New 2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate

2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate Puck - "It's Hyundai." Equus uses an enhanced version of the rear wheels on the Hyundai BH platform - the same, which supports fewer Genesis sedan. At 203.1 inches long Equus adds 7.2 inches in length Genesis, horse wheelbase stretched by 4.3 cm. Width become multi-wheelbase flagship, but Equus is 0.4 inches longer than his younger sister, and rides on 19-inch chrome cylinders in stock.

The profile of the Equus relatively modest appearance but attractive sedan. There is a strong horizontal line of the character that comes from the front wheel and lost just before the C-pillar, where the curve pulls the eye through the rear wheels, with an emphasis on the slope of the greenhouse.

However, we must say - it's a lot happening in the Dead Sea in front. Hood and mask in the form linked to the least of Genesis, but the bug eye HID headlights, a large LED strips and added chrome is a little awkward at first. After a while getting used to the cheap person. Interestingly, while the back of the car, which is simple, but beautiful, with LED tail lights, chrome rails match those on the front and a large exhaust ports that are nicely integrated into the lower valence.

The only engine for 2011, Hyundai 4.6-liter Tau V8 that pumps 385 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque in this application. It is not quite put power on earth with the same level of grace, or to participate as a European designed vehicle, but surprisingly had a similar experience to horse Equus at the Lexus LS. It is buttery smooth, refined and comfortable solution is attractive.

Things will probably change after the Hyundai Equus get a new 429 hp direct-injection 5.0-liter V8, but with the current 4.6-liter engine, even if I wanted more grunt. Equus is a real disadvantage compared to German competitors simply because most of them are now eight-cylinder turbocharged tools that are super-torquey low use.

New 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350

New 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350
Here is a 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 - the first hard drive Review.
When Mercedes-Benz SLK was launched in 1997, this little roadster will probably try to make people think it's something else. At first glance, the original SLK to SL. His successor, the 2005 SLK, SLR McLaren bar nose. And faced with the latest SLK is our mindset SLS. Given that everyone seems that many sports car buyers want to replace expensive and exotic SLK Mercedes-Benz is the best that could happen. Confusions design and worked for Mercedes: SLKs more than 500,000 were sold model of life.

It can price as BMW Z4, Chevrolet Corvette and the Porsche Boxster, but the SLK is always more relaxed than cars. It was not until the last generation SLK, which is a management and performance of the promise of his appearance. This is the latest in sports, but it is not hard-core, basic sports car like the Boxster. Even with the power and superhero bravado and Corvette. It is most like BMW Z4 and even though there is not much I recommend that no new SLK.
Completely new V-6 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 (2012)

For starters, the 2012 SLK has a new engine. Unaudited heated engines, but a brand new V-6 with 60 degree angle between cylinder banks. (Old 90-degree V-6 derived from V-8 design.) Not only that the new engine has the perfect angle V-6-V-6 is a natural balance at 60 degrees, but leave more room for the turbo to to sit down with a block. Space for turbo under the hood fits a turbo version in the lineup. Or what will be seen. It is inevitable that the AMG version will be the obvious choice for a turbo, but when it comes SLK55, will be powered by a normally aspirated V-8.

For now. Best engine 3.5-liter V-6 equipped with direct fuel injection V-6 has a compression ratio of 12.3:1. This engine produces 302 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 273 pounds-feet of torque from 3500 on. American version is given a seven-speed automatic transmission. With the autobox, walk the nature of the 0-to-60-kmh around 5.5 seconds. The engine is smooth and less sensitive to vibration than the monotony of his predecessor, spinning happily excellent reception and transmission growl when the engine is running wildly around 5000 rpm on the way to 6800 RPM points.

Less powerful SLK250, SLK350 eight months after the launch in July this year. 250 is powered by a new turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 201 hp and 229 Nm. It will initially only available to companies seven-speed automatic, six-speed manual, but will be offered with four-cylinder engine and later. Lighter than V-6 said, 89 pounds overweight and is based mainly on the nose or cylinders must be substantial improvement in the dynamics of the SLK to be.

Four-cylinder is the easiest and U. S. SLKs, but also cars with V-6 to maintain their weight with an aluminum hood and fenders. Facilities Management Magic Sky umbrella, which changes the cover by pressing the button, an incredible 110 pounds lighter than a steel cap. Raise or lower the upper part is less than 20 seconds, but unlike some dust on top of the league, the SLK to be stopped to change. In general, says Mercedes SLK350 weighs about the same as the previous model, but it is longer and wider.
It is the spirit of sport, we feel?

SLK is an easy car to drive fast. Powerful brakes, grip, close supervision and support to the surprise of the unknown rather than mountain trails. Turn on strong frames and flat bottom wheel, and SLK surprises predictable cornering and high-level front-end grip. As with previous models, the new car, a variable ratio rack and pinion assembly, which accelerates as you move towards the center. Mercedes calls the Direct Drive. We call it a bit insensitive to sedate speeds, but the weight control in response to stress on the front tires. By the widespread high-speed corners, Porsche level of relations between the wheel and the driver is a little more than Novocaine numbness in the Porsche. Further strengthening of stability in the corner and Mercedes brake torque, which is part of the dynamic handling package. The system, similar to that in the Porsche 911 Turbo, yoke active person to help drive the car.

Balance and access SLK seven-speed gearbox. Paddles behind the steering wheel, driver-and downshifts questions, but the car is considered a simple request, and always in line with the same. It's frustrating to look for another switch back and allow time midcorner. Transmission also has a tendency to drop from third to fourth place in the gas.
But Mercedes

As already mentioned, the SLK roadster, ready to relax. On the highway, the engine, tire noise in the background, and two-seater will begin to feel as C-Class, which it is based. The new interior is a welcome departure from the previous SLK. Gone is the shiny, plastic, general competition rather than what seems to be a model of the SLS Board of Directors. The design is modern, clean and elegant. The driver and front passenger, and one from the shoulder, thanks to an extra 1.3 inches wide.

Prices should start around $ 50,000. Eight airbags help and attention (and a system that tries to guess if you thought that the disk) are standard. Luxury amenities include a rooftop Sky Magic Control, AMG appearance package and AIRSCARF, which blows warm air into the neck. Safety features include Active Cruise Control with Collision Warning. Fully furnished, SLK350 probably occur in the low to mid $ 60,000 range. SLK250 expected to start at about $ 45,000, when spring comes, with very little visual difference from the 350th And hey, if only one in twenty people believe that the SLK is actually SLS, at a bargain

Ford Quietly Kills Off Hybrid Escape?

Ford has announced that the next Escape, based on the European Kuga, will come with 3 flavors of I4 engines, 1.6L Ecoboost (GTDI), 2.0L Ecboost, and 2.5L NA.  No mention was made of the hybrid powertrain currently available, giving Ford bragging rights to "most fuel efficient SUV".  So it looks like Ford is quietly killing off the hybrid Escape in favor of the C-Max hybrid and plug-in hybrid.  

If I have this wrong, Ford PR is invited to comment.
