The Saab 9-5 2009 and its very being

Posted on April 29, 2009, under About Me, Car Financing, Car Reviews, Latest News and Trends.

Spy pictures have become very common. They keep getting released all the time. Now it can be seen that this trick has its positives as well as negatives. The positives are that people are able to see and judge the performance of a vehicle and decide whether it is worth a purchase through car credit, car finance and car loans. The negatives are that the surprise element is there no more and those who are very skeptical often discard a car and decide not to buy it through a car loan which is a big spoiler in increasing the sales of the carmaker. But whether it is good or not, spy photos keep circulating all the time. (more…)

Magic Mazda

Posted on April 9, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

If you remember, a couple of days ago, I wrote a post discussing the recent surge in US financial markets following the London Summit of the G20.  I had written that this might ne a sign of things to come, that we were finally beginning to see some improvement in the state of the markets worldwide and this upward trend would reflect somewhere in the auto industry as well.  Well, I don’t want to brag but a bit of what i had said has come true, albeit in a small way.

Drivin’ in the Rain!

Posted on April 9, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

Ever had a skid when driving on a wet road?  Its the worst possible feeling as you feel the typres of the car slip on the asphalt and lose their grip.  There’s nothing that can prepare you for the feeling of losing control of your car on a wet road; for one thing, you don’t know how long the slipping and skidding will last and second, the curb looks like its way too close for comfort and you’re still nowhere near to paying off your car loan.  Not a pretty situation to be in.

The World Solar Challenge

Posted on April 9, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

It’s that time of the year again when the Australian Outback will once again become the scene for the World Solar challenge – a car racing competition where 40 teams from around the world will compete against each other to showcase the most efficient and sustainable solar car prototype. The World Solar Challenge is focussed upon supporting research and designs for automobiles that make use of solar energy to travel.

More Electric Cars

Posted on April 8, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

Don’t blame me for what I’m about to put you through but writing about the Electric Mitsu put in the mind to look up some other electric cars that have been unveiled in the past and might be out of the roads later this year if they are not out already. Check these out!

Ok I know that many of these may look like mutant cars, like somebody had a bad day on the drawing board but the point behind each of these cars is that they cut fuel consumption, cut the noise, and will, in the future be responsible for cutting the barage of attacks that gets sent to the ozone on a daily basis. we all do what little can for the environment and what these cars are doing by virtue of being electric cannot be fathomed.

So chin up and let’s see what the brains in AutoLand are thinking up for us.

Mitsubishi Green Car Allowed on Australian Roads

Posted on April 8, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

Greenpeace supporters rejoice! Actually this should include all of the people who complain about the “noxious fumes” and superimposed “pollutants” wandering about in the air. According to news reports, it has been confirmed that an electric car developed by Mitsubishi Motors has been cleared to appear on australian roads. The car has passed a series of safety and emission tests that totalled to a cool 83. And the federal government has decided that its safe for this car to run on Australian roads. (more…)

Fast and Furious

Posted on April 5, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

Just the other day I was accompanying a friend to check out some cars at the local dealership prior to submitting the final documentation for his car loan and we came across this gleaming white Jaguar XF.  It was placed at centrestage and all the soft. glowy lights of the delaership were attentively trained on this beautiful beast, but the Jag realy did not need any of the frills.  It’s such a fantastic car in itself that it does not require the usual car shilling to look good.

Super cars

Posted on April 4, 2009, under About Me, Latest News and Trends.

Just a look see into a pack of super cars and their specs.  Art for art’s sake and some seriously cool machinery.  The only problem will be convincing your car finance guy for the humungous car loan you will be applying for once you lay your eyes on these cars!  It’s a little north of what the vehicle finance company will usually approve of in a few days time.  And if you’re one of the people who stop eating in order to save money and bulk up for your car loan application.

Are we getting back on track?

Posted on April 4, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

Sometimes, a surprise a very good thing, especially if it comes in the form of a newscaster barely managing the contain his excitement over the fact that the US markets have begun walking the path to recovery which might end the uncertainty and the utter confusion that has held everyone back from spending money and investing. Although this situation is common to all, the auto industry has especially been hit badly with the three largest car manufacturing companies in the world almost on the verge of folding up the business and giving up. The domino effect of it all has of course, cascaded down to us mortals. (more…)

The 2010 Jaguar XF Premium and also the XFR

Posted on April 1, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.

It can be said without a debate that Jaguar is on a serious mission. Complacency is something that has been thrown out of the picture by the automaker. The Indian touch that has been visible in the brand ever since its takeover by the Tata’s of India has unveiled a couple of powerhouse roadsters that are touted to wreck havoc in the market once made ready for sale. This should be enough to spark a thought about a car loan in the minds of people so that they can star applying as car credit, car finance and car loans would be necessary to buy a unit from the giant auto creator. The celebrated XF sedan will be re-launched through the 2010 XF premium along with the XF-R, better known as XFR. (more…)
