Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta Car Review
Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta this is the new Nissan Micra, but it was not the main time we've tested. This can be in our third new reality exposure Nissan Micra: once test-spec auto Thailand in Thailand, and the prototype is almost finished on the track check-in Japan, we finally pushed the British car in the way of England.Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta now is not the British built Micra automotive though - Juke additional benefit is currently engineered at Nissan's Sunderland plant (leaves and electricity may soon become common place in there too). Conversely, Micra rolls out of the factory in China, Mexico, India (which can give Europe), and Thailand, lower labor rates lowered Nissan possibility to establish an advantage in a category where the margins are very famous tight Nissan Micra 1.2 Acenta.
Nissan Rogue SL Car Review (2011)
Nissan Rogue SL Here could be a review of new cars from Nissan, the new Nissan Rogue SL, the car is not a smaller version of Nissan Murano, is technically based on the Nissan Sentra platform. Smaller size SUVs provide such a high seating position and sporty driving. All-new 2011 Nissan Rogue is surprisingly beyond the car drivability and adds practicality of an SUV without sacrificing fuel economy or the cost to enter. Since its introduction as a, model 2008 four years ago, Nissan Rogue has been a great reconciliation for families yearning for cheap crossover that fits your budget. For 2011 Nissan continues to this match with luxury car amenities recently refurbished fashion and some extras too.
Built directly from a car chassis, Nissan Rogue SL has almost nothing in common with a truck. Most manufacturers are swinging aloof from truck-like crossovers, and drawing up the Rogue could be a good thing, particularly when it involves car-like feel, good handling characteristics and good fuel economy.
My new Nissan Rogue SL check car was surprisingly quick for an intersection. traditionally, Nissan has some of the best continuously variable transmissions in the automotive market, that extremely helps power transition, the Rogue’s 170 and one hundred seventy five pounds-feet of torque from its two.5-liter engine 4cyl. The Nissan Rogue has its sweet spots in the power vary, but unfortunately, sometimes, in some delays at highway speeds. initial acceleration is not taken seriously until the CVT decides to go away the engine comes into its power band a few seconds later, that makes alittle to full throttle. The 2011 Nissan Rogue has an estimated 0-60 mph time of 8.6 seconds, that is on par with most of its competition, just like the Honda CR-V, Toyota Rav4 4 cyl, and 4-cylinder Chevy Equinox, for example. A V6 option can be the price tag to form the Rogue the most fascinating to enthusiasts.
The New Nissan Rogue receives further luxury treatment when the acceptable packages are selected. My SL trimmed check vehicle will increase the extent of the base S trim, HID headlights with manual leveling, leather seating surfaces (heated front), auto-dimming mirror view, the climate of self-control, Bose audio system with Bluetooth and GPS navigation, sunroof, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
“Simple” is the middle name of the Nissan Rogue SL is considering as a Nissan-style is subdued during this tiny crossover. whereas Nissan offers a variety of crossover, other offers of ‘lesser’ of the utilitarian Nissan to go away you with a selection of 1 boxy Nissan Cube Juke or funky style. there is little doubt regarding the fashion characteristics of the Rogue has many components taken from other vehicles, just like the Nissan Altima, Murano, and even the 370Z. Those in the market for a crossover style not want boring or overly stated that scream “look at me I’m insecure. What they request {is something|are some things|are a few things} dishonest and Nissan has simply the thing.My Nissan Rogue SL uploaded has tested an estimated price of $ 28,000, but reserve a beginning price of $ 21,210 for the base model. The Nissan Rogue could also be the clearest selection for someone more conservative, but still satisfies any appetite for a crossover elegant car and economical car.

2012 Dodge Durango
2012 Dodge Durango photos, reviews, specs and pricing exterior, interior, engine and cargo
Design
The new 2012 Durango is reportedly a brand new truck from bumper to bumper. The design boasts a much sleeker, aerodynamic form; gone is the oddly-shaped previous generation truck. The result is a much less bloated Durango. The new body is significantly leaner and muscular--and resembles the first Dodge Durango built in the 90's (which was a huge hit), except this one is modern and has some serious attitude. The tail is what's especially interesting. Look closely and you'll recognize a strong resemblance to its corporate cousin--the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The 2012 Dodge Durango, according to Chrysler, will be available in five trims: Express, Crew, CrewLux, R/T, and the flagship-product—the Citadel.
Powertrain and Suspension
Base Durangos get Chrysler’s now-familiar 3.6L Pentastar V6 that’s mated to a five-speed automatic—gas mileage is EPA-projected 16/24. V8 models, sporting the HEMI of course, will have a 5.7L variable-valve timed (VVT) powerhouse—with an EPA of 14/20 cty/hwy and just a hair less in the AWD version. The V6 is worthy of about 290 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque; the V8 pumps out a hardy 360 horses and 390 lb-ft’s of low-end torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard across the board and the sportier AWD system is optional on both V6 and V8 models for around $2,000 extra.
Equipment
The $29,000 base Express model comes with pretty standard fare for this class—a/c, CD stereo, cruise, cloth seats, and so forth. Many people, however, may want to step up to the much better appointed Crew version for a modest $2,500 more; it boasts niceties like front memory seats, backup camera, electronic tailgate, and remote start/stop functionality. Moving up to the CrewLux edition customers get standard features like heated leather seats with memory, an eight-inch touchscreen navigation system, and 20-inch chrome wheels.
The R/T edition—Dodge-talk for "sport"—is tuned for sporty driving and adds other features such as a unique cabin, 20-inch chrome wheels, sport-tuned suspension, sporty instrument cluster, and performance tires. The crème-de-la-crème Citadel is the almost fully-loaded model. It sports all of the features of the CrewLux plus upscale, perforated leather with stitching, H.I.D. headlights, a bold chrome grille, cross-path and blind-spot alert system.
Other options—and standard equipment on certain models—include a 7,400 lb. towing package, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive headlights, rear-seat TV/DVD system, adaptive cruise control (similar to the product found on Mercedes models), and moonroof.
Safety
There are plenty of standard safety measures across the board in the new Durango. Dodge claims there are a total of 45 of them to be exact. Nevertheless, there’s certainly no lack of airbags--with side-mounted, seat-mounted, curtain, and front airbags that flank the cabin. Additionally, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and proactive head restraints are standard. Optional equipment on all but the CrewLux and Citadel includes blind-spot monitoring, cross-path monitoring system, adaptive cruise, frontal collision warning system, and push-button/key-sensing functionality for the ignition system.
2012 Dodge Durango Summary
The 2012 Dodge Durango is rumored to drop the Durango name in favor of 'Magnum' when the SUV goes on sale. Whether it’s ‘Durango’ or ‘Magnum’, the SUV will compete against the following SUV’s: Honda Pilot, GMC Acadia/Chevy Traverse/Buick Enclave (GM clones), and Toyota Highlander.
Set to appear at the L.A. Auto Show this week, the Dodge Durango (or Magnum) is based heavily off Jeep’s award-winning Grand Cherokee. The latter, henceforth, is based off Mercedes’s ML-class. Chrysler and Daimler may have divorced years ago, but Chrysler still has contract rights to certain Mercedes technologies and mechanical implementations. The new Durango, errr Magnum, is expected to hit dealerships in late-2010 as a 2011-2012 model.

