World’s fastest commute!
A Swiss company has created the world’s fastest ever road vehicle - a 340mph bullet-shaped cross between a motorbike and a car.
The Acabion GTBO looks like a jet fighter cockpit on wheels - with stabilizers - and has the power-to-weight ratio of a Formula One car
2008 Land Rover LR2 Review

The Range Rover is widely viewed as one of the finest luxury vehicles built today, and its smooth on-road and rugged off-road performance are seen by many as best-in-class. However, Land Rover’s spotty reliability record detracts from its overall appeal.
With luxury and performance to spare, reviewers are almost unanimous in saying that the Land Rover Range Rover is a wonderful full-size luxury SUV, among the finest overall luxury vehicles on the road.
Top 10 features we want in a commuter’s car
Bookmark This:
The daily commute is a fact of modern life. It makes sense to purchase a car that keeps the ride to and from work as pleasant as possible. That means foregoing certain features because they’re not practical on a day-to-day basis in bumper-by-bumper traffic.
I surveyed few of my friends to determine which of the features they consider a-must in commuter’s cars. Here are 10 that we look for in cars we evaluate; we think you should consider them as well.
- Comfortable seats: Different people have different requirements when it comes to seat comfort. Features such as side bolstering or lumbar support, for example, work well for some, but are obtrusive for others. Power controls are always good — they allow you to fine-tune the sea position while you’re driving, rather than having to stop the car. A seat-height adjuster can go a long way toward making a seat a comfortable fit for very short or very tall drivers, but some manufacturers insist that one size fits all.
A telescoping steering wheel and adjustable pedals can also be a great help. Those who live in colder climes or suffer from back problems may benefit from seats that are heated. And of course, a comfortable seat means nothing if you have long legs, and the seat doesn’t scoot back far enough to accommodate them. The important thing here is to drive the car before you buy it; it’s the only way to know if the seat meets your needs.
The Rising Value of Your Fuel Efficient Car

I drive a 2001 Dodge Neon ES, <!– ckey=”3011EA0A” –>a car with less than 40,000 miles on it. When I purchased it from the used car dealer five years ago, it had just 17,000 miles on the odometer. I paid exactly $7000 for the car, not a bad price for a vehicle with low miles.
Dodge NeonAs you can tell, I don’t drive the car all that much as I work from home and only have need of it about two days per week. My wife and I have thought about selling it, but on those days when I really need a vehicle, sharing her Toyota RAV4 would just not work out. Besides, at the rate that I am going, I’ll still have a low mileage car to give to my oldest child when he starts driving in seven years!

Wasting no time, Nissan will be offering this “gorgeous” vehicle as a gas model next year. An EV version should roll out a few years later. We might see people commuting in this car some day!
