Autophobic?!

Let’s talk about the 2010 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid now that we have dived into the Jaguar in the last blog.  One thing that I am going to let you guys in on is that I am a huge – huge fan of VW.  The VW Bug is by far one of my favorite cars and now that they have switched their gears and have gone greener, I can tell you for sure that I am excited now.

The 2010 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid is by far one of the coolest cars out there right now and while it was shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show last September, now it is actually exploding onto the market.  The cool thing about the 2010 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid is that is has a super-charged V6 engine that makes around 333 horse power run through it.

You can honestly hit about 60mph in about 6.8 seconds flat and for a VW – that is actually a really good deal!

When you are looking for a brand new car – there are a lot of things to think about.  If you are looking for a new Jaguar specifically, you need to make sure that you check out the brand new 2010 Jaguar XJ.  This is not just another Jaguar that is hitting the market, this is a brand new world in cards.

Not only does the 2010 Jaguar XJ have some of the same elements as the XF but the enhancements that this particular car has on it are truly out of this world.  As you know, Jaguar is the top of the top in the way of luxury cars and I can tell you for sure that the 2010 Jaguar XJ goes right along with that motto.

The impressive nature and elegance that is packed into the brand new 2010 Jaguar XJ is absolutely breathtaking and if you want style, luxury and class – this is the car to get!

The Maruti Suzuki Concept R3 is just one of many new concepts that will be unveiled in India, during the upcoming 2010 Auto Expo. This MPV will be one of the forerunners.

Also know as the Suzuki Concept R3, it is considered a vehicle of the next generation and it was inspired by a theme of togetherness.

The leading car manufacturer in India — the country’s Maruti Suzuki India Limited — is responsible for the vehicle. Suzuki’s signature, rather aggressive design aesthetic is alive and well in this vehicle. The idea behind the MPV, which is quite compact, is to fulfill a family’s needs without making the vehicle large, bulky, and hard to handle.

The wave of the future apparently includes more compact vehicles like this, vehicles that are roomy enough to fill the needs of a family without being too awkward.

Shhh. This is a first peek at Peugeot’s new concept car, the SR1. The renderings of it have only been released pretty recently — well ahead of the date of its intended unveiling, which will take place early in 2010 at the motor show in Geneva.

What do you think? Has Peugeot hit a home run?

I am just a little torn on this.  I mean, I love the car.  It is sleek, its lines and curves are sensual, and it screams of the kind of luxury and richness I myself have come to expect from the Peugeot brand.  On the other hand, it all depends on to whom they will be marketing.

I mean, you have a veritable sports car here, one that looks like quite a few American sports cars, so you have to wonder if the average Joe (or the average Jean, considering) will be able to afford a car like this.

You know in this blog we not only report on some of the hottest cars in the world but we also report on some of the fastest cars in the world.  Well, the brand new Aston Martin One-77 is by far the fastest car in the world right now.  While the Jaguar XJ220 has topped the speed at about 217 mph, the Aston Martin One-77 has surpassed that.

The Aston Martin One-77 is not only one of the fastest cars in the world but I can also tell you that this little car is certainly stylish as well.  While it might top out at about 220 mph, I can tell you that the style that you will be reeking of from the Aston Martin One-77 will be priceless.

So if you are rich – and looking for a brand new ride, the Aston Martin One-77 is the car for you!

Finally, GM has fulfilled their promise and they have issues a very brief press release that they will be delivering on their promise to repay the government back to bailing them out.  They also have released that Canada will be next and by the end of the year, both countries will be completely paid off.

GM actually sent $1 billion dollars to the feds and about $192 million dollars to the Canadian government just last week and the rest of the payments will be made by the end of the year – the total?  About $6.7 billion dollars.

However, beyond all of that money, GM actually owes the government about 60% ownership as well.

This girl is BALLIN’ yo! Can you imagine any female poker player with her skill and success driving a Lamborghini Gallardo? You can’t, basicly because there’s not too many female poker players as good as Vanessa Rousso…

I hope I meet her one day in Las Vegas – I’m so asking if she can take me for a ride!

Now that we have talked about just how bad Chrysler is actually doing, let’s go ahead and talk about some of the things that you can take advantage of as a buyer. 

Well, I can tell you that you can actually get 0% financing right now on most models as well as $1,000 to $1,500 cash back as an incentive to buy.  This is honestly available on many, many different models out there.

Another thing that they are offering up right now is lease incentives of $500 – $1,000 on minivan leases and financing deals on any 2008 Dodge Vipers – which is pretty cool huh?  Who cares if the car is two years old!

Oh Chrysler, how good you used to be.  Do you all remember when Chrysler was actually on top and they were doing incredible?  Well, now it is a buyers market and if you are in the market for a brand new car, you might want to stop into a Chrysler dealership – if you can find one mind you.

They are actually cranking up their incentives before the holiday.  The reason?  The sales are down about 38% over last year.  That is something to be scared of when the year is almost over and there is really no way that you can recover from something like that.

Basically – it’s a good chance for you to get the car of your dreams, as long as you get a Chrysler though!  More in the next blog about the incentives.

Mark the day, folks, because this is one of the first official pictures of the brand spanking new, ultra hot, uber sexy Volvo S60 sedan. The car will be officially unveiled in March of 2010, at the motor show in Geneva.

Reviewers are by and large in agreement that this may well be the most dynamic Volvo ever designed, not to mention the sportiest — and that is a lot to live up to, because there have been a whole lot of Volvos, and in my not so humble opinion, the greater majority of them have been utterly hot.

However, I tend to agree about the S60. Another plus is that it has a veritable tone of technologically advanced safety features.

One such feature is the option of Pedestrian Detection, which is pretty self explanatory: the safety feature can detect the presence of any pedestrians and brake accordingly.
