10 Most Anticipated Cars for 2011

We may not know art – but we know what we like – new 2011 models. Offerings from the major auto makers in 2011 look to be some of the most stylish (and technologically advanced) vehicles to come off a production line since Tucker introduced moving headlights and automatic wipers (or was that Greg Kinnear?)

Regardless, modes of transit have come a long way: from automatic braking to panoramic rooftops. These are not your grandma’s Caddy’s. Take a look at what the Automopedia staff is excited about in 2011. Chime in and let us know what vehicles you want to test drive this year.

Chevrolet Volt

General Motors teased us for a year or two, promising an all electric car that would achieve hundreds of miles on a single charge. By the time it came to production, Volt was down in the vicinity of 90 – 100 miles per charge and a hybrid gas / electric powertrain. We still love the American-made hybrid, that is FINALLY coming to a dealership near you. Can’t wait to test drive the next-gen of Chevrolet vehicles!

Buick Regal GS

Buick is in the process of completing a 180 – from being something your grandparent’s drive, to a fast paced vehicle you’ll shell out $30,000 for. The new Regal GS for 2011 is just such a ride. With manual transmission standard and enough horses to make a cowboy jealous, the updated Regal may just finish off Buick’s rebirth.

Ford Mustang

Ok, we know not everyone digs the newer Mustangs by Ford Motor Company. But we do. I mean, how can you go wrong with the classic Pony beauty, optional 500 horsepower engine, and the ability to upgrade with the most famous automotive enhancement company ever – Shelby. You can’t mess with a Ford Mustang, at least that’s what we think.

Dodge Charger

Chrysler-Fiat has redesigned the Charger for 2011, curving the fenders and upgrading interior, it’s a new day for Dodge. The auto maker is going for a more hardcore look with this sedan, the Durango and Challenger. They’ve even got a new “Cross hair” grille and logo design. Get Dodge in your target and you will not be disappointed by the experience.

Honda CR-Z

With ads featuring Kevin Spacey and rocking indie-pop by Sleigh Bells, one really can not go wrong with the first ever sports-hybrid-coupe-hatch. This is actually the second attempt at such a vehicle for Honda – the first being their original Insight, which has been upgraded to a sedan in 2011. And much like Buick, Honda is going for manual transmissions, hoping to bring it back in the public eye.

Hyundai Sonata

Hyundai jumped way ahead of their previous offerings with the updated Sonata. It is the first of many redesigns the Korean auto maker will be offering up between now and 2013. Many speculated whether or not Sonata would be a hit – not only has it surpassed the company’s previous offerings, but all Hyundai vehicles have traveled far beyond projected sales figures.

Land Rover Evoque

When you think Land Rover, a coupe rarely comes to mind. But the all new Range Rover Evoque for 2011 is sort of a SUV-Coupe-Crossover. This two-door sports vehicle is the first new model to come from the foreign auto maker in years, and we look forward to it invading North America.

Nissan Leaf

The supposed 100-miles-per-charge LEAF EV was so popular even before it hit dealership lots, the car sold out before production began. The Japanese auto maker has ordered extra for 2011 and beyond.

Volkswagen New Beetle

Fans of VW seem to either love or ABSOLUTELY LOATH the all new Beetle, which is coming out in 2011 or 2012. Nothing is 100% with the German auto maker, but you can guarantee those who want a BUG will be lining up to test drive one.

Volvo S60

Pedestrian warning systems, automatic braking under 30 miles per hour, advanced detection equipment – the all new Volvo S60 can pretty much drive itself. Volvo says it’s heading in an all new direction: offering performance and style to a less-luxurious brand of customers. That may sound a bit insulting, but who wouldn’t want the chance to get in an affordable Volvo?

World’s Most Expensive Cell Phones

Most people enjoy having a quality cell phone, but they also recognize that cellular phones are a consumable good and will have to be replaced within in a few years. For this reason, people often do not purchase the most expensive cell phone when they purchase their mobile. Some, though, must have a costly mobile phone. The world’s most expensive cell phones were made to satisfy just that type of person.

Ulysse Nardin’s The Chairman – up to $49,500

The Chairman by Ulysse Nardin is the world’s most expensive Android smartphone, and includes both a touch screen and a physical number pad. The Ulysse Nardin name is most often associated with luxury watches and that fact shows in the Chairman’s sophisticated design. The volume controls look like watch buttons and the crown between them can actually be wound to generate power for the device. In fact, the phone features a kinetic rotor power system visible through the backplate.

Nokia 8800 Arte with pink diamonds
$134,000

Designed by Peter Aloisson, this solid 18k white gold phone features over 680 pink and white brilliant cut diamonds totaling over 21.5 carats. Some of the phone’s features are a 3.15 MP camera with autofocus and video, a music player, Bluetooth and voice memo.

