BMW 7-Series

BMW 7-Series

The 2013 BMW 7-Series is available with five different engines, which range from a turbocharged six-cylinder in the 740i, to a twin-turbo V12 in 760Li models. Reviewers say that even the base 740i offers plenty of power, while higher trims are quicker still. The 7-Series is also available in hybrid and high-performance trims, known as the ActiveHybrid 7 and Alpina B7, respectively. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, which earns praise from one test driver for its quick shifts. The 2013 740i gets 19/28 mpg city/highway, which is very good for the class. Some test drivers write that the 7-Series offers balanced handling and a comfortable ride. However, others note that rivals like the Jaguar XJ and Porsche Panamera are more nimble

Ford Mustang 2013

2013 Ford Mustang

The 2013 Mustang comes in a wide set of models, ranging from casual sunny-day cruising or daily commuting to serious, track-ready performance. Both Coupe or Convertible body styles are offered in V6, V6 Premium, GT, and GT Premium models, while the very high-performance Boss 302 is only offered as a Coupe. 

All Mustang models are 4-seaters; although convertibles are somewhat smaller in back, they're still a bit better for back-seat space than most convertibles. The power soft-top arrangement in Mustangs is tight and weatherproof, and takes up very little trunk space. 

Ford Fiesta 2013

2013 Ford Fiesta

The Base Fiesta S is aimed at economy minded customers. Air conditioning, an auxiliary input jack and a 4-inch touch screen are standard, while the car can be optioned with a nicer sound system, keyless entry and auto locking doors.

The mid-level SE models include these items as standard, while also adding the latest version of Ford's SYNC system, power windows, a trip computer, heated side mirrors and cruise control. Top of the line Titanium Fiesta add features that are unusual in the subcompact market, including heated leather seats, SiriusXM radio, pushbutton start and a perimeter alarm system. 

FORD Fusion 2013

FORD  Fusion 2013

In January, Ford revealed its 2013 Fusion mid-size sedan at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. Now, it's been priced, and some of the lofty numbers are raising eyebrows.

A fully loaded, non-hybrid 2013 Fusion has a sticker price of nearly $39,000. That price is a little breathtaking, but it does bring with it a host of new features such as adaptive cruise control; active park assist; blind-spot monitors; lane-departure warnings with lane-keeping assist; a voice-active navigation system with MyFord Touch; and a Sony premium audio system with 12 speakers. That's on top of the mechanicals--this Fusion's also outfitted with all-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine with direction injection and turbocharging

Ford Focus 2012

  

Ford's Focus has overtaken the Toyota Corolla in the sales charts. Unremarkable, you might say? Not when you realise this is the global sales mantle, making the Focus the best-selling car name on the planet in the first half of the year.

It's proof Ford's 'One Ford' gamble has paid off - to truly nail the 'world car' conundrum, streamlining production costs but still keeping consumers happy

 

 

Mercedes-Benz B-Class

 

The B-Class Electric Drive wears its heart on its rocker panels, with prominent badging to let everyone know how conspicuously environmentally friendly you are. Mercedes wants you to treat your B-Class like a Gigapet, so they’re talking up the ability to check in with your car over the web, view the level of charge, check your range on a map and plan a route. You can also condition the cabin before you head out.

Electric cars, even retrofits like the B-Class Electric Drive, are never cheap, but Mercedes is banking on its ability to separate people from extraordinary sums of money for the privilege of driving one of its vehicles to help it shift what’s bound to be a small car with a big ‘ol asking price.
