2011 Audi Q5

Audi Q5
Audi Q5
An all-new 2.0T model joins the Audi Q5 lineup for 2011, along with an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission and, as with the V-6, quattro all-wheel drive. The 2011 Audi Q5 offers a reasonably roomy interior for a compact vehicle, with more than enough headroom and legroom in front. Theres a little bit of road noise, and you do hear the four-cylinder engine a bit too much, though.

With top good ratings in every test from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and its Top Safety Pick Status for 2011, the Audi Q5 is one of the safest vehicles in its class—and one of the safest vehicles of any size.

That said, Audi nickles and dimes buyers for things that should be standard and are on many rival models; for instance, Bluetooth costs $700 on the base model, and an iPod interface costs $300.

The 2011 Audi Q5 gets a new base engine, the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder found in many other Audi models. The 2011 Audi Q5 is a compact luxury crossover available in four trim levels: 2.0T Premium, 2.0T Premium Plus, 3.2 Premium Plus and 3.2 Prestige.

Step up to the 3.2 Premium Plus for a V6 engine, 19-inch wheels, headlight washers and S Line exterior trim. The top-shelf 3.2 Prestige adds adaptive headlights, a blind-spot warning system, keyless ignition/entry, a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and the Audi MMI Navigation Plus package (navigation system, digital music storage, voice controls, rearview camera, HD radio, CD/DVD player and center-console-mounted MMI system).

The 3.2 Prestige can also be equipped with Audi Drive Select (four settings alter throttle response, transmission shift points and steering assist), adaptive cruise control and the Luxury package (ventilated front seats and upgraded leather). Both 3.2 models can be equipped with 20-inch wheels and the S Line package, which adds different 20-inch wheels, performance tires, a sport steering wheel, shift paddles and brushed aluminum trim.

The 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T comes standard with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 engine good for 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.

A six-speed automatic is standard. Estimated fuel economy stands at 18/23/20, which is tops among similarly powered all-wheel-drive crossovers.
The 2011 Audi Q5 comes standard with stability and traction control, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. The rear seats slide fore and aft, which is a rarity in this segment of luxury crossovers, and the seats also recline for greater comfort

The luxury vehicle also features an 8 speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Quattro all wheel drive is another feature and Audi will feature a hybrid version in 2011, as well.
The 2011 Audi Q5 reportedly possesses superior handling and comfort. The vehicle is easily maneuvered with variable assist steering.

Of all the comparable vehicles listed, Audi Q5 outperforms its competitors in nearly every category. Comparable vehicles include the following:
- Acura RDXLink- BMW X3
- Infiniti EX35
- Mercedes Benz GLK
- Volvo XC60

2014 Mercedes Benz SLC AMG SpyShot

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG
Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG: First spy shots of the coupe. Immediately after the official confirmation about making Mercedes Mercedes-Benz model SLC AMG, we get the first spy photos of prototype rolling road test in their routine testing Germanic. The aesthetic similarity between the SLC and SLS is tricky. This is because the test robot body panels used some of his older brother on camouflage to mislead journalists and others understood the world of motoring. Entering the market is scheduled for mid 2014. Much time. Alone we can tell you that you have patience, because what good is worth waiting ...

As recently as two months, from Mercedes-Benz finally ratified officially, it was just a rumor: The Making of medium-scale sports, based on the SL platform. Well, it seems more than just a rumor. With the SLC name and with the intention of proposing as the younger brother sales of sporting flagship of the entire history of the German mark, the SLS AMG alias Gullwing.

Does that model looks?
After this confirmation, spy photographers have captured some snapshots of the prototype tests. At first glance, the model sports the same design as the SLS AMG, we saw a few days here, but of a size that seems much smaller.

This does not translate in the future coupe will be released with the same lines as its upscale sibling, but its aesthetic similarity may be because the prototype has used some body panels of the SLS in its testing period, to confuse the staff. The new model will have its own design; you all know the conclusion of the last tests of the prototype.

For now, know the technical details of the SLC AMG most relevant, since by far not been made public, but surely that will compete with other sports with similar characteristics as the Porsche 911, Bentley Continental GT or the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2012.

Some more details ...
To achieve optimum weight reduction, aluminum panels used Mercedes and, perhaps, carbon fiber, reducing significantly the weight of the model.

