The Psychology Behind Corporate Blogging

Something I’ve noticed changing over the last two years is how companies perceive blogs. Early on in blogging, despite the success of many great blog networks at the time, companies seemed to think that blogs were really only a tool for average people to write about their lives, and the various minutia that occurred in [...] Something I’ve noticed changing over the last two years is how companies perceive blogs. Early on in blogging, despite the success of many great blog networks at the time, companies seemed to think that blogs were really only a tool for average people to write about their lives, and the various minutia that occurred in them. Blogs at this time were creating a whole community of both Internet celebrities and Internet brands that were parlayed into huge amounts of cash through advertising systems, and sales. Corporations started, very slowly realizing how important blogs could be to their businesses, but we are still on the cusp of this realization going global.

Saleen S7 $395,000

Exotic supercars are extreme in every sense. But what to make of this claim: According to the Saleen S7 press release, its aerodynamic ground effects are so effective, and create so much down force (what holds a car to the road at high speeds), that even if you drove the S7 upside down at 160 mph on some sort of Hot Wheels roller-coaster track that exploded into real-life scale, the car wouldn't lose its contact with the road. Of course they didn't explain how they know this, and, sorry, we're not volunteering to test out the theory. Meanwhile, the S7 power plant is decidedly less outlandish than its ground effects. The motor is derived from a Ford Mustang, then deeply modified. It's made entirely of aluminum, has stainless-steel valves with titanium retainers, and a high vacuum dry sump and stainless-steel exhaust. It breathes through roof-mounted intakes and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Power output is a claimed 550 horsepower, with performance o

Mosler MT900 GTR XX

We know Mosler as a very high-performance and exotic car manufacturer. Once you belong in that group you don’t need to come up with a new model every single year. What you do is creating a facelift, new model or just some extra’s on a existing car when you are celebrating a birthday. This year is Mosler’s 20th anniversary and they present a European model listening to the name MT900 GTR XX. Only that name gives most of us a good feeling! Back in 2006 in support of the their Le Mans entry, Mosler’s German importer, Mosler Deustchland, developed a European road car based on the English built MT900 R, called the MT900 GTR.

Lotus Evora

The Eco Elise attempts to prove a sports car can be 'green'. It will go on sale in America around nine months after European distribution begins and it has been designed with some of the larger-sized US customers in mind.

Vauxhall Insignia

This new offering from Vauxhall will replace the Vectra. It is thought it will be popular with reps and this will probably become their new company car. This will definitely face stiff competition from Mondeo, the C5 and Laguna. Published by Original source : http://luxurycarsmodels.blogspot.com/2009/03/vauxh...

Ford Focus RS

Ford unveils their new hot hatch, the Focus RS. It offers the comfort of a family car with the handling and performance of a sportscar and 150mph from a 2.5litre turbo engine Published by Original source : http://luxurycarsmodels.blogspot.com/2009/03/ford-...

Nissan Versa

The Nissan Versa has made it onto more of our Top Picks lists than I can count. What can I say? The Versa is one of the best sub-compacts on the market, with more interior space than many compacts (and even a few mid-sizers) and amenities that belie its super-cheap price. As long as Nissan keeps making the Versa, I will continue to sing its praises. Read more: Nissan Versa test drive Published by Original source : http://luxurycarsmodels.blogspot.com/2009/03/nissa...

Volkswagen Rabbit

Though its not as popular in America as its betrunked sibling, the Jetta , the Rabbit (known elsewhere as the Golf) is Volkswa gen's best-selling model world-wide, and it's also one of my favorite small cars. The Rabbit's hatchback body style has lots of room for passengers and their belongings; in fact, the Rabbit actually has slightly more interior volume than the Jetta. Yet it's 13.5 inches shorter -- and that lack of extra length can make all the difference in places where street parking is tight. I'm not a big fan of the Rabbit's rather austere interior, but I love its road manners -- the Rabbit is an absolute delight to drive Published by Original source : http://luxurycarsmodels.blogspot.com/2009/03/volks...

HONDA CIVIC

If you're shopping for a mid-size family sedan, I strongly urge you to bring your spouse and kids down to your Honda dealership and try a Civic on for size. Thanks to an innovative flat floor, the Civic offers more rear seat space than most compacts, and in terms of fuel economy it's one of the best. I've always preferred mid-size sedans for family duty, but a week of living with the Civic changed my mind. Options such as a navigation system and a new-for-2008 leather interior make the Civic easier to live with than ever. And if you have a penchant for speed, the Civic Si sedan is one of my favorite small sports cars Published by Original source : http://luxurycarsmodels.blogspot.com/2009/03/honda...

BMW SERIES

Small luxury cars are a rare thing in America, but they are common in the Europe, homeland of the BMW 128i and 135i. The 1-series feels pretty much like a shrunken 3-series, with similar ameneties and trim in a smaller package that's easy to maneuver and fun to drive. The 1 is not particularly cheap, and since it's only available as a two-door (coupe or convertible) it's not the best choice for people with kids -- but it's a great option for singles and couples who want BMW cachet with a smaller footprin Published by Original source : http://luxurycarsmodels.blogspot.com/2009/03/bmw-s...

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S

It’s a sporty upgrade to the existing Quattroporte. The new Quattroporte Sport GT S is 10mm lower at the front, 25 mm lower at the rear, and comes equipped with stiffer springs and dampers than the standard car. There are a few upgrades, including the black-chrome mesh front grille, black side window trim and exhausts, and body colored door handles.

Lexus LS 600h

It has been already considered as the most expensive production hybrid vehicles ever with the lately announced US price of $104,000. Considering the exchange rates, the Lexus LS 600h is going to hit the UK showrooms this fall for $164,000 . The flagship model mates a 5.0L full hybrid V-8 powertrain with the latest version of Toyota’s hybrid system and all-wheel drive.
