The TSX sports sedan complements the sporty TL and the luxurious RL in Acura''s lineup of performance luxury sedans. The TSX is positioned as a stepping stone to other Acura products and provides luxury sedan buyers with an entry point to the Acura brand.
\r\n\r\nThe front-wheel drive TSX was engineered and appointed to compete with Europe''s best sedans in the sporty near-luxury segment (the European D segment). This segment includes cars like the Audi A4 and the BMW 3 Series.
\r\n\r\nIn keeping with its European competitors, the TSX driving character is sharply focused on the sporty end of the scale. Its double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension has sophisticated geometry that helps the TSX corner flat and resist acceleration lift and braking dive. In addition, the TSX has P215/50R17 Michelin MXM4 V-rated tires, 4-wheel disc brakes, and an impressive arsenal of electronic driver aids including Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). A highly refined power rack-and-pinion steering system provides outstanding road feel that rivals the best Europe can offer. The takeaway for the driver is an ultra-competent entry luxury sports sedan that''s immensely fun to drive.
\r\n\r\nFor 2006, Acura made significant changes to the TSX to enhance its performance, exterior styling and interior sophistication. The result is a sports sedan that is more luxurious, sportier and even more fun to drive.
\r\n\r\nModifications to the intake, exhaust and emissions systems were made to the TSX''s 2.4-liter i-VTEC(TM) four cylinder engine. These changes boost power from 200 hp at 6,800 rpm to 205 hp SAE net (Rev 8/04) at 7,000 rpm and help to make the TSX sportier and even more agile.
\r\n\r\nFor the 2006 model year, all Acura horsepower and torque specifications have been updated to reflect revised Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1349 (Rev 8/04) net calculations that went into affect in January of 2005. These new calculations reflect a number of significant changes in the way horsepower and torque are measured and may cause SAE net horsepower and torque totals published in 2006 media materials to differ from the figures published in previous years. To avoid confusion, all 2006 Acura press materials will specify "SAE net (Rev 8/04)" after all horsepower and torque figures to denote adherence to the new standards.
\r\n\r\nThe 2006 TSX is available with either a 6-speed manual transmission (with a lightweight magnesium case) or a 5-speed SportShift(TM) automatic that offers quick and precise gear changes. Thanks to its i-VTEC(TM) intelligent variable valve timing and lift, the engine provides a broad, useable powerband that''s uncommon in a 4-cylinder engine, together with a stirring high-rpm power rush. The TSX engine is backed by 40 years of Honda international racing experience in Formula One, CART, Indy Car and Grand Prix motorcycles.
\r\n\r\nFor 2006, exterior styling changes have been made to enhance the TSX''s bold demeanor while retaining the sporty character that has made it a hot seller since its debut in 2003. Exterior enhancements include restyled front and rear fascias and side sills, a new wheel design and the addition of bumper-integrated fog lights. Four new exterior colors have been added: Alabaster Silver Metallic, Deep Green Pearl, Royal Blue Pearl and Silver Stone Metallic.
\r\n\r\nCreature comforts include a dual-zone climate control system and a power moonroof with sliding shade. Steering-wheel mounted switches control the standard 360-watt Premium Sound System, 6-disc in-dash CD changer, cruise control and functions of the optional latest-generation Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition(TM).
\r\n\r\nThe interior of the 2006 TSX has been enhanced through the addition of several key new features including the HandsFreeLink(TM) wireless phone interface, an auxiliary jack for digital music players and Acura''s Smart Maintenance System. In addition, the navigation system was upgraded and a sportier steering wheel was applied.

One new body-color choice is offered. Significant performance and styling enhancements were developed for 2005.
\r\n\r\nIn base form, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder generates 155 horsepower, in accordance with new testing standards established by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The performance-focused Type-S edition is now rated at 201 hp. A lower final drive ratio with the six-speed-manual gearbox in the Type-S, introduced for 2005, was intended to deliver quicker acceleration.
\r\n\r\nBoth front-wheel-drive hatchback models use track-tuned suspensions that were enhanced for 2005 with reduced ride height, retuned bushings and thicker stabilizer bars. To produce handling traits that complement its increased engine output, the Type-S features firmer springs and dampers and a larger front stabilizer.
\r\n\r\nDesigned with a particularly curvaceous profile, the RSX coupe has a pentagonal grille that resembles other Acura models. Tri-beam headlights, body-colored side sills and lower, rectangular air ducts are used.
\r\n\r\nThe body displays chiseled accent lines and features short front and rear overhangs. Compound-curved window glass complements thin A- and B-pillars to improve visibility.
\r\n\r\nP205/55R16 tires on the base model are mounted on five-spoke alloy wheels. The Type-S rides on P215/45R17 tires. A power moonroof is standard, and the Type-S coupe gets a deck-lid spoiler.
\r\n\r\nFour people fit inside the RSX, which features two front bucket seats and a 50/50-split, folding rear seat. Base-model upholstery is fabric, but the Type-S gets perforated leather. Large gauges are grouped in a pod that''s angled toward the driver. The seats gained more-supportive bolstering for 2005. A leather-wrapped steering wheel is installed, and a seven-speaker Bose stereo system with an in-dash six-CD changer goes into the Type-S. Cargo volume totals 16 cubic feet.
\r\n\r\nThe 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in the base RSX produces 155 hp. The Type-S gets a stronger four-cylinder that generates 201 hp at 7,800 rpm and 140 pounds-feet of torque at 7,000 rpm; it requires premium fuel.
\r\n\r\nA five-speed-manual transmission is standard in the base model. The optional five-speed automatic has a manual-shift provision and incorporates Grade Logic Control, which holds the proper gear on steep grades and minimizes unnecessary shifting. The Type-S comes only with a close-ratio six-speed-manual gearbox.
\r\n\r\nStandard equipment includes all-disc antilock brakes, side-impact airbags, occupant-position and height sensors for the front passenger, front seat belt pretensioners and a LATCH system for child-safety seats.

It''s low and sleek for a hatchback coupe, not excessively sporty or styled. Acura''s quality control is top-notch, so everything on the RSX fits right and is tight as a drum.
\r\n\r\nThe majority of the accessories that make up the A-Spec package are visible on the outside of the RSX-S. An "A-Spec" badge gets installed below the RSX-S logo on the back. 17" alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama rubber dress the corners. The body kit includes front, rear and side underbody spoilers, and a prominent High Wing Spoiler on the back deck. In high speed situations, a wing provides downforce and stabilize your ride. The A-Spec wing isn''t excessive. Like all of the A-Spec accessories, it''s well constructed and integrated with rest of the car. Still, I would skip the wing if I bought an RSX. I''d just be way too self-conscious.
\r\n\r\nDriving a car with underbody spoilers, you have to be very careful when you park and when you encounter speed bumps. An average curb can be a hazard, and a wicked speed bump could devastate your investment. If your driveway has a steep approach angle, you''d better find street parking for your RSX, or you''ll be cleaning up plastic shards.
\r\n\r\nThe A-Spec package doesn''t touch the interior – the RSX-S doesn''t need it. The interior is tasteful and well-appointed, though compared to the rest of the Acura line, it''s virtually stark. That''s okay with me – the RSX-S is a driver''s car. The gauges are big, clear and intelligently located. The climate controls are simple, big knobs, and they''re high on the dash for easy access. The dash is non-reflective so you get less glare on the steep windshield.
\r\n\r\nI love a driver''s seat that wraps around my sides like a hug. The RSX-S seats are shaped like racing seats, but have great adjustment. Real racing seats are usually fixed, and don''t offer the kind of angle changes that you get in a luxury car. Perforated leather makes for a great seating surface.
\r\n\r\nForget about the back seat – you don''t want to put any human beings back there, and a child safety seat would be too hard to get to. Send the kids in the minivan – the RSX is your car.
\r\n\r\nIf you do have to pick up some groceries, though, the RSX has impressive cargo space – 16 cubic feet – and you can fold down the 50/50 split rear seat to make even more room. Amaze your friends – when you open the rear hatch, the RSX looks like it splits in half, ready to swallow a HUMMER whole.
\r\n\r\nA-Spec accessories don''t make any appearances under the hood of the RSX-S either. The 16 valve 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine pumps out a decent amount of power – 201 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. You''ve got to get the revs up to really hit the sweet spot – peak hp doesn''t arrive until 7800 rpm, and peak torque hits at 7000 rpm. That means that you''re sawing through the six manual gears frequently, trying to keep the engine happy. If you love to clutch and shift, if you''re great at heel/toe maneuvers, you''ll love driving the RSX-S. I wish that the RSX-S had a short-throw shifter option – the spindly shifter stalk has to go. While we''re wishing, I also wish for more horsepower and torque to go with the A-Spec package. Where''s the supercharger? Where''s the turbo option?
\r\n\r\nThe A-Spec does upgrade the suspension to a "sport suspension." Whatever those components are, they work like a dream. The RSX-S feels planted to the road, yet still has enough compliance to make rough pavement and bumps disappear. Maybe that''s why there''s no turbo option – this car has excellent balance between its power and its handling performance. Many enthusiasts scoff at front-wheel drive. In a well-sorted package like the RSX-S, front-wheel drive is a blast.

High quality ebony-colored Zebra wood garnishes the center console and door switches and refined Satin Chrome accents are added to models equipped with the Touring Package. The MDX also adds a new exterior color, Amazon Green Metallic.
\r\n\r\nOutstanding performance has always been a fundamental Acura character trait. The development of Acura''s first in-house designed and engineered SUV presented the opportunity for the engineers to sidestep the shortcomings of products already on the market and begin with a fresh approach to the SUV equation. That approach was to create the first no-compromise SUV - melding attractive design, unmatched versatility, driving exhilaration, social responsibility, and value in one neatly wrapped package.
\r\n\r\nThe MDX is powered by a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine, tuned to deliver an outstanding 253 peak horsepower SAE net (8/04)* at 5800 rpm and 250 lbs-ft of torque SAE net (rev 8/04) at 3500 rpm. Providing V-8-like power, this engine is coupled to a compact 5-speed automatic transmission and a drive-by-wire throttle system (DBW) that deliver precise shifts and reduced shift shock. The MDX''s standard VTM-4 four-wheel drive system works seamlessly with the DBW and the standard Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system to enhance performance on low traction surfaces, and enhance stability in all conditions.
\r\n\r\nThe MDX''s 4500-pound boat towing package (3500-pound for trailers) was achieved by tuning the powertrain and chassis systems to manage heavy loads with confidence. This vehicle''s wider-than-normal stance, high-torque engine, wide-ratio 5-speed automatic transmission, and powerful brakes yield a highly competent tow vehicle.
\r\n\r\nFor the 2006 model year, horsepower and torque specifications for all Acura models have been updated in press materials to reflect the revised Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1349 (Rev 8/04) net calculations. These new specifications reflect a number of significant differences from the old test procedures and may cause horsepower and torque totals published in 2006 media materials to differ from the figures published in previous years.

Developed out of years of racing experience, the NSX sets the benchmark for Acura technology, combining world-class performance and styling with exceptional drivability and refinement.
\r\n\r\nThe Acura NSX offers two distinct, mid-ship mounted powertrains. The first is a lightweight, all-aluminum 3.2 liter, DOHC, 24-valve, 90-degree V-6 engine coupled with a 6-speed, close-ratio manual transmission producing 290 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque. The second is a 3.0 liter DOHC, 24-valve V-6 engine with a 4-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission that generates 252 horsepower and 210 lb.-ft. of torque.
\r\n\r\nBoth Acura NSX engines are equipped with Acura''s patented VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control), a Variable Volume Induction System, direct ignition and a computerized Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system pioneered in Formula One racing. The NSX engine also features titanium connecting rods, which are stronger and lighter than comparable steel connecting rods.
\r\n\r\nTo complement these innovative powertrains, the Acura NSX chassis features an all-aluminum unit body construction that is 40 percent lighter, yet has the rigidity of a steel structure. The 4-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension features aluminum-alloy control arms and hub carriers that minimize unsprung weight and provide optimum handling. The suspension also features aluminum subframes for the front and rear suspension to further reduce weight. Forged-aluminum alloy wheels reduce unsprung weight while super high performance tires - 215/40 R17 in front and 255/40 R17 in the rear - provide maximum traction and handling.
\r\n\r\nThe NSX''s braking system features large-diameter, ventilated four-wheel discs and an advanced 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for confident braking. A sophisticated Traction Control System (TCS) helps limit wheel-spin and enhances control.
\r\n\r\nThe 2005 Acura NSX features a removable roof panel for open-air driving. A sculpted, wedge-shaped body and forward canopy design clearly communicate the car''s high performance personality. Additional features include a body integrated rear spoiler and airfoil, power operated sideview mirrors and Xenon High-Intensity Discharge projector-beam headlights. The NSX comes in seven exterior colors, which can be ordered with a matching or complementary interior color.
\r\n\r\nInside, the hand-stitched, leather-trimmed interior of the NSX is designed to evoke the image of a jet fighter cockpit, providing excellent visibility, easy-to-read instrumentation and supportive, power operated seats. For 2005, the NSX receives a redesigned meter panel surround, a new shifter knob and a keyless entry system. As with all Acura models, the NSX comes with a long list of standard equipment and comfort and convenience features including an Automatic Climate Control System, power windows and door locks, cruise control and a theft deterrent system with electronic immobilizer. For 2005, the premium Acura/Bose Music System has been enhanced with a trunk-mounted 6-Disc CD changer.

It was roomier and more powerful than the car it replaced, and, in optional trim, it stepped up to match performance wits with the BMW 3 Series coupe but undercut that rival''s sticker by thousands. Yet buyers stayed away. The 3.2CL inherited a front-drive luxury/sport-coupe sales decline it couldn''t shake, and Acura hasn''t offered a similar car since.
\r\n\r\nThe final-generation CL bowed in two models: base 3.2CL at about $28,000 and higher-performance CL Type-S for just under $31,000. Each came loaded with luxury amenities like heated power-adjustable leather seats, moonroof, Bose in-dash CD changer, auto climate control, SportShift five-speed automatic, and Xenon lamps. The only option for either model was a DVD navigation system. For enthusiast drivers, the $2350 premium for a Type-S was a bargain. It bought an additional 35 horsepower, a step up to 17-inch performance tires, firmer shocks/springs/anti-roll bars, and the VSA stability-control system. Interior spiffs included perforated leather seats and steering wheel, metallic-faced instruments, and a Type-S leather shift knob.
\r\n\r\nMinor changes for 2002 included three new exterior colors and thicker moonroof glass (to reduce wind noise). A freshening in 2003 included slight revisions to the grille and headlamps, rear taillights and exhaust finishers, and titanium-look interior trim on cars with black interiors. OnStar was newly included with the optional satellite navigation system. The big news for what would be the CL''s last year was the availability of a close-ratio six-speed manual on the Type-S. That option also included a limited-slip differential in place of the VSA stability control.
\r\n\r\nThere was one recall, and a fairly major one, at that. A cooling problem in the automatic transmissions could lead to gear breakage and lockup. The fix was simple if caught in time, or, if related premature wear was detected, transmissions were replaced under warranty. A few other service bulletins exist--some concerning the transmission issue--but nothing to indicate the CL fell below Acura''s reputation for reliability.
\r\n\r\nThe 260-hp. V6 is smooth, powerful, and refined. The engine note under either acceleration or deceleration is sporty but unobtrusive. Ear plugs will never be needed in the CL, yet the driver and passengers nonetheless are able to enjoy the sound this engine makes. Mileage is rated at 19 city/28 highway, numbers that are easily matched in everyday use. The Bose stereo has an in-dash CD unit that can handle six CDs at a time, six speakers, and steering wheel mounted audio controls. As if this wasn’t enough, items like Xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps, heated seats and outside mirrors, speed-sensing intermittent windshield wipers, automatic climate control, a power tilt/slide sunroof, leather seating surfaces, and one year of On Star are all standard. On the Navi model tested – which comes with a standard DVD-based navigation system – the MSRP, including the $480 destination charge, is a reasonable $33,180. That’s several thousand dollars less than many competitors when similarly equipped, and one good reason Acura is coming off its best sales year to date.
\r\n\r\nLike their Honda kin, Acuras appeal to buyers looking for unassailable durability, quality, and reliability packaged in an inoffensively sporting wrapper, and endowed with standard equipment levels that make the competition blush. To them the compromises mentioned are minor annoyances in what is otherwise a nearly painless ownership experience. Yet, with just a bit more forethought and effort, the CL could do all this, and stir the soul.

The sedan is a bit longer than the coupe and provides extra room for rear-seat passengers. For each body style, there are three main trim levels available -- LS, GS and GS-R. A fourth trim level, the Type R, is only available as a coupe. The LS, GS and GS-R come with standard features like 15-inch wheels; power windows, locks and mirrors; cruise control; air conditioning; a CD player and a moonroof. The GS and GS-R also have a leather-trimmed interior. The Type R takes a more austere path. Though air conditioning is standard (in previous years, it wasn''t), it does have a number of performance-enhancing changes, such as reduced sound deadening material, additional structural bracing, larger brakes, a race-tuned suspension, performance tires and aerodynamic enhancements.
\r\n\r\nLS and GS come with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. It makes 140 hp and 124 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with this engine, and a four-speed automatic is optional. The GS-R also has a 1.8-liter engine but with more power: 170 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. The automatic transmission isn''t offered for the GS-R, nor is it available on the high performance Type R. The Type R''s engine is similar to the GS-R''s but, through substantial tuning modifications, makes 195 hp. It comes mated to a close-ratio five-speed manual with a limited-slip differential. None of these engines are particularly torquey, but they are fuel efficient; LS, GS and GS-R manual transmission-equipped cars earn an EPA estimate of 25/31 mpg city/highway.
\r\n\r\nThe Integra comes standard with dual front airbags and antilock brakes. Outboard rear passengers get three-point belts; the center rear position in the sedan has a lap belt only. Side airbags aren''t available. In NHTSA crash testing, the Integra received a four-star rating (out of a possible five) for its protection of the driver in frontal impacts. The front passenger position received three stars. Side-impact and frontal-offset crash tests haven''t been preformed.
\r\n\r\nThe Integra coupe can seat two people in the rear; the sedan can hold up to three. Like most sport hatchbacks, the coupe''s rear seat is best suited for children or those of smaller stature. Drivers are greeted with easy-to-read gauges, high quality controls and, on manual transmission-equipped cars, a precision shifter. The overall design is dated when viewed alongside those found in newer, competing vehicles, and certain elements, like cupholder placement and sound system controls, suffer from poor ergonomics.
\r\n\r\nThough the Integra is dated in many regards, its mechanicals are still generally up to the task of providing a fun and energetic drive. This is most true of the race-oriented Type R. On kinky roads, the Type R acts as your own personal sushi chef as it slices and dices its way through the gnarliest of corners. On regular city streets, though, the Type R''s buzzing exhaust and stiff suspension will be too much of a nuisance for most drivers. The GS-R trim is well rounded in terms of performance and comfort. And though they aren''t as fast as the GS-R, the LS- and RS-trim cars, with their fuel efficient engines and reasonably nimble handling, can be useful as short-distance commuter cars.

