The new 2009 Audi A6 now comes with a choice of the standard 3.2 liter V6, an available 4.2 liter V8, or the all-new, 3.0 liter supercharged V6 engine. The new A6 also gets a freshening of the front bumper/grille design, rear lighting, side mirror lighting, a tweaked suspension, new wheels, and an interior upgrade, that makes the new 2009 Audi A6 one of the most satisfying mid-size luxury sport sedans on the road. World-wide sales of the A6 continue to lead the in total sales against the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. That’s for good reason as the Audi A6 is such a great automobile to look at and to drive.

‘LETTING THE SHINE IN 12 MONTHS A YEAR’
When the road calls, the Infiniti G has always been quick to answer. Since its introduction in 2002, the G has been known for delivering the most rewarding combination of fluid design and exhilarating performance in its entry-level luxury segment. I was so enthralled with the car when I first tested it in 2002 that I drove straight to Monument Valley, Utah, some 400 miles away.

With the introduction of the all-new 2010 Jaguar XKR supercharged convertible, Jaguar has finally crossed into supercar territory with the 510hp supercharged AJV8 engine.
Not only is the engine and powertrain world class, but so is the dramatic new styling, bonded chassis, suspension, brakes, plus new interior ergonomics, workmanship and materials. The all-new XKR is competitive against the Aston-Martin Volante, BMW M6 convertible, and Porsche 911 Twin-Turbo convertible like never before. It is awesome to drive with all the power under your foot, so stiff yet very comfortable, that I sometimes forgot I was driving a chopped top, so responsive to my every input, (acceleration, cornering, braking), and with every elegant item inside in its rightful place for easy use, the car shot straight-up on my list of outstanding all-new 2010 luxury sport 2+2 convertibles.

The 2009 Audi S5 is stunning in design, brilliant on the inside, with breathtaking power and performance and works so smoothly.
The S5 coupe’s long, low and sleek styling is attractive from any angle. Up front is the signature Audi grille but painted grey and fitted with vertical chrome inlays just like every S-line Audi. Down below is a center splitter to help bite into the air during high-speed driving. At the edges are beautifully formed adaptive HID headlamp clusters. The clusters also contain daytime running lights comprising a strip of eight LEDs on each side making these clusters truly unique. Down below are blacked-out air inlets and powerful halogen fog-lamps.

Soccer Moms need not apply. This BMW SUV is not your everyday “pick-up-the-kids” type of wagon that you are accustomed to seeing in your local township. After all, this is one of the fastest production SUV’s around.
The new 2010 BMW X5 M is a new endeavor for the BMW Motorsport family that incorporates for the first time, a forced induction engine. As part of a so-called initiative to be more efficient, BMW has brought forced induction back into its driving machines starting with the 335’s inline 6 cylinder and now the infamous 4.4 liter V8 has been reworked to include twin turbos giving the new X5M and X6M 555hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque.

For the past year total automobile sales have declined more than 40% across the entire spectrum of vehicles. Full-size luxury sport utilities haven’t been immune to this fact and it’s not solely because of their low mpg or high price. Well to do consumers still number in the hundreds of thousands that need power and torque to tow and carry large families, and corporations still need transportation surrounded by luxury for their clients. It’s the downturn in the economy that has well to do consumers and corporations being cautious and careful where the money is spent.
