Ford-Fiesta-Mountune Super luxury Sport car

Aspiring rally fans buckle up, as this is your chance to follow in the footsteps of Mikko Hirvonen, Jari-Matti Latvala or Ken Block. Already offered throughout Europe, the Ford Fiesta R2 rally package has now become available in the U.S. Those that buy the rally-prepped Fiestas will be able to compete in a new championship, called Fiesta Sport Trophy, in the Rally America Series 2WD class, starting from 2011.




Ford will earn credits for brand awareness of their Ford Fiesta as it will come into contact with a wider demographic. For those of you sat at home with nothing to do you can watch all the fun from YouTube which may not be as fun as soaking up the social experience of the musical festivities and events but at least there isn't a clothing policy and you won't get beer thrown in your hair.

Ford have also invited YouTube's sister company to the event as well as Google who will circulate the event throughout the company's mobile, search, and contextual advertising networks. Online links have also been set up so that anyone looking for Bonnaroo will likely come across an advert for the weekends festivities and then clearly any of the sponsorship from Ford, but in particular reference to the Ford Fiesta.

If that's not enough to satisfy your inner audiophile, the optional Alpine Premium stereo adds a different faceplate with a touchscreen interface and a knob that combine to mimic an iPod's controls. A series of buttons makes switching among the seven different audio sources easy. Also included with the Alpine system is HD radio, a "media expander" that improves the sound quality of digital music files and additional RCA outputs for further expandability. A navigation system and a back-up camera can also be added to the upgraded stereo.

While the xB is naturally a big draw with practicality-minded buyers, Scion hasn't lost sight of its original mission to be a hip, funky brand for hip, funky youngsters. For 2010, that means improving the standard and optional stereo systems. The factory-installed Pioneer stereo gets a new faceplate that provides a large display screen and a multipurpose control knob designed for use with the standard iPod interface. A new RCA output allows owners to plug in an aftermarket subwoofer

It's hard to be sure of anything in today's dire global economy, especially in the car business. Take Chrysler.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/SxaDZKnoVII/AAAAAAACTNM/-hEPN63Csaw/s1600/Alfa-Romeo-Giulietta-4.jpg

America's weakest automaker went through bankruptcy and came out in partnership with an Italian automaker. Without the restructuring, Chrysler said it wouldn't have lasted through 2009, which meant it wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the life-saving "strategic alliance" with Italy's Fiat Auto.

2011 The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG coupe

It is always a welcome addition when a great supercar paves the way to a "convertible" or often named "roadster" version of itself. The market for exotic convertibles and exotic rental convertibles will certainly have room for one more!

The gearbox is a double clutched affair which works really well. There is a slight delay when you flick the paddles but overall it feels very sharp and responsive. The car is very obviously rear wheel drive. The seating position is very back and harks back to honest, old school GT's and combined with the sharp steering you have total faith in where the front of the car is going to go.

Detail Review The 2011 Acura TSX V6

Acura is well renowned for producing premium vehicles with an athletic flair and the TSX is no different. 2010 will be the first time that the TSX will be available on the market with a more robust six cylinder engine.

Those are based on their computer graphic card technology. This technology is also used in scientific computers because the chips are potentially 20 times faster than Intel's pentium processors. One of them will be the base for the new MMI system, allowing generation of smooth map transitions when driving. With the technology a 3D orientation map with true-to-scale terrain and photo realistic depictions of key landmarks is made possible in cars for the first time. Finally with the new system Audi implements features including USB storage media (iPod and MP3), satellite radio and blue tooth.

Safety And Technology Leadership The Volvo S40

Shoppers looking for a manual transmission will have to look elsewhere. By standardizing the Geartronic transmission, Volvo hoped to appeal to two consumer bases simultaneously: those who want an automatic transmission and those who want a manual transmission. If you’ll never use the Geartronic’s automatic option, the BMW 1-Series, Volkswagen GTI, Volvo C30 and Acura TSX offer manual transmissions.

Start/Stop is a Volvo invention which is able to do its job thanks to the addition of a special, compact battery that has been designed to provide support to the main battery by means of offering extra power. This unusual battery combination means that the S40 restarts quickly and smoothly, while also allowing the audio system to run uninterrupted while at a stop. Air-conditioning powers down when the engine goes off, but quickly kicks back on if needed.

So if you are looking for a car that is both kind to the environment while still offering maximum fun to drive appeal, then the Volvo S40 DRIVe edition delivers abundantly on both counts.

As for power, reviewers say the S40’s engine isn’t impressive when compared to the Volkswagen GTI or BMW 1-Series. Volvo made a wise choice, however, by making the five-cylinder turbocharged engine and Geartronic automatic transmission standard.
