2011 Nissan Altima Coupe Review

February 5, 2011 / Staff

Bullz-Eye.com reviewed the 2011 Nissan Altima Coupe. Find out what they had to say about the ride below!

Exterior
The projector beam headlights on the 2011 Altima are aggressive and very stylish. One could easily mistake the Altima for the pricier and larger Nissan Maxima (that’s not a bad thing for Altima buyers!). The model we tested was Navy Blue, equipped with 17″ Alloy Wheels, dual chrome-tipped exhaust finishers, body-color front and rear splash guards and UV reducing solar glass. All together, the car looked like a sporty but sizable vehicle. The 2011 Altima has an overall length of 190.7 inches so you’re not jumping into a sub compact.

Interior
When I first entered the 2011 Altima Coupe I could see a fine line between this car and and a sports car. You really do get the feel of a sports car with the room of a midsize. The front bucket seats are comfortable and the charcoal cloth trim in our model looked and felt great. The rear access passenger seat lever makes it easy to enter and exit the back seats, which also provide ample room for two passengers. The center dashboard is where the action is at. The XM satellite radio sounded great with a Bose nine speaker system. The USB port with iPod connectivity, a 4.3″ display with a very helpful rearview monitor, built-in Bluetooth hands-free phone system, a dual-zone auto temperature control system and push button start round out the interior feature set. The sporty, leather-wrapped steering wheel fits right in with this crafty interior layout. Trunk space is limited, but the 60/40 rear seat fold down can add some space for longer objects. The review model did have a moon roof but driving during January in the midwest is no time to enjoy that feature. Speaking of the roof, I did notice a lack of headroom, which was the most glaring drawback in the 2011 Altima Coupe.

Audi R8 GT vs. Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Porsche 911 Turbo

February 4, 2011 / Staff

When these three supercars go head to head nobody really loses!

From Insideline.com:

It was only a question of time, really. Eventually the four rings from Ingolstadt and the bull from Sant’Agata would go head-to-head with one another. Because even if the Audi R8 has kept a respectful distance in the marketplace to the Lamborghini Gallardo from which it’s derived, humble pie is obviously no longer on the menu in the office canteen at Audi HQ.

At first the Audi R8 seemed entirely different, simply a stretched, German-size version of the Gallardo with a luxury kind of spin. After all, Audi is the world’s fastest-growing luxury brand right now, while Lamborghini is exclusive and extreme, catering to a very select audience that wouldn’t be caught dead in an Audi.

But when you see the 2011 Audi R8 GT in real life for the first time, you wonder what it is. Is it a celebration of Audi’s nine victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans? Or is it evidence of a new corporate seriousness about the sports car business, not only a head-to-head confrontation with an exotic as serious as the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera but also a warning shot across the bows of the Porsche 911 Turbo?

Drive to Dallas: A big chill in The Big Easy

February 3, 2011 / Staff

Despite a winter storm that shut down a large portion of the country, Bullz-Eye was able to arrive in New Orleans on time thanks to some great work by our airlines! One of the other members of the “Game On” team wasn’t able to fly out of New York on Tuesday so our Drive to Dallas has been altered a bit with the drive now Starting on Thursday.

Now make no mistake the weather is cold in the Big Easy but the accommodations at the Westin and the great food can temper even the coldest of days. The Camellia Grill was a great spot for breakfast and the Manhattan omelet with hash browns was off the charts. If our group didn’t already eat enough we stopped by Cafe Du Monde for beignets and some café au lait! Unreal and only in New Orleans.

Last night we kicked things off with an incredible dinner at Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse. Fried oysters and seafood gumbo kicked off the meal, and tonight we’re hoping for some authentic New Orleans étouffée!

Bullz-Eye will hit the road in a 2011 Chrysler 200 tomorrow morning but first we’ll do some filming today so look out for plenty of content on our Drive to Dallas.

Will this so called “range anxiety problem” around electric vehicles stifle the awesome potential at hand?

February 1, 2011 / Staff

Will this so called “range anxiety problem” around electric vehicles stifle the awesome potential at hand? Time will only tell but this article brings up some very good points on why the electric vehicle buzz might not turn into serious numbers in sales. Hey, Who wants to worry about running out of juice as that will really take the charge out of sales while hybrids can kick into traditional gas power and keep cruising for hundreds of miles!

From the Wall Street Journal:

Hong Kong had its worst-ever year in terms of roadside pollution in 2010, according to government data. It also hosts the world’s highest traffic density, says the Clear the Air, a local antipollution organization. But despite rising concern over roadside pollution levels and a government campaign to get consumers and companies to adopt zero-emissions vehicles, electric cars aren’t yet creating much spark.

Mitsubishi, EuAuto and Tesla each offer an electric car to Hong Kong consumers to replace gasoline-powered ones, but so far, there have been few takers. As of Dec. 31, just 70 electric cars were registered in Hong Kong. Twenty-two of those are part of the government fleet and include electric golf cart-like vehicles. The other about 600,000 automobiles emit hazardous pollutants.

The government’s Environmental Protection Department says transport pollution accounts for 82% of Hong Kong’s carbon monoxide emissions. Furthermore, the University of Hong Kong released a Jan. 19 study linking low visibility due to air pollution to risk of mortality.
