2012 Perfect Blend BMW X6

The 2010 BMW X6 lineup features some new versions, including a high performance M and electric/gas hybrid. It accommodates up to four passengers and is somewhat bigger than the BMW's 5-Series medium sized cars. It gets an elevated suspension similar to that of the other midsize SUV from BMW; the X5.

Standard V6 versions come in 3 trim levels, each with conventional all-wheel drive as well as dual turbocharged engines. The XDrive 35i is equipped with a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine producing 300-hp and xDrive50i gets a 4.4-liter V8 engine with an output of 400-hp. The X6 M deploys a 555-hp V8 engine in the xDrive50i. The gas models are marketed with only a single six-speed automatic transmission, and it adapts steering wheel paddles for physical gear changes. The Active Hybrid X6 comes with a "two-mode" system, which works in tandem with a 4.4-liter V8 combining, clubbed with an electric motor delivering a total output of 480 hp. The car can run on any of the power sources, depending upon the driving conditions, and it does not need plug-in charging. It has also a continuously variable automatic (CVT).

What also works well for the all wheel drive system is the dynamic performance control of BMW on all conventional versions. This is only to provide independently torque controlled levels between all of the wheels. This type of system is developed and used for the steering feel and the handling responses. Traction control, all side air bags, Abs, and anti-skid are all of the safety conventional features. This car has some amazing features and therefore, this is even more reason to like this BMW X6. You could not have made a better choice even if you were just thinking about this car

the Black Audi A4

The Audi A4 is a popular family car, though it is described as a luxury family car. There are many key features that make certain cars great for families, and the A4 is one of the top ranked. Audi produces reliable cars so you can feel secure that your family is as safe as possible when driving.

What Makes a Good Family Car
Your family needs will dictate which car is better than others. The main key with a family car is versatility: moms will use it for errands, the car will be full when you car pool to school or take everyone to sports practice, and the parents may use it for their evenings out. A great family vehicle is one that is safe, reliable and completely versatile no matter the outing.

Family Features
There are many features in the Audi A4 that were designed for families and to ensure that everyone in the car is comfortable. The interior and the trunk are both roomy, and the back seats can fold down for even more space. Parents and kids will not have any problem fitting all their gear, no matter if they are going on vacation or just to soccer practice. A great feature for larger families is the personalized climate control for each seat ensuring everyone enjoys their perfect temperature.

Now this brings us to the current B8 Audi A4 1.8 TFSI launched around two years ago. The car I tried is owned by a friend of mine and it is a car that is very familiar to me. His ride pictured above is the 1.8TFSI 160bhp spec that comes with the larger 18inch tires and rims. It looks so much better than the stock 17inch rims that the standard car is specced with.

I suppose it was because of nearly universal criticism of mega understeer that Audi had finally decided to re-engineer the engine and gearbox placement of the A4. The wheels are now at least 8cm forward compared to the earlier setup and this equates to better handling as well steering feel. The car does not drive like you were sitting just slightly behind an arrow's head in flight. You actually have a car in which does not fight the laws of physics all the time unlike the earlier versions.

This time it feels like you're driving a front wheel drive car with a normal transverse engine instead of a longitudinally placed one (even though it is still longitudinally placed). Imagine driving a slightly larger Honda Civic (in terms of nippiness). This is the first 4 door front wheel drive Audi ever that behaves decently well.

white Nissan GT-R

Now in its second year, the GT-R, Nissan's iconic supercar, roared onto the scene for the 2010 model year. The inception year, in which the Nissan GT-R for sale experienced far more success than anyone expected, was a tough act to follow. The Nissan GT-R had its work cut out for it. Did Nissan exceed? The answer to that question is a resounding yes, if for no other reason than the reprogramming of the launch control system that had caused so many problems in the 2009 edition.

The 2010 Nissan GT-R for sale is a high-performance sports coupe with 2+2 seating available at two trim levels. The base trim includes 20-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and ignition, automatic climate control, leather upholstery, power front seats, Brembo brakes, xenon headlights, and an electronically adjustable suspension. It also includes Bluetooth connectivity, a 6-speaker CD/MP3 sound system with satellite radio, a navigation system with a 30GB hard drive, and a driver-configurable multifunction information monitor

As you can imagine a vehicle with this much machinery and superior power is not even in the same hemisphere as economy class vehicles. The base sticker price is a little over $80,000. Upgrade to the GT-R Premium model for about $3000 more and get a hand polished Super Silver paint job, Bose audio system with eleven speakers and dual subwoofers, heated front seats and a near-black metallic wheel finish. All and all, what a small price to pay for a rocket ship.
