Revised Passat CC adds Sat Nav and Bluetooth as standard

2010 Passat CC

Seems like VW-AG group has found the key to success, namely to good sales results: besides good performance cars, they give you a lot of  high-tech stuff as standard for your car and DO NOT charge you for their entire value, but just for a sum that you won’t even notice when paying for the car.

For the first time VW’s CC can accommodate five adults thanks to the addition of an extra space situated between the rear seats, while up front satellite navigation is fitted as standard along with a touchscreen Bluetooth device. Standard equipment also includes 2Zone electronic climate control, a leather steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake, 17-inch ‘Phoenix’ alloy wheels and six airbags. (more…)

Definition of “GAY”: Fiat 500C Pink edition

Limited edition Fiat 500C Pink drop-top

Personally, I don’t understand what people see in Fiat 500 that is so amaizing. Maybe it has good performance figures…maybe! But definitely looks is not an asset for the little bug. Of course, this is my opinion! I’m a muscle car fan so it’s hard to trick me in for a girlish drop-top hatch.
And as if the classy 500 were not enough, Fiat brought to light 500C Pink Limited Edition. To characterise it in one sentence, it is the ultimate gayish drop-top car! Or a special edition for pampered daughters-of-multi-millionaire-petrol-magnats pricesses. Or it’s just me being mean and envious…

The special color scheme extends to the exterior paint, door mirrors and interior, and is complemented by chrome trim, 16-inch alloys and a smattering of other special touches. As you can see from the press release after the jump, the limited edition commands a £13,500 price tag in the UK’s comparatively price-inflated market (that’s around $20,600 U.S.), representing a £1,200 premium ($1,800) over the 500C 1.2 Pop model upon which it’s based, but it also carries £1,870 ($2,860) worth of options.

I’m eagerly waiting for a special edition pink drop-top Hummer, with flower-shaped headlamps and fluffy plush-covered seats. That would definitely revive H3.

My precious: Infiniti G convertible. How precious?

infiniti g37 convertible

After the prices for Infiniti M sedan have been revealed, it’s time for the gorgeous convertible to announce how deep you should dig into your pockets to own a G37…Many may find the prices high, but there are lucky people who have a bottomless pocket and consider this amount as a daily allowance.

I’m talking about  $44,350 for the seven-speed automatic version, a $500 increase from last year. On sale now, the G37 Convertible Sport with six-speed manual is offered with new standard equipment, with a starting price of $46,950, up $3,050 from last year.

On the second year, the G37 Convertible is given a revised interior and upgraded entertainment and navigation systems, as well as power folding mirrors. Now included as standard equipment is last year’s Premium package, which has the Bose Open Air Sound System with 13 speakers and 2-GB Music Box, driver’s-seat memory and power lumbar support, climate-controlled front seats with cooling, power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel and a rear sonar system.

Yes, it looks damn good, yes, it is an Infiniti convertible with a helluva lot of gadgets and yes, it is packed with latest tachnology stuff, but would you pay almost half 100K for it?!

Oui! Simplement magnifique! Yet another super car that will be revealed on March 2nd at Geneva: a very good looking French coupe-cabriolet. A glass top and a fully-automatic, electro-hydraulic opening mechanism that lowers the top in just 21 seconds adds the “je ne sais quoi” to the stylish, shiny, powerful cabrio.

It comes with a choice of three petrol engine and three diesel engines with output from 110 to 160 hp. All engines are mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) dual-clutch automatic transmission.

BMW tops-off the M3

The German manufacturer has just unveiled the new convertible version of its powerful M3 series and it looks awesome

 

BMW has finally decided to top-off the M3, so to speak, and I have to say I believe this is a move they most definitely won’t regret. The new convertible still has all the strong points of the coupe and saloon but promises to offer a more exhilarating driving experience by allowing the passengers to enjoy the “music” of the V8 engine.

 

BMW M3 Cabrio features a retractable hard-top, to protect you from the bad weather and uncomfortable noises, the same 414bhp 4.0 litre V8 engine as the tin-top version, a six-speed manual gearbox that allow it to reach 60mph in 5.3 seconds at a fuel consumption of 21mpg. Another interesting fact about this M3 is that, although it uses a lot of aluminum to make it lighter, it’s still a good 204 kg heavier than the 4-doored versions, weighing 1,860kg. (more…)
