BMW's 7-Series receives lots of hatred this year, J.D. Power gives it a below average score for performance, it also gets rock-bottom resale value from ALG and the consumer reports are saying it is "a ponderous, technology-laden vehicle with ungainly handling". (Forbes 2015)
So if you are looking in the 100K range for some new german technology, now you know what not to get.

Kardashian's Dad Puts Children's Life In danger
Today we have learned that not only is Bruce Jenner receiving a sex change but he should also be re-applying for his driver's license. The Kardashian family's step father, husband to Kris Jenner, has reportedly crashed his blacked out Hummer H2 into a smaller white car on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu a couple of weeks ago. In the car was Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, North West, Khloe Kardashian and obviously Bruce driving. Luckily everyone was ok, but a close call to say the least.
707HP Dodge Challenger Hellcat
Now obviously, we have to have a post of some new, modern day, American muscle. The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is going to be the topic of discussion. As a new year has begun, Dodge, Chevrolet, and Ford are at it again in the bull pen although for the first time ever, it is Dodge's turn to hold the podium for this year's most powerful american car. The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat is boasting a 6.2L Supercharged V8 that makes 707 Horsepower! Can you believe it? I know it is insane. 0-60 MPH in 3.6 seconds in automatic and the manual is still a 3 second car and can do it in 3.9 seconds. This machine holds a top speed of 199 MPH and is retailing for an affordable price of $65,900 USD. The Hellcat's are now available but will be hard to attain for the next little while as all pre-orders from months ago are still being filled. If you are looking for the ultimate machine of 2015 you should probably go and get yours now. Oh and by the way, if you can't afford new tires every other week you probably should not get one!
A nice video below showing what the Hellcat is really designed for... Burning out!

The All New Mercedes-Benz GT AMG - Amazing, Period.
As you have seen within the past several years, Mercedes-Benz, has been on a rampage with making new, super exciting cars that are really separating themselves from competitors such as Audi and BMW etc. You remember the Mclaren, now we have the SLS, and now for 2016 Mercedes has announced the Mercedes-Benz GT AMG. The GT is going to be boasting a 4.0L, twin turbo, V8, the same engine that is going to be shared with the next generation C63. Now compared to past cars such as the SLS and Mclaren, this engine does not sound very extreme although the performance attributes will. Projections are saying that this car will actually hold its own on a track against Porsche 911's. Its weight, handling, braking power have all improved giving it a substantial upgrade in general. So sit back and relax and in a few months you will be able to pre-order one at your local dealer.

The Future Holds Greatness With The 2017 Raptor
Recently, The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor debuted at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Now for pick-up truck enthusiasts, this is quite a big deal. When the original Ford Raptor hit the market in 2010, it hit very hard. With its exciting design and amazing off-road features it has been selling great over the past 5 years. Now, we have the 2017 Raptor in our sights with a complete overhaul on the design and it's new body made of aluminum reduces its weight by over 500 pounds! This is great as it actually enhances gas mileage getting the truck to around 16 MPG, still not very exciting but better than before.
The video below is of it's release at the Detroit Auto Show.
