Spot Contracts
This is buying currency immediately, or ‘on the spot’. If you need your currency as soon as possible a Spot Contract is the answer. You can agree to a price over the telephone, we then purchase the currency on your behalf and you settle with us immediately so we can wire your funds to your designated destination.
Forward Contracts
This is essentially a ‘buy now, pay later’ contract where a client can fix a rate based on today’s price for a future date. For example, if you are committed to making a payment overseas in a years time you may not want to watch the value of the payment changing each day as the currency rates fluctuate. If you want to know exactly what the payment is going to cost in a year, you could simply enter into a Forward Contract until the date the payment was due, and fix today’s price for a years time. You would need to put down a 10% deposit to secure the rate. In a year, when you want the funds delivered, you pay the remaining 90%. In the meantime you can rest assured that you know exactly what the payment will be and you are not at the mercy of the markets.
Market Orders
Globex can watch currency orders 24-hours via our global network of offices. As soon as your target is reached Globex can enter the market, purchase your currency and notify you as soon as your order has been activated.

2011 Lexus RX 450h Review
The 2011 RX 450h defines design, engineering and luxury innovation in the hybrid luxury crossover segment. As Lexus best-selling hybrid model, the RX 450h smoothly moves into 2011 with several new exterior colors after the second generation was introduced in 2010.
Walkaround
Based on Lexus L-finesse philosophy, the dramatically designed interior clearly separates the interior into two distinct zones the display zone to provide information, and the operation zone for interaction with controls. The shoulder of the door trim comfortably envelops the occupants, the clear line of the trim beginning inside the cabin and tapering outward toward the exterior. The design imbues a feeling of a continuous line encircling the occupants and defining the controls and displays. Neatly sculpted metallic surfaces, especially on the asymmetrical center stack, showcase a bold contrast of shadow and light.
Summary
All new Lexus vehicles come with a 48-month/50,000-mile basic limited warranty with roadside assistance for 48-months/unlimited miles. Powertrain and restraint system coverage is provided for 72 months/70,000 miles. Corrosion perforation protection is covered for 72 months, regardless of mileage. The hybrid-related components, including the HV battery, battery-control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter, are covered for eight years/100,000 miles.

2011 Toyota Camry Review
The 2011 Toyota Camry is a midsize 4-door sedan that is available in four models, entry level, LE, SE and XLE. The entry level Camry model is powered by a 2.4 Liter four cylinder engine that is rated at 158 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque. The entry level model is equipped with a five speed manual transmission. The fuel economy ratings of the Toyota Camry entry level model are 21 miles per gallon on city streets and 31 miles per gallon highway. The entry level model achieves a speed of 60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds. The LE, SE and XLE models are powered by a 3.5 Liter V6 engine that is rated at 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. All three models are equipped with a six speed manual transmission. The fuel economy ratings of the Toyota Camry LE, SE and XLE models are 19 miles per gallon on city streets and 28 miles per gallon highway. The Camry's closest competitors are the Audi A4, the Kia Optima, and the Volkswagen Passat.
Options
Models range from the well-equipped base Camry to the near-luxury Camry XLE.

All Camry models offer good EPA mileage ratings and low emissions in their respective categories.
Summary
Toyota's best-selling Camry became the people's car by excelling in quality and refinement, but has taken a PR hit after recalls in early 2010. Whether it's a base model or deluxe XLE, the four cylinder or V-6, the Camry delivers spacious comfort.

