Mugen reportedly considering tuning Honda CR-Z

Are you one of those people that have been dying to buy the Honda CR-Z?  Well – you might want to hold off on that because Mugen is actually toying with the idea of actually creating a high performance vehicle that is going to be based off of the up and coming Honda CR-Z.

Now, if you know Honda, you know that they are a fantastic automaker and their cars are known for the body work as well as the engine best.  If actually designed the Honda CR-Z and they believe in it – I think that we should just go with the Honda CR-Z, don’t you?

However – Mugen is actually thinking about tuning up the Honda CR-Z and making it that much better.  It’s up to you though!

Nissan LeafSo how cute is this car? The Nissan Leaf was unveiled quite recently, at Nissan’s brand new headquarters, located in Japan.

The Leaf is a C segment, electrical powered vehicle capable of holding five passengers. Its platform is brand new as well.

It is characterized primarily by its front end, which is shaped like a vee. Reviewers thus far love its LED headlamps as well, which are long and slant upwards. They are made to split, thus causing airflow to redirect away from the mirrors on the door.

Inside the vehicle, the cabin has a floating center stack which has been classified as elegant and has a black lacquer finished — tres chi chi!

Ferrari 599 in cracked porcelain by Lu Hao

What is the one car that everyone in the world wants?  Well, if you are me, I can tell you that you want the Ferrari 599 – but done up in a cracked porcelain finish.  Did you know that they could do that?  Well, I didn’t and that is why this beautiful special edition Ferrari 599 debuted for the Chinese market specifically and it was done up by Lu Hao.

This one of a kind special Ferrari 599, as mentioned was done up by Lu Hao and I have to say that he did all of this by hand – which is incredible!  He decked it out in a cracked glaze pattern and this particular Ferrari 599 is actually signed by the artist as well.

In Beijing, this particular car is going to be auctioned off on November 3rd, so you certainly should check it out!

Ford C-Max

In this day and age, Ford is certainly the car of choice and it is certainly the brand that everyone trusts.  After all, Ford has been through so much and I have to say that it is a car brand that I – in particular – trust.  Have you seen what Ford has been brewing in Dearborn though?  Have you seen the brand new Ford C-Max?  Well – it is going to be awesome.

This car is going to make another debut in Frankfurt, as it was originally debuted in the US at the Detroit Auto Show this year.  However – the latest buzz on this car is that it is one of the most anticipated car in the US.  The Ford C-Max – is hot also.

I mean, the body work alone is something that I absolutely love – for it looks fantastic and then you get into the mechanics of it?  Oh, the Ford C-Max is hot – beautiful and absolutely the best as soon as it is released!

Polo, Anyone?

Volkswagen PoloWhat will Volkswagen come up with next? On the evening before the Geneva Motor Show some months ago, VW revealed the fifth generation of the Polo supermini. This thing is absolutely adorable.

Its overall design is more contemporary and much sharper.

Somehow, it looks both roomy and compact.  More than that, it looks like it would be a dream to drive.  I typically like smaller cars myself; I feel like, for me, they are easier to manage.

This suits that preference to a tee.  Seriously, I would love to have this car, and who knows — knowing VW, even with the newer items, it might actually be affordable, right?

Well, a VW lover can dream, anyway, but we are going to have to keeping waiting and seeing for a while yet.

Cruise in the Kizashi: Suzuki’s Flagship

Suzuki KizashiFor those drivers who go crazy for a flagship vehicle, the Suzuki Kizashi should definitely be right up your alley. The Kizashi is Suzuki’s very first entry into the classification of all wheel drive sport sedan vehicles. Three concept vehicles with the very same name were unveiled by Suzuki over the course of the past two years. They seem to have come together to create the Suzuki Kizashi, the idea behind which was to combine a first rate design and style aesthetic with a likewise dynamic, premier performance.

On the outside, the design of the Suzuki Kizashi is quite conservative. Some accounts describe the car as being a blend of Japanese craftsmanship with European style, and that is pretty dead on. The exterior is actually an interpretation — revised, of course — of the former concept vehicles.

Naturally, the interior contains all the features one expects from a flagship. It is much more upscale and elegant than the interiors of most other Suzuki vehicles.

2010 Lexus HS 250h: It’s One Hot Car!

2010 Lexus HS 250hIf there is know thing that I know about cars – it is the fact that the hybrid cars are certainly in the highest demand possible.  Toyota is definitely one company that is producing some of the best hybrid cars on the market – for example, the Prius is certainly in very, very high demand.  However, we are talking about the 2010 Lexus HS 250h right now.  This is one car that is in such high demand in Japan that Toyota might not actually be able to provide everyone with one of these beautiful luxury cars.

The 2010 Lexus HS 250h originally started with a target of five hundred sales per month, however with the number of government-backed sales incentives as well as tax breaks, the 2010 Lexus HS 250h has been boosted up in demand.  Just last month, 10,000 orders were taken for the first month in Japan.  Think about that … that is a huge, huge number there!

The target price for the 2010 Lexus HS 250h is about $35,075 and while that is not the cheapest hybrid on the market, it is certainly one of the best right now!

The New 2010 Mazda CX-7 MZR-CD!

2010 Mazda CX-7 MZR-CDWhen I think of green cars – the first company in my head always is Toyota.  While that is my default company, the next company that I usually think of is Ford and Mazda is not a company that I usually think about for hybrid cars.  However, the brand new and redesigned 2010 Mazda CX-7 MZR-CD is slowly but surely emerging as one of the premium cars that is green.  This is the first Japanese brand diesel that will feature a selective catalytic reduction system.

What this means is that it will use a urea injection to convert NOx emissions to nitrogen and water, which is honestly the best thing for the environment.  It is a different approach, but it is an approach that I think that the 2010 Mazda CX-7 MZR-CD is taking for a good reason.  The great thing about this particular car is that we are getting a sneak peak, for this beauty is not supposed to debut until next month!

So if you want a brand new car that is a little on the greener side, the 2010 Mazda CX-7 MZR-CD is going to be the car for you!

2010 Porsche 911 TurboThe movies are the places that have all of the cool cars – I mean, the Porsche is a brand that is constantly in the movies and if it is the brand you get if you want to feel like a movie star.  Well, Porsche is coming out with a brand new car, the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo – this car is not just another Porsche classic either, it is a car that is so full of power and so beautiful, I swear that you are going to want one.

The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo has been redone completely and to be honest – it is one car that I am okay with being redone.  The engine, while good is now a 3.8-liter with directed injected flat-size from the Carrera S. Coupled and has two variable-vane turbos.  The horsepower on the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo?  It’s up to 500 HP and because it is fuel injected, the mileage has been improved on as well!

If you are looking for luxury and fast – all tied up with a bow, the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo is going to be the car that you should take a look at … it is hot and fast!

Acura RDX

Personally – I have been fine with the way that the Acura RDX has been performing, however – unlike me, a lot of people truly want this car to be remade.  Finally, the 2010 Acura RDX is actually going to be getting quite the makeover and this beautiful car is going to look and feel different.  While the 2010 Acura RDX is actually not a hugely popular car, it is still popular with enough folks that they thought to make a brand new car. 

Now, the powertain of this particular compact has carried over intact and it will still come with a turbocharged 240 HP 2.3-liter four with a very good 260 lb-ft of torque however, the new six-speed automatic is likely going to be fitted in the 2010 version.  This car is definitely going to break a lot of rules and the speed on it is totally going to rock.

Not to mention the bodywork that has been done on the 2010 Acura RDX – it looks beautiful!  I think that people should just leave it alone now … seriously, it looks great!
