Following Toyota’s announcement of faulty engines on some of its models, Lexus has confirmed the said statement by saying that approximately 137,000 of its vehicles in the U.S. are also “potentially affected.”

This statement was released after the carmaker found faulty valve springs in certain V8 and V6 models. According to Lexus, one possible reason would be the contamination of the said parts with foreign materials during production. No news of recall has been issued yet, although Toyota is said to have been making moves to find a solution to this new problem.

Some of the Lexus models affected by this problem are the IS 350, GS models (350, 460, and 450h), and LS models (460 and 600h L). Vehicle owners are advised to contact their nearest dealer in case they experience problems with their ride.

When it comes to cargo capacity, the 2009 Audi A4 Avant is surely one of the best luxury cars for the job. When you look at it, its hatch is massive and because of that, you can fit so many things inside of it.

Aside from the cargo that you can put in it, the 2009 Audi A4 Avant offers superb looks and great performance once you turn on the ignition key.

Mercedes Benz is one of the longest and surviving import car marques in the auto world. Here is a compilation of their models way back in 1886 to the latest:

The thing about the 2010 Subaru Outback is that it will take over 15,000 miles for it to finally get its first repair job. Not bad for something that got bad reviews the first time it was launched. Now the 2010 Subaru Outback is obviously meant for carrying loads of cargo. That said, Subaru engineers and designers enable it to bring as much as 36 boxes. That means if you seriously want an inter-state trip that would last for weeks, then this SUV is right for you.

Everyone loves Ferrari. In fact, anyone will dare to ride and drive even the oldest Ferrari because that would be a collectors’ item. That sets the difference. No one will want to do the same if it is ‘just another marquee’. What more if what you are going to ride is a prototype of this newest car from Ferrari?? What if one of the very few of this when the model gets released? Cool, wouldn’t you say?

The boars over at Top Gear probably deserved this. With the kind of humor and antics Jeremy Clarkson and his band of cohorts pull in each episode, it wasn’t long before someone makes a parody—and so they did. Hyundai does a fantastic job putting metaphors at work in their commercial entitled Top Deer. Enjoy.

Have you, even in your dreams, wished to ride and drive a gold car? Mercedes Benz has just realized your dreams!– for a value of US $9 Million! Now, are you still interested? I bet you are not.. For your information, this bumper to bumper gold Mercedes is now exported to Dubai. That is definitely where it will land, to where the gold is just another piece in the walls of their hotels!

Indulge in the gallery of this all-new, all-gold Mercedes Benz:

The 2009 Kia Borrego feels like a compact SUV than a full-sized one.  In spite of that smallness, you won’t have trouble parking it because of its backup sensors. Basically, the 2009 Kia Borrego is a superb luxury vehicle with a V8 engine that offers decent power. Though it doesn’t offer any growl, you would be treated with a plethora of audio systems that you can’t find elsewhere.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. And losing a Dodge Viper and an SRT10 Dodge Ram is really tough, especially since Dodge is now in the brink of extinction. The next time around, you may want to build a subterranean parking garage for your cars to protect them from Nature’s wrath.

These two vehicles were tossed around like salad ingredients by the tornado that hit Ohio recently. The tornado claimed seven lives. Our condolences go out to their families.

Abu Dhabi has seen the most opulent cars in this world. Why if the city has the world’s richest man or woman or family? They say money is in oil so that should explain this. Freshly registered in their roster is the white gold Mercedes Benz with the owner name’s withdrawn for security purposes. None of the same materials or configuration has been seen or at least registered in another location or country to date.
