New Car Review: 2012 Infiniti G25 Sedan Journey

dave — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:57:35 +0000

Is the Infiniti G25 or the more expensive, more powerful and more luxurious G37? That’s the question that Infiniti hopes your neighbor will ask if you decide to purchase the G37s cheaper identical twin brother. In an effort to bring new, younger and more budget-minded buyers to the luxury brand, infiniti built an entry level car out of the brand’s popular G37 sedan.

New Car Review: 2012 Volvo XC60 R-Design

dave — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:17:39 +0000

http://www.tflcar.com/

( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Volvo XC60 R-Design competes with other premium 5 passenger crossovers like the new BMW X3, the new Acura RDX and of course the segment leading Lexus RX350. Compared to those cars the Volvo has a high degree of Swedish flare. Volvo has a well earned reputation for building safe, sturdy and dependable cars but when you think of sporty and fast all-wheel-drive crossovers…the name Volvo is not the first thing that pops into your mind and yet…. here’s my latest review.

Brady Murray, Kona Inspired

Pre-racw with Brady Murray at Ironman St. George 2012

From Ironman.com

From now through May 31, you can upload a 90-second video sharing how you represent the Ironman mantra, Anything is Possible, by going to www.konainspired.com or the Kona Inspired App. on Facebook. Once the video is uploaded, the community will watch, share and vote on their favorite inspirational athletes.

On June 1, the entries will be narrowed down to a group of 45 semi-finalists by Ironman representatives based on online votes, views and their representation of the Ironman mantra. The semi-finalists will then be randomly split into three groups of 15 to be voted on during three, two-week voting cycles. Each voting cycle will result in two winners (six total) based solely on the videos with the top number of online votes by the endurance community. Once those six winners are chosen, Ironman representatives will choose two more “wild-card” stories from the remaining semi-finalists, taking into account online votes, to bring the total to eight Kona Inspired athlete stories. The eight winners will receive slots to the 2012 Ironman World Championship and will be highlighted as media athletes.

The inspirational stories of athletes crossing the finish line in Kona have helped to shape Ironman into the global sensation that it is today. Kona Inspired will be an exciting opportunity that unites the global endurance community in picking an amazing group of athletes to represent them at the Ironman World Championship in 2012. Who will be the next Team Hoyt or Lew Hollander?

Below is my interview with Boise, Idaho’s Brady Murray. Brady would finish Ironman St. George 12:26:19!

New Car Review: 2012 Nissan Rogue SV AWD

dave — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:17:44 +0000

( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 The Nissan Rogue looks a bit like a happy jelly bean with bright eyes and a warm and fuzzy personality. If you are looking for a manly Crossover to tackle the worst of the great outdoors the Rogue, even though the name may suggest otherwise, is not the ride for you. It is designed more with shopping malls and soccer fields in mind than crossing the continental divide on a well rutted dirt road. Think of it as the Ugg boots of the crossover world. They may look like they are designed for snow but most women know they are meant for style over substance.

New Car Review: 2012 BMW 650i Coupe

dave — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:44:53 +0000

( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 BMW 650i M Package Coupe is no longer the ugly duckling of the BMW family as it now sports a much more modern and elegant design. Gone is slightly awkward mishmash of cut lines replaced by a lowered, stretched and widened car with huge helping of serious road presence. If you like your BMW’s shaken and not stirred…this is the one for you!
