When you are on the 2010 BMW X5, you will get an ultimate dynamic driving experience. There are 3 different adornments available, which are the diesel-powered xDrive35d, the xDrive48i and also the xDrive30i. You will be spoiled with a beautiful luxurious interior as well. If you seek for a sporty car with all the comforts inside, this car is the best option to consider. This car can accommodate your whole family too, because it provides a third optional row seats. When talking about the driving system, the BMW X5 is more outstanding with its XDrive-all wheel system compared to other counterparts within the same class. Besides that, there is also another magnificent iDrive system implemented in the X5 as the source of entertainment and car’s information. As for the updated devices, you can expect to get the HD radio as well as the automatic high-beam headlights when you buy the 2010 BMW X5.

Despite of all the ultimate driving experience and enhanced features offered by the X5, there are some flaws found as mentioned by some reviewers. The first is regarding to its expensive price. It can cost starting from USD$48,000 per unit and this is quite pricy compared to other cars within the same. The next one is regarding to the fuel economy rating, which is only 15/21 mpg only. This specification is considered as merely average, while the others might have the higher ratings. Besides that, even though the iDrive interior control is awesome, some people might find it too complicated and not too practical to use. One suggestion here is that, if you do not need this updated iDrive interior too much, then it is better if you refer to the 2009 version. Your might get a good offer here because the dealer might need to sell the left over stocks immediately so that they can replace it with the new 2010 BMW X5.

Consumer Guide reviewed that the performance of the X5 is stunning in term of sporty handling and its iDrive control system is considered better than the previous models. Besides that, the availability of the third row seat is great since it can accommodate the whole family. However, the navigation system in the 2010 BMW X5 can be very confusing for most people. Further, its pricy price, particularly for the V8 edition, can be a holding back factor for the buyer. Consumer guide assumed that for overall view, the diesel-powered xDrive35D is considered better in the class. Even though this model is more expensive around USD$4,000 than the base model of the X5, but its EPA rating is higher with the 19/26 mpg rating. Most other cars in the class do not reach this rating, except the Lexus RX450h Hybrid.

If you are not a loyal fan of BMW brand, there are some other excellent options available to consider. The first one will be the Acura MDX that costs USD$5,000 less than the 2010 BMW X5. The Acura provides 3 row seats and also excellent smooth handling system. Another option is Lexus RX 350. This model is offered at a very reasonable price and is considered as the least expensive among the SUV midsize cars. Besides its very reasonable price, it is also energy-efficient so that you can save up your gas. The engine is powerful that it can generate up to EPA 18/25 mpg rating. Even though the RX 350 does not provide the third row seat, it has an innate cabin control system that you will never find in either BMW or Acura.

We might not be able to find a 100% perfect full size pick-up truck. However, among various trucks in the market, we can certainly count on the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This model is the ideal combination between contentment and practicality. Therefore, you can expect a great driving experience with this Silverado.

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes with two basic models, 2-wheels and 4-wheel drives. Regarding to other features, you have some options to choose from, such as the bed size (standard, long or short one), cab size (extended or crew utility), LT or LTZ adornments and work truck. Its gas mileage is even the best among other trucks in the class. All of these features will offer a powerful and comfortable driving experience for the buyers.

The Silverado was last redesigned back in 2007 and ever since, it has been wining several awards, such as Truck of The Year from the Motor Trend, Best Pickup from the Car & Driver and also the Driver’s Choice from the Motor Week. The 2010 edition still adopts some great engines and features from its predecessor, the 2009 edition. It is supported by a massive 6.2L V8 engine that can cope with a flex fuel capability.

The greater thing from Chevrolet is their 60-days money back guarantee. If the customers do not satisfied with any Chevrolet car, they have bought; they are able to return the car within 60 days period. Then, the customer will get a full refund. Besides that, Chevrolet always offers some great deals every month, where you can get certain incentives on the models that you are interested to buy.

