2010 Cadillac SRX Coming Your Way With Redesigned Body
The new 2010 SRX from the house of Cadillac is expected to be featured with redesigned body style in comparison to its previous versions. The vehicle is expected to be displayed at the Detroit Auto Show.
Most of the features of the 2010 Cadillac SRX are similar to that of the Provoq concept car, except the power train (being the only major difference). The new Cadillac SRX model takes the most recent iterations of Cadillac’s design styles and applies it to the crossover body style. The end result is something that looks more like an SUV rather than a wagon.
As far as visual differences between the SRX and Provoq are concerned, the front grille is the most prominent difference that helps in distinguishes them. The fuel cell powered Provoq uses the thermo statical controlled shutters that close and open automatically based on the cooling demands of the power train.
It is reverted in the case of SRX and setup is similar to that of STS and the CTS models. The front corner lower LED fog lights also been replaced with the more predictable looking units. The original SRX model was designed based on the CTS vehicle’s Sigma platform, which provided the all wheel drive or the rear wheel drive.
On the other hand, the 2010 Cadillac SRX model uses the Theta platform and will be offered in front wheel drive. The all-wheel drive to the vehicle is provided as optional. The latest generation SRX will make use of the Haldex system to allocate the torque to the rear axle based on the current needs of the axle.
BMW M5
The M5 is the high performance version of the BMW 5 Series executive saloon but built by the Motorsport division. The M5 was first introduced in 1984 at the Amsterdam Motor Show, it was built using the 535i chassis and a modified BMW M1 engine – it was the fastest production saloon car in the world.
The current model, the E60 M5 was introduced in 2005; it has a 4.9 litre BMW V10 engine. It has a peak output of 507 bhp (378 kW; 514 PS) and 520 N·m (380 lb·ft) of torque. It also has a 7-speed SMG III sequential manual gearbox, also known as a single-clutch automated manual transmission.
An interesting fact about the E60 M5 – it does not have fog lights as most high performance vehicles do, this is because the space occupied by the fog lights has to be utilised to help cool the brakes during “spirited” driving.
The E60 M5 was the most successful M5, despite being on the market for one year shorter than the E39 M5. During its five year run, 20,548 units were built composing of 19,523 saloons and 1025 estates.
Personally, I love driving the BMW M5 in Scotland; the country roads combined with twisty mountain roads really do bring the best out of the M5. The BMW M5 has always been the perfect combination of practicality and speed.

Chevrolet Camaro
American made cars; the muscle cars of the past are fast becoming the most popular cars of the present. Carmakers are bringing a few of the oldies but goodies back, in body style that is. The Chevrolet Camaro is a favorite of many drivers young and old, because of the way that it looks, and the way that it makes you feel. If you are in the mood for a car that makes you feels as young as you want to be, the Camaro is the car of choice. It is known for being fast, smart looking, and great on gas.
Chevrolet is updating and changing a few of the looks of the old style Camaro, while leaving all the power, muscle and fun in tact in the Chevrolet Camaro car. The car measures to be 186 inches long. In addition, it will sit on a 110-inch platform as that is the wheelbase. The tires on the Chevrolet Camaro are 21 in the front and 22 in the back. This gives the front end a different ‘look’ than other cars, one that you will enjoy as you drive it down the highway. The engine has 400 horses, which gives you all the power you need to race down the highway, or enjoy a nice easy ride on that backcountry road. The engine is a v8 and is gas with a six-speed transmission that is manual. The best interior of the Chevrolet Camaro is the one that is made of leather, which will mark up the price of your car a bit at the same time, compared to other Camaros that are not are glitzy inside.
The first Chevrolet Camaros were put out in 1967-1970. These were the years of the muscle cars, not only from Chevrolet, but also from Ford. The sleek look and great feel of the cars of this time are making a come back, and wanted by people in our generation, meaning the here and now. The first Camaro was a little different from those of later years, as the first Chevrolet camaro was based on the nova model. In 1968, the design of the Chevrolet Camaro did change more to the body style that most are known for loving so much right now.
The Camaro has one long unibody, but presently in manufacturing, that feature could change a bit. The structure was back a bit from the front window so there was a small space. The steering of course, back in 1967 was a bit slow but with modern automobile changes, the Chevrolet Camaro is one that is easier to steer, making it a great choice for driving all day or just for a short ride.
So, what did a Chevrolet Camaro cost back in 1967 when it first came out? The cost of the car was just over $2,400. Now you can expect to pay a lot more than that, but the sticker price is going to be based on what features and add ones you give your Chevrolet Camaro. You could pay $20,000 to $30,000 depending on what you want in your car. For those purchasing a Camaro in 1967 the V8 had a two-barrel carb, and either 325 or 375 horsepower.
