When General Motors unveiled the Chevrolet Volt, reviewers proclaimed that they also unveiled what the next one hundred years of their automobiles will be like. This is the Chevrolet Volt’s production version, and it is one which is said to be able to offer as much as forty miles worth of gasoline. It is emissions free, and electric driven vehicle that has capability for extended range for hundreds of extra miles.
Bob Boniface is behind the design of the Chevrolet Volt. It is the very first of the E-Flex vehicles which will be ideally following it in the future.
Production is slated to start late next year in 2010 — and yes, that means production for the United States, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for it.

Wowza, wowza, wowza, friends and neighbors. Just … wow.
You may not be able to tell by looks alone, but this is a Jeep. Actually, it is a Jeep concept. Specifically, it is the Jeep Renegade concept, and it’s just … WOW!
It is the third vehicle concept unveiled by the Chrysler Group, revealed back during the 2008 NAIAS.
Its classification? A Jeep for young people, supposed to go back to basics. Uhm … okay. Whatever, I am not so sure about that, but it is a darn fine looking automobile, all the same.
And in case you are wondering, the concept is green inside and out. It gets its power from a 1.5 liter, 3 cylinder Bluetec diesel, which has been mated with a lithium ion batter pack.

Okay guys, so I never ever knew that VW had a cousin – a sporty cousin at that, but the automaker Seat is actually the brand and it is quite a brand. Seat is full of all sorts of different hatchbacks and MPVs as well as some models with five doors. Take the Seat Leon Cupra R – this particular car is actually pretty cool and honestly, I think that it looks amazing!
This little car is actually super powerful and I think that it is going to be one of the most popular cars as it is sporty and cute. Have you ever noticed that the way that the car looks has something to do with how the sales do? Well, I have noticed that and I think that the Seat Leon Cupra R will not have any problems selling.
So if you want something sporty and cute – along with powerful, the Seat Leon Cupra R is definitely the car for you!

Possibly the next extremely expensive Bugatti – and I’m very much hoping for this Bugatti Galibier 16C Concept to make it into production. What a grand look!

You guys are really, seriously going to just hate me. One of the reasons I chose to highlight this car this week — it is the Citroen Revolte concept, by the bye — is because of the color shown here. It is absolutely to die for. It is so, so, so — gasp! — pretty!
And actually, I like the design of the concept as well. It was unveiled at the motor show in Frankfurt just recently. A very compact city car, it is inspired by the 2CV, a true classic. It has a rechargeable hybrid drivetrain as well.
Inside, the interior complements the exterior with a multicolored scheme covering the three seats. It is actually made to resemble a lounge — can you get more chic?

Have you heard about Fisker Automotive? Do not worry if you haven’t; until quite recently, I had never heard of the manufacturer either.
They are a very special, very exclusive automaker, though, specializing solely in green cars. Recently they unveiled the new addition to their lineup. This came a year after the original unveiling of the Karma concept.
This one, called the Fisker Karma S concept, is a four seater convertible.
It is expected that the car will get to the showroom without showing many changes at all — if, in fact, it shows any.
This seems to be the new generation of automakers. More and more new manufacturers are emerging, and they are trying to go as green as possible. On the one hand, that’s great.
On the other hand, one just has to hope that Henrik Fisker, whose automobiles are both stylish and eco friendly, won’t end up meeting the same fate as Preston Tucker.

To be honest – I forgot about the Bentley brand … I really haven’t thought about Bentley’s in quite a while but when I saw that they are going to be debuting a brand new car at the Frankfurt Motor Show – well, I had to share the wealth! The Bentley Continental GT/C Series 51 is the brand new car that should be showing next week and it is certainly going to be one car that everyone is going to want.
This car is actually one of the better paint-job featuring cars and as you know, Bentley is a brand that is known for their luxury cars inside and out. The Bentley Continental GT/C Series 51 is actually going to be available next year most likely and they are going to be available for order this month – which is mind boggling!
If you want a Bentley Continental GT/C Series 51 … you should go see it at the Frankfurt Motor Show … it is one hot luxury car!

I will be honest, I do not a lot about, well, any of the Peugeot models — that has not really changed since coming upon a sneak peek of the 2010 Peugeot RCZ. There are really only a few pictures of the car available, and quite a bit of those are pretty … obscure.
The car has been in the works since at least 2007, when it was revealed solely as a concept. This was during the motor show in Frankfurt during that year.
The engineers and designers working on the Peugeot RCZ were intent on making sure the final version of the car kept with the concept car’s exterior design. Thus, among other things, it has kept the cant rail made out of aluminum and the double bubble roof.
This final version will premiere at this year’s Frankfurt motor show later this month.

Getting into a car wreck is so scary – so nerve-racking and certainly something that not everyone truly knows how to deal with. When you get into a car accident, the first thing that you need to remember is to stay calm. When you are panicking, it is only going to make things worse and nothing will get resolved – not to mention the fact that your could injure yourself more.
Car accidents are not easy to deal with, however there are a few things that you need to do. One is make sure that you do not ever leave the scene of an accident – you always want to wait for the police to get there, that way you can be absolutely sure that everything goes smoothly.
Next, you want to make sure that you get the information from the other driver – insurance needs specifically so your insurance company can bill their insurance company for the damages. Finally, know your coverage and just what is covered on your car insurance.

The cash for clunkers program is finally in full swing and people are not only getting brand new cars, but they are also helping the environment by turning in their gas guzzlers – however, I am getting horror stories in my e-mail everyday. To be quite frank, there are a few things that you need to do in order to ensure that you clunker and gas guzzler is going to qualify for the program and that you will be able to get the rebate.
First thing you need to do? Research! Make sure that you do all of your research before you even begin to go shopping, you want to make sure that your car or truck is going to be within the government standard and make sure that the car or truck that you are getting is going to be within the standard that you need to get the refund – honestly, this is something that so many people are skipping over and shouldn’t be!
After you have done your research – cut loose! Make sure that you get the full amount and totally make sure that you get the car that you want, after your research is done mind you!