Peter Aloisson’s iPhone Princess Plus
$176,400

The Princess Plus got its name from the Princess cut used on 138 of the 318 diamonds on its surface. The other 180 diamonds on the phone were brilliant-cut. In total, the phone has 17.75 carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold around its rim. The iPhone Princess Plus is worth $176,400 while the somewhat more pedestrian “Brilliants only” version sold for $66,150.

Sony Ericsson Black Diamond – $300,000

The price of this phone comes from actual state of the art technology instead of a bunch of shiny rocks—but that doesn’t mean it lacks visual appeal. OLED technology underneath the polycarbonate skin that covers the phones entire face gives the 4 megapixel screen a borderless look. The mirror finish gives the phone a sleek, futuristic look.

Vertu Signature Cobra
$310,000

This gaudy phone is so exclusive that only eight will ever be made. Designed by French jeweler Boucheron, the Signature Cobra is made with two diamonds, two emeralds and 439 rubies. For buyers who are only filthy rich, rather than obscenely rich, twenty-six of the less flashy (read: no rubies) Signature Python phones will be available for a mere $115,000. Both phones will feature the real draw—they have frikkin’ snakes on them. Awesome.

Gresso Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot – $1 million

This ultra-exclusive phone, limited to only three units, truly lives up to its name. Not only is it extraordinarily expensive, but its Egypt-inspired design will look right at home in the hands of a Vegas high-roller. The phone features 45.5 carats of black diamonds decorating the bezel and a back panel made from 200-year-old African blackwood—the most expensive wood in the world. As if that weren’t enough to ensure the Jackpot a place among the world’s most expensive mobile phones, each key is cut from a hand-polished sapphire crystal. All of these luxurious materials are set in a 180-gram solid gold frame.

The Diamond Crypto Smartphone – $1.3 million

Created by luxury accessory producer Peter Aloisson of Moscow-based JSC Ancort, this luxury smartphone’s price stems from the platinum body, the cover adorned with 50 diamonds—including eight that are rare blue diamonds. Additionally, the Ancort logo and the navigation key are made of 18k rose gold. Built on the Windows CE, this expensive cell also features a high-resolution color TFT display and a 256 bit cryptographic algorithm. This expensive mobile phone features SMS, MMS, E-mail and Internet capability, WAP, JAVA support and even a media player.

GoldVish ‘Le Million’ Piece Unique
$1.3 million

Guinness World Records certified GoldVish SA’s ‘Le Million’ Piece Unique on January 29th, 2008. The Geneva-based luxury communications company’s expensive mobile phone was designed by Emmanuel Gueit as an addition to the Illusion Collection. The phone is made of 18k white gold and set with 20 carats of VVS1 (only microscopically flawed) diamonds. The phone also features Bluetooth, 2 GB of storage, FM radio, a digital camera and MP3 playback. This expensive cell phone is available only by special order.

Peter Aloisson’s Kings Button iPhone
$2.4 million

The Kings Button iPhone is, surprisingly, a jewel-bedecked iPhone. This time, however, Aloisson had the iPhone 3G to play with—and, apparently, a bit of a bigger budget. One hundred and thirty-eight brilliant-cut diamonds line the sides of the phone, but the real prize is the home button—a rare 6.6 carat white diamond.

Goldstriker iPhone 3GS Supreme – $3.2 million

Stuart Hughes of Goldstriker International is known for giving luxury devices such as phones and video game consoles the “Supreme” treatment—covering them with gold and diamonds—and the iPhone is no exception. The iPhone 3GS Supreme features a casing made from 271 grams of solid 22k gold and a screen trimmed with fifty-three 1-carat diamonds. The home button is covered with a single rare 7.1-carat diamond. That’s not all, though—the iPhone 3GS Supreme comes in a chest carved from a single block of granite and sports Kashmir gold and an interior lining made with Nubuck top grain leather.

Stuart Hughes iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition – $8 million

If you thought his iPhone 3GS Supreme was impressive, check out the latest iPhone from Stuart Hughes–the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition. Hughes has recreated the infamous antenna band that wraps around the sides of the latest iPhone, as well as the backplate, using rose gold. The band is adorned with 100 carats of flawless diamonds, and the Apple logo is formed with fifty-three more diamonds. Once again, the home button gets the most love–it’s made of platinum and features a rare 7.4-carat pink diamond.

The phone comes in an imperial pink 7-kilogram chest cut from a single block of granite and lined with nubuck top-grain leather. It also comes with an 8-carat flawless diamond that can be used in place of the pink one.

Masokisme adalah satu-satunya kelainan paraphilia yang dialami oleh perempuan, sekitar 5 persen makosis adalah perempuan.
