Toyota Prius - News

Recalibrating the Toyota Prius - News.

 In terms of ingress/egress, driver comfort and even the ability “to sit behind one’s self,” my particular ordering is Prius, Leaf and Volt.  A Full Disclosure here: As many readers know, I’m bigger than the average bear, have a disproportionately long torso and a less than agile back as well. Also, curiously, the driver seat has a height adjustment missing in the passenger seat of a Prius. As a front seat passenger, I have equal head room in Prius and Leaf. No contest, though, in the rear seat. I find the Volt’s head room interference back there to be well nigh claustrophobic.
 All three are 5-door hatchbacks, a layout that I find very useful. Indeed, if I owned any of them, I’d likely fold the rear seats except when needed.
 The contrast of performance among the three is strong. In its initial “charge depletion” mode, the Volt behaves like a pure electric.  As such, it’s the quickest of the trio. Once in “charge sustaining” mode, its engine is relatively unobtrusive. This plug-in series hybrid is good, sound, innovative technology.
 The Leaf’s performance isn’t far behind, and indeed I find it the sportiest of the trio. Alas, its inherent pure EV range makes it unsuitable for some missions, namely the San Francisco portion of my adventure.
Toyota drivers know how to spread the style around better than most. But that’s what is so great about this brand: each model seems to invite a personal flavor thrown into the mix. But the interior can’t be neglected when making custom changes. More so perhaps than any other area of your vehicle, the inside is what needs your touch. After all, it’s where you spend most of your time! Toyota Wood Grain never disappoints. CARiD.com carries a complete selection of Toyota Wood Grain Dash Kits perfect for adding a brushstroke of class to your ride. Choose from a wide variety of finishes including OEM Factory Woods, Real Wood Veneers, Synthetic Woods, Real Carbon Fiber, and Aluminum or Chrome. It doesn’t matter what affect you’re going for, we’ve got you covered. Deliver a delicate taste of luxury or hook up with some racing attitude – it doesn’t matter. Your vehicle, your expression. We’ll just help you get there, and with the highest quality available.
 We don’t skimp on the details. At CARiD.com, we only work with top names such as Sherwood™, B&I, and WOW Trim when it comes to our line of Toyota Wood Dash Kits. The authentic quality everyone depends on is alive and well right here and we give you a Lifetime Warranty to prove it.

We’ll also give you the best value possible. At CARiD.com, your Toyota always takes the winner’s circle!

Ford Grill Guard.

One electric vehicle on the market that has been frequently overlooked was also the first: the Ford Transit Connect electric van. That was probably because it only came as a cargo van, with only two front seats. Well, that’s about to change.
Ahead of the LA Auto Show, Azure Dynamics, the company that converts the standard Transit Connect to battery power for Ford, announced it will build a new five-passenger version of the van, complete with rear side windows.
Like the cargo version, the passenger Transit Connect will be aimed at commercial customers. But that doesn’t mean that ordinary consumers looking for a larger electric car than the Nissan Leaf couldn’t buy one.
Ford is known throughout the industry for building all-American machines that can take a beating and still come out of it looking pretty. But there’s one exception: leaving the front-end vulnerable is not always a great idea, especially when you take pride in your investment. There’s just too much out there than can cause harm. That’s why Ford Grille Guards at CARiD are so important. With a Ford Grill Guard, your vehicle has its own personal protection locked on in the front for more driving confidence than ever before. A Ford Grill Guard allows you to travel wherever and whenever in all weather conditions without having to worry about those little “mishaps” that turn into big problems. Plus, the bold touch of style doesn’t hurt, either!
Here at CARiD.com, we know Ford Grille Guards are always a hot item. We stock our selection with big-time names such as Westin®, Romik®, and Black Horse® for you to choose from. The difference between us and everybody else? Our everyday low prices! We keep the cost down so you can get your hands on superior Stainless Steel defense without breaking the bank. Your new Ford Grill Guard also comes with easy instructions and all necessary mounting hardware for a DIY installation. Give your Ford a “facemask” you can be proud of. You won’t regret it.

