Audi wins "All-wheel drive car of the year"

Just rolled out of my sleep number bed and felt like taking a look at some reviews for a new ride. So what did I come a crossed? The "All-wheel drive car of the year". Audi kicking more ass on the auto scene. What else is new?

Audi has extended its winning streak in the readers’ poll held by all-wheel drive specialist magazine “AUTO BILD ALLRAD”, topping two categories for the fourth year in a row. Two Audi models took home the title of “All-wheel drive car of the year 2009”, with the Audi A4 quattro winning the category “All-wheel drive cars between €25,000 and €40,000” and the Audi A6 quattro winning “All-wheel drive cars above €40,000”.

2009 Dodge Avenger R/T Review

the new Dodge Avenger is junior edition of the Dodge Charger in looks, but is a huge upgrade over the dodge Avenger from the 90s.

There's still plenty of life in Chrysler if the 2009 Dodge Avenger is any indication. If the name seems familiar from the mid-90s, only the name is the same. The old Avenger was a joint venture with Mitsubishi, built on the Mitsubishi Eclipse platform. It was replaced by the Dodge Stratus Coupe in 2001, and the new Avenger replaces the Stratus Coupe. But where the old Avenger and the Stratus Coupe were two-door coupes; the current Avenger is a four-door sedan. Certainly not as boring as it sounds, and even ipods owners can get into this ride.

2010 Ford Fusion: America's Most Fuel Efficient Mid-Sized Sedan

Not only are they the most fuel efficient, but they are the most affordable for their type. The new 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, offer the best value in the segment with starting prices of $19,995 and $21,905, including delivery and destination, respectively.

The gas engine-powered and hybrid-electric models make people leap out of their MBT shoes at the difference between the competition in every area that counts. They win the war in fuel economy, power, technology and overall value.

"We've priced Fusion to beat the competition as it does in every area that matters most to customers," said Chantel Lenard, Ford group marketing manager, Global Small and Medium Cars. "This vehicle does more than compete; it aggressively positions Ford to take back its share of the mid-size car segment and sets the tone for the upcoming Taurus and Fiesta launches."
