The Hybrid also includes an “ECO” button that limits the power drawn by the climate control system and slightly increases fuel economy.

All 2011 Camrys come with impressive standard safety equipment, including anti-lock brakes, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and brake assist, along with seat-mounted side air bags and side curtain air bags. Vehicle stability control (VSC) is also now standard. Camry Hybrid models come with standard vehicle dynamics integrated management (VDIM), a stability control system that brings together inputs from the throttle, brakes and steering and is able to make minor corrections to maintain stability.

Volvo S80 Review 2011, Safest Luxury Car

2011-04-03T10:50:00.001-07:00

New 2011 Volvo S80 is the outstanding vehicle with many positive reviews. Our ranking and analysis are based on several published reviews online and test drive data for Volvo S80. Volvo S80 is the safest car to drive and an affordable luxury vehicle.

However, if you are expecting powerful performance and extra ordinary luxury, then you need to consider something else. Nevertheless, the Volvo S80 is the best cruiser in luxury cars and probably the safest car. It has unique and decent design that attracts many customers. The interior cabin is comfortable and trendy, but does not offer the same ambience like other luxury cars.
Most of the vehicles in this class offer sports performance. The Volvo S80 is the decent performer overall in comparison. Some of the reviewers question that why choose the S80? Our answer after the analysis “Volvo safety record with affordable price”. The 2011 Volvo S80 is approved by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety as “Top Safety Pick”, which means it passes all the crash tests with excellent scores. You can add more high-tech safety features that can control accidents caused by fatigue and distraction. The plus point is that Volvo S80 costs less than the competitors. If you are concerned about your budget and family safety, then most reviewers recommend this vehicle. However, if your wallet allows you to spend a couple of thousand dollars more, then you can take S80 off from your list.
The best alternative for Volvo S80 is 2011 Infiniti M, which is also rated as top safety pick. You have to spend $6,000 extra for Infiniti M. You cannot find the car in the list of luxury large cars for the price of Volvo S80. For 2011, Volvo has made significant changes and updated the engine lineup. The old V8 engine is no more available in 2011 Volvo S80.
Now, buyers can choose from 3.2 liter inline six cylinder engine, and a 3.0 liter turbo charged engine inline six cylinder. You can select between the front wheel drive and all wheel drive.

Spied: 2013 Range Rover

2011-04-03T10:47:00.000-07:00

Range Rover is taking a leaf out of Lotus’ book and adding lightness to its new flagship off-roader to dramatically improve fuel efficiency. The next generation of Range Rover is due to arrive this time in 2012, and will feature all-alloy construction for the first time.

The aluminium chassis will draw on Jaguar’s experience when building the current XJ. However, Land Rover’s engineers have done so much work to reinforce the car’s underpinnings and monocoque bodyshell that the firm calls it a separate platform. The chassis will also underpin the next Range Rover Sport, which currently uses the Discovery's mechanicals.

The Range Rover will become the world’s first all-alloy off-roader, ensuring that the newcomer stays ahead of the pack. The firm is targeting a weight cut of over 400kg, taking the kerbweight closer to 2,100kg.

As you can see from this engineering prototype, the newcomer’s wheelbase doesn’t change much from the current model. The finished car will feature a slightly longer set of dimensions in both the wheelbase and track, to liberate extra room inside.

And while the current car’s interior is among the best available on any luxury vehicle, the next Range Rover will feature a more spacious cabin, particularly in the rear, and a hike in quality of materials, fit and finish.

Designed by Gerry McGovern, the new Range Rover will feature the clamshell bonnet, floating roof and jewel-like lights of the current car, albeit with a lower roof and rounder front end to improved aerodynamics.

Engines will begin with improved TDV6 and TDV8 diesels which get stop-start for the first time, mated to an improved eight-speed auto gearbox. Petrol units will follow shortly after launch, followed by a diesel-electric hybrid.

Off-road performance will still be exemplary, with the latest generation of the firm’s Terrain Response system controlling the power delivery to keep you going whatever the landscape throws at you. For more details click here.

Nissan Cube one of the ‘Ten Most Beautiful Cars’

2011-04-03T10:36:00.001-07:00

No doubt I’m a little bias when it comes to the Nissan Cube, but now I have irrefutable scientific proof that dustbins any doubt about whether the Cube’s unique look is appealing to the eye.
In his Wheels.ca article reviewer John LeBlanc lists the Nissan Cube as one of the 10 most beautiful new cars you can buy today.
LeBlanc writes: “Like an Apple iPod, the Cube’s a well-thought-out piece of industrial design made affordable for the masses.
Yet some details – wrap-around window at the rear on the passenger side, and refrigerator-style opening – make the Cube look like nothing else on the road today.”

Pontiac Solstice Coupe

2011-04-03T10:35:00.001-07:00

Itâ€™s a fact that most of beautiful cars are expensive, but the Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2009 seems to suggest this is not an exclusive domain for rich only. Itâ€™s definitely a lot more than a convertible Solstice that has quite sufficient sheet metal as well as cargo space. With its integrated rear flanks, a liftback window and a traga double-bubble top, the Solstice Coupe is a real beauty.

The biggest flaw of the Solstice convertible has been corrected with its hardtop. Though more and more are becoming a victim of credit crunch with every passing day, many may not resist to this inspiring beauty that will hit the market with $25,000 price tag early next year.

Itâ€™s a real beauty for all those who can sense what beauty means for when it comes to autos.