2013 Honda Fit

A few months back, we told you that Honda had a redesigned CR-V in the works for 2012. Now, the automaker announced that the new affordable compact SUV is set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Joining the 2012 CR-V is an all-electric version of the Honda Fit, which is slated for the 2013 model year.
The introduction of the Fit EV will likely help Honda establish its stake in the electric vehicle market, which currently includes cars like the Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi i and the upcoming Chevrolet Spark EV. “Borrowing heavily from the look of the internal-combustion Fit, the EV concept featured a high-density coaxial motor and a lithium-ion battery park,” writes Edmunds. “The concept has a top speed of 90 mph and has 70-100 miles of driving range per charge.”

Test Drive: 2011 Jeep Patriot.

I’m expecting my first child, so a surefire way to pique my interest is to have me test any car that’s remotely family-friendly. So it wasn’t as a spec-happy car reviewer that I evaluated the

Jeep Patriot press loaner I had last week. It was as a mom-to-be who’s actually in the market for a family car.

The Patriot makes a strong case for itself as a baby-mobile. It’s an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for 2011. The four-wheel drive model with an automatic transmission that I tested gets an EPA-estimated 21/26 mpg – not bad for something that can handle light off-roading. The Patriot’s classic Jeep-ish styling also appealed to me. It stands out in a sea of soft and round crossovers. Then there’s the price: starting at $15,995, the Patriot won’t bust family budgets. My test car stickered at $25,147, but had a lot of features, including four-wheel drive, Bluetooth, iPod interface, heated front seats and satellite radio.
I also liked the way the Jeep Patriot drives. Unlike a lot of SUVs that can head off-road, it was comfortable and smooth around town, but had just enough roughness to remind you that yeah, you’re in a Jeep. Even though it doesn’t handle as well as other crossovers do, that touch of truck made it fun to drive. It felt rugged, but not uncomfortable. Its small size and trail-ready turning radius made it perfect for tight parking lots.
Style inside and out is what Patriot drivers are attracted to and CARiD.com has them covered. We feature a full line of Jeep Patriot Grain guaranteed to brighten up your interior in a big way. Choose from our dazzling array of Real Woods, Real Carbon Fiber, Aluminum, Chrome, and your exact OEM Factory-Match Wood. Installing your new Jeep Patriot Grain is as simple as it gets. Just follow the included schematic for a quick “stick on” installation that provides a concise factory-fit. You never have to worry about the quality. At CARiD.com, we know the deal. That’s why we look to expert designers such as B&I, Sherwood®, and WOW Trim to do the job right. You even get a Lifetime Warranty to prove it! If a stylish, more personal cockpit is what has you scanning the globe, call off the search: your Jeep Wood Dash is waiting right here…

Ford Fiesta ST.

Ford Motor Company has a long history of building successful hot hatchbacks. Soon to join the ranks of such icons like the Cosworth Escort and Focus RS could be the next hot-rod Fiesta, the ST. Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Ford Fiesta ST Concept hits at the upcoming line of high performance small cars to come out of the blue oval. “The Fiesta has a rich history of high-performance models so a new ST performance model is a logical next step in our performance vehicle strategy for our global small cars,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development.
Under the hood of the concept is the 1.6 liter version of Ford’s EcoBoost turbocharged inline four cylinder. Using variable cam timing, direct injection and a single turbocharger, the ST makes a stout 178 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Matched to a six speed manual transmission and front wheel drive, 62 mph can be achieved in less than seven seconds. In a straight line, the Fiesta ST will officially be a hot hatch.

