This car is great. A bold new face just adds to its image. I really think Audi have finally got a corporate look to all that it can put on all its models, like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. But I was left feeling one thing: the Mercedes-Benz S600L has got 33kw more but roughly the same horsepower-to-weight ratio, yet gets from 0-100km/h in 4.8sec vs 5.2 for the Audi. And remember the Audi has also got AWD. Add more luxury and THAT star upfront and I dont know how Audi are going to sell the A8L to anyone considering the S600L.

Rather wait for the RS6. those who prefer AWD will most likely find the Audi's increased traction heavenly. Those who prefer RWD dynamics (me being one) will still opt for the Beemer's layout. Sure, you can claim the Audi will perform better in rain or snow (rain being debatable), but I wouldn't want to go fast in such weather on public roads anyway. And lest we forget, more traction does not equal more grip and last time I checked, Quattros had but 4 patches of rubber connecting them to Terra Firma, just like a Beemer, Merc or Skoda for that matter.But I guess it's tit for tat. The RS6 will most likely have Quattro AWD with 50:50 split torque (or will it be 60:40?), the Beemer has 50:50 weight distribution. The RS6 will probably be faster around a wet-track, the Beemer will most likely be fastest around a dry track. The Audi has been hailed as elegant, timeless ...and boring.I say one is a great car, the other will probably be a great car and this S6 isn't too shabby either. Just take your pick and be merry. V-10: As a pretty unpopular amount of cylinders, the V-10 finds another victim: the new S6. The most recent member of ten cyninders went to the acclaimed M5, which happens to be a fairly close competitor to the S6 (RS6 anyone?). One key element that this vehicle has that the M5 does not, is all-wheel-drive. This great feature, though giving off some extra weight, is a specialty that the snowy states will certainly accept gladly. Hats off to you Audi, for going the extra mile with a vehicle that will blow the doors off the 545i, and yearns to produce a possible M5 slayer, the RS6.

2003 Acura NSX specifications

2009-08-26T17:36:00.000-07:00

Remember one thing about this car.I love muscle cars too, but the NSX will easily outhandle any American car. Total work of art, and if you care about more than just the quarter mile, its definitely worth the price. The NSX is truly a sports car. It has performance and style. Ever since it was introduced in 1990 I fell in love with this car. Many consider the NSX to be the Japanese Ferrari, but I say the Ferrari is the Italian NSX. I agree that it is a bit overpriced, but think of its good aspects, not styling or horsepower, think of its top speed: 175, that isnt bad for a V-6, not to mention its Naturally Aspirated, very light as well as aerodynamic. I have seen this car in person twice, and it looks much better in real life than it does in photos, and compared to a lot of V-8s this car is incredible, in fact, the top speed is near the Ferrari 360 Spiders. I dont know why you guys dont like this car so much, but its way better if you think about the good points.

2002 Acura NSX: 1st noticeable changes to appearance. Out was the fixed-roof model, leaving only the NSX-T with lift-off roof panel. New Xenon headlamps, larger exhaust ports, wider rear tires, revised suspension and a 4-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift feature. No changes to 2003 Acura NSX 3.2, 2004 Acura NSX: Keyless entry and a trunk-mounted CD changer were added.

the Acura TL Type-S Absolutely Amazing I've always loved the 3.2TL Type-S. The first street car that always turned my head. Like all good things it had to come to and end, but they've come up with another gorgeous car. The exhaust looks incredible, the leather looks supple.
Pros
Good Fuel Economy for a power car, Punchy acceleration, Fun to Drive, Good cruising car on Highways
Cons
I-pod does not sync up to Display screen, Cluttered dash..tape deck,Cd,AM/FM,XM..Steering pulls

2009-08-26T08:25:00.000-07:00

I recorded a time of 5.9 seconds to 60mph as my friends took the car for a spin. He found a flat, long stretch of road, and simply floored it...and it is quick. The interior however does not complement its brilliant performance. It is very chunky inside, and is made of far too much 'plastic' material. Very confortable seats, and the rear view camera - to assist with parking - is fun, although it was anoying everytime it was bleeping. One thing I have established is that it is not suited to a chauffeurs car, it is too sporty. Switch the suspension to 'Sport' and it will blow you away. Performance figures specifications

Saab 9-7X performance

2009-08-26T08:08:00.000-07:00

In its advertising for the 9-7X, it's interesting how Saab emphasizes its "Scandinavian Design" elements. Perhaps they're hoping people will either forget or won't catch on to its GM origins. The exterior is nicely done - notice how the hood and front fenders slope downwards. This isn't hasty badge engineering. According to a recent Car and Driver piece, enough attention was given to the 9-7X's performance, particularly in the suspension, to where it feels more like a Saab than a tarted-up TrailBlazer. Not being a hardcore Saab fan, I have no heartfelt opinions about GM's ownership. I guess if Porsche and BMW can do SUVs, it shouldn't be a big deal if Saab follows suit. Are the Swedes losing their brand's identity and character with Detroit in control? Saab was in the position, at least in the U.S., of either increasing sales with new models that dilute their Saab flavor. Or maintaining their independence, with declining sales dragging them into oblivion.

