Next Week Preview Subaru XV

2013 Honda Crv

 You were the future once,’ was a comment famously hurled at the once boyish but now grizzled Prime Minister Tony Blair by the fresh-faced young upstart leading Her Majesty’s Opposition called David Cameron - and he could just have easily been talking about the Honda CR-V.

Another throwback to the CR-V’s history is that two-wheel drive is the exception rather than the norm. Many newer rivals retain an all-wheel drive model just because of the credibility that would be lost if an off-roader was produced with literally no off-road ability. By contrast, four-wheel drive remains very much a CR-V staple and is available on all models save those fitted with the entry-level 1.6-litre diesel.

Range Rover 2013 Review

 Introducing the 2013 Range Rover
All Range Rovers will come with dual LCD screens, a wide 12.3-inch display that replaces traditional gauges, and an 8-inch touchscreen that runs infotainment systems on the center stack through a combination of soft and hard keys for functions from navigation to climate, phone, and audio. The screen's interface is cleaner and seems quicker, but it's not rendered as prettily as the LCD gauges. Leather upholstery is standard, while major options will include a panoramic sunroof; a Meridian sound system with 1,700 watts of power; surround-view cameras; cooler boxes; and a choice from among 37 exterior colors, 17 interior colors and 3 veneers.
The new Range Rover is built in the U.K., and goes on sale in the U.S. in mid-December, priced from $83,500 for normally aspirated models to about $100,000 for the Supercharged version, to more than $130,000 for Autobiography editions.
