Now this is more like it; Bumblebee standing up on his own two feet, Starscream mucking around in the air and a whole lot more. The final theatrical trailer of Michael Bay’s Transformer Movie is probably the best thing you’ll see until the film hits the big-screen on July 4th. Excited? We most certainly are.

Seems like every country has its own sports car today so when we discovered the Mastretta MTX it didn’t struck as a big surprise. Developed by Mastrettadesign, a company founded in Mexico City in 1987 that specializes in industrial design, the MTX sports coupe will be launched at the 2008 International Mexican Auto Show in December 2007 with sales (Mexican & International) starting in the first
What a glorious day for all ya gearheads: Nanjing Automobile Corporation (NAC) announced that that first Chinese built MG’s have rolled off the production line!!! We hope you know what that means –seriously now, cause we’re kinda left speechless with all this excitement that the news brought us… Well, I supposed I should say a thing or two about NAC MG. The latter obtain the rights to build MG
“Sexy!†is all that comes to mind when I took a look at the Audi A5 and Steve Siler over at CarAndDriver.com wonders “whether Audi’s slinky sexpots are the kind of girls you want to have kids with, or the type that you’re better off just, um, you know.â€
I have to say, the A5 did make me think twice about cheatin’ on my A8. The A5 looks more fun, but yet the A8 is soooo distinguished and grounded.
Hmmm, well I could get both, couldn’t I?
Here are some of the A5’s features:
| Engine | 3.2L displacement double overhead cam (DOHC) V6 cylinder configuration 24 valves variable valve timing 243 ft-lbs. @ 3000 rpm |
| DriveTrain | 6-speed manual transmission all wheel drive |
| Suspension | four-wheel independent suspension front and rear stabilizer bar multi-link front suspension multi-link rear suspension |
| Instrumentation | tachometer clock low fuel level warning |
It’s been a day of YouTube for me and of course, I had to check out any new Audi videos that have been uploaded. I came across this Audi car compilation that has pictures of pretty much all of the Audi models…
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted and they say if you really want something, you need to think about it everyday. With that said, I have the intention of posting here everyday and visualizing that A8 in my driveway!
There’s much talk in the blogosphere about Audi’s Cross Coup Concept which was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show today….
Kicking Tires has some great photos of the car from different angles.
The Autoblog says: “…Audi appears to give up some utility by going for style, as its cargo area is obviously going to be compromised by the sloping roofline…â€
The German Car Blog says: “…And don’t believe in some other websites telling you that this is the new Audi Q5. We don’t think so!â€

A business owner told me that oftentimes it’s better not to grow too fast. This is the feeling that I get regarding Audi right now. The company has been very aggressive in getting out their new models and making it known that they’re aiming for #1, but I wonder if they could be growing too fast. Just in the past month I’ve learned about 3-4 new models which makes it a bit tough to choose! Well, you know my choice, but for someone who isn’t familiar with the Audi brand, it can be overwhelming!
But that’s just my opinion… What are your thoughts on Audi’s growth?
It seems that Audi is full of energy these days and well, with a goal of being No.1 by 2015, the company has to stay busy! One of the newest additions is the Audi A5 sport coupe which looks like a pretty nice-lookin’ car, I must say. Although, for some reason it kinda reminds me of the Toyota Solara. Maybe it’s because Lexus designed the back?
Drivetrain includes: 265-hp, 3.2-liter V-6 (A5) or 354-hp, 4.2-liter V-8 (S5) with six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission (both cars); all-wheel drive

I just came across some “spy shots†of the next generation of Audi A8’s over at Audi World (via Autoblog). Looking at the pictures, it seems that this new version of the A8 looks a bit sportier. I do like the side view, but I don’t know if I care too much for the wider fenders.
Anyhow, to update you on my journey to buying my own Audi A8, I did receive a booklet from Miramar Audi (thanks, guys!) and just need to set up an appointment to test drive one! However, I’ve had doubts about purchasing a brand new one because someone told me that the A8 depreciates very quickly. Then I think, well, what car doesn’t depreciate? It’s not like I will be selling it any time soon anyways. If anything, I plan on keeping it five years or more….
