			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> <em>New Audi A1</em></span> car is created on the platform of the Volkswagen PQ-25 (produced Polo V and the new Ibiza). The expressive front and rear svetobloks as well as special color front and rear body pillar do this car individual (offered as an option). In general, the new model looks interesting and attractive. Technology is almost entirely on the Polo. Powertrains are 1.2-liter 8-klapannikom TFSI gasoline. The engine works with direct fuel injection, turbocharged and intercooled charge air. Engine capacity &#8211; 1197 &#8220;cubes&#8221;. With a compression ratio 10 Max Power &#8211; 86 hp at a low 4,800 min-1, the highest torque &#8211; 160 Nm. Not much, but TFSI great potential, and depending on the settings it can develop strength 100-110. Easily. There is also a 1.39-liter 16-valve TFSI, which delivers up to 122 hp and 200 Nm of torque, and that another engine is fitted with a start-stop, which suppresses it at every opportunity (the engine &#8220;strangled&#8221;).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-298" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/09/21/new-audi-a1/audi_a1_img1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-298" title="New Audi A1 Sportback" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Audi_A1_img1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also for this model <strong>Audi A1</strong> proposes a new 1.6-liter turbodiesel TDI with an electronically regulated fuel injection system common rail. For A1 to configure the 105 forces the maximum power; there are still reserves. Motors joined with a 5-speed manual transmission &#8211; except 1.39-liter TFSI, which comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox. A good supplement for gasoline 16-klapannik completed a 7-speed &#8220;robotized» DSG. A powerful combination. What about wheel-drive Audi A1 quattro may appear later &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a rel="attachment wp-att-308" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/09/21/new-audi-a1/audi_a1_img3-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-308" title="Audi A1 motor (engine)" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Audi_A1_img32.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Chassis <strong>Audi A1</strong> generally borrowed from Polo: Stand McPherson, behind &#8211; the levers. Coil springs, sway. Tires at A1 size from 185/60 R15 in the most modest performance to 205/55 R15 with engines more powerful. Brakes &#8220;in a circle.&#8221; Disc; ABS and ESP! Audi A1 &#8211; Class &#8220;premium&#8221;.<br />
The length of the compact <strong>Audi A1</strong> - 3954 mm Width &#8211; 1740 Height &#8211; 1416. Wheelbase &#8211; 2469 mm gauge &#8211; 1477/1471 mm. Wet weight 3-door &#8220;hatchback with 1.2-liter TFSI &#8211; from 1115 kg. Accordingly, the dynamics: Audi A1 with a small 8-klapannikom and 5-speed Audi A1 handle box can accelerate from standstill to 100 km / h in 11.7 seconds. Not impressed? Maximum speed &#8211; 180 km / h, average fuel consumption &#8211; 5,1 l per 100 km. Audi A1 turbodiesel engine burns less than 4 liters of heavy fuel oil to &#8220;hundreds&#8221; of run.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">The new QX become even bigger and retained frame construction, although the stiffness increased by 30%. No significant change was left wheel-drive transmission and All-Mode <strong>4WD</strong> &#8211; to plug an electronically operated clutch on the front-wheel drive, which lowers the transmission, but without mechanical locking differentials.<a rel="attachment wp-att-256" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/08/14/2011-infiniti-qx56-all-included/infiniti_qx56_1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-256" title="Infiniti_QX56_1" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Infiniti_QX56_1.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="353" /></a><img class="aligncenter" title="Infiniti_QX56_2" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Infiniti_QX56_2.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="329" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The main technical innovations — <strong>405 Hp</strong> engine <strong>V8 5.6</strong> with direct injection of fuel and system of change of height of lifting of valves, and also a seven-step automatic transmission.<span id="more-255"></span><a rel="attachment wp-att-258" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/08/14/2011-infiniti-qx56-all-included/infiniti_qx56_3/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-258" title="Infiniti_QX56_3" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Infiniti_QX56_3.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="354" /></a>Chassis highlight — absence of antiroll bars, their functions carry out the active hydrocylinders of system Hydraulic Body Motion Control built in absorbers.<a rel="attachment wp-att-259" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/08/14/2011-infiniti-qx56-all-included/infiniti_qx56_4/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-259" title="Infiniti_QX56_4" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Infiniti_QX56_4.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="303" /></a><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong></strong><strong>2011</strong> QX56 — a seven-seater off-road car, but for three the person in it is calculated only a sofa of the third row which by means of the servo mechanism can be combined level with a trunk floor, and in the second to a number — only two armchairs and &#8220;island&#8221; of the massive central extension housing between them. The version with a usual sofa if will be accessible, later.<a rel="attachment wp-att-260" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/08/14/2011-infiniti-qx56-all-included/infiniti_qx56_5/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-260" title="Infiniti_QX56_5" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Infiniti_QX56_5.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="376" /></a><a rel="attachment wp-att-261" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/08/14/2011-infiniti-qx56-all-included/infiniti_qx56_6/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-261" title="Infiniti_QX56_6" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Infiniti_QX56_6.