You Fancy Huh?

There is love in the air, especially when I got the chance to test-drive the elegant, but feisty SLK 350; for you of course. The SLK 350 is ready for the highway or the speedway as this stylishly designed automobile is as much fun to drive as it is beautiful. In just 22 seconds, you can transform it into an open –air convertible.

Performance-wise, this darling of a roadster reached 0-60 in just only 5.4 seconds due to the 300-horsepower, 3.5-liter high-revving V-6 engine. It growls, but it’s a sweet growl. The drive is sweet too. Unlike most roadsters, the SLK 350 if free of the rugged sports-car feel, reminding me that is definitely a Mercedes Benz. The car is responsive, and tight. A wide range of closely spaced gears delivers the ideal gear ratio for virtually every driving condition, which means smoother cruising and immediate response for acceleration and passing, and even improved fuel efficiency on the highway.

The assortment of technological attributes that make this vehicle well worth the $ 54,000 price tag is impressive to say the least.

On the outside, the SLK body is designed to sharpen agility through refined air management. The Formula 1-inspired nose and wide front valance help direct air along the sides of the roadster, while the strongly tapered rear end makes a clean break

Aggressively styled AMG-design lower bodywork includes a deep front air dam with mesh intakes, along with sculpted side sills and sporty rear valance punctuated by dual chrome exhaust tips. A subtle lip spoiler accentuates the trunk lid. Black headlamp surrounds add a more aggressive appearance to the piercing multi-element headlamps.

Inside, the cockpit is a clean, high-tech environment that is complimented by leather upholstery and aluminum accents.

Specifically engineered for the SLK, the Harman/Kardon premium digital sound system fills the cabin with 500 watts of beautifully balanced audio through 11 strategically placed Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound technology speakers.

All in all, I’d place this car high in the luxury roadster department; one that deserves a good look if you want to combine performance, beauty, luxury and style. It’s a head-turning, attention-getting, fun loving little roadster that is a keeper for those who love to drive and look good doing so.

The 2011 Mustang I tested with the V6 engine, leather seats and cool design was a delight. Ford did not forget what made this car a hit in the first place which is the way it looks from the front to the back.

I really enjoy a V6 when it fits right and this time, it fit right. Forget about a back seat. You might as well put your back seat guests in the trunk, cause there's more space there.

Now let's get one thing clear; I've never been a fan of the Mustang. But I realize that this car does have an appeal that I missed all these years. You get a cool street-ready sports car (get a stick by the way) car for a great price.

Chevy’s Impressive Comeback!

2009 was a pivotal year for the auto industry and in particular Detroit's big three; GM, Ford and Crysler. With the bailout done, and the dust nearly settled, we can now begin to see what has come of the big three.

One look at the Chevy Camaro abd you know that Chevy is back! The Camaro was selected by IN FOCUS Magazine as the PEOPLE'S CHOICE for 2009. The head-turning high-performance beast of a car is just one of several automobiles that have propelled Chevy to new heights.

Yeah, the auto maker that brought us the iconic Corvette, and Camaro has made a bold stand in the marketplace and the results are starting to show positive signs. Strong retail sales of Chevrolet’s launch vehicles; Camaro, Equinox, and Traverse, led to a 9% total sales increase in October, and a 31% increase in retail sales for the same period. We can’t wait to see the Volt, a revolutionary vehicle that many experts sat will change the game in the automotive industry. Check out the interview with Chevy’s Carlos Latour on YouTube.
