rolls_royce_200ex_concept_new.jpg
Rolls Royce unveiled the 200EX concept at the Geneva Moor Show earlier this month and now has officially confirmed that the production version, dubbed the RR4 will be powered by a new 6.6L V12 engine that will have "upwards of 500bhp."

The V12 engine will be mated to a new ZF 8-speed transmission.

CEO Tom Purves confirmed the details at a press event in New York where the 200EX is currently starting a world tour. Purves claims that the RR4 will be more involving and dynamic for those owners that would rather drive than be driven.

How to Research a Car

Researching your carFirst thing when investigating cars is to research them. There are many websites to help a person compare and research cars. People can search by price range, miles per gallon the car gets, type of car, year, make, model, exterior color, interior color, number of miles the car has, and many other options. It is important to do a background check on used cars to make sure that it is a reliable car. No one should ever buy a car without its history report. Buying a brand new car is not a good deal. The minute you drive the car off the lot it is worth much less than what you paid for it.

Picking a Car

A car can define who you are and your personality. This is why it is important to pick a color, shape, and style that you like. Some online websites even have applications to match a car to your lifestyle. It is important to like your car because you could have it for a very long time. No one would want to be stuck with a car they don’t like. It is important to like your car because most people spend a lot of time in their cars.

Driving The Car?

After picking a car online or at a dealership, test drive it. Does it feel good? It MUST feel good to you. Never buy a car without test driving it. Carefully inspect every inch of the car. You can get a discount for any scratches or stains the car might have. Check things like the sound of the stereo as well. Do you live in the mountains? Driving a car with rear wheel drive will not be helpful. These things you should already know because of the research you have previously done. Do YOU like the car? It is up to only you no one else.

Finally Buying The Car

The person selling you the car is always asking a high price because they EXPECT you to ask for a lower price. Never settle for the asking price always negotiate.  Finally buy your car and head out on the road. Always have car insurance. Be happy.

Officially Official: Cadillac introduces the new presidential limo

Filed under: , , ,


Click above for a high-res gallery of the Cadillac Presidential Limousine

President Obama will inherit a lot of things when he takes the oath of office on Tuesday. So good, some... not so good. And while his new digs on Pennsylvania Avenue are the same as his predecessors, his ride has been thoroughly refreshed for the 21st century.

With fuzzy spy photos of the new presidential limo out in the open and Obama's inauguration less than a week away, Cadillac has finally released official photos of the Command-In-Chief's new ride. As expected, the new limo inherits Cadillac's current front- and rear-end design cues, but the overused fender vents on civilian Caddies are notably -- and thankfully -- absent. The back compartment where our new CIC sits is equipped with all the communications gear needed to stay in touch, and while we're picturing a few LCD screens, lots of buttons and a big red phone that silently rises from the center console, all we can do is imagine.

As expected, Cadillac hasn't released much in the way of details about what's underneath and inside the behemoth for security reasons. But speculation says that some of the General's heavy-duty truck platforms are used to support the immense mass of armor carried by the Cadillac Presidential Limousine. Of course, GM put out a press release that covers a few of the Caddy's features and includes a brief history of the automaker's involvement with shuttling Presidents around since World War I. Check it out after the jump, along with an unauthorized illustration of what you could find inside -- assuming your Secret Service application wasn't denied.

Toyota Recalls Millions of Vehicles

300204_wheelOnce we hear that there is a recall, we always hope that it’s not going to affect us.  We just don’t want to go through the hassle of getting some fixed, replaced and taking the time to get it looked at.  Although, unfortunately Toyota has done a number that is affecting more than 3 millions cars.  These cars have a recall on them and need to be looked at once the people get the noticed.

If you drive a Toyota and you haven’t received the recall in the mail or have been contacted you probably don’t have to worry about all of this.  Although, just to make sure here is a list of some of the vehicles that have been recalled.

Toyota vehicles that have been recalled:

  • Toyota Camry (2007-2010)
  • Toyota Avalon (2005-2010)
  • Toyota Prius (2004-2009)
  • Toyota Tacoma (2005-2010)
  • Toyota Tundra (2007-2010)
  • Lexus ES350 (2007-2010)
  • Lexus IS250 and IS350 (2006-2010)

As you can see, there are quite a few different cars that have been recalled.  These cars range from Toyota to the Lexus’.  If your vehicle falls into this list, you may want to contact a dealership and see if yours might need to be looked at.

So what’s the recall for?

There might be millions of vehicles that have been recalled (3.8 million to be exact), but to be honest, it’s something pretty simple.  What the company wants is for the drivers of the vehicles to simply take out the floor mats.  Why?  It is been said that they might get close to the accelerator and get stuck leaving the pedal to be pushed accidentally.  So, for now you will want to remove your floor mat in the driver’s seat until they come up with something that is going to solve the problem.  We’re not sure how long this is going to take.  Although, thankfully it’s something as simple as a floor mat and something that doesn’t affect how the car drives!