At first glance. The bodylines are sharply defined and seem to all run perpendicular to each other. This casts a formal, dignified, British aura to the vehicle.
\r\n\r\nThe interior is finely appointed. Leather seat surfaces are of high quality and the fit and finish are impeccable. All instrumentation is functional and understated in appearance. Ride comfort is exceptional for a four-wheel drive vehicle. Long highway excursions are as effortless as sitting around a fireplace at the club.
\r\n\r\nThe standard equipment list is equally impressive. Power windows, power sunroof, power seats, and leather just begin the list. The sound system is a six-speaker AM/FM/CD/cassette combination that provides excellent quality and response. The SLX also offers a most unusual power option: power folding outside mirrors. So, when Indiana Jones puts his life in your hands, you can squeeze through the narrowest portal without losing your mirrors.
\r\n\r\nPower on the SLX comes from a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine. It produces 215 horsepower and 230 lbs.-ft. of torque. That''s enough power for the truck to accomplish any task smoothly and to offer the sudden acceleration those less cultured amongst us might desire. As large as the truck is, this six-cylinder moves it very well. Do not expect great fuel economy from the SLX however. EPA ratings indicate 15/19 mpg city/highway. I think these numbers are extremely optimistic. With a curb weight of well over 4,000 pounds and the aerodynamics of a garage door, the SLX is your gas station''s best friend.
\r\n\r\nHandling on the SLX is somewhat clumsy. This is a very large truck and you never forget it. That translates into a very smooth ride but somewhat awkward maneuvering. On uneven roads the truck wanders and requires constant steering corrections. Crosswinds can be a scary proposition.

There''s not a single superfluous element in its shape, nor any add-on pieces that detract from a carefully honed air of good breeding.
\r\n\r\nFrom the trademark grille opening in front to the large, segmented taillights, every line flows smoothly. Of the two body styles available - sedan and coupe - the sedan is perhaps the most gracefully proportioned, looking slim and elegant, especially in dark colors. Either version has lots of glass area for good driver and passenger sightlines.
\r\n\r\nThe only surprising element of the Legend concept is found under the sloping hood. The V6 engine itself is hardly unusual, though its 24 valves are operated by a single camshaft over each bank of cylinders rather than by dual cams. What''s different is that the Acura engineers chose to mount the engine longitudinally rather than transversely, as is more common in front-wheel-drive applications. Improved weight distribution and the ability to design a stiffer structure around the engine are cited as the primary reasons for adopting this approach.
\r\n\r\nThe Legend is offered in five versions. The sedan comes in three models: the base L, midlevel LS and luxurious GS. The coupe comes in two models: L and LS. Both coupes and the Sedan GS are supplied with a 230-hp version of the V6 engine (the base engine develops 200 hp) with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Sedan L is equipped with a 5-speed manual, and a 4-speed automatic transmission is available on all models except the Sedan LS.
\r\n\r\nOur test car was a Coupe LS, the top of the Legend coupe lineup.
\r\n\r\nThe Legend cabin stands out as a model of refinement. Virtually every convenience known to drivers and passengers is standard here, with a 6-disc trunk-mounted CD changer for the Acura/Bose sound system as one of the very few interior options.
\r\n\r\nThough the sedan will seat five, four people will be most comfortable in either body style. There''s plenty of stretch-out room in front and back, and the front seats can be adjusted to accept occupants large or small. The burl walnut accent trim on the uplevel Legends is appropriately applied, though the fake wood bits in base cars may disappoint.
\r\n\r\nA roomy trunk complements the interior. With nearly 15 cu. ft. of well-shaped stowage space available (the coupe''s cargo bay is a shoe box or so smaller), the Legend sedan will accept as much luggage as the average foursome might ever want to carry.
\r\n\r\nUnder way, the Legend cabin is whisper quiet, with temperatures kept at a comfortable level by the standard automatic climate control.

\r\n\r\nA 1994 Acura Vigor GS four-door sedan, is an ambitious and innovative attempt to improve the import sedan in terms of ride, elegance and Performance. For an MSRP of $28,827, our Vigor GS delivered all the power assists, conveniences and safety measures we''ve come to expect in a luxury midsize sedan, including an AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD players, air conditioning, a lush leather interior and dual air bags-all standard.
\r\n\r\nIt also boasted a number of technical marvels, most notably a five-cylinder, 2.5-liter, 20-valve power plant delivering a level of performance that competing four-cylinder import sedans would be hard-pressed to match.
\r\n\r\nThe Vigor GS doesn''t reach the upper echelon of luxury sedans because its interior is too small, inches short of what its prime competitors are offering.
\r\n\r\nFinished in a deep Sherwood Green Pearl with a nicely contrasting tan interior, this vehicle was devoid of any inconsistencies in paint quality or deviations in seam width or color match between the metal and vinyl components. Dramatically flared front and rear fenders, a slinky aerodynamic profile and slightly upswept rear fenders put the Vigor GS at the head of the class in the sports sedan school of styling.
\r\n\r\nIn front, a rather diminutive black grille showcased the Acura logo and was framed by a thin ribbon of chrome. Broad, four-section headlight assemblies covered in clear, impact resistant plastic occupied more than 60 percent of the front end. Above, there was a sloping, sculpted hood that, taken together with the grille shape, reminded us of a Mercedes-Benz treatment.
\r\n\r\nIn profile, a black vinyl splash guard/rocker panel molding added to this vehicle''s sport sedan image. All these styling touches set the Vigor GS apart from its competitors, such as the slab-sided European offerings and the rounded, cookie-cutter domestic sedans.
\r\n\r\nA wide, protective side molding traveled from the front fender well to the rear well and matched the car''s body color perfectly. Oversized side-view mirrors and recessed door handles also matched the body color.
\r\n\r\nThe rear fenders and upswept trunk lid highlighted the rear styling treatment. Oversized red and white tail-lamp assemblies wrapped around the rear fenders. Molding identical to that on the side of the car protected the body-colored vinyl bumper; this molding encased the bumper and extended to the back of the rear wheel wells, giving the trim a uniform look.
\r\n\r\nAcura seems to be proud of its identity-as well as the Vigor nameplate-and hopes its owners will share that pride. A large Acura "A" appears on the middle of the trunk lid with the corporate name to the left and "Vigor" spelled out in prominent chrome below that. Even the distinctively spoked alloy wheels bear the Acura logo. Viewed from any angle, there''s no mistaking who makes this seda.
\r\n\r\nWell-organized and elegant are terms that come to mind when describing the interior of this fully equipped sedan. Visible through the thickly padded steering wheel was a nicely arranged instrument panel containing the speedometer, tachometer, fuel and temperature gauges-all with white needles and graphics against a black back round for maximum legibility. These readouts were accompanied by a host of warning lights.
\r\n\r\nThe positioning of other controls and features revealed Acura''s quest for easy access and superb ornization. Large power window and door lock buttons were situated on a near vertical portion of the driver''s armrest. The center panel housing the eight-speaker stereo system and the air-conditioning controls was slightly angled away from the driver for better legibility and easier access.
\r\n\r\nWe were pleased to discover a thick rubber seal between our car''s roof and its doors-just one of the many painstaking measures Acura stylists have taken with the Vigor GS to isolate its occupants from outside elements and road noise.
\r\n\r\nElegant and comfortable but far too snug was our overall impression of the interior scheme. Wood grain accents and luxurious leather seats made this an eye-pleasing car. The four-way power driver''s bucket seat featured adjustable lumbar support for maximum comfort.
\r\n\r\nOur big complaint was that all these creature comforts were crowded into an interior that lacked a few inches here and there. This was particularly true for rear seat passengers, whose legroom was definitely restricted by the front seatbacks. We think the reason for the cramped interior lies in the positioning of the Vigor GS''s rear wheels. Unlike Chrysler''s LH sedans, the GS''s wheels are positioned well forward; although this gives the car an unusually large trunk, it noticeably reduces interior space.

It''s now 4,414 mm (173.8 in.) long, 1,830 mm (72.1 in.) wide and 1,372 mm (54.0 in.) high, as opposed to the show car, which measures 4,390 mm (172.8 in.) long, 1,890 mm (74.4 in.) wide and 1,290 mm (50.8 in.) tall. While entry and exit won''t be done through scissor-type doors, the Brera does keep the fixed panoramic glass roof of the concept.
\r\n\r\n"The interior has an ambience that is both cozy and sophisticated". Through the use of high quality materials and novel designs. If current Alfa products and the Brera concept are any indication, the production version should rank amongst the best for build, as well as delivering a rich, luxurious feel that nothing this side of a Maserati could match.
\r\n\r\nThe Brera will be built with three different engines, including powerplants from the company''s own engine bank, as well as drawing from the extensive GM-Fiat engine range. Unfortunately, the concept''s Ferrari/Maserati-derived V8 powerplant won''t be on the list, and neither will the Selespeed sequential manual gearbox.
\r\n\r\nAlfa-speak for direct-injection. Buyers can also select a more powerful 260- horsepower, 3.2-litre V6 developed. Unfortunately, the concept''s Ferrari/Maserati-derived V8 powerplant won''t be offered in the production version. This motor is a part of GM''s modular V6 family, and shares some of its components with the larger 3.6-litre unit found in the Cadillac CTS and the Saturn Aura concept.
\r\n\r\nAs with the GT Coupe, Alfa also intends to offer a turbo diesel powerplant for the Brera. As a general rule of thumb, it''s been thought that sports cars and diesels aren''t to be mixed, but many automobile manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz and BMW have utilized diesels in their sports cars. The concept itself is very logical; with mountain-moving amounts of torque and 240 horsepower on tap, the 2.4-litre JTD turbodiesel motor could very well make this the fastest Alfa currently in production without the devastating fuel bill.
\r\n\r\nAlfa has worked hard to develop the ''Q4'' power delivery system to seriously challenge the Germans through permanent all-wheel drive. Since its move to front- wheel drive, Alfa has once again reached the limits of power with the 156 GTA.
\r\n\r\nTo get the upper hand on whatever the road dishes out, the Q4 system is completely adaptable. Should snow or rain compromise traction, the Torsen differential can shift up to 70 percent of the power to the rear wheels, or up to 60 percent to the front wheels.
\r\n\r\nThe advanced all-wheel drive system will be standard equipment on the more powerful JTD and V6 models, while the entry-level JTS will make do with front-wheel drive. Advanced traction and electronic systems which monitor braking and road holding will also provide an added edge in all driving conditions.

This original saloon is the heir to a successful model and it continues where the 156 left off, aiming to become the new benchmark for the segment.
\r\n\r\nThe new Alfa Romeo 159 will be on the market in the Summer; it has an elegant, sinuous line, which combines generous dimensions with the compactness typical of Alfa Romeo sports cars, thanks to a balanced play of proportions and volumetric ratios. The result is a prestigious car that combines refined ''Italian'' styling with Alfa Romeo''s sporty elegance.
\r\n\r\nDesigned by Giorgetto Giugiaro in collaboration with the Alfa Romeo Styling Centre, the new car has a number of distinctive features that highlight its strong personality and make it immediately recognisable, in the best Alfa tradition. Starting from the front, which is strong and essential, dominated by the Alfa Romeo family feeling of the characteristic cloverleaf sporting the large shield. The line of the entire car springs from here, combining a light stylistic ''aggressiveness'' with strikingly elegant forms: an impression that is underlined by the light clusters, which are delightful design features.
\r\n\r\nThe trapezoid shape of the front view accentuates the car''s sensation of solidity, highlighted by the way the passenger compartment rests on a powerful ''shoulder''. This runs all along the waistline of the car, broadening considerably when it reaches the rear pillar. This pillar has a double stylistic function: it links to the curve of the rear window, above the rear axle (another clear stylistic expression of strength, robustness and dynamism), and embraces the passenger compartment thanks to the stylistic device of the classic Alfa Romeo ''elbow''. The front pillar is set further back to make the line look sleeker, underlining the presence of the powerful engine, and making the passenger compartment look more compact, improving visibility on bends.
\r\n\r\nIn other words, sleek but solid, dynamic but robust: only outstanding stylistic balance can combine such different characteristics. For example the ''muscular'' wing which, next to the generous wheels, marks the widest point of the car, unequivocally conveying the ideal of a car that is firmly ''anchored to the ground''. In spite of its capacious size, the rear end, with its beautifully balanced form, blends perfectly with the front, setting off its unique personality, and has a horizontal design, underlined by a chromed double exhaust tail-pipe on the more powerful versions. And it is topped off by a small spoiler which combines styling and practicality, right above the logo which is positioned where it is immediately visible, and the elongated lights, divided by the slit of the boot, which include cylindrical shapes derived from the styling of the front headlights. And finally, the new model offers a choice of 14 different colours.
\r\n\r\nThe new model is roomier than the 156, and more comfortable, a strong point that is confirmed by its generous dimensions: it is 4,660 mm long, 1,828 mm wide and 1,417 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,700 millimetres.
\r\n\r\nLike the external styling, the interior of the Alfa Romeo 159 also represents an evolved expression of the sportiness and elegance embodied by Alfa. It was defined around the driving position, focusing attention on the driver: excellent ratios for the distances between pedals, seat, steering wheel and gearbox give him a sense of total control over the car, which produces the enjoyable driving so typical of Alfa Romeo. The facia and wrapround centre console incorporate all the driving instruments and are turned ergonomically towards the driver. The speedometer, rev counter and other instruments, all strictly analogue, are circular with clear, refined, extremely legible graphics. The anti-glare lip accentuates the ''boat'' shape of the main instruments, confirming a feature peculiar to Alfa Romeo design that is based on a deep-rooted attention to volumes and mature treatment of surfaces.
\r\n\r\nTo underline the functional continuity between the facia and the console, the designers aimed to achieve stylistic continuity between them: the console, which is raised as if stretching towards the facia, has a sporty gearlever with short, precise movements, and a comfortable armrest that incorporates a large insulated storage compartment. The interior achieves a perfect balance between elegance and sportiness, an equation that Alfa Romeo translates into refined colour combinations, quality fabrics, precious fine grain leather and luxurious materials (like the aluminium mouldings).
\r\n\r\nThe range includes three specification levels, each featuring specific ''natural'' interior upholstery. The sophisticated ''slush moulding'' technology with which the facia was made, guarantees a refined opaque effect and a surface that is soft to the touch. The customer will appreciate the wrapround, finely modelled seats, which are made with carefully selected materials paying great attention to the details.
\r\n\r\nWith the new Alfa 159 project, Alfa Romeo aims to position itself at the top of the class for passive safety. The Alfa Romeo engineers have designed and developed a new ''premium'' floorpan which adopts high performance materials, multiply sheet metal and laser welding. From the viewpoint of the architecture, the bodyshell also benefits from numerous measures such as the use of boxed elements that are rigidly connected transversely and vertically, three load lines in the front, longitudinals that run the whole length of the car, built-in structures and a larger number of spot welds around structural nodes. The result is the excellent torsional rigidity of the bodyshell, the best in its segment: over 180,000 daNm/rad.
\r\n\r\nThe Alfa Romeo 159 boasts as many as eight airbags (including special bags to protect the knees and sidebags that extend all along the windows area); innovative restraint systems (pretensioners on the clasp, and decreasing load limiters on the seat-belts), and front seats with an ''anti-whiplash'' device which brings the head-restraint nearer to the occupants'' necks in the event of a rear impact.
\r\n\r\nThis striking aesthetic styling is set off by a broad, comprehensive range of engines. First of all, the three new JTS engines with continuous dual variable valve timing (inlet and exhaust): the 3.2 V6 24v (191 kW - 260 bhp), the 2.2 (136 kW - 185 bhp) and the 1.9 (118 kW - 160 bhp), with a specific power output between 81 and 85 bhp/l. All the engines meet Euro 4 standards, exploiting the direct petrol injection in full, a particular combustion system known as JTS: Jet Thrust Stoichiometric. For the customer, this means brilliant engine performance, which increases the driving enjoyment and the performance of the car. The torque values of the three engines are equally outstanding, and 88% is already available at 2,000 rpm: 322 Nm (32.8 kgm) at 4,500 rpm for the 3.2 V6 JTS, 230 Nm (23.4 kgm) at 4,500 rpm for the 2.2 JTS, and 190 Nm (19.4 kgm) at 4,500 rpm for the 1.9 JTS.
\r\n\r\nThose are the petrol engines. But Alfa Romeo has always been on the leading edge in the field of diesel engines too, epitomised by the 2.4 JTDM 5-cylinder 20v engine (147 kW - 200 bhp at 4000 rpm) and torque of 400 Nm (40.8 kgm at 2000 rpm), and the two 1.9 JTDM: the first is a ''16v'' delivering 110 kW (150 bhp at 4000 rpm) and torque of 320 Nm (32.6 kgm at 2000 rpm), the second is an ''8v'' delivering 88 kW (120 bhp at 4000 rpm) and torque of 280 Nm (28.6 kgm at 2000 rpm).
\r\n\r\nOn the latest generation of ''Common Rail'' engines, the JTD units with Multijet technology, turbocharging is entrusted to a variable geometry turbo and intercooler. The 1.9 JTDM exploits a specific turbine developed by Alfa Romeo while the 2.4 JTDM has a new cylinder head and new conrods in ''fractured'' steel. The three engines all meet Euro 4 requirements, and incorporate a particulate trap (DPF) which eliminates particulate almost entirely, in line with the latest Euro 5 indications (it is a ''for life'' system that does not need to be regenerated with additives).
\r\n\r\nAnd finally, the range includes new mechanical gearboxes, all with six speeds and featuring short strokes, precise engagement and limited loads. Automatic transmissions and a robotised Selespeed gearbox will also be available, all with six speeds.
\r\n\r\nThe new model features important exclusive equipment that increases comfort: Cruise control, rain, dusk and parking sensors (front and rear), satellite navigator with maps (even with ''bird''s eye view'' display), voice controls and a built-in GSM hands-free telephone, automatic climate control with dual or tri-zone distribution and temperature, a radio-CD player (including MP3 files) and 10-disc CD-Changer, a BOSE® Hi-Fi Sound System with AutoPilot for automatic sound compensation and a central speaker on the facia for better acoustics, seats with electrical adjustment, folding rear seats and push-button ignition on the console.

