Quick Fix

Chevrolet's Camaro ZL1 is getting dirty against their main competitors the GT500. Chevrolet used the GT500's driver manual against them. The Driver's manual said that the GT500 was not built for track use, following with proposed things you should do to the car in order for it to be track ready. The Camaro jumped right onto this statement saying their car was meant to be run hard and that it was "Track-Ready". The Camaro ZL1 is one mean car but so is the GT500, which makes this an interesting battle.


Super cars are great, however, just because you add a super to them doesn't mean that they can conquer anything. Just how Superman's weakness was Kryptonite, the weakness to all super cars is...SNOW. As shown by the video below the cars aren't meant for snow, and neither are the drivers. The video is shot in Seattle while hosting 2 inches of snow! Yes, a whopping 2 inches.

Next is a video made by one of the the most influential car companies of all time, Porsche. The video follows Porsche through their entire existence starting from the beginning to the present, of course showcasing the 911

The BMW M6 has been spied! She is looking pretty good, I don't care for the lights, and this just looks like a softer version of the M5. I hope it isn't as fast because the M5 is a beast!

The Hyundai Sonata is an interesting car, I don't find it particularly pretty, quick, cool, or nice, but it does have good gas mileage, especially the Hybrid. The Hybrid is going to have a lifetime warranty, which really is amazing and it shows how much Hyundai trusts the quality of their car. Hyundai has also said they are working on a 10 speed automatic transmission, and to me that is crazy because 10 gears is way too many and the car won't even know which to choose, but I guess impressions will have to wait until after it's done.

On the last note for today, GM is looking into interactive windows. It sounds like something from a science fiction novel but everyday we are getting closer to the future. This interactive window will be a way for rear seated passengers to do pretty much anything by looking and interacting with the window; this will be one cool addition to the car world.
