The car is diesel powered and had a TDI turbo diesel engine. The R10 has a more developed technology so as to make the car more suitable for a competition and to make it a sure winner. It surpasses the possibilities and of the R8, while the size of the engine is smaller. The aerodynamic style makes this racing car more up to date with the latest racing trends.

Audi has the ambition to surpass BMW and Mercedes Benz in terms of luxury and safety and hopes to achieve this by 2015.

Michelle Mouton Reunites with her 1985 Pikes Peak HillClimb Winning Audi Sport Quattro

Michelle Mouton, one of the most successful and best-known female rally drivers of all time, will open Race Retro at the International Historic Motorsports Show at Stoneleigh Park near Coventry on Saturday, March 24, 2007 and will make a rare visit to Britain next weekend to be reunited with her 1985 Pikes Peak Hillclimb winning Audi Sport Quattro.

The 55 year-old French lady driver still remains to be the only woman to win a round of the World Rally Championship, sweeping the Audi to a record time of 11 minutes 25.39 seconds in Colorado. The World Rally held in Colorado was a 12.42 mile course that featured over 150 corners and climbed almost 5,000 ft. in elevation.

According to Michelle Mouton, “I was very pleased to win the race for myself—it was the first outright victory ever scored by a woman – and proud for Audi as it was the first time a European manufacturer’s rally car had won—it was something very special to beat the Americans on their home ‘soil’.”

The famous 1985 Pikes Peak near 500 bhp Audi Sport Quattro after 22 years was restored to its original glory not really by following the Volkswagen repair manuals that goes with the Quattro but through the relentless effort of the rally Quattro specialist John Hanlon. According to Hanlon, “The car has been stripped back to a bare metal body shell and fully rebuilt over the last nine weeks. Every component has been re-furbished to Audi Sport specification and we have imported the original BBS split rim wheels which the car competed on at Pikes Peak in 1985. The car will be in its authentic livery and technical specification at Stoneleigh. The fact that this actual car competed in the very last Group B WRC round (1986 Olympus Rally) is a huge factor of its appeal.”

Mouton said, “I was used to driving this Audi but the problem was the altitude. It starts at almost 9,500 ft above sea level ands we had to make adjustments to the electronic gearbox and turbocharger. The Hillclimb itself was very difficult as it’s very fast and quite narrow with no markers and sheer drops off the side—the event’s ‘Race to the Clouds’ title is very true—and I think it was probably the toughest challenge in my career.”

She also added, “There had been problems in testing which meant I wasn’t allowed to drive my car to the start, mechanics instead pushing me to the line, which made me mad and very determined. I really wanted to win, so I pushed very hard—sometimes almost too hard.”

It was in the year 1981 in Sweden that Hannu Mikkola scored Audi’s first World Rally Championship while Mouton won the San Remo Rally later that year and claim the first World Rally Championship for a lady driver. The Audi Quattro was also the first car with the four-wheel-drive and turbocharged engine to compete in the World Rally Championship.

A year after, in 1982, Mouton achieved an outright WRC wins in Portugal, Greece--- wherein the Acropolis Rally was held-- and also in Brazil where she was able to win a second place in the Driver’s WRC and contested 50 WRCs between 1974 to 1986. Audi won the Manufacturers’ World Championship in 1982 and 1984. Hannu Mikkola and Stig Blomqvist both win the Drivers’ titles with Audi for years 1983 and 1984 respectively.

John Hanlon purchased the Audi last March from a private collector in America, aside from Mouton the Audi Sport Quattro was also driven by Walter Rohrl for the 1985 Corsica WRC and afterwards was taken hold by John Buffum who has successfully campaigned in North America.

At present Audi is leading the way in creating the technology in diesel-engined sportscars in endurance racing and made history last year when it won the Le Mans 24 Hours with its diesel Audi R10 TDI.

