Just for your information, here’s the TOP 10 of US most sold cars in July 2010 from a price range under $40 000. I was suprised to see BMW 3 Series at top. I could imagine Chrysler 300C would make it to top 10. But it’s near though.
Another surprice for me was that Toyota is still ranking so well after all kind off problems they had. Or what you think about that?
1. BMW 3 Series
2. Cadillac CTS
3. Mercedes-Benz C-Class
4. Infiniti G37 Sedan
5. Lexus ES 350
6. Acura TSX
7. Acura TL
8. Lexus IS 350
9. Buick Lucerne
10. Toyota Avalon

Chevrolet Impala 2010 Short Reviews
“With powerful and efficient V6 engines, a comfortable cabin and a smooth ride, the Chevrolet Impala brings a lot to the family sedan table even though its cabin refinement and handling dynamics are a few steps behind the class leaders.”
by Edmunds
“The Impala is “a car that seems to have a split personality. … It wants to be a modern family car, but it also seems to reach back to the heyday of models that boasted powerful American steel. In the end, it parks itself squarely in the middle.”
by Boston Globe
“Not much to complain or get excited about. The Impala LS is what it is, good enough to make the Impala easily the best-selling American-branded car.” – Orlando Sentinel
“Higher-quality interiors and more involving driving experiences are available from top-line competitors such as the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata.”
by Car and Driver
“Although the Impala may not have the strong resale figures of its Japanese rivals, it does have a number of redeeming qualities. The Impala features a large back seat and trunk, as well as something no other import in the class offers: An optional V8 engine. Still, it’s fair to say the Impala has its work cut out for it.”
by Kelley Blue Book

Susan Boyle – Not car related
Susan Boyle toke the audience at Britain’s Got Talent 2009. Susan Boyle looks like any other regular respected mom, but damn when she opens her mouth and start signing. Unbelievable! First time I watched this video I was gasping air. This lady has surely a voice that some best-selling pop-artists are dreaming off.
Look at the Susan Boyle video below and see yourself how reality based programs like Talent can bring regular Joe to public. Since last checked this video was watched in YouTube over 25million times. It’s just shame that Susan Boyle, who is 47-years old got attention she really deserved until now. But is that age really a lot? Njah!
I’m sure we will hear about Susan Boyle and more like to hear! Enjoy this video of Susan Boyle performing in front of judges like Simon Cowell and very demanding crowd of people. They all are stunned!
Here’s YouTube video link (they don’t allow to embed it.. wtf)
