/> The 2010 Buick LaCrosse not only offers a luxurious and comfortable interior, but it does so with exquisite styling as well. In terms of size and space, the new Buick sedan is probably no different than past models, but it’s the cabin materials and the remarkable fit and finish that won us over. Most of the surfaces are covered in soft touch materials with a stylish layout that includes faux wood accents on the steering wheel, shift lever, center stack and surrounding the instrument panel and door panels. High-tech features are also available including GM’s large, touch-screen display, a panoramic sunroof and heads-up display. As is expected from any luxury sedan, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse offers plenty of rear-seat legroom as well as decent trunk space for multiple golf bags.</p><p>The engine choices available in the Buick LaCrosse were also helpful in determining this year’s pick. Powering the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, the CX and CXL models use a 255-horsepower 3.0-liter direct-injected V-6, while the top-of-the-line CXS gets a 280-horsepower 3.6-liter direct-injected V-6. These engines offer decent fuel economy of up to 17 miles per gallon in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, but the Buick LaCrosse will be adding another engine option for even better fuel mileage. At some point later this year, Buick will offer the base LaCrosse CX standard with a 2.4-liter Ecotec inline-4 engine that gets an estimated 30 miles per gallon on the highway – an improvement of 4 mpg compared to the current base V-6. All models come standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, but the CXS offers all-wheel drive as an option</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://vidrive.com/2010-buick-lacrosse.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>New VW Golf Wagon diesel TDI 2010</title><link>http://vidrive.com/new-vw-golf-wagon-diesel-tdi-2010.html</link> <comments>http://vidrive.com/new-vw-golf-wagon-diesel-tdi-2010.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 09 Jan 2010 02:18:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>ViDrive</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jetta TDI]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New golf]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TDi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[VW wagon]]></category><guid

/> The new 2010 Golf represents the sixth generation of one of the world’s most popular vehicles ever. Since its introduction in Europe in 1974, over 26 million units have been sold worldwide. Volkswagen also announced that nearly 400,000 Rabbits, Golfs, and GTIs have been sold in Canada since the introduction of the first generation in 1975.<br
/> The Golf is a phenomenon, regardless of its particular generation. Its redesign team was headed by the Volkswagen Group’s chief designer, Walter de Silva, with Klaus Bischoff and Flavio Manzoni, has succeeded in giving the Golf a presence, sharpness, and a power that generates even more fun. Not only fun to look at, but fun to drive.<br
/> All key body elements were redesigned, and the sixth generation Golf has a sportier and more distinctive image. In front, the new car adopts the radiator grille of the first generation Golf that is horizontally aligned between the headlights. The lines of the bumper match those of the radiator grille, and beneath this is a section with another air scoop.</p><p>This TDI Clean Diesel engine produces 140 HP and 236 lb-ft of torque with a fuel consumption of 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres (L / 100 km) in a 6-speed manual version on the highway, and 6.8 L / 100 km in the city. It is expected, like the Jetta TDI Clean Diesel, that the new Golf TDI Clean Diesel will easily manage over 1,100 km of highway driving with one tank of fuel. Volkswagen is also the first manufacturer to certify B5 Biodiesel fuel for its TDI Clean Diesel engines in Canada, allowing consumers to reduce CO2 emissions by an additional 5 percent.<br
/> A new 2010 GTI will accompany the introduction of the new 2010 Golf this fall, and will also be available in either a 3-door or 5-door body styles. Powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged TSI engine producing 200 HP and 207 lb-ft of torque, the 2010 GTI will continue Volkswagen’s leadership in the “pocket rocket” class popular with Canadian drivers. Both 3-door and 5-door versions of the new 2010 GTI will be available in 3 versions: Trendline, Comfortline, Highline</p><p><a

/> This sport-utility vehicle The 3.5-liter gas V-6 produces 268 horsepower and gets fuel economy of 15 mpg city, 20 highway. Next up is the 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML550, which wears some of the AMG model&#8217;s body add-ons.</p><p> A 5.5-liter V-8 grants it 382 hp, and a seven-speed automatic ushers out the power urgently and smoothly. This version can accelerate to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, or faster than some two-door sports cars—but it gets 13/18 mpg. At the top of the ladder, the 503-horsepower Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG remains unchanged, with unapologetic 11/14 mpg fuel economy and supercar performance cloaked in its handsome, neatly detailed body.</p><p>Stability control, anti-lock brakes, and traction control are standard, along with front, side, and curtain airbags. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class has a NHTSA five-star crash rating and a four-star rollover rating. PRE-SAFE, a safety system that senses collisions before they happen, is also now a standard feature on M-Class models.</p><p>For 2009, the COMAND screen-driven interface is all-new, featuring a larger 6.5-inch display screen with a standard in-dash, six-disc CD/DVD changer and a Bluetooth interface. The COMAND screen can display maps and directions for the optional GPS navigation system stored on the larger hard drive. The navigation system is now set up for Sirius traffic info and Zagat restaurant ratings. An optional 610-watt digital Harman Kardon Logic7 audio system and a rear-seat entertainment system with two 8-inch screens, wireless headphones, and an integrated DVD player with dual-source capability are also available on 2009 M-Class models. For the driver, there’s four-stage power lumbar support and a new four-spoke steering wheel with multifunction buttons and shift paddles.</p><p>Other Choices:<br
/> If you like the 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class, also consider:</p><p>Volkswagen Touareg<br
/> Infiniti FX<br
/> Lexus GX 470<br
/> BMW X5<br
/> Reason Why:<br
/> The Volkswagen Touareg sits high, feels thick and sturdy, and seats five adults. The Infiniti FX has aggressive styling and a V-8 option to match. The Lexus GX 470 has good off-road capability but a dowdy exterior shape. The BMW X5 is the Mercedes-Benz M-Class&#8217;s closest competitor—in fact, just the state of Georgia separates the Mercedes factory in Alabama from the BMW factory in South Carolina. The X5 offers a third-row seat, but it has more sedate styling and lacks the performance character of BMW’s cars.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://vidrive.com/the-2009-mercedes-benz-m-class.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>2009 BMW 335d review</title><link>http://vidrive.com/2009-bmw-335d-review.html</link> <comments>http://vidrive.com/2009-bmw-335d-review.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 08 Jan 2010 07:23:49 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>ViDrive</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bmw]]></category> <category><![CDATA[diesel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[new car]]></category><guid

The thrust, especially off the line, is impressive and enough to beat most other cars across the intersection. And the diesel engine revs surprisingly quick and high-nearly as high as the V-8 in our long-term Challenger.&#8221;</p><p>Evans does have a few nits to pick, however: &#8220;The pop-out cupholders are a stretch to reach from the driver&#8217;s seat and caused bumped knees on several front-seat passengers attempting to gracefully enter and exit the vehicle. Finally, the silly push-pull shift paddles need to be replaced with pull-only paddles, left for down, right for up.&#8221;</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://vidrive.com/2009-bmw-335d-review.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
