Powered by the same 101-horsepower, 1.4-liter Multiair four-cylinder engine as the standard Fiat 500, the cloth-top convertible 500 Cabrio is nonetheless a special vehicle.

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe: Up Close
Posted on 21. Apr, 2011 by admin.
Early photos had me worried the C-Class two-door would look bulbous past the B-pillars, with bloated shoulders and too much empty sheet metal above the rear fenders. The coupe looks trimmer in person, though it isn’t as lean as the sedan.

2013 Ford Taurus: Up Close
Posted on 21. Apr, 2011 by admin.
It may not look like it, but the revised 2013 Ford Taurus gains a number of changes, with the most noticeable ones centered on the front end. New headlights and a hexagon grille make the sedan look slightly more menacing, while the performance-oriented SHO trim gets a deep mesh grille bisected by the bumper that looks like an exaggerated version of Audi's signature nose. The changes don't really make the car any better or worse than the current version, just different

2012 Fiat 500c at the 2011 New York Auto Show
Posted on 20. Apr, 2011 by admin.
Competes with: Smart ForTwo Cabriolet, Mini Cooper convertible Looks like: Snooki just found herself a new ride Drivetrain: 101-hp, 1.4-liter four-cylinder with five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission; front-wheel drive Hits dealerships: Late spring Don't assume Fiat-controlled Chrysler's adoption of the "C" moniker suggests the Fiat 500c has a Hemi V-8 and rear-wheel drive. (Oh, the carnage.)
