Want to be “King of the Road?” You can’t do that if you don’t have the right mechanism. Curious what this mechanism is? It’s the 2010 Range Rover! It’s big, bad, and so much better than before!

This latest edition boasts superior performance but, with less fuel usage! Amazing, won’t you agree? Though it’s big, it’s not a fuel guzzler. Its 5.8-liter supercharged V8 petrol engine generates 510bhp and 461lb-ft. of torque.

However, unlike previous models, the 2010 Range Rover has improved fuel consumption by up to 7.3%. If you compare it with its predecessor you’ll notice the big improvement in power. But, despite that, the fuel economy is also noticeably higher. If you get this latest Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) by Land Rover, for sure you won’t regret your choice if you want long-term fuel savings.

On top of that, the 2010 Range Rover also exudes aggressiveness that will make other vehicles take to the side of the road. Some of the superb exterior features include a redesigned grille, new wing vents, and modified tail lamps. This luxury SUV is also filled with new technologies like the simplified switchgear, Thin Film Transistor screen, five external camera lenses, and high-beam assist technology.

Better performance, improved fuel economy, less harmful emissions, and a more aggressive stance, what more could you want? It’s all in the 2010 Range Rover!

The Frankfurt Auto Show is presently underway. I happened to be keeping track of the new cars presented there and I found one that you just have to see! It’s a very cute concept car! And I mean that literally. The Peugeot BB1 is a rare breed of a scooter and a car. Its maker even says that. “Its mother is a scooter and its father is a car.” Well, that’s really one way of putting it. This 2.5-meter long concept car displays its unusual characteristics in the form of the scooter-like handlebars and twist throttle. Due to this design, the Peugeot BB1 can seat up to 4 people.

This uber cute vehicle is constructed on a tube-framed chassis. Its body is made of carbon-fiber, so don’t wonder why it’s lightweight. At 600kg it’s so light compared to other standard vehicles. This 2-door car is also dominated by see-through glass, starting from the vertical windscreen that extends continuously up to the roof. And if you take a look at its profile, you can’t help but notice its unusual stance. The forward-leaning design makes it look like it’s always raring to go on adventures! I love it!

Peugeot basically designed the BB1 for city use. It’s an electric car with two electric motors inside it that can produce up to 20kW and 640Nm. Top speed for this baby is 90km/h.

Some will not consider the Peugeot BB1 as practical, but well, its cuteness more than makes up for it!

The ongoing recession isn’t going to stop Bentley Motors Ltd. from developing more luxurious vehicles to add to its line-up. We have proof of that fact as yesterday the auto maker unveiled its new brand carrier Mulsanne pronounced as mull-sahn. Maybe it really is that luxurious because it comes with an insane price tag — almost $300,000! The unveiling was done at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

At this time, Bentley hasn’t revealed much of the specifications regarding the Mulsanne. But the company did say that it will be available in the mid-part of 2010. But based on the pictures released, Bentley’s new Mulsanne has huge round headlamps with smaller auxiliary lights beside them. The huge grille looks very capable of drawing cool air for keeping the engine temperature even. The body is also filled with chrome detailing that adds to its appeal. The exterior look and design of the Mulsanne is impressive. We just hope the interior will be faultless as well.

Have you checked out the latest with Nissan? This auto maker has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s first most affordable and zero-emission EV or Electric Vehicle. But, let’s face it, electric vehicles are already a number in the automotive market. So, what will make the upcoming Nissan Leaf better than the rest? For one thing, it has a streamlined and aerodynamic exterior. You won’t see a bad angle from the outside no matter how hard you look. See the headlights? The look awesome in their sharply slanting form and if you face the car, you’ll think it’s smiling at your with its small grille.

This hatchback has a very spacious interior, complete with creature comforts to make every drive an enjoyable one. When it comes out of production, the Leaf will have GPS system for driver support, information and entertainment. It will also provide data about the locations where the driver can recharge. Through it, an email can be sent to the driver notifying him about his car’s condition whether it’s already finished charging or what. Wow, talk about sophisticated!

Nissan’s statement about zero-emissions holds true since the Leaf doesn’t have an internal combustion engine or a tail pipe. According to Nissan, this car is fit for everyday use because it can travel up to 160 kilometers on a single charge of its lithium-ion batteries. It can also produce a max speed of 140 km/h.

Now you know what makes the Nissan Leaf different from the rest of the electronic vehicles of today.

We all know the various developments happening in the automotive industry today. We’ve heard about hybrids, hydrogen cars, and a lot more. But wait! Here’s something that’s totally new... a car that runs on chocolate with various vegetables making up its body! This is totally amazing and another first for the world. Called the WorldFirst Formula 3, this cute racing car was developed by British researchers at Warwick University.

And you’d be wrong if you think this car won’t get anywhere. It can still generate an amazing 125mph when driven.

The team that developed Formula 3 hopes to raise awareness in the automotive industry that there are great possibilities in using sustainable technologies.

A car made of vegetables and runs on chocolates... awesome! I’m really impressed by this new “green” car. How about you?

The financial crisis isn’t over by a long shot. General Motors is really feeling the strain now maybe that’s the reason why it closed down the Pontiac brand. Yup, sad though it is, it’s time to bid Pontiac goodbye. Even if you are so fond of the brand there is really no other way but to accept the harsh fact.

Maybe the modern generation can’t feel the impact of this brand’s passing. Only the older generation, those who grew up riding in the backseat of its GTOs, Bonnevilles, and Firebirds can really relate to the loss.

There won’t be any Pontiac around by the end of 2010 according to GM. So, if you love your Pontiac cherish it now for there won’t be another one like it soon.

Wouldn’t you just love to take a drive in the 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI? The first thing I can say bout this car is a big WOW! It’s awesome. Every contour just shows excellent workmanship. The huge grille at the front, flanked by LED lights integrated in the slanting headlights. All its lights use LED lights for longer use.

Performance is admirable in this new vehicle. The 5.2-liter FSI V10 within the carbon-look magnesium mount located in a lighted glass case behind the driver’s head produces 518 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. This engine is matched with an R tronic six-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission. With these features combined, the 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI can take you to your destination in just a matter of minutes.

The 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI is definitely making waves right now. If my feeling is right, this could even be a threat to some Lamborghini and Porsche models.