On the outside, the ST looks the part as the body lines have been tweaked and sculpted. New is the large, “trapezoidal” grille with a honeycomb mesh finish. The rear bumper features a functional diffuser with dual exhaust and everything is lower than the standard Fiesta. 17 inch wheels round out the ST, which manages to pay homage to both its rally car cousin, the Fiesta WRC, and its big brother, the Focus ST.
“The Fiesta ST Concept shows in the most dramatic way possible that the qualities that define an ST are not limited to one model. The potential for delivering the ST experience to an even wider audience are laid bare by this striking new concept,” said Jost Capito, Ford’s director of Global Performance Vehicles. Ford Fiesta ST: One Hot Hatch.
Every driver aims to enjoy a high speed ride. One driver focuses on top fashion tuning aspects, while another focuses on the latest technical innovations to improve the drive. CARiD.com. covers a wide range of needs for different drivers. Ford Fiesta Accessories list at CARiD includes spoilers, floor mats, wheels, steering wheels, grilles, air filters, dash kits, chrome trim, Ford rain guards and so much more.

2011 Hyundai Elantra.

When Hyundai debuted the swoopy new 2011 Elantra, we were told that a hatchback-shaped Touring model would be coming down the pipeline, and since the last-generation model was nearly identical to the then-current i30 sold overseas, it would only make sense that this new five-door will make its way Stateside at some point (albeit with the necessary Europe-to-America adjustments). And might we say, she's quite unique looking, with a distinct bow-element grille and mirroring lower fascia.
Mum's the word on what sort of powertrains lie under the hood, and we'd really like to see what that rear hatch looks like, but we'll have those details within the next couple of days, as Hyundai is set to debut the all-new i30 at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week. We're confident it'll fit right in with the plethora of diesel-powered hatches that fill the streets of Europe, and we're eager to see if it shows up Stateside.
Hyundai Grills bring up the entire picture with an infusion of contemporary luxury and personal style. There is always an element of surprise when drivers add modifications to their rides. And you can tell a lot about a person by the changes they've made to their car. So what do you want your vehicle to say about you? If you're anything like most Hyundai drivers, you want a crack at exploding some luxurious excitement to the front. That means using our selection of Hyundai Grills to get you there! Take a glance at our entire closet of Stainless Steel or Chrome Billet Grills and Mesh Grills that more than add a little flavor – they add a whole new platform of elegant or racing-inspired attention that truly says "custom!"
CARiD.com makes sure we have you covered with the top-flight quality you deserve. E&G Classics®, SES Trims, and more are available for you to take a swing at. We carry a full line of Hyundai Grills made just for your model, so don't be shy. You can trust our selection. You can trust our prices. Consider CARiD.com your "One Stop" for all Hyundai Grills and accessories!

2012 Hyundai Sonata.

To understand just how far Hyundai has come in the past few years, look no further than the Sonata. The smartly styled sedan has earned attention and praise with fantastic efficiency and reliability, but we shouldn't forget that the last generation Sonata was a big step forward as well.
More important than critical success, Sonata has been winning over buyers as well. In fact, one million units of Hyundai's top-selling sedan have now been produced at its Alabama manufacturing facility. Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama plant celebrated the milestone with a small ceremony last Friday, a 2012 limited edition Sonata turbo with a radiant silver paint finish taking the millionth car honors.

