Modern Models 2010 Vehicle Reliability Winners and Losers
The J. D. Power and Associates has released a report on long-term reliability of new vehicles. Performance metrics are measured based on “problems per 100 vehicles” (PP100). A lower PP100 score means that the vehicle is more dependable. The study is based on the survey results from 52,000 original owners of 2007 model year vehicles.
The report has found that 25 out of 36 auto brands have shown improvements in long term reliability when compared to 2009. Furthermore, the average PP100 for 2010 has dropped to 155, a 7% improvement from last year.
This year’s vehicle reliability award goes to Porsche, which received perfect scores in almost every category. Other top performers include: Buick, Lexus, Lincoln, and Mercury (a division of Ford in U.S.). All of them received five-star dependability rating. Other honourable brands that have earned four-star rating are Honda and Toyota.
Brands with the worst reliability ratings are: Jeep, Land Rover, and Suzuki. All of them received a two-star rating in every category.

New of 2013 Porsche “Baby” Boxster
Here comes another creative idea from Porsche: a baby Boxster code named, “New 356″. It is likely to have a 2.0L fuel-efficient engine that pumps out about 250hp. The engine may be shared with the upcoming Audi R4.
On the sales front, lower-end models in a luxury brand tend to sell – the Audi A3, BMW 1 and 3 Series, Mercedes B and C Class, and the Lexus IS are some examples. Furthermore, if automakers offer features on lower-end models that are also available in the top-end models, there is the psychological effect of “Hey! My A3 has the same LED headlights as the R8!” Having a baby Boxster in the product line-up would attract people who love Porsches that are “not quite there yet”.
If the price is right for the baby Boxster, it can even lure some of the potential 335i, M3, CLK, and SLK buyers to “convert”. The real problem is, the baby Boxster would also compete with its own Audi TT, TTS and even the existing Boxster if Porsche is not being careful enough in the pricing. Pricing it too high defeats the purpose of its existence (Why would I get one if the true Boxster is only several thousands more?) Pricing it too low may make the brand look cheap (Everyone is driving a baby Boxster. Porsche is not special anymore.)
Only time will tell on whether the baby Boxster can actually make it into production. No matter how “baby” the mini Boxster is, people would buy it. After all, it is still a Porsche.

After Ignition Soul, Soul and Shadow Dragon Denim Soul, the Quartet special editions of the Soul 2010 is completed by the Ghost Soul, whose name reflects its exterior color.
The Ghost Soul features a color called gray-blue light, enriched with light gray stripes on the flanks. Shade supposed evoked the famous “Ghost”, which in this case would probably be good to spend his famous white cloth to the laundry

The Cool Cars for Gumball 3000 Toronto
Toronto is the second last stop for this year’s Gumball 3000 event. Each year, the ultra-rich drive their exotic cars around different cities to show off their rides and receive celebrity treatment from the crowd.
For car fans, the Gumball 3000 is way better than a lot of the Canadian auto shows. That’s because regular people like myself get to go up close to the cool cars. (In auto shows, these exotic cars are at least ten feet from the crowd) Better yet, some of the generous owners let people sit inside their Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s. I also had an opportunity to talk to some of the car owners. To my surprise, they were very friendly and polite when answering people’s questions.Tuesday, August 10, 2010
