2010 Mazda Sports Review

Launched in 2003, the Mazda RX-8 hit the global market with a serious bang. For 2009, Mazda will further the evolution of the four-door, four-seater sports coupe, giving RX-8 a refreshed exterior and interior design, enhanced performance and a new R3 sport package for the ultimate driving enthusiast.

Unchanged is the core of the RX-8 - a high-powered, lightweight and perfectly balanced machine powered by the world-renowned twin-rotor RENESIS rotary engine.

To enhance the highly successful RX-8, Mazda engineers focused on innovation in three key areas for the 2009 RX-8: styling, performance and packaging. "The enhancements made to RX-8's exterior, interior, packaging and performance takes it to a whole new level of visual and driving excitement," remarked Nakazawa.


RX-8 was designed with an athletically sculpted exterior that provides a sense of originality that's unrivaled in the marketplace today. For 2009, RX-8 receives design enhancements that are meant to freshen the styling and give RX-8 a new look, without impairing the basic design theme. Refinements for the 2009 model year include restyled front and rear bumpers and front fascia; sporty, high quality finish front and rear headlamps; and larger exhaust pipes (now measuring 90 mm across). The 2009 RX-8 also offers a new five-spoke wheel design featuring a symbolic and sporty design reminiscent of the rotary engine, with different arrangements for each wheel size.

Taut muscular lines give RX-8 the liberating look of an athlete in motion. The muscular styling maintains classic sports car proportions while adding a Zoom-Zoom edge that is unmistakably Mazda.


Through-and-through, the RX-8 is a pure sports car that gives the driver an exciting and dynamic experience. For 2009, engineers improved RX-8 body rigidity through the addition of structural reinforcements, by adding a trapezoidal strut tower bar and enhancing the local rigidity of the front suspension tower areas. Also, the rear suspension geometry has been reconfigured for better handling performance and driveshaft rigidity is improved, lowering NVH levels and improving performance.

In addition, the differential gear ratio on manual transmission-equipped cars is lowered from 4.444 to 4.777 for improved off-the-line performance. While minimal, these performance changes give RX-8 increased acceleration and performance, as well as even greater responsiveness to the accelerator pedal - always a rotary-engine and RX-8 hallmark.

To achieve this sophisticated dynamic, Mazda utilizes the advanced RENESIS (Rotary Engine genesis - or rebirth of the rotary engine) engine. The Mazda RX-8 remains the only mass-produced rotary-powered passenger car in the world. While exhibiting unusually high power output for a naturally aspirated engine, RENESIS outstrips comparable reciprocating engines in terms of acceleration, the feeling of power in reserve and quick response.


The 2009 Mazda RX-8 is available as either a 232-horsepower model fitted with a six-speed manual transmission, or a 212-horsepower model fitted with a six-speed Sport A/T automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a Formula 1-style driving experience.

Lincoln, First Look: Lincoln C Concept Car Mini Cooper-owner style

Lincoln, First Look: Lincoln C Concept Car Mini Cooper-owner style

Lincoln C Concept Car Mini Cooper-owner style

BMW has proven that rear-wheel-drive c-segment size luxury works, with its 1 Series, Lincoln is turning next to the 2011 Ford Focus' platform for post-global warming luxury. To prepare us for a CAFE-friendly world, Lincoln rolled out the C concept (for c-segment, and so far, without an "MK" prefix) at Detroit. Looking much like a Renault with Lincoln's "flying wing" '41 Continental retro cue grille, the C is about the length of the '11 Focus, but about 2.75-inches wider for three-abreast seating via two flat benches. Ford designers cite the '39 Lincoln, '56 Continental II and '61 Continental as inspiration. But the a-pillar is curved much like a Renault Espace's, and the c-pillar ends in a Clio-esque bustle trunk. While there's no tumblehome, a deep shoulderline accents the profile.

Lincoln C Concept Car Mini Cooper-owner style

The stainless steel-like top is actually aluminum with a metalized paint, and the gray interior wood trim is recycled driftwood veneer. The Lincoln C has more interior space than a '61 Continental, J Mays and Freeman Thomas proudly note. The engine, theoretically - Lincoln didn't open the hood -- is a planned 1.6-liter EcoBoost four with central direct injection, variable valve timing on both cams and an interesting stop/start system to shut down the engine for red lights and stop signs.