2011 Land Rover Range Rover Review
If you choose the supercharged, 5.0 liter, LR-V8 engine paired with the ZF HP28 6-speed automatic transmission, your new 2011 Land Rover Range Rover will be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in an amazing 5.9 seconds. The Hill Start Assist is an innovative new feature that makes going from a standstill to forward motion a smooth process with no back rolling. For steep, downhill grades, the Gradient Acceleration Control automatically pressurizes the brakes when the Hill Start Assist feature is not engaged to help the driver stay in control of the vehicle.
Under The Hood
The 2011 Land Rover Range Rover offers a 4.4 liter, V8 diesel engine with parallel sequential turbo charging in addition to its V6 models. With this increased power, Land Rover has still managed to increase the fuel mileage to 30.1 mpg which makes this the first Land Rover to break the 30 mph mark. In addition to the improved fuel economy, this new Range Rover has reduced CO2 emissions by 14 percent. The 2011 Range Rover has kept the ZF HP28 transmissions that were introduced in 2010.
Interior
The interior of the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover will satisfy even the pickiest of car shoppers. Depending on the model chosen, the luxury European leather that covers the headliner, pillars, and door casings is just the start of an opulent interior. The remainder of the interior trim features satin black and natural finished wood inlays. The luxury doesnt stop in the front of this vehicle. When you ride in the rear of the new Range Rover, you could enjoy electronically-reclining rear seats with heating and cooling functions plus four-way adjustable lumbar support. The back seat is no longer just a place for the kids. When you climb back into the drivers seat, youll be impressed with the instrument panel. Instead of traditional dials and gauges, youll see an innovative new 12-inch Thin Film Transistor screen that presents all necessary information in a series of virtual dials and graphical displays. If you need information thats not on the current display, simply move items around to make room for more data. Music lovers will be impressed with the optional 1200-watt Harman/Kardon audio system that features fifteen independent channels that drive nineteen premium speakers.
Summary
Youll enjoy the on and off-road capabilities of the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover. This vehicle offers it all in one attractive package. From the overall style of the exterior to the luxury of the interior, the Range Rover is a pleasure to all five senses. Enjoy the quick pickup of the diesel engine while taking advantage of the high torque available for crossing treacherous terrain. When you purchase this vehicle, you get all of this along with improved fuel economy and lower emissions.

2011 Porsche Panamera Review
The V-6 Panamera and its all-wheel-drive sibling offer 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration times are still quick--6.0 seconds to 60 mph for the rear-drive model and 5.8 seconds for the Panamera 4. You can shave another 0.2 seconds off each time with the addition of the Sport Chrono Package Plus option, which fits the PDK dual-clutch gearbox among other upgrades. Top speeds are 160 mph for the Panamera and 159 mph for the Panamera 4. Power The least-powerful Panamera also is the best-handling one, partly due to the fact that the V-6 is some 60 pounds lighter than the V-8, according to Porsche, removing some heft from the front of the car. The standard suspension is steel, and wed describe it as dry and honest. The cars full potential is unleashed by the optional Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and air suspension, which allow you to switch the characteristics of the chassis among comfort, sport, and sport plus. Further adding Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control effectively eliminates body roll, and a torque-vectoring system makes the Panamera feel more agile via targeted braking on each rear wheel. With the full set of options, the Panamera feels as if it could drive circles around other luxury sedans. Turn-in is precise, although we think the speed-sensitive Servotronic steering should have more weight at lower velocities. But you always feel in control, and there is none of the artificial feel that can characterize the active steering in some Audi and BMW models.