Bentley previewed the EXP 9F concept SUV about 2 years ago, the concept has a rigid and masculine styling.

But from the latest spy-shot we get recently, it looks like Bentley revised the exterior considerably, which looks to be more sleek, and the height is lower. Now it is more like a bigger version of the Porsche Macan.

The Bentley SUV will be based on Volkswagen’s MLB Evo platform, which is designed for longitudinal, front-engined, front-wheel drive based automobiles (maybe not familiar to some folks, many of the AWD VW cars, including Audi A4/5/6/7/8, plus the Porsche Macan, are placing the engine 100% in front of the front axle, which is a typical property of FWD pla...

Eight years earlier, cars sold under the $35k mark seldom get a 300hp+ engine (with exceptions like the 2005
Mustang GT), not to mention whether it was possible to get a 300hp+ luxury car at that time. Even though the
Mustang GT gets a 300hp V8 engine which is considered “high output” at that time, it sacrifices refinement
and interior material qualities and lots of other features.

But in the end of 2005, after Lexus released the 2GR-FSE engine, which was used in the 2006 IS350, the
situation is permanently changed. Equipped with the dual-injection-system 2GR-FSE engine, The IS350 has
306hp and carries a MSRP of $35,440 and its invoice price is $31,186 (for many peopl...

We always hear the idea of leasing cars, or maybe you are already leasing a car at this moment. There are also debates whether leasing or purchasing saves you more money.

In US, since you do not own the title of the leased car (the leasing company that owns the tile), this is classified as an operating lease...

Insider news about GM leaked today indicates the next generation of Corvette (termed C8), may has an option of hybrid powertrain.

We all know that the biggest bottleneck of the internal combustion engine is its torque delivery. No matter how flat the torque curve it can achieve, it will never match the level that maximum torque at zero rpm, which is a special characteristic of the electric motor.

Therefore, adding an electric motor into the powertrain not only can enhance the car’s mpg, but most importantly it will significantly benefit the car’s acceleration performance...

Some people may not care what they put into their car’s gas tank, and just go to the nearest gas station when their cars are running out of gas.

Although there is a federal minimum requirement in US for the gasoline quality, the quality warranty is just very basic and may not be enough for your car’s health, long term speaking.

For example, one requirement to the gasoline sold in US market is, there must be detergent added to prevent carbon buildup inside the engine, to keep the engine runs cleaner, more efficient and lower the emissions. The amount that the detergent added into the gasoline determines the cleaning effect...
