2013 Toyota Avalon

The Toyota Avalon is a car that we normally wouldn’t write about because it’s ugly, boring, not luxurious enough, and mainly because it’s driven by people who are over 100 years old.  Toyota is trying to change the Avalon’s image by introducing a sportier new model for 2013.

The 2013 Toyota Avalon does look like it will appeal to younger buyers, buyers who are in their 60’s, which is a big step forward ;).  But seriously, it doesn’t look too bad and is a major improvement over the previous bland models.  I like the side view and the rear end is pretty sexy (as sexy as an Avalon can get)

5 Affordable Sports Cars You Can Buy Now

I’ve written hundreds of posts on cars on Unfinished Man and a few other websites, and most of them have focused on high-end cars that most of us will probably never buy.  So I thought I’d write a post for the average man that still enjoys speed – a list of affordable sports cars.  And by affordable, I don’t mean sub-20k cars because those don’t exist anymore and the dollar isn’t what it used to be.  The 5 affordable cars featured in this post are all priced below $50,000 and are in no particular order.

All-New 2014 Maserati Quattroporte

Maserati has taken the wraps off the all-new 2014 Quattroporte sports sedan ahead of its official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January 2013.

Maserati hasn’t provided any specifications on the drivetrain or any other relevant information, all we get is a handful of pictures and some video footage.  We know is the car will be powered by a V8 engine and is larger than the car it replaces yet lighter.

BALL for BMW Watches

I’ve never looked into BALL watches; the only things I know about them is, they’re an American company and their watches have the brightest lume in the watch industry.  BALL has teamed up with BMW to create the “BALL for BMW” watch.

The watch is said to be designed after gauges from a car with multi-layers, giving it a bit of a 3D look.  The dial does look like an automotive gauge but then again most watch dials look like gauges… well, because they’re round and have numbers on them.  I do, however, like the look of the BALL for BMW watch, if the price is right.
