BMW 7 Series Review
As BMW's flagship, the 7 Series represents the pinnacle of the company's automotive know-how. It boasts a handsome, spacious interior and superior comfort, with supple leather and rich wood accents adorning almost every surface. Highly adjustable front seats ensure comfort for virtually every body type. The 7 also showcases a wealth of high-tech luxury features such as a night-vision camera and sideview cameras. Some may still find the iDrive electronics interface system a bit complicated, but with use over time, we think the improved layout is an elegant solution to a button-heavy dashboard.
Walkaround
There are three models available. The 750i and the long-wheelbase 750Li share the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are standard, while all-wheel drive is optional and denoted with the moniker xDrive. The third model, the 760Li, features a 6.0-liter V12 that produces 535 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. It is rear-drive only, and an eight-speed automatic is standard. Valvetronic technology by BMW allows engine breathing to be controlled entirely by the valves, determining how far each of the engines 16 intake valves is lifted, how much air/fuel mixture the engine breathes, and how much power it produces. This technology makes the traditional throttle method seem outmoded. Whats more, it ensures drivers the smoothest ride on the road today.
Summary
The 7 Series provides limolike interior room, especially in Li form, yet still remains a class benchmark for its handling prowess. The "Dynamic Driving Control" system contributes to this status, featuring four different settings that alter the driving characteristics of the car. It's complicated and we'd bet good money most folks will leave it on "Normal," but it should reward an owner who likes to customize their car to their own driving tastes.

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Premium Low Pricing Great Lease Rates Cars Order Yours 1-310-860-8986
2012 Porsche 911 Review
Porsche's next 911, known internally as the 991, marks a big change for the iconic model. Big, that is, in terms of size. While it rides on a thoroughly reworked version of the current 996/997 platform, it will be visibly larger. Set to be unveiled this fall at the Frankfurt auto show and go on sale as a 2012 model, the 991 gets a longer wheelbase to accommodate its airier interior. The cabin's materials and console layout will be nicer, too, with more than a passing resemblance to the Panamera's.Porsche started work on the 991 under former R&D chief Wolfgang Durheimer, now at Bentley and Bugatti, and the former CEO, Wendelin Wiedeking. After Volkswagen assumed control of Porsche, styling changes were reportedly incorporated at the request of Ferdinand Piech.
Walkaround
Given the next 911's longer wheelbase, we expect a more supple ride without a corresponding sacrifice in dynamic competence. Like every 911 before, the new model will remain rear-engined. Rear-wheel drive will, of course, be standard, and all-wheel drive, an option since the 1989 Carrera 4, will be available. The standard engine will be the naturally aspirated flat-six, likely in two displacements, as is currently the case. We don't expect huge power increases, but Porsche will employ electric-assist steering to aid efficiency and some weight-saving measures such as more aluminum body panels.The Turbo will remain at the top of the portfolio, and there are even plans for a hybrid version. More unexpectedly, Porsche might also offer a turbocharged flat-four. Such a model would be easy to justify historically, the 356 was a four, as was the 912. But a turbocharged four could get awfully close to the naturally aspirated six and dilute the "Turbo" moniker, which is still associated with the top-hole 911s.Predictably, there will be a coupe and a convertible body as well as numerous variations, such as future GT2 and GT3 models. Their successive launches mean that the current 997 and the new 991 will be built alongside each other for a while.
Summary
Porsche knows the Cayman's mid-engine arrangement is dynamically superior to the 911's, but the latter's rear-engine-layout enables usable rear seats. Plus, it helps to create those classic proportions. With Porsche venturing off into formerly unknown territory such as the small-SUV and sedan markets, the classic look provides a tether to Porsche's past. And heritage is becoming an ever-larger part of the 911's selling proposition as it faces fierce new competition, including everything from the Audi R8 and the Nissan GT-R to boulevard cruisers such as the BMW 6-series and the Mercedes-Benz SL.

2012 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium Low Pricing Great Lease Rates Cars Order Yours 1-310-860-8986
2012 Audi Q5 Review
The 2011 Audi Q5 is now offered with two different engines. A 211-horsepower, 2.0-liter TFSI turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is new for this year. It joins the existing 270-hp, 3.2-liter V6 in the lineup. With the new 4-cylinder engine comes an 8-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 remains paired with a 6-speed automatic. Both engines have Tiptronic manual control, as well as the quattro all-wheel drive system, which sends about 60 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels under most driving conditions; on slippery surfaces or for better stability, the system will reapportion torque as needed.
