Loved Model 2010 Honda Accord Brings Few Changes to Its Best

Honda fans will be pleased to see so little change with the 2010 model of the Honda Accord. With a body that has not changed much since the 2008 birth of the eighth generation Accord, the 2010 model will see only minute improvements on an already near-perfect vehicle.

Seal of Approval

The reviews are in and the 2010 Honda Accord ranks exceptionally high for spaciousness and offering an upscale feel without the upscale price. The Accord's resale value, too, keeps Honda buyers loyal to the model.

Super Safety Features

The Honda Accord is well known for its safety features. Its awards are a testament to its reliability and security. The 2010 model received several awards, including:

• Edmunds' Inside Line 2009 Readers' Most Wanted Vehicle Award under $30,000
• Yahoo! Auto's Excelerator Award
• Car and Driver's 10 Best Awards
• Kelly Blue Book's Best Resale Value Award

If, when driving your Accord you under steer or over steer, this system will get you back in control by braking individual wheels and reducing engine power.

Anti-Lock Disc Brakes
Now standard on Hondas, the ABS system with Electronic Brake Distribution helps you maintain control when braking hard.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Underinflated tires are the cause of many avoidable accidents, so the Honda Accord's Tire Pressure Monitoring System helps drivers by alerting them when tire pressure is under the recommended psi.

Airbags
The 2010 Honda Accord offers more airbags than ever, with coverage on the front, front side and side curtain, as well as active front head restraints that prevent the whiplash.

Better for the Environment
Honda has been making great strides toward building more eco-friendly vehicles, and the 2010 Honda Accord is no exception. The Accord runs smoothly on regular unleaded gas, and Partial-Zero-Emission Vehicle (PZEV) technology that keeps emissions to a minimum. The Accord gets 31 miles to the gallon on the highway.

Features Updates
The one place the Honda Accord will show some necessary updates is in its features. Now, all EX-L models will include Bluetooth hands-free cell phone linking, whereas in the past only the EX-L models that had navigation systems offered Bluetooth. Accord lovers who pay close attention will notice the interior trim is lighter gray to better offset against the dark gray buttons, and the dual-zone automatic climate control has been improved to be more user-friendly.

However the Pilot which seats eight passengers is still a stylish looking sports utility vehicle and has become a popular mainstay with Americans ever since it's inception in 2003.

Hot Rod Cars

As the summer approaches you are likely to see more and more hot rods hit the street. Hot rod cars are simply old, inexpensive cars that have been gutted out and restored. At times, they are have also been altered and have had parts replaced or some other sort of aesthetic updates. Hot rod refers to a cars can, which is often taken out and replaced when the hot rod is altered. In some cases, the entire engine, transmission, steering and breaks are replaced.

There is a really big culture that embraces and celebrates hot rods in the United States and in some places in Europe. They create clubs and get together for meetings and drives.

Many of the hot rods were manufactured in the 1930s and the 1940's and were manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. These types of cars were popular because they were inexpensive and could be altered by simply purchasing and using scrap metal parts. Today, you'll find many people improving and updating their hot rod cars and taking them either to races or to hot rod shows. Other individuals simply enjoy keeping them in their garage and tooling on them in their free time.

There are different types of hot rods. The most popular ones are the rat rod and the street rod. Along with the hot Rod Car, are of course the girls. Hot rod girls generally are models that are featured with very little clothing in the hot rod magazines, often acting as accessories. You will also find them in calendars and sometimes at car shows.

Today, the fascination with hot rod cars continues. Some individuals spend thousands of hours fixing up their cars. If you are an individual that is interested in doing so, you will need to first find a hot rod vehicle and also parts. Some good places to look are junk yards, related magazines, hot rides sales or traders. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can also order something that's customized. Customized parts that represent you and your personal style is always cool to add to a hot rod. There are also steel reproductions available. However, they can get pretty costly.

Street rods are also well known and are different then hot rods. They can be modified as much as the owner wants. The only requirement is that they are modified from a car that was made in 1948 or earlier. They also have to be functional and safe. They are not for racing.

2010 Camaro Performance Chips

The performance chip or tuner is a way to reprogram the internal computer inside a vehicle. Most vehicles have the capability to use one of these chips or tuners and the 2010 Camaros are no exception to this. One may ask the question, is there a large selection to choose from or is it one of those things that one choice is all that is available? The answer to that question is yes there are many different options, and with all of the different options come different benefits catering to every individuals needs. Today we will just cover three of many choices but most of them will be very similar in their performance and increase in efficiency.

