BMW 507

2008-12-03T10:32:00.000-08:00

The BMW 507 was a roadster made from 1956 to 1959. It is thought by many to be one of the most beautiful automobiles ever produced. Intended to revive BMW's sporting image, the 507 instead took BMW to the edge of bankruptcy -- the company's losses for 1959 were DM 15 million. The company lost money on each 507 built, and production was terminated early in 1959. Only 252 were built, plus two prototypes.

Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 8v GP 3dr: Full Specification

2008-12-03T07:54:00.000-08:00

Neat, plain styling and fashionable Italian image; the Multijet diesel engine; five-star NCAP crash test score; fun to drive; choice of bright, colourful interior trims
Drawbacks
Quality unconvincing; lower-powered engines uninspiring; awkward five-speed gearbox; not particularly well-packaged; in no way innovative
Verdict
It's a thoroughly pleasant little car with an appealing image, but it has a number of irritating flaws and it's not a class-leader by any stretch of the imagination

Its styling has been influenced by that of the Alfa 8C Competizione, with similar headlights, taillights and frameless side windows. Buyers will be given the option to personalise these details, with the choice of different materials and colours for the light surrounds. Alfa appears to have taken a forward-looking approach rather than simply trying to recreate the much-loved Alfasud - its last small hatch of this type. Alfa is fitting a new driver preferences system in the Mito, with selected modes for engine response, brakes, steering, suspension and transmission. The 'DNA' set-up will allow drivers to select 'Dynamic', 'Normal' and extra-traction 'All-Weather' modes, and it's the first such system in a car of this size

The Mito has a unique suspension system - Alfa promises 'maximum driving satisfaction in complete safety' - and minimal body roll. Standard equipment will include stability control, and Alfa is aiming for a five-star score in the Euro NCAP crash tests. Engines for the range will initially include petrols and diesels spanning 90-155bhp - expect the turbo 1.4 petrol as in the 500 Abarth as well as a selection of diesels - though more powerful versions, including a top-end GTA, will follow. Launch of the Mito takes place in June, with sales starting in mainland Europe from July. Right-hand-drive versions are expected to arrive in the UK in early 2009.

Acura TL Review

2008-12-03T01:10:00.000-08:00

The new 2009 Acura TL is a four-door luxury sport sedan with incomparable finesse available only one trim level. Powered by a 3.2-liter V6 engine, TL offers exhilarating performance and smooth ride. Proving that a sedan like the new 2009 Acura TL can be exciting, calming and composed at the same time.
Assembled entirely in the U.S., the TL combines a sturdy chassis, a remarkable engine, precise handling, and a class-leading standard of comfort and refinement. With just one available option -- the state-of-the-art Acura Satellite-Linked Navigation System -- the TL handles the details, as usual. The driver can get right down to the more immediate pleasures of owning a touring sedan, like taking the scenic route with all of Acura's confidence-inspiring performance expertise at the ready.
There's even a story behind the sleek silhouette of the TL. Beneath the sloping, aerodynamic hood, the transverse engine mounting of the TL takes up less space than other methods, resulting in an interior that's roomier than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the BMW 3-Series.