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>New <strong>QX</strong> unlike the predecessor is issued not in America, and in Japan — in this connection the car cost price has increased approximately by <span style="text-decoration: underline;">15 %</span>. Approximately on the cost price — <strong></strong><strong>2011</strong> QX56 has as much grown also.<a rel="attachment wp-att-262" href="http://autoreview2009.com/2010/08/14/2011-infiniti-qx56-all-included/infiniti_qx56_7/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-262" title="Infiniti_QX56_7" src="http://autoreview2009.com/domains/autoreview2009.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Infiniti_QX56_7.jpg" alt="" width="530" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>The choice of options and complete sets is not present — giant <strong>Infiniti</strong> will be on sale in unique — maximum — complete sets. Leather interior, четырехзонный the climate control, the Russified navigation, multimedia system with 10-gigabajtnym a hard disk and two seven-inch monitors in headrests of front armchairs, wheels dimension 275/50R22.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">At 2009 Auto Show  in Los Angeles, Ford is getting a considerable attention for its excellent  Mustang. Quietly sharing the Mustang’s stage are two new hybrids – the midsize  sedan segment. Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan Hybrids employ Ford’s hybrid  system, providing electric driving up to 47 miles per hour – has surpassed twice  the speed of most competitors. The driver is helped by screens LCD, SmartGauge  established on 2 models trace electric power savings. Ford applies for that that  both cars of middle class will be the most effective in America! As it is  possible to note such models as: Audi Q5, Audi Q7 TDI, MAZDA 3 Sedan, Volkswagen  Touareg V6 TDI, Porsche Cayman and Boxster and Lexus RX 350, Lexus RX 450h  Hybrid, Ford Mustang, BMW 7 Series… </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">With </span><a href="../buying_guide/dodge" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Dodge</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> having  introduced its new </span><a href="../buying_guide/dodge/challenger" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Challenger</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> last spring and </span><a href="../buying_guide/chevrolet" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Chevy</span></a><span style="color: #333333;">’s new </span><a href="../reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/corvette_camaro_corner/2010_chevrolet_camaro_v_6_first_drive_review" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Camaro</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> about to go on sale, </span><a href="../buying_guide/ford" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Ford</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> could hardly  stand pat with its current </span><a href="../buying_guide/ford/mustang" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Mustang</span></a><span style="color: #333333;">, which is  now four years old. That’s why Henry’s company introduced this new 2010 version  of its venerable </span><a href="../reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/mustang_shelby_central" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">pony car</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> at the </span><a href="../news/auto_shows/2008_los_angeles_auto_show_l_a_auto_show_auto_shows" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Los Angeles auto show</span></a><span style="color: #333333;">.<span id="more-220"></span></span></div>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The keen observer will notice a close  resemblance to the current model in size, profile, and overall shape. In fact,  the 2010 Mustang is not an all-new model, but rather a heavily revised version  of the current car, with changes concentrated in the areas that called for the  most improvement.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The new version uses the roof and A-pillars from  the old one. But the front and rear of the pony car are now slightly tapered,  and the fender flares have been toned down. Three-segment taillights with  sequential turn-signal operation look trick and recall Thunderbirds and </span><a href="../buying_guide/mercury" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Mercury</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> Cougars of the Sixties. A more muscular appearance comes  from a power dome on the hood, small haunches over the rear wheels, and more  aggressive front and rear fascias. At the same time, the new model, though  dimensionally unchanged, appears to be smaller than the current car—which is not  a bad thing in today’s pricey fuel climate.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The interior is where Ford invested its greatest  effort. A new dashboard made from one giant soft-plastic molding looks and feels  much richer than the several hard pieces it replaces. The metallic trim is real  aluminum and different in texture on the V-6 and V-8 models. In fact, the shift  knob and everything else that looks like aluminum is indeed the genuine metal. A  reconfigured console should be softer on your knees when bracing them during  hard driving, the optional leather seats show off beautiful stitching, and a  navigation system with an eight-inch screen, reverse camera, and Sync 2.0 is  optional.<!