Mercedes-Benz G-Class (2012)

  

CARBARN | Mercedes-Benz G-Class (2012) | When Mercedes-Benz SUVs Decided to take on head-on, it did not hold back much. In short order it added the R-Class crossover, a smaller GLK ute, and at the top of its new sport-ute lineup, it introduced the GL-Class, a three-row, full-size SUV staged to Compete with the Escalade , Navigator, even the Range Rover. The Benz star on the front end looks as big as a Civic steering wheel - proportional to a body that's nearly as big as a Suburban.

The diesel's torque is a great match for off-roading (though the available off-road package of skid plates is Offered on it). Fuel economy is rated at 17/23 mpg - better than the Tahoe or Escalade Hybrid - and there's only a hint of the diesel thrumble That signals the type of engine underhood, the kind That delivers about 600 miles on one tank of fuel. The gas engines on offer are considerably higher in horsepower, and lower in gas mileage.

On all versions, the GL power shifts through a seven-speed automatic to all four wheels, with an electronic all-wheel-drive system limits wheelspin That through anti-lock braking, a system pioneered on the M-Class. The transmission's well-suited to the gas engines; with Diesels, we've noted a little more shift shock.  The GL's three rows of seats capable of seating are an adult in every one of its seven positions, something That is not as easy in an Escalade Because of its seat-folding doors and Mechanisms, or even possible in a five-seat Range Rover . The front seats are as spacious as any big SUV, and They can be fitted with ventilation, a luxury feature we've come to appreciate. Three adults will fit in the second row if they're medium-sized.

Adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitors are also available. Every GL-Class ute has power front seats standard; a power-fold feature for the third-row seat; a glass sunroof over the rear two rows of seats; a COMAND controller for climate, audio and navigation systems; Bluetooth; and an AM / FM / six-DVD changer. The GL350 BlueTEC diesel has 20-inch rims, and the GL450 gets 19-inchers. Leather seating is not standard on the GL-Class: Mercedes says it's Because some owners want Cruelty-free upholstery, so be sure to tick the option box pricey if you're shopping.

Major options include a navigation system on lesser models: a 610-watt Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio system with surround sound; and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with twin 8-inch screens and wireless headsets.

Mazda 6 (2014)

 

Car Barn Sport | Mazda 6 (2014) | The 2014 Mazda 6 is the new replacement for the slow-selling midsize sedan in North America bowed for the 2009 model year. Mazda 6s sold in North America in the last decade, are price-protected against adverse exchange rates are constructed, Michigan plant by swings in the Flat Rock, was founded in 1985 as Mazda Motor Manufacturing (USA). The plant was a joint venture with Ford Motor Company in 1992 and was named Auto Alliance International. AAI is also the home of the Ford Mustang sporty / sports cars since 2005.

Return to Japan, Mazda 6 production is a further settlement of a partnership that began in the early 1970s and grew to combined vehicle and platform development, and include joint production. Mazda CEO Takashi Yamanouchi said that Mazda has decided 6 "to production and investment to improve the efficiency and optimization of our business after careful consideration of all the opportunities and risks, including the global needs, changes in demand in North America, and exchange rate policy exposure

Although the total brand sales in the U.S. rose by 10 percent over the previous year's calendar year 2011, the inclusion of some quarter of a million cars a little more than Ford Fusion medium with only his car was covered. The 2013 CX-5 compact SUV is the first result, but the new approach in the Japan-source 6 and, in fact, designed to prove all future new Mazda. As the CX-5 was seen by early-2011, the slightly hazy Minagi concept, it is an open secret that the 2014 Mazda 6 sedan Takeri announced by the concept presented in autumn 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. 