The Audi S5

Less than twenty four hours after the first photos of Audi A5 coupe has spread in the internet came more photos but this time revealing its S5 performance sibling. Although there is still no news as to when the S5 will be launched - whether it will be presented before the A5 or whether it will have the upgrade version of Audi’s 4.2 including the FSI and the new Valvelift technology that would give it more power. All these remain as theories for the time being.

But basing on the photos spreading on the net, you can see that the S5 sports a more aggressive front fascia and S-car trademark grey grille. Also new to S-car is what appears to be an aluminum segment mounted on the center of the chin spoiler which could also be an optical illusion due to the fact that the car is silver. However the segment appears to be of accenting aluminum which is likened to elements seen on the allroad.

Photos showing the front of the car reveal for the first time the lit LED daytime running lights which are much inspired by those on the R8. The rounded bars of light redefine the shape of the lights when they are activated. The quad exhaust tips that the S5 have together wit its corresponding center aluminum segment help it further at the rear.

The interior of the S5 also showcase several new design elements like for instance the RS 4 inspired shift knob which is similar to the one seen in A5 photos although it has white stitching on the steering wheel and shift boot which are likened to those of the S6 and S8.

Likewise, the two-material trim style at the belt of the S5 looks as if they are inspired by the interior of the A6 which is made even more prominent by its aluminum and carbon fiber mix which are not that close in appearance and feel to those found on the S6. The carbon fiber trim that can be seen on the S5 is found at the center console accent and on the left of the interior where it is fitted to the driver’s side door. There is also a start button on the center console that is seen on the A5 seems to be replaced with an equivalent silver aluminum version for the S5.

Other new features that are going to be seen on the S5 is the dash-mounted MMI controls which are positioned to the center console just below the shifter for cars with Navigation and the optional in-dash CD changer.

And speaking of sports coupe, Volkswagen owner of Audi brand has launched a sporty hatchback from 1974 through 1992 the Volkswagen Scirocco. The model was very successful and helped in boosting Volkswagen’s reputation. Although the production of the Scircocco coupe has stopped in 1992 but production of Volkswagen Scirocco parts has continued. As a fact, Europe’s largest is planning to revive its Scirocco with a third generation model in 2008 and that of course would mean production of new lines of Volkswagen Scirocco parts.

Audi A6: Sporting the Good Effects of Surgery

It has been said that a person undergoing medical procedures like plastic surgery would have a price to pay. It could be, literally, a huge amount of money to spend, or it could also be meant figuratively. It could mean that there could be some kind of complications during or after the procedure, or a person could get some unwanted side effects, or that the procedure would only make the situation grave or much worse. However, looking on the positive light, there is also a good effect as per undergoing plastic surgery and medical procedures. One could look better and much more attractive. And just like a person who has undergone a medical procedure and plastic surgery, the Audi A6 took that kind of chance and risk.

The new Audi A6 now sports huge improvements as well as taking in a little addition to its size. It provides leaping improvements in handling as well as in its ride result. There also has been an increase in chassis stiffness, as well as a lengthening of the Audi A6’s wheelbase which was an additional 3.3 inches. The weight has also been redistributed.

The Audi A6 is an executive luxury car. This is sold under the brand Audi which is produced and manufactured by the German automaker Volkswagen company. This vehicle has been made available in two trim levels which comprise of the sedan and the station wagon which is more known as the Audi A6 Avant. In the automobile market, it has been said that its main competitors include the Mercedes Benz E Class, the BMW 5 Series, the Alfa Romeo 166, the Jaguar S-Type, the Lexus GS, and the Volvo S80.

The newly restyled Audi A6 has had a new trapezoidal grille which is very much similar to the grille that was introduced and used early on by another vehicle that was marketed in Europe only. This new grille provided much talk in the automobile world and that is exactly what Audi wanted. The interior also shows some of the best designs that Audi has done over the years. It is very much comfortable and at the same time convenient. High technology equipments and instruments has also been mounted as part of the whole package. It now holds the i-drive type control button which has been formatted from the Audi A8. Now this control button works very well and could be easily manipulated and controlled by those people who have the stocked knowledge on computers. As for space and roominess, the Audi A6 surely did not want to be left behind for it has allowed and allocated a generosity of these. The cabin is very much capable of preventing any kind of wind noise, road noise, or any external noise for that matter, to come inside.