--more--></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Mechanically, there are no major changes (at  least not yet; more powerful engines are supposedly on their way for 2011), but  the new GT is an evolution of the current generation’s </span><a href="../reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/mustang_shelby_central/2008_ford_mustang_bullitt_car_news" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">Bullitt</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> model, which it allegedly outperforms. Small changes to  the GT’s powertrain include a cold air intake, a 250-rpm bump to the V-8’s  redline, and 3.5-inch exhaust tips out back. The Bullitt connection means 315  horsepower from the 4.6-liter three-valve V-8, and reworked suspension  calibrations optimized for standard 18-inch and optional 19-inch tires. A new  stability control system has also been implemented; it includes an intermediate  “Track” setting in addition to full on and off operation. Spread across two  optional performance packages are high-grip summer tires, track-ready brake  pads, </span><a href="../buying_guide/ford/mustang/2009_ford_mustang_shelby_gt500_coupe" target="_self"><span style="color: #333333;">GT500</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> anti-roll bars and rear lower control arms, and a  shorter 3.73:1 axle ratio.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The V-6 model also gets an uprated suspension  with tires that are an inch larger, though the V-6 output remains a flaccid 210  hp. The new bodywork reduced the drag coefficient on both versions by four to  seven percent. Ford claims that improvements in window and door seals have  reduced wind noise as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Both coupe and convertible models go on sale  this spring, and prices should not rise much over those of the current models.  That should help this upgraded Mustang compete with its all-new  competitors.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, we will talk about a novelty from <em>Subaru</em>? For many the  company decision, namely design <strong>Subaru Legacy</strong> became a bolt  from the blue. For someone it very much even modern and claims for solidity  became even more, but for someone a bolt from the blue in a negative direction.  So we will look that have prepared for us made magnificent company Subaru.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205" title="subaru_legacy2" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy2.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy2" width="650" height="434" /></p>
<p>On a motor show in Detroit the official premiere of concept car <strong>Subaru  Legacy Concept</strong> has taken place is a pre-series prototype of the sedan  of following generation with the same name. On assurances of developers, by  means of this car they have tried to show approximate shape of the future serial  novelty which will appear in the market not earlier than 2010. The car strikes  on the spot: changes appreciable, however depressing, personally my opinion.  Where it – laconic, but the tightened Japanese sports sedan? What for have  cleaned on – Asian collective headlights? In exchange to us a distance the  hypertrophied front optics, the sides which have swum away by fat and arches in  which roll крупненькие 17 and 18 inch wheels.<span id="more-204"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-206" title="subaru_legacy151" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy151.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy151" width="650" height="434" /></p>
<p>The sedan constructed on a new platform was really distributed. At length, for  example, it has added 35 mm (4735), and at width (1821) and height (1506) – 91  and 81 mm accordingly. But that is especially important, the wheelbase – at once  on 81 mm (to 2751) was extended.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-207" title="subaru_legacy5" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy5.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy5" width="650" height="434" /></p>
<p>The sedan made on a new platform have supplied with the modernised suspenders.  Now at <strong>Legacy</strong> racks McPherson will be only in front, and behind  instead of them Japanese have put a two-lever design.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-208" title="subaru_legacy12" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy12.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy12" width="650" height="434" /></p>
<p>Six pillows of safety, musical installation enter into base equipment  <strong>Legacy</strong> with support of format MP3, cruise-control, a leather  upholstery of seats, musical complex Harman Kardon with the eight-inch display  on the central extension housing, a rear-view camera.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-209" title="subaru_legacy4" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy4.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy4" width="650" height="290" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-210" title="subaru_legacy11" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy11.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy11" width="650" height="488" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-211" title="subaru_legacy6" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy6.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy6" width="650" height="434" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-212" title="subaru_legacy10" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy10.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy10" width="650" height="434" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-213" title="subaru_legacy3" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy3.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy3" width="650" height="434" /></p>
<p>And motors at Legacy are more solid now. Two of three engines have got to young  generation in the inheritance from the old. Atmospheric “<strong>boxer</strong>”  2.5 changes has not undergone: the same 170 horsepowers and a twisting moment  230 njuton-metres. But now together with the younger brother can work not only a  6-speed manual transmission, but also variator Lineartronic with six fixed  drives. The second power unit has passed from model of present generation. It is  a turbo “<strong>boxer</strong>“, the engine in volume of 2,5 litres. But  henceforth at version <strong>Legacy 2.5 GT</strong> at the disposal of 265  horsepower and 350 njuton-metres instead of 243 and 326 accordingly. To choose a  gear box it is impossible: only a 6-speed manual transmission. And here the  three-litre atmospheric engine with 245 forces and 290 any more will not be. Its  place the engine from crossover <strong>Subaru Tribeca</strong> -  6-<span>cylinder</span> “<strong>boxer</strong>” has occupied the  engine, with volume 3.6 litres, giving out 258 horsepowers and 335  njuton-metres. Unfortunately, the five-speed transmission former, has changed  only the steering program. By tradition of company Subaru the type of all-wheel  drive transmission still depends on transmission. On mechanical transmission – a  constant all wheel drive which divides the moment between shafts 50/50, and on  an automatic transmission – the electromagnetic clutch distributing pull-rod  depending on traffic conditions.