The Mazda RX-8 - high-performance 2009
The Mazda RX-8 is a compact sportscar with a unique engine configuration and an unusual passenger layout. The RX-8 is powered by a Wankel rotary engine and follows a long line of Mazda model powered by rotary engines.The high-performance 2009 Mazda RX-8 R3 gets a
sport-tuned suspension, Bilstein shocks, and high-performance tires on 19-inch wheels, along with foam-filled front-suspension crossmembers, which help quiet the stiffer ride and aid control.
It also comes with wider side sills, forged alloy wheels finished in a smoky gray hue, a 300-watt .Bose Centerpoint sound system, and a Bluetooth interface.The 2009 Mazda RX-8 is offered in four different models: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, and R3. The 2009 Mazda RX-8 is powered by a compact but potent 1.3-liter, twin-rotor engine, making 232 horsepower with the standard six-speed manual transmission but detuned to 212 horsepower with the available six-speed Sport A/T automatic transmission.For 2009, there are a number of minor changes
on the outside, including turn signal lamps that have been integrated into larger headlamps units, a redesigned front fascia and grille, and a slightly different tail lamp design.
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.
The RX-8 has won more than 50 global awards since its release including 2003 RJC Car of the Year in Japan Australia's Wheels magazine's Car of the Year for 2003, 2003 International Engine of the Year, 2004 Singapore Car of the Year, the 2004 U.S. Best Sports Car and UK Car of the Year 2004. All together, Mazda has sold nearly 167,000 RX-8s around the world.
When designing the RX-8, safety was given as much of a priority as was performance. For Mazda, the safety process incorporates both accident avoidance and accident protection.
In addition, a comprehensive three-year/36,000-mile warranty covers every part on the vehicle except those subject to normal wear. Also, all models receive a five-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty and a five-year/unlimited-mileage corrosion warranty.

Dodge Grand Caravan - Current models
The Dodge Grand Caravan is an elongated version of the now-defunct Caravan, America's original minivan and one of Dodge's biggest success stories in recent decades.The Dodge Grand Caravan's performance has been less impressive.
It was one of the last minivans to offer essential safety features like stability control and a rearview camera. The driving experience falls short of the competition, thanks in part to this Dodge's unrefined and often underpowered engines. Three engines are available. Peek under the hood of SE models and you'll find the standard 3.3-liter V6. Paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, this engine makes 175 horsepower. The standard engine on SXT models is a 197-hp 3.8-liter V6, and it's mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The third engine is the one to have -- an optional 251-hp 4.0-liter V6 for the SXT only. It's teamed with the six-speed transmission, and it brings with it a sport-tuned suspension.
The Grand Caravan is also available in four previous generations. The first spans 1987-'90; the second, 1991-'95; the third, 1996-2000; and the fourth, 2001-'07.The fourth-generation Grand Caravan's engine lineup included a 180-hp 3.3-liter V6 and a more powerful 215-hp 3.8-liter V6. The top-of-the-line trim level offered Stow 'n Go fold-flat seating, dual power-sliding doors, a separate rear heating and air-conditioning system, a power driver seat, 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and powered accessories. As you consider trim levels, keep in mind that the naming system for the van's trims changed a few times during this generation.
The 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan has all the features you expect in a minivan—and many more, including in-car satellite TV. Autoblog lists “a removable, cordless, rechargeable flashlight in the cargo area, power sliding doors and rear hatch, adjustable pedals and overhead LED reading lights for all three rows of seating.”For the adults up front there’s an available MyGIG entertainment option that stores up to 20 gigabytes of music and video, which can be uploaded via anything with USB capability.
The 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan ranks 3 out of 8 Minivans. This ranking is based on our analysis of 20 published reviews and test drives of the Dodge Grand Caravan.

The 2009 Infiniti FX 35 - new car in The Market
The 2009 Infiniti FX 35 is the second generation of this performance crossover SUV from Nissan's luxury division.The V6 model is still called the FX35 in recognition of its 5-liter engine. This engine have significantly changed,and many pieces large and small are new.
The FX35 takes 6.1 sec to get to 60 mph; not a bad time for a 4293-lb SUV, but there are quicker rivals in the class. The 2009 Infiniti FX will continue to use a 3.5-liter VQ engine to power the base model. Some speculated the 3.7-liter engine found in the G37 would appear under the hood of the FX to distance it from the new EX35. the FX35 will produce 303 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. That's an increase of 28 hp, but a loss of 6 lb-ft of twist compared with the outgoing FX35. Both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models use a new seven-speed automatic transmission with manual override and rev-matching downshifts. Magnesium paddle shifters are available for those who wish to maximize the effectiveness of the manu-matic option.
The FX35 and FX50 are a showcase for Infiniti’s advanced technology, and as you would expect, incorporate a comprehensive array of standard and available convenience and performance features. your Bose audio system is iPod compatible, and virtually everything is voice activated if you select the Navigation Package, which also includes DVD entertainment and XM NavTraffic.the FX35 can brake and accelerate on its own, and it can even provide small steering inputs using the brakes. I tried to leave the systems turned on as much as possible to experience their capabilities and limitations.
Standard features include moonroof, bi-xenon headlamps, power hatch closure, XM radio, while smart cruise control, voice-recognition navigation with real-time traffic, rear-seat entertainment systems, and a host of electronics are also available.Features are good and fair for the price point. Some features, including the Around View monitor, are not available elsewhere at any price, at least not for the next 15 minutes or so. And these things are loaded. If it isn't standard, it's probably available.
Based on the same platform as the Nissan 300ZX and Infiniti G37 sports cars, the Infiniti FX is a rear-wheel-drive based vehicle. (The FX has nothing in common with the Nissan Murano, which is a front-wheel-drive vehicle built on an entirely different platform.) The FX goes like stink and offers sporty handling along with some cargo capacity.
Pricing will be announced immideatly