Audi S5 Reviewed In Fast autos

A completely new model, the Audi S5 is the top of the 5 Series, a brand new range which is filled out with the A5 models. All look very similar, and provide good performance in a neat package. Stiff competition for the BMW 3 series coupe, but can it compete with the BMW 650i, Jaguar XK or Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG? Possibly.

In any event, the Audi S5 is a sleek looking coupe, with a front end reminiscent of the R8, and a semi-fastback roof line, and just discernible swept lines up and over the front and rear wheels. It is a smart looking car, and one that will blend in well at the country club. Like almost all Audi designs, the S5 and A5 are smart, balanced designs with some neat features, but there is nothing shocking, nothing very exciting about the shape.

V-8 power, 354 bhp

But what about performance? Well, Audi has picked its V-8 to give enough power to see off many competitors, although this is not the most powerful version of this superb engine. For the S5 it is rated at 354 bhp at 7,000 rpm, with 325 lb ft (440 Nm) torque at 3,500 rpm, against the 420 bhp of the RS4.

So it is not as fast as it might be, but still packs plenty of oomph, taking the S5 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, which is true supercar territory, while top speed is limited to 155 mph. This really puts it up with some heavy metal, although it is nowhere as quick as the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG, which has 480 bhp on tap from a massive 6.2 liter engine.

On the other hand, the straightline performance of the Audi A5 is slightly better than that of the BMW 650i and Jaguar XK, and up there with the likes of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Porsche 911 Carrera.

The V-8 is coupled to a six-speed manual box in the S5. More important, Audi has adopted a front:rear torque split of 40:60% for the center differential. This means that in the normal state the car will not understeer strongly like the front-biased split of some Audi quattros. This means the car will handle nearer neutral, which is good.

Also new is the double-wishbone front suspension and trapezoidal multi-link rear suspension which will ensure good tracking and handling.

Audi A4: Bringing in More Power

It is the first convertible bearing four seats that Audi, the automobile manufacturer, has created long after the Audi Cabriolet. And this is the new 2006 Audi A4. This vehicle is a totally solid vehicle and a good companion. Audi has marketed this vehicle as the type of car that you would want to bring to different occasions and locations for it is elegant, smart, and will not embarrass you. The 2006 Audi A4 is only offered with a front wheel drive along with an automatic transmission. It is totally supreme for it has a restrained appearance unlike other vehicles on the road. This vehicle swamped the automobile market early last year, 2005.

The 2006 Audi A4 is good to use for it has the capacity to transport its driver and passengers through long distances yet still give them excellent comfort. The convertible’s sports seats have a wide range of electrical position adjustments. Also, there is the option of utilizing leather upholstery, lumbar support and an adjustable thigh support. This vehicle is totally stylish and has a very sporty body. It holds a bumper that has large air inlets. Its xenon headlights have a titanium-colored surround behind the glass. And it also contains outside mirror housings that has been provided and sprayed over with an aluminum finish. Taking a view at the 2006 Audi A4’s rear, one can find out the power exhaust tailpipes on both sides – this is quite typical for the Audi S models.

Far from being just a vehicle that has just been given a new skin, the 2006 Audi A4 convertible sports changes other than that. This vehicle now holds a substantially upgraded suspension. Under its hood lie two new direct-injection gasoline engines. Also, the engine has also gained some power. This vehicle now has the capacity to produce some 200 horsepower and around 207 pound feet of torque.

This 2006 Audi A4 also brags about a new steering wheel as well as a new navigation system although most critics have found that it is not that remarkable so it should not be something to brag about.