Walkaround
With car-like underpinnings borrowed in part from the Audi A4 sport sedan, the Q5 drives and handles much like a sport sedan, despite its tall cabin. And the new 2.0-liter model, has a higher peak torque rating than the V6, so with the 8-speed transmission it should feel just as quick under many conditions. The Q5 is quite compact on the outside-it's about as easy to park as a compact sedan-yet there's a lot of passenger space within. Nice, supportive front seats afford a great view out, with a center console that has an adjustable armrest up top, while there's a surprising amount of legroom in back. The back seats in the Q5 slide fore and aft to balance the amount of cargo space and legroom, while the seatbacks recline; the seats also fold forward to allow a large cargo space or, when up, there's still a pass-through for long objects. The Q5's long wheelbase, in addition to helping maximize passenger space, also helps improve ride quality.The Audi Q5 offers a long list of safety features that includes electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes and hill descent control, with a special off-road mode for the electronics that allows a little more slip. The stability control system in the Q5 will recognize when the roof rack is loaded and adjust accordingly. The Q5 also has the best tow rating in its class-4,400 pounds. Front side thorax bags, along with head-curtain side bags for both rows are all standard. Rear side-thorax bags are available.Leather upholstery is standard on the Q5, along with power front seats, telescopic steering, keyless entry with an alarm, tri-zone climate control, a trip computer and a hard cargo cover along with cargo nets. The sound system that's standard even on the base model is a 10-speaker, 180-watt system including Sirius Satellite Radio, an auxiliary input and an SD card slot, while Bluetooth and an iPod interface are optional. Premium Plus models add a power tailgate, heated front seats with driver memory, heated folding mirrors, xenon headlamps, LED running lamps and a panorama sunroof. Available only with the Premium Plus, as options, are a hard-drive-based navigation system that accepts voice prompts and includes a rearview camera and HD radio and an amazing 14-speaker, 505-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system.
Summary
The top Prestige trim is only offered with the V6. It brings a host of high-end luxury and tech features including heated washer nozzles, Audi side assist and a heated/cooled cupholder. An available Luxury Package brings expanded leather trim, while the S Line Package adds flashy 20-inch wheels, summer performance tires and a special steering wheel and shift paddles. The Audi Drive Select system, which adds three modes-Comfort, Automatic, Dynamic and Individual-that control the suspension, steering, engine/transmission response, is only offered on this top-of-the-line model.

2012 Audi Q7 3.0T Premium Order Yours Today! Low Prices Great Lease Rates 1-310-860-8986
2012 Audi Q7 Review
Audi has shifted things around under the hood of its Q7 SUV. Gone are the 3.6-liter V6 and 4.2-liter V8 gasoline engines and in their place is a new 3.0-liter V6, which comes in two different states of tune. The base engine delivers 272 hp and 295 ft-lb of torque, while the high-output variant produces 333 hp and 325 lb-feet. The third powerplant in the Q7 lineup carries over from last year: a 225-hp, 3.0-liter clean diesel TDI V6 with AdBlue to scrub the exhaust of even more particulates before it disperses into the air. All Q7 models benefit from Audi's new 8-speed Tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. The high-performance gas V6 model comes equipped with adaptive air suspension.
Walkaround
The Q7 is loaded with safety features such as airbags, TPMS and a crash sensor. There are available tech systems to help reduce the likelihood of a crash too. Adaptive cruise control monitors the vehicle in front of the Q7 and maintains a safe distance. If the car detects that a possible crash could happen, it warns the driver and prepares the braking system. At 20 mph and up, the side assist system checks the Q7's blind spots and watches the rear of the car for fast-approaching vehicles.The Q7 comes in several trim levels, including Premium, Premium Plus and S Line Prestige in the gas models, and Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige in the diesel. The base level Premium includes LED turn signals in the exterior mirrors, 18-inch tires, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, power tailgate, sound system with iPod integration, Bluetooth connectivity and rain and light sensors. The Premium Plus and S Line Prestige get upgrades such as Bose surround sound, driver's seat memory, a panoramic sunroof, LED daytime running lights and xenon headlights and parking assist with rearview camera. These trims have a couple of extra options, too such as running boards and headlight washers. The S Line also features ventilated front seats, 4-zone automatic climate control, power tilt/telescopic steering column, 20-inch wheels, heated headlight washers, adaptive headlights, special S Line exterior trim and Audi advanced key.
