Do you know what is hot in the world of Cars ?

I just heard that Porsche is coming up with new features where you can customize your Porsche nameplates.

The Porsche site describes, “You can now give your Porsche an exclusive personal touch. Instead of the type designation, you can have a customised text in the same font placed on your Porsche. Texts can be made for all 911 models - Cayenne - Boxster and Cayman. We can manufacture your personalised text in the same colours as the type designation, in grey or black, or ‘chrome’ or ‘gold’ if you prefer. Just imagine having your girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s name on the back instead of Carrera 2, or the name of your dog, cat or horse instead of Cayenne? No problem! Any conceivable name can be made to order…. from Laura to Larry, from Amber to Arnold, from Roxanne to Roderick…”

Aint that cool ?

The feature is available on all Porsche models - Cayenne - Boxster and Cayman. The website adds to say “We can manufacture your personalised text in the same colours as the type designation, in grey or black, or ‘chrome’ or ‘gold’ if you prefer. Just imagine having your girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s name on the back instead of Carrera 2″ !!

ummmm…now that’s one nice reason to think of owning one ;) . What say you all ?!

The new 6 seater 320 Hp, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe is due to release in market tomorrow Jan 10th. I was surfing the T.V channels and suddenly I saw this commercial about the Chevrolet Tahoe. What really caught my eye was it’s new feature : Rear Parking Assist. It uses the sensors located in the rear bumper to detect any stationary objects behind the vehicle while reversing at low speed! I thought it was cool :O! The warning system provides audio and visual warnings as you approach a rear hinderance. This feature is optional in the Tahoe LS & LT1 models.

Though you still would have to look over your shoulder while reversing the car,

More Power. Less Gas.
