Our good-ol-pal who happens to have created AutomotiveAddicts.com, owns a Nissan Murano equipped with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) and before his purchase he was always a little concerned about the reliability of such a transmission. Several other vehicle manufacturers have made use of the CVT transmission in many of their models including most of the new hybrid vehicles you see on the road today. To make all of the customers of Nissans equipped with CVT transmissions, Nissan has decided to double the powertrain warranty coverage on the CVT transmission. That means anyone that owns a Nissan equipped with CVT transmission gets a new extended powertrain warranty for the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to 10 years/120,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for CVT transmission repairs, replacement, and related towing on all 2003-2010 model year Nissan vehicles.

I tend to enjoy the finer things in life but the new Bugatti 16C Galibier leaves me breathless. I mean, it is just a remarkable piece of artwork, if you consider an automobile as being art. We were tipped off on a longer version of the promotional video on what some call “the 4-door Veyron”. This video speaks for itself. As I started to watch the video I felt little droplets of water fall in my lap but little did I know, it was not the roof leaking but the drool coming out of my mouth. I am sure you will have the same experience that I did as you watch the video below.