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-214" title="subaru_legacy14" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy14.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy14" width="650" height="434" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-215" title="subaru_legacy8" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy8.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy8" width="650" height="434" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-216" title="subaru_legacy7" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/subaru_legacy7.jpg" alt="subaru_legacy7" width="650" height="436" /></p>
<p>The competitive power units, the raised body stiffness on torsion and the  interior which has become to more spacious, the recustomized suspender, an all  wheel drive at each model, convincing dynamics (<strong>Subaru Legacy  GT</strong> 100 km/h speed up) – worthy arguments in struggle for the buyer. But  why so disputable design? Dear readers, write please your opinion, it is very  interesting to me that you think about Subaru Legacy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello friends! We represent the new review, made on results of <strong>Motor Show in Geneva 2009</strong>!</p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Subaru Legacy Concept</strong></span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Subaru Legacy Concept</span></strong> -<strong> </strong>Geneva Motor Show has been considered the most significant event in Europe for a long time! Quite an event was the European premiere of Subaru Legacy Concept Car. It’s no secret that the world’s automobile industry experiences difficulties. The level of Subaru sales in 2008 grew by 585,000 vehicles, a new model of Subaru Forester had a great success (the highest sales volume in the history of the brand).</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="legacy04" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/10/legacy04.jpg" alt="legacy04" width="400" height="267" /></p>
<p>The company Subaru is going to amaze everyone with its first in the history opposite diesel engine – <strong>Subaru Boxer Diesel</strong>! (sport, quiet, economical). Due to the horizontally-opposite Subaru BOXER engine and the symmetric (well-balanced) full drive system the Legacy model has an optimal balance of dynamic management, sustainability and reliability.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-195" title="legacy02" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/legacy02.jpg" alt="legacy02" width="372" height="267" />The design lines accents significant weight of this car, enhancing the sense of its power. Overhung wheel arches accent the car dynamics and its reliability – the unique style of Subaru!!! Subaru – it is the Japanese word that means an agglomerate of 6 stars named “Pleiad”, which, in turn, symbolizes 6 companies that have merged together to create our brand. Like these six stars shining in the heaven, we will continue to do our best, creating bright and safe automobiles that represent the principles “confidence driving”and “driving pleasure”<br />
As Subaru will show to Europeans citycar R1 to look, as the western public will concern this all-wheel drive babe. 4-seater R1 should become strong contender Smart ForTwo. Also Subaru will bring new 7-seater B9 Tribeca which, on hearings, will appear in Europe next year.</p>

2 – Distribution of the twisting moment 40:60, equipment of the car by a full drive, back wheels of wider diameter, 20-inch disks and the unique electronic program operating stability of the car at driving on high speeds.</p>
<p>Thanks, for attention dear readers. Remain with us!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: left;">Nissan GT-R</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-167" title="nissangt-r_5" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nissangt-r_5.jpg" alt="nissangt-r_5" width="500" height="315" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Nissan</strong> has been selling the  <strong>Skyline</strong> in Japan for almost 20 years, long enough that the  first one to make it to the U.S. officially is the fifth generation. This  fifth-generation of the affordable supercar comes to America as the  <strong>Nissan GT-R</strong>, retailing for about $70,000.<span id="more-166"></span></p>
<p>The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Nissan GT-R</span> boasts  performance of far more expensive cars. Its super slick, all-wheel-drive  dutifully and invisibly channels the engine’s 480 horsepower and 430 pound-feet  of torque to whichever tires offer the most grip. This is most remarkable when  enlisted in the Launch Control algorithm, which lets drivers make like <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Michael Schumacher</span> in their own Stop  Light Grands Prix. A twin-clutch, sequential-shifting, six-speed manumatic  transaxle is competitive with the best prancing horse logoed car’s and the equal  of or better than the best of either Stuttgart or Munich.</p>
<p>This car is so good, so much fun to drive, whether slogging and, when the  opportunity presents, darting through rush hour traffic or blurring telephone  poles on empty back roads.</p>
<p>The <strong>GT-R</strong> comes with every comfort and convenience a driver  and passenger need, and most of what a driver and passenger could want. The  sports car-like cabin is climate controlled. The navigation system responds to  voice commands. Behind the navigation system’s LCD lie 11 pages of data, graphs  and virtual gauges that tell the tale on more of the car’s dynamics than most  drivers can, or want to, be bothered knowing. All this makes even the infernal  red start/stop button that takes the place of a perfectly functional key  tolerable. At least, most of the time.</p>