The New 166 complements these successful features with interior and exterior aesthetic motifs of great visual impact. The interior trim and exterior colour matches are also very sophisticated.
\r\n\r\nThe car''s imposing front end has been fully redesigned. The tall shield, for example, now forms the traditional Alfa three-part motif in conjunction with the two side air intakes. This motif marks a family resemblance to more recent models while allowing the Alfa Romeo Style Centre to reclaim and reinterpret distinctive traits from the company''s illustrious past.
\r\n\r\nAs on the previous model, two converging ribs delimit and emphasise a central bulge that hints at the presence of the powerful, beefy engine beneath. The side view of the New Alfa 166 features some of the chrome trim that was present on the previous model: i.e. on the door handles, roof outline and door sills. Not to mention the fact the outline immediately conveys an impression of a car that is strong, compact and firmly anchored to the ground. At the same time, the extensive metal area prevails over the glass and makes the vehicle look like a coupé from the side.
\r\n\r\nViewed from the rear, the Alfa 166 is immediately recognisable for its broad shoulders that make it look like an animal waiting to pounce - and for its short, fleeting tail. The slightly drooping tail evokes the sensation of a very agile car despite its large saloon dimensions. The relatively unchanged bumpers are still flush with the metal surface and blend into the vehicle body. The light clusters on the New Alfa 166 are among its most distinctive features and designer objects in their own right.
\r\n\r\nAnd so from the exterior to the interior. The same good looks are apparent inside, where lashings of space are backed by outstanding comfort, sophisticated trim and padding and careful attention to detail. The real attraction of the new model lies in a passenger compartment that has been made lighter through careful choice of colours and materials that are a pleasure to touch and look at. An extensive choice of materials (cloth and leather) and colours combine to create three different environments: sports, elegant or classic. Customers can also choose from four different types of facia according to version and trim level. Not to mention the fact that the option list includes exclusive upholstery of huge appeal, a superlative example of Italian craft tradition.
\r\n\r\nThis model is set to trump the opposition with a winning blend of breeding and temperament. And more. Beneath its attractive exterior, the new vehicle boasts a temperament unique for its category that is complemented by an ability to dominate the road typical of an Alfa Romeo. This characteristic is particularly appreciated by those who expect driving satisfaction even from a big prestige saloon. The power unit comes in various engine-gearbox combinations that are among the most powerful and efficient currently on the market. The suspension layout is able to assure absolute command of the car in any situation. A host of electronic devices is also present to enable you to enjoy the great performance levels of which all Alfa 166 versions are capable in absolute safety: from an ABS with electronic load proportioning valve to antislip systems for automatic traction control.
\r\n\r\nIn detail, the model offers six power units that present different characteristics and all together make up a comprehensive range able to meet the expectations of any customer, however well-informed and demanding. The four petrol units are the 150 bhp 2.0 TS, the 188 bhp 2.5 V6 24v, the 220 bhp 3.0 V6 and the 240 bhp 3.2 V6 24v. The two turbodiesels are the 150 bhp 2.4 JTD 10v and the 175 bhp 2.4 Multijet 20v. These units are all combined with a 6 speed manual gearbox, with the exception of the 220 bhp 3.0 V6 that is only available with an automatic transmission. The lively 175 bhp 2.4 Multijet 20v may also be paired with a sophisticated new generation 5-speed automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nBut power is not all. The Alfa Romeo flagship has also been designed with a view to pleasing its passengers. The new model immediately reveals itself as a car that is extremely satisfying to inhabit: as driver or passenger, over short trips or long motorway journeys. The interior environment is comfortable because it is so ergonomic. It is pleasing due to the gratifying sensations aroused by an advanced climate control system, outstanding sound-proofing and a very comfortable suspension. It is sophisticated because the in-car technology has been designed to make life easier: with an efficient electronic interface, Cruise Control that is useful on motorway routes, a smart radio that dynamically adjusts volume to the surrounding noise and a satellite navigation system to suggest the best way to a chosen destination. The new central console display delivers a stylish metallic effect.
\r\n\r\nThe New Alfa 166 range is made up of three comprehensive specifications that offer great value for money: the new Impression, Progression and Distinctive packages. A New Alfa 166 TI option pack is also available with low ride for a more entertaining drive with better handling. On the outside, this particular version offers a special badge and 18" alloy wheels. Inside, the TI environment is identifiable by seats trimmed with black leather with an embroidered TI logo in red. The same sporty look extends to the TI logo on the aluminium sill plate and red button and instrument panel lighting.
\r\n\r\nAll versions are extremely well-equipped, as you would expect from a top-class flagship. The host of options will satisfy even the most demanding of customers in this market band. Not forgetting the accessory range created to meet even the most specific customisation requirements.
\r\n\r\nHere are just a few of the numerous systems and devices available on the new model: active sensor ABS with electronic brakeforce distributor; VDC; front airbags, sidebags and windowbags; automatic climate control; Cruise Control; bi-Xenon headlights; rain and parking sensor; follow-me-home lights; radio controls on the steering wheel; satellite navigation system with maps and voice guide, GSM phone with handsfree set and Hi-Fi system with 10 speakers and CD changer. Lastly, five types of alloy wheels are available according to the version: two 16", two 17" and one 18".

In the Thirties and Forties, the ''8c'' signature that returns here, identified the racing and road cars that were equipped with the new eight cylinder engine developed by the famous engineer Vittorio Jano. The term ''Competizione'' on the other hand, is a tribute to the 6C 2500 Competizione, the sports coupé driven by Fangio and Zanardi in the famous Mille Miglia race in 1950.
\r\n\r\nSo ''8c Competizione'' is not an invented name, but a clear reference to Alfa''s racing history. And of course the Alfa Romeo legend was created to a great extent by the victories its cars achieved on race courses all around the world. There were so many of them that alone they represent a long, fascinating chapter, made of men and competitive spirit, engines and cutting edge technical ideas. The protagonists of the inestimable human and technological heritage that is responsible for today''s beautiful cars, full of character and, above all, capable of combining the beauty of the styling with the pleasure of driving them.
\r\n\r\nLet us admire then the captivating, original lines of this carbon fibre 2-seater, and its extremely generous measurements: 1900 mm wide, 4278 mm long and 1250 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2595 mm. The body is given extra dynamism by the horizontal furrow cut into the side above the front wheelarch.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to this, the large tyres (245/40 - R20 at the front and 275/35 - R20 at the rear) and the powerful, muscular rear wings accentuate the impression the model gives of a strong, forceful personality. This does not detract in any way from the elegance of the lines that run smoothly from front to back, to the light clusters set into the integral bumpers. A stylistic balance that has its maximum expression in the daring design of the rear window that covers the rear and partially envelops the rear pillars.
\r\n\r\nThe front elements have been repositioned as they were on the most important Alfa racing cars of the past - the ''whiskers'' and shield are aligned at the same height - a decision of historical and evolutionary significance. But a rapid glance will reveal that the styling of the whole exterior is full of classical references, an ideal opportunity for a modern interpretation of traditional Alfa stylistic cues. For example, the front end recalls the former 33 Coupé Stradale, while the rear sports the characteristic round light clusters of the Giulia TZ.
\r\n\r\nIt is difficult to be indifferent to the ''8c Competizione'' concept car, because it is the pure expression of Alfa Romeo''s concept of the car. And with this new model, Alfa''s stylistic language takes a further step forward. Compared to another concept car, the ''Nuvola'', which also featured the shapes and surface treatment of the new Alfa Romeo aesthetics, the styling approach of the Alfa 8c Competizione enhances the brand''s DNA with a modern hi-tech interpretation of the most famous designs in Alfa Romeo history.
\r\n\r\nNor can we forget that the Alfa Romeo sports cars of past and present all share a particular feature: the ability to thrill even the most experienced drivers when they take the wheel. And the Alfa 8c Competizione is no exception. Suffice it to say that under the bonnet lurks a 4.2 litre V8 (90°) turbo engine with a volumetric compressor. This powerful unit delivers over 400 bhp at 7000 rpm and together with a 6-speed manual rear transmission, takes the prototype to a top speed above 300 km/h, accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometres in just 4.5 seconds. This engine commands not only absolute performance and outstanding peaks of power and torque (over 45 kgm at 4500 rpm), but also smooth, effortless delivery even at low speeds. The result is a car capable of exciting performance, that is perfectly at home on everyday roads and not only on the racetrack.
\r\n\r\nThe 8c Competizione combines this brilliant performance with extraordinary roadholding and the handling of a true thoroughbred. The merit goes to the dual wishbone suspension at front and rear, which ensures extremely enjoyable handling, combining the control you would expect of front-wheel drive with an exceptionally sporty drive and pinpoint response, which are particularly important on mixed routes. We must underline that Alfa Romeo chose rear-wheel drive on the 8c Competizione to support the exuberant engine and to deliver truly unbeatable emotions.

This model has always evoked the satisfaction of travel with a sporty or elegant flavour and their appeal remains evergreen.
\r\n\r\nThe front view of the GTV has changed with the incorporation, by Pininfarina, of certain present-day Alfa motifs. The shield, for example, is similar to that used on more recent models (to ensure continuity). Its upper edge follows the bonnet and then dives down to break the line of the bumper. The brand logo remains high up in the middle and is surrounded by a fine chrome trim that emphasises the strength and communicative value of the Alfa signature. The chrome bars stand out against the black background of the grille. These horizontal elements extend and widen over the side intakes to suggest an image of a car that is well positioned with a vice-like grip on the ground. Lower down, the two air intake openings delimited by a trapezoid foglight are separated and form, with the shield, the legendary Alfa cloverleaf. The traditional V-shape on the bonnet arises from the side pillars: two converging ribs that delimit and emphasise a central bulge that hints at the presence of a powerful and vigorous engine beneath.
\r\n\r\nThe new Alfa GTV, also keep their wedge shaped line enhanced by a shortened tail end that gives the car body a very aggressive look. It was also decided not to do away with the strongly raked windscreen and the accentuated shelf on the side panel that makes the model look more slender and dynamic. The much-lauded profiles of both sports cars have also been retained, including the high truncated tail end of the Alfa GTV and the narrow, slender rear of the Spider.
\r\n\r\nThe design of the 16 light alloy wheels is new, as are the three body colour options: Brunello Red, Racing Green, Cobalt Blue.
\r\n\r\nVarious new features have been introduced into the passenger compartment of the new GTV, beginning with a lower driver seating position in relation to the ground (H point) for improved driving comfort. The interior has also been redefined as far as styling and ergonomics are concerned. Examples include a black facia and a brand new central console panel that houses the key for the ASR, radio and satellite navigation system. The lighting for the instrument panel and controls is now red, while a new cloth is available for the seats and interior trim. All these features enhance the concepts of elegant simplicity and classic sportiness that have always typified the two niche models in the Alfa range.
\r\n\r\nAs far as engines are concerned, the new GTV offer is a products of great interest. Beginning with two engines that have already aroused much admiration on other Alfa Romeo models: the 165 bhp 2.0 JTS and the 240 bhp 3.2 V6 24 valve.
\r\n\r\nThe 2.0 JTS (Jet Thrust Stoichiometric) is a revolutionary petrol engine with direct injection and specific power in excess of 60 kW/l and specific torque of over 100 Nm/l. The second power unit, the lively 3.2 V6 24 valve unit, offers a power output of 240 bhp at 6200 rpm and boasts a torque curve that reaches 289 Nm at 4800 rpm for thrilling performance when sportily driven and also during everyday use. A GTV fitted with this engine can reach 255 km/h and this performance makes it the fastest road car in the history of Alfa Romeo.

Most estates are now marketed at the buyer that has a life rather than just life-producing tendencies. The vast majority of us often require the use of a car with larger than average carrying capacity; be that for water sport paraphernalia or your toddlers'' nativity play costumes. It is just as well then that so many car makers produce stylish and practical cars such as the Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon reviewed here.
\r\n\r\nYou may not associate the word "practicality" with the Alfa Romeo brand, and rightly so; the Italian marque is synonymous with racing and full-blooded Mediterranean passion, or so parent Fiat would have us believe. In fairness, the current generation of Alfas do make a decent stab at offering the buyer some Italian sportiness at a good price. In recent years, Alfa has set its sights on traditional BMW and Audi buyers, especially with the original Alfa Romeo 156. Though not dated, the nature of the market pushed Alfa into a quick facelift only a few years before the launch of the proper replacement. The question we asked ourselves was this: does the facelifted Alfa 156 retain the charm of the original, while taking the fight to the German marques?
\r\n\r\nWe received photographs of the facelifted 156 a long time before we saw the car in the metal. First impressions were mixed; it was felt that some of the simple beauty had been lost. Look at the rear: there is an extra swage line between the light clusters that is completely unnecessary, other than to distinguish the new car from the old. I personally love the new car''s nose though; it successfully links the wonderfully evocative Alfa grille with sharp contemporary headlight design and an aggressive stance. Much fuss is made of the input by Giorgetto Giugiaro (recently voted Designer of the Year incidentally), with badges on the flanks. The new style particularly suits the Sportwagon version tested here - probably because it does without the design changes to the rear hatch.
\r\n\r\nAlfa Romeo first coined the "Sportwagon" name for the 33 in the late eighties. There are no prizes for guessing that the 156 Sportwagon is not a much bigger car than the saloon it is based on. Thankfully, form has always come before function in Alfa Romeo estates and the Sportwagon is arguably at least as good looking as the saloon.
\r\n\r\nYou can be sure that the Sportwagon drives no differently to the saloon too. However, this facelift has not been accompanied by significant chassis revisions. The car tested was the 2.0 JTS Veloce, which is fitted with sports suspension as standard. We were a little disappointed with this; it was neither sporty nor particularly supple. I am not saying that the chassis is a lemon; it is composed and stable when being pushed and it is a comfortable car to do a lot of miles in. On the flip side, there is better communication between Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi and German leader Gerhard Schroeder than this car and its driver, especially on a wet road, where you need it most. Things are not all bad for the enthusiastic driver: the steering is deliciously direct and has some feel, though the helm of the BMW 3-series is in a different league. The five-speed ''box is slick and the gear ratios are well spaced, as are the pedals.
\r\n\r\nOther driving controls will be familiar to regular Alfa drivers, including the column stalks and centre console. Under the driver''s and passengers'' bums are comfortable, supportive seats. As pictured, the interior was finished in a beige velour-like material called "Alfatex". I admit that it looks good in photographs, but after two days of rain the driver''s footwell was sodden from just getting in and out. It is not a practical colour for the carpets and I wouldn''t think that many experienced parents would opt for this colour.
\r\n\r\nNot that you would baulk at transporting your loved ones in the 156. All models in the revised range are equipped with six airbags (front, side and window), ABS with EBD, traction control, stability control and brake assist. What is perhaps a little sad from the perspective of a driving enthusiast is that the 2.0 JTS version of the 156 does not do much to cause you to need the likes of ABS or traction control in anything but an emergency situation. The 2.0-litre engine has plenty of urge, though you need to keep it above its peak torque speed (3250 rpm). It also sounds pleasantly rorty, as an Alfa Romeo should. The performance figures are not bad either. However, the overriding feeling is that you are not encouraged to press on; you will need the fantastic GTA version for that, which has not been facelifted (it didn''t need to be).
\r\n\r\nOther stylish estates in the same bracket include the BMW 318iES Touring (£20,750), and the Audi A4 2.0 (£20,715), though the keener driver may opt for the Subaru Impreza 2.0 WRX 5-door, which sells for £19,995 on-the-road in the UK. With rivals such as these, the charming Italian side of the Alfa 156 needs to come to the fore and whisk buyers off their feet. If Alfa Romeo wants to be more than a niche player it needs to deliver no all fronts. The 156 Sportwagon is a perfectly good lifestyle estate, but an Alfa Romeo needs to be a lot more than that. There is no doubting its style, but we think that more driver appeal is required to justify the illustrious badge.