This convertible from Audi sports features like tinted glass, power outside mirrors that contain a defogger, an aluminum trim around its side windows, polycarbonate covers for its aerodynamic ellipsoid halogen projector headlights, heated windshield washer nozzles, fog lights for the front and the rear, an anti-lock brake system with vaccump ower assist, Sideguard™ head protection airbags for front and rear occupants, dual-stage and dual-threshold airbag supplemental restraints with occupant sensors, front and rear passenger safety belts, active driver and front passenger head restraints, and a power locking system with a safety unlock feature in the case that the airbag deploys.

Audi unveils V12 TDI, Expands Product Portfolio in India

Audi has unveiled its new V12 TDI turbodiesel at the 2007 North American Auto Show in Detroit. The V12 which Audi calls the “majestic” has aroused various reactions from the crowd. Most of the people present at the Auto Show think that majestic is not an accurate description of the 6L diesel that cranks 500HP and 737 lb-ft of torque power. The great power of the V12 TDI is produced through a pair of variable-vane turbochargers that apply 1.6 bar (24PSI) of pressure to the intercooled intake charge. The direct injection system of the TDI which employs piezoelectric injectors to spray fuel together with the multiple pre and post combustion events at an amazing 2000 bar (30,000 PSI) also helps in powering up the TDI. Audi has also made sure that the TDI meets up with the 2010 Euro-5 standard by means of its heavy use of exhaust gas circulation that keeps emission level down. The power produced by the TDI is then fed to its all-wheel-drive system that maintains a 40:60 front-rear balance that gives this car the “slightly tail-heavy, sporty handling characteristics.” And to bring this monster car to a halt, Audi has equipped it with a set of monstrous disc brakes that are specially fitted for the TDI. Its interior is trimmed with white leather and light-colored carbon filter. The V12 TDI turbodiesel is not the only new in Audi for 2007. The German luxury car manufacturer is also planning to expand its product portfolio for this year in India and it would start by introducing four new variants of vehicles to add to their eleven existing variants. The said new models of vehicles are to be introduced in a phased manner--- so far this is the only info available since Rahil Ansari, Country Manager of Audi for India have refused to divulge any details of the said plan.Audi, manufacturer of quality A4 tie rods is also planning of getting head to head with Mercedes-Benz in the selling luxury model most especially in the E-segment in which Mercedes is currently dominating. Audi has decided to launch their 2.7 liter petrol and diesel variants and have it priced in par with that of the Mercedes-Benz E-280 of the same variant. Audi’s existing fleet under the E-segment is the A4 3-litre offered in both petrol and diesel variant but cost Rs 5 lakh higher than the cost of Mercedes-Benz E-class range costing only Rs 48 to 50 lakh. Audi is also planning to introduce its 3.2 litre V6 engine variant and priced it within the bracket of Rs 40 lakh plus. And according to industry sources the German automaker may offer it in limited number only. At present there are eight dealerships in India: one in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore and five other new dealerships across the country. Audi is also considering the possibility of setting up a manufacturing facility in India.

Are You Looking for a Luxury Car? Consider the Cadillac CTS Posted By : Everett Ryder

Sometimes it seems that a car is far more than just a car. Talk to someone with a Land Rover and they're sure to tell you that their vehicle is much more than just a Jeep, while Jeep drivers will tell you that their vehicles are a way of life.

Turn on the TV and you're likely to hear that when you're looking for a long-lasting vehicle, you should turn to a Honda, and if you're looking for quality, you should consider buying a Toyota.

Similarly, many will tell you that if you are looking for a luxury ride, if you're looking for vehicle that's high on both class and style there's only one option: you'll have to get yourself a Cadillac.

There are going to be some who see the name Cadillac and initially dismiss it as a brand that their parents or grandparents might drive. But those who understand a need for speed, luxury styling and a manual transmission will tell you that the Cadillac CTS has everything the savvy shopper and driver may want to find in a vehicle.

First, there's the Cadillac CTS engine - a 2.8-liter dual overhead engine with an output well over 200-horsepower - that will get you started in a hurry as soon as the light turns green or when the freeway traffic eases up.

Then there's the interior. Proving once again that the Cadillac CTS is far from a traditional Caddy with a more youthful feel, the CTS has comfortable leather seats, an easy to navigate dash and an absence of the wood trim that many younger drivers feel is out-of-place in an automobile.