2011 Smart.

First Drive: 2011 Smart ForTwo Electric Drive makes a lot of sense for a few people. As a population, the way we approach transportation hasn't changed significantly since the aircraft first fluttered onto the scene way back in 1903. In over 100 years, we've simply been refining the recipe we know the best instead of coming up with a new brew all together. Doing so has inextricably tied our civilization to the internal combustion engine, complete with all of its pitfalls. While we've more or less known that roping ourselves to oil is neither sustainable nor responsible since the early '70s, it wasn't until gas prices went haywire that the American population realized just how dependent it was on the black stuff.
Conveniently, with those astronomical figures at the pump came the plucky little Smart ForTwo, a car that symbolized what could be accomplished if a driver were willing to sacrifice everything for a low-cost, high-efficiency vehicle. With fuel prices hovering above $4.00 per gallon, sales exploded for a short time, and news outlets around the country heralded Smart as the face of the future for U.S. transportation. But it wasn't long before gas prices crawled back down, and Smart sales went catatonic just as quickly as they took off.
Now the company has jumped into the race to be one of the first to bring a completely viable electric vehicle to market with the 2011 Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. It's a move that just might alter the transportation landscape for good – not just in the U.S,, but around the globe.
A Smart HID kit means you don't have to stress. From now on, the road in front of you appears as if there is a bold, bright spotlight on it to guide you through your travels. And of course, the look is more than worth it! Smart Xenon lights at CARiD.com give your ride the kind of advantage you deserve. Smart Xenon lights shine with up to five times more power than regular halogen bulbs and last even longer. You can even sport a custom, colorful glow with choices like Yellow Blaze, White Diamond, Factory Skyline, and Infinite Blue. This is the nighttime upgrade that always gets noticed!
Each Smart HID kit at CARiD.com can be counted on for premier quality. We look to expert manufacturers such as Notto® SE to make sure of it. Plus, you don't have to worry about some drawn out installation. Your Smart HID kit comes complete with 2 digital ballasts, 2 bulbs, a relay harness, and easy-to-follow instructions. Replace your OEM bulbs with technology and style that delivers. Your Smart car deserves the very best!

Dodge Charger SRT8 is Back.

The Dodge Charger SRT8 is back.
Scheduled to go on sale later this year, the 2012 Charger SRT8 adopts the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 that first debuted in the Challenger SRT8 392, here making an estimated 465 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers are 5 down from the Challenger in each category, but, uh, who cares? The previous Charger SRT8 had “just” 425 hp and 420 lb-ft from its 6.1-liter V-8.
The new Hemi’s intake features active air flaps that vary the ram length based on engine speed, and new variable cam timing increases the duration of the intake-valve opening with the goal of stuffing more air in the cylinder. Fuel economy, for what it’s worth, will be improved over that of the outgoing engine, although no figures have been revealed yet.
We clocked the old SRT8 from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, and that’s about where Chrysler pegs this new car’s abilities (in addition to a stated top speed of 175 mph). But we think it will be a little quicker than that: We estimate the car will cover a 0-to-60-mph sprint in 4.6 seconds, reach 100 mph in 11.0 seconds, and blast through the quarter-mile in 13 flat. Not bad for a four-door sedan that should weigh somewhere around 4350 pounds.

The rest of the SRT8 story may not be as mouth-watering as the engine, but it’s still pretty juicy. The five-speed automatic carries over from the last car, but this time it’s equipped with steering-wheel-mounted paddles to augment the side-to-side manumatic function of the gear selector.
The chassis has received plenty of attention, too, with a new pump for the hydraulic steering that Dodge says increases feel, as well as a standard two-mode adaptive suspension. The suspension interprets data such as steering angle and speed, vehicle speed, throttle position, and lateral acceleration to automatically vary shock stiffness. Besides the automatic setting, the driver can also select a Sport mode. Deceleration is handled by four-piston Brembo calipers, squeezing 14.2-inch front and 13.8-inch rear rotors. The brakes also incorporate a collision-anticipation function that tucks the pads snug against the rotors in anticipation of hot car-on-car (or car-on-object) action. A new underbody shield integrates brake ducting to mitigate brake fade.
Owning the night is easier than ever thanks to CARiD.Com’s selection of top-quality Dodge Projector Headlights! Dodge models have a tendency to get noticed. They are built for toughness, performance, and style. Everybody recognizes one when they see it. But no driver wants to be anonymous just because it’s nightfall. With a pair of Dodge Projector Headlights, that is never a concern. Dodge Halo Headlights offer a stronger beam that disperses light further in front of your vehicle. The distinctive glow of Angel Eyes adds a burst of custom flavor that is flashy and fashionable! Our lineup of Dodge Headlights comes from the finest designers to ensure the precise OEM fit you rely on. Each pair of Dodge Headlights also comes preassembled and ready for immediate installation.
Dodge Headlights come in all sorts of flavors at CARiD and our inventory backs it up. From Dodge Halo Headlights to Dodge Euro Headlights, we don’t pull any punches. Take your pick from styles such as Crystal Clear, Clear Smoke, JDM Black, Blue Projector, Bermuda Black, and much more. Every pair of Dodge Projector Headlights we offer are DOT approved for the increased level of safety they provide. Ride off into the sunset with a distinctive brand of radiance that sets your ride apart.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK.

