Ten Cool Cars Under 18K

May 22, 2010 /

Looking for a deal on a new car but you don’t want to spend too much cashola? Our friends at CnnMoney.com have put together a list of the 10 coolest cars that sell for under 18k. From the new Fiesta to the Fit they will all probably give you the value you crave but I would have to say that the Mazda3 is one of the best looking of the bunch. If you want Funky and Cool go for the Nissan Cube!

Ford is making a big splash in the sub-compact car market with the new Ford Fiesta. Early reviews put this one at the top of its class.

Kelley Blue Book, the automotive Web site that picked this list of the best cars you can buy for less than $18,000, calls it “better looking, nicer inside, and even more fun” than the Honda Fit, a car that’s long been one of KBB’s favorites.

Sneak peak at 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS

May 22, 2010 /

Some hot photos of the upcoming 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS for your viewing pleasure. Some readers may feel there is too much style to this car but I say this is right on the mark. The current model is almost smooth to the point that it was boring in a sense. With the new edgy styling with more aggressive headlights and more curves around the belt line we feel Mercedes some very intelligent moves with the 2011 CLS.

From InsideLine.com:

Due out late this year as a 2011 model, this heavily styled, newly edgy Mercedes-Benz CLS-class will replace the current coupe/sedan that’s so smooth it looks as if it was extruded out of something.

Follow the jump for more photos and information.

In the ebb and flow of car design, everything goes simple and smooth then all at once it goes all edgy and complicated. We are currently witnessing from Mercedes a move to edgy complication.

Chrysler gears up for 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with second shift added to an existing plant

May 21, 2010 /

Chrysler is gearing up for the new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee by hiring 1100 new employees at the Jefferson North Plant in Detroit, Michigan. This is a really big deal for Chrysler and bringing in new hires will make this vehicle launch even more complicated as these are not experienced auto workers so Chrysler better be focusing on Quality like a laser beam.

From the Detroit Free Press:

Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne today said the company would hire 1,100 workers for a second shift at Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit over the summer.

The factory builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Marchionne’s remarks were made at a celebration to launch production of the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee — Chrysler’s first all-new vehicle since it emerged from bankruptcy nearly a year ago.

Marchionne said “nearly all” the new jobs for the second shift, which will start July 19, will be new hires and not existing UAW workers on layoff.

GM focusing on efficiency

May 21, 2010 /

Gas mileage is all the rage now, even in your favorite pick up trucks. Very good to see and we welcome the focus on efficiency! GM is testing new grilles on the big boy trucks and according to the design engineer the new grille works like a flap, with movable louvers, integrated with the grille assembly. Hey, they actually don’t look bad either.

From AutoGuide.com:

With fuel economy still one of the primary buzz words in the auto industry these days, manufacturers are looking to do what they can to boost the mileage of their vehicles. When it comes to light trucks, any savings in gas mileage helps, especially in view of impending CAFE regulations. One method General Motors is seriously looking at, concerns louvered radiator grilles.

Alfa Romeo Spider Design Study

May 20, 2010 /

Is the Alfa Romeo Spider part of the Fiat/Chrysler North American product offensive from Sergio Marchionne? Time will tell but as you can see here Alfa keeps tinkering with an already beautiful car and hopefully it will see this side of the Atlantic.

From Motorcrave.com:

I’m not sure that we’re quite ready for a new Alfa Romeo design study, after being bombarded with Alfa concepts like the Pininfarina 2uettottanta just months ago at the Geneva Motor Show. But the next generation of brilliant automotive designers must learn, so Alfa teamed up with a trio of designers from the Politecnico di Milano University to create this Spider design study. The designers are Alberto Gaiani, Massimo Paparella and Michela Zedda.
