This is how… I want to ride!

Oh goodness gracious. If you will forgive me for my bluntness, I think that if the Audi TT Clubsport Quattro had been featured in Grease, it seriously — and probably literally — would have earned a reputation for being a “real p*ssy wagon,” if you get my tastefully censored drift.

This is another one of those cars that should definitely be qualified as sex on wheels. You can even hear it purr through the picture, like a low slung animal getting ready to pounce.

The styling elements alone are absolutely to die for; all by itself, the grille dominates the front. If you saw this thing coming at you, you’d be hard pressed to do more than stand there and just pray it would run you over, because what a way to go.

When you really think about it – why not have a ringtone for your car?  Why would you want your car to sound like everyone else’s car in the world?  Everything about this day and age just screams unique and to be quite frank, I think that downloadable ringtones for your car is honestly going to be one of the hottest new technology pieces for any car.

We have been hearing for the last few years and the silent nature of the hybrid and EV cars is actually a potential safety hazard for pedestrians who are not paying attention, so what would happen if you add in some ringtones?  These cars won’t be silent any longer!

BMW, Fisker and Nissan are all working with Hollywood special-effect teams to develop something like ringtones for your car to make it … loud!

Now – I did not think that when the 2010 Dodge Challenger came out, I would be doing a blog about the color of it.  I thought that I would be doing a blog about the overall appearance and how beautiful it is … however, the 2010 Dodge Challenger has come out with by far one of the most unique and different color options for the customer, that I just has to go ahead and touch on it.

For those of you that don’t know, the color is actually called Plum Crazy and for me … it doesn’t look like something that I would want to ride around in, however if you are ‘plum crazy’ for this color, you might just want to get it.  However, it will cost you!

For the R/T, $225 is the price tag and for the SRT models, $500 is the price tag for you.

Finally, finally, finally next spring, they are going to start taking orders for the brand new 2010 Nissan Leaf EV.  This is a car that so many people have been waiting for – it is completely electric and I have to say that this particular car is going to be so popular.  This is totally how I want to ride!  I would say that by the time the very first car is delivered to the first paying customer, Nissan expects to have taken some 20,000 initial reservations.

If you are thinking about getting one of the brand new 2010 Nissan Leaf EV … you may want to consider getting it early and you definitely will want to get into a lease … or buy it early.  Nissan expects that about 5,000 2010 Nissan Leaf EV will be committed to a lease by 2010, so you better work fast!

By 2012, Nissan actually plans to be out over two billion in their Smyrna, TN factory that will produce upwards of 150,000 electric cars and 200,000 lithium ion batteries per year.

If this is not one of the most luxurious cars you’ve ever seen – I expect you to share the ones that beat this extremely gorgeous Bugatti Galibier Concept below in the comments section.

Such a beautiful design – such great eye for detail by the Bugatti engineers and designers – and an engine to beat a Ferrari Enzo.

Unreal car – unreal price tag of well over 1.5 Million too….

So, we all know that GM, after they went bankrupt decided that they were going to start selling their cars online – on eBay actually, so that they would make money that way.  Well, we also know that it didn’t exactly work and I have to say – HA!  They have finally stopped selling GM cars on eBay, yet they are still causing it a success.

To me, them calling it a success is something stupid – they just want to look good and they just want to make sure that everything they do is a success – in truth?  It wasn’t.  It actually … sucked.  They should’ve known that people do not want to buy cars online – hence the reason for dealerships … duh!

So GM, I’m sorry, it wasn’t a success and while you might have had a lot of views on the page – they didn’t all buy cars right?

Novitec Rosso recently toyed and worked on a Ferrari 599 GTB upgrading a previous pimped ride with a better forced-induction technology. The new setup comes with a supercharger, styling kit that helps with the downforce of the car, some handling upgrades.

The upgrades gave the Ferrari 599 GTB with some extra 40 horsepower from its V12 6.0L engine. Without having to change the inner workings of the car, the stallion can give out up to 660hp.

The German tuning company made use of some high performance stainless steel exhaust pipes and fittings. They also tweaked with the electronics of the engine of the Ferrari. The modification gave the car better figures for the ignition and fuel injection and jumped its red line to 8550rpm.

So, I have to be honest, I am not all that familiar with the Fisker brand. It is an independent manufacturer — and a luxury manufacturer, and a totally green manufacturer. And, as a matter of fact, the Fisker Karma is its very first production car. It is a plug in hybrid which just debuted back in January.

It was built out of a combination of composite and aluminum panels, and the exterior features an exhaust outlet designed for the ICE unit. It is actually almost identical to the precursor concept shown over a year ago in Detroit. Some other differences on the outside include a chrome strip located around the vehicle’s DLO, along with a larger upper grille and lower air intake.

I think I have fallen in love.  It is going to have to be an unrequited love, I fear, because no Mercedes will love you back unless you can actually afford it.  And, of course, even though this is still a concept — the Mercedes Concept BlueZero, to be exact — you know it is going to be seriously dear when it finally comes out.

Still … man, what I would not give for a piece of that.  I even want it in just this color.  It makes the BlueZero look somehow radioactive.  There is something inexplicably Hulk like about it, I don’t know what it is.

The car is also clean; you will be able to get it propelled by pure electricity, a fuel cell, or as a hybrid. What could be better than that, right?

Oh, maybe if it went on sale for something like twenty grand. Other than that, it is perfection as is.

It looks like next week, at Frankfurt – it is going to be a battle of the supercars.  It also looks like the images for all of these supercars are leaking onto the internet ahead of schedule and that is definitely good for us – take the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster.  This is definitely one supercar that I would not only love to own but I would at least love to see, touch, feel and maybe drive!  This is a certainly one car that has been through a reinvention – a million-plus reinvention.

The Lamborghini Reventón Roadster has the same stealth fighter-inspired body, but it is certainly a car that has been redone up and it will be making its appearance at Frankfurt next week.  Do you want to know some specs?  Well, the top speed is expected to be well over 200 mph and it is supposed to have a V12, 650 HP engine.

So really – take a look at it and tell me that you would not want to drive up anywhere in the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster!