The tough counterparts in the full size pickup market for the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will certainly go to the Ford F 150 & the Dodge Ram. Both of these counterparts are newer in design because they were currently re-designed in 2009. There some features in both trucks that the Silverado do not have. For example, the F150 provides the system of Ford’s SYNC infotainment as well as many in-cabin luggage compartments. While for the Dodge, it even provides some more, such as storage bin on bed of the truck besides the in-cabin one and a coil over the suspension to give the smoothest riding experience. The buyers might face a tough decision among these three, especially because their prices are not too significantly different.

You might have been so familiar with the Mini Cooper and the 2010 Mini Clubman is a slightly different version of the Cooper. There had been some necessary improvements made in the Clubman, such as a stretched wheelbase to give a wider comfortable backseat and baggage area. However, the stereotype of beautiful performance of the Cooper remains in this bigger version. The bottom line here is that the 2010 Mini Clubman carries all the features in the Mini Cooper, including its performance and style, but into a wagon car class. Therefore, when you are in the Clubman, you will feel as if you are in the Cooper, but you will have more space in the cabin and baggage area.

Somehow, you should not take the word bigger here as if the Clubman is a big car. It is bigger that the Cooper, but if it is compared to other wagon cars, the Clubman man is still the smaller compact wagon, in terms of passengers capacity and baggage area. It is designed for a fun driving experience with a sharp handler, but some drivers might find a little bit firm riding on the Clubman. Besides that, the price offered for the Clubman is higher than the other cars within the same class.

If the price and space availability are the factors for you, there are some other options available that you can look at. They are the Honda Fit and the Volkswagen Jetta. The Honda Fit itself is tagged in a price lower than the Clubman, and it is also well-known for its responsive and excellent handling. While for the VW Jetta, you will definitely get a much wider space, both in the cabin and baggage, but its image might not as flamboyance as the Clubman.

There are three adornments available to choose in the Clubman. They are the John Cooper Works, the S and the base models. There will not be too many changes in the 2010 Mini Clubman. All models available will already support the cruise control system and there will also be some special 2 anniversary editions where the costumers can request any customization in the interior or exterior aspect.

GM will once again show the 2010 Cadillac SRX in the Detroit Automotive Show by the end of December 2009. The car comes with several enhanced technologies inside, but the size will be smaller than the previous model that the SRX is going to replace. GM made some changes in this Cadillac, such as eliminating the 3rd row seat, cargo capacity as well as rear-wheel drive system. In return to these eliminations, the 2010 Cadillac SRX will come with a fuel-efficiency features and some other brilliant ones.

The SRX assimilates some elements that we commonly find in the Epsilon mid-size car. This thing is in accordance with the Theta Premium platform. Some other cars that use the Theta architecture bases are the 2010 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox. At this moment, you will not find the hybrid version of the 2010 Cadillac SRX. However, GM might launch this edition soon or later.

There are two types of engines that as the power sources of the SRX. The first one is the 2.8I Turbocharged V6 and the other is the 3.0I WT E85 engine V6. The 2.8I can generate up to 260 horsepower at around 6950 rpm. This power can deliver 221-pound feet of torque at the 5600 rpm. While the 3.0I generates higher power up to 300 horsepower at 5500rpm, in which you can expect to get 295-pound feet of torque at the estimated 1850 rpm. Six speed automatic transmissions of the Hydra-Matic 6T70 support the transmission system for both engines.

According to GM, the 3.0I E85 engine with its 260 horsepower has been success to generate 5% more power compared to the previous model. Besides that, in term of fuel economy feature, this newest edition is capable to save 15% fuel energy, compared to the old one with 10% only.

In the navigation system, GM offers two systems available for the 2010 Cadillac SRX, which are the all-wheel and the front-wheel drives. Both models already have an excellent grip controls. However, if you expect to have something more, you can refer to the AWD model, which is considered as advanced because it is also equipped with the rear ELSD element. With this AWD model, the car will automatically transfer up to 100% of torque directly to its wheels when the road is wet or icy. Therefore, you can expect a better traction system on the winter season. Besides that, the system also gives a stabile car control when it runs on high-speed.

