BMW M5 Review

BMW M5

BMW 5 Series

The 2008 Hyundai Entourage is one of a kind. It has all of the space and features of a minivan with much of the feel of a luxury SUV. If you need a spacious and reliable family vehicle, you should consider a visit to your Hyundai dealer near Somerville and take a look at the 2008 Hyundai Entourage.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Entourage is that it doesn’t sit nearly as low as most minivans. It’s taller, raising to the height of an SUV. This provides the driver with better visibility.

There’s plenty of room in the Entourage, as well. Even behind the third row seat you can fit quite a lot of cargo. If you need even more space, the rear seats fold into the floorboard, as well. Efficient use of space seems to be a theme on the Entourage, as there are a number of storage compartments, trays, and pockets.

The 2008 Entourage is powered by a 3.8 liter V6. The engine is responsive in a way that you don’t usually think of minivans. Here again, the Entourage feels much more like an SUV than it does a minivan.

There are plenty of premium features available on the entourage. Just about everything you woul dwant, from fog lights to heated power seats, can be found in the Entourage. No matter what you’re looking for from a family vehicle, the Entourage has it.

Hyundai i10 Review

The Hyundai i10 will be launched in India this month. The new Hyundai small car for India, codenamed Hyundai Pa, has been in the making for some time now. India will be first country in which the Hyundai i10 will be introduced. The i10 will be the flagship small car brand for Hyundai in India.

The Hyundai i10 is expected to be priced around Rs 4 lakh. Currently, Hyundai Motor India is producing two main variants of Santro, which are sold between Rs 2.69 lakh and Rs 3.64 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).The price will be a premium to Hyundai's current largest selling small car Hyundai Santro. Introduced 10 years back, the Santro has been the bread-winner for Hyundai Motor India for long. Apart from the Santro and the Accent, Hyundai has not had a big hit car in India so far. As of now, Hyundai is the third largest car maker in India, after Maruti and Tata Motors.

The Hyundai i10 is expected to be launched this month. In a move which is seen as a precursor to sell out maximum number of Santros before the i10 makes its appearance, Hyundai on Thursday slashed the price of its Santro model by around Rs 40,000. Usually, carmakers make way for the new models by announcing steep price cuts for the existing models, which may not sell once the new model (in this case i10) rolls in.

Hyundai's recent models like the Getz and the Getz prime have not been able to gain traction in the market. The Hyundai Verna, which was widely expected to replace the Accent, is now produced alongside it. Its Terracan has been scrapped and the replacement Tucson has not been doing well either. The Sonata Embera has also failed to bring volumes for Hyundai in India. Hyundai, like other carmakers, is concentrating on the small and mid-size car segments, where the competition is fierce.

Hyundai Rebates Gallery 2010

Hyundai or Lexus or Audi? That’s a question that Hyundai wants consumers to ask next year if they are in the market for a premium luxury sedan.

The Korean automaker announced Wednesday that it would bring its flagship premium sedan to the United States. Now available in Korea, where it is badged as the Equus, the sedan made a surprise showing at the New York Auto Show in April, where “the response was fantastic,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America’s president and chief executive.

“Since then, we’ve had a fleet traveling around the country, capturing input from our dealers and consumers,” he added in a news release. “Here, too, the response was extraordinarily positive, and similar to the market reaction to the award-winning Genesis, so we’ve decided to bring it to the U.S.”

Hyundai i30 Cars

2008 Hyundai i30 Preview – Geneva Auto Show: Built specifically for the European market and given a new naming convention, the Hyundai i30 hatchback goes on sale across the pond later this year and boasts three engines: two 1.6-liter four-cylinders making 113 and 120 horsepower, and a 2.0-liter engine that generates 141 horses. Transmission choices include a standard five-speed manual, a four-speed automatic and a six-speed auto in the two liter. The hatchback is also notable in that it brings with it a new naming convention. No longer will European Hyundais be known by name; starting now, Hyundais will get an alpha-numeric tag that starts with "i" for Inspiration, Intelligence and Integrity. The Hyundai i30 is built on the same platform as the new Kia Ex Ceed’, which was also debuted at the Geneva Auto Show.

Subaru Tribeca Collection 2010

The redesigned Tribeca (Subaru has dropped the "B9" prefix from the name) gets more mainstream front and rear fascias. Under the hood is a new 3.6 liter flat-six engine that burns regular fuel -- a big improvement over the current Tribeca, which requires premium.