Summary
All Q7s have both a cold-weather and warm-weather package available. For colder climes, a heated multi-function steering wheel is added, while those in warmer areas will appreciate the 4-zone climate control and window shades for the side and rear windows. A TDI S Line Package adds appearance both inside and out. Popular standalone options include a towing package for all trims, a panorama sunroof on Premium models, a Bang & Olufsen sound system for Prestige models, and Adaptive Air Suspension for a more responsive ride over variable terrain, also available on Prestige models.

2012 Mercedes-Benz S Class Low Prices Great Lease Rates Cars Order Yours Today! 1-310-860-8986
2012 S-Class Review
The next S-class boasts a brand-new four-link front suspension designed to further decouple the steering, braking, and damping forces. In the rear, we should find an evolution of the faithful multilink arrangement. Air springs are standard again, but the clever Active Body Control system costs extra. Active Body Control can also be had in combination with MBC, short for Magic Body Control. Employing two cameras to scan the road, MBC can -- at speeds up to 80 mph -- compensate for surface irregularities milliseconds before the car encounters them. Also new is Magic Light Control (MLC), which adds full LED headlamps complete with adaptive free-flow light patterns that vary with speed, weather, and steering angle.
Walkaround
As far as next-generation ergonomics are concerned, those in the know predict a much-easier-to-use Comand infotainment system with fewer knobs, buttons, and switches. Instead, we can allegedly look forward to a single controller, which, in combination with more elaborate steering-wheel controls, addresses all key features and functions.Instead of a screen positioned above the center stack, Mercedes is considering a large LCD display in the driver's primary field of vision. All in all, the Comand system should be easier to use, have vastly superior memory capacity (for things like music, maps, and Internet), and be easy to reprogram via software updates.
Summary
The engine lineup ranges from a 200-hp four-cylinder to a V-12 that's been dyno-tested at 544 bhp. Not enough grunt? Then you may have to wait for the spicier AMG option, good for some 650 hp, sources say. New engines include the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, which will be available in 300-hp and 350-hp form. One rung up, we find two turbocharged V-8s promising 430 hp and 510 hp. Originally, Mercedes intended to offer hybrid options for all new S-class models, but after a marketing rethink, all that's left are two: a 3.0-liter V-6 and a 200-hp diesel version, both paired with a 110-hp electric motor. A 20-hp electric motor is still likely to be standard on all models but is not quite strong enough to justify an e-mode button. This won't change before 2014, when the new nine-speed automatic transmission should be able to accommodate a more potent 45-hp electric power pack.

2012 Porsche Cayenne Cars Low Prices Great Lease Rates Order Yours Today! 1-310-860-8986
2012 Porsche Cayenne Review
First introduced in 2003 to lukewarm applause, the Cayenne quickly silenced its critics by showing itself a serious performer. For 2012, the popular Porsche is redesigned in and out, and there's even more to like in 2012.Four models are offered: Base, S, Turbo and S Hybrid. Base Cayennes feature a 3.6L V6 putting out 300 hp. The S uses a 4.8L that churns out 400 hp. The Turbo version utilizes the same 4.8L V8 allowing it to produce 500 hp. Porsche claims 060 mph from the Turbo in just 4.4 seconds, with a top end of 172 mph. Finally, a new gas-electric hybrid-Porsche's first-employs a 333-hp supercharged 3.0L V6 and a 47-hp battery-powered electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp. The Cayenne Hybrid can run on one or both of its powerplants for an even blend of power and fuel efficiency. Interiors have been redesigned for 2011 as well, with attention to detail in typical Porsche fashion and a look and feel that fall in line with what you see in the Panamera sedan. All rear seats are split folding.
