AUTO MODIFIED 2011

The most powerful Grand Cherokee, which you can spot in Bulgaria was finished in … Bulgaria. Surprised, ah? And if the turbo was made by the Californians from Vorteh, perfectly installed by the tuners of Overdive, the interior of this flying off-road coach is a pure Bulgarian job. And it smells like a LOT (and) expensive leather.

There are good things to be considered also in the 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is very spacious at the back and offers plenty of room, a plus that makes it a great road trip vehicle. Thinking about storage room no one can deny that it is awesome too, and this once again confirms the statement that this is a road trip machine. What is more, I have a killer sound system in the SUV. It was actually decked out by the previous owner who just left it in the car. This sound system not only delivers great bass, but also keeps unbelievably crisp hi-fi sound in the treble scale. Even having that, though, is not at all enough to compensate for the faults it has, and hen I think about t eventually all the money I saved by getting it cheap will soon be wasted for repairs of the shocks, engine, etc. or even only for gas to get it going

JEEP Grand Cherokee is
The most powerful

Roaring noises, are one of the most common sounds a Jeep Grand Cherokee makes from the rear end. As I mentioned before, if roaring noises are heard this should be addressed as soon as possible. Typically around 45 MPH is when sounds will start coming from the rear end. If roaring is heard at all speeds or at parking lot speeds, the problem has progressed. Roaring noises are from worn and pitted bearings.

That engine/transmission combination is good for 39.8 MPG (US) in the European cycle (expect a combined MPG figure in the mid 30s when it gets run through the EPA) and will hit 60 MPH from rest in 9.9 seconds, continuing on to a top speed of 120 MPH.



Second to the styling, the best thing about the Fiesta's is the way it drives. Automakers generally soften their cars' suspensions for the US market, but I'm hoping Ford will leave the Fiesta alone -- it's a great little handler, lots of fun to drive, and the ride is comfortable enough for American tastes. The Fiesta I drove had a 118 horsepower 1.6 liter engine with a 5-speed stick, which was pleasantly zippy, albeit a bit noisy and coarse. Hopefully Ford can certify this engine for US emissions rather than substituting something else.

New Fors Fiesta
Feel The difference

American sales of the Mexican-made Fiesta are scheduled to start early next year as a 2011 model and will be identically spec'ed to this one, complete with the 1.6-liter, 118 HP engine and European-tuned suspension. We'll even get the five-speed manual transmission.

Inside, it's hard to believe this is a Ford -- the design is refreshingly unique and the materials are several grades nicer than what you'll find in a Focus or a Fusion. The front seats feel a little narrow -- Europeans don't eat like we do -- and while a 6'5" colleague raved about the head and legroom, something about the Fiesta felt a little claustrophobic to me. The back seat is comfy and has lots of headroom (tight on legroom, though) and the cargo bay is smartly shaped, though a bit small.

2011 The Ford Fiesta
will change that

We don't know yet if it's technically feasible (and economically viable), but Suzuki's recent tie up with Volkswagen could see the Kizashi sedan being offered with a much-needed in Europe, diesel engine sourced from the German Group.

In southwestern Ohio, the brand has only three stores for Cincinnati and Dayton. The Suzuki store in Dayton, Ohio acquired the franchise in 2007, and invested $250,000 in improvements but only sold four or five new Suzukis a month. The Suzuki store will be used as a certified used cars dealership.

This is hoped to offer a better chance to retail outlets better profits due to increased sales per store. Sales in U.S. dropped over the last four years from 100,000 in 2006 to less than 40,000 in 2009 and continue to drop in 2010.

Another International Brand that created waves in the Indian Automobile Industry is Lamborghini which is an Italian manufacturer in sports cars. It was owned by Ferruccio Lamborghini, a businessman in 1963.Their models are generally two seated cars equipped with luxurious exteriors and interiors, powerful engine and mind-blowing speed that cater to mainly high-end buyers in India. It has available in India with models like Gallardo Spyder (convertible), Gallardo (coupe), Superleggera (coupe) and Murcielago (both coupe and convertible).