As for its engine, rumored to carry a 5.5-liter V8 engine specially prepared by the sports division of Mercedes house. The power could range between 350 and 420 hp, enough to meet even the legendary 911 Carrera.

Although there may also be a more frugal V6, economic and notorious. We do not know is that as you look at the SLS AMG, but were pretty sure Mercedes SLC will leave the door without Gull Wing to maintain the quality of SLS AMG and its doors as most features.

In the coming weeks, well know more of the model. Insurance with the emergence of new images soon new Mercedes coupe, and at least something more than its price. The wait for another two years we will do forever. But, we will inform you in detail...

2011 Lincoln MKS Reviews

 Lincoln MKS
The Lincoln MKS retains its large interior and generous list of standard equipment for the new model year. Car insurance crash test scores are not yet available for the 2011 Lincoln MKS, but the 2010 model performed impeccably on all car safety tests. Standard safety equipment on the MKS includes antilock brakes, stability control, brake assist, a post-crash alert system, and traction control. The specs for the 2011 MKS are as follows:
Fuel economy: 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway
Engine: 3.7-liter, 273-horsepower V6; 3.5-liter, 355-horsepower V6

In photos, you’ll see that the 2010 and 2011 Lincoln MKS are virtually indistinguishable. However, the 2011 MKS offers four new paint colors for the new model year. Car reviews praise the design of the MKS as attractive but not dramatic.

At the top of the lineup is the 2011 Lincoln MKS Ecoboost, which offers a 3.5-liter, 355-hp V6 that offers superior performance to the base model while also offering all-wheel drive and better fuel economy.
For a comfortable, luxurious cruiser with solid gas mileage, however, the 2011 Lincoln MKS is a wise choice.

The MKS sedan was new for 2009, and it’s a bit of a sleeper. Priced against the likes of the Acura RL, Lexus GS, and Infiniti M37, the Lincoln MKS has some substantial charms of its own that outweigh those competitors. Where does the MKS excel? For gadget collectors, there’s all-wheel drive like the Acura RL has, as well as first-rate audio and telematics systems—not to mention Ford’s SYNC entertainment and phone controller.

It’s probably the Lincoln badges, but with well-executed cars like the MKS, that’s apt to change.
The front- or all-wheel drive Lincoln MKS is in a class that features mostly rear-wheel drive cars. While the MKS does feel agile compared to the Lincoln Town Cars of yore, much of the competition has improved handling when compared to the compliant ride of the MKS. At $41,500, the base Lincoln MKS undercuts much of the competition when it comes to price. At a little over $47,000 the M37 can’t meet the base Lincoln MKS in terms of price, but if you’re on the fence between a Lincoln MKS Ecoboost and a base Infiniti M37, the playing field levels – especially when you consider that an MKS Ecoboost starts at a little over $48,000.

The Lincoln MKS comes in two trim levels: base and Ecoboost. The base MKS comes with front-wheel drive, although shoppers can add an all-wheel drive option for about $2,000. Upgrading to the MKS Ecoboost adds improved power and standard all-wheel drive, although Ecoboost models start at about $7,000 more. SYNC – Ford’s voice controlled infotainment system – comes standard on all " Lincoln MKS "models, as do heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats.
For the 2011 model year, the Lincoln MKS remains largely unchanged.

2012 Honda Pilot revised headlights and a redone grille

2012 Honda Pilot
2012 Honda Pilot
Honda, like airline companies, likes its Pilots to be sober, and there’s nothing to raise the pulse in the 2012 Honda Pilot, which the company has subtly refreshed. LX still wear 17-inch steel wheels, but EX models and up gain new 18-inch aluminum wheels (an increase of 1 inch over last year’s). Honda’s HandsFree Link Bluetooth and audio streaming is now standard on EX, EX-L and Touring Pilots—previously the feature was available only when paired with navigation on EX-L and Touring models.

Four-wheel-drive Pilots see the same mileage increases, now earning a rating of 17/24 mpg.
Prices for the 2012 Honda Pilot are up marginally, with the EX-L model’s $300 increase being the largest. The front-drive Pilot LX starts at $29,280, followed by the $32,130 EX; $35,380 EX-L; and $40,030 Touring.

