The GLS adds alloy wheels, roof rails, cruise control and Bluetooth, and all-wheel drive versions get heated front seats. Available options include a navigation system and rearview camera.

Used Hyundai Tucson Models
The current, second-generation
Hyundai Tucson debuted for the 2010 model year. The first-generation Tucson was produced from 2005-'09. Every first-generation Hyundai Tucson had antilock brakes, stability control, front seat-mounted side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags.

The base GL was powered by a 140-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to either a five-speed manual (mandatory on AWD models) or a four-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment included four-wheel disc brakes, alloy wheels and heated outside mirrors. The top-shelf Limited model boasted items such as a sunroof, leather seats, automatic climate control and an upgraded audio system.

Dodge Journey.

Current Dodge Journey
The
Dodge Journey is offered in five trim levels: Express, Mainstreet, Crew, R/T and Lux. A six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control is standard, as is front-wheel drive. Many of the upper trim features can be added to supporting trims along with a sunroof, a 50/50-split third-row seat (increasing the passenger count from five to seven), built-in child booster seats and a rear-seat entertainment system.

In reviews, the
Dodge Journey earned praise for its flexible seating and smooth ride, but drew fire for the underpowered base four-cylinder engine that lacks any significant fuel savings.

Scion XD Reviews

An optional premium audio system adds a 5.8-inch touch-screen display.

Porsche 911s

Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Porsche 911s AG unveiled the revamped 88,000-euro ($123,000) 911 sports car today, seeking to stem declining sales of its iconic model and renew the brand's heritage as a maker of two-seat performance vehicles.

Porsche's presentation of the 350-horsepower
Porsche 911s highlights a push by German carmakers at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt to showcase models critical to their future growth plans. Volkswagen AG is pressing its case to become the industry's sales leader with a new city car, while Daimler AG kicked off its pursuit of VW's Audi and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG for the luxury-car lead with the start of a small-car line.

Porsche Icon
Six-month deliveries of the 911 model declined 13 percent to 10,101 cars as buyers waited for the revamped version.
Porsche has sold about 700,000 911s across six generations built since the model's inception in 1963. The 911, which was driven by U.S. actor Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie “Le Mans,” evolved from the Porsche 356, the sports-car maker's first production vehicle designed by Ferry Porsche in 1948.
The model came fifth in the 1999 so-called Car of the Century awards.

911 Orders
“The Germans are boasting pivotal models there.

Electric Cars
“Frankfurt is our home show, so it's natural” to premiere strategic products, Ian Robertson, BMW sales chief, said in an interview in Berlin Sept. 9. German manufacturers' offerings will attract regular Frankfurt show visitors like Hermann Reichert, a 73-year-old retired engineer who lives in Berlin and calls himself a “car fanatic.” Reichert attended the 1963 show when Porsche introduced the original
Porsche 911.

It appears in 350bhp 3.4-litre form in the Carrera, while the Carrera S gets a 3.8-litre version producing 400bhp.

With the PDK semi-automatic gearbox and the optional Sport Chrono Pack (or, more specifically, the Sport Plus feature which is part of it), the Carrera S covers the 0-62mph run in 4.1 seconds.

Pricing for the Carrera starts at £71,449. The Carrera S - which gets 20" alloy wheels,
Porsche 911s Active Suspension Management and Porsche Torque Vectoring with a limited slip differential in addition to the more powerful engine - costs from £81,242.

Mitsubishi Outlander

Mitsubishi Outlander has launched a special edition of its premium SUV, the Outlander. Last month, Mitsubishi sold 33 units of the Outlander while on an average, the Japanese automaker has been selling around 44 Outlanders in 2011. A diesel engine is what could revive the sales of the Mitsubishi Outlander and offering such special edition bits won’t matter much. The CR-V has been doing similar numbers at the Mitsubishi Outlander.

The Outlander has four-wheel drive which the Honda lacks
Our
Mitsubishi Outlander Black Outlander Sport has All-Wheel Control with 2WD/4WD/LOCK modes for when you want to save gas (2WD), when you want to let the vehicle sort out the traction (4WD), and LOCK for when the road gets ugly or disappears under snow. On the geek side, the Outlander Sport uses a smart charging system to charge the battery when coasting or braking. "Sport" in this instance may be what a condescending bigger brother calls his sibling.