The 2012 Dodge Durango is expected to be a continuation of the all-new 2011 Durango. The new Durango is part of Chrysler's immense undertaking in releasing a whole new fleet, including: the recently revamped Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2011 Dodge Challenger, and the 2011 Chrysler 200 and 300 sedans and coupes/convertibles. The previous Durango, as well as its corporate sibling, the failed Chrysler Aspen, was discontinued in 2009. Now, Dodge is attempting to breathe new life into its SUV line.Design

2012 bmw m3
2012 BMW M3 CRT is an M3 GTS with four doors. Read about the new lightweight BMW sports sedan 2012 BMW M3 SPY SHOTS, 2012 BMW M3 SPY SHOTS, 2012 BMW M3 SPY SHOTS, 2012 BMW M3 SPY SHOTS, 2012 BMW,
The X5M and X6M have been announced, and both of them have a juicy twin-turbo V8. The hopped up version of the X6 XDrive48i's engine throws down 555 horsepower and 501 lb-feet of torque. Both of those numbers are FAR ahead of the 500 horsepower and (seemingly paltry in comparison) 383 lb-feet of torque from the current M5's naturally-aspirated V10.
Which is why I have reason to believe that this exact same engine, is destined for the next BMW M5 and M6. It's far less expensive to pump up and turbocharge their oft-used 4.4-liter V8 than to put together a special V10 specifically for the M5 and M6. Turbochargers allow for both high power, MUCH higher torque, and better MPG than the alternative. Not to mention, take a look at the 0-60 times - the BMW M5 throws it down in a claimed 4.7 seconds. The X5M and X6M, porkers both, throw it down in 4.5 seconds, despite being almost 1,000 pounds heavier each than the M5 and M6.
Not to mention, the Cadillac CTS-V threw it down on the M5 for this generation, showing BMW up in a BIG BIG way, and BMW does not want to let the Corvette ZR1-engined monster-Lac have the last laugh.
* 2013 BMW M3 and M4 Engine Specs: It will come with a 3.3 liter V6 with 440 horsepower « Automotive «
* RENDERED: 2013 BMW X1M | WriterParty.com
The rendering below is of the all new 2013 BMW X1M, which hasn't quite left the rumormill yet, but you can file it under the very probable category, consid...
As for the next BMW M3? Compare the current M3's 420 horsepower to the M5's 500. Or the old M3's 340 horsepower to the previous M5's 400. Drop two cylinders, put it together, and it's reasonable to estimate that BMW will hike up the twin-turboed 3.0 I-6 from 300 horsepower to at least 430 (possibly over 450) horsepower and around 400 torque, thus putting BMW in a position to throw down against the Nissan GT-R performance-wise.
Are you against the idea of turbo M's? If so, then realize what BMW already has: Higher performance, better handling, better weight distribution, better MPG. And without having to spend millions on M-specific engine designs, BMW is free to throw its money towards other aspects of the M cars (suspension, brakes, etc), or to other BMW models.
Well, not that you care where BMW throws its money, but I personally enjoy keeping up with what they're doing next. You just want a kickass new M3, M5 and M6. And with turbos, that's exactly what you will get.
So to recap the estimated engine specs:
BMW M5 (and M6): 555 horsepower, 501 foot-lbs torque
BMW M3: 430-450 horsepower, 400-420 foot-lbs torque
Drool at the prospects and enjoy.

I have reason to believe that the next BMW M3, M5 and M6 will be turbocharged. And while some BMW purists now might be lamenting the slow death of the naturally-aspirated BMW, realize that turbocharging is not only the wave of the future, but with turbochargers, you get more power out of less weight, thus leading to better handling characteristics. Now that is true BMW.The X5M and X6M have been announced, and both of them have a juicy twin-turbo V8.
