Audi A3 - The Perfect High End Family Car

The first generation model named A3 was launched in the European automobile market in 1966. It looked like a sporty car because of its three door hatch back body. The engine of this car was configured as Inline Four Cylinder. At the beginning of 1999, Audi launched two other models that consisted of better quality than the previous ones. One of them was 1.9 TDI Diesel Engine with variable Geometry Turbocharger and Unit Injector PD Technology. The other one was 1.8 with a power transmission of 177 bhp.

In the year 1999, for the first time Audi was forced to fulfill the demands according to market. For this reason, company made some quality and had to look out for other possibilities to make appropriate changes to its previous versions of cars. This new version included a variation of six speed manual gear-boxes with 177 bhp in 1.8L turbo engine and 129 bhp in 1.9 TDI. Some of the other facilities incorporated in the A3 series include Brake Force Distribution Computer, Transaction Control and Electronic Stability Program. The marketing of Audi A3 was stopped in Europe at the beginning of 2003, but it continued it's selling in some of the developing countries.

Insight to 2010 Audi A3

The 2010 Audi A3 will be a value addition to the strong lineup of Audi, which will retain the Typ 8PA 3.2L VR6 engine capable of churning out 247 hp of power. Initially the A3 was available only as a three door hatchback, but over time high performance versions of the A3 were rolled out.

Currently, the 2010 A3 incorporates the PQ35 platform Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), as well as 6-speed manual gearshift. It will be offered in front wheel drive and an optional all-wheel drive.

What's more, there are plenty of options in terms of features, styling and powertrain as the 2010 A3 will be offered with choice of Quattro on-demand four wheel drive, and S-Tronic semi-auto gearbox.

During the last two decades, Audi A3 has been a consistent performer, offering great reliability to its customers throughout the world.

Currently, the petrol engine will be offered in the European and Asian markets, while a diesel variant is expected to be available in UK and few other European countries; otherwise the standard gasoline version of the vehicle will be seen across the world.

The new A3 will have sufficient power for the usual needs, though definitely not too much for the speedsters and those who're crazy about extreme power and high speed maneuvering. What will be more interesting is the response that it receives from the customers in the higher segments.

Only time can tell whether the 2010 Audi A3 will be really able to live up to the expectations of its countless fans, or is it going to be another ordinary release from Audi this year that would fail to deliver just what the doctor ordered!

Toyota Goes To Extremes With RAV4 XT-R

Toyota RAV4, Europe's best-selling sport utility vehicle, goes to the extremes by introducing a variant called XT-R. Said RAV4 variant will be introduced on the first day of January next year.

Toyota RAV4 small 4x4 introduces a new trim level XT-R to boost extremes in an SUV. It is designed to perfect quality without being expensive. The new trim level is equipped with additional luxury items to boost the ergonomics and comfy feel that the vehicle offers.

RAV$ XT-R is offered with the 2.0-litre diesel and petrol engines, and in three- and five-door versions. RAV4 three-door XT-R with the 2.0-litre petrol engine is priced at £17,995. However, the XT-R equipped with stability and traction control, climate and cruise control, an electric sunroof and metallic paint will be valued up to £1500 on lower-spec cars. The diesel-powered version of the vehicle costs £1000 more compared to its petrol equivalent.

Toyota RAV4 accessories and equipment used in XT-R include dual-zone climate control, a cooled glovebox, electric sunroof, 6-disc CD autochanger, Toyota’s Integrated Active Drive system, Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), and electric heated and folding door Toyota mirrors.

RAV4 entertained a major redesign for the model year 2006. Toyota RAV4 parts accessories for said model were assembled using a new platform. The vehicle still uses the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine that is capable of generating 166 horsepower. In North America, RAV4 uses a 3.5 L V6 engine from Toyota Avalon Grande parts. Said engine produces 269 horsepower.

Compared to the previous generation of RAV4, the current version is equipped with a third row seat for two small children. This feature is available in the United States and Canada only. Options for the RAV4 include the two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive in the United States. However, in Canada and other countries, only the four-wheel version is available. In Asia and Europe, RAV4 is available in short-wheelbase while in Australia, the long- wheelbase version is offered.