Officially Official: 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK. The thing about innovation is that to follow up, you tend to need another dose of innovation to keep people interested. Case in point: Mercedes-Benz having shoes to fill with its little SLK. The original was one of the first cars on the market with a modern retractable hardtop, taking after its costlier forebearer, the SL. And fourteen years later, with nearly everyone fitting folding tin roofs to their convertibles, the Stuttgart has launched the third-generation model with Magic Sky Control.
The innovative roof, as we've reported in the build-up to its release, adjusts the tinting of the glass panels automatically. It's an option, and buyers can still get a solid metal folding roof or a fixed-tint glass one if the electronic trickery is too much. Naturally, though, that's not all that's new about the new SLK.
The latest compact roadster from Stuttgart sits on a new platform with new styling. Whereas the outgoing model aped the SLR with its Formula One-style nose, the new SLK takes its cues from the SLS AMG with its more upright grille. The new shape is also more aerodynamic, and Mercedes has incorporated a new transparent panel between the rear roll hoops that tilts to optimize airflow and keep turbulence in the cabin to a minimum.
The SLK will launch in the North American market in SLK350 guise, packing a 3.5-liter V6 good for 302 horsepower and a 5.4-second sprint to 60 mph. The 1.8-liter, four-cylinder, 201hp SLK250 will follow, as is expected the naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V8 SLK55 AMG. The new SLK gets its official launch later this month at the head office in Stuttgart in celebration of the company's 125th anniversary, with its public debut slated for the Geneva Motor Show in March. Follow the jump for a video and full press release, but be sure to check out the high-resolution photos in the gallery below.
If you're looking to add a whole new dimension to your exterior, Body Kits at CARiD are the answer! We'll help you find a Body Kit that turns your "everyday" vehicle into a customized ride that leaves a lasting impression. All of our
Mercedes Body Kits come from top-name designers who've been in the game for years, giving us an advantage in quality no one can compete with.

Dodge Charger Mopar Edition.

Dodge has revealed a special edition of Charger, just before the car’s official debut at the New York Auto Show. Dodge Charger Mopar Edition will be limited to just 1000 units and the price starts at $39 750.
Dodge Charger Mopar Edition is powered by a 5.7 liter HEMI V8 with 375PS (276 kW) and 535Nm (395 lb-ft). The engine is mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox and the acceleration is pretty good – 0 to 60 mph in around 5 seconds.
Charger Mopar Edition has black exterior finish with an aggressive blue stripes over the hood and roof. The unique appearance is completed by a set of enormous 20” alloy wheels in dimensions 8J x 20” fitted with 245/45 ZR20 Goodyear F1 Supercar tires.
The interior boasts Katzkin leather seats, metallic trim and a strange shifter. There are also alloy pedals, Mopar floor mats and an individually-numbered plaque.
The suspension is also revised. It features bigger stabilizer bars (30 mm at the front and 20mm at the rear) and strut tower braces.
Last, but not least, Mopar installed a high performance braking system with enormous calipers and discs behind the 20” wheels.
Customers who purchase a Mopar ‘11 Charger will receive a personalized owner kit in a customized Mopar ‘11 box. The kit will include a certificate with the vehicle identification number (VIN), exact date of manufacture and the number of the vehicle. The kit will also include a brochure that highlights the unique features of the vehicle, exclusive Mopar ‘11 merchandise.
“The Mopar ‘11 Charger takes the ‘head- turning’ factor up a few notches,” commented Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group’s service, parts and customer-care brand.
“By adding some of the most distinctive accessories to an already strong performer, we’ve created a special-edition car for enthusiasts.”, he added.

