Honda Civic (2006)
August 13, 2008
The Japanese car company introduced the Honda Civic in 1972 as a two door coupe, with the intentions of producing a compact car to fill the niche of an economic yet luxurious car worldwide – and it has been successful at most levels. The 2006 Honda Civic was the result of a redesigned model, earmarking the start of the eighth generation for the Honda Civic.
The eighth generation body style includes a two door coupe (FG1 / FG2), a three door hatchback (FN1 / FN2 / FN3), a four door sedan (FA1 / FA3 / FA4 / FA5 / FD1 / FD2 / FD3 / FD4) and a five door hatchback (FK1 / FK2 / FK3). The car is based on the FF layout. Read more

August 6, 2008
Perhaps the world’s most popular sports car, and definitely the most pioneering at the time of its inception, the Chevrolet Corvette is right at the top of the heap when it comes to cars.

The name Corvette is derived from a small, lightly armed warship. Read more
Chevrolet Camaro 1993-2002 (4th Gen)
August 6, 2008
1993 saw the advent of the fourth generation as far as the cars from the Chevrolet Camaro stable were concerned. Debuting on an updated F-body platform, the model from Chevrolet (and General Motors as the parent company) came out in two body styles – the two-door coupé as well as the two-door convertible. The cars in its class include a compact or ‘pony’ car, a muscle car and a sports car – based on the optional components. The basic features of the Camaro remained the same as in previous years: two doors, 2 + 2 seating, available as a coupé or convertible, fitted with a rear-wheel drive, and given a choice of V6 and V8 engines for the car. The fourth generation Camaro lasted until 2002, when General Motors decided to discontinue production. On a more interesting note, the official pace car for the Indianapolis 500 is Camaro Z28.

BMW 7 Series (2003)
August 3, 2008
In the world of cars, the name BMW is synonymous with quality - so much so that the 2002 model of the BMW 7 Series was considered a failure by some, considering the lofty standards set by BMW. Nonetheless, it was followed by the entry of the 2003 BMW 7 Series into the market. The range of cars which make up the 2003 series include the 745i, 745Li and 760Li. The sedans in this series have been given a complete makeover of sorts, and it is easily noticeable that they are completely different from their previous year's counterparts. Read more
BMW X5 (2005)
August 3, 2008
The German manufacturer introduced the X5 series in 1999 as a mid-size crossover SUV - what it basically signified was the shift (or crossover) from a truck-based SUV frame to a sedan-like body, rather like the new Lexus RX series.
The all-wheel drive is available over a wide range of V8 and petrol inline-engines. In fact at the time of the car's inception, BMW tried to market the X5 series as a SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) rather than a SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) to try and remove the spotlight from its size and girth. The different models which are a part of this series are - 3.0i, 4.4i and 4.8i. Read more
