The MP58 has a number of interesting features, but perhaps the most interesting is the intuitive navigation that it possesses when it comes to selecting songs from different audio libraries that are available. This, combined with widespread USB support and just as widespread support for discs carrying MP3 files, denotes that the MP58 is definitely a player that brings some serious pluses to the table.

On the other hand, there is no input jack on the front of this particular stereo as you would see with many of the other stereos currently sold in stores. Simply put, this means that mobile audio devices such as the iPod are not compatible with this system. That will definitely be a turn off to some people, as people that are big into mobile audio will see this downside as too big to warrant a purchase of the Blaupunkt New Orleans MP58. This is probably going to be the main reason as to why people pass the unit up when it hits stores.

What makes this particular car stereo impressive is not the features that it has, but rather the price at which you can obtain those features. The stereo retails for around $150 on average, which is somewhat cheap for an all-in-one device. You can use this stereo for playing radio, compact discs, and mp3 songs. There is also a calling interface with Bluetooth capability built into the device, although the lack of a transfer mechanism requires that you use a phone that is voice-activated in order to get your phone calls to actually go through.

There are certainly trade-offs in the overall design and feature list of the Sony MEX-BT2600, although the main positive of the low price that you get out of it makes it a definite consideration for someone that is looking to save money on their car stereo purchase.

Want a fast car but you also worry about our planet? Koenigsegg now has made it possible for you to realize your fondest dream, with CCXR - the world’s first green supercar. A derivative of the CCX, the engine has been modified to run on biofuel as well as petrol.

The fuel and modification allow the CCXR to produce more power than the CCX, bringing you to an entirely new level of performance. With a much higher octane rating and internal cooling capacity, the ethanol in biofuel makes the engine run with higher compression. This boosts pressure compared to the normal petrol-fuelled CCX.

With the same appearance of strength and flowing motion as its twin, the lineage of CCXR is unmistakable. Go and show people that fast cars need not be enemies of the planet. And do it in blazing speed!

Are you short of parking space? Then replace that standard car with the new smart fortwo pure. Designed for better fuel efficiency and to address the ever-growing need for parking spaces, this compact car could very well be the car of the future.
