Audi TT carries into the 2010 model year

Though the TT carries into the 2010 model year mostly unchanged, the 3.2 models have been discontinued. The 2010 TT is available in two trims, the base 2.0 and TTS. Shoppers can opt for either coupe or convertible body styles. Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system is standard.

Another feature that differentiates the TT from its competitors is the standard all wheel drive system. This system, called the "quattro" system by Audi, is held over from the last model. Audi has been perfecting the system since the early 1980's, and the system helps the car have superior grip and road-holding capabilities. All of this power is delivered through a 6 speed "Tiptronic" transmission. This transmission was first employed by Porsche in its vehicles, and allows the driver to switch between manual or automatic modes when driving.

2011 Volvo C30 a "Top Safety Pick"

The 2011 Volvo C30 has not been crash tested by the federal government. However, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2011 C30 a "Top Safety Pick" for earning top scores in all of its crash tests. A number of safety features are available for the C30, including a Blind Spot Information System

To be fair, the Mazda driver wasn't trying too hard to lose me in the little Volvo C30, but that doesn't discount the amount of fun supplied by the little white hatchback. New for 2011, the C30 features an updated visage, but beneath its hood beats the same 227-horsepower turbocharged 5-cylinder engine that's powered the U.S. market C30 since 2007. Volvo's done a good job of tuning out turbo lag, as the T5 engine's 236 pound-feet of torque comes on as early as 1,500rpm. Though the Volvo doesn't blow you away with its power--an enthusiast's car it is not--it does feel confident during freeway passing maneuvers and, as indicated above, back-road blasts.

the 2011 Volvo C70 is no longer

After benefiting from a mild redesign, the 2011 Volvo C70 is no longer an aging hardtop convertible. Although newer, sportier droptops are heating up the competition, the Volvo holds its own with an impressive-looking exterior, innovative safety features and comfortable cabin.

Many car buyers especially those more concerned about their car's exterior styling would usually opt for a convertible. After all, driving down a busy street in a top down car is guaranteed to turn heads. Of course, the driving performance of the car is not left to chance; any buyer would surely go for a car with good looks and a high performance level to boot. And since a convertible is known for having problems in security and leakage in the past, a smart buyer would surely cover all bases and go for the convertible that not only looks good and drives well but is also secured and safe.

2011 Ford Fiesta Rundown

Ford is now working on the Fiesta Movement Chapter 2, which consists of 20 teams of two agents that were selected from over 1,000 applicants. They're instructed to interact with consumers online and offline and bring the Fiesta to different communities with the goal of redefining the way Fiesta is released to the market. After the teams complete a challenge, agents must create and upload their content online at FiestaMovement.com where followers can view and keep up with their favorites. Some of the challenges included racing a Fiesta and a Lamborghini around curves, and seeing which car could pack more cargo, the Fiesta or the Civic.

We did have to change some parts. By percent value, across the entire value of the vehicle, the number of common parts is 60 percent between North America and Europe," told reporters Derrick Kuzak, Ford's group vice president for global product development.
