BAIC bidding for Pininfarina

BAIC (Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Corp.) is allegedly making a bid to acquire Italian design company Pininfarina, which has been on the market for a few months now.

BAIC formerly brought the tooling, powertrain technology and intellectual property associated with the outgoing Saab 9-3. The Chinese car manufacture is developing new models centred on the 9-3 that it plans to sell under the Beijing Auto brand name, and Pininfarina is apparently caught up in the design of that car.

According to Chinese auto-media, a nameless BAIC executive reportedly returned from Italy, where he spoke with Pininfarina about the firm’s joint venture on a bespoke adaptation of the Saab 9-3 that would premier at the 2011 Beijing motor show.

Other potential bidders include Anhui Jiangling, Mahindra and Baja, Brilliance Auto and Magna International.

Four-wheel-drive Fiat 500 spied in Italy

Here’s prove that Fiat is developing a 4x4 variant of the 500. Spied by an eagle-eyed reader in Catania, Sicily, Italy, this mule was attracting attention left, right and centre.

The 500 4x4 will target those who want a compact, fashionable 4x4 without the associated running costs and price-tag. The newcomer will likely to be sold with 5-doors and will underpin the current Panda 4x4, giving the 500 4x4 genuine off-road ability.

Shaft and rear differential

All engines, transmissions and 4x4 hardware will be taken off the current Panda 4x4, although, Fiat will be launching the all-new Panda in 2012, itself with new engines, transmissions and a new platform. That said, we can expect the 500 4x4 to sport the all-new 0.9 litre TwinAir (both naturally-aspirated and turbocharged), 1.2 69bhp, and the 1.3 litre 90bhp turbo-diesel MultiJet. Both 5 speed, 6 speed manual and 6 speed automated Dualogic transmissions will be offered. Prices may start around £13,000 for the entry-level model, rising to £16,000 for the range-topping models with the turbocharged TwinAir engines.

According to plans submitted to unions and the Government, Fiat is looking to launch the 500 4x4 sometime in 2012, alongside the restyled 500 and all-new Panda city-car.

Infiniti, BMW And Mercedes Benz

BMW And Mercedes Benz

Without a doubt, driving a crème de la crème luxury car is thrilling, exciting and loads of fun. We often hear the saying “Money Can’t Buy Happiness”. Perhaps it can’t buy you happiness but it sure can buy you one might fine car, even one with twelve cylinders and more horsepower than you’ll ever need! Here is a list of the top luxury car brands in the automotive market.

Mercedes Benz- This is the first brand that comes to mind when you hear the phrase “luxury car”. Studies have shown that Mercedes is the number one brand prestige brand that consumers immediately associate with wealth, affluence and social status. For 2011, Benz has updated the look of its mid-level E-Class trim with a set of new angular lights and a new modern look. Mercedes is no longer just prim and proper, she can also be daring and aggressive! It is rather interesting to observe that many older C-class models are being utilized as taxi cabs in many European countries. This is testament to the durability of Mercedes engines; some of the engines on the taxi cabs have reached and surpassed the six figure range. Lots of young Hollywood stars opt for Mercedes; pop sensation Britney Spears has been often seen causing mayhem in the streets of L.A in her white Mercedes SL65 while actress Lindsay Lohan has been involved in an infamous car crash in her black SL65. This top of the linemodel comes with a V12 engine and an incredible 604 HP with a heavy price tag of approximately around $199k.

BMW- Known as the “The Ultimate Driving Machine”, this brand is targeted to consumers who crave an athletic and performance oriented vehicle. The difference between BMW and Benz is that the first is engineered to be performance oriented while the latter is aimed towards driver and passenger comfort. The most famous trim by a mile is the 3-series, which offers quality performance, handling and power at a competitive price in the entry-level market. The 335 model comes with an engine that puts out an incredible 300 HP and 300 lb feet of torque. My personal favorite has to be the top of the line 7 Series, which oozes power and class; the 2010 model boasts a eight cylinder engine with 400 HP.

Infiniti – Nissan’s luxury line is making big waves in the market with its sleek, high-performance and powerful vehicles. Infiniti has recently unveiled its high performance IPL line to the public, which is a more affordable alternative to Benz’s AMG line and the M3 series from BMW. The advantage that Infiniti has versus the other upscale car manufacturers is that its service and maintenance costs are towards the lower end of the scale. In general, Infiniti is also more competitively priced when compared with BMW and Benz. A stand out is the top of the line M56 which comes equipped with a mighty eight cylinder engine and 420 HP, with the AWD model starting at around $60k. For more info about Infinity, visit Luxury Cars Bay Area for a great selection. Bay Area Infiniti Dealer has the M56 plus the super sleek Infiniti G37 Bay Area in stock. For a more affordable line-up, check out the more affordable Used Cars Bay Area selection.

Money may not necessarily buy you happiness but it can sure buy you a fine looking car. If you’re looking for an upscale auto, you really cannot go wrong with any of the brands listed above; they are all top notch in their own right. Luxury Cars Las Vegas boasts an incredible selection of Aston Martin vehicles such as the Vantage.

Buying guide: E55 AMG by Mercedes-Benz

The E55 AMG of Mercedes-Benz is a game changer. Under £20k, a used E55 AMG is of great value. With this post we list down tips on what to look for when buying one.

Brakes

The pads and discs are reasonably priced at around £450 per set. Fitting the brakes will add a bit to the tag especially when the brake fluid will be changed. This generation of Benz requires you to plug it to a computer when you change the fluid.

Cabin

When you get an E55 with high specs you can expect that the cabin will have a ton of gadgets. You have to take note that these systems will be expensive to fix.

Chassis

The brand speaks for itself through the years and it has been known to produce tough chassis with no weak joints or bushes.

Engine

The powerplant of the E55 is hand-built and you will be able to see the names of the persons who assembled it.

Bodystyle

You only have an option between a saloon or an estate. The wagon is easier to put again onto the market later, and still you can give it a good price.

Wheels and tires

Every corner will cost you about £200. We advise that you avoid the aftermarket rims since an original wheel set on the car that is chip-free will give a hint of a careful owner who is careful with parking or spent some sum to take care of the car.