<p><strong>Nissan</strong> plans to sell about 2400 <strong>GT-Rs</strong> through 700 specially certified <strong>Nissan dealers</strong>, a super car  fully homologated and certified to U.S. safety and emission standards and ready  for everyday use just like any other <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Nissan</span> the dealer sells. But that’s  about the extent of the similarities between this ultra-refined supercar and the  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Altimas</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Versas</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Maximas</span> and, yes, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">350Zs</span> that yearn to share a little of  the GT-R’s glow. The time may come, if Nissan survives as a major player in the  U.S. market despite the shrinking new car market and some not-so-minor missteps  by its French management, that the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">GT-R</span> will be seen not just a  stupendous achievement as a legitimate entry in the supercar ranks, but also as  nothing less than the salvation of the brand. One car gave that kind of spark to  Datsun. The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">GT-R</span> may for  Nissan.</p>
<p>The Nissan <span style="text-decoration: underline;">GT-R</span> comes in  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">one body style</span>, a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">two-door</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">2+2 quasi-coupe</span>. There’s also but one  powertrain offered, a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 driving all  four wheels through a six-speed, twin-clutch, sequential-shifting,  automated-manual transaxle</span>. Shifts are managed either by computer or by  steering column-mounted magnesium paddle shifters.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-117         aligncenter" title="dodge_challenger1" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dodge_challenger1.jpg" alt="dodge_challenger1" width="500" height="372" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-119" title="new_2009_dodge_challenger" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/new_2009_dodge_challenger-300x138.jpg" alt="new_2009_dodge_challenger" width="300" height="138" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the push of a button a legend is reborn and an entire segment is reinvented. This is the all-<span style="text-decoration: underline;">new Dodge Challenger</span>. This is not some white-knuckle carnival ride, but a thoroughly modern piece of engineering that marries pure power with measured control. Its lean, low profile is already legendary, simultaneously celebrating the past as well as the future – a massive helping of forward thinking topped with a dollop of heritage. From its efficient 3.5-liter SOHC V6 engine to its smart, available <span style="text-decoration: underline;">5.7-liter VVT HEMI® V8 </span>engine with <strong>Multi-Displacement System (MDS)</strong> to its untouchable Lifetime Powertrain Limited Warranty – the best in the business – the all-new <strong>2009 Dodge Challenger</strong> is unlike any other.<span id="more-116"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">THIS IS WHY WE WAITED SO LONG</h2>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-120" title="challenger_1" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_1-300x166.jpg" alt="challenger_1" width="300" height="166" /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Challenger</span> R/T is decked in I-dare-you-to, from its front and rear spoilers to its striking egg-crate grille and satin chrome fuel filler door. Its 5.7-liter VVT HEMI® V8 with Multi-Displacement System (MDS)[1] gives it stunning credentials in both the power and efficiency categories. The available 6-speed manual transmission delivers precision within the tightest tolerances. The standard <span style="text-decoration: underline;">5-speed AutoStick</span>® transmission provides the option for smooth, fully automatic or spirited clutchless manual shifting. The rear decklid spoiler provides downforce upon an engineered driveline that combines an available limited-slip differential, standard <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Electronic Stability Program</span> (ESP) with antilock <span style="text-decoration: underline;">4-wheel disc brakes</span> (ABS), all-speed traction control, and the geometrical benefits of a sport-tuned steering and suspension system.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="challenger" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger-300x57.jpg" alt="challenger" width="300" height="57" />Even the key embraces technology and features an available remote start[1] function. While loaded with advancements like the available <span style="text-decoration: underline;">High-Intensity Discharge</span> (HID) polycarbonate headlamps, the distinctive note out of its rectangular dual exhaust pipes is pure throwback Hemi.</p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #333333;">HEMISTRY</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-122" title="hemistry" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hemistry.jpg" alt="hemistry" width="66" height="63" /></span>Some might say that engines like the 5.7-liter VVT HEMI® V8 and 6.1-liter HEMI SRT® V8 – power plants that put out more horsepower and torque than any Dodge passenger car since the fabled 426 Hemi engines of the 1960s and 1970s – have already set their legend in stone. Chrysler engineers would disagree. They took the brilliantlypowerful and masterfully efficient 5.7-liter with <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Multi-Displacement System</span> (MDS) and outfitted it with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) while cranking the compression up to 10.5:1. It began as code name Eagle. It ended up with a new and improved dual-ignition HEMI engine that delivers 370 horsepowerand 398 lb-ft of torque with the 5-speed automatic AutoStick,® while the available 6-speed manual transmission increases output to 375 horsepower and a whopping 404 lb-ft of torque – 30-35 more horsepower. Paired with AutoStick,® the HEMI MDS system uses sophisticated algorithms to seamlessly transition from eight cylinders to four when full power is not required, providing four percent better fuel mileage. The 6.1-liter SRT HEMI V8® sends a corralled stampede of 425 horses straight to the rear wheels. Its throwback Hemi Orange engine block is a nod to where HEMI has been; the updated titanium components within signal where HEMI is going.