2010 VW Passat Pics
The 2010 Volkswagen Passat ranks 13 out of 18 Affordable Midsize Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 66 published reviews and test drives of the Volkswagen Passat, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2010 Volkswagen Passat is an affordable midsize car with an interior that almost belongs in a more expensive class, combined with with suspension tuning that makes it fun to drive and an excellent safety record. However, it's also one of the most expensive midsize cars, particularly when fully loaded with options.
The 2010 VW Passat offers a near-luxury level of refinement, and excellent road manners. It also offers a near-luxury price. Edmunds notes, "For many folks, the Passat fills the gap that exists between normal, humdrum family cars and the financially out-of-reach luxury brands."
Reviewers aren't sure what to make of the car because of that unusual status, floating between affordable and luxury classes. The 2010 Volkswagen Passat, most critics say, is an enjoyable car to drive. It offers a refined, smooth ride, and sharp handling for a family car. Its interior is a step up from those of most Affordable Midsize Cars, with high-quality materials and fine attention to detail.
Its high price, however, can be hard to justify. Volkswagen's midsize car isn't among the class leaders in fuel economy, either -- making it an expensive car to own.
Other Cars to Consider
The Passat is known for its tight handling, but high price. Those looking for a fun-to-drive midsize car might want to consider the Mazda6 or Ford Fusion as well. Both cars offer similar athleticism at a lower price. The all-new Suzuki Kizashi is a bit smaller, but may be the sportiest entry in the midsize category.
Volkswagen loyalists might also want to look closely at VW's other midsize car. The stylish CC uses many of the same parts as the Passat, but offers an even more upscale feel with similar driving dynamics. Many VW dealerships now stock a greater variety of 2010 CCs than Passats.
Volkswagen Passat: The Details
Volkswagen has scaled back Passat production significantly, as the company prepares to replace the aging model. For 2010, Volkswagen will build only a single trim level for the Passat, available as a sedan or wagon. VW offering free scheduled maintenance for the first three years or 36,000 miles on all Passats.

2013 Range Rover Sportster
Even thought an association between the Range Rover Sport and eco-friendliness might sound ridiculous, the British manufacturer is apparently hard at work on developing the 2013 Range Rover Sport hybrid electric.
The 2013 Range Rover Sport hybrid electric will be badged as the Range_e and will feature an diesel engine backed by an electric motor and of course a battery pack, plus the car will use a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission.
The 2013 Range Rover Sport hybrid electric is part to the company's large family of Land Rovers that will be launched in 2013, and it looks like the full hybrid will be launched initially, then a plug-in hybrid is expected to follow in 2015.
The British car maker will begin tests with the 2013 Range Rover Sport hybrid electric at the end of this year.

2011 volvo s60
When Volvo's all-new S60 goes on sale this September, the initial offering will be the top-tier $38,550 T6 with all-wheel drive, 300-horse turbocharged I-6, and six-speed automatic. Volvo, evidently, wants to launch its fresh midsizer with a decided bang. And why not? When replacing its top-selling model, Volvo would be wise to put its best (and most potent) foot forward. And, lest we forget, its best-looking foot, too.
The 2011 S60, 1.0 inch longer, 2.4 wider, and 2.2 taller, somehow manages to appear sleeker and tidier than its predecessor. Chalk it up to Volvo's new "emotionally charged" coupelike silhouette and overall "racetrack" appearance, which refers to the exterior lines' continuous and organic flow, supposedly mimicking vehicles in motion. Whatever's taking place on the sheet metal is working -- the new S60 is as stylish as it is safe.
Inside, the design renaissance continues. Volvo's trademark floating stack, adorned in standard Shimmer Graphite inlays or optional Urbane Wood, now resides front and center, bringing the S60's HVAC and infotainment housing up to date with the brand's other models. Amply bolstered front sport seats are standard, and rear-seat passengers get 2.1 inches of additional legroom. Available options include a $2700 Multimedia Package (backup camera, premium audio, and navigation with traffic updates), a $1500 Premium Package (moonroof, power passenger seat, bi-Xenon headlamps with active bending), and a $2100 Technology Package (adaptive cruise control/lane departure warning/distance alert, collision warning and Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake). For those hauling kids, the S60 also offers an $1800 rear entertainment system with dual DVD players.

2012 Jaguar xj Nice Cars
Yet again, new spy shots have come out of the new 2012 Jaguar XJ. This time, we actually get a glimpse of the full body. Although heavily padded, we can see impressions of an elongated hood and potentially elegant rear styling on a four-door coupe.
The new version of the Jaguar XJ will be new parent company Tata Motors' first attempt at a full-size luxury. The XJ moniker itself is over 40 years old.
Body shape of the new XJ is expected to be totally different from the current generation. A likely cause is the poor sales figures of the current model. Previous reports, including one by WCF, cite the 2012 Jaguar XJ as a potential competitor to the Audi A7, Mercedes CLS-class, and Porsche Panamera.
Expected release of the new 2012 Jaguar XJ is Spring 2011.