Arguably, Honda zinged when it should have sagged in designing the current Pilot. For 2012, the Pilot styling is softened, the interior is upgraded, and fuel economy is nudged up. Combined with friction-reduction efforts in the powertrain, a variable-displacement power steering pump, and low-rolling-resistance tires, the 2012 tweaks see the two-wheel-drive Honda Pilot improve 1 mpg city, 2 mpg highway for a combined 21-mpg EPA rating. The cabin is updated with new gauge faces, redesigned center control stack, deeper storage pockets, and some revised controls. By improving sealing around seams, changing suspension mounts, upgrading insulation materials, and reducing air leaks, Honda promises a quieter driving experience.

After the 2009 Honda Pilot SUV debuted, our editor-in-chief penned a blog titled, “The trouble with Honda design” with the popular crossover as the featured vehicle.

The Honda Pilot remains one of the few large crossovers available with traditional, blocky SUV styling. That polarizing appeal has been carried into the 2012 model year with revised headlights and a redone grille.
Honda has paid attention to interior complaints for the 2009-2011 Honda Pilots, introducing revised interior trim

Hennessey Venom GT Even more power

Venom GT2
 As if 1,200 horsepower is not enough, Hennessey Performance preparations for another 300 hp to squeeze more out of their frog. The Venom GT2 as the car is baptized soon on sale for $ 1.25 million each.

A call to Hennesseys headquarters in the U.S. Texas and it is surely possible to Venom GT2 also on Dutch plates to obtain. The question is whether you should want, because the purchase price including taxes would sometimes by two million to shoot. For that money you have to turn yourself also. Real mates want nothing more, but most will have their hands more than full with just over 1,500 horsepower. For those who wish, there is a 7-speed automatic with shift paddles available. The extra cost of this amounts to an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, or expressed in numbers $ 165,000.
Venom GT2
fRONT

Two flashes
In short, a Hennessey Venom GT2 drive is not cheap. But for all that money you get something back. "A car with one of the most favorable hp / weight ratios," said John Hennessey, the big boss at Hennessey Performance. How the performance of the updated GT2 exact breakdown is not yet known, but will be even better than the GT with poor 1,200 horsepower. Each hp from that model requires just 900 grams in motion and keeps resulting in acceleration to 100 km / h in 2.2 seconds. The GT2 will probably trick after two flashes already have conjured out of the hat. And top speed? Given that at speeds above 400 km / h car seriously more power should contain for every 1 km / h more, we estimate the top of the GT2 at 435 km / h. The GT (1) can, in theory, 420 km / h. The roof would blow it off!

Volkswagen’s U S boss wants Scirocco in the States



scirocco r 630 450x300 Volkswagens U.S. boss wants Scirocco in the States
Whenever anyone brings up the Scirocco, we still can’t help but wince a bit at the fact that the United States was snubbed from the car’s second coming. Apparently we’re not alone. According to USA Today,Volkswagen America head honcho Jonathan Browning wouldn’t mind seeing the low-slung three-door on our shores, either. Browning said that while Volkswagen was unable to make a solid business case for bringing the Scirocco to the U.S. market the last time around, he still wants to see the car in our neck of the woods. Unfortunately, we may have to wait a few years before that happens.
Browning said that there were a few other more pressing items on his plate at the moment, including improving his company’s quality and making the dealer experience more tolerable. Those seem like plenty noble goals, but we still wouldn’t mind seeing the ‘Rocco on American soil sooner rather than later. While we love the Golf GTI as much as the next lead-footed American, there’s just something about a Scirocco that flips all the right switches.
We’re waiting, VW.

Although critics say that the 2012 BMW 5-Series litter does not content the space rivals much as Mercedes-Benz E-Class, nearly all concord that the 5-Series features spellbinding domestic that has been improved with swollen propertied materials.

Nevertheless, the Grand Turismo models wage statesman wares grapheme and lift space pleasance.

The 5-Series includes deceiver airbags and front-side, and also full-length perversion protecting mantle root airbags. Notwithstanding, the 5-Series does not possess a woods articulation airbag, which is now normal in litter rivals equivalent the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Lexus GS. Acrobatic direct restraints are provided for the forward seats exclusive, representative mammoth wealth cars.

