Hey, Subaru isn’t that bad. Compared to other smaller giants in the automotive industries around the world, Subaru was able to take the competition in stride by being consistent. A Subaru handles remarkably well, especially in city driving. The Subaru Legacy plans to up the ante by providing more interior space (by minimizing tire size).
The Subaru Legacy can provide much need knee room for about four adults. That’s enough space- you can squeeze in around five people if you can tolerate having someone’s elbow in your kidney for a few hours. Just kidding.
The headlights use LED lights (most of the new models do), so the lights themselves are brighter and have longer lives. And you have television panels inside! Cool!

Nissan is currently rocking other automotive giants with fifteen new car models. Though not all of these would be retailed globally to all countries (South America and South East Asia included), the beauties are still a remarkable sight.
You can’t really get tired of looking at Nissans- they have this traditional, clean look that fits well in a company parking lot as well as a home garage. It never clashes with any pattern of lines, so you can streak and park as you wish without really standing out. Nissan is also offering plenty of after-sales parts and accessories. Ready to customize your own Nissan? Well, you have to cough up some dough to make your drive more thrilling.

It’s not fair that only our brothers and sisters in Japan would get to drive the new Nissan GT-R Spec V. Personally, we think that the revamped Nissan lines are a thing to adore. Smaller and more streamlined, a Nissan is no luxury car, but it can feel like it once you get the hang of the handling.
For the longest time, Nissan motoring has always been about speed and efficiency. Though the designs rarely vary beyond what’s already been released beforehand, the GT-R SpecV looks promising, with its carbon fiber seats, multi-dimensional design and its speed. It has built-in twin turbochargers too! The GT-R SpecV sells for 15 million yen. We wonder how the SpecV handles in drifting. Tokyo Drift!

Citroen’s has just released the New Look Citroen C1 on the UK market. This compact car emphasizes a new, smart look for 2009. With nicer trims and brighter body colors, the C1 has also been able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and is more economical on fuel burning.
The dynamism apparent in the C1 is definitely for the road warriors of the new century- compact and speedy, it really is a “get up and drive away” car. Designed for mostly country and urban driving, the C1 can capture the hearts of anyone who thinks smaller is cooler and cuter. The C-line is affordable for nearly anyone- if you can shell out seven thousand sterling pounds.

Sedans are definitely in, and we take our hats off to the guys at Buick who’ve really made this one a majestic sight to behold. The Buick Lacrosse has a mundialist design that will look good in Europe, in Asia or in some street in New York. The inside of the sedan is lit by blue lighting (ambient). This sedan has also been fitted with plenty of guiding technologies to automate most activities, such as parking.
This sedan runs on automatic transmission and dual overhead engines (cool, very cool). The technological precession comes from the victory of the Enclave model. The internal and external designs can be described as quite sculpted, and has been the result of collaborations between teams and resources in both the United States and Mainland China.

When we look at this car, we’re reminded (no, really we are) of: a golf car, Asimo the robot on a bad day or a bad Disney-Isaac Asimov story tie up. What were they thinking? Who’s going to drive something that looks like a oversized kiddy car?
Anyway, maybe they have good reasons for making this car too rounded (and in the process, comically funny). The epic battle for the green car crusade is making impressions on most car manufacturers and so Toyota released this plug-in car.
One of the first this year, this hybrid can travel 50 miles with no problem. Toyota is focusing on making the car a fit companion for urban dwellers whose lives are tied to binary points (school and house, et cetera)

You want class? We’ll give you class! The Mercedes E-Class that is. The new Mercedez E-Class boasts of one particular benefit- up to more than 23% in fuel savings. That’s a big feature, especially when you’re driving a high-torque, big-engine fuel guzzler. But don’t get us wrong, we just love the new E-Class. It’s classy, has a safe drive and supposedly handles well in slick, ice-packed or gravelly roads.
The new E-Class has GPS technology and built in parking and driving assistants. These gizmos will surely make the driving part a bit more safe. And hey, there’s an Automatic Main Beam Assist and a computer-controlled automatic breaking system when impact does happen. That’s something you can’t really place a price on- lives can be saved, indeed. What do you think?

Talk about luxury- the Maybach Landaulet, the fifth of what seems to be a progressive line of saloons from Maybach has been unveiled. This saloon/sports car/luxury car has a folding roof (for the passengers in the rear), open-air approach. And of course, if you want the car serviced, Maybach has a bunch of engineers to cater to your every whim. We don’t know about you, but this seems to be just too much of a good thing.
Like going first class from the US to Greece, the Landaulet aims to please with its comfortable interiors and crazily comfortable seats and leather-upholstered interiors. The seats are even adjustable pneumatically (like old barber’s chairs). There’s a partition too! (For making out, so the driver won’t see?)

Another wonderful sportscar from no less famous Jaguar. We wonder why this mean machine somehow looks like an eighties model with the rounded headlights and the slightly snub-nosed exterior. In any case, we’d probably forget about the exterior with the wonderful leather interiors (which were probably designed to draw a “Wow!” from any crowd).
The car uses a 5.0 Direct Injection engine technology for top speeds reaching up to more than 300 kilometers/hour. Even if it’s not a “green car”, Jaguar states that this one has reduced emissions and has a cleaner and more efficient burn. We all hope that’s true, because gas prices are still shaky. Jaguar offers a personalization program so you can buy tons of accessories to really make the Jaguar yours.

This one reminds us of the notorious James Bond “invisible car” before the new James Bond movies came in. (Maybe there’s a hidden switch in there for missiles?) This compact, mean roadster is planned to be released this year by German manufacturer Volkswagen. Efficiency is the top priority for any car with the Volkswagen mark- which is why this car has been installed with a 180 PS Clean Diesel Engine.
The car’s been designed with a very linear flow (helps with the aerodynamics at high speeds). Slightly shorter than the Audi Sportback (4 meters) the Volkswagen Bluesport can reach 100 kilometers/hour in just 7 seconds. Not bad for a roadster, considering that the closest competitor in terms of speed is a larger Ford concept car.