Walkaround
Cayennes are suspended by a double wishbone setup in the front and a multilink rear axle, with front and rear stabilizers. All Cayennes offer all-wheel drive. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on the Base model, while a new 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic is standard on all others and available on the Base. Towing capacity maxes out at 5,952 pounds for the V6 and 7,716 pounds for all other models.The Cayenne comes with a lengthy standard equipment list. The Base offers power everything, heated mirrors, leather seating, 12-way electrically adjustable front seats with 4-way lumbar support, steering wheel audio controls, rain-sensing wipers, privacy glass, a premium stereo system, a power liftgate, universal garage door opener and auxiliary power outlets.
Summary
S and Hybrid S models are equipped mostly the same, adding cruise control, a refrigerated glovebox and of course that V8 power. Turbo models include niceties such as aluminum interior trim and an Alcantara headliner, as well as Porsche Communications Management 3.0, which features a 6.5-inch color touchscreen display with integrated MP3, CD, DVD, and navigation. A 14-speaker Bose stereo is also standard in the Turbo. Lots of optional equipment can be specified on the Cayenne, including special exterior paint, special 19-inch wheels, larger fuel tank, Lane Change Assist, the Walnut or Anthracite Birch Interior Package, Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Dynamic Light System, front and rear Park Assist, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and more. Standard safety features across the range include 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist and brake readiness, advanced airbags throughout the cabin, traction control and stability control.

BMW X5 Reveiw
The 2012 BMW X5 is a Sports Activity Vehicle with the sedan part and SUV part, the 2012 BMW X5 is expected to release in spring 2011. Changes to the 2012 BMW X5 more dramatically involving more than 4,000 new section just completed last year. These changes, commonly associated with the drive train, plus a turbo charging, kicking up the horsepower with new gasoline engines, and create a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2012 BMW X5 has an impressive specification and feature as it combines excellent performance and comfort that will compete in the market with the Acura MDX, that, Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and Audi Q7 as the Luxury Midsize SUVs.
Walkaround
The original BMW X5 was the first entry Barvarian Motor Works into the SUV market. Since then, JP Powers X5 has been rated among the best for lively performance and quality design. It also gets high marks for its interior design. In other areas, such as security, reliability, fuel economy, and resale value, usually ranked near the middle when compared with other middle-luxury SUV. X5 has been a strong seller for the company, both in America and internationally. Since this has been moved to, the buyer can be ascertained transmission of 2012 BMW X5 has proved that he is capable of instant acceleration with no interruption of power. About a third of the new X5 is expected to be equipped with diesel xDrive35d. Body style will be similar to past models with long wheelbase and short overhangs provide a muscular appearance. The next big refresh for the new BMW 5 Series will probably not arrive before model year 2014.
Summary

The 2012 BMW X5 is a Sports Activity Vehicle with the sedan part and SUV part, the 2012 BMW X5 is expected to release in spring 2011. Changes to the 2012 BMW X5 more dramatically involving more than 4,000 new section just completed last year. These changes, commonly associated with the drive train, plus a turbo charging, kicking up the horsepower with new gasoline engines, and create a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2012 BMW X5 has an impressive specification and feature as it combines excellent performance and comfort that will compete in the market with the Acura MDX, that, Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and Audi Q7 as the Luxury Midsize SUVs.
Walkaround
The original BMW X5 was the first entry Barvarian Motor Works into the SUV market. Since then, JP Powers X5 has been rated among the best for lively performance and quality design. It also gets high marks for its interior design. In other areas, such as security, reliability, fuel economy, and resale value, usually ranked near the middle when compared with other middle-luxury SUV. X5 has been a strong seller for the company, both in America and internationally. Since this has been moved to, the buyer can be ascertained transmission of 2012 BMW X5 has proved that he is capable of instant acceleration with no interruption of power. About a third of the new X5 is expected to be equipped with diesel xDrive35d. Body style will be similar to past models with long wheelbase and short overhangs provide a muscular appearance. The next big refresh for the new BMW 5 Series will probably not arrive before model year 2014.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Review
If you notice hints of Panamera, it's no mistake. The sculpted hood, headlights, and grille mimic Porsche's other contentious model. Dimensionally, the Cayenne is 1.9-inches longer than its predecessor overall with a 1.6-inch longer wheelbase. More interior passenger and cargo space are the result, Porsche points out. Its backend gets restyled LED taillights, also very reminiscent of the Panamera's wide, curvaceous units. But the longer body doesn't necessarily mean more mass. Thanks to a new all-wheel drive setup and the use of new materials (Porsche wasn't specific), the range as a whole is promised to be lighter and more efficient.
