Given that people are keeping their cars longer, why not get great gas mileage and truly enjoy your car?

Yes, why should upscale perks be available exclusively on top of the segment models? Leather seating surfaces and even wood trim. Side curtain airbags and specially tuned suspensions. Premium audio systems. Things like MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity.

New or updated for 2011 are several models including the Chevrolet Cruze, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra.

New Hyundai i10

It's just the rear bumper No significant changes, however, are visible in the car's rear. On the whole, the Hyundai looks like an angry little monster. Long headlamps have been positioned on the two sides and they magnificently and sharply sweep backward.

The earlier version carried a clean-cut radiator grille that had the Hyundai logo hanging in the centre from the chrome strip on top.

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

So far no pricing has been released and of course a test drive will be what really tells us what this car To make things even worse I could probably afford it and it even has a great warranty so it would actually be pretty practical. So now I have found myself in an awkward position of wanting a Hyundai. The coupe version of the genesis is easily the best looking car Hyundai has ever made and even the stock 19 inch wheels look pretty good.

Wrong. Lets face it, a Hyundai with all these great parts has got to be ugly or at least the interior is cheap I bet right? I figured if anything the car was just going to be ugly. Then when I heard that available options like 14 inch 4-piston brembo brakes and a limited slip differential were there for the asking I thought to myself I guess I could take a look at it.

The tuner market has been begging for cars like this and most of those that deliver do so at a price that is a little steep for most. Rear-wheel drive turbo four cylinder. Hyundai has decided to build a new car and just hearing the available drive train really caught this enthusiast's attention.

Hyundai Ix35 SUV

The rear seats offer sufficient head room and feature a fold-down centre armrest with favorable sized The seat position is relatively high, providing good frontal visibility. Interior and Styling Good: The steering wheel is a funky four-spoke structure and the driver's seat features six-way power adjustment (except on the entry-level Active grade). The front grille is body coloured on the entry-level 'Active' grade and as a result (to our eyes) it doesn't appear as well integrated as the grey coloured versions on the mid and upper-grades.

Not so good: Considering the size of the vehicles 'footprint' the Hyundai ix35 is no lightweight design - tipping the scales between 1.6 & 1.8 tonnes (compare this to a medium family-sized wagon and you'll see that on average SUV's are definitely heavier creatures). Carverdict's Salute. The rear hatch holds a feature that could be called the 'mini duck tail' (Porsche 911 lovers get this). It is enhanced by the large hexagonal grille up-front which is a typical Hyundai style of spelling its presence. It makes into the list of the coolest Compact SUV's one can buy.

It also gets firm while riding over rough spaces THE REVIEW Design and Engineering Good: The first to feature the Hyundai brands 'Fluidic Sculpture' theme which arrived in February 2010. Not so Good: Hyundai ix35 SUV sports a rather heavy design with a petrol engine that gets noisy under hard acceleration. THE VERDICT Good: Modern & funky exterior PLUS a powerful-yet-frugal Turbo Diesel engine PLUS six-speed automatic gearbox PLUS an improved interior EQUALS strong value for money.

Nissan Maxima

From the years of 1976-1979, There was a complete redesign that was scheduled for the 2009 model year, and even then, the Maxima with the Maxima Wheel Covers is still one of the most affordable luxury cars that you can buy at the Nissan lot. Even if the Maxima did start out as an almost cheap looking and boxy two-door coupe, it has been transformed to this great car that's categorized as muscular, sporty, and affordable. Up to now, the Nissan Maxima is one of the few longest-running mid-size sedans that is available on the American automobile market. All of the changes that were made were done because Nissan wanted to make sure that the Maxima appealed to everyone's needs: it can be a fancy sports car or a nice family car.

As you can probably tell, the Nissan Maxima and Maxima Hubcaps have gone through a lot of changes-and when I say a lot I really mean a lot. It really wasn't until 1975 that the Nissan Maxima released itself and finally made its own name as a separate model. The very first Nissan Maxima was recorded to be debuted as the very high-end trim level of the original 1976 Bluebird. When the lease was over on the car, you can say I was crying for a week - well not literally, but I was complaining about it. I absolutely loved that car.

When I was about ten, my Dad used to have this incredible looking Nissan Maxima with some pretty decent Maxima Wheel Covers to go with it.