Instead, the Cadillac CTS focuses on all of the features that younger drivers are looking for - quality, luxury, responsive power, and best of all, speed. Drivers and passengers of the Cadillac CTS will find that there's plenty of space in the front and rear seats. They'll find that climate control is a breeze in the CTS - with all of the controls easy to access and use.

Most importantly, they'll find that they have easy control over a high-quality stereo system - a system that is iPod friendly, making it easy to keep the stereo playing your favorite tracks whether you are driving across town or across the country on a road trip with friends.

Equally handy for those who are taking long road trips is the navigation system that is optional on the Cadillac CTS. With GM's OnStar system, you'll find street maps, hear turn-by-turn directions along with distances, and be able to plan the best route for getting to where you want to be.

With the Cadillac CTS, you'll find all of the luxurious styling that is synonymous with the Cadillac brand. You'll find a smooth driving and riding experience, and you will find that Cadillac makes it easy for you to be able to customize your car so that it has everything that you really want and need.

Are you looking for more power than the standard CTS will offer? Then, upgrade to the Cadillac CTS-V with its 400-horsepower V8 engine that will deliver 0-to-60 mph performance in 4.6 seconds.

What most folks simply do not realize is that the Cadillac brand generally produces some of the fastest American-made cars in the marketplace. According to an article written by Isaak Carter in 2007 titled, "Surprises in the American Performance Car Market", Cadillac had three of the fastest American-built automobiles in the 2006 model line-up. In fact, the four-door Cadillac CTS-V finished in ninth place in the Forbes countdown, with a top-speed of 163 mph. One reviewer even described the Cadillac CTS-V as a "luxury sedan with the performance of a Corvette."

If you want to be sure that your car's temperature is comfortable even on the coldest days, then upgrade to the heated seats - and if you are really serious about a vehicle that caters to your every whim, you can also opt for the heated steering wheel that is offered with the Cadillac CTS models. Want a sound system that your friends will be envious of you for having? Then, upgrade your speakers and consider having a satellite radio system installed.

Envy is a beautiful thing, when you see it on the faces of the people in your life. Take the Cadillac CTS for a test drive and see for yourself why it is one of the top-rated vehicles in the luxury automobile marketplace.

Acunda Cars Posted By : William Phillips

Acunda Cars is a unique automotive service and repair company. Exclusive Acura and Honda specialty shop with almost two decades of product experience. This will be the 11th year of business but new to the Charlotte area coming up on the second year here. Having moved from Tampa Florida in its much larger shop of 6 employees , the owner now is comfortable and enjoys doing all the hands on work personally to every vehicle.

The quality of work that way is much higher and fixing little things for free that most tech's do not notice or care about the owner uses to say thank you for choosing Acunda Cars.

One of first things many notice coming into the shop is how clean and organized it is. The owner having Military training as a ( level 9 Jet engine Mechanic ) learned in the 70's that being organized and clean was not an option but life in the maintenance field.

Many also have expressed the benefit of getting all their answers to their Acura and Honda questions by an owner who not only owns and drives them but has been involved with the product long enough to see it develop into a class of cars all of their own.

Being a Master ASE Tech. for 20 years and a Acura Master, NSX Master and Honda Master Tech. for over 15 years the owner thinks, sleeps, breathes Acura and Honda. He doesn't claim to be the most knowledgeable or the best technician in this country on the product but claims to be good enough to get the job done with accuracy and integrity.

The sales departments at the Acura and Honda dealers do not seem to have to work to hard to sell the product " it sells itself ". The owners concern is that the sales department do not take the time to explain the necessary services required by the Manufacture to keep it running correctly. .This year a customer came to Acunda Cars with a 86 Honda Accord LXI hatchback and it had over 550,000 miles on the Speedo and was serviced regularly by the car owners ( a truck driver ) . He travels to Florida a lot and racks the miles on it. The dealer wants to buy it back from him but he refuses to sell.

