BMW Alpina B7 2009

The Alpina B7 weighs 4,312 lb (1,960 kg), still lighter than the 750i or Li production models and it sits on some beautiful Alpina-style 21 inch wheels. All that power and balance needs to be kept in place, so Alpina packs the B7 with 245 and 285 tires.
As expected, the interior design sufffered minor modifications, in line with Alpina’s design ideas. No pricing has been announced yet, but do expect the B7 to be over $100,000.

Toyota Fortuner 2009

The Much Awaited SUV from Toyota’s stable is all set to roll out in India. The Toyota Fortuner which has kept the Indian market waiting for quite sometime now would be screaming through the Indian terrain by this year end. This one would be the face lifted version which was recently launched in Malaysia & it would for sure be a treat to drive. Built on the IMV platform as the Innova & Hilux, it would be assembled in India at its Bidadi factory in Bangalore. This would result in an aggressive pricing to compete with CRV & the Captiva. It would be available in 2.7V Petrol & 2.5G Diesel variants. The petrol version would have 4-cylinder, in-line 16-valve, DOHC, VVT-i engine where-as the diesel one would have DOHC Turbo diesel. Both the variants would come with only auto transmission in its 2009 face lifted version.

Toyota RAV4 New Cars 2010

Toyota Motor Company plans to hybridize all of their vehicles by 2020. With the prius enjoying solid control of the mid-size hybrid car market, the hybrid camry owning the full-size category, and the hybrid highlander doing well among mid-size SUVs, coloring the Rav4 green seems like a savvy next move. The current small hybrid SUV leader is the Ford Escape, so it might be the closest competitor for Toyota should they decide to bring a Rav 4 hybrid to the states. At the same time, rumors of Honda building a hybrid CRV surface now and then, and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear them again in the next few months.
