The BMW 1 Series

Introducing BMW's newly released 1 Series, also known as "the new look of fast". I love the styling of the exterior, the headlights and hood are very nostalgic of the three series, the tail lights being less so. The 135i has the same engine as the 335i for about 5K less, thats a bang for your buck If I've ever seen one. One of my favorite interior features is the extremely accessible iPod input built into the console, although that was one of the few interior photos to observe on the BMW website. For a turbocharged 300 horsepower rocket for less than 35K, BMW had me at hello. The convertible has me even more excited, add 5k to the price tag and you've got fun in the sun for years to come. I can't wait to test drive it.

The Porsche Cayenne GTS

Porsche's newly released Cayenne GTS is a comfortable middle step between the Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo, clocking in with 405 Horsepower, 95 less than the Turbo and 2o more than the turbo. Its hard to tell what target market Porsche was going for with this mid-ranged model. With the price tag being 12k higher than the S, its hardly worth the twenty horsepower and the 4 tenths of a second quicker to sixty. The Porsche website's Model Advisor helps you select which model is right for your needs, I've seen nothing like it on any competitors websites. The Cayenne combines two passions, family and motor sport, bravo Porsche.