With a long suit in ethics the owner makes sure you get what you paid for. The prices he charges are not only fair but accurate to what it takes to run a good shop that will be around awhile. Having taken many automotive management courses by one of the top leading industry California based companies he has learned how to stay out of the pit falls that the novice repair shop might fall into, therefore producing a more quality product for the customer to enjoy.

He almost quit the career when he first started in 1977 as a Chevy light duty technician. With American cars there is one engineer to design the component and eight engineers to design it to break after warrantee. Seems to be all about the money with the domestic vehicles. When he stumbled across the Honda product as a dealer tech he saw the symmetry and logic and craftsmanship of the Honda product and felt finally at home.

From an engineering point of view there is no manufacture that spends more in research and development then Honda . He continues to be impressed by the innovative Ideas and care put into their cars. This is what inspires him to do the same to maintain this leading product.

Give Acunda Cars a try today and see the difference your self.

Don't be Scared When Buying a Car Posted By : Dennis James

Car buying can be a scary idea for many people, and that's true whether you're buying a new or a used car. The problem isn't the cars, they can't bite, the problem is the sales men. They do have teeth and can give you what sounds like one hell of a deal!

When you are buying a car you must be realistic and not get carried away, you should also stand your ground. Car sales people are very clever, they will try to sell you what they have in stock, rather than what you really want.

If you go in wanting a 4x4 and come out with a sports car, the only person that will find it amusing is the sales man. Ok so there is a small chance you will never regret buying a sports car, but in the winter you could well wind up wishing that you stood your ground and brought a nice 4x4.

So rule number one, stand your ground! Don't get pushed around by the sales people, because only you know what you want.

Cars can be quite difficult to buy because the technology changes on a pretty much daily basis, ok well maybe not that quickly. Cars now come with air conditioning as standard; a few years ago this was relatively unknown. Cars also now have xenon headlamps, which are supposed to offer us a brighter, clearer light.

Because of this, cars are specialist knowledge and so it's really easy for a con man, oh I'm sorry sales man to pull the wool over your eyes.

There are good things about this modern car market though, there is a lot of competition, and therefore there are a lot of deals going around at the moment. It should be possible to negotiate. You should never pay the price on the label, you must always negotiate. Few people like negotiating when buying a new car, but you must!

So rule number 2 when buying a car is to negotiate! You should screw the sales man as hard as possible. Remember to ask for extras early on, before you sign anything. If you want mats and mud flaps thrown in, then ask once you've got the price down. The process should go like this:

1. Negotiate on price
2. When you think the price is lowest negotiate on extras

Buying a new car can be a very exciting time for most people, however it's important to not to get carried away and drive your new car as soon as you get it. It is very important to calm down, take a deep breath, and inspect the car before you drive away.

It's often the case that you are so excited that it's so easy to miss things, just tiny little defects may not appear apparent. However should you drive away with this car it will be much harder to get these faults rectified later on.

You should take the car on a test drive before purchasing it to make sure it handles ok on the road. Cars can be quite temperamental things, and you certainly don't want to be buying trouble.

People rely upon their cars for day to day life, and so if it broke down it could be disastrous. You should buy a reliable car. If you're buying used, there's nothing wrong with that, and in fact it's sensible. Just make sure you are buying a good, honest car, that won't end up costing you much more than you paid for it.

Once you've got it home, then you can be excited about it! Just never compare it to your baby, that never goes very well for some reason.

Fly with the Bentley Posted By : Lance Dixon

Have you ever seen the winged "B" badge of the Bentley and felt like flying? If yes, you are not the only one! People all around the world dream of owning a Bentley and why not, its stature is just too big not to be desired! Bentley Motors was established in England in January 1919. The founder was Walter Owen Bentley. Walter Owen was always fascinated by combustible engines and racing motorcycles, like most young boys are, and the Bentley was an outcome of this passion.

Bentley Motors has a history full of turns and twists and quite an interesting one too! Lets skim through its pages.

