Hummer H1

2011-05-04T02:10:00.000+07:00

Hummer H1 is the first vehicle that was produced by the company in 1992. This vehicle was the first ever vehicle that was based in High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Hum-Vee). This vehicle was designed by one of the supreme technical giant of US Military. These vehicles made huge difference to the truck buyers and ultimately they became the most selling vehicles of the company. After having five massive years of making trucks for sale business, these trucks were sold to the Chrysler brand and currently they are handling this brand with greater pleasure and prestige. These trucks were having amazing utilities to the Military and other important purposes.

The Hummer H1 truck has been known as a gas guzzler. It also has been crafted, designed, and popularized as a military-style status symbol. To top it all off, this vehicle has also been suffering from poor sales. That is the very reason why the company has decided to cut and entirely halt the production of the Hummer H1 and instead, focus on marketing and focusing its resources on their other vehicles that sell well and bring in the cash.

The last batch of Hummer H1s would soon be rolling out the company's production plant come June this year. It is not so effective when it comes to mileage for it could only run some 10 miles on a gallon of fuel. Despite this, the Hummer H1 would still be remembered fondly since it is the foundation of the Hummer brand.

According to Dayna Hart, GM's spokesperson for the Hummer brand, "We are discounting it because it's a low volume niche vehicle and we will dedicate out resources now to produce smaller-sized and higher-volume vehicles for Hummer."

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

2011-03-10T09:10:00.001+07:00

The Outlander Sport has already been released overseas, where it is known as the Mitsubishi RVR in Asia and the Mitsubishi ASX ("Active Sport Crossover") in Europe.

The new Outlander Sport is a condensed version of the successful Mitsubishi Outlander SUV. The 5-seat Sport is 13.6 inches shorter and 440 pounds lighter than the Outlander. The regular Outlander has an available V-6 engine and 7-passenger seating. The streamlining of SUVs into more compact form is a popular automotive trend.

The Outlander Sport will come with a 2.0-liter, 148 horsepower, and 4-cylinder MIVEC engine.

Suzuki Grand Vitara

2011-02-14T11:11:00.002+07:00

The new Suzuki Grand Vitara has been designed to perform rather better on-road, starting with the fundamentals. The ladder-frame chassis has gone, replaced by a monocoque structure. It looks very different, too, with a much sportier and more modern shape mixing cues from Suzuki's new swift and Toyota's very successful RAV4. The Grand Vitara's got bigger and 180mm longer than the old car but it doesn't look much larger. Bugger wings give a more aggressive stance and there are LED tail lights and a colour-coded cover for the spare wheel mounted, like on today's Vitara, on the rear door.

Inside, there's an entirely new look, and the ambience is much improved over that in previous versions. The triple-dial binnacle and neatly designed centre console are particular improvements. So too is that look, feel and usability of the switchgear. The only real let-downs inside are the front seats, which we found a little small. As in Japan, UK cars will get front, side and curtain airbags - six in total.

The old car's cramped boot has been replaced with a useful 398-litre load bay, which can be extended by folding the seat back down or tumbling the rear bench forward, although there is some wheel arch intrusion.

When it arrives in the UK, the new Grand Vitara will be available with 1.6 and 2.0 petrols and a Renault-sourced 1.9-litre turbo desiel. All come with five-speed manual transmissions, and the 2.0 litre has the option of four speed auto. The 2.7 V6 available in Japan won't be offered in Europe; a new Euro4 compliant 2.5-litre engine is being developed, and is due early next year.

The new monocoque chassis uses independent MacPherson strut suspension all around, and there's some genuine off-road hardware nestling under the Vitara's shell, Along with full time four-wheel drive there's also a locking centre differential and a generous 200mm of ground clearance. A brief off road test showed us that the Grand Vitara has lost none of its agility in the rough stuff, and there's even a low-ration gearbox for really sticky conditions.

2011-02-01T18:31:00.001+07:00

Honda Accord New

2011-01-05T11:50:00.003+07:00

The new Honda Accord coming in a wide selection of body styles and trim packages, consumers will have a lot of choices to make when choosing which one of these cars is best. A great selection of engines doesn't hurt the Accord either.

