GM came through for us and home-delivered this yellow Corvette ZO6 with a six-speed manual. This should amount to our fastest car yet that we’ve had for review. 505 horsepower is no joke. This is also the first time ever I blurted out “cool car” to the dude who handed me the keys.
We’ve just been invited to the Dubai launch of the all-new Nissan Altima. We don’t know if it will be advertised as a 2008 or 2009 model, but yes, the new coupe is also coming here alongside the sedan.
To our regular visitors, it might seem obvious that I haven’t put up a new car review in almost two weeks now. The truth is I’ve been swamped with–what else–life, since this website is nothing more than charity work on my part (given I make almost no money from it). I’ll be busy this week as I have to attend three new car launches at least. But I’ve also been a bit frustrated over stuff involving this website too.
The all-new 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer compact and Outlander 4WD duo will finally have their official Dubai launch on September 4th, 2007.
Dodge is desperate for a hit now, since their only moneymaker, the Charger, is starting to be shunned in America due to rising oil prices. So they came up with the Tourney, a crossover styled so safe that it can disappear in the background even though it is brand new.
This apparently is a leaked first photo of the “new” Audi A4. It looks like it has some sort of sport kit on it. We are not sure if the platform is new, since the car looks like a simple facelift yet again, but we found some other info.
The 2009 Jaguar XF has been unveiled, as a replacement for the aging S-Type. However, engines continue to be the same.
The long-awaited Toyota FJ Cruiser has been unveiled in Bahrain for the 2008 model year. Out in USA for a few years now, the FJ has yet to make its debut GCC-wide, barring private imports.
This is a Bridgestone tyre commercial, showing how “amazing” cars start to handle with their product. Too bad reality is not that amazing. It takes a good driver to handle any car, not just a good tyre.
This “modded” Aston Martin, called the DBS, was unveiled by the company a few days ago. For some reason, it didn’t interest me as much as the Honda Accord that was unveiled at the exact same time, so I didn’t bother reporting on it. Well, today is a slow news day, so here it is.