Saab 9-2X review

2009-08-26T08:01:00.000-07:00

the Saab 9-2X Good first attempt at all wheel drive Since Saab has been lagging in the all wheel drive market for the last two decades it makes perfect sence for Big Brother GM to jumpstart the struggling Swedish company. Saab obviously couldnt do it on their own. I like the idea of a proven all wheel drive platform with a Euro body style. Ive been impressed with the WRX for years but have a problem with the exterior looks. Interior on the 9-2X looks fine. What do you expect for 25K? My only complaint would be for more HP. But how many people actually race?
First of all, dont get me wrong, the Subaru WRX is a very fine automobile. But this newest Saab is profoundly sacrilegious. Saab has finally joined the ranks of automotive marques that have sold out on their heritage and automotive roots. (Remember how you felt when the Porsche Cayenne came out?) Thats the exact same feeling I have when I first laid eyes on this Saabaru. Saab has lost its creative quirky edge. But I guess you cant blame them too much, GM is responsible for this. I feel sorry for Swedes who saw their brand be bought out Corporate America, then have the audacity to market a Japanese made car that wont even be sold in Sweden. Totally outrageous. Thanks GM for ruining Saabs mystique. This car is disappointing. I know Saab and Subaru have joined forces... but a blatant cut-and-paste effort? Please... Saab being a luxury brand and all cannot just rip-off an Impreza and call it theirs. True, with WRX under-pinnings , this car could be a class leader, in doubt, in the performance and handling stakes. But surely they can restyle this totally ? I can see an Impreza Wagon from the A-pillars back. And the dash board is like completely Japanese and Impreza! This wouldnt do. True, both brands are mavericks butdiffrenciation is important. Especially for Saab if it really intends to go head-on againsts Volvo, Merc and BMW . Try harder. The customers are NOT blind. View all the user comments on the Saab 9-2X

2010 Nissan GT-R specs Performance

2009-08-13T09:52:00.000-07:00

the Nissan GT-R and its the lack of bright exterior colours and you can have any interior colour as long as it is black YUK NISSAN this philosophy is 100 years obsolete! now NISSAN may want a sinister image for the GTR for some obscure Eastern reason but I will never drive a b cave and when did ya last sit in a lounge room or office painted all black and felt comfortable? this car is too important and desirable not to have more colour choices amazes me how these companies can get the marketing basics so wrong and how this omission may prevent the GTR from becoming the most loved and admired Japanese classic of all time come on NISSAN a rethink is very necessary here Porsche will have to strike back First of all I find this car FUGLY like all GTRs but that is just my opinion. With Nissan, life is made a little bit more easy as they have a target to aim for. Namely, the Porsche Turbo. E.g. Make the GT-R faster than the Porsche. Yes, they have suceeded in doing this although sometimes I question what "unofficial" times mean when they clock this car around the "ring". Now Porsche have a target and they better work fast. Unfortunately the next Porsche Turbo is probably 2-3 years away. I just wonder if Porsche might "fast track" the development of the next Turbo. I'm assuming they will come out with a car that will "blow away" the GT-R. We will have to wait and see - can't wait. Get real about the performance I have to admit that I was surprised at the numbers this thing is producing. But come on, faster than a Carrera GT/Enzo/Veryon? Few years ago I knew a guy that said the only reason you couldn't get a skyline in the US was that the government was too afraid of how fast it was. Said it was a government conspiracy that was keeping it from being sold here. That's not much crazier than saying a GT-R is faster than a Veyron. General specifications

2010 Nissan Nismo GT-R GT1 Performance

2009-08-13T09:47:00.000-07:00

the Nissan Nismo GT-R GT1 Not as competitive as one would imagine. I think many people not familiar with racing would assume that the GT-R's world-beating performance in the roadgoing version would automatically translate into dominant racing performance. However, with most major GT racing series outlawing 4WD in favor of plain old rear wheel drive (and, of course, banning the use of traction control systems) this immediately negates the GT-R's performance advantage. I mean, if you take away the GT-R's AWD and trick differentials, you're left with little more than a big, heavy twin-turbo 380Z. I certainly would be surprised if the GT-R made any splash in any GT series other than JGTC. I would certainly not expect it to usurp any of the dominant manufacturers in any GT class (Porsche/Ferrari in GT2 and Corvette/Aston/Maserati in GT1).

2010 Nissan GT-R SpecV Performance

2009-08-13T09:42:00.000-07:00

the Nissan GT-R SpecV get ya aesthetics right NISSAN and stop being fixated by your techno wizardry, impressive as it is, as a car has to look good too in other words give consumers more exterior paint choices and lighten up your baleful black coloured leather interior as one colour does not fit all and never did and while you are at it throw in some sexy options a la PORSCHE for more individuality and fat profits do that and you will cement this as the best Japanese car ever and a 'watershed' epoch making car for the whole world but do it now, you can get past your engineering myopia Well, I think everyone (myself included) was hoping for a big power boost, but this looks to be more in line with prior Spec V GT-R models, with more focus on refinement in suspension and braking and some nice interior bits. The Japanese are still more interested in refined performance than bragging rights, I think. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that this model is still quite a bit quicker around a track than the normal one, despite the apparently "minor" upgrades.

2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster specs

2009-08-13T09:39:00.000-07:00

the Nissan 370Z Roadster Very nice car I must say that this is a very well designed car that can obviously outrun a Porsche. Especially when you consider the price, I also think the soft roof is a VERY nice touch. The 370Z roadster is i think better looking them the hard top i have to say i also like the design of the car more better looking them the 350Z before it i have to say i prefer this to the GTR R35

2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe

2009-08-13T09:29:00.000-07:00

This is a great coupe. Lots of power and handles VERY well. Some understeer, but managable. Very nice shifter and very comfortable ride, for a sports car. RON This is the first new car in a long time that I can genuinely say I want. It's not perfect (no Z ever has been) but it's a good, honest sports car, at a reasonable price, and a real improvement on its predecessor in almost every way. Well done Nissan.