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Review
If you notice hints of Panamera, it's no mistake. The sculpted hood, headlights, and grille mimic Porsche's other contentious model. Dimensionally, the Cayenne is 1.9-inches longer than its predecessor overall with a 1.6-inch longer wheelbase. More interior passenger and cargo space are the result, Porsche points out. Its backend gets restyled LED taillights, also very reminiscent of the Panamera's wide, curvaceous units. But the longer body doesn't necessarily mean more mass. Thanks to a new all-wheel drive setup and the use of new materials (Porsche wasn't specific), the range as a whole is promised to be lighter and more efficient.
Walkaround
A decoupling clutch connects the engine to the electric motor and ensures a smooth transition of power throughout the driving cycle. Electric power can propel the Cayenne at speeds up to 40 mph, according to Porsche. It can also "sail" on the highway by shutting down the V-6 at speeds up to 97 mph. The entry-level Cayenne maintains its 3.6-liter V-6, but thanks to a few tweaks and eight-speed transmission, it gets 10 more horses (for a total of 300-horsepower) and is 20 percent more fuel efficient on the combined European cycle. Occupying the middle ground is a more powerful 400-horsepower (up 15 ponies) Cayenne S. Its 4.8-liter V-8's fuel efficiency is 23 percent better than last year's model. Same goes for the Cayenne Turbo's 500-horsepower V-8. Interestingly, there was no word yet on the autobahn-eating 550-horserpower Turbo S or sportier GTS. The modern design continues inside. With more room to work with, engineers implemented a high center console between the two front passengers. Like the Panamera, it bears an elongated form, with a litany of control buttons set below and on either side of the Tiptronic lever. The leather dash gets a TFT screen capable of controlling all the pertinent in-cabin goodies. It's flanked by tall aluminum-surrounded HVAC vents. The whole is attractive, in true Porsche style. A huge chunk of weight came out of the body, too, with 86 pounds eliminated through redesigned doors, 42 from a lighter interior, 22 from different electrical components, and 17 from various body-shell changes and other structural-attachment efficiencies. Despite these weight reductions, overall structural stiffness was increased by 15 percent, says Porsche. The difference between the sum of all these figures and the actual reduction amount is the additional content and reinforcement that had to be added in order to meet various legal requirements. Reducing a vehicles weight while adding content is quite an achievement.
Summary
With this second-generation Cayenne, Porsche has taken to heart many of the criticisms of the previous model. Most important, the company has taken about 400 pounds out of the Cayenne. About 70 pounds of that come from the elimination of the two-speed transfer case. Instead, the new model gets an eight-speed automatic with a lower first-gear ratio and more sophisticated traction control. About 65 pounds were found in other engine and powertrain reductions. Greater use of aluminum in the chassis yielded 72 pounds, lighter wheels and tires shaved 17 more, an electric parking brake dropped 13, and structural efficiencies eliminated 42 pounds.

