While the models between the two years are almost identical save for some minor improvements on the 2009 - including a higher-finish grille and larger wheel sizes on the more expensive trim levels - the differences with the Altima Sedan are quite significant. Most obvious is the exterior styling of the two cars as the Coupe has both a shorter wheel-base and shorter height to achieve a sportier look while sacrificing interior room, particularly in the trunk area. Interior-wise both cars feature a...

Internally, the coupe is no different than the Sedan model, featuring the same engine and features, the difference is all on the outside, and less storage capacity for people in the back seat as well as a smaller trunk. The 2007 model stays in the eighth generation of Civics which follows the bold and futuristic styling that has garnered mixed reactions. On the interior the coupe has an unconventional split dashboard. The speed and distance meters lie inside the top dash which is viewable above the steering... Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:32:49 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2007-honda-civic-coupe/ http://www.productwiki.com/2007-toyota-yaris/ Built around the core concept of "pride of ownership" the Yaris is Toyota's 2007 entry into the competitive minicar market, which includes the Honda Fit and Nissan Versa. Toyota's previous offering for this level, the Toyota Echo, received lukewarm response by critics and in the marketplace. There are two different models of the Yaris, a 3-door liftback and a 4-door sedan, a 5-door hatchback is also available in Canada. Leveraging Toyota's massive resources the Sedan and Hatchback versions of the car were created by two entirely different teams, so while the specifics of the cars remain similar or even identical, the...

After more than 20 years Volkwagen is bringing back the Rabbit for the North American market to take a piece of the expanding minicar market. VW is bringing back the name more than anything, as the Rabbit has been available all this time, except it was known as the Golf. In other parts of the world the name Rabbit has never been used, and the Golf brand will continue outside of North America. The Rabbit is built on the 5th generation Golf design, and while it contains many similarities to the 2006 Golf,...

At 100 cu-ft, the Ford Fusion's passenger volume exceeds that of the Chevrolet Malibu, but is below a Toyota Camry's. The Ford Fusion comes in three trims: S, SE, and SEL, all of which come powered by a 2.3L 4-cylinder DOHC engine that produces 160 hp and 156 lb-ft, and achieves a gas mileage of 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Optionally available on SE and SEL trims is a more powerful 3.0L 6-cylinder engine with 221...

A 10th generation model is available in Japan, and Toyota will introduce a new redesigned Corolla for the 2009 year. Starting life as an entry level subcompact, the Corolla has moved up in the world with the Honda Civic and Nissan Sentra to make room for the Toyota Yaris. The XRS sport tuned model which featured a more powerful engine is no longer available for the 2007 year. All three trims for the Corolla feature the same 1.8 liter 4-cylinder DOHC engine that...

The void gets replaced by a totally new model. The Fit is Honda's answer to the surge in the minicar category with the Toyota Yaris and Nissan's Versa. In creating the Fit Honda preempted the concerns about small cars and offers a host of standard safety features including side front airbags, side curtain airbags, and an anti-lock braking system. The other major concern is with space, and in this field Honda came up with two innovative solutions. Placing the fuel tank which usually lies underneath the rear seats, and placed them in... Tue, 18 Jul 2006 22:14:08 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2007-honda-fit/ http://www.productwiki.com/2007-honda-civic-hybrid/ The hybrid Civic is Honda's environmentally friendly answer to the 2007 Toyota Prius in the small size sedan market. Due to the extra space requirements that the battery cells require to power the electric motor, the sedan model is the only available hybrid form. Furthermore, the battery cells reduce the available trunk space from 12 cubic feet in the non-hybrid Civic Sedan to 10.4 on the Hybrid. The battery cells also prevent the rear seats from folding inwards, to give more storage space, like they do on the non-hybrid version. The benefit from this decrease in storage space is a massive...

The Si sedan combines the same performance enhancements that the Si Coupe brings, as well as the extra room of the normal sedan. Identical to the Si coupe, the Si Sedan has a major improvement in the engine going from the 1.8L SOHC to a 2.0L K20 DOHC i-VTEC which delivers 197 HP at 7800 RPM. Wheels are 17" allow up from 16" in the non-Si. The transmission moves from a 5-speed to 6-speed manual with no automatic option. The extra room that a sedan brings doesn't...

Enter the 2006 Toyota Corolla S, with its awesome styling like front and rear underbody spoilers and available 15-in. aluminum alloy wheels. Then there's the Corolla LE, which has remote keyless entry and power windows, door locks and color-keyed mirrors.