Lincoln C Concept Car Mini Cooper-owner style

Restarts use a fraction of the starter energy required for a cold start by injecting and igniting fuel in the cylinder closest to top-dead-center on the compression stroke. The six-speed, twin-clutch "Powershift" transmission uses more efficient dry clutches (Audi DSG's wet clutches require an oil pump). It gains 9-percent better fuel economy than a conventional automatic transmission, Ford says. Including some key weight savings, Ford expects the EcoBoost-powered C would get about 25-percent better fuel economy than a similar car with a 2.0-liter.

Other interior features include no b-pillar (which Mays insists is approaching production viability, even if the "suicide door" feature that accompanies it is only for show), a hubless steering wheel rendered in Apple-computer white plastic, thin-seat technology for better interior room (another near-production feature), hand-drawn floral patterns laser-etched into the otherwise stark white leather seats, weight- and height-sensing power head restraints, and stereo speakers in the headliner, which surrounds a Lincoln-symbol glass sunroof.

North America design chief Peter Horbury says his favorite feature, though, is a device in the car's grille that recognizes other Lincoln Cs and automatically "winks" the left headlight, Mini Cooper-owner style.

Question is, can Lincoln build a c-segment car with so much appeal that owners "wink" or wave at others voluntarily? We may have to ask that question again when Lincoln markets a c-segment car, in as little as two or three years.

Top 10 most popular cars bought by over the 65's (U.S)

With most customers favouring smaller cars, there is still one demographic that Detroit has a solid hold on… Retirees. Buyers over 65 are the last hope for the good American car. In some dealerships, anything upto 85% of all Buick buyers are 55 and older.

The over-65’s look at brands like Buick, Lincoln and Cadillac as status symbols. Those brands have what advertisers call the “Mind Share” in that demographic. Retirees remember a time when the only people driving those cars were celebrities and other high profile members of society; now they want in to that high-profile group of Cadillac drivers. Plus, older folks like familiarity, they know these brands, they’ve heard them their whole life.

Studies in the U.S have shown that the next generation of OAP’s prefer sporty, performance type vehicles as opposed to the large cloud cars on this list. As for now, here are the 10 best sellers with the old folks:

(The models are ranked based on the percentage of buyers age 65 or older, using market research data from J.D. Power and Associates. All the cars on this list get less than 20 mpg in town driving and less than 30 mpg extra urban driving.)

10. Ford Taurus – The Taurus is one Ford’s best selling models, in fact it was the best selling car in the 90s. Ford went through some weird phase where all the cars had names starting with ‘F’. They got rid of the Taurus title and called it the “Five Hundred”. Either way, the Taurus is back now and old people still love it. Upto 35% of all buyers are 65 years old or older.

9. Lincoln MKZ – Compared to the rest of the cars on this list, the Lincoln MKZ is a lightweight. It’s marketed to a fairly younger consumer, but just like the Taurus, 35% of it’s buyers are 65 or older.

8. Cadillac STS – The STS is probably the “sportiest” car on this list, although like the rest of the cars, it has a roomy interior and the blind spot/back up cameras that older people like. Retirees love the Cadillac brand, they remember it as being the ultimate car brand. 39% of all Cadillac STS buyers are over 65.

7. Toyota Avalon – The only foreign car on the top ten list is Toyota’s flagship sedan. That’s because Toyota specifically designed the Avalon to compete in this particular market of over-65’s. Because of all the press, 39% of all Avalon sales went to retirees.

6. Mercury Sable – The Sable is the Ford Taurus’ upmarket cousin, and just like it’s always been, it’s essentially just a Taurus with a Mercury badge. Old people love it though, nearly half of all Sables sold (48.5%) have gone to people over 65.

5. Buick LaCrosse – The top five on this list is where the real favourites lie; there is a substantial jump in the percentage of over 65 buyers as we go from #6 to #5 on the list: Only 48.5% of all Sables want to old folks, meanwhile, almost 64% of all Buick LaCrosse sales were to people over 65.