You can expect luxurious features in the 2010 Cadillac SRX. GM can be proud with the pop-up navigation system that they implement in the car. The navigation system is even similar to the one that we find in the CTS. In the interior, you will get a hand- sewn leather cover. If you want to bring a home theater experience into your car, you can custom your car with a dual-screen entertainment system at the rear part. While from the exterior, there are some eye-catching parts that make the Cadillac looked stunning, such as 18-20 inch wheels, vertical headlights, chrome fender vents and etc.

The 2009 Volkswagen comes as a magnificent package for both, performance and model. This car is so responsive and with a beautifully designed interior, you might not expect for something more. The Rabbit is available in two different styles, 2-door and 4-doors models. Both support sufficient electronic stability control so that your driving will be smooth. Altogether, with Honda Fit, the Kelley Blue Book awarded the 2009 Rabbit as The Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000. Some of its winning specifications would be comfort driving, safety features, fun-to-drive car and advanced technology. Unfortunately, some people consider that the Rabbit does not share the same value as the Honda Fit. However, it is still a great alternative that worth to consider. Further, there is one benefit from the 2009 VW Rabbit, which the Honda Fit does not have. The Rabbit has a great standard electronic stability control, while the Honda Fit does not.

We must all aware that every product must have its own shortcoming in a way and the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit is no exception. If you expect a high EPA rate from this car, then you might get disappointed, because its EPA ratings are lower if you compare it to other cars within the class. Regarding the price, you must spend a little bit more to get the Rabbit because it is slightly higher in price. If you think that these things are not for you, there is another great alternative to consider, Toyota Yaris.

Because the model of the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit is still becoming a favorite, the VW decides that they do not need to undergo too drastic redesign. Both models are available equipped with a 2.5L, V-5 engine. In term of transmission, VW offers two options, 6-speed automatic or 5 speed manual transmissions. For the launching in 2010, VW will switch the Rabbit nameplate back to the VW Golf again. In line with this, they will also add a 140 horsepower diesel engine into the 2010 VW Golf. This machine is similar to the one used in the VW Jetta.

It is already like a tradition that the F-150 series always come out as the Ford’s best selling model. Therefore, the automotive reviewers say that the 2010 Ford F-150 is not an exception either. Many believe that F-150 will not have any obstacle in competing with its counterparts, such as the new Dodge Ram and the Chevrolet Silverado. The F-150 had even beaten them this year, by coming up as the 2009 Truck of the Year in the Motor.

However, there is also a pessimistic review saying that it is hard for Ford F-150 to lead the truck market because of the collapsed auto sales market. Responding to this review, Edmund still believes that F-150 shall not find any significant problem at all to compete in 2010, because the F-150 is the adoption of Ford’s philosophy, listening to truck people. Therefore, F-150 will always answer the truck people needs and come up as the Ford best seller again.

To accommodate the need, F-150 offers many enhanced features in the automotive industry. The reviewers have been stunned with a smart storage system accompanied by a useful side and hatchback steps that give an easier access to the cab. Seeing its interior, it seems that Ford determined to offer a full satisfaction for the truck people who use the vehicle for their daily work. F-150 provides hanging file storage and an automated inventory system tool that will help you run the business directly from the truck. The greater thing is that F-150 also provides a wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi and a special system that enable you to maintain data, create and print out the invoices from the truck. With these features, F-150 will surely be able to cope the truck market.

Just like any other truck, Ford F-150 offers some models, ranging from the regular and extended ones. There are also some configurations covering the crew cab, bed sizes and 2 or 4 wheel drive. The 2010 Ford F-150 will come with seven different adornments, including the Platinum, the SVT Raptor for off-road lover and the base XL.

The changes are not too significant for the 2010 models, because the 2009 ones were already all new. The machine specifications of F-150 cover the safety system of Ford Mykey and a 4.6-liter engine with 310 horsepower. Ford has made this safety system as the standard for all models, excluding the base XL. As the answer to the off roader, Ford will also introduce the SVT Raptor model in 2010. This model supports a 6.2 liter engine that can generate up to 400 horsepower. It will surely give the ultimate experience for the off roaders. If you seek for such a high performance machine, it is worth to wait for a while more since Ford will soon launch the raptor to the automotive market.