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 12:49:28 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2007-mitsubishi-outlander/ http://www.productwiki.com/2006-mazda-6/ Mazda unveiled the production version of this high-performance variant of its midsize Mazda 6 in Paris this September. The concept first appeared in Paris two years ago. At the heart of this vehicle is a turbocharged, direct-injection, 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine. This powertrain, capable of producing 270 horsepower, is mated with a six-speed manual transmission. All-wheel drive is a standard feature. <-- this discription is incorrect, it is for the mazdaspeed 6. Wed, 19 Jul 2006 14:40:29 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2006-mazda-6/ http://www.productwiki.com/2006-toyota-camry/ You didn't get to where you're at by waiting around. So the immediate acceleration of the 3.3-liter VVT-i V6 of Camry SE is utterly practical. But if luxury is more your speed, take a look at the XLE V6 with standard moonroof and leather-trimmed interior, or the Camry LE with power driver's seat and steering wheel audio controls. (Even the Camry Standard has air conditioning, CD player and cruise control all included.) And Camry gets you farther on less with a surprising rating of 24 estimated city, 34 highway miles per gallon. Hey, Camry knows how you like to travel through... Wed, 12 Jul 2006 12:58:31 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2006-toyota-camry/ http://www.productwiki.com/silence-pt2/ Electric vehicles promise to run on less energy, and be friendlier to the environment. However, some people worry that performance and style has to be sacrificed on the altar of the environment. Silence Inc, a joint venture between two Canadian companies, EBW (Electric Big Wheel) and T-Rex, have created the Silence PT2: an electric 3-wheel vehicle. The PT2 is advertised to last for 125-250 miles on a single charge, and can reach a speed of 120 mph.  It is 13 feet long, six feet wide and four feet high.

Completely redesigned for 2009, the Corolla grows slightly over its predecessor and offers a little more interior space. With a passenger volume of 92 cu.-ft. and a trunk space of 16.3 cu.-ft., the Corolla bests the Honda Civic (90.9/12.0) and Chevrolet Cobalt (87.1/13.9). Power comes from a choice of 4-cylinder engines. The basic 1.8 L Inline-4 produces 132 hp and 128 lb-ft. Fuel economy is rated at 27 mpg city / 35 mpg highway. The top-of-the-line 2.4 L Inline-4 offers 158 hp and 162 lb-ft, with a gas mileage of 22 mpg city / 30mpg highway.

The combined output of this powertrain is 187 hp and 38 lb-ft.Gas mileage is rated at 40 mpg city and 38 mpg on the highway. Compared to the standard Camr sedan, th Hybrid's trunk-space decreases to 10.6 cu-ft from 15.0 cu-t, due to the batteries for the Hybrid powertrain that are stored in the trunk.

When the minicar market started to boom in North America Nissan already had the Versa (known as the Tiida in other markets) and brought the 2007 version over. Despite the economy nature of the minicar market Nissan opted to retain the luxury roots when they brought the Versa over. The Versa comes in four configurations, a hatchback and sedan version, and then the lower end 1.8S model, and higher end 1.8SL for both styles. There is no difference between...

Nissan joins the other car manufacturers in moving their traditional sub-compact cars into the compact range, which keeps the Sentra competitive with cars such as the Honda Civic. The Sentra is powered by a 2.0L 4 cylinder engine that produces 140HP at 5100 RPM. A rarity for this class of cars is the standard 6-speed manual transmission, a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) is the only available automatic option and the highest end SL model is available with...

The 2007 Jetta is part of the fifth generation of models introduced in the 2006 year. Previous Jettas were available in wagon versions, but for 2007 VW is offering only a sedan. There are four different models which vary in features and engine that range from an entry level price of $16,000 to the fully loaded GLI which comes in at $31,000.

The 1 Series is scheduled to appear in Spring of 2008 as a rear-wheel-drive, two-door coupe and convertible. It will use the same chassis as the European 1 Series which was launched in 2005.

Even bigger news is expected about a year later when a coupe version debuts for the first time. Both cars will get slightly larger versions of the Boxster's current engine offerings with gains in the 10-20 horsepower range. Wed, 19 Jul 2006 14:45:38 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2006-porsche-boxster/ http://www.productwiki.com/2006-mini-cooper/ The Cooper is available as either a two-door hatchback or a two-door convertible with a power-operated top, and both are available in two versions -- base and "S." The base Cooper is outfitted with 15-inch wheels, leatherette upholstery (cloth is a no-cost option), a tilt steering wheel, a centrally mounted speedometer, air conditioning with micron filtration, a six-speaker stereo with CD player and power windows, locks and mirrors. The Cooper S adds 16-inch wheels with run-flat performance tires, seat-height adjustment and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. A wide range of customizing packages and options are also available. Thu, 13 Jul 2006 11:54:04 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2006-mini-cooper/ http://www.productwiki.com/2006-audi-tt/ Although it still looks good after four years on the market, the TT is headed for a complete redesign in 2006. Altering the look of a car that depends so heavily on styling for its appeal is always tricky so expect an evolutionary design update that doesn't stray too far from the original. It's expected to share a platform with the A3 and will continue with a mix of four- and six-cylinder powerplants. Thu, 13 Jul 2006 11:51:36 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/2006-audi-tt/
