Rolls-Royce is feeling it and may be well on the way to double their sales figures this year while leaning on the popularity of their Ghost model and a resurgence of the demand of its market for high end cars across the globe.

The sales of the brand in China also see a first time as its seven dealerships will exceed the sales in their home market. China might overtake the United Kingdom as the 2^nd biggest market of Rolls-Royce after the United States.

Insiders are foreseeing a big growth in the Chinese market while rebounding in sales performance in the US is also expected for this year.

In the UK, Rolls-Royce was able to get a 50% jump in figures. This was attributed to the launch of the new Ghost last December. The model is the smallest car in the Rolls-Royce garage and is the lowest-priced in their line up too.

The Ghost has a tag price starting at $250,000 compared to the $380k through $450K sticker prices of their Phantom flagship model.

The numbers from the Middle East, which has been a strong market, are showing some signs of how the market reacted to the financial crisis of Dubai. But the brand though still remains optimistic for the recovery of this market.

The global sales of Rolls-Royce doubled the volume of last year’s sales. From January through May, the luxury brand was able to deliver 678 cars.

Choosing a safe car is hard.  Face it, half of the time you have no idea what features you are looking for in the way of a safe car.  That is what research is all about though, finding out exactly what features you should be looking at.  For one – you want to make sure that you are looking into what type of airbags are going to be in the car.

This is important information, especially if you get into a car accident.  You also want to make sure that you are looking into anti-lock brakes, for that can actually save your life because they will not lock on you when you are pumping them.

Finally, you want to make sure that the car has rear parking sensors so that you do not get into an accident whenever you are backing up!

The color of your car is one of those things that people have to think long and hard about half of the time.  To be honest, I have to think long and hard about a lot of the color choices that are out there but it seems that pink is popping up everywhere lately.  You want a chic and fashionable looking car?  Then you’ve got to get it in pink.

Pink is definitely one color that is hot and seems to certainly be showing up on the streets of New York and everywhere else.  Now, it is not the typical pink either, it is the bright and brilliant pink that makes you stand out.

Pastels and drab colors are out lately and the bright and poppy colors like pink are in!

I do not remember a whole lot from chemistry, mainly because I was horrible at it and because I hated the subject — but I do remember quite a bit about protons and electrons. However, I don’t think my dry old chemistry professor had this particular concept in mind when he was droning on and on about protons.

“This,” by the way, is the Proton concept, which comes to us courtesy of Italdesign Giugiaro. It is part of an entire family of vehicles specifically designed to have a low environmental impact. They are to be created in conjunction with the Proton company, a manufacturer working out of Malaysia.

This is the first of those series, revolving around a hybrid drive system, and it will be unveiled at the motor show in Geneva.

Do you remember way back when, when we first heard about the BMW X6 ActiveHybrid and just how disappointed you probably were about the numbers of HP and torque?  Well, I can tell you for sure that they are actually fixing the problem and lightening the BMW X6 ActiveHybrid on up, which in turn will make it go faster and work better all around.

BMW is known to produce some of the best cars in the world and they are known for their cars being well-built.  Well, that can actually be their catch 22, as they want to make a fantastic car but you also want it to be lightweight.

Personally, I think that with the BMW X6 ActiveHybrid they have done a really good job though!

You might have seen the brand new 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT debut in 2008, but in the two years of development, this particular Acura has actually gone through quite a change and has switched gears all over again.  This is a car that I have fallen for many, many times over again … and I am doing it again.

If you want a dependable car that looks sleek and beautiful, the 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT is definitely the car for you.  The cool thing about it is not only that it looks expensive but that it is very affordable and runs incredible!

You want a car that has quite a bit of horsepower behind it, the 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT is definitely it!

When you are driving in the snow, I can promise that it is not only one of the hardest things in the world to do but what happens when you get stuck?  Well, for me, this winter, I have been stuck three times already this winter and it is not even the end of the month!

So what do you do when you get stuck in the driveway?  Well, I can tell you for sure there are many different things that you can do.  Firstly, you want to remember that you do not want to spin your wheels, this will only dig you in deeper.

You also want to make sure that you turn your wheels from side to side a few times just to push the snow out of the way.  Use a light touch on the gas and I can promise it will most likely ease your car out of it.

When you think about it – GM has had quite a year.  I mean with all of their progress and they are going to be paying back their debts and now – they have announced that two weeks from now, they are going to start running their Fairfax assembly plant continuously and on a permanent basis.

Do you know what that means?  Well, that means that there are going to be a heck of a lot more jobs and the production is going to be fantastic.  The reason for it is so that production does go up from 4,500 units up to 6,300 units over the same time period.

Although running a plant like this 24 hours is going to be hard, it is definitely going to be worth it in the long run.

Here’s a quick video of Vanessa Rousso’s brand new Lamborghini Gallardo.

This girl can play poker; this girl knows cars and this girl looks amazing. The Duke-graduate is looking forward to great 2010 – and I’ll be here rooting for her. Go Vanessa!

Oh, the Mansory Cypress – the beautiful, beautiful Mansory Cypress.  This is a car that is not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well and I can tell you for sure that the Mansory Cypress is one of the most highly anticipated cars in the world right now.

However – the pictures are limited!  That is … until autoblog.com researched and found the release of many pictures of the Mansory Cypress on the road.  To me, this is a car that is not only awesome looking on the road but a car that I honestly can not wait to drive personally.

You want carbon?  This all carbon fiber car is certainly the best looking and when it was at the Frankfurt show – it gleamed and beamed!
