Infiniti May Offer RWD Hybrids;



Infiniti, whose used models can be purchased at a discount from Sarasota Used Cars dealerships, is considering offering a rear wheel drive hybrid model. The Infiniti M35 hybrid will hit showrooms in Spring of 2011, and future models may use the vehicle's powertrain which is capable of rear wheel drive power. Dallas Cadillac Chevrolet Dealers offer models which are excellent in their quality such as the latest Honda models as well as Acura vehicle models that are well built and great on fuel.

Volkswagen will also offer a hybrid Jetta model that will be released in early 2011. The drivetrain for the Infinti M35 hybrid was designed to fit all of Infiniti's rear wheel drive model. The Infiniti M is the flagship model of the brand at the moment, although the company is still looking to develop a more symbolic flagship model. Can't find what you need there? Well there are always cars for sale Albuquerque, where you can find just what you need. The Infiniti M35 may launch followed by hybrid versions of the G, EX, and FX vehicle models.

At the moment, the rear wheel drive hybrid market is very small, but it may grow over the next few years as other hybrid markets grow. The compact and sedan hybrid markets have certainly grown over the past 5 years, and it is safe to say that we might see other vehicle markets like pickup hybrids and SUV hybrids continue to grow.

Current models for RWD hybrid sedans include the Lexus GS 400h, the LS 600h, BMW 7 Series ActiveHybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz S400. Outside of these models, there are no other rear wheel drive hybrids, and entering a new vehicle in the market may not be a bad idea for Infiniti. Infiniti like other vehicle companies is looking to offer more vehicle options for its consumers. The company is also trying to brand itself as having flagship models available and other options when historically it has had a limited model range.

Top Technology Features of the Top Convertibles of 2010;



The latest convertibles feature some of the top technology and features available. Pre-owned convertible models can be browsed at a KSMO used cars dealership. A popular convertible model year in and year out is the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Mazda is a partner with Ford whose models can be purchased at a Ford Lancaster dealership. Vehix released a report that detailed the top convertible models and their latest features.

VW produces the Audi A5/S5 Cabriolet which made the list of the top 10 best convertibles of 2010. The model features a turbocharged 211 horsepower four cylinder engine that gets 23 miles per gallon in the city and 30 on the highway. Not bad for a 211 horsepower engine. There is also an Audi S5 Cabriolet that has an even more powerful supercharged 333 horsepower 3.0 liter V-6 engine which is Audi's performance oriented option.

There are several other models that made the list such as the 2010 BMW 3-Series convertible. The 3-series is one of the best selling luxury models in 2010. It has several of the top suspension, performance, handling, steering, and braking features. It also features the latest safety technology. There are three powertrain choices for this model: the 328iC has a 230 horsepower 3.0 liter V-6 engine and the 335iC has a 300 horsepower twin turbo 3.0 liter 6 cylinder engine. The engines feature 17 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway. And there is always the option of the 400 horsepower 4.0 liter V8 that is found on the M3 convertible.

The 2010 Infiniti G37 convertible is another great choice that is manufactured by Nissan. This model has a 328 horsepower 3.7 liter V6 engine with 16 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. The cabin and interior are decorated with some of the finest leather and materials available and the body is one of the most attractive out of all the convertible models.

Nissan To Release First Hybrid Model!



Nissan is joining the mix among electric and hybrid automakers as it will release its first hybrid model. The Infiniti M sedan, a model in Nissan's luxury line of automobiles, will make its debut late in 2010. Nissan is a Japanese automaker whose rivals include Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen. Volkswagen models can be found at a local Peoria VW dealer. Nissan models can be serviced at Richmond Quick Lane.

Nissan is late in joining follow automakers Honda and Toyota in producing a hybrid model. Both Toyota and Honda have had at least one hybrid model out for several years. Toyota and Honda models from previous years can be purchased at High Point used car dealers. Nissan is the number three automaker in Japan and the Infiniti M sedan is double the fuel efficiency of the previous Infiniti M model. The Infiniti M has a single motor system with a two-clutch system.

Toyota has a two motor hybrid system that the manufacturer uses to get optimal fuel efficiency. The Infiniti M's mileage is vastly improved and is more similar to that of a subcompact vehicle rather than a luxury sedan. Nissan's chief rear wheel drive hybrid engineer said that the best fuel efficiency comes from the fully hybrid models rather than those models which are partial hybrids. Honda has some models that are considered "mild hybrids" and get a fuel efficiency increase of up to 15 percent as opposed to 30 percent from "full hybrid" systems.

However, the Nissan engineer said that Nissan would be aiming for 60 to 90 percent fuel efficiency improvement with their hybrid engines. The extra clutch allows for the hybrid engine to dismount from the electric engine and drive on solely electric power when the car's battery is charged. The Infiniti M uses a lithium-ion battery system as opposed to nickel hydride systems that other manufacturers use. The lithium-ion system releases its energy slower than nickel hydride.
