Mazda - CX-9

Hi, this post is about a sports car of Mazda called CX-9. Well, it is engineered with Mazda’s “Soul of a Sports car” signature; CX-9 deftly blends sporty driving spirit with seven-passenger sport-utility vehicle (SUV) practicality. For 2008, CX-9 reaches a higher level of performance with a new standard 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine, resulting in 10 more horsepower and 21 additional lb-ft of torque compared to 2007. The Mazda CX-9 is the insightful solution not only to the modern family’s complex needs but also to the enthusiast driver’s desires. Mazda CX-9 targets young couples and modern families. These outwardly-focused families have not lost their desire for high-intensity leisure activities, learning experiences or social interaction. The CX-9 is also ideal for couples with grown children who pursue an active lifestyle.
Sometimes life forces us to make some difficult sacrifices. So while you may be forced to trade in that two-seat roadster for a family vehicle, the CX-9 is the perfect option for the driving enthusiast. It offers 273 horsepower, 270 lb-ft torque, 6-speed Sport AT automatic transmission with Sport Shift, front and rear stabilizer bars and ventilated front and rear disc pakes. But also features three-row, seven-passenger seating, air bags coverage to first, second and third row with roll-over protection and available rear seat entertainment system with DVD player. Surely both driver and family will enjoy the journey.
Thus you too can enjoy the journey with CX-9…

Opel - Flextreme

Our today’s post is about Opel’s hot product called Flextreme… It boasts the body of a dynamic monocab, as well as the completely new environmentally friendly E-Flex electric propulsion concept and a host of innovative details. Flextreme is part of GM’s ongoing commitment to develop vehicles that reduce CO2 emissions and the automobile’s dependency on petroleum. In contrast to conventional vehicles and hybrids, GM’s E-Flex system uses an electric motor, powered by a lithium-ion battery, to propel the Opel Flextreme concept for up to 55 km of electric-drive-only range.
A 1.3 turbo-diesel onboard engine generates additional electricity to replenish the battery and extend the vehicle’s driving range fully charged; the Flextreme’s 55-km all-electric driving range is enough for most daily commuters in Europe to travel without using any diesel fuel or emitting any CO2.
The Flextreme takes the new design language debuted in the GTC Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show several steps further. With the rear-hinged back doors that enable comfortable access to the interior, a large transparent roof and two tailgate doors that open from the side and swing upwards, the concept car embodies Opel’s tradition of particularly flexible and practical body concepts with attractive designs. This also includes the FlexLoad’s additional under floor luggage compartment the latest in a series of innovative Opel solutions such as the Zafira’s seating system.
A clever storage system at the front and back of the center tunnel offer brand-typical flexibility. Front and rear passengers can stow items such as mobile phones, MP3 players, i Pods and PDAs in two drawers. The best part: the electrical devices are recharged in the drawers by induction and Blue tooth-capable systems can transmit their data to the on board infotainment system.
Thus it really makes the users, to love the car… It is really so hot and cool to drive. So have a one for you…
