Toyota Prius Wood Dash

Toyota has posted some rather incredible sales number through the last several months, and April was no different. With 160,493 units sold, Toyota’s volume was up by 13.1-percent compared to last year.  While many automakers are seeing a record gains and sales numbers, Toyota feels that its success was due to its fleshed out line of high-tech hybrids.
The Prius Family bolstered up 25,168 of the above sales, outpacing Toyota’s expectations by a fair margin. One of the biggest boosts to sales was the all-new Prius c. With a hair over 4,000 of the subcompact hybrid blowing through lots, Toyota is having a hard time keeping up with consumer demand. The new Camry hybrid also boosted sales with 4,406 finding owners in April.
Toyota has a lot to be happy about, and if gas prices continue the way they have been, there is a good chance that even more consumers may be flocking to the Japanese hybrids.
Prius owners are usually pretty sharp. They know what they have: a sporty, stylish vehicle that delivers on efficiency as well as any other in its class. No wonder why this ride has gotten so much attention! But deriving the maximum amount of pleasure from yours starts with adding a personal touch. It doesn’t get any more “personal” than the cabin.

2014 Chevrolet Impala

No all-wheel drive option in sight for 2014 Chevrolet Impala
While the 2014 Chevrolet Impala may have many charming qualities and boast a plethora of engine options, one feature it reportedly won't be offering is all-wheel drive. According to GMInsideNews.com, Chevrolet reps have said all-wheel drive is not part of the short-term or long-term plan for the new large sedan.
While the Impala will share a platform with the Cadillac XTS and Buick LaCrosse – both of which do offer AWD – apparently General Motors wants to keep the Impala front-drive-only to help differentiate it from the Buick and Cadillac. While it remains to be seen whether the lack of all-wheel drive will hurt the Impala's chances of competing with the Ford Taurus and Dodge Charger, which both offer it, Chevy's people have reportedly called all-wheel drive a "very slim piece of the full-size sedan market."
Finding the best interior design for your vehicle begins (and ends) with Chevy Impala Wood Grain. It’s that simple. No other custom upgrade can deliver the effect you’re looking for because when it comes to Chevy Impala Wood Dash Kits, you are the one who makes all the decisions. It doesn’t matter if you want a sporty, racing-inspired theme or would rather go classy with a luxuriously vintage wood grain treatment, there’s a finish out there for you.  We have them all right here courtesy of the most premier manufacturers in the business such as Sherwood®, B&I, and WOW Trim.

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco

The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco made me redo my math. The new midsize sedan's highway fuel economy seemed too good. Its price versus the competition looked too low.
No matter how many times I ran the numbers, the answer was the same: The new Malibu Eco is a terrific car at a good price.
The Eco is the most fuel-efficient version of the all-new 2013 Malibu. It uses a small electric motor and battery to supplement its engine and reduce fuel consumption. It's the first of several models of the new Malibu that will go on sale this year.
Prices for the Malibu Eco start at $25,235. In addition to the electric system, the Eco has a 182-horsepower 2.4-liter engine and six-speed automatic transmission. Other engines, including a 2.5-liter base model and high-performance turbocharged 2.0-liter, will be available when the full model line arrives.
I tested a well-equipped Eco with leather seats, Pioneer audio system, eight air bags and voice-recognition. It stickered at $28,620. All prices exclude destination charges.
The Malibu Eco competes with a wide range of midsize sedans, including some hybrid and diesel models. They include the Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion and hybrid, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and hybrid, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry and hybrid and Volkswagen Passat gasoline and diesel.
The Malibu Eco stacks up well against comparably equipped models. It gets better fuel economy than the non-hybrids, and matches or beats most of them on price and features.
It costs less than more comparably equipped hybrids and the VW diesel, which get better fuel economy.
There is one very key reason why the interior is looked at as the most important place to add some added décor: it is where you spend basically all of your time. And after a while, whether you notice or not, it becomes drab, boring, and monotonous. There is a simple way to ensure your cabin is always a place to look forward to - Chevy Malibu Wood Grain. Inside our world-class inventory of Chevy Malibu Wood Dash Kits you will find an abundance of the finest finishes in existence. We’re talking vintage Real Woods, OEM Factory Woods, Real Carbon Fiber, and much, much more. Pristine quality in all of our Chevy Malibu Wood Grain is guaranteed. Easy for us, since we recruit every major manufacturer around to join the party. Installation is never a hassle. Thanks to super-adherent 3M tape, your new kit is a simple peel & stick application even the most novice drivers can handle with ease. So what’s the holdup?

