2010 Maserati Spyder

These are the first spy photos of the upcoming 2010 Maserati Spyder. It's based on the recently introduced Gran Turismo coupe and it appears as though the Spyder will switch to a hardtop configuration. We never liked the odd proportions of the previous Spyder, so this revised version should offer a significant improvement in the styling department. The new roof should help it to maintain the GT's lines despite its shorter, two-seat configuration. Expect to see the same 405hp V8 used in the Gran Turismo under the hood of the Spyder when it goes on sale in 2009...

The Ford Fiesta is one of those compact cars that has gained popularity very quickly in India, which is more of a price sensitive market. But it’s been nearly three years since the car has been released. Now Ford India reveals that they have launched the new Fiesta SXI here.

Nigel Wark is the executive director for marketing, sales and service at Ford India. Wark stated, “The new Fiesta SXI will make a statement with its premium new style persona. Based on our customer feedback, the new Fiesta SXI has been introduced to appeal to the young, suave and style-oriented professionals who want their cars to reflect their individual personality, signifying success, confidence and accomplishments.”
So what to expect from the new Ford Fiesta SXI? The car exemplifies luxury as it features mahogany wood-finished center console as well as brushed aluminum finish adorning knobs, vents and the steering wheel and even grain beige leather interiors. It also includes a 2 DIN MP3 player with Aux-in capability. The car has a chrome finish exterior look.

Coming to the engine, there are two options, one is the 1.6 Duratec petrol while the other is the 1.4 Duratorq common-rail, turbo diesel engine. Ford claims that these engines will not only offer great performance but also will be fuel efficient. Ford reveals that the driver and front passenger get airbags and these are standard.

There is also the Anti-lock braking system (ABS) with EBD and collapsible steering column. What’s more it has a fuel cut-off inertia switch that cuts off fuel if there is a crash. They have added Passive Anti-Theft system, which stops the engine when the key is turned off. And yes, it has central locking.

The premium new Ford Fiesta SXI will hit Ford dealerships in India on August 3, 2009. The top-end SXI petrol variant will come with a price tag of Rs. 6.99 lakhs while the diesel variant costs 7.99 lakhs. The prices mentioned are ex-showroom New Delhi. Also, Ford informs that the Fiesta comes with a 2 year / 1, 00,000 km warranty and there are other options such as Extended Warranty also.

2011 Toyota Yaris - Review Summary

2011 Toyota Yaris

The 2011 Toyota Yaris is the best car for you if you want a no-worries fuel-sipper that acts bigger than its tiny size suggests – and didn’t suffer unintended-acceleration recalls.

The 2011 Toyota Yaris subcompact leverages light weight and modest power to achieve hybrid-like fuel economy. How does 29 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway sound? And that’s with automatic transmission and room for four adults. The 2011 Yaris is treated to some new colors and like all Toyotas – recalled or not – receives an electronic brake-override system. Prices for the 2011 Yaris start at a friendly $13,615. As the most desirable models tickle $16,000, however, you’ll need confidence in your priorities to resist the call of a larger car.

Should you buy a 2011 Toyota Yaris or wait for the 2012 Toyota Yaris? If you’re on a strict budget and need a new small car today, the 2011 Yaris won’t disappoint. The 2012 Yaris isn’t apt to get any compelling new features, but if you can wait for it you’ll be better positioned to compare Toyota’s smallest car against some compelling new rivals. One is the Ford Fiesta, which actually debuted as a 2011 model. Fiesta is impressive but can get a little pricey, easily costing $2,000-$3,000 more than a roughly comparable Yaris. The real rival for your attention is certain to be the all-new 2012 Hyundai Accent. Accent is already the best-seller in the subcompact class and Hyundai hopes to pad to its lead with the redesigned 2012 version.
