2008 Mercedes Estate 2007-11-03 14:50:00 Sooner or later, it seems that gas prices here in the U.S. might catch up to those in Europe. If that happens, we’ll all be fleeing our SUVs and crossovers as though they were wired with dynamite. What will be there to shelter and transport us, our children, and all those fabulous Ikea scores we had stashed in the Exploder?
If our minds were more open to wagons, we’d be able to plop merrily Read more:Mercedes

2008 C300 Sport Is The Best For Its Price 2007-11-03 14:11:00 The 2008 Mercedes C300 Sport is one of the best models that we have seen from them so far. It has been given several technical upgrade to the interior – which is something that we don’t see very often in a C-Class. The CL550 isn’t looking to get upgraded like this for at least two more years.
Mercedes-Benz seriously updated its C-class for 2008 and now offers the C300 Sport, the C300 Luxury, and
2007 Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 by SVT 2007-11-02 08:27:00 The most powerful factory-built Ford Mustang in history will take to the street next year, following a unique collaboration between performance car legend Carroll Shelby
and the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT).
Ford took the wraps off the 450-plus horsepower Ford Shelby Cobra
GT500 show car at the New Year International Auto Show March 23. Designed in the unmistakable image of Shelby Mustangs
2007 Ford Mustang Expert Review 2007-11-02 08:08:00 The Mustang
remains one of the most widely recognized, respected, and desired nameplates in the automobile business. The Ford Mustang defined the pony-car segment in 1964; Plymouth's Barracuda may have beaten Ford to the showroom by 16 days, but it was the Mustang that set the sales records. The 'Cuda is gone now, and so are the Camaro, Firebird, Cougar, Javelin, Challenger, and every other Read more:Expert
The Grows of Shelby Legend 2007-11-02 07:50:00 Ford says the 2007 Shelby
Cobra GT500 Mustang (this is not the 2006 Shelby GT500 Cobra Mustang) will be the most powerful factory-built Mustang in history, more powerful than the 1969 Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet or even the legendary 1969 Boss 429.
Think about that for a second. Let it sink in. Take a knee if you have to, but the reality is this: When this car hits the streets during the summer Read more:Legend
2007 BMW M6 - Previews 2007-11-01 12:37:00 When the 2007 M6 is trucked to BMW showrooms next May, it will mark 20 years since the U.S. debut of the first M-division-massaged 6-series. Things have truly changed in those 20 years. Back then, an alien named ALF and four postmenopausal Golden Girls passed as TV entertainment for the masses, and 256 horsepower and a 0-to-60 time of 6.1 seconds were stimulating enough to land the first M6 on
2007 Ford Mustang Review 2007-11-01 12:23:00 High-performance Shelby GT and Shelby GT500 variants join base and GT models in the Mustang
stable for 2007. The Shelby GT comes only as a coupe, other models are also available as convertibles with a power fabric top and heated glass rear window. Base versions have a 210-hp V6, GTs a 300-hp V8, Shelby GTs a 319-hp V8, and Shelby GT500s a supercharged 500-hp V8. Base, GT, and Shelby GT are
Volvo S80 SE Sport 2007-10-31 09:35:00 As a general rule, you do not buy a Volvo because you want a sleek motorway cruiser or a machine that grips like a rabbit in flight. You buy one because you have many children, and because you occasionally need to transport wardrobes.
So why, you may be wondering, have they made the car you see in the pictures this morning? An all-wheel-drive saloon car with a big V8 at the front and no space
Maserati GranTurismo 2007-10-31 09:27:00 It is a pity that there is apparently no loophole in UK law that would allow the new 4.2litre V8 MaseratiGranTurismo
— one of the world’s most handsome four-seat coupés — to be classed as a motorcycle, because if it was, it would not require a front numberplate. The alternative is plainly for Maserati vigorously to lobby MPs and get the Vehicle Aesthetics (Full Frontal, Particularly Maserati) Read more:Maserati GranTurismo
2009 Chevrolet Camaro Review 2007-10-31 09:09:00 We are all excited to see the official 2009 Camaro up close and in person – but we never thought that anyone would actually get emotionally attached to it. It seems though that Bob Lutz – GM’s Vice chairman – was so excited to see the first fully finished prototype that he literally “ran over to it, and hugged it”.
“I have the photo to prove it — but of course we can’t show it to you just yet,” Read more:Chevrolet
Subaru Tribeca is the best crossover 2007-10-27 12:36:00 The 2008 SubaruTribeca
was named best resale value in the crossover
utility vehicle segment by Automotive Lease Guide (ALG). The Subaru brand remains an industry leader in residual value, ranking fourth overall in ALG’s Industry Brand Residual Value Rankings. ALG ranks brands and vehicles predicted to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a conventional three-year lease

2008 Audi Q7 3.6 Hybrid Prototype 2007-10-26 10:07:00 There’s no doubt that hybrid electric drives are an important part of the American automotive market. Though diesel technologies now encompass more than 50% of the European car market and are expected to grow in popularity here in the USA as new models become available, there’s no denying that hybrids are well entrenched as the frontrunner in green technologies in this market. Audi knows this, Read more:Hybrid