2009 Toyota RAV4 Driving Impression

In four-wheel-drive trim, the 2009 Toyota RAV4 gets an impressive 26 mpg in the government's highway driving cycle. That's within reach of the 2016 mandate of 30 mpg for light trucks. But remember: that 30 mpg is an average that includes Land Cruisers, Tundras, Sequoias and more. The RAV4 will have to do a lot more than meet the 30 mpg mark, it'll have to far exceed it for the Toyota light truck fleet to make the required average. A test drive of the RAV4 V6 will confirm our suggestion.

From the driver's position, the RAV4 provides a very functionally designed instrument panel: Some makes are forcing function to follow form in this area. Also, the controls for the sound system are mounted high on the center console. This allows the driver to keep his peripheral vision on the road while turning the bass down from the "Advil needed" level set by his teenage son to one that won't kill nearby songbirds. One complaint: The clock was low, hidden by the shift lever. Since the clock is among the most-consulted instruments, this is a notable oversight. The interior materials of the RAV4 exceed almost all other compact SUV's for feel and appearance.

The second-row seats offer plenty of headroom: No need to remove that Stetson. However, the position of the seatback and feel of the seat cushion means few adults would gladly ride in the back for a long road trip. It's amazingly easy to lower the rear seatbacks to create a nearly perfectly flat cargo area. A single touch of a lever on the side of the left seat drops two-thirds of the seat to the flat position. Move around to the other side and repeat to get a completely flat floor. With the rear seats up, the Canadian-built RAV4 has adequate (but not generous) storage areas behind the seats. It boasts a pair of under-floor storage bins, great for placing items that always accompany the car (emergency kits and the like).

For those who don't read owner's manuals, the RAV4 has a confusing characteristic. While stopped, if you push the brake pedal past a certain point, the vehicle beeps and displays the stability control warning light. This seems like a malfunction until you discover the vehicle is trying to tell you the hill control function is engaged. This function prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards while the driver moves his foot from gas to brake. It also saves an ever so tiny bit of gas as the engine does not have to overcome the urge to roll backwards.

As with all Toyota and Lexus vehicles, the RAV4 comes standard with electronic stability control, a computer system that helps prevent the vehicle from spinning out or sliding straight off the road. It features six airbags, including a full-length side curtain bag. In government testing, the RAV4 received five stars (the highest rating) for driver frontal and side impacts and for rear passenger side impacts, but only four for front passenger impacts and rollover. The RAV4 earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) coveted Top Safety Pick Award.

The 2009 RAV4 is offered in three trim levels: base, the performance-oriented Sport and top-of-the-line Limited. Standard engine is a new-for-the-RAV4 2.5-liter, 179-horsepower four-cylinder. The four gets 22 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. The powertrain de resistance is the 3.5-liter, 269-hp V6. Front-wheel drive is standard and four-wheel-drive (what many would call all-wheel-drive) is optional. The RAV4 boasts very precise and confidence-inspiring steering feel. However, the combination of the RAV4's chassis and Yokohama tires produced an excessive amount of tire and road noise. Also, there was quite a bit of wind noise around the edges of the windshield.

2010 Honda Odyssey Review

The 2010 Honda Odyssey is the best upscale handling minivan around. The 2010 model is largely unchanged from the 2009 but has more advanced features and a significant styling difference. The Odyssey has had such an impact on buyers that it displaces the Dodge Grand Caravan as America's best selling Minivan and has high ratings from Kelly Blue Book and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Honda also decided to upgrade the Odyssey under the hood with cool new features. The car has a 3.5 Liter SOHC VTEC® V-6 engine with a 5 speed automatic transmission that produces 244horsepower. This engine is standard across the board, along with a Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system. However, exclusive to the EX-L and Touring versions, the car comes with Honda's Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®), which increases fuel economy.

The most impressive of the 2010 Odyssey is by far its Safety features. These key features include, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, an Anti-lock braking system, Electronic Brake Distribution, and driver's/front passenger's active head restraints. The car also has a plethora of airbag safety systems like, the dual-stage multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System, and three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensors. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tested the cars frontal and side impact crash results and in conclusion gave the car 5-star frontal and side ratings.

Newly Anticipated Model Of Grand Sport Corvette

The Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most celebrated classic cars of our time. Manufactured by General Motors, the Corvette has been around for six generations making its debut back in 1953. Obviously, living up to its name is hard to do so GM has continued to come up with newer and cooler concepts year after year.