2011 Lexus LX570 Review
The Lexus LX 570 is a full- size truck-based SUV that seats up to eight people in three rows. Standard luxury features include a navigation system and four-zone air conditioning. Competitors include other luxury SUVs like the Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GL550.
Walkaround
A brake override system is available, and there are minor interior and exterior changes. The front of the LX 570 is dominated by a large grille and angular headlights. The corners of the SUV are rounded, and the smooth body panels are free of cladding. Even with these styling cues, however, it maintains the general look of a traditional SUV.Leather-trimmed seats and interior surfaces are standard, and the front bucket seats have power-extending seat cushions. The second-row bench seat is split 40/20/40, and it comes standard with a power-sliding feature that lets it move forward or backward 4.1 inches. The standard power-operated third row is split 50/50, and its halves fold upward along the side walls. The third row is similar to the current crop of crossovers in that the cushions are rather close to the floor, which can be uncomfortable.
Summary
The SUV is available with the optional Pre-Collision System that detects impending collisions via radar and tightens seat belts before impact. Typically, these features activate along with the airbags once the "crash event" has begun.

2011 BMW X5 M REVIEW
As is typical for a BMW, the X5s mid-cycle styling update is so subtle as to require a side-by-side comparison for most people to tell the difference. So you dont have to open any more browser windows, here are the 2011 changes in a nutshell: The hood and grille are carry-over, but the plastic front fenders now meet a full-width and painted front bumper skin containing larger apertures and a scuff-plate-look metallic lower trim piece. New headlamps feature LED rings (a.k.a. angel eyes) and the fog lamps are set higher and more inboard. In back, the bumper cap has been reshaped to match the look of the one up front, complete with the faux scuff plate. Chrome-trimmed taillamps also now adopt the bitchin LED light banks now found on the rumps of most BMW models. Toss in new exhaust tips, and the transformation is basically complete.
OPTIONS
For 2011, the X5 xDrive35i will be available inwhats this?three trim levels (yes, trim levels on a BMW!). The lineup starts with the essential X5 xDrive35i, which will be available for $1800 less than last years base model, at $46,675. The X5 xDrive35i Premium brings 19-inch wheels, USB and iPod integration, privacy glass, leather seats, and a $52,475 price tag, as well as access to several options such as the Convenience package, Active Ventilated Seat package, Cold Weather package, Technology package, and third-row jump seats. At the top of the xDrive35i range sits the $54,975 X5 xDrive35i Sport Activity, which features 20-inch wheels, sport seats, and darkened trim on the headliner and around the windows. The M Sport package becomes available on this trim, adding performance tires, BMWs Adaptive Drive system, slight aero-inspired styling tweaks, and sundry M-branded interior bits.
SUMMARY
BMWs refreshed X5 continues in its quest for total perfection in the luxury crossover/SUV realm by incorporating engine and drivetrain improvements that continue to keep the Sport Activity Vehicle, or whatever they want to call it, relevant in an extremely competitive segment. If your bottom line is healthy, our bottom line says its definitely a ute worthy of your consideration.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 Convertible Review
The E-Class convertible has exactly the same exterior dimensions as the E-Class coupe, and like the CLK line before it, is based on Benz's C-Class platform architecture (yes, despite the fact that it's being called an "E"). Passengers are also likely to appreciate Mercedes' new AirCap, a feature that consists of two components: a wind deflector that extends from the top of the windshield by 2.4 inches and a draft-stop between the rear seats. AirCap reduces the draft at speeds up to 100 mph, making passengers more comfortable and able to hear each other talk when the top is down. Also present is Mercedes' Airscarf, a feature first introduced on the SL roadster, which shoots warm air around the neck through directable outlets in the front passengers' head restraints.
Going Topless
The convertible top remains soft on the new E-Class Cabriolet, but the benefit is quicker operation than you'll typically get on retractable hard-top convertibles. You can open or close it in 20 seconds at speeds of up to 25 mph. When open-air motoring is desired, the cabriolet roof folds into a special compartment behind the rear seat panel. A retractable cover separates the soft top compartment from the trunk area, and it must be closed in order to stow the roof. When the roof is closed, the cover can be slid rearwards, and trunk capacity increased by 3.17 cubic feet to 13.8 cubic feet. The E-Class coupe offers 15.9 cubes. A pass-through loading feature is included as standard equipment for the new cabriolet, as is Easy-Entry a manually operated entry and exit aid for the rear passengers.
Engine and Safety
Engines are carryovers in the 2011 E-Class convertible, so don't look for Mercedes' new direct-injected CGI powerplants at launch. Instead, you'll have your choice of the E350 convertible with its 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and the E550 Cab with it 382-hp 5.5-liter V8, either one with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The E-Class convertible is also the first Mercedes cabrio to offer head airbags. Safety is increased by reinforced A-pillars and other braces.

2011 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Review
Initially designed to replace the boxy, dated, but still rugged G-Class sports utility vehicles, the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class takes on an entirely different role in the Mercedes-Benz lineup by taking on the Cadillac Escalade, Audi Q7 and Lexus GX470.The GL-Class is essentially a stretched and somewhat squared off version of the smaller ML-Class vehicles. They share the ML's fully independent suspension, uni body construction and some power train choices.A recent face lift for the GL-class resulted in redesigned bumpers, front grille, faux skid plates and LED tail lamps pair up with revised alloy wheels in 19 to 21-inch diameters, depending on trim and equipment levels.The GL receives Mercedes' PRE-SAFE system, which prepares the vehicle and occupants for an impending collision.Inside, the GL gets a new instrument panel and steering wheel, as well as revised active head restraints for the front passenger and driver.Standard on the GL320 CDI is a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine that puts out 210 horsepower and an impressive 400 lb-ft. of torque, the highest of any GL model. Though not certified for sale in states that follow California or Northeast emissions rules in the United States, the GL320 CDI is available elsewhere, where buyers will discover 23 MPG fuel economy on the highway and effortless power around town while obtaining 17 miles per gallon. That performance is due in part to a seven-speed automatic transmission, which is standard on all GL-Class models.With three rows of passenger seats as standard, the GL is capable of seating up to seven passengers. Standard features on all models include power, heated leather seats, wood trim, a CD changer and automatic climate control.