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff3300;"><strong>6.1-LITERSRT HEMI V8</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff3300;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-123" title="6" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/6.jpg" alt="6" width="152" height="113" /><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></strong></span>Its 69.8 horsepowerper-liter rating exceeds that of any vehicle ever offered by Chrysler. It puts out 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque thanks to bored-out cylinders, high-flow heads, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SRT</span> specific intake and exhaust manifolds and beefed-up valves that respond to a performance-minded camshaft. It’s only fitting that the reinforced block under the hood of Challenger SRT8® is clad in HemiOrange from the original paint code.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>5.7-LITER VVT HEMI V8 WITH MDS</strong><span style="color: #000000;">(AUTO TRANSMISSION)</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-124" title="5" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/5.jpg" alt="5" width="126" height="119" />Its aluminum cylinder heads are milled with hemispherical combustion chambers that benefit airflow and, subsequently, horsepower and torque. The new and improved 5.7-liter <span style="text-decoration: underline;">VVT HEMI</span> features <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Variable Valve Timing</span> (VVT) for improved torque over an extended rpm powerband. When equipped with MDS, the computer-controlled variables all add up to improved mileage.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">REAR-WHEEL DRIVE. FORWARD THINKING</h2>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-125" title="challenger_7" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_7-300x56.jpg" alt="challenger_7" width="300" height="56" />Horsepower without control is nothing but a wick in a keg of gunpowder. Challenger’s driveline isa veritable cruise missile of advanced control. Challenger’s independent 5-link rear suspension is tuned to provide improved ride comfort and superior handling on rough roads, thanks to lower unsprung mass which helps maintain better tire contact with the ground and reduces rear road noise. It is further tuned for the SRT8® and features a performance-tuned suspension with Bilstein® monotube tuned dampers. From its specially tailored spring rates and suspension bushings to its beefy sway bars, Challenger SRT8 knows how to put the muscle to the pavement. Anti-spin rear differential? Standard. Electronic Stability Program (ESP)? Standard, complete with full-off mode. Brake knock-back mitigation utilizes a lateral g-force sensor to prime the antilock braking system (ABS) pump and reset the pads for less brake travel when cornering. Alongside this system, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SRT8’s massive 4-piston Brembo</span>® <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Performance </span>calipers and brakes with vented rotors provide nothing less than world-class stopping power. The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SRT Reconfigurable Display</span> provides performance data on 0-60 times, ¼-mile times, 1/8-mile times and friction circle. [No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<h2>BEHOLD THE BUCKETS</h2>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-126" title="challenger_buckets" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_buckets-300x226.jpg" alt="challenger_buckets" width="300" height="226" />It returns to the scene as the only vehicle in its class to offer five-passenger seating. Withinthese well-bolstered confines lies 40 years of interior tech: lit by available LED cup holders and bathed by courtesy lights. The interior features leather-trimmed bucket seats (available on <strong>R/T</strong> and <strong>SE</strong>, standard on <strong>SRT8</strong>®), available heated seats and an eight-way power driver’s seat with power recline. The rear seating delivers serious space and provides belted seating for three passengers with a standard fold-down armrest and cup holders. Challenger’s EZ-access seat system allows for one-handed entry without the inconvenience of contortion. The 60/40 split-folding feature reveals an equally accommodating trunk for flexibility that’s anything but throwback. The spirit of reinvention continues with an available sunroof, an available pistol grip shifter and a steering wheel featuring available integrated audio controls, while Challenger’s “Four Bomb” gauges and available race-inspired pedals nod to the original. The <strong>SRT</strong>® only 180-mph speedo is for closed courses when you unleash the muscle. Based on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ward’s Middle Specialty</span> segment.</p>
<h2>TUNE IN. TURN ON. TECH OUT</h2>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-127" title="challenger_une_in" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_une_in-300x226.jpg" alt="challenger_une_in" width="300" height="226" />The ribbed seatbacks. The available pistol grip shifter. You practically expect to see sideburns in the rearview mirror. Instead, the biggest advance in car audio since the CD player promises to turn the interior of Challenger into an integrated digital playground. The available uconnect gps has a 30 GB hard drive that lets you store photos, playlists, maps, and points of interest, as well as rip, stash, organize and shuffle up to 4,100 music files from CDs or via the USB port and exterior input jack (complete with Gracenote® for easy song titling). uconnect gps operates by touch screen and accepts commands through its integrated microphone for the uconnect phone, allowing for voice tag dialing and verbal access to the onboard phonebook, as well as playlists and a voice recorder. Behind this 6.5-inch integrated touch screen lies a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">CD/DVD/ MP3</span> player that also reads <span style="text-decoration: underline;">DVD video</span>, all while providing <span style="text-decoration: underline;">GPS Navigation</span> and real-time traffic via a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SIRIUS® Satellite Radio tuner</span>. In-dash DVD capability is not available in all states. See your dealer for details.