Top 5 sexy cars

1) Sexiest Sports Car

Most of you will agree that sports cars are indeed sexy. Pick any popular name like: Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, etc; these are all associated with making the sexiest cars in the world. But for 2012 one exotic car manufacturer has created the most stunning example of a car the world has ever seen. Priced at $374,000 the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador is not only the sexiest car on the road but one of the most expensive. Oh and don’t forget it is blazingly fast. The Aventador is powered by a super strong 6.5L V-12 engine putting out 691 hp and 508 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted through the Haldex all-wheel drive system through an advanced 7-speed automatic. 0-60 MPH flies by in 2.9 seconds making it one of the fastest production cars ever! The whole chassis including its interior is made from ultra sexy carbon fibre. The sharp angles look more like a concept fighter jet rather than a car.

2) Sexiest Convertible

Driving a convertible is enough to make you feel sexy. However, driving the 2012 Aston Martin Virage Convertible make you feel and look like a million bucks. The Virage Convertible projects nothing but elegance, style, and class. Aston Martin is known the world over as the sexiest car maker and the Virage sports a 6.0L V-12 engine creating 490 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. The Virage looks a lot like the other Aston Martin cars with a bit of super exotic thrown in to the mix. The aluminium front grill is definitely the highlight. The selling price is $223,000 and that can truly be described as costly; nevertheless, in the category of high-end vehicles, the final product outshines the price. Other sexy convertibles were the Audi R8 Spyder, Ferrari California, Mercedes SL, Chevy Corvette, Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead, and BMW 650.

3) Sexiest Coupe

Coupes are definitely sexy and alluring. With the modern muscle cars wars brewing, there is one coupe that not only has the looks but the power to back it up. The 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 has a traditional muscle car look with some modern design thrown in for good measure. The Challenger SRT8 packs a huge HEMI V-8 engine. The motor is 6.4L that can make 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The cool recessed headlights and front grill give the SRT8 a sinister look. The Hurst style 6-speed manual transmission has a pistol grip shifter. If you find its price $44,000 expensive, then go for the 2012 Dodge Challenger V-6 model with is $20k less. Some other sexy 2-door cars include the Ford Mustang Boss 302, Chevy Camaro SS, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Honda Civic SI, and the Nissan 370Z.

4) Sexiest Sedan

Year after year each automobile company releases a new sedan that looks just like the previous model year. And to make matters worse, all family cars look the same. But the 2012 Volkswagen CC is able to stand out from the crowd a bit although it looks like its other counterparts to some extent. But the car is just modern enough to be noticeable. Selling at $29,000 the VW CC presents itself as a middle-sized lavish sedan. But many confuse it for a more expensive luxury car. The engine is Volkswagen tried and true 4-cylinder turbo engine that puts out 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. City driving figures are 22 mpg while highway driving checks in at 31 mpg. Some other sexy sedans are the Chrysler 300, Ford Taurus, Mazda 6 and Dodge Charger.

5)Sexiest Luxury Car

When you talk of luxury cars, you automatically identify them with being expensive which is part of their appeal since money and power are sexy. For 2012 no luxury car is more striking than the 2012 Bentley Continental GT. This car even puts the much admired Audi A7 Sportback to shame. The Bentley sports a sophisticated front grille that consists of LED headlights. The engine is a twin-turbo 6.0L W-12 design (12 cylinders). Power is a monstrous 567 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. This is enough to blow the socks of any car on the road. A couple of other sexy luxury cars are the aforementioned Audi A7, Mercedes CLS, and Maserati Gran Turismo.

Best 5 cell phones

You carry your phone almost everywhere, so it's important that you find the model that's right for you. We've chosen five handsets that we think are the top cell phones right now in any category.






Motorola Droid Razr Maxx
Longest-lasting smartphone
In the world of smartphones, the Droid Razr Maxx is Methuselah--only much, much hipper. Its 3,300mAh battery keeps the top-notch specs at hand when you need them, like that 4.5-inch screen and 8-megapixel camera. The Kevlar backing and angled design make it a beauty.









Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Best Android experience
This is the phone--and OS--we've been waiting for. The first to debut Ice Cream Sandwich, the Galaxy Nexus stands alone as an excellent phone in its own right, with the world's first working Android 4.0 OS.



  










Apple iPhone 4S
Best smartphone for media
The iPhone 4S isn't the king of cell phones, but it's part of the royal family nonetheless. Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyone ready to upgrade.


 








Samsung Focus S
Best Windows Phone
With its excellent 8-megapixel camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, this is the most advanced phone yet bearing Microsoft's mobile operating system.

  










HTC Thunderbolt
The HTC Thunderbolt includes the Android 2.2 operating system and 1GHz Snapdragon processor. If you are looking for a cell phone with fast speeds, the HTC Thunderbolt may be an ideal fit.

The 5 biggest tablets of 2012

Tablets, tablets everywhere

Ipad  

The tablet has come a long way since this time last year: HP's TouchPad came and went in a blaze of price cut-induced glory. Amazon, in the most direct and compelling challenge to Apple, put its weight behind the Kindle Fire. RIM, struggling, finally updated its PlayBook OS, adding native email support and Android app emulation.

But some things haven't changed. Apple's iPad is still the clear frontrunner, offering features that no other tablet has come close to replicating. But in spite of this, rival tablet makers persist, often to extreme extents. Here are the five biggest tablets set for release in the first half of 2012. Some are better than others, but all are vying to capture a chunk of the rapidly-changing tablet market.




 
Appropriately named, the biggest pull with the Transformer Pad Infinity is its ability to transform from a tablet to a notebook. Equipped with a metallic spun finish, the 8.5mm thick tablet runs Android 4.0 and carries an LTE radio and a ten hour battery life. 






 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)
Announced in February, the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) is a seven-inch tablet running on a dual-core 1 GHz processor and Android 4.0. Meant more as an iterative upgrade rather than anything particularly new, the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) is a solid choice for a tablet of its size.

 Asus Padfone
Similar to the Transformer Pad Infinity, Asus's Padfone is built on modularity. Asus wanted to create seamless experience between tablet and smartphone, which is why the phone will be sold alongside an 10-inch dockable tablet. We've seen a similar attempt with Motorola's Lapdock phones, and they didn't do so well. Perhaps the Padfone will fare a bit better.



 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
One of the most frequently heard criticisms of Samsung's well-intentioned Galaxy Note is that the device wasn't quite the (write) right size for its stylus functionality. Samsung seems to have responded to that criticism with the Galaxy Note 10.1, a larger device that may be able to better take advantage of stylus input