Four-door Coupe by Porsche 2007-10-26 09:58:00 Take a look at what's set to be one of the most controversial cars of the decade - Porsche
's long-awaited Panamera. These renderings, commissioned for the Bulgarian edition of Top Gear magazine, give us the best idea yet of what the likely 'love it or hate it' coupe-like four-door will look like. The last of the four pictures is Porsche's official sketch of the Panamera from a couple of years Read more:Coupe
Porsche 911 GT2 Testdrive 2007-10-03 03:08:00 What is it?
The latest episode in Porsche
’s turbo-nutter-911 saga: The Widowmaker, part III. Predictably, it follows part I (993 GT2: wonderful) and part II (996 GT2: not so wonderful). It also follows the same basic recipe as before –take a 911 Turbo, remove the front driveshafts and some kerbweight, then poke the motor until it produces some more shocking numbers. That means 523bhp, 501lb ft
Audi Q7 Review 2007-10-03 02:15:00 The Audi Q7 is a big car in many respects. As well as its physical size, it also has a big heart, which is about to get even bigger, but more of that later.
For now, the largest engine available is the 4.2 V8, which comes in both petrol (FSI) and diesel (TDI) versions. The TDI is a recent addition to the existing 3.0 TDI, 3.6 FSI V6 units and the 4.2 FSI.
The 4.2 TDI boasts twin turbochargers
Opel Corsa GSi Photos 2007-10-02 08:47:00 Opel released a new set of photos of the new Opel Corsa
GSi plus a more detailed press release. The Corsa GSi is powered by a less powerful version of 1.6 liter turbo engine which currently equip the Corsa OPC.

2007 Porsche 911 Targa 4S 2007-09-22 08:57:00 I'm driving my house.
Now, before you get visions of a cheesy mid-Seventies Winnebago with high-speed internet, the house reference is specific to fair market value on Casa Clark, assuming about 40-large in reno's. The vehicle is a 2007 Porsche
911 Targa 4S, with an 'entry' sticker sucker-punch of $133,200. Ouch. Then throw on about another 20-large for 'personalization'. Ouchie McOuch.

VW Tiguan Review 2007-09-22 08:41:00 If you're going to show up late to the party, you'd better at least bring something worth waiting for. A decade or so after Toyota and Honda arrived on the scene with their appealing car-based compact SUVs, Volkswagen has finally arrived with its homemade treat in hand, the 2008 Tiguan. But if you're thinking, "Yeah, the world really needs a re-bodied and lifted Golf," then guess again.

VW Scirocco 2007-09-22 08:37:00 I think this one looks pretty close. Maybe a bit too low to the ground for a production car.
VW had announced earlier this year they would not import the next Scirocco to the US.
Being afraid of it competing with the GTI. But I have also heard since about US dealers complaining about this bonehead decision.
So we might get it after all.
I really like the 2 door wagon look. Chevy was supposed
2008 Audi A8 Test Drive 2007-09-21 09:30:00 Our 2008 Audi A8 is just one in a long convoy that whisks through Karlsfeld, a small suburb about 50 klicks outside Munich. It's just after dawn on a Thursday morning and the small town is cloaked in thick fog. Twenty sets of xenon headlights cut through the haze and the bicycle commuters stop to watch our cavalcade roar across the cobblestone streets.
They probably assume that our big sedans Read more:Test Drive
2008 Fiat Nuovo Croma Review 2007-11-09 15:29:00 The Nuova Croma makes its debut, the Station Wagon as Fiat sees it, a car full of innovation and substance, with new styling and a more rational range. It can boast both second generation Multijet engines and a lavish array of comfort, safety and infotainment equipment.
The Nuova Croma is a benchmark for its segment, with an amazingly roomy interior, and an excellent level of ‘well-being on
Porsche Cayenne Turbo 2007-11-09 15:24:00 Using Rinspeed components, the Russian tuner GTR-Auto decided to modify the Porsche
Cayenne Turbo
in a “”greener way”. GTR-Auto did quite a good job transforming the ordinary Cayenne Turbo in an special car. At the exterior the Porsche received a stylish sport pack with 4 exhaust pipes and some 20″ wheels while at the interior everything is so colorfull…The Russian tuner made a risky job by
BMW M6 Rebirth 2007-11-05 16:23:00 It has been 15 years since the 2007 BMW M6 last graced these shores. With the new M6, which is based on the new 6 Series, the engineers from BMW M GmbH have created a truly awe inspiring sports coupe.

2007 BMW M6 General Overview 2007-11-05 16:11:00 Understated style. Uncompromising power. The M6 Coupe is that elusive beast that combines both.
Its athletic profile – classic BMW lines, aggressively sharpened – is a jolting reminder that the joy of driving can take hold even before you’ve left the curb. And the well appointed, surprisingly spacious, interior is designed for your absolute comfort with contoured M sport seats whose sleek, Read more:General

Modern Design: Audi TT 2007-11-11 07:00:00 But despite its evolutionary style, this is a ground-up redesign built upon the VW Golf (Rabbit)/Audi A3 chassis. Significant structural enhancements went into the topless two-seat Roadster to make it as fun to drive as the 2+2 hardtop Coupe. Extensive use of aluminum and steel throughout the Roadster chassis banished any dreaded convertible cowl-a mighty feat, given that Audi engineers managed Read more:Modern
