Recently, there has been a heck of a lot of talk about Porsche. Whether it is the merge between Porsche and VW or it is just the cars in general – the news has been blowing up with this brand! Now though, we are going to talk about the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder because slowly but surely, this car has wormed its way into my heart and it is certainly a car that I would love to have!
While we are weeks away right now from the LA Auto Show, where this particular car is going to be unveiled, I have to say that the pictures that were just released are enough to tide me over … somewhat. Pretty soon though, the pictures are going to wear off and I am going to need to see this car!
If you are like me – check out autoblog.com, they have a ton of different pictures of the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder!

There are many ways to get the most coverage with your Volkswagen car insurance at a great price. You just have to know what you are doing. One that to keep in mind is that despite the high costs of purchasing a vehicle made by Volkswagen, the insurance premiums are not extremely high when compared to other car makes and models. 
The reason for this is that the car insurance premium depends upon how well the car is built and is not based on initial purchase cost or value. Many assume that things are the other way around and therefore choose insurance policies with less coverage and that can be a problem if something should happen while driving.
There are many insurance companies that offer low cost coverage for cars made by Volkswagen. A big mistake that many drivers make is to under-insure a vehicle, but by comparing several quotes you will be able to get good, affordable coverage for your Volkswagen, regardless of the model. There are a few ways to go about obtaining insurance quotes from several companies. One way would be to talk directly to an insurance broker who will then do the work for you. Another way is to go to one of these great sites with auto quotes where you can just put in some basic information about your car and then you will receive several quotes. Finally, you can go to the individual insurance websites and ask for a quote directly.
There are even online only insurance policies available and these are generally always the cheapest and give you the most coverage for your money. However, this is only a possibility if you can live without some of the benefits of other policies, such as agents or offices to go to when you have an accident.

GM is back in the news and I have to say that while the bankruptcy issue is still news … GM is slowly but surely pulling themselves back out of the drain and they are making quite a few sales and changes. One of the changes that they are doing is they are letting rejected dealers actually apply for new franchises. That way, it can create more jobs for people all over the US.
To me, this is a fantastic, as GM is trying to not only pull themselves out of the drain but they are taking some of the closed down dealerships with them. The move was actually was made because of the tens of thousands of jobs that were being lost due to the fact that these dealerships were closing.
While GM is going to be opening up several new stores all over the US – the dealerships that might be renewed are not being revealed just yet.

We have talked a heck of a lot about all sorts of different cars in this particular blog but I believe that one car that stands out above the rest is the Honda Skydeck Concept – this concept car is actually going to be a hybrid car that is going to be bigger than all of the rest … and it looks pretty damn cool as well.
Honda right now is working very, very hard on this particular concept car as they are trying to come up with an extra electric motor to place into this car so it can have two motors to make it run all that much better – they are also trying to make the Honda Skydeck Concept a completely electric car, which at this point, we have only seen mini-cars as all electric.
Honda is making a pretty cool concept … and they are certainly making headway on the Honda Skydeck Concept!

I have probably mentioned this before, but I am not the biggest fan of Ford vehicles — cars, trucks, vans, I just tend not to like ‘em. Sometimes I do not like the way they look, sometimes I do not like the way they run — you get the idea.
But if I am to be completely honest — and every reviewer worth his or her salt should be, am I right? — I have to admit that there is something about the Ford Iosis MAX that I find a little bit intriguing. Okay, maybe I find something about it a lot intriguing.
For one thing, it looks a little like a space car here — the sliding doors are nothing new, but they look new here, perhaps due to the sleek, sweeping silhouette of the vehicle.
Then again it might just be the spacey color of this particular version that has me tripping, I don’t know. What do you all think?

It is pretty obvious that the 2010 Honda Crosstour has been thrown around quite a lot – there has been a ton of different pictures available online but the inside of the this little car has not been released. Well, I can tell you that inside the 2010 Honda Crosstour is just as beautiful as the outside and here is the picture to prove it!
While I am not all that crazy about the beige color inside, I am pretty sure that this particular car is going to be awesome inside. I mean, the dash alone is beautiful and I have to say that the cargo hold is actually something that I was very interested in.
So if you are looking for a car that looks as good inside as outside, the 2010 Honda Crosstour is the car for you!

The LRX concept from the lines of Range Rover has received a lot of praises in auto show circuits. Land Rover has recently confirmed that the production version of the LRX will be unveiled
to the public by June 17, 2010.
The date may not ring a bell but in the car industry, it marks the 40th anniversary of the first ever Range Rover. Since the LRX will carry the same badge, Land Rover is celebrating the memory and significance of the date.
Insider information also gives us 2011 as the year of production for the LRX and sales of the SUV following afterwards. It will most likely go as a 2012 model. The production of the compact SUV will be done at the Halewood factory in the United Kingdom where the company has about 2000 workers. The same facility was responsible for the LR2 and the X-Type of Jaguar.

Now Saab is a brand of car that I am not exactly familiar with – while there are things that I know about Saab and I know that they make good cars, I’ve never owned one. However, the brand new 2010 Saab 9-5 is totally rocking my world! This is a car that I not only think looks fantastic but I think that it is a car that is going to be hot – hot, hot on the road!
While Saab seemed to be in a funk for a while, I think that the 2010 Saab 9-5 is the car to bring them out of that funk. Not only are the lines so clean and everything in order on this particular car but personally, I think that Saab has outdone themselves … completely!
Also – outside of the car looks good but inside is even better, believe me, I’ve been inside!

It seems like we waited for ever to get some information about the Kia Sorento — something more than those dark, teaser pictures that started making the rounds a while back.
Finally, though, you can see this mid sized SUV pretty much whenever you want to.
And a lot of people are wanted to see a lot of the Sorento, which will be going on sale in the United States later this year.
When the SUV does go one sale, you will be able to get it with one of three different engines. There will be a 2.2 liter, two hundred horsepower diesel engine, a 2.4 liter gasoline engine, and also a 2.7 liter LPI engine. They are all used with a brand new 6 speed manual gearbox.

Now – I think that expecting people to buy something off of eBay is not unrealistic, however do I think that someone is going to buy a brand new flippin’ car off of eBay without ever seeing it, touching it, smelling it? Nope! I don’t and that is exactly why GM is going to eventually have to take down their little eBay store, however … despite the low, low, low take rate of these cars on eBay, GM is going to extend their experiment.
GM has listed somewhere around the lines of sixteen thousand new cars and trucks and only about fifty of those have sold … and probably to someone who does not really give a crap about how the car or truck runs and feels. However, that is not the entire story. Apparently, this is being used as sort of an overflow on the inventory side.
While GM is going to eventually come back strong, I think that they are taking it all wrong by going on eBay to sell their cars.
