should consider the CX-7. Resist the urge to pile on the options, and you'll have a deceptively elegant, delightfully inexpensive crossover that will be the envy of the neighborhood." -- About.com

CX-7 Performance - 8.6

Test drivers find the 2010 Mazda CX-7 continues to offer deliciously sporty performance, especially for an SUV. Though reviewers heavily criticized the previous model's fuel economy, a new normally aspirated engine for 2010 offers a more efficient option. "Cruising down the coast, we felt -- if only for a moment -- that there might be something to Mazda's claim of 'the soul of a sports car,'" says CNET. "The CX-7 has the heart. Mazda's crossover certainly feels sporty in the power and the handling departments, as long as you don't push it too hard." Read More

CX-7 Exterior - 9.0 (Excellent)

The 2010 CX-7 receives a minor exterior freshening, including a revised front fascia, new grille and redesigned rear bumper. Reviewers call it one of the better looking SUVs in its class. Consumer Reports says the exterior "is treated to a cheerful facelift, giving it a smiling appearance much like the revised MX-5." Read More

CX-7 Interior - 7.6 (Good)

The 2010 Mazda CX-7 excels in performance and exterior styling, but it loses points for its interior. The cramped rear seat detracts from the cabin's appeal, and the CX-7's family-car appeal. On the plus side, interior updates for 2010 improve the cabin quality and layout. "Splashes of chrome trim brighten the appearance of the dashboard, and upgraded upholstery materials (both cloth and leather), a new steering wheel, and revised gauges elevate the quality of the interior," says Car and Driver. Read More

CX-7 Safety - 8.7 (Very Good)

The 2010 Mazda CX-7 has received excellent scores in federal government crash tests. It also features a comprehensive array of safety equipment, including side curtain air bags and electronic stability control. However, there are front visibility concerns due to the CX-7's styling. Read More

CX-7 Reliability - 6.0 (Mediocre)

The 2010 Mazda CX-7 reliability score shown is the Predicted Reliability rating provided by J.D. Power and Associates. This score is based on trending the past three years of historical initial quality and dependability data from J.D. Power's automotive studies, specifically the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) and the Initial Quality Study (IQS). The 2010 CX-7 comes with Mazda's three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty.

On the same auto show, the company also promised that the “new Jaguars would be beautiful, fast, glamorous and evocativeâ€�. In order to keep that promise, the new XJ will take many of its design elements from the C-XF concept: the narrower nose with narrower headlights, the same large, square grille. Also the car’s interior design theme is close to that seen in the C-XF concept, but with addition of some hi-tech fixtures and fittings.New on the XJ models will be the windscreen that is said to extend back into the roof panel.Under the hood, the new XJ will feature a lineup of engines including a Volvo-derived in-line six and updated V8. There will be a 3.2 liter V6 and V8 engines and also the new 3.2 litre petrol six. Also the V8 engines from current model will be upgraded to 5.0 liters.

With a base price that's over $33,000, the H3 is one of the most expensive SUVs in its class -- even when compared to other off-road SUVs. Even worse, its poor 14/18 mpg fuel economy rating is the lowest in its class. While these factors may make the H3 seem like a lousy value, its excellent all-terrain capabilities and high ground clearance might make it worth it for real off-road enthusiasts. In addition, the 2009 base model received an "Excellent" value rating from IntelliChoice, meaning its five-year cost of ownership is better than average.

Buyers should know that the 2009 or 2010 models may be your last chance to get your hands on a Hummer. GM's sale of the Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery, a Chinese company, fell through in late February 2010 because the Chinese government didn't approve the deal. GM is expected to fold the Hummer brand over time and will continue to honor Hummer warranties. Production has been suspended since January 2010.

Honda Accord Crosstour shows tiny problems in the IIHS rollover tests

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducted rollover tests on several vehicles and the Honda Accord Crosstour was among those that didn’t do well.

Already, many observers expect this model to get an early refresh. The suggestions include a new face and a titanium-reinforced roof. In the latest tests, the IIHS didn’t exactly roll the vehicles. Rather, the IIHS pushed a metal plate against 1 corner of a roof at a constant speed. To get a good rating, a roof must withstand a force of 4 times the vehicle’s weight before reaching 5 inches of crush. To get an acceptable rating, the minimum strength-to-weight ratio that’s needed is 3.25. A poor rating is given to those that have lower than 2.5. Vehicles that did remarkably well are the Grand Cherokee, Highlander, Liberty, and Venza, which all withstood forces of almost 5 times their weights. The Crosstour can withstand 2.8 times its weight while the Endeavor and Pilot can endure only 3 times its weight.

New Chrysler Aspen Limited

Chrysler Aspen Limited 4x2 Chrysler is a full-size SUV. Aspen shares the same platform as the Dodge Durango. It is clear that when Aspen was in the drawing board we did not suffer from the credit crisis or rising gas prices. However, despite the slim size and cost of Aspen to deter buyers, some buyers really need vehicles like the Chrysler Aspen Limited 4x2 to tow a big boat or trailer. We must not forget that there is a place for vehicles with large capacity drawer.

The Chrysler Aspen Limited 4X2 uses exactly the same suspension layout as the Dodge Durango, independent, double-wishbone front and non-independent solid-axle rear. The Aspen comes with a 303-hp 4.7-liter V8 or a 335-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine and either rear- or all-wheel drive. Both engines are mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and the Hemi V8 includes the Chrysler Multi-displacement System (MDS) which is capable of shutting down 4 cylinders to conserve fuel when not required.

Conventional 2009 Chrysler Aspen are available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrids are AWD only. Maximum towing capacity is 8900 lb for conventional models, 6000 lb for the Hybrid. A low-range gear for off-roading is an option on non-Hybrid AWD models. The 2009 Chrysler Aspen its available in safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags.

Standard seating is for eight with a 2nd-row bench; available buckets reduce it to seven. A power liftgate and rearview camera are standard on all models. Leather upholstery and navigation system are standard on Hybrid and available on other models. DVD entertainment is optional on all.

New Holden Viva Otomatic Go Better

Holden Viva is the top choice if you are looking medium cars special. Holden Viva is meant for those buyers with limited budgets. If you are confused whether to buy or not then read.

Very simple, Holden Viva is a sharp car and is equipped with a good price, the two most important factors to consider when buying a new car. In addition to this, he has a reasonable performance, agile and equipped with the appropriate interior and large boot space.

No doubt the ride quality is up to par with its ability to soak up even the worse road surfaces, and the tyre and wind noises are passive. Under cushy and simple conditions the Holden Viva is a quiet and low impact ride. This provides a smooth ride helping to avoid the bumps and jarring of daily suburban driving.

With an average of 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers, you won’t have to worry about the recent fuel price hikes. So is the Viva the small car upheaval that Holden claims? Judged merely in product terms, not by a long shot. But on the sales charts, where things like space, value and features usually add up for more than sharp handling and modern design, the Viva is likely to make an impact.
