Bullz-Eye Review of the 2011 Camaro 2LT Coupe

December 9, 2010 / Staff

Bullz-Eye.com reviews the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT Coupe. Find what they had to say about this sweet ride!

The 2011 Camaro 2LT Coupe continues the impressive rebirth of the 2010 model with a few notable tweaks. When the Camaro arrived for our review, I took a few moments to admire this victory red car and think about how great it is to have the Camaro back in the game! The 2011 Camaro showed us the past and the future in a skin so stylish I’d call it borderline iconic.
Exterior

The styling of the 2011 Camaro is nothing short of eye-popping and what better way to bring such an important nameplate back to life than with this homerun design. Before the 2010 Camaro hit the streets, many wondered how much of the concept car the production model carry forward. GM answered the call and invoked the Camaro of the 60’s and 70’s with a new and fresh design that hit on all cylinders. The Camaro doesn’t go as retro as the Ford Mustang or Dodge Challenger, making her own mark instead. The low roofline, aggressive stance, and in-your-face front end make a lasting impression for even the most discerning eyes! The lines on this car are so dead-on, from the fender flanks to the gorgeous rear, you wonder where this Camaro been hiding all of these years? The 20″x8″ front and 20″x9″ rear flangeless, painted aluminum wheels with midnight silver finish were teamed up with a rear spoiler and unique tail lamps for the RS model we drove. Put simply, The 2011 Camaro is one of the best looking cars on the road today.

Driving with Dodge in San Francisco

December 2, 2010 / Staff

Gerardo Orlando of Bullz-Eye.com had the opportunity to drive some of the new Dodge vehicles in San Francisco! Find out what he had to say on some of the rides.

I was invited by Chrysler to join other bloggers in San Francisco for the opportunity to drive some of the new Dodge vehicles. As you can see from the photos above, we had a beautiful day in the city by the bay, and I had a great time with this impressive new lineup.

The Dodge Charger is the flagship vehicle for the Dodge brand, and the Charger has been completely redesigned from the ground up for the 2011 model year. The iconic feel of the vehicle remains, but you can see the new, sleeker design in the first photo above and in the other Charger photos. It offers a sport sedan that I think will have huge appeal for guys looking for performance, aggressive styling and value. The car was a joy to drive through the winding roads in the Bay area, as the new suspension lived up to the promise. For a car that starts at $25,995, buyers will get tremendous value.

The real treat of the day was the 2011 Dodge Challenger. I had the opportunity to drive one of the Inaugural Edition versions of the 2011 Challenger SRT8 392. This car is beautiful as you can see from the slideshow above, with the white paint and the blue racing stripes, and it’s the ultimate American muscle car. Frankly, I can’t remember a car I enjoyed driving more than this one. The car is a torque monster – the 392 Hemi is rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. I drove the automatic version, and this car is a beast! When you hit the gas at any speed, this car does exactly what you want it to do as it respond with a muscular roar. It handles beautifully as well, and any car enthusiast will fall in love with this 2011 Challenger.

While the Challenger and Charger stole the show, I was equally impressed with the other vehicles in the Dodge lineup. Dodge brought back the Durango, and this full-size SUV should be a real hit. The 2011 Durango has all the luxuries customers are becoming accustomed to in the crossover segment, but this SUV is the real deal as it still leads its class in towing capacity. Meanwhile, the handling is much better than previous versions of the vehicle, so you don’t feel like you’re driving a big truck.

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.
