2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate

Costs on the heels of BlueEfficiency than the C250, Mercedes gives us a glimpse into the future of the E-Class with ConceptFascination. As the name suggests, we are only in search of an approach. But with the ever beautiful, but a little dated research, the E-class due to a room, we can at least the broad outlines of the concept of translation to production.

Under the hood, the ConceptFascination is controlled by the same new 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine with the introduction of the C250 BlueEfficiency. Mercedes has already publicly announced its intention to withdraw such machinery in the next E-Class, at least the core of the concept is in the right place.

The style of ConceptFascination is scalable, as revolutionary, in comparison with the E-Class. The update of the update to the design of the Directorate C-Class for the portion of the E-Class. Fini simple chrome grille, its place in a wider grille bar and a huge Mercedes badge, from straight in front of the C-Class. The E-Class Projectors four are quad oval headlamps with LED angular C-shaped fiber optic lights.

From the coast, one can conclude that the ConceptFascination a not quite a car, but not quite a cut, "the filming of" brake "configuration that we do not see many these days. Mercedes already has an E-Class Coupé is construction, then this shooting brake concept is showing us what we expect to see. Overall, the profile has a nice view with his speed scanners and rear roof wing muscles.

2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35i

BMW looks great art in the years 2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35i with a double clutch transfer, Twin Turbo six-cylinder and three mode of suspension, that the spectacular performance. Tech-cabin with a stellar Premium audio system, iPod integration, and HD-Radio. The navigation system has a very nice maps and routes to avoid congestion.

The bad:
The iDrive interface, but has improved since earlier versions, is not yet intuitive. Trunk space in the hard-cabriolet.

The Bottom Line:
2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35i also provides incredible performance of cabin gadgets to inform and entertain.
Even when the techniques of magic, in a manually operated quick, narrow corridor changes. It would be riders react to movements more closely on this quickly. The DCT of these layers well in automatic mode, walking at a speed for the car against.

The engine of 306 hp is enough for the Z4 sDrive35i a sports car. BMW claims 5.1 seconds to 62 mph with the seven-speed DCT, and 5.2 seconds to 62 mph with six speeds. We have no time overrun is in progress, but on our early start, the Z4 sDrive35i move forward, so that a satisfactory exhaust Blast change with each dish.

The DCT Z4 sDrive35i the tower to the dignity of fuel. Although difficult hours in the mountains only 18.5 mpg, we average 21 mpg, not bad given the large engine in this car. The EPA rates the Z4 sDrive35i of 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

In sum
2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35i was a spectacular drive technology, equipment cabin by its technical performance. The Twin Turbo engine and dual clutch transmission of a beautiful car experience, the adjustable suspension. The chalet also offers a lot of technology on the applicability of the integrated road safety with the complete navigation system Bluetooth phone and iPod integration. The audio system also sound. The only thing missing really is other useful information on RSS feeds, such as weather, the pilot and using technologies such as blind warning. As for the project, the Z4 is sDrive35i a car, but that iDrive is much improved from its previous incarnation, it is still less than perfect.

2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35i

BMW packs a lot of tech into the 2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35i, with a double clutch transmission, twin turbo six-cylinder engine, and three sleep, resulting in spectacular performance. Cabin tech includes a stellar premium audio system, iPod integration, and HD radio. The navigation system has very good-looking maps and route guidance that avoids traffic jams.

The bad:
The iDrive interface, although improved from earlier versions, is still not the most intuitive. Trunk space is compromised by the hard top convertible.

The bottom line:
The 2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35i delivers incredible driving performance while incorporating practical cabin gadgets to inform and entertain.

BMW proves the German reputation for over-engineering by making the 2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35i the most complicated roadster ever. Unlike the very simple Mazda MX-5 Miata we recently reviewed, the Z4 sDrive35i is a technical tour de force. The engine sports not one, but two turbo chargers. The two transmission clutches and uses a computer to move them. The suspension has different modes. And you could spend a couple of days going through the onscreen menus. But all of that technical sorcery results in extraordinary performance, a track-worthy roadster with few rivals.

The 2009 Z4 represents an update to the model, BMW did not but any radical changes to the exterior. The Z4 still a long nose that the bulge up, reaching above the level of the lower edge of the windshield, making it seem like you are Piloting a World War II fighter plane. There are some refinements in the sheet metal, formerly the lines that break up Expanse of smooth sheet metal down the sides.