The manufacturing of the Bentley started with a 3-litre engine car which was very advanced for its times. It had four cylinders, single overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder and twin-spark ignition via two magnetos. But it did make some noise. It is said, that this noise once irritated a nurse who was attending to a dying patient. To everyone's surprise, a person present there had then said 'A happy sound to die to"! Such was the beginning of the Bentley!

The Bentley was and is primarily known as a racing car. It has won many Le Mans trophies. The Le Mans is a 24-hour car endurance test held in France. It tests a car to it limits and those who can sustain the grill, command tremendous respect and awe in the automobile market. These races also provided a huge advertisement for the Bentley. The first Bentley,the 3-litre car, participated and came a very respectable 4th!

From then on, there was no looking back and Bentley motors went on to make some of the finest cars ever known. Sometimes the manufacturing was so slow that the cars were made just before delivery and at times even the demonstration cars had to be sold. But their popularity never ceased to soar. In reality fewer people bought them due to their high prices but still everyone secretly thought of taking control of one of these. After a few years, it was announced that Bentley Motors would retire from racing as they were falling short of money. As well as this, all the rash race driving was giving the common man a very bad impression about the car. Some people were wary of buying the car, as they saw it as a symbol of rough driving. Somewhat in order to break this image, Bentley Motors manufactured a bewitching limousine passenger car. But by this time, the great depression had taken its toll on Bentley Motors, leaving it in financial doldrums. Hence it was decided to sell the fi! rm. Thus Rolls Royce took over Bentley Motors in a very dramatic manner in 1931. At that time Bentley was the most formidable rival of Rolls Royce and the world saw this as a mega deal for Rolls Royce. Actually it was good news for Bentley (in one way at least), that their baby would at least be in some experienced hands. Thus the Bentley was actually with Bentley Motors only till 1931.

The Volkswagen Group ,a German company, has been the owner of Bentley since 1998. The Bentleys are manufactured at the Crewe factory in England.

The various current and popular models of this car are Arnage, Azure, Continental GT, Continental Flying Spur and Continental GTC.

Luxury, elegance and comfort characterize all the Bentleys. Features like emergency fuel shut-off device, child safety door locks located on rear doors, engine immobilizer, front seatbelt height adjusters, fog lights, anti-theft protection, airbags with occupant sensors, computers keeping track of average speed, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption and range for remaining fuel, keyless entry operated via key fob, tire pressure monitor, separate driver/front passenger climate controls, rear window defroster, heated washer system, bluetooth incorporated telephone system, electric foldable mirrors, ashtrays, full maps, remote controlled DVD, several speakers, headlight cleaners, leather seats, tinted glass ,a variety of interior lighting, etc. make the Bentley, a precious buy. The Azure also has a sunroof/moonroof and a removable/convertible top!

The Bentley cars are immediately recognizable by the huge headlights they flaunt. But unlike their easy to spot features, they are very difficult and intricate to make! The Bentley is known as a highly reliable, sturdy and versatile car. Versatile, as it combines uncompromising luxury with enviable performance and reliability.

Can You Buy a Car Online Posted By : Dennis James

Do you really think that people are buying cars and trucks online? Absolutely, it took sometime for the automobile industry to setup a presence on the Internet, but buying vehicles online is now an option that is here to stay.

In fact, vehicles sales on the Internet are becoming one of the top categories when it comes to analyzing terms of gross merchandise volume. Shopping for a car or truck online is now as common as ordering a DVD movie or any other product through the different shopping web sites.

The enthusiasm displayed by buyers and sellers of cars is easily observed in the way they have embraced the Internet as a major trading venue for all types of automobiles, vehicles, and automotive parts, thanks to the huge potential market that the World Wide Web offers to all.

People, who hardly thought it was possible to buy a car over the Internet, today are avid online researchers trying to find the best deals or to analyze the characteristics of a car of truck before going to a dealer to make their purchase, although this is not absolutely necessary.