\r\n\r\nThe New Alfa 166 offers four different petrol engines, plus the powerful new second generation Common Rail diesel: the 175 bhp 2.4 JTD M-Jet 20V.
\r\n\r\nThe most classic Alfa Romeo stylistic features are immediately obvious on the New Alfa 166. Functionality and elegance merge in a form of beauty and power, where every detail is just where it should be and nothing appears superfluous. On the restyled front, the triangular radiator grill, the symbol that has made Alfa Romeo instantly recognizable over the years, acts as the starting point for two sleek lines that radiate out over the hood, hinting at the power of the engine underneath, and that then sweep smoothly back along the entire length of the car. The line of the radiator grill extends outwards towards the side air intakes and new bi-xenon headlights, which have an even more dynamic design and more than double the brightness of traditional lights. The flush bumpers merge with the bodywork of the car. The clean, spare style created for the side conveys prestige and quality through the elegant, restrained use of chrome elements.
\r\n\r\nThe body has no sharp angles or corners. It is soft and curved, with the door handles and side indicator light flush with the body of the car. The curve of the fenders, and even the wheels, which are perfectly flush with the body, give the impression of a strong, compact car, one that is firmly anchored to the road, an impression enhanced by the solid horizontal axis around which the entire side seems to develop. There are three specifications, Impression, Progression and Distinctive, and a range of 11 colors, including four new shades, designed to satisfy the modern, refined taste of those who appreciate the highest expression of sporting elegance in a car.
\r\n\r\nLet yourself be embraced by the interior of the New Alfa 166. These interiors, with their two-tone or mono-tone dashboards, or exclusively finished in superior full-grain leather, matched with the upholstery, glove compartment, central uprights and door panels, are at the very top of the executive saloon category.
\r\n\r\nWithout forgetting the sporting heart of those who love driving: on all the V6 manual transmission versions, the Sport Throttle Response system is mounted next to the gear lever. This exclusive system allows the driver to experience the thrill of a racing car in a prestige saloon. A sporty drive that comes complete with all the comfort and handling typical of a real Alfa. The hi-fi system controls are mounted on the steering wheel spokes, giving in-car entertainment in total comfort. And in total safety: all the controls are instantly withinInterior of the New Alfa 166 reach at all times, including the Cruise Control system for controlling the car’s cruising speed and the information needed for a safe journey, as required by those who like to enjoy the thrill of driving a genuine sporting flagship but without surrendering complete control of the situation.
\r\n\r\nNew Alfa 166. Cruise Control. Thanks to an uncompromising combination of quality materials, high technology and the very best in Italian craftsmanship, the New Alfa 166 gives the feel of a car whose components have been carefully designed down to the smallest detail and assembled with exceptional care and passion. It is virtually a living room on wheels, a place to sit back and enjoy a driving experience of sheer pleasure, with a natural sporting outlook. Seats upholstered in leather or top-quality cloths. Leather steering wheel and gear lever. A carefully soundproofed body and interiors lined with soundproofing materials to eliminate squeaks and rattles. Doors with flush frame and double lining for internal sound protection even at high speeds. Then there are the front and central uprights with a finish matching the roof, the central console frame finished with an opaque metallic surface covering obtained using galvanic bath technology, and the chrome-plated door knobs. All are signs of class and prestige, and convey the unmistakable pleasure of driving a genuine, top-quality executive saloon.
\r\n\r\nTo deliver all of the engine’s power to the wheels, a new 6-speed manual transmission or a new Sportronic 5-speed automatic transmission are available. The latter, which is a perfect blend of technological excellence and sporting imagination, adapts automatically to the driving style adopted or, alternatively, can operate as a manual sequential unit. The system communicates constantly with the Abs control unit, monitoring the speed of each individual wheel and whether the car is on a straight or on a bend, whether the road surface is dry or wet, and the grip conditions. It provides engine braking when braking and prevents a higher gear being engaged on bends with high lateral accelerations. And at the same time it ensures the best sporting performance, holding gear just like a manual transmission and accelerating up to a limit of 5000 rpm.
\r\n\r\nTI, Turismo Internazionale, are the initials that over the years have marked Alfa Romeo cars as sporting thoroughbreds. The TI Pack, available as an optional, sees the car with a lower trim that ensures a more thrilling drive, in total safety, and with better handling. On the outside, the TI Pack features a special monogram on the two fenders and exclusive 18” alloy wheels. On the inside, the TI setup is evident in the leather seats with embroidered Alfa Romeo logo, in the TI symbol on the aluminum kick-plate, and in the red lighting used for the instrument panel and buttons.
\r\n\r\nThe intrinsic safety of the New Alfa 166 begins with the torsional rigidity of the bodyshell, which helps to ensure that the car enjoys maximum stability and roadholding. The bodyshell is surrounded by a series of components that are uncompromising in terms of quality and generosity, including the FPS Fire Prevention System that cuts off the flow of fuel to the engine in the event of a collision, the double, full-size front airbags (with passenger side airbag that can be disabled), and front side airbags. The most recent innovations concern protection against side-on collisions, with the anti-penetration bars in the doors and energy-absorbing interior materials being joined by new front head bags, mounted on the roof under the ceiling upholstery. These bags are only activated in the event of strong side-on collisions and their job is to protect the heads of the front seat.\r\nTotal control of the road. At all times and in all conditions, from sporty driving to relaxed touring. All because the wide range of equipment used to ensure the best performance and active control of the New Alfa 166 represent the very best technology currently available.
\r\n\r\nFrom the integrated double circuit hydraulic braking system, which guarantees braking force on both sides of the car in the event of a failure of one of the circuits, to the latest ABS with EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), the system that distributes the braking force between the front and rear wheels. Then there is the VDC system, Alfa Romeo’s original interpretation of ESP, an electronic vehicle dynamic control device that brings the car back into line should there be a loss of stability; the system also includes the ASR automatic traction control function, which prevents skidding/wheel slip on surfaces with poor grip, while the suspension system features a high wishbone arrangement at the front, derived from Formula 1, and multi-link suspension at the rear. A tremendous research achievement from the Alfa Romeo engineering department, which has led to record-braking roadholding performance and solutions that have been patented worldwide.
\r\n\r\nSolutions such as the front suspension system used on the new Alfa 166, which sees the traditional rigid strut being replaced by an articulated strut, made up of three separate and interconnecting elements. A solution that offers incomparable absorption of bumps, together with maximum stability when overtaking or changing lane.

\r\n\r\nOver an extremely brisk 600km drive through the Top End at the launch of the new 184kW GTA in August 2002, we took the mid-sized, four-door sedan to a knee-shaking 250km/h. It could have gone faster, yet the increasing likelihood of hitting one of the fat feral cats common along the Stuart Highway put an end to our experiment.
\r\n\r\nAbove 200km/h, the GTA was a touch twitchy but remarkably stable for a road car, no doubt assisted by the front airdam and rear bumper''s central splitter, both designed to keep the GTA nailed firmly to the tarmac. No useless boot spoiler here - the GTA is all business, from its finely-tuned suspension to its specially-designed Michelin tyres.
\r\n\r\nGetting from A to B in a hurry is the GTA''s reason for existence. Under the bonnet is a highly responsive 3.2-litre V6 that propels the 1410kg sedan from rest to 100km/h in a WRX-like 6.3 seconds. From 4000rpm it surges with a low, throaty growl, and revs incredibly quickly to its 7000rpm redline. This is no peaky, turbocharged donk either, it''s flexible enough to accelerate from 30km/h in sixth gear with little fuss.
\r\n\r\nThe 156''s tweaked 3.2-litre engine is backed up by a race-track tuned chassis. Reinforced and revised 156 suspension results in a satisfying compromise between comfort and control. Even when pushed along at 180km/h down the sweeping Daly River Historic Highway it remained flat and composed, steadfastly glued to the road.
\r\n\r\nThe GTA is a front wheel drive car, yet Alfa Romeo engineers have tuned in an amount of oversteer so the rear end can be flicked into a corner and then powered out with sure-footed confidence.
\r\n\r\nPinpoint steering with only 1.7 turns lock-to-lock provides instant feedback and super-quick turn-in, although the turning circle is relatively large as a consequence. The six-speed manual gearbox, beefed-up like most of the mechanicals, is slick and precise - the Selespeed auto version will arrive in 2003.
\r\n\r\nPowerful Brembo brakes, six airbags and unobtrusive electronic braking and traction aids provide reassuring back-up at breakneck speeds.
\r\n\r\nThe $89,950 GTA is not all race-style engineering though. Inside is a well-trimmed, well-built interior with one of the most comfortable and supportive leather sports seats in the business, plus a long list of features including top-notch CD player, trip computer, and cruise control.
\r\n\r\nFrom the outside the GTA''s subtle styling, including a GTA badge, lowered suspension, body kit, twin exhausts and wider guards to accommodate the distinctive, five-hole 17-inch wheels, provide clues to its hard-edged nature.

Aston Martin says the manual-shift DB9 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds.
\r\n\r\nThe DB9 was the first car to be hand-built at a new state-of-the-art facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England. In addition to the coupe, a Volante convertible is also offered.
\r\n\r\nThe console controls are revised for 2006. Additional cabin stowage is provided, along with coat hooks. New standard equipment includes rear parking sensors, cruise control, heated front seats, power-folding side mirrors, an umbrella, a navigation system and Bluetooth phone preparation.
\r\n\r\nA long aluminum hood sits above a familiar Aston Martin grille, and side strakes are located in the front quarter panels. The body panels are aluminum or lightweight composites, while magnesium is used for the steering column and inner doorframes. Locating the gearbox at the rear helps achieve 50/50 weight distribution, and a full undertray reduces lift and drag. The DB9''s rear haunches are wide and curvaceous, and its profile features a prominent trunk. "Swan wing" doors rise at a 12-degree angle for easier access.
\r\n\r\nThe Volante''s fabric top folds underneath a hard tonneau cover that sits flush with the bodywork. Sensors can detect a potential rollover and deploy twin roll-hoops. Aston Martin says the windshield pillars can withstand twice the car''s body weight.
\r\n\r\nThe DB9 offers 2+2 seating that features Bridge of Weir leather. Walnut, mahogany or bamboo wood trim is available.
\r\n\r\nTo start the engine, the driver must press a clear glass button. The tachometer dial runs counterclockwise and has no conventional redline. Instead, a red warning symbol appears at various engine speeds depending on ambient temperature and engine mileage. The British firm Linn developed the 950-watt sound system.
\r\n\r\nThe DB9''s 6.0-liter V-12 produces 450 hp and 420 pounds-feet of torque. The ZF six-speed-automatic transmission uses buttons to select Drive, Park, Neutral and Reverse. A Touchtronic manual mode permits gear changes using paddles behind the steering wheel. A conventional Graziano six-speed-manual gearbox is also available.
\r\n\r\nAll-disc antilock brakes incorporate electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Seat-mounted side-impact airbags and Dynamic Stability Control are standard.
\r\n\r\nHandling is where the DB9 truly excels, hanging on with passion through swift curves and delivering a civilized experience. Confidence levels reach well beyond the sports-car norm. The suspension follows road contours closely, yet ride comfort is satisfying.
\r\n\r\nThe dashboard is packed with controls. Most markings are clear, but the gauges aren''t so easy to read.
\r\n\r\nThe V-12 generates a rich exhaust sound. Gear changes are quite easy using the dashboard selector buttons and steering-wheel paddles, and automatic mode does a fine job. After a momentary hesitation to downshift, the DB9 lunges ahead with unbridled force.
\r\n\r\nRear headroom is scant and legroom is virtually nonexistent, but the front compartment is roomy enough in a snug, separated cockpit. The front fenders are hard to see, but the rear window provides a helpful view.

Based on Aston Martin''s unique VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture, the Rapide combines the company''s commitment to power, beauty and soul with space and practicality for every eventuality. It stands for stylistic excellence, market innovation and flexible manufacturing. The Rapide is the epitome of Aston Martin’s low-volume, high-technology approach, the synergy of modern methods and materials with traditional skills to create a new form of craftsmanship for the 21st century. While the Rapide retains Aston Martin''s inherent design characteristics the additional length and extra doors build upon the DB9’s taut, poised stance, generating a natural, even flow and a dynamic sensation that''s conveyed even when the Rapide is standing still. “In terms of elegance the Rapide is adding value to the DB9’s undisputed elegance and subtle understatement,” says Dr Ulrich Bez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aston Martin. “Our cars must look beautiful from all angles, and the four-door is very well balanced.” Practicality and power are the Rapide''s signature qualities, but above all it is recognisably an Aston Martin, a testament to the strength of the marque''s design language. The Rapide''s four-door body provides greater access to the extended architecture, making it a performance car for every occasion. “The proportions must be perfect,” says Dr Bez, “if we couldn’t achieve this then we wouldn’t have made the car.”
\r\n\r\nLike all Aston Martins, the Rapide is a superlative performer. Powered by the V12 engine from the DB9 but uprated to 480 brake horsepower mated to a ZF Touchtronic gearbox, the car has performance equivalent to the DB9, although the gearing has been adjusted to suit the longer wheelbase and more refined ride. Carbon brakes and callipers, a first for Aston Martin, give the Rapide immense stability and stopping power. “A sports car is not simply characterised by the number of doors,” says Dr Bez, “so a four door car can still have the looks and performance of a sports car and the Rapide is certainly true to its name, providing an unrivalled way of taking four adults on a long-distance journey along any type of road.”
\r\n\r\nThe Rapide is serious about the business of driving, a chassis that is equally at home amongst winding back roads, mountain passes or high-speed carriageways. It has the expertise to devour trans-continental distances while leaving the driver feeling fresh and alert, however far or fast. The rich exhaust note is intended to be heard echoing off the sheer rock walls of the Alps, the steering demands to be taken to the switchbacks of Austria''s Grossglockner Pass, while the engine begs to be opened up along a stretch of German Autobahn. Although the power delivery is unrelenting, this is also a car designed for every day use, with ample space for a golfing weekend for three in Scotland, a lengthy trans-American journey or even a trip to a Bordeaux vineyard, with space to bring back 20 bottles of wine. You can sweep up to a hotel, restaurant or première and the four doors allow your passengers to enter and exit with style.

\r\n\r\nThe rear-wheel-drive Vanquish S remains unchanged for 2006 after replacing the standard Vanquish last year. Its 6.0-liter V12 gained 60 hp over the engine in the model it replaced.
\r\n\r\nThe steering, braking and suspension systems on the Vanquish S are also improvements over those of the discontinued standard Vanquish, and there are subtle changes to the exterior, including a tweaked front grille that allows better engine cooling and a splitter below the front bumper that aerodynamically improves high-speed stability.
\r\n\r\nThe Vanquish S is the fastest non-racing Aston Martin ever: It blasts from zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds and on to a top speed of more than 200 mph.
\r\n\r\nAston Martin offers a free Performance Driving Course to Vanquish S owners so that they may learn to safely optimize the car''s enormous potential. Driving schools are held in Lommel, Belgium, Millbrook in the U.K. and Romeo, Mich.
\r\n\r\nChanges to the Vanquish S'' six-speed, sequential-manual transmission improve midrange performance and shave two seconds from its 50-to-70-mph acceleration time (which is 6.5 seconds) compared to the standard Vanquish it replaces. The transmission can be shifted manually by flicking paddles behind the steering wheel — just like on a Formula One race car — or it can be left in automatic mode. It also includes a special program for winter driving when snow and ice compromise tire grip.
\r\n\r\nA limited-slip rear differential and electronic traction control work together to ensure that the tires don’t lose their grip around turns or on slick roads.
\r\n\r\nThe Vanquish S'' aluminum body panels shroud an aluminum and carbon-fiber structure whose pieces are bonded together using a special adhesive and an advanced technique taken from the aerospace industry. This technique, as well as the use of carbon fiber, is said to create superior structural rigidity and crash protection.
\r\n\r\nOnly about 1,500 Vanquish and Vanquish S models have been built since the former debuted in 2001. Elegant styling inside and out is restrained, in typical British fashion, and makes Ferraris and Lamborghinis look gaudy and flamboyant by comparison.
\r\n\r\nThe two-seat Vanquish S can be ordered with an optional backseat ($6,530), but it''s so cramped that not even children are likely to be comfortable in it. Interior styling and materials are exquisite, with rich leather, wood and aluminum trim throughout.
\r\n\r\nAs with most cars in this price range, interior and exterior finishes and materials can be customized. Functional options include a navigation system ($2,285), an integrated telephone ($1,500) and heated front seats ($375), all of which should be standard on a quarter-million-dollar supercar. Interestingly, there are no cupholders, but one can be added at no extra cost in place of a storage bin in the center console.

But the Vantage is no bulldog, the lines flow gracefully, front to back, a study in perpetual motion. Get a good look at the yawning Aston grille as the V8 charges towards you. You won''t get to look at it long. Soaring past, the sweeping hatchback flows into a high deck lid, with an integrated spoiler designed to maximize downforce at high speed.
\r\n\r\nUnder the sexy skin, the Vantage has much in common with the DB9, though with a wheelbase of 102.4 inches, the platform has been shortened a bit and there''ve been very minor changes made to the overall layout. But both share the same bonded aluminum structure. To put the benefits into perspective, the approach helped Aston double the structural rigidity compared to the old DB7, while cutting the weight of the chassis in half. Add a mix of steel, aluminum, and composite body panels, and weight is held to a modest 3461 pounds, or nearly a ton less than Bentley''s Continental GT.
\r\n\r\nLift the hood and you''ll under the aluminum crossbraces, Aston has jammed in an all-alloy, quad-overhead-cam, 32-valve 4.3-liter V-8 with variable inlet cam timing. Dry sump lubrication helps lower the engine and the overall center of gravity. The beast pumps out an impressive 383 brake horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque. That''s enough to launch the coupe from 0-60 in an impressive, if not benchmark 5.0 seconds. (And stay tuned, the ever-restless Bez hints that a track-tuned "R" edition may follow, pushing output up to the range of 100 to 120 hp per liter - normally aspirated.)
\r\n\r\nWe couldn''t resist the temptation to fire up that big V-8. Getting into the Vantage, you discover one of the more subtle but intriguing design elements carried over from the show car. Since the handles lay flush with the exterior panel, it takes a moment to figure out how to open the door. Once you get the hang of it, though, it''s elegantly simple.
\r\n\r\nUnlike the DB9, Aston chose to make no pretense of a back seat with Vantage. Instead, there''s a small but quite useful storage area complimenting the car''s modest but useful cargo compartment - which is large enough to contain a long weekend''s needs, or a pair of golf bags.
\r\n\r\nThe interior of our car was a gray-black monotone, elegantly laid out but a bit more sparse than we''d have expected. The headliner was a slick suede, the standard navigation system tucked away when not in use at the top of the center stack. But the feel of the instrument panel was just not quite as sophisticated as in the DB9, with its intriguing selection of materials, such as bamboo.
\r\n\r\nA minor quibble, of course, but some room for improvement. And while we niggle, there are other slight shortfalls for a car of this price tag, such as the lack of power-up windows. Launching out of a tollbooth, with our accelerator foot flat to the floor, we want both hands on the steering wheel, not the window button.
\r\n\r\nThat said, we found the seats comfortable yet extraordinarily supportive, even under the most aggressive driving. And the overall layout of the cockpit seemed both more intuitive and comfortable than the DB9''s.
\r\n\r\nWe slipped the key into the ignition and pressed the "start" button that dominates the center console. Our reward was immediate, a deep roar as the big V-8 came to life. Aston''s carefully tuned powertrain delivers a resonant baritone that has more in common with the classic American muscle car than the high-tech whine of a Porsche or Ferrari.
\r\n\r\nThe 6-speed manual transmission - the only gearbox offered on the Vantage - slipped smoothly into first, launching us out the villa''s long driveway and onto the sweeping back road towards Sienna. The shifter proved silky sweet, with extraordinarily short throws and a clutch that felt absolutely intuitive.
\r\n\r\nAs we wandered through Tuscany, during our three-day sojourn, we had the chance to test the Vantage in virtually every possible condition, from busy urban driving to open highways.
\r\n\r\nUnder hard acceleration, we found power came on a little bit slower than with a 911 Turbo, perhaps no surprise comparing the normally aspirated Aston with Porsche''s blower. But it would be hard to complain about performance unless you''re comparing the two cars at a stoplight. Once the Vantage got going, it didn''t want to stop, power coming on smoothly until we reached our own limits - well over 125 mph during one smooth and open stretch of back road.
\r\n\r\nUnder most conditions, the independent double wishbone suspension delivered as promised, with assistance from the rear spoiler, planting the Vantage down hard onto the tarmac. But on a few stretches of particularly rough and undulating pavement, it did seem to loosen up a bit at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Even then there was never a sense of losing control.
\r\n\r\nSteering was as good as it gets, turn-in quick and precise, the Vantage comparing favorably to the Ferrari F430 we had driven just a week prior. Blasting along the narrow roads of Tuscany requires a high degree of faith in the car you''re driving. You often need to skitter out of the way of oncoming traffic, and the best way to describe the Vantage is intuitive.
\r\n\r\nBraking proved equally impressive, the oversized rotors and discs firmly and confidently scrubbing off speed in an instant.

