2011 Audi A8 Preview

November 30, 2009Joseph LaMuraglia

I am in Miami as a guest of Audi to witness the reveal of the new 2011 Audi A8. Audi chose Miami to reveal their new flagship in part as the kick off of the Art Basel show – self described as the most important art show in the U.S. We learned very little about the new car other than some top line specs: The new A8 will come to market with either of two engines, a 4.2L V8 with 372 hp and a 4.2L V8 TDI with 350 HP They will be followed by a 3.0L V6 TDI with 250 HP.

VW Owner Welcome

November 24, 2009Joseph LaMuraglia

My brother owns a 2009 VW Jetta TDI. As a owner, he gets a subscription to VW’s magazine DasAuto. I intercepted it the other day for some good bathro…I mean, downtime reading material. Owner’s magazines are nothing new and DasAuto magazine has the usual product propaganda and branded trinkets to buy. But I also found some really useful information that VW is offering to their owners – the most interesting being their online instruction manual for new VW owners. [...]

2010 Nissan Sedans – Nip/Tuck on Wheels

November 3, 2009Joseph LaMuraglia

Nick Kurczewski went to Nashville on our behalf to check out the updates to the Nissan sedan lineup. He found some new technology, minor nips/tucks and some bad fake wood. We chatted about the updates and came to terms with the fact that Nissan is following the old adage of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. [...]