The increasing number of car and truck manufacturers and dealers has found a powerful ally in telemarketing and online marketing. Thus, potential buyers have no need to move away from home to purchase a brand new car or truck.

Filling in an online form is even more convenient that ordering a car by phone, since the Internet shows you how your new car looks before actually own it or visit the dealer to see it.

In addition, it is becoming more and more common for buyers to complete an entire purchase online, never seeing the car until they own it, and there are numerous car-buying web sites, popular by their interactive design that let you appreciate in detail each of the vehicles available.

Furthermore, online car traders offer an array of auto parts and services that translates in greater value to the customers, and increased volume of sales, although it is not mandatory that a car dealer or manufacturer offer these services, that anyway are available through countless online auto parts merchants.

Doing an online research today is faster than in past times. The Internet offers powerful search engines that facilitate your work while seeking a truck or car. Internet research is faster and easier alternative to visiting dealers directly.

Car manufacturer's web sites and vehicle information sites such as caranddriver.com and edmunds.com are the way to go when it comes to comparing between car brands and models, based on price, year of introduction, miles per gallon, body type, curb weight, powertrain layout, transmission, configuration, displacement, and other features.

Today, more than ever before in the history of automobile, new car shoppers have the opportunity to narrow down their choices, before ordering online, telephone, or visiting a dealer for a test-drive if they want. Even better is the option for the used car shopper who can now select from used cars available nationwide rather than just those cars available in their local area.

As more car-related web sites come online, more people are able to shop or negotiate a car purchase. However, it is up to state laws, whether you can complete an entire car transaction over the Internet.

However, many web sites can deliver vehicles to a dealer near the buyer after checking the quality of a particular car or truck, making shoppers rest assured in the knowledge that an ASE-certified automotive technician has inspected the available cars.

The Internet has simplified the process of buying a car, revealing all mysteries, and making it possible to find dealers with return or exchange policies and countrywide locations where cars can be returned. Because car information is no longer controlled by dealers, shoppers can complete a transaction at a fair price.

Purchasing a car or truck online is a growing trend that approach shoppers to available inventories, models, price comparison, and further research on quality-check before buying a vehicle.

Second hand car clientele have by no means had it so blessed. Primarily, it the prices that went steep down across various brands. Licensed dealers or car manufacturers - Daewoo, Suzuki and Ford - are introducing a new sector of smartened up second-hand cars. Suzuki and Ford sellers have gone deeper and are even offering a warranty of six-month for the second hand cars. All is fine till the here but a common man faces various tribulations getting away with a car. As a guide here are some things you need to keep in mind while buying a car from the used car market.

Step 1: What should I exactly buy?
1. Don't be attracted to low-cost cars. Their insurance may be dear as it may be an imported car.
2. Older cars will need more safeguarding and servicing repairs. If you have brought an exotic variety car, finding spare parts may be problematic.
3. Think pragmatically about how much your car will cost to run (fuel, tax, insurance cover and repairs etc.), and how much you can actually afford.

Step 2: From whom should I buy?
You need to decide amongst a private merchant and an official dealer. If you have less information a certified dealer is the best bet for your money.

- Registration number present on the vehicle's tax disc dittos the one on the registration agreement document.
- Be particular about the name of the authenticity of the person you are buying from
- VIN number of the vehicle, which is situated either on the chassis or underneath the bonnet.

- Get data check done.

- Vigilantly look at the peripheral, chiefly at areas prone to rust (the base, the door handles, etc.)

-Always check the odometer for mileage as a used car can decrease the mileage.

Step 4: Price negotiation;
When buying outside a certified dealer, you can negotiate the price on the tag value of your car. That's why many people choose a private dealer over an authorized dealer.

Step 5: Sale Settlement.
When making payment for the new vehicle, get a written receipt with the confirmed amount paid by you and the warranty etc.
Used cars are also available on popular websites like eBay and many other websites.
EBay has a massive traffic flooding in, on the site. Hence you can bid for your dream wizard and take pleasure in winning bets there. So there is a whole mountain of alternatives for you to make your decision from.
