The Smart
...elings” for the El Camino Chevy re-continued the El Camino with greater options and better body looks. The El Camino was a great idea on vehicle. It offed many options from a car/truck to high performance race car. I liked the vehicle so much I bought a 1970 SS El Camino of my own and I have been restoring it for 2 years now. My plan is to get it back onto the drag strip and race. I kept the G body and a lot of stock parts but the rear end and the heads and valve covers. The El Camino was a great invention by Chevrolet to help citizens have the luxury of a car and the load capacity of a truck.
The 2014 Subaru Impreza offers not only peace of mind, but the knowledge that you truly have the best equipped piece of technology for the value that the auto industry can provide. Standard all-wheel drive, solid fuel economy, stellar safety scores, rugged design, and engine power are just some of the assets that the Impreza boasts in the new model year. Lastly, at a sticker price of roughly $21,000, it is an option that parents and students alike cannot afford to overlook. Once the Impreza is yours it vaunts a sublime long term cost-to-own, and depreciates at a tiny rate. The years may pass, miles may add up, and memories may fade, but the Impreza will be a reliable, valuable force on the roads for a long time to come.

While Nissan touts the 2014 Maxima as a four door sports car, its performance doesn't quite live up to that moniker as much as it once did. Experts also note that fuel economy is not up to snuff for a car in this class, and that fully loaded models are almost as expensive as sedans from high-end brands. If you have a large family, you may want to pass by the Maxima, which fits only four passengers comfortably and has a comparably low 14.2 cubic feet of trunk space. Still, if you're looking for a mid-sized sedan that's well-rounded and less ubiquitous than more popular cars in this class (especially direct competitors like the Chevrolet Impala, Honda Accord, and Ford Taurus), with more impressive features, the 2014 Maxima is a solid choice.

Although buying a car can be an intricate and tedious process, there are certain guidelines even professional car buyers follow. With a few points of information on how to find the right car, the tedious car-buying process can be made easy.
In an unpredictable market customer perception is often the most viable source of information. It is difficult to directly benchmark the CAR prototype against other market offerings and therefore a value based approach could provide a better understanding of the price ceiling. Andy and Marc point out that value-informed pricing techniques are superior for products with a high relative advantage. With the current climate debate heating up, the CAR’s zero harmful emissions and low fuel costs boost its competitive advantage over petrol based cars. Yet risk per se cannot simply be av...
There are many different automobile companies providing buyers with many styles of cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. Toronto Star January 14, 2005 present ways to approach the automotive buying process. There are many different surveys, crash reports, and rating systems comparing different companies and their vehicles. Things you should look for when reading these published articles are who conducted the study? Who paid for it? Who gains from it? Who loses? These are all things to keep eye on as some automotive companies will run their own surveys making their products seem overpowering against the competition. Some prove their products are safer then the competition where the competition has been proven time and time again to make that survey seem inaccurate.
The high price of gas at the pump has many Americans looking for alternates to their gas powered vehicles. One of the most popular option right now is a hybrid vehicle. The question that comes to mind is, are hybrid vehicles worth it? With record high gas prices due to the price of oil, most car owners out there have major concerns over their gas usage. Over the past ten years, the cost of gasoline has grown 250%! The price of oil has doubled since January of this year. The high prices of oil and gas is the driving factor for most of the people to trade their gas powered vehicles for hybrid vehicles. These vehicles promise to give consumers more mileage per gallon, the truth is that only a few vehicles currently in the market actually make any sort of financial sense.

This sports car is a convertible to give it an even sportier feel, but it is a wimp of a car underneath the hood because it is only a v6 engine. Though the lack of power that it has compared to the v8 models, she is still able to get up and go. The convertible top is starting to become run down, but that is also because it’s 15 years old. The rear wheel drive, which is now rare in cars is a blast, it makes driving a lot more fun when you are able to drift around corners. I have not driven this car in winter nor do I recommend it, the rear wheel drive would make it hard to go through snow, and the convertible top would surely take a lot of damage from the snow. One thing I dislike, is that the gear that you are in does not appear on the dash. Overall, it’s a fun car to drive and own, but my recommendation is this should not be your everyday car, it is only meant for nice and clear weather
The company has presence in segments like hatchback, Sedan, Mini-van, LUV (Life Utility Vehicles) and SUV. The popular models are 800, Alto, Swift, Dezire, Omni, Ertiga and now
When you hear the term “used car”, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Some may think of an old rusty Cadillac that belongs in a junkyard. Others may think of that nice Camaro at the used car dealership for sale. Over the years, used car sales have skyrocketed. In 2012, over 40.5 million used cars were purchased in the United States (Atiyeh, 2013). Used cars are in high demand in today’s economy because of the lower prices, slightly higher gas mileage, and that they can be more trustworthy against some of the newer models.

Most importantly, how can buyers make sure that they do not get scammed? This paper will take you through the process of purchasing a used vehicle, from deciding on a budget, all the way to the final purchase of your “new” car.

We all dream in the day we get to purchase our first vehicle. The day we stop asking our parents to take us here and there. Some may say buying a vehicle is a pain in the you know what.

With convenience comes cost. There are many costs associated with owning a car. Firstly learning to drive can be prohibitive, with lessons often out of a lot of peoples budgets. Once you have passed your test buying a car can also prove expensive. It is often the case we have to buy cheap second hand cars as new cars are very expensive. Sometimes this is fine and you can have a reliable car, but other times you pick one up that’s not been well maintained and can cost you a fortune in repairs and keeping it on the road.