A car who''s very name means, "to reduce to submission by superior force, to conquer, overpower or overwhelm". With beautiful lines, the car has a certain presence, graceful yet vicious, a contemporary interpretation of the Aston Martin style, taking influence from the DB4GT Zagato and "Project" Le Mans race cars.
\r\n\r\nThe Vanquish is an 1800 kilo, F1 paddle shift, 460 bhp monster that can propel itself to 60 miles an hour in under 5 seconds. Combine this immense power with a top speed of 190 mph and you have probably the best GT on the market today.
\r\n\r\nArguably one of the most sophisticated cars on the road, Aston Martin''s current flagship takes full advantage of the latest materials and techniques. Built using a combination of aluminium and carbon fibre bonding, with revolutionary crash impact protection systems the Vanquish is also one of the safest cars on the road. After completing an exhaustive world-wide test programme, with fifty prototypes completing well over 1.0 million miles, the car is also unquestionably reliable.
\r\n\r\nThe technological advances are not solely to be found within the body of the car, the interior specification package is also very impressive. As standard in all V12''s you get the F1 style column mounted paddle shift gear selection system, a 1300 watt 13 speaker CD stereo, traction control and a wheel spin protection system. Aston Martin also offer a wide range of options including satellite navigation and an in car phone system.
\r\n\r\nFrom the very key turn, the Vanquish "bursts" into life, with the inexorably rapturous sounds of the hand crafted and precision tuned V12 48V engine (an upgraded and slightly modified version of the DB7 powerhouse ). From inside, the engine murmurs pleasantly, giving a noise level comparable with many luxury cars. This all changes when you start to engage the car more in a higher rev range, as the engine roars satisfyingly before you explode forwards.
\r\n\r\nIn its drive, the Vanquish handles as well as any sports car gliding around tight bends and corners as though on a set of rails! This amazingly nimble ride and handling is due, mainly, to the new chassis, which, as well as having extreme strength, produces a low and centralised centre of gravity, giving a great deal of stability.
\r\n\r\nThe power delivery is also a joy through all gears and rev ranges, giving an equal power distribution with no flat spots throughout. This power is clearly demonstrated when the car accelerates right through the 7000 rev range to 90 miles per hour, in only second gear. Alongside as the standard manual drive, the Vanquish features a "sport" and "fully automatic mode". In sport mode, the gear ratios are adjusted to give the car a sportier feel, when down-shifting, the engine is also revved, creating a great sound and also ensuring power is not lost through the gear change. In fully automatic, the onboard computers handle the drive completely, automatically changing gears as needed, the driver can also use “kick-down” to force the Vanquish into a lower gear, giving a burst of power. The addition of a winter programme also automatically reduces the car''s power and torque, resulting in a much more controllable drive in icy or unpredictable conditions.
\r\n\r\nThe car also a joy to drive at lower speeds, equally at home touring the countryside or in urban environments. In the latter case, the V12''s surprisingly good visibility and steering ensure a confident drive with easy manoeuvring and parking characteristics.
\r\n\r\nThe purchase package of an Aston Martin is also notable. If you are not happy with the standard (but extensive) colour and trim combinations, Aston promise, for a small fee, to match the colour of the car to any other manufacturers colour or even any sample colour from any source.
\r\n\r\nThe attention to detail on this car is astounding, and illustrated perfectly when looking at the paintwork. Firstly the paint is applied followed by the lacquer, this is allowed to dry before the whole of the body work is hand sanded and re-lacquered and varnished giving a finish not seen on many other cars, the effect is a so smooth you can see mirror like reflections without any of the "orange peel" effects seen on even some comparable cars.
\r\n\r\nThe interior is also beautiful with luscious leathers and trim hand crafted giving an opulent and high quality finish. From September 2002, Aston Martin are also using custom-built switchgear, to replace the current buttons and stalks, the majority of which appear to be lifted from a Ford Focus. The new set have been custom designed for the vehicle and promise to be every bit as high quality as the rest of the interior.
\r\n\r\nThe Vanquish is available as either a two seater with rear shelf or, a two plus two. While the cabin is very spacious, the two rear seats (if opted for) are somewhat cramped, unlikely to comfortably seat two adults.
\r\n\r\nPricing starts at around £165 000 (in line with a reasonable house ). While many would argue this is a massive amount of money for a car, you do get what you pay for with the Vanquish. A hand built performance vehicle with great heritage, as much a status symbol as object of desire. This is not a car bought for its practicality, but for its character. The Vanquish stands proud as Aston Martin’s flagship model, and as one of the very finest cars in the world (proven with a 12 month minimum waiting list).
\r\n\r\nThe new V12 Vanquish is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced new model ever to be designed and developed by Aston Martin. Built at Newport Pagnell, V12 Vanquish will become Aston Martins premier flagship model complementing the already well established DB7 Vantage models.
\r\n\r\nAvailable in either two plus two or two seater form, V12 Vanquish will be powered by a 450 bhp (336kW) version of Aston Martin''s 6.0 litre 48 valve, four cam V12 engine, and each car will be handbuilt and equipped, in true Aston Martin tradition to the exact and individual requirement of its owner.
\r\n\r\nEngine - Further development of Aston Martin’s low emissions, all alloy, twin overhead camshaft, 48 valve 6.0 litre V12 engine with new design inlet manifolds, camshafts, valve gear, crankshaft and exhaust system has resulted in an increase in power to 460bhp and an increase in torque to 400 lb.ft. With the catalysts located immediately adjacent to the exhaust manifold they achieve optimum operating efficiency within 30 seconds to further reduce emissions. To ensure that heat from the engine and exhaust system is insulated from the body structure the entire exhaust system and the front bulkhead is clad in a heat resistant material first developed within the aerospace industry. A unique engine oil to water heat exchanger accelerates and assists operating efficiency together with an ionised gas misfire detection system which provides continuous monitoring of each of the engine’s 12 cylinders.
\r\n\r\nTransmission - The six speed close ratio manual transmission which is installed in the new V12 Vanquish is linked to the electronic drive-by-wire throttle and controlled through twin paddles mounted on the steering column. Developed exclusively for Aston Martin, the advanced paddle shift gear change incorporates electronics matched to hydraulics to facilitate instantaneous gear changes. Sophisticated electronics also permit the manual transmission to operate automatically with the additional facility of a programme for winter driving conditions which automatically reduces the power and torque of the engine.
\r\n\r\nBrakes, Suspension and Steering - Anti-lock, ventilated and drilled 355mm (front) and 330mm (rear) diameter Brembo disc brakes are fitted to the aluminium alloy road wheels. These are combined with variable ratio power steering and independent front and rear suspension systems which incorporate forged aluminium wishbones and cast aluminium front suspension uprights. The rear axle is equipped with a limited slip differential operating in tandem with electronic traction control which senses potential wheel slippage and automatically reduces engine power and if necessary applies the rear brake system. The Yokohama 255/40 ZR 19 front and 285/40 ZR 19 rear tyres are mounted on 19" diameter wheels with 9" width rims at the front and 10" width rims at the rear. Individual tyre pressures and temperatures are monitored through an automatic electronic sensing system.

\r\n\r\nLike the coupe, the DB7 Volante''s styling is the work of TWR design chief Ian Callum. He said although he knew about a plan about the open version, but while he figured out the shape of the DB7 coupe he focused on the closed version only.It worked: the transition from fixed-head to droph-head looks straightforward. Park the two cars side by side, however and the differences will be noticeable: every panel aft of the B-pillar has been re-sculpted, the fuel filler has moved from C-pillar to wing top and the bootlid is much longer and flatter.
\r\n\r\nTo pass the tough US safety requirements the rear bumper had to be extended by 78 mm. The soft-top and retractable rear windows are making the two rear seats useless. Otherwise the cabin looks the same.

These figures speak for themselves, even when compared with vehicles with a classic 6-speed manual gearbox. The differences compared with the conventional geared automatic transmission with torque converter are even more impressive, since the latter is prone to significantly higher transmission losses due to its fundamental concept.
\r\n\r\nThe source of the power is the proven 3.2-liter V6 engine with four valves per cylinder. The six-cylinder engine is particularly well-suited to the sporty Audi TT by virtue of its outstanding torque and power characteristics, especially in combination with the new twin-clutch transmission. The engine now delivers 250 bhp and a broad peak-torque range with a maximum value of 236 lb-ft from 2,800 to 3,200 rpm.
\r\n\r\nThrottle valve actuation is designed for an exceptionally agile, spontaneous engine response to accelerator pedal movements. The way it interacts particularly with the ultra-rapid, precise control technology of the new Direct-Shift Gearbox with twin clutch opens up an entirely new dimension in propulsive power. The close connection between throttle and transmission control is made particularly apparent by active throttle blips during downshifts in the selector lever position S and in the manual gate.
\r\n\r\nThe sound of the dual-branch variable exhaust system suitably reflects these sporting characteristics. A flap in the exhaust system is opened or shut depending on engine speed and the acoustics influenced accordingly. The sonorous sound never becomes over-assertive, even at high engine speeds, yet it unmistakably conjures up all the sentiments that sports-minded TT drivers appreciate.
\r\n\r\nThe revolutionary Direct-Shift Gearbox combines the advantages of a conventional 6-speed manual gearbox with the qualities of a modern automatic transmission. The driver thus benefits from enormous agility and driving enjoyment with acceleration that is as harmonious as it is dynamic, without any interruption in the power flow. This is combined with good economy thanks to low fuel consumption, and convenient operation.
\r\n\r\nThe basis for this new development is a three-shaft 6-speed manual gearbox which offers considerable variability in the selection of the transmission ratio. Thanks to the use of a twin multi-plate clutch with ingenious electro-hydraulic control, two gears can be engaged at the same time.
\r\n\r\nDuring dynamic operation of the car, one gear is engaged. When the next gearshift point is approached, the appropriate gear is preselected, but its clutch kept disengaged. The gearshift process opens the clutch of the activated gear and closes the other clutch at the same time with a certain overlap. The gear change takes place under load, with the result that a permanent flow of power is maintained.

The rhombus-pattern single-frame grille, the additional air outlets and the new RS 4 wheels lend the open-top four-seater a highly dynamic flavour.
\r\n\r\nInside, the seats are the main feature distinguishing the RS 4 Cabriolet from the Avant and saloon. Whereas the other two body versions are equipped with RS bucket seats, the Cabriolet comes with sports seats as standard, though RS bucket seats can be ordered as an option. The most important information units in the Cabriolet are combined beneath a domed cover.
\r\n\r\nThe electro-hydraulic hood can be opened entirely automatically in 21 seconds. The roof can be operated at up to speeds of 30 km/h. This makes it possible to open or close the roof when out and about in town, for instance, or before parking the car. The glass rear window is heated. This guarantees a clear view to the rear in all weather. The acoustic hood, a standard feature of the\r\nRS 4 Cabriolet, sets new standards for soft tops. New fabrics of a higher material density and an additional cushioned mat around the C-post keep the noise level inside the car with the hood almost on a par with the saloon.
\r\n\r\nAs with the saloon and Avant, the ride height of the Cabriolet has been lowered by 30 millimetres compared with the A4 Cabriolet. This emphasises the car''s sporty appearance.
\r\n\r\nEven if the Audi Cabriolet''s weight has been rigorously trimmed down, in common with all other RS 4 models no corners have been cut with either its equipment or its standards of safety.
\r\n\r\nThe further improved crash strength of the latest A4 Cabriolet generation has likewise benefited the open-top RS 4. The front and side airbags are standard features, as are the rollover bars that extend behind the rear seats in the event of the car overturning.
\r\n\r\nThe 420 bhp V8 revs up to a speed of 8,250 rpm. With its displacement of 4,163 cm3, this outstanding engine breaks through the magic barrier for a production saloon of 100 bhp per litre. The highly compact power unit reaches its peak torque of 430 Nm at 5,500 rpm. At least 90 percent of the maximum torque is available between 2,250 and 7,600 rpm. The result is excellent pulling power at all times, enabling the driver to drive in a relaxed style without frequent gear changes.
\r\n\r\nAudi''s RS 4 saloon employs groundbreaking FSI technology. The petrol direct-injection unit delivers enhanced power output based on more efficient combustion of the fuel/air mixture. The engine is also more responsive. The performance of the RS 4 clearly demonstrates this progress: it reaches the\r\n100 km/h mark in 4.8 seconds (Avant 4.9 seconds, Cabriolet 4.9 seconds), and 200 km/h in 16.6 seconds (16.9 seconds; 17.5 seconds). On all three versions, the speed is governed electronically when the needle reaches 250 km/h.
\r\n\r\nAudi has deployed the high-revving engine principle for the first time in the RS 4. The advantages of this principle are superior power output at high engine speeds, a smooth power flow and eager responsiveness all across the revs range. Further fortes are the car''s outstanding agility and fast-revving response as well as the kind of racing-style engine sound that drivers of such cars simply expect.
\r\n\r\nAs a result of these qualities, the eight-cylinder power unit provides maximum thrust and performance in virtually all driving situations. The constant flow of power from bottom-end speeds all the way up to 8,250 rpm is equally appropriate for a relaxing driving style with minimum gearshifting and for exploits worthy of the racetrack.
\r\n\r\nThe V8 power unit is ultra-compact in its dimensions, fitting snugly into the engine compartment of the RS 4 without necessitating any modifications to the body. The camshaft and ancillaries, with the exception of the alternator, are all driven by a chain for easy maintenance. An all-new development, the eight-cylinder unit powering the RS 4 includes such features as modified pistons and con rods, a new crankshaft together with its bearings, and new cylinder heads.
\r\n\r\nA dual-branch exhaust system with enlarged pipes provides even higher power output. These extensive measures have enabled the 4,163 cm3 engine to break through the magical 100 bhp per litre barrier.\r\n\r\nThe car''s power-to-weight ratio is also impressive: 3.93 kg per bhp is a figure that only the most thoroughbred sports cars were able to offer just a few years ago. The figure for the Avant is only slightly higher.
\r\n\r\nAudi translates the engine''s power into locomotion in typical style: the latest generation of quattro permanent four-wheel drive, which featured first in the RS 4 saloon and offers a asymmetric/dynamic torque split of 40 (front axle) to 60 (rear axle) in conjunction with the self-locking centre differential, is one of the main reasons why the RS 4 is still able to provide traction when other drive concepts have long since reached their limits. quattro drive is further enhanced by the DRC suspension system (Dynamic Ride Control), which significantly reduces the rolling and pitching movements of the vehicle about its transverse axis and rear axle.
\r\n\r\nThe 30 millimetre lower ride height compared with an Audi A4, the wider track at the front and rear axle and the sporty spring and damper settings help the RS 4 to meet the developers'' ambitious handling objectives and place it in the realm of a genuine sports car. The brakes, too, represent new dimensions in their innovation. The 18-inch format provides optimum deceleration.
\r\n\r\nFloating, perforated, ventilated brake discs measuring 365 millimetres in diameter are fitted at the front, and there are likewise perforated, ventilated brake discs at the rear with a diameter of 324 millimetres. The specifically flow-enhanced brake ventilation incorporating NACA jets on the underbody of the car ensures optimum cooling of the brakes, however high a load they are subjected to.
\r\n\r\nThe latest generation of ESP has been modified specifically to suit the particular properties of this high-performance vehicle. It now intervenes later and for shorter periods. It is also possible to disable the ESP in two stages. In the first stage only the traction control (ASR) function is disabled; the other ESP functions remain fully active. In the second stage the ESP is completely deactivated, including the traction control. All electronic control then ceases.
\r\n\r\nThe servotronic steering has been specially tuned to the requirements of a sports car. With its direct response and short travel, it is outstandingly well suited to the overall character of all RS 4 versions.
\r\n\r\nAudi has likewise adapted the six-speed gearbox to the handling requirements of a sports car. With its precision navigating through the shift gate and its short travel, it enhances driving pleasure and prompts the driver to change gear more often than the universally free-revving engine actually needs.

\r\n\r\nUnderhood, however, is where the real wattage lies. Borrowed from the Lamborghini Gallardo and tweaked just right, the S8''s 5.2-liter V-10 engine is an aluminum jewel that weighs in at just 485 pounds--44 pounds less than the M5''s V-10--yet produces 450 horses and 398 pound-feet. From Gallardo to S8, the V-10 has undergone myriad modifications, most notable a bump from 4961 to 5204 cc and the implementation of direct fuel injection. Power dips 63 ponies compared with the Lambo V-10, but torque rises 22 pound-feet. Other alterations include a higher compression ratio--12.5:1 compared with 11.0:1--and a less frenetic 7000-rpm redline, compared with the Lambo''s 8100. Mated to a six-speed Tiptronic automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the S8''s V-10 matches the pony total of another Audi monster, the 6.0-liter W-12.
\r\n\r\nOut on the autobahn, the S8 rumbles much like its W-12 brethren, delivering the kind of endless power that appears to build gradually until you realize 100 kph (62 mph) can be eclipsed in about the time it takes to count one hand''s fingers, and 250 kph (155 mph) seems the ideal pace to set the cruise control. Keeping a leash on that power are carbon-ceramic brake discs, which will be a post-release option; initial S8s will get steel discs. The ride, even hampered by 35-series Pirellis and the firmest "dynamic" air-suspension setting, feels taut, yet supple enough for jaunts to the theater.
\r\n\r\nWith the V-10 generating no more horsepower than the W-12, why opt for the S8? Audi says a well-equipped S8 will sticker for under $100,000, which is a sizeable discount compared with the $120,610 W-12. The S8 is far sportier than the W-12, with its standard 20-inch wheels, 5.1-inch-shorter wheelbase, a ride height lowered by 0.8 inch, a stiffer adaptive air suspension, quicker steering, and a rear-biased Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Plus, the S8 gets Audi''s sexy S treatment, which includes aluminum-look side-mirror housings, an integrated trunklid spoiler, four oval exhaust tips, LED daytime-running lights, and a prominent grille with chrome-like vertical struts. The treatment pours over inside, where carbon fiber and brushed-aluminum inlays beautify the dash, console, and doors; light-gray S gauges relay pertinent info; and Valcona leather adorns the standard two-tone sport seats.

