The Best 2011 Alpina B7 BMW — It’s Still Around!

Heather — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 20:11:44 +0000

BMW has stated many, many times that they have absolutely no plans in the future on making an official M version of the current F01 7 Series. While that might still hold true, they are going to be making something better and it is the brand new 2011 Alpina B7 BMW.

This particular car is something that is not only awesome but at the Chicago Auto Show next month, they are going to be bringing back the 2011 Alpina B7 BMW for showing. It has a sweet 4.4 liter twin turbocharged V8 under the hood, this little bugger produces right around 400 HP, which for a car it’s class, that is pretty good.

If you are looking for power and luxury in one car, the 2011 Alpina B7 BMW is going to be it next year!

Lincoln Concept C — It Is Pulling Through!

Heather — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:03:54 +0000

Okay guys – it has to be said that I have not seen a Lincoln yet that I like. Lincoln is just a brand that I do not really think about but when I saw that Lincoln Concept C debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, I fell in love. This is a car that looks so futuristic and different; it truly is one of the most unique cars on the market.

If you are looking to stand out, the Lincoln Concept C is it. While right now, it is just a concept, the concept, from the negotiations that are taking place right now seems to be pulling through rather quickly. Mass markets hopefully will be able to get the Lincoln Concept C in 2012 – hopefully!

I’ll be on the lookout for the Lincoln Concept C and let you know if I get anymore updates at all!

2011 Lotus Elise — Breathtakingly Beautiful!

Heather — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:18:08 +0000

Okay guys – so this is one car that I could not resist putting up just because of how beautiful it is. The brand new 2011 Lotus Elise is one car that I think that everyone should just fall all over. Not only does the front look absolutely incredible but the back of the 2011 Lotus Elise is also something that I love.

However … one thing that you should know about the 2011 Lotus Elise is that it will actually not be available in North America. You heard me right, if you want to get the 2011 Lotus Elise you will have to import it – or maybe buy it and bring it back that way.

Overseas is lucky huh? Sorry people in the states, you are just going to have to suffer without the 2011 Lotus Elise next year.

Volkswagen Amarok Single-Cab — Breathtaking!

Heather — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:58:41 +0000

Can we just have a talk about VW for a minute here? Now, they are known for their bug and the Jetta but what VW is not known for is their pick-up trucks and now … now they are putting the small pick-up trucks on the market and on the map even with the Volkswagen Amarok! This particular truck is one that even I would buy!

Not only is it just a little lightweight but look at the picture – come one, it looks absolutely beautiful and menacing all at the same time. The horsepower is about 163, which is not the best in the world but it is not the worst either.

If you want just a small pick-up truck just to get around, the Volkswagen Amarok is definitely the best choice for you!

Why We Need More Concept Cars: 2

Heather — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:09:52 +0000

Now that we have talked about exactly what happens if you do have concept cars and why we have them, let’s talk about what would happen if we did not have any concept cars. Firstly – the world as we know it with cars would not be nearly as interesting as it is right now.

The design of the cars and trucks that are coming out in concept form not only develop on their way to production but they lead into some of the best features. Many cars would not be equipped with all of the things that they have now if a concept was not built.

That is the reason why concept cars are so, so important and why we need them and why they are shown constantly at auto shows – like the Detroit Auto Show!

Why We Need More Concept Cars: 1

Heather — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:05:00 +0000

While most people think that a lot of the concept cars out right now are stupid and they are probably wondering why we need concept cars in the first place. Well – that is what I am here to explain to you so that way you understand exactly why we need concept cars and why we need more of them.

One reason why we need concept cars is because without them – all of the cars and trucks would look exactly the same and do we really want that? Also, there would be no ideas at all to breed and that is where all of the new features come through.

In the next blog, we will talk about what would happen if we did not have any concept cars!

The GMC Granite — It’s The Best Concept!

Heather — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:30:44 +0000

When it comes to cars – how do all cars get started? Well, they all start out as a concept and that is exactly what the GMC Granite is. This particular car is actually awesome looking and is definitely one car that I am checking out in more detail. At the North American Auto Show that happened in Detroit just a few short weeks ago – the GMC Granite was the highlight of it.

Not only was this hatchback a highlight, but it was designed beautifully and with so many different features that it truly makes it feel like it was designed exactly for you. Take the flip back seat and the flip front passenger seat – these can all be flipped down so that you have more room.

You can actually carry a full mountain-sized bike inside of it, which to me … is pretty damn awesome!

Peugeot SR1 Concept: Come See It!

Heather — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:23:15 +0000

When it comes to concept cars, we all know who is in the lead for making some of the best concepts in the world and that is the French automakers, Peugeot. This particular automaker has been around for quite some time now and constantly, they are surprising me with the latest and greatest concept that they have come up with.

Unlike other SR1 concepts that this particular brand was coming up with, the brand new Peugeot SR1 New concept is honestly beautiful and not hallmarked by the quirky little love it or hate it styling that Peugeot usually goes for.

This car is practical and certainly something that anyone would want to invest in – which is rare in all its forms.

Audi Metroproject Quattro Concept: It’s A Concept!

Heather — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:30:43 +0000

We all know that Audi is an automaker that we can not only trust but one that we have grown to love … now, Audi is actually partnering with Quattro and I have to say that this is a fantastic combination. The brand new Audi Metroproject Quattro Concept is actually a concept car that is in the works right now and it is definitely a car that I am looking forward to.

The Audi Metroproject Quattro Concept will reportedly only be available with about one gearbox, but it is a seven speed S-Tronic automatic transmission. This car is going to be by far one of the best in the world … and I speak from experience!

So if you are in the market for an Audi minicar … this concept car is certainly going to turn your wheels!

Superformance MKIII R Cobra: Come See It!

Heather — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:04:16 +0000

It has to be said that the Superformance MKIII R Cobra is by far one of the prettiest cars that I have ever seen … while I might not have driven this particular car, the overall look of it is beautiful. To be honest, I think that the Superformance MKIII R Cobra is certainly a mid-life crisis car, however … it drives beautifully.

While most people dispute the fact that this car is a sports car at all just because of the way it handles the curves and such, I have to tell you that the Superformance MKIII R Cobra is a car that I would consider not only a sports car but also a car that I want!

The modern look and feel of the Superformance MKIII R Cobra is definitely different and certainly appealing … did I mention that I want this car?
