New Honda CB Twister Launch In India In 100cc Segment

google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad); After creating a lot of ruckus in the 125cc segment, Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India (HMSI) is all set to launch a brand new smaller capacity ‘Stunner’. The new bike would be christened as CB Twister and as the name infers it would be based on the similar platform. As a few of the spied pics suggest, this bike is made to distinguish itself from the already crowded 100cc market and draws its cues from the bigger CB series of bikes. The tank resembles a reworked Stunner’s, red shock absorbers are carried...

Toyota Prius Wagon and SUV

I usually start the article with the good parts of the vehicle that I’m talking about, but this time, I have almost nothing positive to say about how is this car looking. The single good thing that I like at this car is the fact that it is a hybrid. Toyota Prius Wagon and SUV also received the title of the ugliest car in the last 50 years and I agree with that. If you are interested for such a car, you have to know that Toyota Prius Wagon and SUV is coming at the end of 2010 so you don’t have to wait too much. On the internet is no specification about how much power is going to deliver the...

2010 Fiat Doblo

I must admit that until this moment I was not liking at all any Fiat car but now, when I saw this release, it made me think again and then realize that I was so wrong.

Electric Smart Rolling Down the Line

Drum roll please! The electric Smart ForTwo is officially underway at Daimler’s factory in Hambach, France. From an urban mobility standpoint, there’s been a lot to love about the Smart from the get go.

But if you’re of a green bent and you want to get even better “mileage,” so to speak, the car for you arrives soon. We’ve been following the Smart for awhile, from the new car-sharing program in Austin, Texas, to those crazy Dutch treating them like cows and taking Daimler...

Electric Rolls-Royce, In Time For Christmas 2010

Rumors of an electric Rolls-Royce Phantom are back, with the word being the super-luxe automaker could have one on the road within 12 months. We’ve been hearing mumbling about this car for more than a year. It started when CEO Tom Purves said an e-Rolls would be perfect for well-heeled city dwellers. The car, he said, could build upon the drivetrain in the Mini E. The rumors picked up again in September when a Rolls spokesman let slip that an electric Phantom was under consideration back in Goodwood (or, more likely, Munich, since BMW owns Rolls). Now AutocarUK cites an unidentified “company...

Welcome to Iowa. Please Plug In Your Car.

California is the birthplace of the coming EV invasion, but a tiny town in Iowa wants to be the birthplace of a “Pony Express” of charging stations that will keep those cars going. Businessman Mike Howard has erected four charging stations in Elk Horn, a town of 650 people about an hour east of Omaha. He has plans to install four more soon. No, that’s not many at all, and they’re in the middle of nowhere. But Howard says you’ve got to start somewhere, especially if you envision a network of charging stations stretching from Denver to Chicago along Interstate 80. He likens his network to the Pony...

VW Builds the World’s Coolest SUV

The Paris-Dakar Rally is a race so crazy competitors have been taken out by land mines. To say it’s grueling is like saying Carrie Prejean likes shooting video. Just what sort of vehicle is required to take on a race where normal conditions include searing heat, towering dunes, ginormous rocks and weather conditions that would give a crab boat captain pause? Volkswagen has the answer in their new Touareg for the next Dakar. The cars, trucks, bikes and buggies that run in the Dakar rally are tech porn of the highest order. Take a look at what VW has to offer for the 2010 running of the race,...

Porsche Boxster Spyder

I think this is a big step for Porsche or at last this is what I think. The base design of this new Porsche Boxster Spyder is just like at the other Porsche boxsters but this time it has something changed that makes this car to be much more unique and also from now, it will look much better. I don’t say that until now these little sport cars were ugly, no, they are still great but with this car, they made some things at it to look much sexier and also aerodynamics than before. I’m not very good at this but from what I see, they changed the design of headlights, probably at the front bar and...

2011 Nissan GT-R SpecM

I have to tell you that I become a fan of this car not too time ago. It happened when I played for the first time Need for Speed 2 because Nissan GT-R was in the game and I loved to drive it so much. Of course, there is a big difference between driving it in games and driving it on streets. Of course, as you probably think, Nissan GT-R SpecM is an upgraded version of Nissan GT-R that you probably get used with, in the past, as I did. Nissan GT-R SpecM will cost 18,000,000 yen or over $200,000 (more exactly, $202,428 – according to Google converter). Nissan GT-R SpecM isn’t looking very sexy...

Spy Photos: Audi A7

I have not seen until now this type of spy photos so the photographer probably snaked very well and he was in big danger while he made these photos so if you ask yourself why there are not too many photos on the internet, you may now know the answer. This was a testing lab and we’re very lucky to see this 2011 Audi A7 uncovered because on the internet there are another spy photos with this new 2011 Audi A7 captured while it was tested on roads but it was camouflaged. This new car from Audi will come with many choices of motorization. As you get used to, there will be gasoline engines but also...
