Mercedes has just made an announcement regarding a new powerplant they want to fit on their SLK roadster that will simply annoy enthusiast drivers.

Lexus set out with the CT200h to undo the bad image of hybrids, the cheap image of hatchbacks and basically offer the perfect car. Since they didn’t do “that” well in the reviews and not a lot of people are interested in it, the Japanese luxury brand is trying to improve it in order to

The Japanese at Honda are still taking their time in what is the process of unveiling the 2012 Civic’s European version. On the brighter side however, there’s something in seeing it about for us as well because every time we catch a set of spyshots, the company tells us what’s going on with the development.
America’s best selling car (non-pickup) for several years generates so much media and customer interest that it really isn’t something a manufacturer can keep hidden for too long. This general truth was confirmed today as the Canadian Auto Guide magazine released the first images, along with some specs of what the 2012 Toyota Camry is
That next generation of the Lexus GS is still scheduled for a Pebble Beach release is starting to give us the first few winks to the public. These teasers come directly from the Japanese company and, as you’d imagine for a pre-show setup, they reveal pretty much nothing about the 2012 Lexus GS but we
General Motors has big plans with Buick’s image and portfolio improvement and we find that just a couple of months after the release of the LaCrosse eAssist we’re getting a new fuel sipping model.

Ford’s F-150 pickup is and has been for several years the market leader for a considerable deal of years and it has achieved this by having several important strong points.

After a quick preview from Porsche themselves, the next generation of the 911, the 2012 one, was just spotted almost undisguised out on the public roads. Mind you, undisguised means you can figure out most of the body shape of the 2012 Porsche 911, but as far as the headlights and tail lamps are concerned
The Japanese seem to have quite big ambitions for the next generation of the mid-sized luxury sedan that they call the Lexus GS since they plan to unveil it at Pebble Beach. Spyshots we’ve been seeing of the 2012 Lexus GS didn’t really fill us with confidence and it doesn’t do any good to look
Supercars and all are very interesting, yet we know that the world is actually full of cheap, slow and practical cars so the Nissan Versa is quite the important car. For quite some time now it was America’s cheapest car and further more, it made for a great milestone as a sub 10.000 dollar car.
Seat’s performance oriented lineup is about to get one new entry and it’s going to be a hot(ter) version of their small Ibiza. Small is becoming a relative term when referring to cars these days because the 2012 Seat Ibiza ST FR is now a mini estate. The new hotted up small estates was spotted
Tuning companies of sufficient pedigree, the likes of ABT Sportsline, have gotten to a point where they preview new releases ahead of the motor shows at which they will be unveiling them.
