The Most Popular.

Each year brings us the top of the most popular, most economy and most fuel-efficient or greenest cars vehicles. The rankings determined by the number of automotive experts, cars sellers and buyers have shown that Mazda and Toyota are a success permanently. And it’s no wonder because their many years circulation in the automotive market is a living proof of quality and performance that catch the interests and attentions of various auto users and aficionados from all generations. It also helps to make the fastest-growing full-line automotive brands in whole world last years. The Mazda CX-9 were chosen as the car and truck of the year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The winners were selected by a jury of 46 automotive journalists from the United States and Canada. Jurors have considered a variety of factors, including innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value.



The Mazda 6 is from these automobiles which distinction in the affordable midsize class can be earned as a sporty, stylish alternative to the somewhat conservative class-leading competition. Also the car has very attractive pricing and this is supplementary key reason to choose this sedan over midsize models. Motor Trend writes, "The Mazda 6 delivers a lot of sporty car for the money, especially when compared with Japanese rivals that usually cost more when equally equipped." And it seams that Mazda does not just promise to put the soul of a sports car into everything it makes but it actually delivers on that promise.

And what about turbo-diesel engine cars? So, the car vehicle that offers both better performance and fuel efficiency in addition to higher equipment levels and overall better value is Land Cruiser Toyota Prado of course, Toyota has delivered on its commitment of taking a position of leadership in responding to the needs of the four-wheel-drive market. As a result Toyota took the global sales lead from General Motors in the first quarter of 2008, capitalizing on growth in China and Europe. The new standard offers the choice of manual or automatic transmission, ABS anti-lock brakes, cruise control and a leather gearshift lever.

Mercedes GLK 2009.

Mercedes-Benz has not be waiting till the 2008 Beijing China Auto Show that is scheduled to start on April 20 in Beijing, the Chinese and published first images and details of the new version of small crossover SUV - Mercedes-Benz GLK.
The smallest SUV ever to come from Mercedes shed its camouflage to reveal styling details and confirm some basic specifications. Built on the same chassis as the compact C-Class sedan, the GLK shows a wheelbase and overall length similar to the C-Class. This should put the GLK right in line with other entry-level luxury sport-utilities like the BMW X3 and Land Rover LR2.



Chassis-related changes over the C-class 4Matic include a new steering rack, bigger brakes, and a modified independent suspension that permits more wheel travel for extra axle articulation. A handling package (adaptive dampers, quicker steering, fatter antiroll bars) will be available, and wheel sizes should top out at twenty inches. Curb weight should fall between 3400 and 3700 pounds.

The U.S. market likely will see the following models: the GLK280 V-6 4Matic (228 hp); the GLK350 V-6 4Matic (268 hp); and the GLK320 CDI V-6 4Matic (221 hp). All will be fitted with a seven-speed manu-matic. Of course, no Mercedes-Benz lineup would be complete without an AMG version, so the near-500-hp GLK63 AMG 4Matic should come along shortly thereafter.

I’ve written already about announced in Detroit the 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06, which designation refers to the cubic-inch displacement for the highest-performance engines offered between 1966 and ’69 with the first ever offered a red metallic tint coat paint. This is really highest performance production car in Chevrolet and GM history. “The heritage of the 427 designation with the Corvette is legendary,” said Harlan Charles, Corvette product manager. “Recognizing the tie-in of the original 427 engine and the LS7’s 427-inch displacement has been on the Corvette team’s mind since the Z06 was introduced, and we’re thrilled to express it in this special model.”

Suzuki Concept Kizashi 3

Suzuki announced that new concept car called the Concept Kizashi 3 will be introduced at the New York Auto Show in two weeks.

The Concept Kizashi 3 will represent the completion of the Kizashi concept series as well as providing a closer-to-production vision of a future Suzuki sport sedan offering.



First Suzuki Kizashi Concept we have met at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, next the Kizashi Concept 2 - at the Tokyo Motor Show. At the New York Auto Show later this month, we'll meet the Concept Kizashi 3, the most production feasible Kizashi concept to date and the last one in the series. Cast in the form a sport sedan, the Concept Kizashi 3 portends a future performance four-door for the Japanese brand, and we're down with that given Suzuki hasn't played in this space with a decent offering, like, ever. We have no other information on Suzuki's big debut for New York, so no word on what powers it, which wheels are driven or what the interior's like, but we'll find out soon enough when Autoblog goes to Gotham.

Nissan Murano 2009.

Nissan took the wraps off its 2009 Murano crossover in Los Angeles. This auto calls the all-new model a "super-evolution" of the first-generation Murano.

Murano crossover first went on sale in 2003 as a 2004 model and helped popularize the crossover segment. The Japanese automaker is obviously hoping to build on that success with the substantially reworked 2009 Murano making its world bow the 2007 Los Angeles auto show.



The crossover features a new exterior and interior, more standard technology, and an improved driving experience thanks to a new platform — the new Altima's "D" architecture, to be exact. New Murano design includes an available dual panel power sliding glass moonroof and 2nd row skylight. Other available Murano features include a new foldaway cargo organizer, heated front and rear seats, power liftgate, rain-sensing front wipers and RearView Monitor.

Good Coverage by Reasonable Price.

As a rule many auto manufacturers offer the standard three-year or 36,000 miles new cars protection warranties and only some of them such as Acura, BMW, Cadillac, Volvo, Saab, Mercedes, Lincoln, Lexus and Jaguar provide four-year or 50,000-mile ones. Majority of consumers prefer to buy extended warranties when they buy cars or other appliances and that is normally. Extended car warranty also called as service contract provides extended service agreements directly to consumers avoiding dealership markups and designed to protect customer against the costs of sudden breakages of the motor vehicle. There are several most common types of warranties and service programs such as warranties limited and unlimited, extended warranties, certified vehicles.

As regards used-car buyers they have to pay attention that not all factory warranties get transferred at the time of purchase. So in case you have bought a used car without getting an auto extended warranty, you perhaps think about purchasing ones as long as the vehicle is within certain mileage limits and that is normally. Now using the internet you have great chance to get the answer to any your question and comparing prices to pick up the most comprehensive auto extended warranty right now, online. You must admit that it is much better to know exactly what to expect instead of to be nasty surprised with sudden and unforeseen failure of specified component and to find out that it was in the excluded section of your contract. Anyway extended warranty is good deal in case it offers good coverage at a reasonable price of course.
