Good Cars specifications and reviews website

I have found a car review website that carries an extensive database of cars of all makes and models. It has detail specifications, photographs, expert reviews, consumer opinions, as well as tips and advice of almost every car make and model!

For example, it has the popular Honda and Toyota cars, and also the faster Ferrari and Porsche on its database.

In addition, it also carry reviews and news on future car releases. For example, it provides overview of the 2009 BMW 3-Series, the 2009 Volvo XC60 and the 2009 Dodge Challenger.

If you are looking for information, specifications or reviews on cars, this is one website not to be missed.