Engines available for '10 models include a 2.4 liter four cylinder that puts out a nice 177 horsepower. A standard 5 speed manual transmission comes on the 2.4 liter engine, with a five speed automatic offered as optional. The 3.5 liter V-6 offers a little more power with 271 horsepower and a standard 5 speed automatic transmission. V-6 coupe models are offered with a 6 speed manual transmission. Consumers will do well with either of these engines, but for a sportier feel with more performance, consumers who don't mind paying the extra money will really engine the V-6 equipped models.

Trim packages range from the basic LX, to EX-L. Basic models will come with a few amenities including a AM/FM stereo and optional power windows. For the price, LX models are great mid-size sedans that offer the reliability consumers need, without spending a load of money on extra options. Most LX models are equipped with the smaller 2.4 liter engines and a manual transmission. Mid-level packages come with power windows and locks, cruise control, more available upholstery fabrics, 16 inch wheels, and other additional options. Most mid level cars come with either a manual or automatic transmission for a an extra cost. EX models are the luxury versions of the 2010 Honda Accord sedans. They come with available leather seating, full power accessories, cruise control, either coupe or sedan body styles, sunroof, mp3/CD players and changers, and much more. Consumers who really want to enjoy their driving time will need to upgrade to this version.

Fuel economy is an area that the Accord doesn't do too bad either. Overall fuel consumption ranges from 22 to 31 mpg. For mid-size sedans those are respectable numbers. The smaller 4 cylinder equipped models get the best mileage, ranging from 25 mpg city to 31 highway. Larger models with the V-6 get from 22 mpg city to around 26 highway. Compared with vehicles like the Chevy Malibu Sonata the Accord is either as good, if not slightly better.

Range Rover 2010

2010-12-07T10:23:00.002+07:00

Range Rover Sport 2010 builds on its predecessor's impeccable pedigree, and now comes with two new powerplants, a 375 horsepower LR-V8 5.0 liter, naturally aspirated engine, as well as a supercharged version that puts out a mammoth 510 horsepower! In India, you have the option of the 3.0 liter V6 diesel and the 5.0 liter supercharged petrol. And believe me, 510bhp in car such as this, or any car for that matter, is a lot!

These engines were developed in conjunction with Jaguar, and are touted to be lighter and more efficient than the previous generation units. The new naturally aspirated RR Sport can hit 100km/h in a very spritely 7.4 seconds, while the supercharged variant takes just 6.0 seconds - Sport indeed. Both LR-V8 engines are mated to the ZF HP28 six- speed automatic transmission.

This time, we got a chance to sample the naturally aspirated version of the new Range Rover Sport - driving it from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and back, with a mild off-road excursion at a beach on California's glorious Pacific coast.

In terms of styling, the 2010 Range Rover Sport retains the earlier versions clean cut design, The 2010 update does, however, include LED headlamps, combined with a new two-bar grille, revised front bumpers and widened fenders. At the rear, new light clusters, and a revised bumper design mirror the smoother front-end. With its muscular squat stance, the Range Rover Sport certainly has great road presence, and looks just as purposeful whether it's cruising on Hollywood Boulevard or playing in the sand.

According to the company, the interiors have been redesigned using higher quality materials and soft-touch finishes to create an environment that's 'truly worthy of the Range Rover brand: With infinitely adjustable leather seats, tactile, well laid out switches, the interiors of the Range Rover Sport are truly fantastic,and arguably better than most other luxury SUV's on the road today. In fact, the redesign does bring the cabin of the Sport much more in line with its ultra luxurious bigger brother - the original Range. Special mention, also, must be made of the Harmon Kardon surround sound system that boasts 480 watts of power. Its 14 individual speakers produce a dramatic 3D effect from a iz-channel digitally controlled amplifier that makes for outstanding acoustics.

Aston Martin DB9

2010-11-01T10:09:00.000+07:00

The DB9 replaces the DB7 which started production in 1994. The DB9 coupe has a 6.0L engine. It has the same V12 engine as the Aston Martin Vanquish. With a width of 73.8 inches (over 6 feet), a height of 52 inches, and a length of 185 inches, it would be an understatement to say that the DB9 is a big GT. With such massive size in a coupe one might consider this machine cumbersome and slow. But underneath its bonnet lies a 450Hp power plant capable of raising the car to speeds over 180mph.

