2007 Geneva new LUV, EDAG's

Conceived as a niche vehicle, the LUV presents a maritime appearance from its bows to its stern, and is targeted at customers who are not looking for just an ordinary car, and who appreciate something more distinctive.
Oiled teak on the bonnet, inside as the floor covering , and again on the elegant loading plat-form, gives a nautical flair.
The dimensions of the “EDAG LUV” are also imposing. Taking as their basis a high end SUV, the EDAG Engineering + Design AG designers and engineers have constructed an LUV with an impressive overall length of 5.70 metres. Over 2 metres wide and 1.80 metres high, the “EDAG LUV” is a real eye-catcher.

Lincoln Town Car BPS

The new Lincoln Town Car BPS will look very much llike the standard model pictured here, which security experts say is the whole idea.

It's the kind of thing you see in a James Bond movie: a bullet proof car weaving it’s way through a barrage of bullets. In the movies, Bond and his car always escape with barely a scratch. In real life, when cars and trucks are fired on, it’s a much different story. Which helps explain why more and more people are driving bullet proof cars and trucks

2007 Dodge Nitro

2007 Dodge Nitro SUV

Chrysler unveils 2007 Dodge Nitro

The first mid-size sport-utility vehicle from the Dodge brand."The Dodge Nitro's styling delivers something extra; that little something mid-size buyers are still searching for — attitude," said George Murphy, Senior Vice President - Global Marketing. "In addition, the Dodge Nitro offers many features that are not typical of a mid-size SUV, such as two V-6 engines, 20-inch tires and chrome-clad aluminum wheels and a performance suspension." Engine choices include V6 engines at 210 and 255-horsepower.

Three models are available: Dodge Nitro, Dodge Nitro SLT and Dodge Nitro R/T. Available on the Dodge Nitro and Dodge Nitro SLT is a 3.7-liter SOHC V-6 engine. It produces 210 hp (157 kW) @ 5,200 rpm and 235 lb.-ft. (319 Nm) @ 4,000 rpm. The Dodge Nitro R/T features a new 4.0-liter V-6 engine that delivers 255 hp (190 kW) @ 5,800 rpm and 275 lb.-ft. torque (360 Nm) @ 4,000 rpm. Standard on the Dodge Nitro R/T and optional on the Nitro SLT is a new performance suspension and 20-inch tires and chrome-clad aluminum wheels, providing performance-oriented drivers with fun-to-drive handling and a firm ride.

Being the first mid-size SUV for the brand, Dodge Nitro had to personify the bold, powerful and street-smart attitude of Dodge," said Murphy. "In a world of mostly bland SUVs, the 2007 Dodge Nitro has the design, engineering and performance to inspire consumers and ignite the mid-size SUV market."

Dodge’s first midsize SUV is a noticeable improvement over anything else in the Chrysler group’s portfolio in this segment. The Nitro features nice interior touches, a user-friendly cargo area and a tough look in a very crowded segment. After a short test around suburbia, I was impressed with the ride and handling, even if the brakes weren’t up to par.

BMW 130i M Sport

BMW’s marketing men make much of the fact that the 1-series is the only rear-drive car in its class and, as its most powerful member, it is the 130i that stands to gain most from that configuration. But the truth is that for almost all people in almost all conditions on almost all roads, the only real difference it makes is to reduce room in the rear cabin.The rest of the time, when BMW has wheeled out a new M car I have been struck by the depth and breadth of its engineering excellence and the passion with which it has so clearly been created.
Instead the 1-series merely took me from place to place in an efficient but rather charmless and none too relaxing way. I never felt involved in the driving experience and pushed it hard not because that was what it inspired me to do but simply out of professional curiosity.

If you can live with its looks and don’t need the room in the rear, the 130i — with or without its M Sport addendum — makes a case for itself, not least because there’s nothing else quite like it out there. And among those looking for a diminutive hot-rod with some swanky badging from a coveted brand, it will doubtless find favour. But for those who have come to expect BMW to deliver a complete package — a car as good to own as to drive, one capable of both thrilling and cosseting its driver — the 130i falls short of the mark.
