While this car might have been revealed in 2008, this car is certainly one Lincoln that is gaining all sorts of different attention.  It is the Lincoln MKZ 2010 sedan.  There is something special whenever you are driving around in a Lincoln.  I think that it is a status thing and that is why this car is one that belongs on a luxury car blog.  With all of the Fords out there and the Mercury’s, I thought that Lincoln needed a little shout out and we needed to recognize the Lincoln MKZ.

Firstly, you should know that this car, for 2010 has not undergone a huge makeover, however, there are a few things that have changed – for example, the engine is going to be a little bit different and the MKZ actually has a very trim-level interior.  All wheel drive is definitely optional but if you are going to have a car like this – why not opt for it?  You can also get 18-inch wheels, which make this car even that much more luxurious.

So if you are looking for the Lincoln MKZ 2010 next year – you should really do your research, for it is top-of-the-line and certainly the best sedan of its class!

Luxury cars, luxury bikes — if it has at least two wheels and a motor that purrs, it certainly still counts. Besides, ever since Honda unveiled its new concept motorcycle (a radical concept at that) last year during the Intermot show which took place in Germany, people have been talking about it. This is primarily because the bike features a powerful and purring V4 engine, a brand new addition.

Well, the time is finally come and the motorcycle will finally be introduced quite soon. As it happens, however, you lucky readers get a sneak peek because, as yet, only a few spy shots are available.

Thus far, the voyeuristic photos tell us that the bike features a very relaxed kind of geometry — very sportbike. The seating is upright, the swingarm is a single sided one of the shaft drive variety, and there are two ram air ducts bracketing the headlamp in the front.

Although it is still speculation, it is believed that the bike will be called the VFR1200.

If you are looking for luxury in 2010, you are definitely in for a surprise, for the 2010 Jaguar XK-R is definitely going to be right up your alley.  This car is absolutely incredible all the way around and to be honest, the supercharged engine, sleek look and absolutely fashion-forward sex appeal of this car is absolutely impeccable.  The 2010 Jaguar XK-R actually features a 5.0 liter V8 engine and it is definitely the choice among all sorts of sport car lovers.

The inside is absolutely incredible as well and while I am not usually a Jaguar person, I would actually indulge myself a bit and get this beautiful, luxury car.  After all, it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about 5.2 seconds and that is extremely impressive … at least to me!

So if you want luxury and class, take a look at the 2010 Jaguar XK-R!  This car is going places … seriously!

The line of wagons from Volvo has been their bread and butter for the past years charting about half of the company’s total sales. The crossovers of Volvo particularly the XC have been received well by the U.S. market and so Volvo pours funding for a more exciting line of vehicles.

Volvo recently announced the pricing of the 2010 XC60 which debuted in the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle does not sport a typical wagon look but has a tinge of exciting sportier lines.

The 3.2L model is the youngest of the siblings of the Volvo line up. If you want to get behind the wheels of the 2010 XC60 with a 235 hp engine, you need to shell out $32395 and pay about $850 for delivery.

The XC60 has an all wheel driver version which is tagged at $34395 not inclusive of the destination charge. The T6 base model four wheel drive with a 3.0L engine capable of delivering 281 hp is still priced at $37200.

What do you think of when you hear the word “Lexus,” what does it call to mind?  Naturally, most of us think about the car.  It is nothing less than iconic, and with good reason.  But honestly, what do you think about when you hear someone talking about a Lexus?

I can only speak for myself here, but I immediately think of class and sophistication.  I think of richness.  I think of sleek, classic lines and elegant yet innovative design.  I think of state of the art styling.  I think expensive.  I think sophisticated.

As it so happens, everything I think about when I think about a Lexus is glimpsed in the new sporty 2010 Lexus IS C.  This convertible is going to come out big, that’s my prediction.  Anyone who can afford one of these is going to have one.  Anyone who cannot afford one of these is going to dream of owning one.  They are going to dream of flying down the highway with the top down and the radio blasting, getting envious stares at red lights and stop signs — because that is what Lexus represents.

Mercedes Benz tries to cope with the slow sales of its premium SUV the GLK class by giving potential buyers better options and packages. The company attributes the slump due to the oversupply of high end versions in the market.

According to company executives, they exported high end models to the United States last January affecting their overall sales.

The different versions of the GLK came in as a surprise to some consumers when the sticker price reached $40000 plus. The price skyrocketed because the packages offered by the dealerships were loaded by options.

Most of the US consumers were expecting see the tag as advertised at $34775 for the two-wheel drive version. The all-wheel drive starts selling at $36775. These prices include shipment of the vehicle.

Mercedes Benz adjusted the interest rate to 1.90% for up to 5 year and 6 months for the GLK class last February. The options for the GLK have also been reconfigured to make the package more appealing to consumers.

Brabus takes a bold move by transforming the Mercedes-Benz G-Class model into a bulky road beast with improved engine, suspension, transmission, and interior—the Brabus G V12 S Biturbo, which will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

The base engine of the Brabus G V12 S Biturbo is patterned after the Mercedes G Class engine. The Brabus engineers took the V12 bi-turbo engine and upgraded the 5.5-liter to a 6-3-liter power machine. The improved engine also comes with bigger cylinders and turbochargers, a high performance exhaust system, which comes with free-flowing metal catalysts) and a specialized crankshaft.

The upgraded and powerful engine, added to a five-speed automatic transmission, has an impressive 690 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque. The Brabus G V12 S Biturbo accelerates at 62 mph in only 4.3 seconds. However, the speed is electronically limited at 150 mph tops.

I’m liking it. This Mini Crossover (most likely to be called the Mini Crossman) is looking like it’s an extremely interesting project that COULD mean a new impulse for a relatively smaller SUV. It won’t be Mini-small, but it’ll be an excellent medium-sized car, looking good — and performing well with a BMW-built engine (and surely a biodiesel-ready version!).

Aaaah Germany, they still do great things with cars, don’t they?

This 2009 Maybach Zeppelin 62 is the prime example of a decadent exotic car. Bathing in luxury with all sorts of decadent accessories (including a $5000 ionizer) , it’s not the kind of car you’ll be seeing at the mall every week. I love it though, and I hope I get a chance to drive one (or be driven in one) some day…

“The new 62 Zeppelin and Maybach 57 models will take the spotlight at the Geneva Motor Show. Car experts and lovers will surely have praises for the power plants of these vehicles. The Zeppelin sports a biturbo V12 6.0L engine that enhances the cars output by 28 hp or a total of 640 hp brute force. This makes the Zeppelin the most powerful Maybach to date.”
