Rolls-Royce Phantom Electric — Could Be Here Sooner!

Hybrid Cars No Comments »

Rolls-Royce Phantom Rumors – that is all I am hearing about right now and we are going to add some more fuel to the fire of the rumormill and tell you that the electric Rolls-Royce Phantom might actually hit the streets in as little as 12 months!  Right now, BMW – which is Rolls-Royce’s parent company have been getting very involved in EV technology and the Rolls-Royce Phantom would be the best choice to launch this new technology onto.

Since Rolls-Royce Phantom owners right now usually like to be driven versus actually driving, the EV Phantom seems to make sense on a lot of different levels.  Not only given the sheer size of the car but also – this car is expensive and looks incredible.

If you have been waiting for the entirely-electric Rolls-Royce Phantom – I can tell you that it is just around the corner!

Car Wash News: Naked Australians Reportedly Arrested At Car Wash!

auto news No Comments »

aussie_carwashOkay, so we have this thing at work every period where you can spin a wheel and win prizes.  I won a car wash.  When you think about a car wash, you go through the wash and have someone towel dry it most of the time right?  Well, in Australia it has to be different because I guess naked Australians were actually arrested at a recent car wash!

According to our friends at autoblog.com, a group of four men and their girlfriends pulled up to a Smart Wash in Biloela, Queensland Australia and they paid for the service.  They left their cars outside, took off their clothes and soaped up in the station while their special lady friends actually snapped photos.

This – in America would not go down at all, but really, it does sound pretty hot doesn’t it?

GM to offer in-vehicle WiFi on select models

auto news No Comments »

GM to offer in-vehicle WiFi on select modelsIn this day and age, we all seem to be glued to our cell phones or worse, our laptops.  I know that personally – I have been waiting for an automaker to come up with some way to incorporate WiFi into my car and now – now they have.  GM is actually thinking about making this a standard on a few models, which to me is pretty cool!

Autonet is the name of it and it is actually a device that is going to in your car.  The full price for installation of this particular device is about $500.00, but it could become a standard eventually on every car if the popularity keeps up – which it should!

If you are looking for Autonet cars, you might want to check out GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac cars.

The Infiniti Essence Concept: Infinitely Hot!

Nissan No Comments »

infiniti-essence-conceptAh, the Infiniti Essence concept, part of the celebration for the twentieth anniversary for that favorite luxury brand, Nissan Infiniti — of course. This is a dramatic, two seater coupe, featuring the classic proportions of the ever popular GT along with current elements known in the Infiniti brand.

This concept is the work of individual global competition; great minds were at work to create the stunning, smooth, sleek design of this car.

To me, this car almost looks too elegant, luxurious, and sophisticated to even belong to the Nissan name.  It almost looks like it should be coming from Porsche or something — or maybe I am just naive, I do not know.

Still, I am definitely not going to deny that this is one hot car, with plenty of sleek lines and a smooth silhouette.

BMW C1-E Concept: Check It Out!

BMW No Comments »

BMW C1-E Concept So, I think that BMW certainly has the right … the best concept in the world, for it is not only just a scooter but it is a scooter that can really go anywhere and has an electric engine, so it is very eco-friendly and safe.  The BMW C1-E Concept is right now, just a concept and while I love this little rider, I think that it might need some work.

Between 2000 and 2003, BMW released a similar scooter and it was not all that safe … only because if you got into an accident, you were most likely screwed.  Now though, the BMW C1-E Concept has tire pressure control, anti-slip control and traction control – so safety is definitely there!

If you are wondering what exactly you would use this scooter for, think about it … you could ride it to work, the store – so many different places!

The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Is Hottttt!

Porsche 1 Comment »

2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS So I know that I have wrote about the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS before and honestly – this is a car that I thought looked cool, until I noticed the red … everything about this car was cool until the red came into place!  However – in person, the red does not look too bad.  Against the slate gray of this particular car, it actually looks pretty damn cool!

Now – I know that you all want the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, however.  I have to say that it is going to cost you.  The money that you sink into getting this car could wreck your life, drain your bank account or even your 401K and – while it might seem worth it, let’s face it … it is!

The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is awesome!  It is so awesome that it really, really is the car of the friggin’ year!

What’s Up with the Hyundai Blue-Will Concept?

auto news No Comments »

hyundai-blue-will-conceptNo, but really — what is this thing?  Okay, okay, I know what it is – it’s the Hyundai Blue-Will concept car.  Cool beans, I got that.

But what the french, toast?  It boggles my mind, but at the same time, I think it might be the coolest car I have ever seen.  It looks like my stereo.  Seriously, my stereo has lights just like that.

Yeah, those blue ones there?  Hottt stuff, especially when paired with this particular paint job — I am an absolute sucker for silver and blue.

It is cunnin as a cat a runnin, really — the compact size we have by and large come to expect from Hyundai, along with some appropriately edgy design cues.

2010 Toyota Prius’s Sales Have Increased!

auto news No Comments »

2010 Toyota Prius Oh the 2010 Toyota Prius – how I love you and think that you are the greatest car in the world.  Honestly – I am not the only one that has those thoughts, no sir, the great thing about the 2010 Toyota Prius.  Everyone and their mom loves it!  This particular car is one of the only cars that actually had a raise on their sales last month, but a whopping 48%, which is absolutely saying something for just how many people truly love the 2010 Toyota Prius.

For those that are actually looking for the number of 2010 Toyota Prius’s sold?  Well, over nineteen thousand – yes, 19,000+ were sold just last month and while the Cash for Clunker program has absolutely helped the sales, I think that overall, the 2010 Toyota Prius is certainly the car of the flippin’ year.

If you are looking for a chic and sleek looking car that is not only fantastic on gas but will save you a bunch of money, the 2010 Toyota Prius is it!

Fiat 500 Abarth by Karl Schnorr: It’s Upgraded!

auto news No Comments »

Fiat 500When it comes to the Fiat 500 – we all know that it is going to be one hell of a car, however – what can they do to improve it?  Well, Karl Schnorr really believes that he can improve the Fiat 500 with all sorts of different upgrades.  The partnership between Fiat and Chrysler is a great one and that is exactly what has our interest hooked – simply because we think that we can improve on the Fiat 500.

The Fiat 500 has an above-standard engine already inside of it, for it produces about 133 HP, however with some upgrades you can push that horsepower up to about 185, which is something that is pretty damn cool!  You can also mount this beauty on 17-inch rims and the overall look of the Fiat 500 with the upgrades will be better off, trust me.

Fiat 500 is one car that I have fallen deeply in love with over the years and the fact that they keep making it better and better is awesome!

2009 Concours d’LeMons: It’s A Radio Flyer!

auto news No Comments »

2009 Concours d'LeMonsTo be honest – I never, ever tire of cars.  I could talk about them all day and I think that they are honestly one thing that is a safe topic – as long as you stay away from American vs. Foreign mind your.  However, the coolest thing about cars it that there is an endless possibility to make something drive – this Radio Flyer ‘car’ is just one example of that fact.

This ‘car’ was debuted in the first annual Concours d’LeMons.  This is basically a convention to celebrate everything from eyesores to strange and different cars – this Radio Flyer car is just one of the cars that I think is awesome.  The fact that someone took something so – so classic and turned it into a huge car is awesome!

Now, this thing actually does drive, however it does not get up to a lot of speeds and honestly … you can not take it on the freeway, but it is a car that you can use to get around!