It has old folk favorites like OnStar, electric seats with memory and remote audio controls on the steering wheel. We’re in the over-50% zone now, so it’s a safe bet to avoid all Buick LaCrosses you see.

4. Buick Lucerne – The Lucerne is the beefier version of the Buick LaCrosse, plus is has parking sensors and reversing cameras. It also has ‘Lane Departure Warning System’ that alerts the driver if the car starts to move out of its lan. Still, with a full 67% of all Lucerne’s out there belonging to over 65’s, I’ll still steer clear of them, with or without lane departure warning system.

3. Mercury Grand Marquis – The Mercury Grand Marquis costs a little more than half the price of the Lincoln Town Car and the two cars are virtually identical. If you exclude cops and other fleet drivers, a full 69% of all Grand Marquis drivers are over 65.

2. Cadillac DTS – The DTS is slightly larger and less sporty than the STS. It’s actually a direct competitor to the Lincoln Town car, so it appeals to retirees for all the same reasons. Brand recognition, quality image, and lots of technology like lane-departure warning system and blind-spot systems that many of the other top ten have make 72% of OAP’s buy one.

1. Lincoln Town Car – More than 75% of all Town Cars out there are driven by someone over 65, so keep an eye out. The Town Car is probably one of the spacious sedans for less than $47k. It has more interior space than many large executive cars.

The car is just the typical old man car: huge interior, rear-wheel drive, mirror like ride, plush seats and a powerful V8 petrol engine.

BMW Z4 Review

BMW Z4 Roadster is an open double car and much more, replacing the roof Z3. Compared with its predecessor, Z4 slightly gained in all directions, but kept the general concept of this roof.

BMW Z4

BMW Z4 received in the United States in October 2002 appeared in Europe in March 2003. Like his predecessor, the car is available in the United States at the factory in Spartanburg.


BMW Z4

BMW Z4 easily combines the two. This is a classic roof at the same time emphasizes the Z4 sports of fast-bending bonnet, long wheelbase and low seat.


BMW Z4

Protuberant and curves and surfaces make splendid play of light and shadow. Strong lines are interspersed with gentle curves. Ideal flat steel surface and excellent skin significantly enrich every detail. It appears from BMW Z4 is thallium. Its form "saying" the door behind which the body like expanding.


BMW Z4

Notch on the door of the top limited clear from the brink of the lap, and the bottom - just as sharply defined "rib stiffness" high threshold.


BMW Z4

Completing the picture slashes, boldly held upwards from the front wheels to the frame of the front windshield. Character lining sink BMW surrounded by radiant chrome and double Xenon headlamps (option), with integrated fog lamps, attached Z4 elegant and unflagging form. Here are just a heavy chuck looks strange, if not from the opera. The standard Z4 2.5i invited elegant curtain fabric with mechanical actuation.

BMW Z4 Interior


BMW Z4

The analogy with "Seven" is the Z4 interior. Nothing in common with the original "driving" the panel deployed console to the driver. This concept interior, which in the 1970s came to BMW genius Paul Marriage, in Munich cultivated for decades. All the necessary information you have in front of you with appliances. Rudder, a small, unemployed, with a leather collar and incredibly stylish iron spokes. Micro design in BMW Z4 at the height developed every detail, whether protective arc of chairs, hand handcuffed or door panels, "crossed" special "twisted" pens.


BMW Z4

Particularly good indoor sports version of "metal" finish. "Sports" seats for the driver and passenger are standard on the Z4. Black leather "Oregon" (it) will make your impressions of the trip even more attractive. In some versions Comfort warmth only a box of wood, substitute silver plastic panels with aluminum.

BMW Z4 Engine


BMW Z4

The advantage of the new body for the owner roof is a relatively large trunk (up to 260 litres) of convertible bay for the curtain, which is sufficient for carrying two large bags. The curtain of fabric is Z-manner and equipped with heated rear windows.

