Taking a Peek at the 2010 Ford Taurus

2010-taurusLuxury cars are great, midline luxury cars are awesome, but let’s face it, sometimes we have to go with what we can comfortably afford, which is one of the reasons so many people are such big fans of companies like Ford. The Ford Taurus in particular has always been pretty popular, ever since its coming out party back in 1985. However, such a long running stance has made it pretty recognizable — that ends with the 2010 Ford Taurus.

The new model is actually much more luxurious than you would ever expect. It is even considered rather fun to drive, even exciting, despite being billed as a family sedan.

That conjures up some very precise pictures, but the 2010 Ford Taurus dashes all of the stereotypes.

It will be available in August, at a base price of $25,995 — not bad for a “luxury” vehicle that can get from zero to sixty in only seven and a half seconds.

UAW Talks With Ford: The Latest!

uaw20logo20-20bwThe automotive industry is one of those industries nowadays that is very hard to live with and definitely hard to read about.  I know that whenever I am looking for some research to keep you guys up to date, it is very depressing.  However, we are not going to touch on GM in this post, we are going to touch on the UAW union and how they are talking with Ford right now.  We all know that Ford is reorganizing their funds and the UAW wants to make sure that they are taken care of as well.

The UAW VP Bob King actually told reporters that he is always in meetings with Ford and while Ford was the only one of the big three to avoid bankruptcy, which does not mean that their sales are not down as well.  However, this does not mean that the UAW is going to strike either.  The UAW is just talking with Ford about their contract and looking to make some changes to it.

Nothing has become official yet, so don’t quote me!  Stay tuned for more news though!

2010 Audi Q7: This Car Rocks!

2010 Audi Q7One car that I have noticed keeps popping up everywhere and anywhere is the 2010 Audi Q7.  This incredible car is definitely awesome and it is by far one of the best cars – going to be one of the best cars on the market today.  The form, body and shape of the car looks awesome and it is actually one of the sexiest cars I think that I have encountered in a very, very long time.  The exterior changes, while limited are still apparent and there are many different interior changes that have taken place as well.

There car features Audi’s newest and greatest invention, the third-generation Multimedia Interface or MMI.  It is basically an all-in-one system that honestly has everything from a 3D navigation all the way to looking up menus, maps and personal notes like ‘I need gas’ or even ‘I’m hungry’.

As you can see, the 2010 Audi Q7 is definitely the car to look out for because it truly is going somewhere!
