BMW X5 M and X6 M Prices and BMW Buyer's Guide

IF you have the money, or you are just going to splurge you may as well do the research to get the car you will love.

The BMW is a car of class, and performance. The anticipation of the X5 M and X6 M are obviously vehicles people are waiting for. The pricing has been announced, and it looks like when the X5 M and X6 M go on sale this fall as 2010 model vehicles, they will retail for $86,225 and $89,725 respectively (including $825 Destination & Handling). Here are some specs.

Also, while I was wandering around I found a handy BMW Buyer's Guide. Give you a bit more to go on than just reviews, as it compares them all and gives you the best idea for what fits you.

2009 Ford Fiesta Steals Europe's Top Spot



If you were going to be doing a bit of cad drawing for a super sweet automobile you probably wouldn't be dreaming up a Ford Fiesta, but that doesn't mean that people aren't buying it.

ATO Dynamics’ monthly analysis of the European new car market is showing, for the first time in a year, the hugely popular Volkswagen Golf has lost its strangle hold as Europe’s most popular model, handing the accolade to Ford’s well received new Fiesta. The Fiesta’s success is set against an overall European new car market which fell 9.0% (or 147,965 units) in March 2009 compared to March 2008, to a total of 1,488,386 units. Year-to-Date the market fell 16.9% (or 691,350 units) compared to the same period last year, to a total of 3,401,473 units.

2010 Infiniti G37 Convertible Review



The 2010 Infiniti G37 Convertible comes to the table with these specs"

Model: 2010 Infiniti G37 Convertible
Engine: 3.7-liter DOHC V6
Horsepower/Torque: 325 hp @ 7,000 rpm/267 lb.-ft. @ 5,200 rpm
Transmission: 6-speed manual/7-speed automatic
Wheelbase: 112.2 in.
Length/Width/Height: 183.3 x 72.9 x 55.1 in.
Tires: P225/50R18 (F)/P245/45R18 (R)
Cargo volume: 10.2/2.0 cu. ft. (top up/down)
Fuel economy: 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway (AT)
Fuel capacity: 20.0 gal.

Everything about the 2010 Infiniti G37 is top notch. It looks great, it has the tech anyone would love, has the power and handling for a fun drive, but has a bad marketing strategy. According to the review it is said that the marketing for the Infiniti G37 is being sold as a 4-seater, but reviewers say the 2 back seats are pretty much useless for anyone with actual legs. Having proper auto insurance coverage seems to be a must for riding backseat in one of these.

2009 Mazda MX-5 and Most Affordable Sports Cars

Ready to put the top down and show yourself off for the upcoming summer? If you kept yourself looking good over the winter with the best diet supplements you surely will want to take a look at the Mazda MX-5 this spring if you are in the market for a sports car in a reasonable price range.

The Mazda MX-5: Miata was rated as the most affordable sports car for 2009 by U.S. News and World Reports. They list thier top 8, and the MX-5 tops the list, or does it? Yes it does, but it shares #1 with TWO other sports cars. The Mazda RX8, and the Honda S2000.

What the MX-5 does however, is to cost quite a bit less than the other 2. It ranges between $21,000-$29,000 while the MX8, and the S2000 fall into the range of $26-31,000, and $34-38,000 respectively.

The Mazda MX-5 hits show rooms in Europe this spring with a variety of models.
