In these recession-stricken days, just like many other autos, the van industry also seems to zeal and zest, but still vehicles like GMC Savanna, the Chevy Express, Ford E-Series and Dodge Sprinter are considered quite effective trade tools in the US.
But now there is a tool which is quite different from the above stated trade machines, and this beast is none other than the Ford Transit Connect that is a bit lower than the Sprinter-like Transit in various parts of Europe. This front wheel drive Connect has a bit lighter courier for duty as well as for delivery service. In this segment of the industry almost everything has been included even vehicles like Citroen 2CVs as well as Fiat Pandas.

It has baked enough in bankruptcy and now its time to do something new and fresh, well it seems that the new General Motors is quite well aware of this fact and now going to sell its entire line of cars on eBay via pilot program.
“Right now the marketing efforts will be made only for California, but if the program proves successful, it will be carried throughout the US,” says Fritz Henderson, GM’s CEO.
GM is not getting a tie-up with eBay for the first time, as the automaker has also placed many other GM Certified used cars on eBay during the previous years. Chrysler and Toyota also had similar programs for their certified used cars.
However, according to GM no definitive agreement has been placed yet, and they both are still in talks.

Technically, the 2010 Kia Forte can be reckoned as a successor to the Spectra, but in actual it is something more than that and the thing which can be easily noticed is that this time the automaker seems to leave behind soul hamsters and now it is concentrating more on its product rather than marketing. The 2010 Kia Forte has the freshest list of competitors that include Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Mazda3 and Chverolet Cobalt as well as Ford Focus to some extent.
When it comes to the looks, it features a vigorous muscular body with distinct shoulder line all around the fenders and the hood. These seem to extend rearward in low and wide stance; it takes even more clear and welcoming shape with its swept back headlamps that join grille area. The design and styling are quite expressive and it is, indeed, one of the best designs that some Kia ever had.

Hyundai has been actively taking part in and leaving no stone unturned to dominate the automotive world. These guys were quite well known as the decent suppliers, though we can’t reckon them very good. But things changed suddenly when they introduced their coupe and Genesis sedan, and now they are known as one of the most influential players of the auto industry.
It was in 1991 when the Elantra was first introduced in the US, and at that time it wasn’t a vehicle with top shelf quality. But eighteen years are enough to utterly change the things. Now Hyundai is advertising the Elantra as a compact sedan with class-above options that make it feel quite expensive. It has been powered by the typical four-cylinder engine, but there are many other top features like Bluetooth, Electronic Stability Control as well as traction control.

With the launch of this new Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the Korean manufacturer has really proved very impressive to show its performance and muscles in the field. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is being called as the spiritual successor of the popular Nissan 240 SX, and it has all those features that people often want to have in a coupe.
The first thing that is worth mentioning here is that the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has a totally new look, and you can’t just reckon it a replacement for a aging Tiburon. This time it is really a thing which can be said entirely fresh with its stylish silhouette that has interesting facets all around its corners. From front it takes an arrowhead-like shape and on its side edges it nicely set its Z-shaped creases. The arena in which the BMW 335i, Infiniti G37 and Mazda RX8 are some vigorous players, the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe seems to enter the same arena with great pomp and show. The Genesis Coupe is available in Premium, Base and Track packages while a new version is expected in the later part of this year and it will be made available with an R-Spec.
