BMW Enters the Fourth Stage

2011 BMW 528i

It seems now that BMW is all for the turbo. Coming this year for the 328i, 528i, and the upcoming X1 xdrive28i, BMW will ditch the 3.0-liter 230 horsepower inline-6 engine and go for their all-new 2.0-liter 242 horsepower turbo-4 engine. BMW says that this engine, even though it's more powerful, will save gas, is more energy efficient, will create less CO2 emissions, and will run a lot faster than the old 6-cylinder. The engine will first debut on the X1 over in Europe. Then it will come over here on the 328i and the 528i. Prices may decrease, but BMW suggest that they will be about the same.

A New Era of Sick

2012 Mercedes C-class

Say hello to the all new C-class. Don't underestimate this car. Underneath that small luxury car body is a one unbelievable monster that wants to be set loose. The car has two all new engines for 2012. One of them is a new 1.8-liter turbocharged 201 horsepower 4-cylinder base engine. That might not sound like much, but it will do 0 to 60 in 7.1 seconds, which makes it pretty fast for a four cylinder. As for the V6 engine, it's now been tuned to have 302 horsepower, almost as much as a V8. As for features, it has all the stuff the new E-class has except for the massaging seats. It's even gone through the LED lighting phase with the front and rear lights. But it's still kept that craziness that makes it a great car. Get ready for the new C next Summer. My review of this car is coming soon.
