Don't Crush That Bug!!!!

In its over 58 years production life, the beetle has sold more than 21 million units. Standing as the 4th all time highest selling brand, behind the Ford F series and the Golf,Corolla tops the record with 35 million units sold over 30years. (the Golf being VW's replacement for the beetle).
Due to slowing sales of the current edition which debuted in 1998, VW is throwing in an all new model Beetle for 2011.

Historical line up of the Bug

The new beetle will feature 3 engines, 2 petrol engines and 1 diesel and yeah, it will even have a cabriolet. VW's definition for Coupe's.

Isn't that a stunning look? Cheeky, but stunning non the less.....

The 4 door Coupe Concept

A few years ago when Porsche announced it was going to make its first 4 door vehicle, it was greeted with a lot of skepticism. Today we know that the Porsche Cayenne (Porsche's 1st 4 door Vehicle) helped turn the books in Favor of the German Automaker.
Aston Martin joins the Club of Sports car companies having a luxury Sedan in their line up with the launch of the Aston Martin Rapide.

Aston Martin Rapide


The world's 1st true 4 door sports Car( sorry all you Maxima Lovers). According to Aston's top man; Ulrich Bez, it was built as a sports car with 4 doors and not a 4 door car made sporty (unlike their rivals).

with a base price of $200,000,(32 million naira) its certainly not cheap.

The Rapid based on a DB9, is powered by a v12 engine churning out 470Bhp. Though a late entrant into the 4 door coupe segment (mercedes founded this segment with the CLS and Volkswagen followed with the Passat CC, Porsche only just recently introduced the panamera), The Rapide arrives at the Party looking very, very sexy and taking the game to a whole new level!!!!


You've got to admit though, this is one stunningly good looking car!!!!!!
