2013 Land Rover Range Rover

This December the new 2013 Range Rover will be out and with some improvements. It will be much lighter than the old Range Rover, and also will have much better fuel economy. The Range Rover should be 926 pounds lighter! "How?" you may ask, well this lighter weight has a lot to do with the new all aluminum chassis.

 

For those Ranger Rover owners who want to go 'Green' should be proud: 75% of the aluminum is recycled. The vehicle's bodyside is pressed in a single panel to reduce the amount of joints which means improved body integrity. This new body is so aerodynamic that it improves air flow by 10%.

 

You will get a standard eight speed automatic with your choice of either a 375-hp 5.0 liter V-8 or a 510-hp supercharged unit in the higher trim level. 0-60 time is pretty impressive coming in at 6.5 and 5.1 on the supercharged. So guys you know what that means, you need the supercharged ones just so you can keep up with the other big boys out there.

 

New system adds a Park Assist ability, which means you don't ever have to parallel park the car again! There are other luxury features on this car, like the rear where you get an extra 4.7' compared to the old Range Rover. 29 that is how many speakers you will get in this car, with that you also get a surround camera system so you'll always know what is around you. 

 

 The British still retained the Range Rovers main use; rock climbing. A new redesigned air suspension and an intelligent four wheel drive system will get you around anything. The four wheel drive system with all for a 50/50 torque split.

 

 Some figures for this master piece. The standard HSE around $60,045 and the Supercharged $75,654.

Now that may sound like a lot of money, but compared to other cars which these features this is a really good deal, if you ask me.

2013 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

Does your wife always nag at you to get the groceries quick? Well here is your perfect excuse to get a new car, and a pretty fast one also I must say.  The new 2013 ML63 AMG is still your typical family SUV but with just twin-turbos and some boost under the hood. The ML is a heavy groceries-getter weighing in at two and a half tons. This beast has a 5.5 liter V-8 with 14.5 psi of boost pushing 518 horses, meaning you will hit that 60 in about 4.8 seconds. Once you select the AMG Performance package, your  boost goes up to 18.9 psi, with 550 horses hitting that 60 will be even quicker in about 4.5 seconds. Your top speed is governed at 155 mph even with the Performance package. So you guys know what this means right...? Off the line you will be head to head with the, BMW X5 M (4.5 sec), Porsche Cayenne Turbo (4.4 sec), Land Rover Supercharged (5.6 sec). The ML now has active anti-roll bars, cornering almost feels like the X5 M which is a good thing. This ML isn't going to be going on some crazy trails or going up a snowy mountain road with its stock tires. But once you change the tires you're going to change the whole character of the car together with handling. So what I'm trying to say is just keep it the way it is. The inside of the ML is like walking into a designer store. The insides are wrapped in a very high-end grade leather. You will be rolling pretty deep with the stock 21-inch wheels, and nice chrome exhaust tips. So now your probably wondering what is all this going to cost you? Its going to set you back a nice $95,865 base, but with just a few lovely upgrades your looking at six figures already, about $112,805.
