Happy Sunday everyone, Big_Blocker here with some exciting news for all of you Ford fanatics. The 2010 Mustang hit the track last month during North America’s largest classic car event, Road America. Although pictures on the Ford site were limited to only shots of the camoed front end of the car, slight styling changes can be seen if looked at hard enough. Hit the jump for the rest of the story on the weekend. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the best parts of my year is being given the pleasure to attend the inevitable summer wave of conferences. Thanks to the central location of Dallas, relative to the rest of the United States, my very own metroplex houses some of the coolest and most entertaining conferences around, including some killer car shows, gaming tournaments, and most importantly, the annual Quakecon event.
- That’s a lot of geeks.
When was the last time a vehicle came out in only a hybrid trim? Before the Toyota Prius, the Honda Insight took the stage as the predominant hybrid-only vehicle, but sales weren’t nearly as successful as the famed Prius. Honda has been pretty mum about their upcoming hybrid-only vehicle, but they have told the public that the Pruis-killer will cost around $18,500. The current Prius starts at $21,500 before dealer markups. The new Honda will take a shape similar to Honda’s fuel cell FCX Clarity which underwent a limited release in Santa Monica, California recently. The arched 5-door hatchback shape, which is similar to the Prius’ profile, is symbolic of the hybrid movement.
What happens when you mix John Carmack and Cars? PHUN!
This year, I was blessed to be able to cover the Quakecon event run by id software in Dallas, Texas, and boy did they offer us here at WebRidesTV a pleathora of new shtuff to talk about! As a matter of fact, there was so much new and exciting news in the automotive and gaming worlds that you will get to read my normal blathering banter every single day next week.
Isn’t that exciting?!
Claiming to be America’s most fuel efficient automaker, Honda sales have taken a significant hit this past month. Truck sales (Ridgeline) have declined by a staggering 27.8% while car sales have set a record with a 6.7% rise in sales. Overall, the decline of truck sales dragged Honda’s overall sales down 9.2%. The 125,916 sales represents a 8.2% drop from July sales in 2007.

Happy weekend Web Riders, this is Big_Blocker with a bit of information I came across reading the headlines in the automotive world this morning. I saw a headline that had a list of the top selling cars in the US for the month of July and I was surprised at what I found. Not only were economy cars not the top seller in July, but the Big Three automakers held a firm grasp in the top ten with their full-size truck sales. I found this very shocking and began to think about what rising fuel prices are doing to demand for gas-guzzling trucks. Hit the jump to read more. Read the rest of this entry »
While the Chevrolet Corvette and Ford Mustang are legendary American cars that can always be found here in the States, there are some cars not sold in the United States that are quite unique. Most of these unavailable cars are sold in Europe and others are sold throughout Asia. Some cars wouldn’t be profitable here in the States and some just simply aren’t offered.
2009 BMW 7 Series
The all new 2009 BMW 7 Series features a variety of upgrades from the previous series. The exterior appears smoother and more refined than the previous model, which to some might seem boring, but to others classy. The 750i and extended wheelbase 750Li will both be fitted with a 400hp 4.4L Twin Turbo V8 with 450 ft-lbs of torque.
Even back in 2005, the SUV has been experiencing significant drops in sales. Trucks are feeling the heat too. The famed Ford F-150 is no longer America’s best- selling vehicle.
