          Hello.  Most of you guys have seen Cars, right?  Well, if you live in America like I do, you have probably seen the American version.  You may remember the character Harv, Lightning McQueen's agent.  The American version's actor was Jeremy Piven.  But guess who was the actor for the UK version?  JEREMY CLARKSON!  Yes, he is from Top Gear and I love that show.  That is why I wanted to point that out to you.  I didn't know this until I learned it a couple weeks ago, and I couldn't wait to blog about it.  When I first learned about it, it blew my mind because I knew Harv didn't sound like him.  Then I learned there were different actors and that sort of cleared things up.  Well that's all I have today.  Blog ya later!

          Hello!  I have always liked Maserati's.  They are cool, fast and stylish.  I have recently returned from the San Francisco car show, and I was able to get into the new Ghibli.  The Maserati Ghibli is the cheapest Maserati there is, starting at $66,900.  The S Q4 model is $76,900.  Other Maserati's are around $120,000.  I'm not trying to be a cheapo, but for a good Maserati, that's a good bargain!  Both come with a 3 liter engine, and the standard produces 345 horsepower, while the S Q4 model produces 404 horsepower.  That's pretty fast for a 4-door car.  That's all I have on the Ghibli, so blog ya later!  (P.S. I couldn't find any pictures of this car, but I bet you can find some on the internet.  Sometimes this Blogger is very stupid once it comes to pictures).  Oh well.  Blog ya later!

           Hey!  It's me, the wonderful Skyler!  I have noticed that motors have gotten better over the years.  Ok, that's a stupid comment.  OF COURSE, they've gotten better over the years with the new technologies we are gaining. I was also looking at old cars.  Honestly, they look more fun to drive than the newer cars.  The speed-o-meters look cooler, the door handles look fun to pull, and even the shape and body of the car looks more classic than new cars.  They look nicer and will get you a lot of attention if you drive one.   I've also realized that all these car models and brands went bye-bye over the years.  I was looking at a display from all these car brands from the 1940s or 50s and there were only 3 or 4 that were still running today like Chrysler and Ford.  That seems very interesting to me why they went down.  Probably because they lost the rent on the factories.  Who knows?  Well, maybe someone knows, but not me.  So, you can go look that up when your on the computer at your house.  Blog ya later!

           Hello!  So it seems that 3D printing has come a long way these days.  Yeah, I know.  You're probably thinking, "Hey!  This is a car blog!  Why are you talking about 3D printing!?"  Well, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, the new 3D printed Urbee 2!  Well, I lied.  It's not a fully 3D printed car.  It's body is mostly 3D printed.  It is supposed to be the world's most economic car in the world.  I can get up to speeds like 110 kilometers an hour!  But, that's only about 68 mph.  It uses ethanol fuel and can get up to hundreds of miles per gallon.  There are just prototypes now, so I don't know when we are able to buy it, but I'm sure something like this will be in your local auto malls soon.  Blog ya later!

           Hello again!  It's me, Skyler.  I have seen the GMC Canyon around before, when it wasn't new.  You may think they stopped selling new versions of it.  Well, you're wrong.  The new 2015 GMC Canyon is back and as awesome as before, I guess.  It is a pickup truck, and looks a lot like the GMC Sierra.  But if you look at it close up, it really does look like an old Canyon.  Now it has a modern look to it and modern features.  It is your powerful pickup truck and by the looks of it, you can take it anywhere with your family from the mountains to the oceans.  Everything you want in a pickup is there so get this fall!  Blog ya later!

           Hey!  There's a new Chrysler out!  The new 200 is coming to your neighborhood, or your auto mall.  RANDOM CAR FACT!  Did you know that there are only 3 main cars that the Chrysler outs there name on?  They own many other car companies, but only 3 carry the very special badge.    The car looks cool, with a modern flare, but it still gives you a sense that it's a Chrysler. 
          This car can be a great family sedan with 295 horsepower and 36 highway mpg.  It may not be the flashiest car you have ever seen, but at least put it on your to do list to take a test drive in one of these. 
           I found one very special thing about this car that is unique to any other car in its class; a 9 speed automatic transmission.  I have never heard of a car with a nine speed transmission.  Although, I am only 12, so that might be the issue here. 
           This car also comes with many safety features including lane departure warning. 
           According to which type you get, this car starts from 21,700 - 25,995.  A little much for a small car compared to the Nissan Sentra or Versa sedan, but the Chrysler 200 is the perfect little car for a family.  Blog ya later!

           Hi again!  Now, I'm guessing the answer is no, but have any of you seen the TV kids show Phineas and Ferb?  As a twelve year old, I have in the past years.  This show has been running since 2007.  Anyway, you may be thinking why am I bringing up a kids' television show on a car blog?  You'd be surprised to know that the Top Gear UK presenters were ON the television cartoon.  The episode is called Live and Let Drive.  Yes, it may remind you of a James Bond movie, but that is not the point.  I just turned to the show, and I heard some familiar voices.  Then BOOM!  I saw the presenters in a booth commentating on the Grand Prix.  And the funniest part was, they were in cartoons!  I thought it was pretty exciting.  Well, that's all I have today!  Blog ya later!
