Nissan came out with its domestic improved version of the JDM NISMO 370Z proceeding the release in the USA. In discussions of this amazing sport ride, the two models offer the same features. On one hand, the U.S. model has a 332 horsepower engine and it is offered only on a 6-speed manual gearbox. On the other hand, the Japanese version comes with a factory-tuned 350 horsepower engine and the option for a 7-speed automatic transmission. Also, the NISMO version includes better upgrades like a stiffer suspension, a more aerodynamic outside stying, and racing brake system. I believe the fact that the JDM NISMO edition would be a great acquisition for most sport car fanatics and it would be a perfect scenario for going turbo.
Also, the new Civic Type R Mugen concept has created a lot of buzz in the automotive industry after some photos were released along with a teaser video. A number of car experts believe this is not just a "concept car". Instead, they believe this "hot Civic" is very close to production. Not only did Honda confirmed the release of the concept Civic, but also mentioned the Civic is being tuned by Mugen Euro, which is Honda official tuning arm. As the Vice President of MUGEN EURO, Hiro Toyoda, puts it, "It is a fantastic base model which we hope to develop one of the quickest point to point front-wheel-drive road cars in the country." I celebrate the fact that Honda is finally trying to improve the front-wheel drive's performance since it needs it badly. This new modified version of the Type R will have 240 horsepower, however, some object that the new Civic still will not be that fast compared to its competitors like the STI and EVO. Although, I concede that this new Civic could be pretty quick, I believe Honda could have upgraded it to over 300hp. This would definitely be a huge release if this concept Civic goes to production since it offers a huge amount of internal and external upgrades.
On the other hand, due to environmental concerns, Tengzhong, a manufacturer of heavy machinery equipment, would not be given permission to buy the Hummer company. However, Tengzhong is still attempting to get the deal since the Chinese government regulatory body is not the issue. In discussions of Tengzhong buying Hummer, a controversial issue is whether these heavy duty trucks would be a hazardous to the environment. While some argue that it would create more harm to nature and its bonded areas, others contend that this has a good business potential. I believe this would be a great investment for this Chinese manufacturer and that way they could rescue Hummer from its financial struggles.

I'm a big fan of cars too, especially sports cars. When the "new" 350Zs came out, I was in love. But.. I have since fallen out of it, most likely due to the over-popularity of the car. The 370Z is a nice looking car as well, but on the outside nearly identical to the old 350. I'm looking forward to whether Nissan will bring back the 280 or some updated version of it.
The Civic looks decent, but I've never been a fan of hatchback cars either, and I don't know why. I had a 95 Civic 2-door for a few years and it was a solid, dependable car (even driven by a 19-year-old), but nothing about the car was impressive.
I won't even get started on Hummers, I'm sure everyone has heard the "driving a big car to compensate for something not-so-big" comment many times before.
Nice blog though, anyway you could do a write up of the new Camaro thats coming out next year, or any supercars like Aston Martins or Ferraris? Keep up the good work,