This week’s
2011 Mitsubishi Outlander test vehicle may not be the flashiest vehicle on the road, but it gets major kudos for passing pretty much every challenge posed by The Annual Camping Trip."
There are three Outlander trim levels available, with my tester being the entry-level ES with four-wheel drive.

Search available options for the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander
The downside is that the Outlander’s ride quality suffers. The driver and front passenger seats are pretty good (including over extended trips), but road imperfections are even more pronounced in the rock-hard second row seats.
The Outlander ES forgoes the XLS trim’s full-time “Super All-Wheel Control” for the non-super “All-Wheel Control”, which is activated manually by the driver via a knob behind the shifter.

Though I don’t have a chance to thoroughly test its abilities, it’s worth noting the vehicle can be changed to “four-wheel drive” and “lock” mode any time those unpredictable situations arise.


Compared to popular models from Honda and Toyota, however, the older Outlander models offered less interior space, and their breathless four-cylinder engines failed to live up to Mitsubishi's sporting image.

Current Mitsubishi Outlander
The Outlander is available in four trim levels: ES, SE, XLS and GT. Outlander ES and SE models are powered by a 168-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder, while the XLS and GT receive a 230-hp 3.0-liter V6. All Outlander trims are available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

The Outlander XLS gets a Fuse hands-free link system, a third-row seat, automatic climate control, chrome accents in the cabin and voice-activated Bluetooth phone connectivity. Many options are grouped into packages and include a sunroof, the upgraded audio system, a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic updates, leather upholstery, front seat heaters and a power driver seat. A rear-seat entertainment system is a stand-alone option.

Used Mitsubishi Outlander Models
Debuting for 2007, the latest (second-generation) Mitsubishi Outlander introduced a few key attributes that the original lacked, namely V6 power, a third-row seat and additional cargo room. For 2008 Mitsubishi added the SE trim and the current car's four-cylinder engine. The first-generation Outlander was sold from 2003-'06. Throughout the first-generation Outlander's run, both front-wheel-drive and AWD versions were offered.

In addition to the LS and the XLS trims, Mitsubishi added a high-line Outlander Limited trim in 2005, with unique interior and exterior trim enhancements as well as leather seating. Models prior to 2006 reserved those safety features for premium models, making older LS-trim
Mitsubishi Outlander less desirable for used car buyers.

Chrysler Recalling Minivans

Chrysler Recalling Minivans has announced that they will be recalling around three hundred thousand minivans. And unfortunately, it is the same types of minivans that were recalled a while ago for a problem with condensation with the heating and air tubes that are found in the minivan. It is yet another problem with the heating and cooling system. This time it would seem that the heating and cooling problem could trigger the airbags to deploy. So just which minivans are being affected?

Federal safety regulators have opened an investigation into Dodge and
Chrysler minivans from the 2005 model year because the headlights can fail without warning.

The agency says more than 1,500 owners have complained to Chrysler or the government. Chrysler also has received complaints of dimming or flickering headlights. NHTSA said it will analyze consumer complaints and Chrysler's technical information.

Chrysler Group, LLC ("Chrysler") is recalling over 300,000 minivans over concerns that their airbags may deploy inadvertently. The recalls include the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Grand Voyager, and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. The recall extends as far as Canada with 50,251 minivans and Mexico with 3,748 minivans. The recalls concern a leak from the air conditioning and heating system that may cause the Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module to fail and deploy the airbags.

Have a History of Inadvertent Airbag Deployment
This is not the first recall regarding possible inadvertent airbag deployment.

2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser

The PT Cruiser's rivals are numerous and vastly more capable.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The
2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is a five-seat compact wagon that is now offered in only one trim level -- the Classic. The optional Convenience Group adds a six-way power driver seat, a fold-flat front passenger seat and heated front seats. The 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is powered by a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 150 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is a four-speed automatic that drives the front wheels. Fuel economy is a middling 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 21 mpg in combined driving.

Safety
Antilock disc brakes, front seat side airbags and a low-speed traction control system are standard for the
2010 PT Cruiser.
Interior Design and Special Features
Those seated in back are afforded a pleasant view thanks to the Cruiser's slightly elevated rear seats, and head- and legroom are plentiful for adult passengers.

Driving Impressions
With the previous turbocharged engine no longer available, the
2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is left with the anemic base power plant and outdated four-speed automatic.