The first that we will cover is the Diablo Sport Predator. The Diablo Sport name was founded in 2000 and has continued to be a leader in the Performance chips and tuners industry since. Diablo Sport has claimed performance increase of 20+ horse power and 20+ ft/lbs of torque on the new 2010 Camaro L99 with the automatic transmission and they even do a little better on the LS3 motor with the manual transmission. They'll boost the LS3 by about 25 on both. With gains of 1-3 mpg fuel efficiency as long as you aren't racing around town. Installing the Diablo Sport will only take about 10 minutes with an on screen display that practically walks you right through the install. They do not void any warranties that may be available from Chevrolet, and they come with a 2 year manufacturer warranty of their own.

If you want or need to restore the original programming it is just as easy as installing the reprogrammed one. You just go through the exact same steps and choose the stock setting. There's also another fancy little feature of the diablosport predator on the 2010 Camaros with the L99 automatic. When you put the car in cruise control, it shuts down four of the cylinders to get better gas mileage. The only problem with that is the car doesn't sound the same anymore. With the diablo, you can disable that feature, making it run on all 8 cylinders all the time.

The second tuner on the agenda is the Hypertech Max Energy for the 2010 Camaro. The Max Energy Power Programmer extracts every bit of energy possible. With this nifty little tuner you have the power to boost horse power and torque, improve gas mileage, raise top speed limiter, raise the "RPM" rev limiter, recalibrate speedometer, read, and display and clear DTCs.

They are internet updateable with the USB included and they are legal in all 50 states. In most cases 12 horse power and 20 ft/lbs of torque are common giving the Camaro better in traffic response time. Just like the Diablo Sport you can expect 1-3 mpg fuel efficiency. Also this product does not void the factory warranty with a 1 year warranty of its own. They include two performance tunes for either 91 octane or 93 octane fuel. Although hypertech puts out a nice product, most people go the way of the diablo instead because the features are close to identical, but the power gains of the diablo are bigger.

Jet Performance boasts about their gains for the Camaro of 15+ Horse power. Fuel and timing curves are modified for optimal performance and mileage using less expensive, lower octane fuels. Just like the other two you do have the possibility of up to an extra 3 miles per gallon, it will require a little discipline on the driver's part, keep the foot off the floor. Installing it is easy, in less than 10 minutes of installing the chip and there you're off to play. They also offer their one year warranty against defects. They have two different versions of the chip available. There's a stage one chip, that is designed for stock 2010 camaros. They have a stage two also, that is designed for modded 2010 camaros, that have other mild boltons like a cold air intake, headers, exhaust, or others. The nice thing about the tuners is they work on stock or modified engines, but if you know what you need, the jet chips are also a great way to go.

Lamborghini Superleggera Review

The auto industry is full of cars that are both widely popular or so rare that many of us do not recognize them if we saw it driving by us. Out of all of the many types and brands my favorite has and will always be the Lamborghini. This supercar automaker understand what goes into making something that is full of luxury and power.

The Murcielago and the Gallardo are two of their most popular models. One that is fairly new to the industry is the Superleggera. This car was debuted during the 2007 Geneva Auto Show to compete against the up and coming Ferrari 430 Scuderia. This super light model was a tribute to the very first Lamborghini model - the 350GT.

This particular model is equipped with an improved intake, exhaust, and ECU that push it to 520 horsepower. All of this is connected to the six speed e-gear transmission that comes standard with it. This is great for many consumers who no longer have to spend $10,000 to add it to the car.

Top Reasons to Buy Toyota 2010 Corolla XRS 5-Spd AT

Out of all available trims, I find Corolla XRS 5-Spd AT model as the best deal. Although other available trims have their significant advantages and features but I have few parameters to be thought upon before buying any of the trims of the same family. The only reason I find for someone to choose any other trim is money as one may need to spend around $3000 more to own this model. However, I believe that this expense is justified as it has so much to offer than any other trim available.

This model is equipped with 2.4L I4, 16 valves engine that offers 158 horsepower @ 6000 rpm, while rest of the trims are equipped with a standard 1.8L I4, 16 valves engine that offer maximum horsepower of 132 @ 6000 rpm. This model offer 5-speed automatic transmission while no other trim offers the same.