Walkaround
A decoupling clutch connects the engine to the electric motor and ensures a smooth transition of power throughout the driving cycle. Electric power can propel the Cayenne at speeds up to 40 mph, according to Porsche. It can also "sail" on the highway by shutting down the V-6 at speeds up to 97 mph. The entry-level Cayenne maintains its 3.6-liter V-6, but thanks to a few tweaks and eight-speed transmission, it gets 10 more horses (for a total of 300-horsepower) and is 20 percent more fuel efficient on the combined European cycle. Occupying the middle ground is a more powerful 400-horsepower (up 15 ponies) Cayenne S. Its 4.8-liter V-8's fuel efficiency is 23 percent better than last year's model. Same goes for the Cayenne Turbo's 500-horsepower V-8. Interestingly, there was no word yet on the autobahn-eating 550-horserpower Turbo S or sportier GTS. The modern design continues inside. With more room to work with, engineers implemented a high center console between the two front passengers. Like the Panamera, it bears an elongated form, with a litany of control buttons set below and on either side of the Tiptronic lever. The leather dash gets a TFT screen capable of controlling all the pertinent in-cabin goodies. It's flanked by tall aluminum-surrounded HVAC vents. The whole is attractive, in true Porsche style. A huge chunk of weight came out of the body, too, with 86 pounds eliminated through redesigned doors, 42 from a lighter interior, 22 from different electrical components, and 17 from various body-shell changes and other structural-attachment efficiencies. Despite these weight reductions, overall structural stiffness was increased by 15 percent, says Porsche. The difference between the sum of all these figures and the actual reduction amount is the additional content and reinforcement that had to be added in order to meet various legal requirements. Reducing a vehicles weight while adding content is quite an achievement.
Summary
With this second-generation Cayenne, Porsche has taken to heart many of the criticisms of the previous model. Most important, the company has taken about 400 pounds out of the Cayenne. About 70 pounds of that come from the elimination of the two-speed transfer case. Instead, the new model gets an eight-speed automatic with a lower first-gear ratio and more sophisticated traction control. About 65 pounds were found in other engine and powertrain reductions. Greater use of aluminum in the chassis yielded 72 pounds, lighter wheels and tires shaved 17 more, an electric parking brake dropped 13, and structural efficiencies eliminated 42 pounds.

2011 Audi A8 Review
From the outside, the 2011 A8 is clearly cut from four-ringed cloth. The tail almost completely mimics the rear of the latest A4, and the corporate grille is in full effect, even if it has grown from a goatee into more of a mini-beard. All four corners share a similar squared-off element, and the front quarters, if analyzed closely, hint at the upcoming Bentley Mulsanne (some interoffice cribbing, maybe?). The LED headlamps are distinctive and can vary the depth of their beams based on the proximity of oncoming traffic. Wheel sizes range from 17 inches to 20.
Walkaround
All A8 models get that ZF-supplied eight-speed automatic transmission, which really breathes new life into the old 4.2, and all have manumatic shifting and paddles on the steering wheel. We estimate the A8 will scoot to 60 mph in the mid-five-second rangemiddle of the pack in terms of acceleration. But what it lacks in outright speed, the A8 makes up for in sporting demeanor.
Summary
Dynamics, no matter how impressive, arent the reason most hedge-fund managers buy these cars; rather, the interior is the selling point for them. And the one inside this car is fantastic, with not one texture or material taking a tactile wrong turn. Elegant wood, leather, and, if so desired, aluminum line everything, with a lip that runs the width of the dash and continues into the doors serving as a sort of aesthetic calling card. This cabin is more attractive than that of the 7-series and cheerier than that of the S-class, and there are fewer buttons than inside the Panamera. A traditional shift lever gobbles up center-console real estateit looks like a sheathed putter peeking out of a golf bagbut operating it is far more intuitive than using BMWs quirky joystick-style selector.
