The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 Limited Edition, Photo amd Specs






The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 Limited Edition uses the same hybrid system of traditional HYbrid4, consisting of a four-cylinder diesel with a displacement of 2.0 liters and power of 163 hp and a 37 hp electric motor, in turn supervised by the robotized sequential six BMP6 reports. This set will be available in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom, Spain and Switzerland. The first images will be disseminated during the Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March). How much is consumed too early to say below hazard a guess, sure costs a lot, but try to configure a 3008 diesel with the same accessories, you go quietly to 30,000 , with no sunroof and leather interior, and without all-wheel drive guaranteed by the hybrid system.
I have 22,000 for the base petrol version, after getting a decent discount.
The consumption of gasoline hybrid and I think those are separated by an abyss, the diesel hybrid system should provide at least 25 km / l, the gasoline I do not get to 15, it means spending almost double, with 30.000 km per year 800 more liters, equivalent to 1,200 euros per year, not bad as a difference.

2011 Honda Gold Wing : Photo and Review





The gold wing is an amazing bike, it really changed riding for me. being 30 years old I thought I was way too young to enjoy this bike. I was proven wrong. it handles great, its balanced well, super comfortable, looks great, has alot of power. BUT... the mpg is ridiculous. it gets the same gas mileage as my car. I've owned 2 Goldwings. My current one is a 2008, no airbag but everything else. I love it. I ride it to and from work just about everyday. I've taken long trips by myself. Driven through driving rain, wind even hail. 2 years ago I even hit a deer doing 60MPH on the Oregon coast. I didn't go down. It was like hitting the brakes hard. The deer wasn't so lucky. I get 40mpg and if I keep it at 65 I can even get 50mpg. I love my Goldwing. Can't wait to read the 2nd part of this article. Thanks for the well written article Adam!

2011 New Pontiac Vibe User Reviews ,Photo and Specs engine






The 2011 Vibe is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon, available in 4 trims, ranging from the 1.8L to the GT. I had the car almost a year now. I like it very much, but I have to get rid off it. The seat is killing me. I constantly keep turning and adjusting the seat...but never find the right position. I owned many cars in my life, but never own the car tht I have to sell becaue of the seat.
Upon introduction, the 1.8L is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4, 132-horsepower engine that achieves 26-mpg in the city and 32-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The GT is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 158-horsepower engine that achieves 21-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. It is easy to handle. Has loads of room, even without folding the back seats down. Easy to get in and out of. Leg room in the front is great, back seat it is after all a small car so the leg room is limited.
There is a blind side when you look out the passenger side to see if anyone is comming or if anyone is in the other lane

New 2011 Ford Fiesta Sport : Fiesta Sport Photo, Reviews








Ford is not 'steady as technological development, because it has a dual-clutch gearbox and a 1.6 turbo in the list.
I do not understand why 'is adopted on the Fiesta, perhaps for space (I doubt) or madness (likely). ... The Fiesta in contrast to a 1.6 Saxo VTS, it is much safer ... .. but just to make a compare with 120 hp accelerating from 0-100 in 7.8 sec. and the maximum speed was 210 ... .. a little go kart! This is a boat on wheels. La Fiesta 1.6 Sport + differs from standard not only for aesthetics, but also for the mechanics: the four-cylinder engine sees its power increase from 120 to 134 hp and torque from 152 to 160 Nm Just enough to bring the 0-100 from 9.9 to 8.7 if the maximum speed from 193 to 195 km / h.

Externally, the Sport + is characterized by two specific colors, Performance Blue and Frozen White, with two longitudinal stripes in contrasting shades. Novel design of the bumpers and skirts, even the twin exhaust is new as well as the white circles from 17 ". La Fiesta Sport + will be offered in Germany in late spring at a price of 18,090.

New 2011 Nissan Micra DIG-S :Photo and Reviews






Mmm. concrete has a very modern engine test will be better and certainly in the cylinder Fiat, which has proved a flop because it consumes almost double the state. I mean who agrees to sell to those who do not buy it. In any case, the only thing I do not like about this engine is that it has 3 cylinders! I prefer the sound! but just because I love the engine and I am a passionate, normal people do not know the difference between 3, 4, 5, 8 etc V6 L6.! We are waiting for proof! This will eventually also on the Renault, but I prefer 1.2Tce has 4 cylinders!. Direct-Injection Gasoline Engine Supercharger (short for S-DIG) is characterized by the use of the Miller cycle, the multi-point electronic fuel injection and the compression ratio of 13:1, measures that have yielded a value of power comparable to a four-cylinder 1.5. For all versions (Visia, Comfort, Acenta and Tekna) supplied the Start & Stop system and regenerative braking, as well as new front and rear spoilers who cX reduce from 0.33 to 0.29. The official presentation is planned during the Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March)

2011 Infinity Etherea : Reviews and Specification




I really like the new Infiniti design language, but I don't really like any of the cars that have gone into production under its use. None seem to be far off the mark, but they all seem to need just a little more or a little less of something. The Essence concept seemed more successful to my eye than the cars it has inspired.

There are some design languages or styling themes that just seem all wrong from the beginning. The Bangle behind, flame surfacing was never salvageable to me. Ditto for the Mercedes droopy dogs. The Essence style seems really close, but just not quite there in execution.

Designed to preview an entry-level model, the Etherea "blends elements of coupé, sedan, hatchback and even crossover in one highly sculptural, near-mono volume form." Overall, the concept measures 4.4 meters long and features a panoramic glass roof, an illuminated grille, and a distinctive C-pillar.

While no interior pictures were released, Infiniti says the cabin has high-tech variations of traditional Japanese materials and finishes.

The car will be officially unveiled on March 1st, so stay tuned for more information

Next-gen 2012 Kia Rio teaser sketches released :Photo and reviews
Golf-ish but with more modern more aggressive looks ... Kia have really breached the style gap with both this and the new Optima ... will take one for a test drive before I buy again (considering a Polo GTi atm). available in 3- and 5-door body styles, the Rio "combines European finesse with Korean spice to create a form language that communicates Latin flair." While we're not so sure about the latter statement, the redesigned model has a sportier front fascia, distinctive headlights, and a prominent C-pillar.

Compared to the outgoing Rio, the new car is 55mm longer, 15mm lower, and 25mm wider. It rides on a 2,570mm wheelbase, which is stretched 70mm over its predecessor. Thanks to these changes, the cabin is roomier and cargo capacity climbs to 292 liters (3-door) and 390 liters (5-door).

Under the hood, a variety of engines will be offered including a turbocharged 1.2-liter GDI petrol and a 1.1-liter diesel with 70 PS (51 kW / 69 hp).

The 2012 Rio will be unveiled on March 1st, so stay tuned for full details.

Dodge Durango Heat :Start Priced from $30,295






So you would buy this if you gave two kids up for adoption because the other three have become so obese that you need '50 cubic feet' of boot space to go grocery shopping...
That thing looks sick. We all know what they'll do, as with any concept, they will dumb it down, remove its appeal, and then mass produce it.

Dodge touts the fact that the Heat offers "50 cubic feet (1,416 liters) of more storage space behind the second row than any other five-passenger vehicle on the market." Furthermore, the cabin comes nicely equipped with Uconnect Voice Command and a 506-watt Alpine audio system with 10 speakers.
To get things moving, motivation is provided by a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 295 hp (220 kW / 299 PS) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque. Performance specifications weren't released, but the rear-wheel drive model is rated at 16 mpg city / 23 mpg highway.

On sale this spring, the Dodge Durango Heat will be priced from $30,295