Looking at the extra features it offers, power door locks, fog lights rear spoiler, splash and mud guard, rear air dam, cruise control, steering wheel mounted controls, map light, adaptive automatic transmission and automatic transmission are a few things that make this model superior to other models.

Other than features, this model is better in technical specification as well. With a better engine, 5 speed automatic transmission and 22/30 mpg of fuel economy, this model is the best option for those who believe in the best and quality.

Legacy of Excellence Of Mitsubishi

A new age band diesel locomotive is what Mitsubishi Motor Company together with Mitsubishi Heavy Production would be functioning on. They have moved toward to fasten together their labor force and investigative minds so as to generate a new age bracket diesel locomotive. First and foremost, Mitsubishi Motors is set upon making use of this new diesel locomotive as an innovative feature to automobiles that they would be selling abroad to the Europe province.

The conformity amid these 2 organizations has so far to be finalized. On the other hand, once it has been positioned on document, the whole thing would almost immediately start to commence. The expansion would after that be on the go and both of these associations are aiming on mass manufacture of such an innovative category of locomotive come by 2010.

Mitsubishi has determined on mounting such an innovative variety of locomotives for Europe for the reason that the marketplace has been screaming for diesel locomotives. In actual fact, vehicles escalated with such locomotives are beginning to nurture in auctions. To one side of that, Europe is exposed for motor vehicles that have lesser carbon dioxide discharges. And Mitsubishi has before now lain down its wits on being the vehicle producer that could fetch what that advertise demands.

Diesel engine to be launched by Mitsubishi:
So what category of diesel locomotive would this be? Mitsubishi declares that they possibly be manufacturing and mounting a 2-liter locomotive. They would be escalating this on automobiles that vary from the undersized ones to midsize motor vehicles. Certainly, they are scheduling on making certain that this new locomotive would congregate the severe and new production customaries in Europe which is named as Euro5.

What Mitsubishi motor vehicles would this innovative diesel locomotive be on? In accordance with Mitsubishi, they possibly make clear in the mind that the major Mitsubishi advertise models under attack for the Europe marketplace would be profiting from this. He consequently arranged the establishment for the succeeding growth and expansion of the Mitsubishi Company. The company also shares a universal inheritance and custom of superiority which dated back in the year 1870.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

The new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is offered in two different versions, one being the GSR which only has a five speed manual transmission, Recaro Sports Seats and Enkei Wheels. You can also get the optional spoiler, the HID headlights and the upgraded sound system. These are all nice and everything, but if you had that extra thousand available, spend on it on what i'm driving today.

The new MR model is sublime in every way possible. It comes with Mitsubishi's new Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST) which makes driving this car so great. It shifts smooth and very quick. I don't think I lost any torque at all between shifts which is fantastic. You can also use the three different modes: Normal, Sport and S-Sport, depending on how aggressive and fast you want to shift. It also comes with Eibach springs, Bilstein shock absorbers, lightweight brake rotors, and BBS forged-alloy wheels. And at only $38,990 it's a great price.

As always, the Lancer Evolution's come with a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder MIVEC4 motor producing 295 hp and 300 pound-feet of torque and the Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) drive system.

Taking this thing on the main city roads is very comfortable. Although, when you hit bumps I will have to say you feel them right away. It's not exactly comfortable and you find yourself every now and then dodging bumps and holes in the roads much to the displeasure of people around you. However, that is one thing that I didn't let bother me. On good roads it feels great, and to smoke some dumb hillbilly in a pickup truck off the stoplights was great as well (no lie, he got his ass kicked).

Taking it to the highway, it was fantastic. Stepping on the gas you get instant power, and extremely smooth shifting thanks to the new gearbox. It was just unbelievably good. Sorry to the local law enforcement, but I got the car up to 130mph before I decided to slow down. Guess you would have had to be there to catch me. I then pulled off to the country roads, set the mode to S-Sport, and took it to the corners. It goes around them really fast, but it just feels so smooth. It's almost perfection at it's best. If I could, I would drive 45 minutes away from here to the nearest road course and beat the hell out of this car, but I guess that's not for me to do. Now I could also talk about the extra sound insulation, the optional navigation, upgraded audio with Sirius Satellite reception, and leather seats. But I think when you buy a car like this, you're not getting it for these little extra things. You're getting it for the overall experience of it. It's a great car for a great price.