BMW Z4

Additional options include Hi-Fi audio amplifier with a low frequency technology Carver, as well as a special phone. The standard kit includes a new Z4 sports leather steering wheel type, system protection, and if the bus to get to their own coding, with piercing.

BMW Z4

High-octane mixture impeccable quality and the most modern technology is at the heart of the engine BMW Z4 which was made of a special lightweight alloy. Thanks to a unique combination of Double Vanes, to regulate valves best way, a special module intake air and 4-valve technology BMW achieved the highest torque and lightning reactions. The revitalization of the "Sport" option proposed as a system of dynamic traffic management Driving Dynamic Control to remove the engine to even higher levels. Models collected Z4 3.0i engine (170 kW / 231 hp / maximum speed of 250 km / h) and Z4 2.5i (141 kW / 192 hp / 235 km / h). The Z4 3.0i 6-step a mechanical gearbox and a five-for Z4 2.5i model, or a five-speed automatic transmission (as a set of additional equipment).

BMW Z4

Thanks to the wide track, low center of gravity, optimum weight distribution between the axles in a ratio of 50:50, and the precise steering control system (Electric Power Steering) BMW Z4 provides a good dynamic and manageability. In addition, high-endurance brakes and the dynamic stability control Dynamic Stability Control (DSC III), with the possibility of including traction control regime guarantee maximum safety in all situations.

BMW Z4

The Z4 for the first time in history, and car smuggle BMW usual hydraulic steering replaced by power assistance. This scheme was much simpler. Power assistance consumes power only when turning the steering wheel, his work is easy to administer, in accordance with the speed or the level of lateral acceleration. However, if the engineers behind BMW and ZF firm, which has traditionally supplied Bavarian steering mechanisms-decade experience of the booster rocket configuration, with electro motors all have to understand anew. Z4 version Sport extremely sensitive to the slightest turns driving. A click of "sport" to the left of the console tool box is changing not only features an electronic pedal, but the algorithm of electric power.

BMW Z4

The "sport" to drive better, but not much. Efforts to drive higher, but "transparency" anyway. Reactions spot, but not exact, correct trajectory in the high-speed turns is fast pulse movements. But in turns BMW Z4 no slower than Speedster. First, the power unit is fully justifies this definition: it is indeed power. Drive "at the grass roots" strong, and after 3000 rpm pushing the gas pedal is instantly reactive impulse to any transfer. Chassis here that neither talk, the great. Tyres evil grip clinging to the asphalt, geometry trimmings can easily follow the roof at the wheel. Gradually accustomed to the reaction machine, and how annoying that the need to stop turning left knee in the door handle.

BMW Z4

The stabilization DSC prevent slipping unobtrusively, but the authority and confidence. Against all canons auto sports at BMW Z4 can boldly press on the gas or brake in turn, the computer instantly removes excess power or recalculates the balance of braking force at each wheel. The single click of a button does not disable DSC stabilization system, as usual, a trigger-DTC Dynamic Traction Control. As told Bavarian, it is compensated for the lack of Z4 self-locking differential activation DTC admitted to some "controlled" unwanted steering wheel. However, with the development of skidding

BMW Z4

The Sport version is very hard suspension. Sound row "Six fills saloon-even open, with the folded roof. Whether the voice is a little louder engine could call it gimmicky ... Travel to "comfortable" version is more pleasant emotions. At 16-inch wheels instead 17-inch without buttons "sport". At turns driving Butler reacts calmer exhaust sound is not as aggressive, suspension noticeably softer "swallows" irregularities.

BMW Z4

The flaws in habits "sports" Butler is due in large part to the other wheels. For example, the longitudinal wave asphalt drive with a "sport" suspension starts from further tilt-so it is, when the wheels of a departure from the so-called modified shoulder running wheel. A "comfortable" at the same roof slope calmly rode directly, not in response to the alignment. A BMW Z4 3.0i Comfort hardly slower "sports" version.

BMW Z4

In fact, despite the fast sliding steering mechanism with a very low gear for (14.2), driven by Z4 from lock to lock commits more than three revolutions. In this way, the front wheels are turning at very high angle. Diameter turn, respectively, the roof is less than ten metres - the-maneuver!
