2011 Nissan Maxima Car Review

December 1, 2010 / Staff

Bullz-Eye.com recently reviewed the 2011 Nissan Maxima. Find out what they had to say about this new ride!

Most of you have seen the Nissan Maxima commercial where the guy’s wife announces that they’re having a baby and he transforms their 370Z into a Maxima. Once you get to the end of this review you’ll know how believable we found the commercial.

Exterior
The 2011 Maxima has a clean and refined look – a mixture of a sports and luxury sedan. The chrome finish around the windows and smoked HID Xenon Headlights give the 2011 Maxima 3.5 SV a distinctive look. The model we tested also sported fog lights, dual chrome exhaust with rolled edges, 19″ aluminum light hyper-silver wheels, a dark chrome grille, and a rear spoiler. Basically, this Maxima looked refined and cocky, a truly modern take on a model known for its practical, real-world driving experience. The front end invokes the design of Nissan’s high-end GTR sports car. That’s a good thing, friends.

Hot Cars Destined to be Collectibles

November 26, 2010 / Staff

CNN Money checks out the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe:

Base price: $62,165
Mileage: 14 City / 19 Hwy

Most new cars go on to become used cars and, eventually, high-grade scrap metal, but a few become sought-after collectibles.

The experts at collector car insurer Hagerty Insurance have picked these 10 models as most likely to attract future car collectors based on a handful of merits.

Collectible cars tend not to be those that were extremely popular in their own day. Most new car buyers have fairly mundane, practical needs. They aren’t after design flair, excitement or outrageous performance — the very attributes car collectors crave.

A prime example is the Cadillac CTS-V coupe, the most impractical Caddy on your dealer’s lot. With its radically chiseled body lines and 556-horsepower supercharged V8 this car is all about looks and performance. Your backseat passengers be damned.

2011 Ford Taurus Limited FWD Review

November 17, 2010 / Staff

Bullz-Eye.com reviewed the 2011 Ford Taurus Limited FWD! Read on to see what they had to say about this ride.

Ford Motor CEO Alan Mulally resurrected the Ford Taurus after a brief hiatus. We recently had the chance to test one out. This Taurus is completely different from the ones the world has been driving for the past 25 years and, before we get into the review, we can confidently say that Mr. Mulally made the right call in bringing the Taurus back.
Exterior

When I first took a look at the Ford Taurus Limited, the Konna blue metallic paint job stood out and looked great. First impressions are important and the newer Taurus design, beautiful color, and 19” chrome clad wheels made me want to get inside to check out the interior. This is a big deal for Ford. For years the company did a great job improving the interior but left the exterior bland and boring on too many cars. Not anymore! The Taurus is also surprisingly big, which has its pros and cons. The customer gets a lot of car for their buck but I would still like to see the overall size of the next generation Taurus shrink some and develop a sleeker and lighter design.

Camaro Convertible Revealed

November 15, 2010 / Staff

Motortrend.com reveals that 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible!

Chevrolet has been teasing us with its Camaro Convertible since the 2007 Detroit Auto Show. While we’ve seen plenty of photos of the concept and Neiman Marcus edition, the automaker finally revealed shots of the production model today.

Predictably, the car looks extremely similar to the concept shown nearly four years ago at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show and identical to the Neiman Marcus car save for a few items. The five-spoke wheels featured on the concept that also appeared on the Neiman Marcus convertible have been replaced with the same five-spoke chrome wheels bolted to the Camaro coupe. The silver windshield surround from the 2007 concept and Neiman Marcus Camaro is now body-colored.

Like its hardtop sibling, the Camaro Convertible will be available with your choice of V-6 or V-8 powertrains in LT, LS, RS, or SS trims. The V-6 is GM’s 3.6-liter, direct-injected unit good for 312 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. SS buyers get GM’s 6.2-liter, LS3 V-8 that puts out 426 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. GM hasn’t released full powertrain specifications yet, but expect the choice of a six-speed manual or automatic transmissions with both engines.

2011 Ford Fiesta Review

November 9, 2010 / Staff

Bullz-Eye.com reviews the 2011 Ford Fiesta! Find out what the site had to say about this ride.

I have been hearing and reading about the 2011 Ford Fiesta for so long now that I felt I knew the car before I stepped inside the cabin. Ford provided Bullz-Eye with a Lime Green Metallic 2011 Ford Fiesta SES Hatchback with a manual transmission for our test drive, and I had a week to get to know it better.

I had high expectations considering this is an all new offering in North America from Ford. The media coverage has been off the charts so I was very curious to see how the Fiesta would measure up. When you first see the Fiesta, you realize this isn’t just a filler in The Blue Oval’s lineup, but a signal of what subcompact cars in America will look like in the future.

Exterior Design
The 2011 Fiesta has a clean and aggressive looking front end that, quite frankly, surprised me a bit. When I took a hard look at the fascia and stance, I wondered if there were more positive surprises in store with this ride. I continued to check out the exterior of the vehicle and caught the 16″ painted aluminum wheels staring at me and, I must say they, looked very sharp. The front driving lamps have a chrome bezel and look very stylish. It is the kind of detail I would expect in a larger, more expensive car. (We just aren’t used to these things in subcompacts in the U.S…) I liked the overall look of the hatchback and the rear blended smoothly with the hyper-cool front end. The edgy styling sat well with me and will distinguish the Fiesta from its competitors.