Inevitably, the interior is less fancy than the show car, with more-conventional measuring and control technology and seating for 5 people instead of 4 External dimensions are probably little changed, so that the new 6 is almost 3 inches shorter and longer than an inch narrower than the car it replaces, but also about 2 inches more wheelbase and almost 2 inches longer. Much can be the most for any future model of the small Mazda Miata MX-5 sports / performance car to the CX-9 midsize SUV to be scaled. Despite the slightly lower space requirements, see the 2014 Mazda 6 is lower, longer and more "masculine" than the previous sedan

A 4-door sedan body style remains the only one, and 6 are still available only with front-wheel drive, despite a platform to share the available AWD CX-5. The 2014 Mazda 6 is to imitate Takeri concept of the 4-wheel independent suspension with front struts almost certainly (in place of the previous double-wishbone) and rear multi-link geometry. Look for components that are optimized for sporty handling per Mazda Zoom-Zoom "mantra and must be designed for minimum weight with maximum strength at the Skyactiv model. Same should apply to standard 4-wheel disc brakes with integrated anti-slip steering system to apply a purely electric drive as little support for the MPS to improve, we expect that 17-inch alloy wheels are standard -.. not greed-based models for steel wheels - 18 years and maybe 19s are available.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S (2012)

 

  

CARBARN | Porsche Panamera Turbo S (2012) | Man, that 494-horsepower Porsche Panamera Turbo're driving is hot. Geeze, you even got the $ 2.440 Sport Chrono Pack Plus, so Those 60 mph runs must flash by in 4.0 seconds flat, Sometimes less, thanks in no small part to the 567 pound-feet of torque overboost. Damn. Silly Porsche price-gouging options lists. Pshaw. Oh, crap, Those 20-inch 911 Turbo II wheels are wrapped in performance tires specially concocted with sidewalls That just read "Michelin." And its got a Porsche Exclusive side skirts, thick black-lacquered window trims, And that exhaust. it's the Panamera Turbo S you read about.  With the specific Sport Chrono Turbo is fitted as standard, They say it'll scorch the 60-mph run easily in just 3.6 seconds.

Maybe the upcoming latest Mercedes E63 AMG with its 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 and Performance Pack Could Make an Attempt at wrenching and wringing out the cockles of our heart's high-performance luxury, but We doubt it already. Hunkered down in our own "Blurred landscape" mode with the Sport Chrono's Sport Plus button lit up and four exhaust tips blaring, in this moment That was The Sweetest of Porsche cars.

Apart from intermittent lulls of uncooperative traffic bottlenecks and Seriously inclement weather, We did not want to un-light nor the Sport Plus button Soften the Porsche Active Suspension Management much. The press kit Tells Us That the Porsche Panamera Turbo S weighs in at 4.400 pounds plus, but the onboard tech and chassis setup convince us we're in a really sizable, roaring 911 Turbo S.  Guess we'll have to wait for that promised "everyday" four-door Lamborghini Estoque based on the concept. Ferrari still Sighs heavily Whenever anyone ACKs the four-door question.

Up until this driving S-ified Panamera Turbo trim, We never really Obsessed over these big-GT Debates. Basically, you can order the All Things to add to your Panamera Turbo, including the Panamera Turbo Powerkit (normally $ 21.730), come standard on a Turbo S. The $ 5,000 (but the standard here) Anti-Sway police provided by the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control works together with the nimble Porsche's electronically controlled Torque vectoring Plus at the rear axle differential to straighten out the most demanding curves. At this level of heavyweight performance, that the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake System Remains an $ 8.840 option is a bit of a joke. If you want to go to the extremes where this car just took us, PCCB needs to be standard, just as the seven-speed PDK gearbox with its far better paddle-shifting Sport steering wheel and 20-inch wheels (9.5-inch wide front and 11.0-inch wide rear) and a sports exhaust are standard.

Calmly urging around the Panamera S Hybrid recently tested versus the drama of chucking around the Nearly twice as expensive Turbo S - Incidentally the which gets the same 23-mpg EPA highway rating as the Turbo - has shown us the tempting extremes of this impeccably Executed Porsche.