\r\n\r\nThe A8 L''s rear doors are 5 inches longer than those on the shorter-wheelbase version for easy entry and exit. For 2006, five-spoke alloy wheels hold standard 18-inch tires, but 19-inch tires are available in the Sport package.
\r\n\r\nFive people fit inside the A8 and A8 L. The driver faces a multifunction four-spoke steering wheel and uses an electromechanical parking brake.
\r\n\r\nFine wood trim extends to the sides of the interior and complement Valcona leather upholstery. Power front seats can be equipped with massage, heating and ventilating functions. The premium Bose surround sound system includes a CD changer and 12 speakers. Audi Exclusive packages for 2006 A8 models include contrasting black piping and unique wood trim.
\r\n\r\nAudi''s 4.2-liter V-8 produces 335 hp and drives a six-speed-automatic transmission that permits Tiptronic manual gear selection and a Dynamic Shift Program that reduces the number of gear changes needed. All A8s have quattro all-wheel drive.
\r\n\r\nStandard equipment includes antilock brakes and 10 airbags, including knee airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, and side curtain-type airbags.

Developing a maximum output of 420 bhp, the V8 revs up to a speed of 8250 rpm. With its displacement of 4163 cc, this engine exceeds the magical barrier of 100 bhp per litre - truly outstanding in a production saloon. Maximum torque of 317 lb-ft comes at 5500 rpm in this very compact engine, with 90 per cent of the engine’s torque consistently available between 2250 and 7600 rpm. The result is excellent muscle and pulling force at all times, enabling the driver whenever he – or she – wishes to drive in truly relaxed style without frequent gear changes.
\r\n\r\nAudi has chosen its trendsetting and groundbreaking FSI technology for the RS 4 saloon, direct gasoline injection ensuring even more effective combustion of the fuel/air mixture and, as a result, an even better power yield. This is matched by the highly responsive development of power, the RS 4 accelerating to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds and reaching 125 mph in 16.6 seconds. Top speed is cut off electronically at 155 mph.
\r\n\r\nThe challenge, of course, is to get all this power on to the road in perfect style and with optimum handling. And for no less than 25 years, Audi’s answer to all the particular requirements in this respect has been that magical name “quattro”. Now the latest generation of Audi’s permanent four-wheel drive featured for the first time in the RS 4 offers asymmetric/dynamic torque distribution and a self-locking Torsen centre differential, making a significant contribution in enabling the RS 4 with its sports suspension to enter new dimensions in driving dynamics. Indeed, Audi quattro technology still provides traction when other drive concepts have long reached their limits. And in this case quattro drive is further enhanced by Audi’s DRC Dynamic Ride Control, significantly reducing both body roll and dive.
\r\n\r\nThe brakes also enter new dimensions, an 18-inch brake system ensuring optimum stopping power. The cross-drilled, inner-vented brake discs at the front measure 365 millimeters in diameter, as opposed to 324-millimetre brake discs at the rear. Flow-optimized ventilation geometry incorporating Naca jets on the underfloor of the car ensures first-class cooling of the brakes under all conditions.
\r\n\r\nThe RS 4 features racing technology in civilian clothes. While many of its features look similar to the new Audi A4, the RS 4 is far more than just a “fast” derivative of Audi’s highly successful midrange saloon. Quite simply because the car is an almost entirely brand-new development tailored to the highest performance requirements.
\r\n\r\nThe single-frame radiator grille, the rear section with the distinctly horizontal orientation of the car’s lines, and the side surfaces with the shoulder line plastically filling in the car’s contours, all prove that the RS 4 is a member of the A4 family. However, the radiator grille in diamond look, the additional air intake scoops in the front section, as well as the wheels developed specifically for the RS 4, clearly set the car aside from a “normal” Audi A4.
\r\n\r\nThe newly designed rear air dam encompassing two extra-large tailpipes as well as the discreet but highly effective spoiler integrated in the luggage compartment lid and the rear side panels all bear clear testimony to the saloon’s dynamic driving potential also in terms of their looks. Compared with the Audi A4, the entire body of the car has been lowered by 30 millimeters. And at the same time the development engineers at quattro GmbH have widened the car’s track both front and rear. At the end of the day, however, all these modifications to the body of the car are significant not only in terms of design, but also above all in terms of function.
\r\n\r\nInside, the RS 4 combines the straightforward function of a sports car with the luxurious ambience so typical of all Audi models. The dominating materials are leather, aluminium, and carbon. But at the same time the RS 4 comes with all the additional qualities so typical of a genuine sports car.
\r\n\r\nThis superiority becomes clear immediately when you take your seats in the car: The RS bucket seats with their high side sections provide excellent support. A further feature of these bucket seats is the control button on each seat for inflating the side support elements adjusting perfectly to the driver’s anatomy. The sports steering wheel tapering down at the bottom and the engine starter button on the centre console, in turn, are also clearly reminiscent of motorsport, just like the aluminium pedals.
\r\n\r\nYou start the engine of the Audi RS 4 by pressing the starter button housed conveniently in the centre console right next to the driver. Pressing the sports button in the steering wheel, in turn, the driver is able to modify the gas pedal control map, giving the engine even sharper and more direct response.

\r\n\r\nUnder the hood, technology such as dual overhead camshafts, variable valve timing, and five valves per cylinder help the 2006 Audi S4''s V-8 churn out 340 horsepower. With Audi''s stalwart Quattro system driving all four wheels, the S4 remains composed and predictable, and electronic stability controls keep the power from overwhelming the tires on loose surfaces.
\r\n\r\nThe face of the redesigned S4 features the signature Audi chrome-ringed grille, but the car is otherwise discreetly more masculine than the 2006 Audi A4 and pleasantly purposeful to behold. Sporting the bulging wheel arches of the new A4 but with rocker-panel cladding and a small rear spoiler, the S4 is different enough to be discernable but not showy. Our car''s understated Light Silver Metallic paint ($475) fit the confident character of the styling; brighter colors will likely make the wide snout stand out more.
\r\n\r\nWith an MSRP of around $46,000 and our car''s as-tested price at $56,045, the 2006 Audi S4 is substantially dearer than the V-6-equipped A4, starting at about $36,000 for a Quattro.

\r\n\r\nDesigned and developed in parallel with the Continental GT coupe at Bentley''s design studios and facilities in Crewe to ensure consistency in their visual appearance and in their on-going engineering and development programme.
\r\n\r\nPricing for the new Continental Flying Spur is yet to be finalised but Bentley expects a similar price structure to that of the Continental GT coupe.
\r\n\r\nWhen work began on the Continental GT coupe in 1999, a simultaneous programme was instigated for a four-door version that would mirror the performance and design qualities of the coupe and also provide unparalleled levels of space and comfort in a way that only a Bentley can. The results of that forward-thinking approach are now clear as the Continental Flying Spur is unveiled for the first time.
\r\n\r\nSumptuous levels of space and comfort are a given in the Continental Flying Spur. The quality of the overall design and cabin interior is simply without rival and only another Bentley can match the craftsmanship that has gone into making this elegant and opulent four-door Grand Tourer.
\r\n\r\nThe Continental Flying Spur shares the clean and muscular appearance of the Continental GT coupe with a short front overhang and dominant matrix radiator grille.
\r\n\r\nThe generous wheelbase of the Continental Flying Spur''s chassis means spacious rear legroom for passengers and an impressive canvas on which Bentley''s interior design team could set to work. Customers will have the option of a four-seat layout with a central console between two electrically-powered rear seats or a five-seat cabin with full-width rear seat. Throughout the interior, familiar Bentley trademarks make their presence felt with bullseye ventilation outlets and organ stop controls in the front and rear. Leather or wood veneers on every interior surface combine to give a traditional yet contemporary environment for the driver and passengers alike.
\r\n\r\nWith 552bhp at your disposal and an advanced all-wheel drive system to ensure that power is delivered in a controlled and measured fashion, the Continental Flying Spur has the performance to match its appearance.
\r\n\r\nAs with every Bentley, this is a driver''s car first and foremost. In common with the Continental GT coupe, the car''s extremely stiff steel chassis allows the advanced air suspension system to regulate safely the handling and balance of a four-door with supercar performance: a top speed in excess of 190mph and 0-62mph (100km/h) in around five seconds. However, such is the breadth of its dynamic capability, the Continental Flying Spur also delivers supreme comfort for long, relaxed journeys.
\r\n\r\nBentley''s renowned powertrain development was rightly praised at the launch of the Continental GT coupe and the combination of that phenomenal twin-turbocharged, 12-cylinder engine with a smooth, six-speed ''paddleshift'' ZF gearbox with Tiptronic actuation is carried over into the Continental Flying Spur.
\r\n\r\nA Bentley engine is unlike any other in the world and the Continental Flying Spur''s is no exception. Maximum torque is available from just 1600rpm and continues unabated throughout the powerband, meaning the driver can call upon exceptional reserves of power in an instant.
\r\n\r\nThe Continental Flying Spur''s permanent all-wheel drive system ensures that even in poor weather and road conditions, the awesome power and torque remain accessible to the driver without the constant intervention of the traction control system.
\r\n\r\nThe advanced six-speed transmission allows the driver to use the gearbox as a conventional automatic or opt to change gears ''manually'' using either the gearlever or the paddles mounted behind the wheel. Whatever mode the gearbox is set to, the powertrain operates with seamless efficiency and provides brilliant shift quality. In its four-door application it has also been extensively recalibrated to provide almost imperceptible shifts when being used in a more relaxed fashion.

\r\n\r\nFor good measure and great acceleration, the Flying Spur employs a ZF six-speed automatic transmission with an especially aggressive first gear (14.68 to 1) and steering wheel-mounted paddles to let you crack the whip manually even when you leave the Tiptronic shift lever in "drive."
\r\n\r\nThe extreme effects of such an execution of power are a snap-launch off the line — Bentley figures it''s got a 4.9-second 0-to-60 car here — and a forward rush that finds itself a home in virtually any gear all the way up to the engine''s 6,500-rpm redline. At the top end of top gear, the Continental Flying Spur has been witnessed reaching 195 mph.
\r\n\r\nFrom inside the Flying Spur, however, you''ll notice a grand total of none of this acceleration drama. Rather, you''ll be entranced by the flood of premium leather covering everything from the seats and door panels to the rear parcel shelf and headliner. That which isn''t leather appears to be wood — unbleached, unstained and mirror-matched (door-to-door) farm-grown walnut, with other veneers available.
\r\n\r\nYour pleasure-seeking side will be further shocked into complacency by the Flying Spur''s multizone climate control, a top-flight audio system with six-disc CD changer in the glovebox and a Breitling analog clock in the dash. The Bentley''s front seats feature 16-way electrical adjustment, plus heating controls, lumbar adjustment and a pulsing massage at the touch of a button. The rear seats also cater to passengers'' whims of warmth adjustment and legroom.
\r\n\r\nThe double-wishbone front and multilink rear air spring suspension, too, supports your non-patrician leanings into high-speed corners. The setup is cockpit adjustable to four settings from comfort to sport, but the change is so transparent from in the cockpit that it''s hard to really appreciate unless you are following another Flying Spur into a good corner on a bad road. That way you can watch the road surface try to shake loose the car''s poise, and fail virtually every time.
\r\n\r\nThe combination of the Bentley''s suspension, its full-time all-wheel drive, and its ESP traction and stability system narrows the number of off-road-incidence excuses to one: stupidity. The Continental Flying Spur is an easy car to drive fast and an easy car to drive quick, but it''s also an easy car to drive easy.

While the Arnage T is one of the most powerful road cars in Bentley''s 84-year history, the Arnage RL is at the very opposite end of the spectrum as it offers unparalleled opulence. In the middle of the lineup is the Arnage R, a car that carries on the tradition of the Arnage Red Label and opts for refinement over power, but still offers plenty of both. Unique 19-inch wheels are standard on the Arnage T.
\r\n\r\nAll Arnage models come with the same 6.75-liter, twin-turbo V8. In the Arnage T, that power plant is good for 450 horsepower and an astonishing 645 pound-feet of torque. The Arnage R and RL offer slightly less power at 400 hp and a still impressive 615 lb-ft of torque. As expected, the power delivery is seamless; although, the automatic transmission occasionally takes too much time to make up its mind.
\r\n\r\nThe Bentley Arnage features stability control, traction control, side and head airbags for front and rear passengers, front and rear parking sensors, four-wheel ABS, engine immobilizer and child safety-seat anchors.
\r\n\r\nBentley offers a very high level of customization in each Arnage. Cabins can be furnished in a classic English fashion with lots of wood and leather, or a more modern approach can be taken with such features as a DVD entertainment system, personal computer with wireless keyboard, television set and a host of audio systems, including multi-CD changers and an MP3 player. Even in the normal length-wheelbase trim, the Arnage offers more than ample hip-, leg- and headroom. The rear seats are living-room comfortable and the front seats offer equal comfort with a bit of support added.
\r\n\r\nGiven its nearly three-ton girth, the 2005 Bentley Arnage is surprisingly nimble and athletic. This car corners with all the verve of a much smaller sedan. The Arnage, especially the T, handles any kind of input from the driver so well that it''s easy to forget the battleshiplike dimensions being tossed around. Acceleration is downright impressive, but then again, more than 600 lb-ft of torque has a way of making anything feel quick. On the open highway, the Arnage has a stately feel that one would expect of an ultraluxury car. There is little road noise, but some wind noise does make its way into the cabin.

Sound quality was incredible, but imaging was slightly off, perhaps due to the placement of the mid-bass so far away from the tweeters. Again, a very minor complaint and almost not worth mentioning.
\r\n\r\nFinally, what ultra-luxury vehicle would be complete without a navigation system? The Arnage R answers the call with a dash mounted, motorized LCD screen that elegantly raises or lowers itself from the top of the dash. There''s a DVD player and six-disc CD changer for those who require entertainment while driving.
\r\n\r\nThe twin-turbo charged, 6.75 liter pushrod operated V8 loves to be pushed. It was shocking to feel this vehicle accelerate like it did - with 600+ foot-pounds of torque available at 3000 rpm, there''s little that will stop the Bentley from going where it wants to go.
\r\n\r\nThe smaller, Garrett T3 turbo chargers increase throttle response and eliminate virtually any turbo lag (which is common in traditional single turbo charged V8''s). When you mash the gas, there''s no waiting - you simply go! And go, and go and go.
\r\n\r\nWith all of that power on tap (0 to 60 comes in less than 6 seconds, according to Bentley), you''d think the 5,700lb vehicle would be a bear to stop or turn. Wrong on both accounts.
\r\n\r\nThe Bentley Arnage R handles like a car 1/2 its size. It swallows up corners like only a canyon carver can, and it brakes like a sports car thanks to large, 13.7" front disc brakes and equally large 13.5" rear discs.

To achieve this, the external cockpit area has been much reduced, though the car is actually more spacious inside, making a smaller hole in the air and allowing the car to use a much smaller, more aerodynamic engine cover.
\r\n\r\nIn addition, the air-intake that had sat on top of the car in previous generation Speed 8s has been deleted in favour of snorkel-type intakes on the sides of the car. This not only further increases the efficiency of the air-flow over the car, it also lowers the height of the car, lending it a much more sleek, aggressive appearance. Early testing results have indicated that not only does the 2003 Speed 8 have a more favourable downforce to drag ratio than its predecessor, it also offers much more consistent aerodynamic performance in all conditions making the car both quicker and easier to drive.
\r\n\r\nUnderneath the new skin the 4-litre engine has been re-engineered around the new regulations for 2003 that dictated a 10 per cent reduction in engine restrictor size across all classes competing at Le Mans. It has been necessary to redesign many internal engine components as well as evolve a new electronics strategy for the engine to minimise the shortfall in power that the new regulations will bring to all competing teams.
\r\n\r\nThe suspension has been entirely redesigned as well, partly to improve further its behaviour, but also so it can be adapted to suit its new Michelin tyres. All the geometry has been changed, even the mounting points of the rear suspension on the gearbox.

