Infiniti is a car company that is making all sorts of different jaws drop and when the Infiniti Essence concept car came out, I have to say that it was commanding the room all over.  At the Geneva Motor Show that happened in March, this beautiful car was debuted and I have to say that the combination of gas and electric is something that every single man and woman in the world would not want to drive – after all, in the UK there are not a lot of green cars.

The cool thing about the Infiniti Essence is the overall feel of the car.  It is a sports car and it is certainly one handsome looking car.  The interior is just as important as the exterior and while this car has not hit production yet, it is something to think about.  After all, the Infiniti Essence has hit the press and the press wants to know when this beautiful car is going into production.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Infiniti Essence and I’ll keep my ears open and keep you updated!

With all of the talk about car companies closing down plants and certain car brands being phased out, it is great to see that the Chevrolet Camaro is still going to be around in 2010, unlike all of the Pontiac cars.  While the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro premiered originally in February, I thought I would give just a little shout out to it here, in this blog.  This incredible sports car combines great looks with a performance that is, to date, unmatched and that is exactly what I love about this particular car.

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is built on GM’s brand new, global-rear-wheel-drive architecture and the Camaro is offered in the 3.6-liter V-6-powered LS and LT models, as well as the 6.2-liter V-8-powered SS.  All of the models of this particular car will also include some fuel-saving things inside of it and honestly, I think that is fantastic!

So if you are thinking about getting yourself a new sports car, the 2010 Camaro should be the one that you are considering!

You know, it is tough — you see all of these innovative new cars, and the fact of the matter is that most of us cannot possibly afford them … or can we? Actually, if you are willing to do some research and buy smart, it is possible to make the current automotive crisis work to your advantage.

You see, right now, car dealers all over the United States — and the rest of the world — are doing anything that they possibly can to beat the deals being offered by their competitors. There are, for once, too many cars and not enough buyers — which means no money for all those dealers. You only have to look at all the recently bankrupt manufacturers to see the depth of the problem.

Right now, it is possible to get new cars for as much as six thousand dollars less than the same models from a year ago. If you are willing to haggle a little bit and check out the dealerships near you in the most problem, you can walk away with a real steal.

I spy with my little eye … something monochromatic but still psychodelic that doesn’t look … at all like a BMW.  Wait, is that a BMW?  That can’t seriously be a BMW, right?

Au contraire, my friends.  According to Car and Driver, that is indeed a BMW.  Specifically, it is the BMW 1 Series, the 2011/2012 edition.  I know, I could not really believe my eyes either, but this is apparently the true facts.

I … cannot decide if I love this or if I hate it.  To my way of thinking, prints of this nature belong only on clothing, wallpaper, and bedding.  …and to be completely, bluntly honest?  I would not buy a shirt with this kind of print on it.  Furthermore, if I saw wallpaper with this design, I would stop to make fun of it and then keep on walking.

Is BMW trying to be fun?  Honestly, what are they trying to do?  I bring you this sneak peek in the hopes that someone can help me understand — why?  Why for the love of all that purrs on four wheels?

The largest car manufacturer in the United States declares bankruptcy as the market opens morning of June 1. The federal comes to the rescue with a $30.1 billion funding to help one of the pillars of the American auto industry through the tough times.

The good assets of the company will end up and be owned by the bond holders, UAW, Canadian government, and the U.S. Treasury Department. The move will give way to the restructuring of the company. Some of the old assets like factories, brands, and dealerships will be under supervision of the court, be closed or be sold.

The U.S. government will be having a 61% stake of GM. Canada and the government of Ontario will get a 12% share in exchange of a $9.5 billion funding.

The bankruptcy is seen by the Obama administration as a way for the car company to rise again from its neck deep financial woes.
