Even though the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid may be several months away from launch, there are many car enthusiasts who are eagerly waiting for the launch of the car. Initially, Toyota planned to price the car at £31,000 but later decided to reduce the prices to £26,000 after the government decided to give it an electric car grant of £5,000.

Even though the car is a bit expensive when compared to other petrol cars, its low running cost can help in boosting the sales of the car. The car is the only electric car in its range that offers more than 14 miles which makes it easy to take the car for shopping with having to refill the car.

To recharge the battery, you can connect it to an ordinary household electric outlet. If you have forgotten to charge the battery, you can run the car with the help of the petrol engine.

The car is expected to hit the market in the first half of 2012.

Even though 2011 Kia Sportage was launched with much funfair at Geneva Motor Show in March 2010, the car is being launched in many countries this month. However, the positive review that it has received in many countries has made it one of the most awaited car in many countries.

The main reason for launching the new redesigned Sportage was to increase the market share of the car. However, this will not be easy as Hyundai Tucson is a market leader in the SUV segment in many countries and breaking its hold will not be easy.

Some of the positives of the car include spacious cabin, well-fitted interiors, easy to use controls and centrally located touch screen.

Kia is planning to launch the 2012 Cadenza soon. Here are some features that we love in the 2011 Kia Cadenza and would love the company to include it in its upcoming model:

  • The 2011 Kia Cadenza is the value for money car that has several features that are only available in expensive models.
  • The look of the car is great, so we don't expect the company to make any major change in the new version of the car.
  • Also, the car is spacious and ideal for people who are looking for a car that they can use when holidaying with their family.

However, the 2011 Kia Cadenza was not perfect and we expect the company to make changes in the 2012 Kia Cadenza.

  • The steering is not smooth especially at high speeds.
  • The handling of the 2011 Kia Cadenza is not easy especially on city roads.
  • The noise of the wind when the car is driven at high speed is annoying.