Its turbocharged and intercooled six and three-quarter litre Bentley V8 engine produces 400bhp (405PS, 298kW) and 619lb.ft. (835Nm) of torque.
\r\n\r\nDeveloped for the Arnage, every aspect of the engine has been designed to meet the requirements - and expectations - of the driver. Hand-assembled at Bentley Motors, it is refined, efficient and capable of effortless performance. On paper, the performance statistics speak for themselves. From a standing start, a Bentley Arnage Red Label accelerates to 60mph in 5.9 seconds (0-100kph in 6.3 secs), and through to 100mph (160kph) just over 9 seconds later, where conditions permit. Maximum speed is limited to 155mph (249kph), at which tyre and suspension refinement is maintained.
\r\n\r\nOn the road, the manner in which this performance is achieved is all the more remarkable. Unlike most turbocharged motor cars, there is no delay in engine pick-up when the throttle is opened, the reserves of torque at low engine revs allowing an instant response before the turbocharger seamlessly cuts in at 1200rpm. The liquid cooled turbocharging system is particularly effective, increasing engine output both strongly and progressively as boost pressure rises. For overtaking, the engine management system permits a short period of turbocharger overboost, increasing the effect of the system by up to 85%. The result is a feeling of ceaseless acceleration from any engine speed, a tide of torque that appears to swell, but never subside.
\r\n\r\nThe ''high torque, low revving'' design of the six and three-quarter litre engine also makes the Arnage an extremely relaxed tourer. Having prodigious torque low in the rev range means that progress can be made without extending the engine beyond the quietest reaches of its operation. This heightens the impression of the engine refinement, but is not in itself responsible for it; close attention has been paid to the reduction of noise and vibrations to ensure that the engine is as unobtrusive as possible.
\r\n\r\nUnwelcome noise has been eliminated at every opportunity, from the exhaust system (tuneful and charismatic under full throttle, yet subdued around town or when cruising) to the cooling fan (which features unequally-spaced blades for minimal sound). And the innate smoothness of the engine''s 90 degree ''V'' configuration is improved even further through fine manufacturing tolerances and by individually balancing each engine during assembly.
\r\n\r\nFor a motor car that offers spacious and comfortable accommodation, the Arnage has an agility that belies its size. Responsive steering allows the driver to place the motor car on the road with accuracy are surety, and as the Arnage is guided into a corner, feedback through the rim of the steering wheel provides a steady stream of information about the reserves of grip available. Tracking through a bend, the double-wishbone independent suspension operates quickly and effectively, the result of a rigid bodyshell and electronically-controlled hydraulic dampers than can react to changes in the car''s attitude within 1/100th of a second.
\r\n\r\nTo the driver, the sensation is one of being in control of a much smaller motor car, where response to driver input is immediate and weight-transfer under acceleration, braking and cornering is fully contained.
\r\n\r\nAs well as accessing more aggressive suspension settings, the sports mode also affects the transmission, enacting an uncompromising gearshift pattern. Downward gearshifts can be induced with a lighter throttle opening, and gear ratios are held for longer, upshifts only occurring when the engine has reached maximum power.
\r\n\r\nBraking performance completes the dynamic profile, granting the driver total control over the motor car, and confidence when on the road. Servo-assisted, and featuring multi-channel anti-lock system, the brakes are capable of slowing Arnage swiftly and safely. Large single fist calipers clamp 348mm vented discs at the front, whilst 345mm vented discs are used at the rear; a set-up which allows Arnage to brake from 60mph to standstill in just 2.85 seconds (40 metres). Pedal feel always imparts confidence, accuracy and firmness helping the driver judge the exact amount of effort needed for the deceleration required.
\r\n\r\nThe interior of the Arnage offers superb accommodation to its occupants, whether they are driving or being driven. Because noise and vibration through the engine, transmission, suspension and steering were addressed during the motor car''s development, refinement is already impressive; a factor which contributes significantly to the quiet and relaxing cabin environment.
\r\n\r\nWith a bodyshell which transfers less noise to the cabin, an extensive sound insulation programme - including triple element door seals to minimise wind and road noise - and ferric window glass to reflect sunlight and help keep cabin temperatures low in hot weather, the Arnage is an extremely comfortable motor car to travel in. The front seats are shouldered and bolstered to hold the occupant firmly in position during fast cornering, and the vertical fluting stitched into the hide evokes early Bentley motor cars. Electrically adjustable for height, rake and reach, and with dual lumbar adjustment and heating, their variable density foam cushioning provides comfort and support in equal measure.
\r\n\r\nFor the driver, an elevated and natural driving position means that effortless progress can be made; the curved profile of the bonnet and wings helping placement of the motor car in the road, and all controls falling easily to hand to prevent any distraction. The parchment-faced instrument dials are clear and comprehensive, and stylishly complement the classic shapes, materials and textures found elsewhere in the interior.
\r\n\r\nPassengers will appreciate the space in the rear of the motor car, as legroom and headroom are considerable. Sitting in individually sculpted seats - which move to their rearward position when a rear door is opened to aid entry and exit - there is always room to work, or sit back and enjoy the journey.
\r\n\r\nSeparate heating, air conditioning and ventilation controls allow each occupant to specify their own chosen temperature and airflow settings. Divided into two independent circuits, the climate control system is so flexible that side-to-side, split level (face/feet) and front-rear temperatures within the cabin can be set to differ by as much as +- 10 degrees celsius. When the engine has been switched off, residual heat from the coolant system can be used to maintain the temperature settings.
\r\n\r\nAir quality is maximised using pollen and dust micro-filters, and by the use of fresh air control: should ambient air pollution rise above a certain standard, the system automatically starts to recirculate the air inside the car until the quality of air outside the motor car reaches an acceptable level.
\r\n\r\nIn Car Entertainment is available from a bespoke audio system with tuner, cassette player and multi-disc CD player. Four 35 Watt channels ensure a dramatic soundstage through the discrete speaker system, and the refined cabin also contributes to the quality of sound reproduction. When not in operation, the head unit is hidden beneath a veneered ''one-touch'' panel.
\r\n\r\nThe ability to make safe, relaxed progress in all driving conditions is the hallmark of a Bentley Arnage. Excellent visibility is afforded by the commanding driving position. Moreover, the agility and considerable performance of the motor car help the driver avoid potential hazardous situations in the first place.
\r\n\r\nPowerful brakes can slow the Arnage from high speeds, quickly and smoothly. Should the level of grip be compromised because of inclement weather conditions or a poor road surface, the four-channel anti-lock braking system activates, pulsing the brakes at up to 12 times a second and enabling directional control over the motor car to be maintained.
\r\n\r\nThe ABS system works in conjunction with an advanced traction control system - Automatic Stability Control (ASC). As soon as the ignition of Arnage is switched on, ASC is engaged, monitoring traction to all wheels. Although the driver can always override the assistance it provides, ASC is an essential safety feature; when a tyre starts to slip, both engine management system and braking system can intervene to restore traction.
\r\n\r\nThe primary (or ''active'') safety of Arnage is supplemented by a number of secondary (or ''passive'') safety features. The rigid steel body shell, designed using the latest computer technology to predict its behaviour in crash situations, is inherently strong. Impact-absorbing body sections, crumple zones and anti-intrusion beams in the doors help protect occupants in the event of a collision, and the driver and front seat passenger both have full-sized airbags to reduce the risk of injury. Inflating within milliseconds should they be required, the airbags* have gold-plated connectors whose corrosion resistance ensures the highest reliability.
\r\n\r\nWith security on the open road comes security off it. A multi-function alarm and immobilisation system guards Arnage when parked. Owner-programmable, the system is highly versatile and offers a wide range of alarm, arming and courtesy options: the central locking system can be linked to the ignition to prevent doors from being opened externally when on the move; and headlights can be activated for a designated period when the motor car is locked at night, to provide illumination up to a doorway.

This prototype car was based on a Lamborghini Diablo VT chassis, later Bentley would develop a special chassis to cope with the 600 Bhp W-16 engine they plan to use in the production car.
\r\n\r\nThe Bentley Hunaudières was named after the straight on the famous Le Mans circuit in France, just like the Mulsanne and Arnage are also names found on this circuit, where Bentley became almost legendary racing there during the 1920''s.
\r\n\r\nThis exclusive concept car was created to show the audience the way Bentley would like to go after the VW take-over, Bentley plans to build high-power cars but with a high level of finish and practicality on the road.\r\nThe Hunaudières could very well be used to compete in the 24 H. of Le Mans in the beginning of the next century, a press release stated that if the public opinion allowed it, the Bentley Hunaudières would enter production during 2001.
\r\n\r\nThe engine in this English supercar is a W-16 engine, developed by VW, who actually combined two V-8 engines together at an angle of 72 degrees, a displacement of 8 litres and a total of 64 valves produced 623 Bhp at 6000 Rpm on all four-wheels. Each V-8 engine held two banks of 4 cylinders at 15 degrees, this way the massive engine was still quite compact considering the power output and a torque of 561 Lbs.Ft at only 4000 Rpm.\r\n\r\nWhen the car would eventually be available, you could surely count on an estimated price of over £ 250,000. But for this amount you would take ownership of a real high-performance street legal supercar with all the refinement and comfort of your ''every day'' Bentley Arnage.
\r\n\r\nThe roofline of the Hunaudières was about 85 mm higher than that of the 1999 Diablo, therefore headroom and interior space was a little better, together with improved accessability and visibility, the Hunaudières could become quite a competitor for the new Lamborghini Murcielago that would be introduced as late as September 2001.
\r\n\r\nOn the inside the Hunaudières was finished in the purest Bentley tradition, full leather and nubuck for the seats and dashboard, and a very nice touch of milled aluminum on the dashboard and central console.\r\nOn this central console a panel covered the stereo and airconditioning controls, neatly hidden from the eye, but who in his right mind would try to steal the stereo in a Bentley anyway, the alarm system fitted was probably better than most house alarms. Another nice touch were the two rear view camera''s fitted behind the front wheels, the monitors were placed on the left and right of the speedometer and rev counter. This way no big rear view mirrors were necessary that would only destroy this very clean design, still, these monitors would take some getting used to once you''re behind the steering wheel. Although with an estimted acceleration of only 4 seconds to 60 Mph and only 12 seconds to reach 100 Mph, who cares what happens behind you, you would need to focus yourself on the road ahead, things can get very close extremely fast at these kinds of speed. The last thing you want to happen is getting a dent in this very clean looking aluminium and carbon fibre bodywork, just try telling dad you''ve crashed his Bentley into a slow moving truck.
\r\n\r\nThe prototype was finished in a very nice metallic English racing green, with a green and tan leather interior and chromed lower body panels, also the 20 inch (!!) wheels became chromed. This way the Bentley looked really stunning under the Auto Show highlights.\r\nThe Hunaudières would be fitted with a five-speed automatic gearbox, possibly with a button-shift option on the steering wheel, according to Bentley, customers are awaiting an exotic sportscar without the hassle of changing gears, this new Bentley should be extremely fast, a top speed of over 200 Mph was stated, but still it would be highly comfortable and easy to drive.

These unique design elements reflect the unique character of this elegant and sporty new car.
\r\n\r\nThe buyer who chooses a Coupe wants a car that satisfies their demand for elegant looks as well as driving dynamics. With all this in mind, BMW engineers and designers set out to create a unique yet unmistakable blend of design, features and - most particularly - driving pleasure.
\r\n\r\nDesigned to reflect performance and elegance in the tradition of BMW Coupes
\r\n\r\nThe new Coupe is unquestionably a BMW 3 Series. Yet despite its close technical ties to the Sedan and Sports Wagon, the new BMW 3 Series Coupe is unique in its design details. A genuine BMW from every angle, the new Coupe is an individualist through and through.
\r\n\r\nThe character of any coupe is reflected in its profile. On the new BMW 3 Series Coupe the profile is unmistakably BMW. The long hood reflects BMW''s adherence to its tradition of inline six-cylinder engines. The long wheelbase, the passenger compartment set back as well as the low, sleek roofline which slopes gently into the trunk, are all characteristic of BMW Coupes.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to the classic proportions, the shoulder, character and sill lines serve to enhance the sleek appearance. Both the shoulder line and character line stretch uninterrupted to the back of the car, allowing one''s eye to move quickly and smoothly from front to rear along the entire length of the car. The sill line on the lower edge of the door also flows into the front and rear air dams, reinforcing the dynamic nature of BMW''s newest Coupe.
\r\n\r\nThe combination of lines flowing into one another reflects the performance potential. While the shoulder line rises slightly but consistently from front to rear, the character line flows in a long, stretched arch all the way from the front fender to the taillights. As the sill line, by contrast, moves up slightly to the rear in a slow and gentle curve, the distance between the character and sill lines becomes smaller around the rear wheel arches. The flare of the fender around the wheel also serves to give the character line extra tension in both an upward and outward direction.
\r\n\r\nThe front view also shows a significant distinction from the 3 Series Sedan and Sports Wagon. The contours of the hood as well as the design of the front air dam and headlights give the new BMW 3 Series Coupe a particularly low and sporty look. The powerdome on the hood foretells the performance potential which lies beneath. Its lines follow a powerful silhouette extending all the way from the A-pillars to the outside corners of the BMW kidney grill.
\r\n\r\nThe kidney grille, a typical feature of every BMW, stands out from the surfaces around it. Interaction with the three-dimensional kidney frame creates a look of power and unique style.
\r\n\r\nThe headlight units on the new BMW 3 Series Coupe also have a unique look. With the hood extending beyond the headlights as such, the characteristic four round headlights appear to have been cut-off at the top creating a sense of powerful, concentrated focus.
\r\n\r\nThe new 3 Series Coupe will come standard in the U.S. with xenon adaptive headlights, accented by BMW''s corona light rings. The corona light rings not only serve as daytime running lights, but also draw attention to BMW''s characteristic four round headlights, making this new Coupe instantly recognizable as a BMW, day or night.
\r\n\r\nThe design of taillights is also unique to the new 3 Series Coupe. Integrated flush into the body of the car, the lights are split into two sections and extend all the way up to the trunk lid, blending with the character lines from the side profile. Horizontal LED taillights give the car an unmistakable look at night. The horizontally flowing lines accentuate the wide track and low stance of the new Coupe.
\r\n\r\nThe designers'' objective was to give the new 3 Series Coupe a balanced and harmonious look. The traditional "Hofmeister kink" at the bottom edge of the C-pillar now extends at an even more distinct angle into the shoulder line. To further accentuate this flow of lines, the window accent surround is now made in one single piece.
\r\n\r\nThe exterior mirrors have been specifically designed and matched to the unique character of the new 3 Series Coupe. The contours of the mirrors reflect the profile lines while the mirrors blend seamlessly with the car''s overall design.
\r\n\r\nThe emphasis on individual style, dynamic performance and exclusivity continues within the interior. Horizontal lines dominate the surfaces on and around the instrument panel which blend with the lines of the center console and door panels to give the interior a light but dynamic feel. In true BMW fashion the instrument cluster and key controls are angled toward the driver. Controls for the climate control as well as the audio and navigation systems are within easy reach of the front passenger. Given that the new Coupe is a four passenger car, the rear seat passengers are treated to a storage compartment between the rear seats.
\r\n\r\nAn elegant ambience is created in the interior by special lighting and switches with a premium look and feel. The light contour edge on the door and side panels, which runs from the door pillar all the way to the rear passenger area, creates a particularly warm, indirect lighting effect. Controls and switches used frequently by the driver and passengers such as the door handles and gearshift are finished in high quality metallic trim for an elegant appearance as well as a premium tactile experience.
\r\n\r\nInline six-cylinder engines enter new dimensions of performance.
\r\n\r\nThe first impression the new BMW 3 Series Coupe delivers is one of stylish elegance and powerful dynamics. Its long hood reflects BMW''s longstanding tradition of inline six-cylinder engines.
\r\n\r\nThe new BMW 3 Series Coupe will arrive in the U.S. with a choice of two six-cylinder engines including the world''s first inline six with twin turbos, high precision fuel injection, and an all-aluminum crankcase. It is the most powerful engine within BMW''s wide range of inline six driving machines that does not wear an "M" badge. This brand-new version develops maximum output of 300 hp in US-spec from 3.0 liters and generates peak torque of 300 lb-ft for powerful acceleration in any situation.
\r\n\r\nThe combination of turbocharging and direct gasoline fuel injection offers a new dimension to efficient dynamics. Featuring high-precision fuel injection, the engine boasts a highly sophisticated and advanced direct fuel injection system. In true BMW fashion this results in outstanding performance combined with a significant reduction of fuel consumption.
\r\n\r\nA further advantage of turbocharging is that this is the most economical option to boost engine power and performance. For example, the turbocharged inline six weighs approximately 150 lbs less than an equally powerful eight-cylinder displacing 4.0 liters. And this lower weight means a significant advantage not only in fuel economy, but also in balancing the weight distribution of the overall car.
\r\n\r\nThis new high-performance engine gives the light, aerodynamically sculpted Coupe truly outstanding acceleration and flexibility on the road. The twin turbo powerplant in the BMW 335i Coupe develops its power and performance much more spontaneously than a turbocharged engine of conventional design. Thanks to their lower inertia, the two small turbochargers build up pressure much faster than a single, large turbocharger, thus eliminating even the slightest turbo "lag".
\r\n\r\nAt the same time the new engine offers all the smoothness and refinement which has made BMW''s award-winning inline sixes so admired. Last but certainly not least, the impressive increase in power on the twin turbo engine versus a conventional normally aspirated six-cylinder comes without any significant increase in fuel consumption.
\r\n\r\nFeaturing two turbochargers each supplying compressed air to three cylinders, the new turbocharged engine offers a new standard of spontaneity and responsiveness. Peak torque of 300 lb-ft comes smoothly and without delay, extending over a wide speed range from 1,400 - 5,000 rpm.
\r\n\r\nOn the road, this power and torque result in outstanding performance. The 335i Coupe accelerates from 0 - 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. This sense of urgency continues all the way to the electronically-limited top speed of 150 mph, when equipped with sport package.
\r\n\r\nThis extremely efficient increase in power and performance is attributable in large part to gasoline direct injection. The high-precision fuel injection concept developed by BMW ensures a measurable advantage in fuel economy, without limiting the dynamic qualities of the engine.
\r\n\r\nTo enhance this efficiency to an even higher level, the turbochargers are made of a particularly heat-resistant material which makes them immune to high exhaust gas temperatures in the interest of a fuel-efficient combustion process particularly under full load. As a result, the twin turbo technology in the BMW 335i Coupe represents a significant achievement in terms of both performance and fuel economy. The advantages over a conventional turbocharged engine are not only clearly measurable, but also easy to feel on the road.
\r\n\r\nBMW''s new twin-turbo inline six is making its debut in the new 335i Coupe. One cannot overlook the new 328i Coupe with its normally-aspirated inline six-cylinder engine. This is the latest model to take advantage of BMW''s weight-saving blend of magnesium and aluminum for the crankcase. The cylinder head cover and the bedplate are also made of aluminum. Fully variable Valvetronic valve management, an electric coolant pump and a fully controlled oil pump are features which serve to enhance the 328i Coupe''s efficiency and responsiveness.
\r\n\r\nThe new engine in the 328i Coupe offers 230 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. With 0 - 60 mph acceleration in just 6.2 seconds, this new "entry-level" Coupe is quicker than the previous top-of-the-line 330Ci Coupe.
\r\n\r\nBoth models come standard with a six-speed manual gearbox for the pure driving enthusiast. For those who prefer an automatic a six-speed STEPTRONIC automatic is available. When ordered with the available sport package on the 335i Coupe, steering wheel mounted shift paddles are included, maximizing the sporting potential of the automatic.
\r\n\r\nThe new six-speed STEPTRONIC automatic uses an innovative torque converter and enhanced management software to improve shifting responsiveness. The response time of the automatic transmission on the new BMW 3 Series Coupe is down by approximately 40 per cent compared with a conventional automatic transmission. While fast, responsive gear changes can make driving more fun, the optimized selection of the appropriate gear for all driving conditions helps to reduce fuel consumption. This new automatic is a textbook example of BMW''s pursuit of Efficient Dynamics.
\r\n\r\nChassis and suspension: where power becomes performance.
\r\n\r\nEven with great looks and outstanding performance, it would not be a BMW Coupe if it did not also offer equally outstanding handling and responsiveness.
\r\n\r\nThe new 3 Series Coupe offers class-leading agility through a combination of significantly enhanced dynamic potential on one hand, with the most sophisticated chassis control and assistance systems on the other. Together they provide a margin of safety for any situation in which the car might reach the limits of driving physics. In other words, the driver and passengers in a BMW 3 Series Coupe enjoy superior safety at all speeds.
\r\n\r\nTraditional rear-wheel drive and a near 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution give the new BMW 3 Series Coupe ideal qualities for optimum driving dynamics. This, in combination with the high-tech suspension, enables the driver to convert the power and performance of the engine into an exhilarating driving experience. Boasting a double-pivot front suspension with spring struts made almost entirely of aluminum in combination with a five-link suspension at the rear, the new BMW 3 Series Coupe has the most advanced and sophisticated suspension in its class.
\r\n\r\nReinforcement and support elements on the underfloor of the car serve to optimize the stiffness of the chassis which enables the suspension to work with the highest possible degree of precision. Interacting with the low centre of gravity and the specific set-up of the shock absorbers, the chassis and suspension work in perfect balance.
\r\n\r\nBMW''s rack-and-pinion steering has been widely praised for its precision and feedback and the steering in the new 3 Series Coupe is no exception. For the ultimate balance between agility at lower speeds and stability at higher speeds, BMW''s innovative Active Steering will be available. By adjusting the steering ratio, steering angle and power assistance to the speed of the car, Active Steering enables the driver to maneuver the 3 Series Coupe with minimum effort when parking and keep the car precisely on track at higher speeds.
\r\n\r\nThe high-performance brake system requires 17-inch wheels to match the larger diameter of the brake discs which ensure outstanding stopping power and deceleration. Brake performance is further enhanced by BMW''s latest Dynamic Stability Control. Introduced on the 3 Series Sedan, BMW''s latest DSC incorporates several new functions. For example, DSC works to counteract the slightest brake fading effect even at extremely high brake temperatures by increasing brake pressure accordingly. This ensures maximum brake power even under the toughest conditions, without requiring the driver to exert any higher pressure.
\r\n\r\nBrake Standby positions the brakes closer to the discs after sudden lift off of the accelerator pedal to further reduce stopping distances in an emergency. Dry Braking, in turn, optimizes brake performance in the wet by using the brake pads to periodically dry the brake discs. Dynamic Brake Control automatically maximizes brake pressure whenever required in an emergency stop. Start-Off Assistant briefly holds the car when setting off on an uphill grade.
\r\n\r\nIn a 3 Series Coupe equipped with Active Steering, DSC helps keep the car stable and under control when applying the brakes on surfaces varying in their frictional coefficient. DSC corrects the steering quickly and precisely for optimum control.
\r\n\r\nDynamic Traction Control is another feature of DSC. Activation of DTC raises the threshold for intervention by the brakes, enabling the driver of a BMW 3 Series Coupe to set off smoothly on low friction surfaces such as snow. A benefit of DTC for the enthusiast is that it allows slight, easily controllable slip on the drive wheels even on a dry surface.
\r\n\r\nOf course, as in all BMWs, the driver also has the option to completely deactivate DSC in the new 3 Series Coupe.

