India will be getting a treat later on this year when Chevy decides to release it's Captiva in an automatic. Two versions will be available, including a regular gas guzzling engine and diesel. The diesel would be India's first diesel soft roader.
I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it looks hot.

Personally I don't care how you dress up a large car or a small van, Wagons are just plain ugly. However, in todays economy where gas is sky high and the price of new vehicles rivals some mortgages, they are a smart alternative to the SUV. Wagons have room for kids, groceries, and most have seats that lay down so you can haul wood, ski's, dead bodies, whatever you can image that an SUV which uses more gas could. Perhaps that's why Wagons are making a comeback on eBay.
According to eBay analysis it looks like Wagons priced from $5,000 and up are starting to be big movers. After taking the costs of a new SUV into consideration it's easy to find out why and they can be just as versatile. What do you think Soccer Mom's in the 70's used, there were no Jeep Grand Cherokee's back then.

Is the latest idea out of the big heads at BMW to target younger buyers? Surely not, at least in todays economy, do younger people really have enough money to purchase a new car...let alone a beamer? It looks like the answer to both questions is a resounding Yes and Yes. Maybe I've made some poor life choices(insert career choices), but I did not have the cash to pony up to buy a BMW when I was younger.
Getting back to when I was younger, I guess it all depends on which side of the hill you are judging age from, but the new target audience is 30-40 years old. Apparently, this is YOUNG! BMW will be marketing a new 1-Series Coupe to this age demographic and of course men will be the primary targets. The trim on this sporty sedan tells the tale of an early mid life crisis.
According to BMW the 1-Series will be available on May 20 and come with two different engine packages. The first is a naturally aspirated 3.0 V6 and the second is a Twin Turbo version of the 3.0. Whoa, that will damn near blow the depends off of grandpa. At last, men going bald at the age of 35 and making more money than you can shake a stick at will have a car made just for them.

It's sleek, sharp looking, powerful, I'm sure it will sell well to the younger crowd that can afford it.

Is it too late in the game to call these 2009 Honda Spy Photos? I mean, it's a few weeks earlier than what Honda had initially planned as an unveiling, but the world will be introduced sooner than later when it comes to this new Honda SUV. Actually, as of this posting the full details of the tiny Honda Pilot should be available at your local dealer.
Oh well, here are the shots of some 2009 Honda Pilots being unloaded off of the truck in the Detroit area, thanks to the Edmunds team of spy shooters.

It's time that Ford makes a change to their family sedan lineup and the 2010 model of the Ford Taurus is exactly what everyone has been waiting for. It looks sleek, sophisticated, and admittedly a little blurry in this spy shot. Thanks to our friends at Edmunds for coming up with another image of future Ford vehicles.

Buying Corbeau Racing Seats can make your car go from daily driver to serious business. However, just because you spring for the Corbeau Racing seat, doesn't necessarily mean you have to have to drive the wheels off of your ride. Thanks to a competitive market in the racing seat niche, it's possible to get a good deal on some quality seats and Corbeau is a leader in the industry you can trust.
What's great about Corbeau is that they offer seats with comfort and function both in mind. It's almost like getting a new car when you set back in a seat that holds on to you around corners AND is comfortable at the same time. As of this posting it's possible to pick up a set of black Corbeau Racing seats for as little as $91.00 each. From time to time you mind find a good deal on a used Corbeau Racing seat, but if you are on the fence, go ahead and spend the dough on a new set, you'll appreciate it down the road. No pun intended.

Are white wall tires making a come back this spring or are more people just fixing up old cars? Personally, I'm a fan of the fat white wall markings on old muscle cars, it just adds a nice antique look to an already beautiful car. But finding a set of white walls can be difficult to complete that winter project you have in your garage.
Thanks to the miracle of the internet I've found a few good sources for white wall tires and generally the best prices are on ebay. If you are scared about shipping, don't be. Most tires, including white walls are capable of being UPS'd, so truck lines are not necessary.
Check out the white wall tires on ebay:

It's not enough to resemble the bat mobile, the upcoming Lexus super car, the LF-A comes with a retractable wing. You can see in the pictures of the 2011 Lexus LF-A that it's all business and the ride height doesn't allow any room for error on pot holes or curbs.

What better way to show off your ride than to carry around it's emblem in your pocket everywhere you go. I prefer the minimalist approach, which means removing all but my house key and car key, that way I have room for a nice tasteful key ring or key chain.
Finding the right key chain can be hard, especially if you are an owner of an Audi, which makes their key chains in high demand, believe it or not. For those looking for the most cost effective way to find one, eBay is bar none the best source for finding an Audi key chain. Here at The-Grayline automotive blog we have discovered a number of nice looking key chains to fit any budget.
Buy an Audi Key Chain from the Grayline
or view Audi Key Chains available on eBay:
