Night Vision

Luxury Auto Makers BMW and Mercedes-Benz Have Been Pioneers In Ultra-Luxury Amenities Such As Mercedes Massaging Comfort Seats and Safety Innovations Such As BMW's Automatic Brake Drying Feature. New To The List Of Safety Options Is The Night Vision Driver Assistance System. The Concept Of The System Is To Provide Enhanced Vision Of The Road Ahead During Beyond The Range Of Headlights At Night. The System Uses an Infra-Red Sensor Located In The Bumper Or Grill And Displays The Image Via A Screen Located In The Instrument Cluster or Navigation System (See Images Below). A New Feature Recently Added To Night Vision Is The Pedestrian Warning System That Warns The Driver Of A Human In The Path Of Your Vehicle. Night Vision Is Available On Select Vehicles From BMW and Benz But With Great Success Should Make Its Way Into All Automobiles Alike.

G by Infiniti


Early This Year, Infiniti Released The New G37 Convertible Powered By The Sedans 328 Horsepower V6 Engine. It Now Competes Against BMW's Long Running 3-Series Convertible and Lexus New IS Convertible. However, When Will Infiniti Build A G to Compete Against The High Performance IS-F From Lexus, C63 AMG From Benz, RS4 From Audi and M3 From BMW? When The G35 Was Released in 2003, It Was Aimed Directly At The 3-Series Sedan and That Was When BMW Met Its Match. In My Opinion, Infiniti Has Given The German Automakers A Run For Its Money and To Stay In The Runnings, It Has To Build A M3, AMG, RS and F Fighter!

Active Hybrid 7


BMW Adds A New Model To Their 7-Series Roster, The Active Hybrid 7. New For 2010, The Active Hybrid 7 Competes Against The Upcoming Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid and Already Available Lexus LS600hL Luxury Hybrid Sedan. Modeled After The Petrol Powered 750i Sedan, The Hybrid 7 Is Powered By It's 4.4 Liter V8 Producing 455 Combined Horsepower and 516 Pounds Of Blistering Torque Propelling This Harpooned Whale To 60 In 4.8 Seconds. Fuel Economy Ratings Won't Be Released Until Its U.S. Debut, But Expect Them To Be 15% Better Than The 750i. Soon To Follow They Hybrid 7 Is The V-12 Petrol Powered 760i/Li, 740d (diesel) and H7 Hydrogen Powered 7.