Dodge Charger Tail Lights

Earlier this week, Dodge promised to unveil a high-performance model at the Chicago Auto Show. Today, the attending media witnessed the launch of not only the 2012 Charger SRT8 but also the R/T variants of the Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan, Journey and Challenger.
Available with RWD or AWD, the 2011 Dodge Charger R/T is motivated by a 5.7-litre HEMI V8 producing 370 horsepower. Accelerations from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) are completed in under 6 seconds. Meanwhile, the 2011 Dodge Durango R/T's HEMI engine is rated at 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. The suspension and exhaust system have both been revised. Twenty-inch wheels, a body kit, seven suede seats and a 10-speaker, 506-watt sound system are part of the mix, too. And let's not forget the newly-available and exclusive Redline Red exterior paint colour.
Last week, we reported a story about the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T, so we invite you to read it for all the specs and prices. Basically, the vehicle receives cosmetic upgrades, a sport suspension and additional features.
Next in line is the 2011 Dodge Journey R/T, which mainly benefits from visual enhancements such as black and red fabric seats, red stitching on the steering wheel and shifter as well as trizone climate control and 19-inch alloys.
Last but not least is the 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T whose 5.7L HEMI develops 376 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.
Obviously, the show-stopper at the Dodge stand in Chicago is the 2012 Charger SRT8, which is expected to go on sale later this year. The old 6.1L HEMI beefed up to 6.4 litres, resulting in an estimated output of 465 horsepower and a torque rating of 465 lb-ft.
If you want your ride to flash with a unique, fiery touch, Dodge Custom Tail Lights are an easy answer. Dodge Custom Taillights present a simple and safe installation – just “plug & play!” And since all of our Dodge Custom Taillights come from premier manufacturers, you can count on ultra-durable components as well as a precise OEM fit that goes in smoothly.

Dodge Charger Light Covers.

In a stroke of genius, Chrysler picked San Francisco for the introduction of the revamped
2011 Dodge Charger. This city is for winners. Has been since, well, November 1 when the San Francisco Giants, the major league baseball team known for stellar pitching but questionable hitting, won their first World Series title since 1954.
Some of this vibe is bound to rub off on the 2011 Dodge Charger — or perhaps get spilled on it if we park too close to some Giants fans. But you don't need to be in some altered state to appreciate the changes Dodge has made to its big, rear-wheel-drive sedan for 2011. Most obvious is the new sheet metal, which is more faithful to the revered 1968-'70 Dodge Chargers without making the car look too old to cop an attitude. Indeed, the new front fascia is just as scary as Giants' closer Brian Wilson's beard.
Dig deeper into the 2011 Dodge Charger and you'll note that the carmaker has bulldozed the 2010 car's plasticky interior, retuned the suspension and swapped out the wheezy, old V6 engines for a new 3.6-liter Pentastar motor.
While the engineers were busy, the accountants found room to cut the price. You can have a Pentastar V6-equipped 2011 Dodge Charger SE for $25,995 — $200 less than a 2010 Charger with the 3.5-liter V6. Better yet, Dodge has lopped a full $2 grand off the base price of the V8-equipped Charger R/T ($30,995)

Mercury Montego Accessories.

The Mercury Montego sedan offers full-size sedan comfort, a high stance, and remarkably good handling for a pleasant driving experience. This sedan, like its twin the Ford Five Hundred, is built on a Volvo platform. Drivers will find it safe and steady, but with surprisingly sporty handling on turns and curves. A spacious interior offers room for adult passengers in the rear as well as front, and the trunk boasts a full 21 cubic feet of storage space. Powered by a V6 engine, both front wheel and all-wheel drive are available on this sedan. Mercury is expected to change the name of the Mercury Montego to the Mercury Sable for the 2008 model year, even though the Montego had a long history in the 1960s as a Mercury sedan. Well outfitted and spacious, this may be a good choice for those looking for a comfortable and roomy ride with nice, European style handling."