Split personality
BMW has gotten good at building cars with split personalities, everyday commuters reasonable that serious offer thrills on the weekends. BMW achieves this by the clever use of buttons around the cabin labeled sport. The Z4 sDrive35i takes this idea a step further, not only having its various sport settings, but using a hard top convertible. That means top security when parked in the city, real protection from the elements, and a little extra sound insulation. But it also gives you the option of wind-in-you-hair motoring on sunny days.

Convertible top that does a little dance peculiar when going up or down, folding panels underneath each other and its whole apparatus stowing in the trunk. It's not particularly fast, and trunk space is compromised. The Z4's sDrive35i LCD, mounted in a flip-up section of the dashboard, ie stow itself away when not in use. We were not impressed to see that only LCD in a roadster, but BMW's up-to-date iDrive system, as well. The update to the Z4 extends to the cabin electronics.

As in the BMW 750Li we reviewed earlier, the Z4's navigation system sDrive35i stores its maps on a hard drive, with enough capacity for rich detail. At 8.8 inches, the LCD is very wide, and presents beautiful 3D maps showing topographical features and the occasional landmark building. A 2D map is also available, but not as nice to look at There's a reason why BMW uses such a wide screen: you can set it to a split view, using a portion of it as the main screen, and a smaller section as to auxiliary, useful for showing trip, audio, or route guidance information.

The Z4 is the third sDrive35i BMW we saw with the new iDrive system, and it's still a relief to the interface. But it's not without its problems, either. For one, it is not always obvious which way to push the controller to back out of menus. For example, BMW offers many customization options for its cabin tech, and you can drill down through quite a few levels in the settings menu. Digging into the Z4's sDrive35i system, we made sure the navigation was set to automatically route around traffic problems.

In sum
The 2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35i proved to be a spectacular technique because of its performance gear through its cabin tech. The twin turbo engine and twin clutch transmission deliver a spectacular driving experience, helped by the adjustable suspension. The cabin tech is also a lot of practicality, with traffic avoidance integrated with the navigation system, along with full-featured Bluetooth phone and iPod integration. The audio system therefore delivered excellent sound. The only thing really lacking are other useful information feeds, such as weather, and driver aid technologies, such as blind spot warning. As for design, the Z4 sDrive35i is a good-looking car, but of iDrive is substantially improved from its previous incarnation, it's still less than perfect.

Nissan Unveils All-New LEAF Electric Vehicle

Nissan is getting ready to release its first electric vehicle and to help butter up potential customers the automaker has today revealed images and details of the new car, which has been dubbed the ‘LEAF’. At the opening ceremony of Nissan’s new global headquarters in Yokohama, Japan today, Nissan took the covers off the LEAF for the first time and confirmed a late 2010 launch date for Japan, the U.S. and Europe.

Designed specifically for a lithium-ion battery-powered chassis, the LEAF is a mid-size hatchback that comfortably seats five adults and has a range of more than 100mi to satisfy real-world consumer requirements.

Key characteristics include a zero-emission powertrain and platform, an “affordable” price tag and a connected mobility intelligent transportation (IT) system. Power will come from laminated compact lithium-ion batteries, which generate an output of over 120hp, while the electric motor itself delivers 107hp of output and 206lb-ft of torque.

And with the ability to regain up to 80% of its full charge in just 30 minutes, it can get back on the road again in a hurry. A full charge takes about 8 hours, a typical overnight duration.

The real star is the new IT system, which connects the car to a global data center to provide support, information and entertainment around the clock. A dash-mounted monitor uses this information to show a 'reachable area' display, letting the driver know exactly how far they can go on the remaining charge. It also shows the nearest charging stations to make juicing back up easier.

Pricing details will be announced closer to start of sales in late 2010, however, Nissan is expecting the car to be competitively priced in the range of a well-equipped C-segment vehicle. Additionally, the LEAF is expected to qualify for an array of significant local, regional and national tax breaks and incentives in markets around the world. As an added benefit, because the vehicle has less mechanical complexity than a traditional gasoline-powered car, it will also cost significantly less to service and run.