Chevrolet Cruze News

Chevrolet Cruze station wagon unveiled ahead of Geneva.
This is the new Chevy Cruze station wagon, which will debut at next month's Geneva Motor Show and then arrive in European showrooms this summer. At 184 inches, it's longer than both the Cruze sedan and hatchback (by three and seven inches, respectively).
 Inside, there's 17.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up, and up to 52 cubic feet with the seats folded. Drivers will get to choose from a range of gasoline (1.6, 1.8, and 1.4T) and diesel (1.7 and 2.0) powertrains, and the long-roof Cruze arrives with Chevy MyLink available.
 Australians will get a Holden-badged version, but as for us? Sorry, guys. Don't expect anything in the near future. Chevrolet spokesman Michael Albano says, "No plans on bringing the wagon to US at this point. But we'll continue to evaluate market as needed."

Nissan Juke

Nissan Juke NISMO Concept. NISMO’s reach may expand, but it still will adhere to its current two-pronged strategy for road-car performance tuning: one, create showroom-ready performance versions of Nissan vehicles and, two, offer branded parts and accessories. As you’d expect, the Juke concept is an example of a turn-key NISMO model.
To create the concept, NISMO added a more aerodynamic body kit with a new front fascia and splitter, rocker extensions, fender flares, a rear valance, and a hatch spoiler. The Juke’s stance—and, ostensibly, its handling—benefits from a lowered and stiffened suspension. A red-accented white paint job and dark 19-inch wheels wrapped in low-profile tires don’t hurt the look, either. Nissan says the NISMO Juke’s turbocharged 1.6-liter four was tweaked for more power, but doesn’t elaborate on what specific changes were made. In stock form the engine makes a relatively impressive 188 hp, which we’ve found to be enough to overpower the front wheels of our long-termer, so we’re hoping that the hopped-up car features all-wheel drive. (No word yet on any brake upgrades.) We do note that the Juke NISMO is fitted with a manual transmission, something that’s only available on front-drive production models. Nissan steering wheel
A steering wheel is perhaps the most personal part of your vehicle. Whenever and wherever you are driving, you touch it, you feel it, and you see it. So if you really want your car to make a statement and reflect your personality, a custom steering wheel is a must. Whether you need a steering wheel that matches the interior of your vehicle or want something that creates a sharp contrast, within our huge collection, you will easily find the product that is right for you. Not enough proofs? Check over 4 steering wheels reviews with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, and get inspired for the changes.

2012 Dodge Grand Caravan

 The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan ranks 6 out of 8 Minivans. This ranking is based on our analysis of 38 published reviews and test drives of the Dodge Grand Caravan, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan has everything families are looking for in a minivan, including one of the lowest starting prices in the class.
Since 2011, the minivan class has become more competitive, with car companies adding high-tech features, building luxurious interiors and focusing on improving performance. That’s good news for anyone shopping for a minivan as it’s tough to make a bad choice in this competitive class.
It’s not great news for the vans themselves, however. The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan is an example of this: a perfectly good van that offers the price, safety ratings and features that today’s families want. However, reviewers say other vans are simply better, even if they can’t always articulate why.
The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan gets points for its practical and comfortable interior, which is more basic than some luxury-oriented vans, but still loaded with cargo space and plenty of available high-tech features. Reviewers also like its aggressive and macho (for a minivan) styling, and strong crash test ratings. Its low starting price is another draw. Still, reviewers report that other vans are better all-around packages. If you’re shopping vans, make sure the Grand Caravan is on your list – but don’t forget to shop the competition.

GMC Wood Dash

The 2012 GMC Acadia ranks 6 out of 25 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 73 published reviews and test drives of the GMC Acadia, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Reviewers praise the 2012 GMC Acadia for its competent performance, spacious interior, roomy third row and aggressive looks.  Still, buyers looking for a three-row SUV at a bargain-basement price will want to look elsewhere.
Reviewers say that overall, the GMC Acadia is a great vehicle for families who need a lot of space but can’t bring themselves to buy a minivan. Though its starting price is more than others in its class, reviewers say the Acadia is worth the extra money. The Acadia has more interior space than some larger, truck-based SUVs, along with better fuel economy, a more comfortable drive and an attractive, aggressive exterior.
Critics do have a few bones to pick with the Acadia. Some test drivers take issue with the Acadia’s six-speed automatic transmission. The transmission’s gears help the engine get better gas mileage than many competitors, but this also makes it more difficult to harness the V6 engine’s 288 horsepower when you need to get up a hill or merge onto the highway.
Every GMC is a work of art in its own way. But sometimes, your personal style doesn’t shine through enough. And when you climb in and out of your ride on a daily basis, the last thing you need to be is bored with the décor. GMC Wood Grain solves that problem with ease. CARiD.com presents a vaunted selection of GMC Wood Grain Dash Kits your vehicle will fall in love with over and over again.