The automobile comes standard with a four speed manual transmission, but a four speed automatic transmission can be purchased as an upgrade. Because of the weak engine, the vehicle has excellent fuel efficiency for a non-hybrid car. The car with a manual transmission achieves 27 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. The vehicle with an automatic transmission gets 25 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway.

Due to its very affordable price, the Chevy Aveo is one of the best selling small cars each year. Like most small affordable cars, the vehicle is not equipped with a powerful engine. The automobile comes with a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine which produces only 103 horsepower and 107 pound-feet of torque. While the car does not produce too much horsepower, consumer reviews mostly say the Aveo does well with the power it has.

Inside are all the accommodations one would expect for high-powered Korean businessmen: leather, rear entertainment system, power window shades, little pseudo-iDrive knobs front and back, table trays in the rear, kimchi bar — the works. If interest in the car is high enough, we might be seeing the next Asian luxury import that'll never compete with established luxe brands like Lexus.

All engines will use an electronically-controlled 8-speed automatic transmission that can be manually shifted.The Equus, like the Genesis, is not yet offered in all-wheel-drive. If it hopes to compete for BMW and Lexus buyers, that may be a deficiency Hyundai needs to address.

While that's all well and good, it's inside the cabin where the Equus shows that it's truly meant to do battle against the likes of the Mercedes S-Class, Lexus LS and BMW 7 Series. All the toys are present: push-button start, a console-mounted control interface for the in-car systems, classy wood accents, upmarket switchgear, and even Grey Poupon snack trays for the rear passengers. Oh, those rear passengers get massaging back seats, as well. It's very impressive looking and it stinks of quality. If Hyundai ever decides to gamble and attack the next price segment up from the Genesis sedan, they clearly have the ammo to do so. The Equus is the real deal.

Currently, there aren't plans to bring the executive-level Hyundai Equus super-sedan to the US, but Hyundai trotted one out to the New York Auto Show to judge the reaction to a $100K Korean car.

If you think the Genesis sedan is nice, wait'll you get a load of Hyundai's home-market luxu-flagship, the Equus. The automaker has one prominently on display here at the New York Auto Show this week, and while it's supposed to merely be a "Look, this is how awesome we can be" thing (there's no plan for the Equus to be sold here at this time), you can bet Hyundai is taking note of people's reactions. Outside, the Equus is more ornate than the Genesis, with a bright grille, highly-polished wheels and a pedestrian-impaling hood ornament. The sheetmetal details are nice, too. We especially dig the subtle fender bulges over the rear wheels.

Give a test ride in the used Volkswagen Passat car and find out if the drive is smooth enough, and if you are comfortable with it.While buying used Volkswagen Passat car, don't forget to bargain. When the car isn't brand new, you always have the advantage of convincing the seller for a better price. Do that.

But anyways generally, you can a close look at the engine of the used Volkswagen Passat, which is the heart of the car. Check for any signs of rust or damage to the engine, and if there is so, notify the seller regarding the same. Also get to know the real distance the vehicle might have run. The vehicle goes on deteriorating after a certain distance of travel. Thus its a good idea to get a professional idea on the distance travelled by the used car.

Significantly redesigned for the 2010 model year, the Chevy Equinox is powered by a 2.4-liter DURATEC four cylinder engine. This efficient, yet robust engine allows the Equinox to get 22 mpg around town and 32 mpg on the highway; the latter figure is one mpg better than what the Ford Escape Hybrid delivers. Optionally, buyers can choose a 3.0-liter V6, but the 182 horsepower four cylinder model may be sufficient for most needs.

To begin with, it offers a choice of two new direct-injected, variable-valve-timing engines, a standard 2.4-liter four and an optional 3.0-liter V-6, both happily married to six-speed automatic transmissions. The latter offers 264 horses and 18 mpg city and 25 highway EPA economy. The former pumps out 182 ponies and trumps the class at 22 mpg city, 32 highway. According to Chevy, that translates to a potential highway driving range of as much as 600 miles with the four and more than 500 with the six. Four-cylinder models with available all-wheel drive are rated somewhat lower at 20 mpg city, 29 highway, but there's a selectable "Eco" mode that adjusts the transmission's shift points to optimize economy.
