Rover Baby


What Edmunds.com says

The 2009 Land Rover Range Rover delivers a satisfying blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability in a stylish package. Its questionable reliability should give you pause, though.

Pros

Iconic British pedigree, powerful performance from Supercharged model, go-anywhere off-road capability, world-class interior.

Cons

Poor reputation for reliability, high price, limited cargo capacity versus competitors, rear-seat legroom is on the tight side.

What's New for 2009

Changes are light for the 2009 Land Rover Range Rover. Softer leather now adorns the dash, and new door seals are said to reduce wind and road noise. There are also new wheel designs throughout the line. A new Autobiography package adds special leather and wood trim as well as additional standard equipment.

Audi S8 2009


This is a beautiful car that really has some balls. It boasts a V10. The driveline and aluminum chassis of the S8 have been modified to suit the engine's power. Like Audi's other "S" models, the S8 features more aggressive suspension, wheels, tires, exhaust systems, and styling. The firmer settings of the adaptive air suspension and a more direct steering ratio provide a more engaging driving experience than the plush A8. 96,000

Audi A8


For the 2008 model year, Audi claims it has introduced an "even more precise driving feel, superior ride and acoustic comfort and subtle refinements to the design and interior underline the exceptional position of the sportiest saloon in the luxury class. 74,000

Jaguar XK


This is what Jaguar had to say about its latest.... Introducing the breathtaking XK and XKR, Jaguar´s latest, most muscled athletes. Shouldered and powerful as always, but sleeker now with aluminum bodyshell drawn taut across the chassis, these dramatic sports machines are purposefully trimmed and tuned for heart-pounding performance. Exhaust song, power, control and comfort await notice with bold assurance. Inside or out, coupe or convertible, there´s not an ounce of excess. But there is anticipation...because on the road, the XK commands.

Bentley The Most Sexy Ride I Have Seen


A coupĂ© worthy of the GT name. The classic Grand Tourer. A contemporary reinterpretation of everything gone before. Inspired by the grace and power of Bentley’s thoroughbred bloodline, the Continental GT combines phenomenal power, incomparable refinement and class-leading performance. Muscular lines creating understated style, contemporary design with handcraftsmanship in true Crewe tradition. The past accelerating into the future. Power that doesn’t compromise space. Handling that doesn’t compromise comfort. Technology that doesn’t compromise handcraftsmanship. Above all, true Grand Touring performance complemented by the luxury of Bentley legend

One of the Nicest Reasonably Priced

Its not a Merecedes but it is a very nice ride.

The Chrysler 300 is a large five-passenger sedan with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. It's been designed to appeal to consumers desiring something with a bit more personality than a regular family sedan or an alternative to popular Japanese or European entry-luxury sedans. Some of the 300's underlying mechanicals are derived from Mercedes-Benz technology, and it's a platform sibling to the Dodge Magnum and Charger.

Quattroporte

A Beautiful ride, the Maserati Quattroporte is a classy and elegant ride. I have not drove this one yet, but I plan to within the next few weeks. I will update after the ride. I'm looking forward to it.

Mercedes CL 550 This is my DREAM CAR!!!!


Not the CLS the CL, which is a beautiful car. I want this more than any other car in the world. The CL550 is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 pumping out 382 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. Optional equipment includes ventilated seats, Night View Assist, adaptive cruise control and an AMG Sport package, among a few other items.
The basic CL lineup includes two models -- the CL550 and CL600. Two AMG tuned variants are also available -- the CL63 and CL65 -- but we've outlined those in a separate report. 107,000

Mercedes CLS 550

This is my favorite ride.!!!!! I drove one of these the other day and it was better than sex! I loved it. Around here it is stickered at 90,000
Swoopy where its E-Class platform-mate is upright, the CLS550 is the E550's sexy alter ego. Though mechanically identical to the E550, the CLS550 adds a significant dose of style to the more plebian, conventional E550, both inside and out. 70,000

Porsche 2010 GT3


One of the nicest cars I have seen. Cant wait until this hits the road. The 911 GT3 will make its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show in April. The very first example to be sold (priced at $112,200) in the U.S. will be auctioned off for charity. The money raised from the auction will be used to support ESH college preparation programs and a state-of-the-art computer technology center for the residents of Mott Haven in the South Bronx.

Cadillac CTS


This is one of my personal favorite fairly priced cars. I love the way that this car looks and the 2009s are beautiful. Priced from 37 - 60,000
Two V6 engines are available. Standard power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 generating 258 horsepower, while the available 3.6-liter direct-injection (DI) V6 puts out 304 hp. Both engines can be equipped with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. The CTS is also offered in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations, though AWD models are limited to the base engine and automatic transmission.