The Grand Sport Corvette for 2010 has been highly anticipated since the release of the Corvette C6 ZR1 in 2009. This model was developed with a higher production level and it was internally called the "Blue Devil," which is a nickname of GM CEO Rick Wagoner's alma mater at Duke University. It was officially debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. This car was heavier than the previous models, included an improved motor, and came with increased tires and stronger carbon ceramic brakes.

For next year, General Motors is already concepting what the next $100,000 Corvette will entail. So far we know that it will have wider front and rear fenders, with specifically designed fenders that will include integrated Grand Sport badges. The 2010 model will still have the previous Z06-style when it comes to the front splitter and tall rear spoiler. It will also have functional brake ducts and enable extra cooling. The wheels will be increased in diameter and width, measuring 18-inches in the front with 19-inch wheels. The 2010 Corvette wheels will come with a standard paint job but one can also request for a chrome finish.

The Grand Sport of 2010 will come equipped with a customized Z06 brake system. This includes 14-inch (355 mm) front rotors with six-piston calipers and 13.4-inch (340 mm) rear rotors with four-piston calipers. The new Vette will also have specific manual transmission gear ratios for the ultimate riding abilities. It will also include a specific rear axle ration on automatic-equipped models.

The 2010 Corvette Grand Sport will be available in all factory colors. The fenders will look cooler than ever with the Traditional Grand Sport hash mark painted on and all the vents will come with Grand Sport badging. The GS ZR1 will have the revived dry-sump oil system and will be available in manual transmission only.

Ultimately, the 2009 and the 2010 Corvette officially leaves behind the GT1 class. It was originally manufactured with a mere $60,000 but now, with these cooler features in vision, it will cost GM a whopping $100,000 with each Vette. Because of the higher production cost this 2010 Grand Sport Corvette concept will not make its debut until 2012.

New Honda CR-Z Hybrid Sports Car

The Toyota Prius is such an iconic car that many people believe Toyota was the first company to come out with production hybrids. It was not. Honda was the first, but miscalculated the market and missed out on a huge opportunity. The announcement that the company will be introducing a hybrid sports car, the CR-Z, to the US market in the fall of 2010 is an effort to right that wrong.

The CR-Z is nothing less than a full frontal assault on the hybrid market in the United States. The car is a two-seater that is rumored to incorporate an integrated motor assist system that incorporates a 1.3 liter engine. The CR-Z, which stands for Compact Renaissance Zero, gets its sportiness from both the design and the fact that it is expected to be very light weight.

The initial prototype of the vehicle was shown at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show. It incorporates a longer nose with sleek, banked styling that runs to a higher end, flat rear. If I had to compare it to any other car, it looks like a revved up Honda Insight although with very distinct lines. You can look up images online from the show to see it.

The real beauty of the CR-Z is found in an area that is rarely available in a new, revolutionary sporty car. Yes, I am talking about the price. All indications are Honda is trying to bring this car in to wipe up the market. The proposed retail price is a paltry $20,000. This is the equivalent of a Prius, but with much better lines and performance. Well, at least we think better performance. Honda has released no information on just how sporty the performance will be. Still, one has to imagine it will be better than your average hybrid.

New BMW Alpina D3

BMW Alpina D3 fills the niche in between the 320d and 325d, meanwhile Alpina acquires a wider audience for their products. It is equipped with four diesel engines and a range of sporting accessories, while maintaining top-fuel economy figures.

BMW Alpina D3 is equipped with diesel engine, which is taken from the BMW 320d. Alpina engineers installed a larger turbine, more productive injector nozzle, sport exhaust system and changed electronic engine management. Consequently, the engine develops 200 horsepower and 410 Nm maximum torque at 2000 rpm.

Stock BMW Alpina D3 obtains the original design aerodynamic body kit with Alpina recognition marks, 18-inch wheel-drives (for an extra charge - 19-inch), a dual exhaust system, sports seats and steering wheel.

0-60 it does in 7.4 seconds and the maximum speed reaches 148 miles per hour. However, disconnecting the electronic stability system - both the draft and the exchange rate stabilization - BMW Alpina D3 disappoints. It is not possible to drift or make a burnout with it. Of course, it is frivolous but it should be possible. BMW Alpina D3 will be suitable for someone who wants a car with sporting equipment and the origin, but at the same time wants to drive it everyday and not to think about lap times on the race track.