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #333333;">FROM A FAMILY OF KINGS</span></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-128" title="challenger_6" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_6-250x300.jpg" alt="challenger_6" width="250" height="300" /></span><strong>Challenger SE</strong>’s standard 3.5-liter <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SOHC V6</span> has enough power to pin you to its low-back cloth bucket seats. It features an aluminum block with cast-iron liners and four-valve per cylinder aluminum heads. Its sophisticated electronic throttle control system tailors throttle response to pedal movement based on operating conditions for that rarest combination of efficiency (24 mpg highway and muscle (250 hp @ 6400 rpm). Even the ignition system is trick, with platinum-tipped spark plugs that extend scheduled tune-up intervals to 100,000 miles and a coil-on-plug design that helps reduce emissions and increases fuel economy. The fourspeed transmission delivers enough spirit to match the <strong>SE</strong>’s sophisticated swagger. Challenger’s broad shoulders are framed with a standard chin spoiler, unmistakable performance hood and post-mounted side mirrors. The <strong>SE</strong> cockpit features standard front bucket seats and a fourbomb instrument cluster with black surrounds and black headliners. Its three-across rear seats put it in rare company – a coupe with five seat belts. Roll with 17-inch machined-face aluminum or available 18-inch aluminum wheels, with other options, including leather trim or sunroof, to give SE everything it takes to stand out in any crowd of <strong>Challengers</strong>.</p>

The all-new Challenger is reinforced and reinvented with stand-apart safety and security features. Within it you are cradled in a safety cage and surrounded by an advanced multistage air bag system, fully engineered crumple zones, and high-strength side-guard door beams. Active systems like available Electronic Stability Program (ESP), all-speed traction control, antilock braking system (ABS) with Brake Assist, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System form a brilliant behind-the-scenes electronically integrated security network. </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">MULTISTAGE DRIVER FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG</span></span><span style="color: #333333;">: Every Challenger provides standard next-generation multistage  driver and front passenger air bags that use special inflators to deploy with either low, medium or high force, depending upon the demands of the incident. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">STANDARD SIDE-CURTAIN AIR BAG</span></span>: The standard side-curtain air bags offer additional side-impact protection for outboard front and rear seat passengers.

<h2>YOUR OLD SCHOOL COLORS</h2>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-131" title="challenger_old_school_colors" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_old_school_colors-300x111.jpg" alt="challenger_old_school_colors" width="300" height="111" />Those looking to offer a tribute to the 1970s’ original need look no further than a <strong>Challenger R/T Classic</strong> or <strong>SRT8® Spring Special</strong> clad exclusively in B5 Blue from the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Chrysler paint</span> code archives. The R/T Classic’s scripted fender badge is a nod to the  sire that started it all. It features a vented performance hood that increases airflow while cooling the <strong>5.7-liter VVT HEMI® V8</strong>. The polished chrome 20-inch Heritage wheels may be right-now in size, but they’re pure throwback in style, along with the wide-side stripe. Clad an SRT8 in B5 Blue and it will be decked with a performance hood that gives its <strong>6.1-liter HEMI SRT® V8</strong> engine some breathing room. Like eye black on a lineman’s cheekbones or paint on a Tomcat’s nosecone, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SRT8</span> hood is knocked down in a matte black hood stripe and is ready for battle. Its interior, however, turns it right back up with blue accents on its performance-bolstered seatbacks.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #333333;">ATTACK OF THE TRACK PAK</span></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-132" title="challenger_track_pak" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_track_pak-256x300.jpg" alt="challenger_track_pak" width="256" height="300" /></span>It lights them up and lays it down, thanks to a T<span style="text-decoration: underline;">remec 6-speed manual transmission</span> that’s controlled via a pistol grip shifter, a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">375-horsepower</span> <strong>5.7-liter VVT HEMI® V8</strong> that takes its orders from a bright gas pedal and little switch that lets you tell the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Electronic Stability Program</span> (ESP) to take a break for a few minutes. This is the <strong>Challenger Track Pak</strong>. It features <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hill Start Assist</span> to aid the driver when starting from a stop on inclines by holding the brake for approximately one second for an effortless start up any hill. The axle ratio on the 18-inch wheels is 3.73; opt for the 20-inch chrome-clad wheels and you also benefit from an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">antilock four-wheel disc performance braking system</span> (ABS) and a 3<span style="text-decoration: underline;">.91 axle ratio</span>. The performance steering system is tuned to take the turmoil with a variable displacement pump that counters any fluid slosh during cornering. The performance mind-set continues with a rear axle that features an antispin rear differential. It’s fitting that <strong>Challenger</strong> offers an available retro <strong>R/T</strong> wide-side stripe or contemporary hood to fender stripe, because there’s no doubt that this reinvented legend has already earned its stripes. No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-133" title="challenger_4" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/challenger_4-300x57.jpg" alt="challenger_4" width="300" height="57" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the <strong>ESP</strong> warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">COLOR ME GONE IN ANY TRIM LEVEL</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-134" title="color" src="http://autoreview2009.