Currently there are more than 5000 Aston Martin DB9's produced each year. It is around the same numbers as Ferrari's F430 and Porsche's 911 Turbo. The DB9 come outfitted in a standard manual transmission or with a floppy paddle gear box. The instrument panel is as unique as the gearbox. The DB9's tachometer runs in a counter clockwise direction. Instead of the usual redline that is on most sports cars instrument panel the DB9 has a red light that glows when you are redlining the engine. In 2006 a sports package was introduced for the DB9 which improved stiffness, lowered right height, and added aluminum 19 in alloy wheels.

GMC Terrain

2010-08-12T22:10:00.002+07:00

Like the larger GMC Acadia, the GMC Terrain is a crossover vehicle which means that it has the look of a sport/utility vehicle yet it rides on a car platform. SUVs, which once dominated the market, are based on truck platforms, but offer a less comfortable ride and generally consume more gas. Thus, consumers are embracing crossovers as they want still want many of the attributes of an SUV without the fuel disadvantages.

Class Leading Fuel Economy

Available in front or all wheel drive, the GMC Terrain offers distinctive styling and shares the styling cues used to design the GMC Acadia. Powered by a standard 2.4L direct-injection I4 engine and paired with a six speed automatic transmission, this powerplant combination allows the Terrain to achieve remarkable fuel economy, achieving a class leading highway fuel economy rating of 32 miles per gallon. That figure even bests the highway mileage of the Ford Escape Hybrid by one mpg.

The Terrain features what GM calls a MultiFlex rear seat configuration which can be configured to extend legroom or maximize cargo capacity. Indeed, with rear seats folded down, the Terrain offers 64 cubic feet of cargo space, just the sort of capacity needed by yard sale devotees.

Well Appointed, High Technology

Cabin amenities are many and include a six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with USB connectivity, XM satellite radio service, integrated rear-view camera system, and plenty of safety features including OnStar, stability control, integrated navigation system and six airbags.

Ford Mustang 2006

2010-07-10T22:10:00.001+07:00

The performance package comes with a V8 engine that produces 315 horsepower.

The Mustang is a very safe vehicle. Most crash tests have given the 2006 Mustang a rating of perfect or near perfect for both front and side impact tests. Compared with other cars of similar dimensions the Mustang is one of the safest cars on the market. The solid body construction has a lot to do with that.

With a solid rear axle, the car is still a little stiff compared to other performance models. The newly tweaked front suspension actually improves ride quality dramatically, despite the awkward rear construction. Consumers will find that the vehicle handles very nimbly for a vehicle that is propelled by two very large engines. The Camaro of recent years is a little lighter than the Mustang but doesn't feel as solid in the handling department.

Buyers who want a performance car without spending ridiculous amounts of money should seriously check out a 2006 Ford Mustang. They offer lots of power, with very solid handling, and one of the best safety ratings of any car on the market.

Lamborghini Gallardo

2010-01-03T23:12:00.000+07:00

Here are some review for Lamborghini Gallardo. From the cost of the car is around the same as 18 Honda Jazz's but if you are wanting to know how much this car is then this car is probably not for you. It has Audi's switch gear and all grouped logically together. It has 6 speed transmission paddle shift similar to the ones in Maserati's and Ferrari's. The body shape is more chiselled and more defined. Overall it is a much more practical car than it's Lamborghini predecessors. It even has normal doors. If you wanted to you could use this car as an everyday car.

The car is 4 wheel drive and it needs it to be as there is so much power it needs to ensure all 4 wheels are glued to the floor. When you take the car on the track your first thought maybe to get the traction control off but you can really drive this with all the control aids on and still have a great time. It provides blistering performance as well as great handling, a 5 litre V10 engine and very grippy brakes.

There is also a convertible version called the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and this really brings the lunacy back. The Gallardo was a high performance car but it was practical and sensible. This version is still practical and is meant to be quiet at low speeds.
