Put it in park, stupid!

Range Rover VS Fiat Panda 4×4

The mighty Range Rover Vs a Fiat Panda 4×4 sounds stupid, or does it? I’ve been willing to show you this, but I just didn’t have the time. When I saw this at Fifth Gear about a year or two ago it blew my mind. Seeing this video it all makes sense, I understand why James May bought a Fiat Panda 4×4.

Name a car that can run on a 50% sloap and with ease…check out the video below and see how a Fiat Panda 4×4 performs compared to a Range Rover:

2009 Detroit Auto Show: New Toyota Prius

This is the brand new Honda Insight Toyota Prius. Sorry sometimes I get these two confused, I’m not sure why, but I do. We all know the Toyota Prius, but what really interests us is the consumption ratio right? Well it gets a 50 mpg combined consumption ratio. It got a bigger 1.8 engine that provides you 98 polluting hp and with the hybrid system on the car has a total of 134 hp.

2009 Detroit Auto Show: Fisker Karma

Fisker Karma is the car of the moment. Everybody wants to have one, and why shouldn’t they? It’s gorgeous. Fisker really hit the jackpot with this one, they made a hybrid car that sits on 22″ alloy wheel and can hit 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds and cruise gently at 125 mph. All this with two 201 hp engines connected to some Li-ion batteries and a gasoline engine that usese it’s 260 hp to charge the batteries. That’s not bad for an electric car, Tesla eat your heart out.

2009 Detroit Auto Show: Lincoln MKS ecoboost

The Lincoln MKS gets a new V6 ecoboost engine. The first two models which got that engine were the Lincoln MKT and the Flex CUV. The twin turbo V6 gives out 355 bhp and it’s paired up with a six speed automatic transmission. I thought the reason they made the ecoboost engine was to get better power and better fuel efficiency, they got the power, but where’s the fuel efficiency?

GM + Obama= LOVE

There’s nothing wrong in showing your affection towards the president but this is ridiculous. This isn’t love, this is sucking up, and GM are really good at doing so. They scheduled a press conference and all they brought were some Saturn hybrids and a a guy and a woman holding up a board saying: “CHANGE: Thanks to you, the word is no longer a cliché. Congratulations President Obama From Saturn and a few of our friends.”

Come on people, save it after they grant you the loan.

2009 Detroit Auto Show:Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S

Try saying that 3 times really quick. This is the Quattroporte that should blow your mind or twist your tongue. Maserati said that this Maserati will be another milestone in the sport luxury sedan segment. I think this car doesn’t really have any use. It only has 8 hp more than the regular model, and those 433 hp come at 7000 rpm while the rev limiter is set at 7200 rpm.
