The Survolt, absolutely fun to attending at and bethink about Ridge Racer or Cruis'n World. I even like the REVOLTe in a weird, this-isn't-right affectionate of way. And the next beholder is just about the bend.

Called the GQbyCitroГ«n, it's one of the best-looking GTs I've apparent in a while - sorry, BMW - and is the aftereffect of a activity led by GQ UK editor Dylan Jones.

The car's exoteric was bound by CitroГ«n's Mark Lloyd of DS3 acclaim (and his architecture team, naturally) while the autogenous is by Patrick Grant. Grant happens to be artistic administrator at E. Tautz, a Savile Row clothier and the abundance area I acquirement my linens.

According to Lloyd, "Where this car works so able-bodied with GQ is that it fits with the accepted attitudes of apparent consumption. It is chaste rather than in-your-face, glassy rather than macho."..

As for the claimed numbers, they're impressive. With a direct-injected 1.6 liter gas/electric amalgam ability train, it's said to hit 60 mph in 4.5 abnormal while getting bound to a top acceleration of 250km/h or 155mph. Emissions are at 80g/km.

2011 Audi Q7 Review

The Audi Q7 is one of the newer large luxury SUVs to become available.

The Audi Q7 is a luxury SUV that seats up to seven. The base 3.6 Premium trim gets you an impressive list of standard features, including leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, Audi's MMI control interface and a power liftgate. All engines are mated to a six-speed transmission with manual shift control, and all Q7s are equipped with Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

This being an Audi, the cabin offers class-leading levels of style; an air of discreet affluence predominates, and materials quality is first-rate. The navigation, climate control and audio systems are all accessed via Audi's Multi Media Interface (MMI). The Audi Q7 shines on pavement. Its optional adjustable air suspension helps it navigate bumps and ruts with panache, and Audi's all-wheel-drive system keeps the wheels firmly glued to the road. Used Audi Q7 Models

The 2011 Audi Q7 ranks 5 out of 17 Luxury Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 88 published reviews and test drives of the "Audi Q7", and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

Gone are the sluggish 3.6-liter V6 and 4.2-liter V8 engines. Audi also continues to offer the diesel-powered TDI model – and since the 2011 Q7’s prices are expected to be just as high as the 2010 model’s, it continues to be the best value. The Lexus RX 350 starts at about $9,000 less and offers one of the highest fuel economy ratings in the class. Its 18/25 city/highway rating is even better than the Q7 turbodiesel’s rating. However, the RX 350 doesn’t offer a third-row seat.

Note that Audi expects a fuel economy increase for 2011, but neither Audi nor the EPA has released figures.

For 2011, the Q7 receives minor exterior revisions, the new engines and transmission, and standard HD radio. Audi has not yet announced trims for 2011. All models come standard with Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system.

Fiat Bravo Review

If you want a middle-of-the-road, middle-of-the-range hatchback, you buy a Volkswagen Golf, like hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers across Europe. The Italian company positioned the "" as the best-looking car in its class. The Fiat Bravo was available only as a five-door hatchback and came with the choice of petrol or diesel power. A ¬1.4-litre petrol engine, either with or without turbocharged forced induction, provided a choice of 90bhp, 120bhp or 150bhp, while the 1.9-litre diesel produced 120bhp or 150bhp.

The Fiat Bravo interior is one of its best features. Spend about £600 more and a second-hand Dynamic model adds alloy wheels, dual-sided climate control, cruise control and refrigerated storage under the front arm-rest. The Fiat Bravo falls short of being the class leader because of its lacklustre driving characteristics. Reliability and servicing

All Fiat Bravo require servicing once a year or every 18,000 miles, whichever is sooner — for cars registered after 2008 the mileage limit is 21,000 miles. Prices for tyres and brakes are on a par with rivals. A minor service costs £135-£165, a main one £410.

The Fiat Bravo is a car that was developed by Fiat between the years of 1995 to 2001 and this car will be launched in India in 2010. The design of the car was completed on a tight schedule and the company hopes to enjoy continued success with this car as with its other models.

2011 Chrysler 200 mid-sized Sedan

Chrysler announced that its all-new midsize sedan will be called the 200. Most notable from these snapshots are the narrower front and rear lights and the restyled Chrysler emblem. The 200 will come with a choice of two powertrains: the 2.4-liter four-cylinder carried over from the previous generation with either a four-speed or six-speed automatic, and higher-end versions will get the company’s new 3.6-liter V-6 with 283 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic. That’s more power than what V-6 versions of the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry or Ford Fusion produce.

We expect to learn more as the auto show season approaches.

Chrysler has revealed the mystery around its fully enhanced 2011 Chrysler 200 mid-sized sedan, promising fans and customers remarkable styling, reinforced driving experience, technology innovations, and of course abundance of standard safety features.

2011 Volkswagen Jetta Overview

The cabin tech interface in the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SEL looks good and is easy to use. The Bluetooth phone system offers dial by name through voice command. The manual transmission only has five gears, and the engine feels short of the claimed 170 horsepower. The navigation system lacks advanced features.

The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SEL makes for decent, if unexciting, transportation and includes a good suite of cabin electronics.

Volkswagen previously priced itself above its intended market, but wants to regain the title of peoples' car with the all-new Jetta. At its very base S trim, the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta can be had for $15,995.

Our Jetta SEL review car looked like a very good value, even at that price. For one, its navigation and Bluetooth phone systems are standard.

On paper, the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine sounds quite powerful.

The EPA ratings for the Jetta SEL are 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. Nav and Bluetooth, standard

Surprising is Volkswagen's decision to mostly do away with options and make cabin tech dependent on trim level. The SEL trim car comes standard with navigation, Bluetooth phone system, and digital audio sources.

Legroom is now a class-leading 38.1 inches, a 2.7-inch gain from the previous model.

Upgrading to the SE trim will add a 2.5-liter engine, 16-inch wheels, V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces, body-colored side mirrors with integrated turn signals, a chrome interior package that accents the rotary light switch, bezels for air nozzles, HVAC controls, parking brake and steering wheel emblem.

The new Jetta also sees the return of Volkswagen's 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain as its base engine, while the previously standard 170 horsepower 2.5-liter five-cylinder will be on the options list. The TSI and TDI engines get VW's advanced six-speed DSG automatic.