2011 Mercedes-Benz S- Class Review
Mercedes-Benz's flagship S-Class sedan added the S400 Hybrid last year, and for 2011 it will introduce the S350 Bluetec, a 50- state turbocharged diesel model. The S-Class shares luxury-sedan real estate with competitors like the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series and Bentley Continental Flying Spur.
Walkaround
The S-Class received minor styling changes for 2010 but has retained the same basic appearance.Chrome and wood accents adorn the inside of the S-Class, which has room for up to five people. As opposed to a console-located gearshift, the driver selects Park, Drive and Reverse via a stalk on the right side of the steering column. Drivers who wish to manually control the automatic transmission can use shift paddles on the steering wheel.
Summary
In addition to the hybrid V-6 and new diesel V-6, available engines include two V-8s and two V-12s, all of which team with automatic transmissions.

Build Your 2012 Land Rover
Fresh off the design boards: Introducing the EVOQUE, Land Rover's third model to depart from the British manufacturer, who are very confident this little SUV will open up new markets and end up as its biggest-seller to date. The stylish Evoque, which falls in line between the stately RR, and Range Rover Sport, is scheduled to hit the ground roughly 45 days from now (January 29th-ish).

Please call us today toll free at 1-866-596-2008 or 310-860-8986.
Overview
Stylistically, the Evoque inherited a lot of the design traits from the Land Rover LRX concept at the Detroit Show in 2008, with the same aspects-proportions, stance, and other concept-esque’ touches: 20-inch wheels, rounded sheet-metal surfaces, and other misc. external jewelry. At 171.3 inches long, and 63.1 inches high, the Evoque is roughly 17 inches shorter than the Range Rover Sport V8, 7.1 inches lower, and a whopping 1700 pounds lighter.
Interior
The interior is strictly a four-seat, but lavishly appointed. Optional specs include soft-stitched leather to gift-wrap the dash and door casings. The visible metallic surfaces are in fact, actually metal, with ambient lighting to keep up with the manufacturers perceived quality. There are echoes of the LRX cabin, though the design in the Evoque is 10,000 times more practical.
Under The Hood
Gear heads will find a new 240-HP version of Ford’s Ecoboost four. With direct gas injection, twin variable valve timing, and twin balance shafts, drivers can expect a high level of performance and economy numbers while suffering little refinement compromise over a six.
Summary
Range Rover has traditionally been the luxo SUV brand with the highest commitment to off-roadability. That makes the Evoque crossover-coupe all the more of a departure. Its design is definitely style first, utility second, and its dynamic emphasis leans very much toward on-road dynamics. That just shows how the world is changing. But the luxury angle is very much intact.

2011 Ford F-150 Review
The 2011 Ford F-150 full- size pickup truck is available in three body styles: regular cab, extended cab ("SuperCab") and crew cab ("SuperCrew"). Cargo box size choices vary as well: Regular cabs come with a 6.5-foot or 8-foot cargo bed, while SuperCabs can have either of those or a garage-friendly 5.5- footer. The SuperCrew can have either the 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot bed. Reverse- opening rear doors are standard on regular and SuperCabs for easier cab access, while SuperCrews have four full-size doors.
Walkaround
The new SVT Raptor is also about performance, but this time around it's for off-, not on-road applications. The Raptor boasts an optional 6.2- liter V8 (not available on early production models), special off-road tires, a revised suspension with wider front and rear tracks, enhanced wheel travel, specialized shock absorbers, an electronically locking rear differential, sport seats and exclusive exterior and interior styling.
Summary
The off-road-ready SVT Raptor extended cab hits the trail with an optional 6.2-liter V8 (not available on early production models), specialized wheels and tires, a heavily modified suspension, sport seats and exclusive exterior and interior styling.
