The Cool and Stylish 2012 Volkswagen Beetle
Posted by admin in New Car, Volkswagen on June 29, 2011
The all new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle offers a stylish blend of 60s flair and modern technological oomph. While it will not be confused with the iconic make of decades past, the new Beetle is sportier, more powerful, and ready to take its passengers all across the country and back with plenty of room for cargo and good times. Aesthetically, it holds on to the smooth rear lines of the original 60s Beetle while moving beyond the circular design and replacing it with an edgier and more angular profile. This article will provide additional information about the new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.
The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle comes with three engines so buyers can decide for themselves where they would like to strike the balance between fuel economy and red lining performance. At the base level is a standard 2.5 liter gasoline engine with 5 cylinders. This version is present in other offerings by VW, and it can put out up to 170 horsepower and up to 177 foot pounds of torque in the lower gears. This is more than enough to get anyone around town and up to speed on the fastest highways in the United States.
However, people interested in more speed and acceleration can opt for the 2 liter turbo charged 4 cylinder engine that will be capable of putting out up to 200 horsepower. This engine is the same one that buyers of the 2011 Golf GTI are treated to. It will cost you more in gas and in the initial purchase price, but if your primary priority is power, then you will probably find it worth it. Read the rest of this entry »

You can also expect this car-based compact SUV to be as future-looking as its counterparts in the market.
Hyundai 2011 Tucson is looking to be one of the best new car deals for the year 2012 although it only comes with a single engine option. The model is equipped with a 2.4-liter four cylinder engine that can produce 176 horsepower max and 168 lb-ft torque. On the other hand, the base model features a default option of six-speed manual transmission, with an optional version of six-speed automatic.
