Presidential Inauguration with Automotive Rhythms & Saturn Hybrid Technology
The eyes of the world turned to Washington, D.C. for the historical inauguration of the nation’s first African-American President, Barack Obama.

To truly understand the roots of a European vehicle you must venture to its homeland to experience its birth, study its environment and speak intimately with its people.

2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo: Catch A Fire! Does 160mph on Raceway!
With a top speed of 171 miles per hour, the 2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo has the ability to leave runways on fire when it barrels by. For Porsche to go from sport cars to sport SUVs and still have success is quite impressive. This diversified lineup has increased sales and opened up new markets for the industry’s smallest independent vehicle manufacturer. In fact, in 2004 (the first full year of sales for the Cayenne) it accounted for roughly half of Porsche’s sales; with more than 150,000 having been sold worldwide. Sonically and technically inventive, the trio of all-new Porsche SUVs -- Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo -- offer great performance, comfort and social recognition. A Cayenne Hybrid will be coming out before the end of this decade.

Based on the concept 100EX -- designed to celebrate 100 years of Rolls-Royce's existence -- the stately Drophead Coupé can be had for $412,000 to 100 providential connoisseurs of British heritage this year. And as they say in England, the Drophead Coupé is "The Business." And after evaluating the massive convertible recently in San Diego, we can certainly attest to the statement
To exemplify our passionate feelings we chose a Bronze 2009 Jaguar XF SV8 with its supercharged 4.2-liter V8 to power us through the streets of Monaco in the south of France. The all-new sports sedan hits the market this spring as the replacement for the slow selling S-Type. It’s Jag’s latest creation since the exquisite redesign of the XK coupe and convertible.
The current XJ, timeless in design and sophisticated in presence, represents a history full of fond memories and remarkable achievements. Yet -- as all things must -- Jaguar needed to evolve its entire lineup into the future, a task not easy as patrons become accustomed to the âÂÂknownâ and fearful of the âÂÂunknown.â Nevertheless, with such an intrepid move on JaguarâÂÂs part by far, the 2010 XJ is now more suitable to compete with the Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series.
How do you improve upon a bike that has already taken the custom and drag bike world by storm? Very carefully and strategically.

Legends aren’t made, they’re born. So when BMW decided to play around with racing in 1986 they also found themselves playing with history. For 2008, the 4th generation M3 is offered as a coupe and a four-door sedan with the convertible to follow shortly. The four-liter naturally aspirated light-alloy powerplant outputs 414 horspower at 8300 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque at 3900 rpm. It doesn’t redline until 8400 rpm so the high-revving engine is able to hold each gear longer for maximum acceleration. With a power to weight ratio of 8.9 lbs/hp the new V8 is stronger, yet lighter than the 3.2-liter 333 horsepower straight six it replaces from the third gen M3. Expect the coupe to move you from 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds. Top speed is limited to 155 mph.
Sublime is the mind of those that support greatness. For those that oppose, well we wish them all the best. The 2009 Porsche 911 rocks and rolls like no other 911 before it. Now in its 6th generation, the Carrera is updated tremendously with new hardware and software such as the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) dual-clutch seven-speed transmission, Direct Fuel Injection and a set of updated horizontally opposed six cylinder Boxer engines.

In the supercar realm, aside from independent makers like McLaren, Saleen, Spyker and the like, most exotic machinery can be attributed to the Italians â Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini.
