2008 Sedans That Get 30+ MPG Combined City/Highway

While the U.S. has pretty loose miles per gallon requirements for automobiles compared to other countries, it still doesn't stop us from wanting to find cars that don't suck dry our bank accounts at the gas pump, or seeking the best acne treatments due to gas prices stress. In our case 30+ MPG is actually considered good, although it is poor compared to many other places.

Anyways, if you are looking for some "fuel efficiency" here is a list of the 2008 sedans with the best MPG stats. Surely these cars are going to save us millions in gas expenditures :rolls eyes:.

2008 Cadillac CTS V6 DI Review

The 2008 Cadillac CTS V6 DI is a luxury Performance Sedan, and the review that I pull for it is from a guy that openly says he hates Caddys. A guy that thinks it is your "Grandfather's Car" while he is an elitist snow (he says this) that probably spends his time with his fitness equipment and calling himself things like "The Trav".

I really liked the sound this car made when you punched it, even though the sound was really the only effect of punching it. Sort of sounded like the big V8 in the Caprice Station Wagon we had when I was a wee tike. Big full barrelled sound. America, pre gas crisis. The sound of freedom. This car had that sound. Made me nostalgic. read more

Hybrids Dominate Auto Lease Searches

Hybrid vehicles are becoming more widely available in the used market now since there have been a few years of production now. Consumers are struggling to pay for their fuel so it is no surprise that searches for hybrid automobiles are on the rise. The Toyota Prius is said to be up in searches over 500% over the last year.

While I'm more worried about my air conditioning compressor at the moment, it doesn't hurt to see just what the hybrid market is doing as well.

Automobile Consumer Services, Inc. (ACS), the leader in online direct-to-consumer auto leasing, released a list of the top 10 most requested vehicles from its popular auto leasing website. Information was collected during the first half of 2008 from more than three million lease quote requests. "We have seen a huge increase in requests for hybrid models with the Toyota Prius up over 500% from the last half of 2007," says Tarry Shebesta, President of ACS and a certified lease consultant. "And, for the first time, used hybrid demand is increasing because of the waiting list for many of the new models." read more

2009 BMW 7 Series Preview

Oh yeah...this car is going to kick literal ass. Literal ass? Who knows, but this car is awesome. In September, the Paris auto show will host BMW for the world premiere of the new 7 Series. Last week, the media were invited to Bavaria for the first look at the fifth generation of BMW’s flagship.

People that drive these cars probably don't even need to care about using acne scars cream because just being in it makes you look like a pimp.

Here's an article talking about it all, with interviews and a bunch of pic s for you to gander at. Below is the promo video that was released recently.
