|2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost Review|
The 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost luxury sedan comes in a single four-door body style in one well-equipped trim level. Standard feature highlights include 19-inch alloy wheels, an active air suspension, a sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry/ignition, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, automatic xenon headlights, power-closing rear doors, leather seating and trim, a pair of umbrellas stored within the front doors, heated front and rear seats, 10-way power and massaging front seats, four-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth, a navigation system, adaptive cruise control and a 16-speaker premium audio system with a 12.5GB hard drive music server, satellite radio, a CD/DVD player and USB/auxiliary audio inputs.
|Luxury and Design|
Options are seemingly limited only by your imagination, and finances, as one may choose such items as: finely crafted wooden drop-down picnic tables, twin rear DVD monitors (with a six-disc changer) and individual "lounge" seating for the rear compartment complete with massaging seats and a cooler between the seats. The Driver's Assistance Systems package adds lane departure warning, automatic high beams, a head-up display and a night-vision camera. Although a dozen exterior colors, along with a choice of eight leather and five wood trims will be offered as standard fare, those seeking more exclusivity will be able to customize their Ghost any way they see fit through the company's bespoke program. Exotic wood veneers and metallic accents are used liberally throughout the cabin, where passengers are cosseted in the finest leathers. Though plush carpeting is of course standard, one may opt for genuine lambswool mats that will have you taking your shoes off. In keeping with tradition, rear seat passengers are pampered with well-shaped and supportive seats that also provide a clear view ahead. A large fold-down armrest and a measure of privacy afforded by the thick, rearmost roof pillars are two other benefits to sitting in the rear.
|Summary|
The 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost's twin-turbo V12 is exceptionally smooth and silent. The benign first bit of throttle travel makes for smooth, lurch-free takeoffs, but lean into it and you unleash a smooth, steady, turbinelike thrust that continues to swell effortlessly into triple-digit speeds. The eight-speed automatic transmission is spot-on as well. The active air suspension goes about its duties with similar transparency, smothering bumps and ruts that would have you grimacing for a harsh impact in lesser cars. Despite a curb weight of 5,455 pounds, the Ghost never feels ponderous, and the light and precise steering makes maneuvering the big car a breeze, once you've gotten used to it's size, that is.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Review
With atargeted U.S. launch of summer 2010, the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyderwill assume its rightful place at the top of the Boxster roadsterlineup. With 10 more horsepower than the Boxster S, 176 fewerpounds to haul around and a lowered suspension, the result is akeenly sharper driving experience. To save weight for Porsche'smost extreme expression of Boxster performance, non- essentials likethe air- conditioning and radio have been removed from the standardfeatures list (they can be added back as options). Thepower-operated top is also gone, replaced by a fabric top that hasto be manually erected.
Walkaround
Notable inclusions consist of the 320-hp 3.4-liter flat-6 engine, amechanical limited -slip differential, a choice of standard six-speedmanual or optional seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automated manualtransmission, exclusive wheels and a recalibrated and lowered sportsuspension that helps shave an inch from the standard Boxster'scenter of gravity. Perhaps even more telling are the benefits thataccrue from these impressive attributes. On the move, the BoxsterSpyder is at once sharp and supple, responsive yet calm, smooth yetimmensely powerful. It is, most certainly, a product of much morethan a simple weight reduction.
Summary
When you factor in all the passion and hardware required to create avehicle as exclusive as the Boxster Spyder -- not to mention itsunique bodywork, interior and exclusive manual top -- it's clearthat this machine is destined to be a rarefied and worthy additionto Porsche's already formidable sports car lineup.

2011 BMW X5 REVIEW
As is typical for a BMW, the X5smid-cycle styling update is so subtle as to require a side-by-sidecomparison for most people to tell the difference. So you dont have toopen any more browser windows, here are the 2011 changes in a nutshell:The hood and grille are carry-over, but the plastic front fenders nowmeet a full-width and painted front bumper skin containing largerapertures and a scuff-plate-look metallic lower trim piece. Newheadlamps feature LED rings (a.k.a. angel eyes) and the fog lamps areset higher and more inboard. In back, the bumper cap has been reshapedto match the look of the one up front, complete with the faux scuffplate. Chrome-trimmed taillamps also now adopt the bitchin LED lightbanks now found on the rumps of most BMW models. Toss in new exhausttips, and the transformation is basically complete.
OPTIONS
For 2011, the X5 xDrive35i will be available inwhats this?three trimlevels (yes, trim levels on a BMW!). The lineup starts with theessential X5 xDrive35i, which will be available for $1800 less than lastyears base model, at $46,675. The X5 xDrive35i Premium brings 19-inchwheels, USB and iPod integration, privacy glass, leather seats, and a$52,475 price tag, as well as access to several options such as theConvenience package, Active Ventilated Seat package, Cold Weatherpackage, Technology package, and third-row jump seats. At the top of thexDrive35i range sits the $54,975 X5 xDrive35i Sport Activity, whichfeatures 20-inch wheels, sport seats, and darkened trim on the headlinerand around the windows. The M Sport package becomes available on thistrim, adding performance tires, BMWs Adaptive Drive system, slightaero-inspired styling tweaks, and sundry M-branded interior bits.
SUMMARY
BMWs refreshed X5 continues in its quest for total perfection in theluxury crossover/SUV realm by incorporating engine and drivetrainimprovements that continue to keep the Sport Activity Vehicle, orwhatever they want to call it, relevant in an extremely competitivesegment. If your bottom line is healthy, our bottom line says itsdefinitely a ute worthy of your consideration.