BMW also offers several elective device engineering on the Playoff 5 -. Among them is the Night Extrication with Prosy Perception, which displays the workable touring hazards on the direction cover when they are out of straddle lights. An unseeing pip monitoring system is another alternative.

Perhaps the most noble device innovations, withal, is a reference four-year subscription to BMW Assist. Suchlike the solon famous GM on Star copulate, BMW Assist module lenses the brake services to the position of the car when the accident occurred.

2011 Kia Forte Review

Kia Forte
Kia Forte sports

The Kia Forte sports crisp styling that gives the sedan an athletic shape. For 2011, the Kia Forte lineup finally gets a six-speed automatic transmission, a new four-door hatchback body style and a minor equipment shuffle.

The 2011 Forte also receives a standard six-speed manual transmission on all models and a new six-speed automatic.

The 2011 Kia Forte is available in three body styles: four-door sedan, four-door hatchback and two-door coupe ("Koup"). The sedan is available in LX, EX and SX trims, while the hatchback and Koup come in EX and SX trims only.

Standard equipment on the base LX includes 15-inch steel wheels, a six-way-adjustable driver seat, a tilt steering column, 60/40-split-folding rear seat, Bluetooth connectivity and a four-speaker CD/MP3 audio system (with satellite radio and USB/auxiliary audio jacks). The EX adds keyless entry, air-conditioning, full power accessories, a six-speaker audio system and cruise control, while the EX Koup adds 16-inch alloy wheels, firmer suspension tuning, sport front seats and a sportier exhaust note.

The SX trim comes equipped with a more powerful 2.4-liter engine, a sport-tuned suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, wider tires, foglights, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an enhanced gauge cluster, a trip computer, unique cloth upholstery and metallic interior trim. A Fuel Economy package for the EX sedan and hatchback adds electric power steering, low-rolling-resistance tires and aerodynamic enhancements. SX options include a sunroof and heated leather seats, while a Technology package offering keyless ignition/entry, a navigation system, automatic climate control and chrome exterior door handles is available on the EX and SX.

Powertrain and Performance

The 2011 Kia Forte LX and EX get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 156 hp and 144 pound-feet of torque. Opting for the Fuel Economy package bumps the EX sedan/hatchback figures to 27/37/30.

Kia estimates the more powerful Forte SX at 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway with the manual and 23/32 (23/31 for the Koup) with the automatic.

Safety

Standard Forte safety equipment includes antilock disc brakes with brake assist, stability control, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints.

The Kia Forte has not been rated using the governments new, more strenuous 2011 crash testing procedures. In the side-impact tests, the Forte earned five stars for the driver and four stars for rear passengers. Cargo space is plentiful in the coupe and sedan, measuring 12.6 cubic feet and 14.7 cubic feet, respectively.

Driving Impressions

The 2011 Kia Forte isnt exactly a drivers car in LX or EX guise.

The Kia Forte receives a few aesthetic and mechanical changes, but the most noticeable shift is the introduction of the Forte five-door hatchback. Kia succeeded, and the 2010 Forte became a reviewer favorite for its ample cargo space, affordable price and strong list of standard features. For 2011, Kia Forte sedan and Koup models remain largely unchanged. Kia, however, has added another model to the Forte lineup: a five-door hatchback.

The new transmission should improve fuel economy, but neither Kia nor the EPA has released fuel economy ratings.

In addition to a new transmission, the hatchback is shorter in length than the 2010 Kia Forte sedan and Koup, but it’s still longer than the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Golf. Some aspects of the five-door hatchback carry over to the 2011sedan and Koup models. The 2011 Kia Forte five-door hatchback will be available this fall, but Kia has not provided a release date for the 2011 Forte sedan and Koup. The hatchback’s seats fold down -- but not all the way -- to provide 26 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front row. Unlike the Fiesta and Forte, the Fit is only available as a hatchback.

If you don’t want a hatchback, there are plenty of sedans available that offer a complete package: ample cargo space and good fuel economy. Details: 2011 Kia Forte

The 2011 Kia Forte has three model options: a sedan, Koup and a five-door hatchback.

Kia hasn’t released pricing information for the 2011 models. The 2010 Forte models, however, are priced affordably, and start at $13,695 for the sedan and $16,595 for the Koup.
