Author: What are some of the cool new cars for 2010? Here’s a description of the 5 coolest cars to come out in the upcoming year.
Any list of cool new cars would have to start would have to start with the 2010 Ferrari California. This car is a little different from the other high performance vehicles in the Ferrari stable. The common man will find this car much more approachable. But that doesn’t detract from any of the Ferrari features. It still has plenty of speed and looks great.
On the other hand, if you are wanting a family oriented car, take a look at the Audi A-5 Sportback. It looks a like like the BMW 5 series. It has a 180 horsepower 2.0 liter turbocharged 1-4 engine. Also, it has a seven speed dual clutch transmission.
The 2010 Kia Forte is the third car on our list. This model replaces the Spectra in the competitive compact sedan market. The Forte is more dynamic looking than the Spectra featuring a distinct wedge shaped profile and a wider stance. One feature worth mentioning is the Forte has a huge trunk – 14.7 cubic feet which can be further exteded by lowering the split-folding rear seats. You can choose between cloth or leather seats in the nicely appointed cabin. You will also find a user friendly center stack, steering wheel mounted controls, standard Sirius radio, and Bluetooth.
The 2010 Suburu Outback is a more sports utility vehicle than wagon than ever before. That’s because the Suburu designers were given free range to design the vehicle which has more changes than any update in the Outback’s 15 year history. As a result, it has a nice looking unique body shell.
Finally, no list of 2010 cool new cars would be complete without a hybrid. The third generation Toyota Prius starts at $22,000 and gets 51 miles per gallon. Toyota is billing it as “harmony between man, nature, and machine.” And, the styling is awesome!
The Hero Honda Karizma Fi is one bike that is set to rule the high end Indian bike market. Hero Honda is the biggest Indian bike manufacturer and there is no doubt that their flagship model Karizma needs an upgrade to Fi engine. College guys have improved their student status, high end bikers have relished it revving to high RPMs and office commuters have enjoyed its smooth engine for long rides.
Karizma is a great bike, I have been riding it for several years. I have used it on long roads and also city traffic. The new Karizma Fi will be a performance uplift for the hard earned brand. Hero Honda would have paid a huge sum to its brand ambassador whom we see often in the ads.
Fi engine has been featured lately in bikes such as Pulsar 220, Apache RTR and Glamour. Eventhough the engine capacity is the same, the ignition and fuel flow makes a difference. This technology gives better pickup and more mileage because the fuel is burned effectively without any wastage.
If you are planning to buy Pulsar 220 or the Yamaha R15, you may want to wait for the Karizma Fi 223cc bike to show up in the markets. Visit your local city showroom or subscribe to one of the bike news blogs to stay informed about the launch. Go and grab a test drive as soon as it shows up. I guarantee that Hero Honda will not disappoint you with the Karizma Fi, they definitely cannot sit and watch the sales figures hit the roof tops for Yamaha and Bajaj.