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/color.jpg" alt="color" width="285" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rarely does a vehicle hit the scene without sacrifice, without being watered down by the constraints of timing or public opinion. Rarely does a vehicle like <strong>Challenger</strong> come along, where it makes a maverick declaration straight from concept to production without a single stutter. It’s not often that a car’s swagger runs from its base model to its alpha male, but whether in <strong>SE</strong>, <strong>R/T</strong> or <strong>SRT8</strong>® trim, the attitude of the all-new <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Challenger</span> is heard loud and clear. There’s no question about the statement, only the color you want to make it in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">CHALLENGER WHEELS</h2>

<p style="text-align: justify;">From the sleek optional leather-trimmed interior to the embroidered leather trim of the <strong>SRT8</strong> to the stylish simplicity of the cloth interior, <strong>Challenger</strong> interior materials are as reinvented as the vehicle that employs them. 1. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Momentum Cloth/Wallace II Cloth – Dark Slate Gray</span> (standard on <strong>Challenger SE, R/T</strong>) 2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Royale Leather with Axis Perforated Inserts – Dark Slate Gray </span>(optional on <strong>Challenger SE, R/T</strong>) 3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Royale Leather with Medium Slate Gray Axis Perforated Inserts –Dark Slate Gray</span> (optional on <strong>Challenger SE, R/T</strong>) 4. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Royale Leather with Radar Perforated Suede microfiber inserts – Dark Slate Gray</span> (standard on <strong>Challenger SRT8</strong>.)</p>

You can customize your Challenger to turn heads as you turn corners with <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Authentic Dodge Accessories by Mopar.</span> The unique T/A Hood has an integrated scoop that pays respect to its ancestor, amplifying Challenger’s athletic stance.

<p><strong>Aston Martin</strong> is a company and a brand that has embraced change without compromising its worldwide reputation for understated style and elegance. Captivating design and unparalleled attention to detail are central to the company’s ethos of Power, Beauty and Soul, with perfectly proportioned, flowing bodywork and cosseting interiors that epitomise the marriage of form, function and materials. An <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Aston Martin </span>combines power and sporting ability with refinement, luxury and exceptional beauty. Every <em>Aston Martin</em> expresses the core values of Power, Beauty and Soul, from the V8 Vantage range to the V12 DB9 range and the exciting new DBS. Bodywork is taut and poised, with strong, muscular surfaces that are instantly recognisable, underpinned by the unique VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture of bonded and extruded aluminium, which provides exceptional manufacturing flexibility. ‘VH allows us to maintain the form, language and soul of the product,’ says Dr Ulrich Bez. ‘<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Aston Martin</span></em> should always be about designand proportions.’<span id="more-98"></span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The definitive luxury sports car offers morethan performance, beauty and comfort. It offers dynamic and aesthetic purity, an exquisite interior and a driving experience unsurpassed by any other car. With its race-car roots and luxury appointments, the Aston Martin DBS is just such a car. A 6.0-litre V12 powered, race-bred two-seater shaped by the aerodynamic demands of high performance, the Aston Martin DBS marries beautifully hand-finished materials with the very latest in performance technology. Its hand-built V12 engine produces 380 kW (510 bhp/517 PS), making it one of the most potent production Aston Martins ever made. A combination of elegant design, innovative manufacturing processes, race-derived materials and components, and Aston Martin’s unrivalled hand-crafted expertise makes the DBS a luxury sports car without equal.</p>

<h2>Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe</h2>

<p style="text-align: left;">The V8 Vantage is a hand-crafted sports car that offers outstanding performance and agility. The most affordable model in the range, it fuses traditional Aston Martin style and everyday usability. The result is the world’s most desirable sports car. The advanced body structure of the V8 Vantage is the key to its superb handling and responsiveness. Its all-alloy VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture, which is unique to Aston Martin, provides an excellent backbone, while the use of sophisticated materials such as lightweight alloys, magnesium and advanced composites for the body further contributes to the car’s low weight and class-leading rigidity.</p>

<h2>Aston Martin DB9 Volante</h2>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The DB9 was conceived and designed, from the outset, as both a coupe and a convertible (Volante). This uncompromising approach is typical of the whole DB9 engineering philosophy. That is why the DB9 Volante is one of the most structurally rigid and besthandling convertibles in the world. It is also one of the fastest and quietest. The DB9 Volante looks elegant and perfectly proportioned from every angle – with roof up or down. As with all Aston Martins, beauty and proportion are of key importance.</p>
