Mercedes-Benz F-Cell: It’s Starting Leasing Next Year!

Mercedes-Benz F-Cell Back in the month of April, Mercedes-Benz began making all sorts of plans to come out with the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell – on a smaller scale.  The German automaker wanted to start small in order to see how this particular car went – they are going to be starting with just about 200 cars throughout the United States as well as Europe and as of early next year, you should be able to lease the beautiful Mercedes-Benz F-Cell.

What is so different about the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell is that it actually uses a 100 kW electric motor that churns out about 214 lb-ft of torque, which is something that many – many cars do not have.  This car actually features a 2.0-liter gas-powered engine inside that will get up to about 60 mph in under 11 seconds, which is awesome!

The best part about the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell?  It can go up to about 86.6 mpg, which is fantastic because gas prices are on the rise again!

Hertz: Lotus Elise SC Joins The Italian Rent-a-Car!

HertzHave you ever seriously thought about getting yourself a Lotus?  I mean honestly, they are one of the hottest cars in the world and while they are rare – they are absolutely worth the investment.  This particular sports car though is now available for rent via Hertz in Italy!  To me – that is pretty awesome.  I know if I was going to Italy, I would absolutely want to drive around in style and now you can!

While this car may not be one of the top sports cars in Italy, it is certainly in the top twenty and I think that if they have the Lotus available for rent the next time that I am in Italy, I will be taking advantage of it and definitely get myself behind the wheel of this beautiful – great looking sports car.

Remember, Italy is the capital of style and if you are driving around in one of the Saab or Coopers, you will not look nearly as cool than if you rolled up in a Lotus!
