New, 2010 Ford Mustang

Has anyone seen the new 2010 Ford Mustang Gt? I'm sure a few people have, I have recently myself. I'm not to sure what to think of the looks along with the new car. Personally I like the Saleen 'looks' wise. It hasn't been released yet, due out in a couple month's from my understanding.

Compared to the new Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and the Hyundai Genesis, the new Mustange is about a thousand dollars cheaper. And packs out at 315 horsepower with a V6 4-liter engine.

Though, the first thing that popped into my head was that it looked like a Chevy Camaro crossbreed with a Saleen Mustang. lol. Looks hot though.

$21,845

2010 Nissan Nismo

Okay. I'm not much of a 'white car/truck' fan, never have been, but when I was on the homepage of Autoblog and saw the new 370Z Nissan Nismo, I couldn't help but gap. Also, I'm not much of a 'Nissan' person either but damn. That thing is hot.

B/c I'll admit I'm not increduably vehichel savvy as I wish I was, I just got by what people who do.

But...yeah. Accordingly, the Nismo isn't much of a car than it is of it's looks. Hard handling, serious road noise, (apparently you're seating almost over the exhaust pipe...wth?). Simply put. This car isn't a regular down the road driving car -it's a sports car and isn't satisfied easily.

Anyway, while this car, performance wise, isn't given much on autoblog, it's a freaking nice car regardless.

- 0 to 60 = 5seconds
- 9-inch forged Nismo wheels
- 3.7-liter VQ

It may have cloth seats, that can be easily replaced ;)

The Honda FXC Clairty

I was watching BBC America's Top Gear a few bit ago when they started talking about one particular car. Normally I suck at remembering names of cars especially when they have 'odd' names. I have a hard time remembering American associated cars so let's not go into the subject of foreign ones. Though every once in a while a name will stick with me and I'll be able to r/m them.

I'm not a completely fluent in what is known as car but car's (trucks occasionally too) I do find a keen interest in. And in today's time and place I'm all for car's that we will benefit from having in the future and which would be awesome to have now. I'm not all for the 'global warming' thing, I am into new car's that don't run on oil, petrol or anything else that'll be running anytime soon.

And we get into the subject of Hydrogen and electricity.

In the past couple year's we all know people have been developing cars and various other vehicles that run on electricity. With serious draw back obviously. Car's that only run for a couple hours before having to be charged and takes, what? Four some hours? And batteries can get expensive depending on what you're using it for.

But. The Honda FCX Clarity. It's a four-door sedan, goes up to 136 mph, runs on Hydrogen that converts to electricity(no gasoline), and is only available in California at the moment lol.

While this car obviously some foreign luxury car you only see in magazines or an auto show it's far more significant that it looks. It's. . .a car! Personally while I'm not a fan on Honda, just 'cause, being that I'm into the whole zero-emissions that don't destroy the ozone layer or smog up our cities this is a very fine car. This car is the equivalent of the Model-T way back then, only now. From my understanding it's a step into the future. And I'm sure in the future companies will be doing similar like this car. So hopefully we get something a little more sporty but still affordable for use middle class folk;)