With a suspension developed for supreme dynamics and a Sequential M Gearbox (SMG) complete with Drivelogic, this ultimate power unit turns the latest product from BMW M into an open sports car able to accelerate to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.
\r\n\r\nMeasuring 190 inches in length, BMW M’s new high-performance convertible is about 2 inches longer than the BMW 6 Series Convertible due to its rear air dam, optimized for supreme aerodynamic performance.
\r\n\r\nTypical of BMW’s M Cars, the M6 Convertible also features four exhaust tailpipes at the rear.
\r\n\r\nThe roof of the BMW M6 convertible is made of three layers. A special noise and heat insulating layer of polyurethane (PUR) foam comes between the rubberized outer layer and the interior roof lining. Thanks to its unique fin-roof look, the soft top boasts the same dynamic contours as the Coupe. The wide C-pillar is characterised by BMW’s famous Hofmeister ‘kick’.
\r\n\r\nA vertically positioned rear window can be electrically adjusted to move up or down, regardless of whether the roof itself is open or closed. The roof itself can be opened or closed either by remote control or via a button on the instrument panel with the entire process either way taking less than 25 seconds.
\r\n\r\nThe interior of the BMW M6 Convertible again boasts a wide range of stylish and practical features. Due its driver-oriented cockpit, all essential functions are positioned either on or around the steering wheel. The iDrive controller, housed on the centre console, is positioned for access by both driver and front passenger, and can be used to activate and operate a wide range of comfort functions via the Control Display. The Control Display comes with an enhanced menu guidance which also features MDrive management.
\r\n\r\nBoasting a 500 bhp V10 power unit, the BMW M6 Convertible is a pledge to power and performance. This fast-revving engine forms a perfect match with the optimum gear and final drive ratios, ensuring a perfectly dosed transmission of engine power to the drive wheels at the rear.
\r\n\r\nThe entire power and performance concept behind this engine is derived directly from Motorsport; in the process of developing its maximum output, the V10 power unit revs all the way to 8,250 rpm, reaching engine speeds otherwise only found in a purebred racing car. More than 100 hp per liter is truly outstanding for a normally-aspirated engine. Variable double-VANOS camshaft control, in turn, ensures an optimum gas cycle at all times. Individual throttle butterflies on each cylinder with full electronic control give the V10 yet another highlight from its motor racing heritage.
\r\n\r\nThe M6 Convertible features the new generation of BMW Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). While the first stage of DSC is designed for maximum driving safety, the M Dynamic Mode is appreciated above all by the performance oriented driver.
\r\n\r\nElectronic Damper Control (EDC) offers three control programs, each enabling the driver to set the suspension to the desired mode ranging from sporting and firm to comfortable.
\r\n\r\nThe P400 performance programme is automatically activated as soon as the engine is started and as its name indicates offers immediate output of 400 bhp output. By pressing the Power Button, the full power and dynamism of the ten-cylinder engine can be called up.

It can lap the world-famous Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in less than eight minutes and 35 seconds (which is very fast by any definition - a Porsche 911 GT3 can lap it in 7:57). These numbers don''t come from the spec sheet of the latest featherweight sports car, but from the all-new BMW 130i compact hatchback.
\r\n\r\nSince its introduction in Europe last year, the BMW 1-Series has put a different spin on the Golf-sized hatchback segment by emphasizing driver enjoyment. It takes over the position of entry-level BMW from the 3-Series, and so far it''s the only vehicle in its segment to feature rear-wheel drive. While some controversy remains over the vehicle''s interior and exterior styling, the use of iDrive and the lack of rear \r\nleg room and cargo space, praise has been universal over the car''s perfectly balanced chassis and fluid handling.
\r\n\r\nUpon its introduction, BMW offered the 1-Series with a set of tiny, but advanced inline fours. The cheapest way of obtaining the keys to a Beemer was through the 116i, whose stripped-out specifications were matched by a frugal 115-horsepower inline-four. Moving up to the 118i meant a more powerful 129-horsepower motor, and with 120i scripted on the tailgate, a total of 150 restless ponies could be called upon. Though the ''20'' designation is used on the 1-Series, it should be noted that it is an inline-four, rather than the 2.2-litre inline-six, used in the North American 320i.
\r\n\r\nThe other half of the 1-Series range currently consists of a pair of advanced common rail 2.0-litre inline-four turbodiesel \r\nengines. The first of the two is badged the 118d, which makes 122 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque - a respectable amount for such a small car. Ironically (for a BMW), the 120d is the most powerful 1-Series currently available, with a whopping 163 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. It''s also the quickest of the lot, including the gasoline motors, taking just under eight seconds to reach 100 km/h.
\r\n\r\nAside from the top-end 6-Series and 7-Series, the 1-Series seems to have been the odd member of the family, as BMW''s famous, silky-smooth inline-sixes have not been available. While there are few complaints about the motors currently offered, many critics believe that the 1-Series'' chassis can handle, and for that matter deserves, more power. \r\nIn previous news reports and rumours, it was reported that prior to its arrival in North America, the car would receive some sort of inline-six, perhaps the 163-horsepower unit \r\nfound in the 320i, or the 192-horsepower unit from the 325i. Surprisingly, then, BMW went the whole nine yards, installing their latest and most powerful inline-six powerplant.
\r\n\r\nThe new motor, dubbed the R6 (not to be confused with the M54 currently found in the 330i) was first seen in the 630ci Coupe, which made its debut in July last year. Considered one of the most advanced six-cylinder engines in the world, it makes use of BMW''s fuel-saving, performance-enhancing Double Vanos and Valvetronic technology, as well as lightweight internal components cast of magnesium and other exotic alloys.
\r\n\r\nThe result is a 258-horsepower engine with 221 lb-ft of torque that redlines at 7,000 rpm, but is still capable of delivering 9.0 \r\nL/100 km (26.1 mpg) for a mix of city and highway driving (see automotive news section for Jul 5, 2004: BMW Debuts New R6 3.0L I-6 Powerplant in European-Only 630 Ci).
\r\n\r\nAs the 130i is to be both the most powerful 1-Series, and the range topper, BMW has revised and increased its list of standard features. Standard equipment on the 130i includes run-flat tires with tire pressure monitor, and dual-stage brake lights which increase in intensity depending on the pressure applied to the brake pedal. To counter the additional power from \r\nthe new inline-six, the 130i also receives BMW''s DSC stability control system, advanced anti-lock brakes with cornering brake control (CBC) and brake assist, as well as traction control.
\r\n\r\nThough the performance of the 130i is astonishing to say the least, there is very little to distinguish this super-spicy hatchback from other 1-Series. The 130i is much like the E36-era M3, using the element of stealth to surprise unsuspecting challengers. After all, how many people could readily pick out the plain-looking five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, twin-pipe dual exhaust tip and chrome rings around the car''s dual kidney grilles at a distance?
\r\n\r\nOn the inside, it''s business as usual for the 130i. The standard, Z4-meets-5-Series layout has been fettled with \r\nslightly, and includes a new set of instruments and sporty front bucket seats with supportive side bolsters. As with all other 1-Series, the 130i features a push-button starter and intelligent key, and is available with retractable navigation system, connected to the infamous iDrive system. Surprisingly, BMW will also offer their Active Steering system from the 5 and 6-Series, though the option won''t be cheap.
\r\n\r\nWhen the 130i makes its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in a few weeks'' time, BMW will sit at the top of the sport hatchback scene. It will have toppled the European powerhouses in the class, including the Volkswagen GTI, Audi A3 \r\nV6, Renaultsport Megane 225, and the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA. Pricing for this hatchback benchmark will be revealed closer to its release date, which BMW claims will be around summer, 2005.
\r\n\r\nTo us in North America, the 130i is the biggest hope yet for the 1-Series arriving on our shores. With the new R6 powerplant on hand, it has successfully answered the public''s cry for more power, and has done so in a way which sets the path for the competition to follow. While the 1-Series is only available as a five-door hatchback, spy photos have revealed that BMW is indeed working on alternative bodystyles.
\r\n\r\nfour-door 130i sedan, or two-door 130i coupe, that would most likely be dubbed 230i in order to conform with BMW''s new naming strategy, could truly put the fear of the blue-and-white propeller into the upcoming A3 Sportback, S40 T5 AWD and next-gen Golf R32, re-igniting North American passions for sporty, compact cars.

With the use of a compatible Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, a driver can place and answer calls, and browse and select phonebook contacts from their phone, simply by using the multifunction steering wheel controls and radio keys.
\r\n\r\nDouble VANOS allows the engine to ''steplessly'' choose valve timing for both intake and exhaust camshafts. Electronically controlled in response to engine speed, load and temperature, Double VANOS maximizes engine response, efficiency and emission control. The benefit: more low- to medium-speed torque for strong acceleration and added flexibility for better highway performance, plus quieter, smoother engine at idle.
\r\n\r\nDynamic Brake Control is another important safety feature, crucial in extreme braking situations (such as when avoiding an accident). When it is necessary to build up brake pressure as quickly as possible, Dynamic Brake Control can speed up and reinforce this process, helping to provide the shortest possible stopping distance.
\r\n\r\nDynamic Stability Control is an innovative technology that combines the functions of traction control, braking enhancement, and cornering stabilization. DSC sensors continually monitor cornering-steering angle, transverse acceleration, yaw, wheel speed and brake pressure to instantly detect and correct loss of wheel traction due to slick spots, nasty weather, or emergency maneuvers. DSC helps you stay in control under all conditions, in any situation.
\r\n\r\nBMW''s Head Protection System is an inflatable tubular structure to protect the heads of a vehicle''s front and rear seat occupants. Operating in conjunction with the side airbags, the system provides front seat occupants with outstanding protection in the case of severe side impact. It helps protect the head from hitting the side window and being hit by objects penetrating the side window. In recognition of this remarkable protection, BMW was named ''Safe Car of the Millennium'' by the International Brain Injury Association.
\r\n\r\nUses infrared light to measure the amount of rain. When the wipers are in the ''intermittent'' mode, the rain sensor automatically adjusts the windshield-wiping interval as needed.
\r\n\r\nRecognizing that each vehicle is used differently - and so the need for routine maintenance is different for each vehicle - BMW developed the Service Interval Indicator.

The roof carves down in back and wraps low on the sides, cropping the passengers’ view, trimming it to narrow slots all around. There’s space for two in back, if they fit the “active adult” template. The rear wheels crowd into the outer boundaries of the seats, forcing the seated toward the tunnel. Their tennis equipment piles easily in the 16 cubic feet behind the seats, and maybe there’s room for a picnic lunch, too. But this mobile is much more about driving than wagoning.
\r\n\r\nYou feel athletic suspension motions, deliberate steering responses, a stiff clutch, and a taut gear lever — all united by a rigid body structure. This is a car that does nothing till you put some muscle into it. It expects you to drive.
\r\n\r\nThe 3-series wagon comes in one model only, with all wheels driven by the low-output 215-hp, 3.0-liter six (330i sedans have a 255-hp 3.0-liter). You get six speeds, either manual (as was our test car) or automatic. The new engine is a silken wonder all the way to its 7000-rpm redline, greatly refined but only moderately spirited.
\r\n\r\nThe sports wagon is the heaviest model of the 3-series line; ours weighed 3733 pounds, 273 over our favorite 330i rear-drive four-door. So acceleration falls well behind, reaching 60 in seven seconds flat. You’ll find yourself rowing the shifter. The gearing is long-legged, and it’s easy to let the wagon’s engine drop too low in revs to pull the next grade.
\r\n\r\nThe all-wheel-drive system uses a multi-disc clutch to apportion torque between the front and rear. When the system senses understeer, it directs more torque to the rear, and less to the rear in times of oversteer. This is a fundamentally smart idea. We were blessed with sunny weather during our testing, so our impressions are based on dry handling. There we found well-toned suspension muscles providing firm, stable roll control. Understeer is dependable, as it should be for road driving.

Each successive generation has extended the bounds of both performance and luxury. The last generation M5, the most successful ever, significantly pushed the performance envelope with the first V8 from BMW M, mated to a six-speed transmission.
\r\n\r\nThe all-new fourth generation BMW M5 pushes that envelope even further with the first V10 engine to power a production sedan. The new V10 produces 500 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. This new engine is mated to a seven-speed SMG transmission. With this new powertrain the M5 offers the best power-to-weight ratio in its class. In the tradition of BMW M, the chassis has been engineered to keep up with the power while the exterior treatment is subtle, yet distinctive.
\r\n\r\nThis is the first application of a V10 engine in a regular production sedan, if it''s possible to call any product from BMW M "regular." It once again sets the benchmark in its class. This engine was engineered to rev, with a redline of 8,250 rpm. With 25 percent more power than the previous M5''s V8, this new engine offers 100 horsepower per liter of displacement, pure race car territory. The 90o V10 is designed for maximum stiffness and minimum vibration.
\r\n\r\nThe new V10 features double-VANOS variable valve timing. Each cylinder has its own electronically controlled throttle butterfly. The new MS S65 engine management system uses the most powerful processors currently approved for use in automobiles. It has been designed specifically to deal with the V10''s high output and high revs as well as the comprehensive controls that are required.
\r\n\r\nPower is transmitted through the world’s first production car seven-speed sequential gearbox with Drivelogic, changing gears 20 per cent faster than the previous generation SMG transmission. The gearbox offers eleven different change patterns, six of which allow the drive to vary the speed and response of gear change in the manual selection mode and five in the automatic mode. The sixth pattern in manual is reserved for the Launch Control function, giving the driver the fastest possible acceleration from standstill. The top speed may be limited but with the speedometer reaching all the way to 205 mph, the mind conjures intriguing possibilities.
\r\n\r\nThe new M5 also features a new DSC traction control system specifically developed for the car. Offering three settings, the default mode offers drivers the high levels of performance and stability you would expect of a car wearing the ‘M’ badge. But by pressing the DSC button once the car reverts to M Dynamic Mode to allow an enthusiastic driver the ability to push the M5 to the absolute limits of traction, even permitting some sideslip and countersteering. If the DSC button is pressed again and held down DSC is completely disengaged.
\r\n\r\nAssisting further with performance the BMW M5 also comes with an MDrive button on the steering wheel, offering a one-touch function that changes the settings on the car to an enhanced sporting character. This set-up is formatted via iDrive with the owner choosing the preferred SMG, Electronic Damper Control and DSC modes and, if specified, the rate of support the Active Seat Control side bolsters offer. Once programmed, the driver just presses the MDrive button on the steering wheel to transform the character of the M5.
\r\n\r\nThe function of the standard fit Head-up Display is also altered when the MDrive button is activated. The default setting sees speed, navigation instructions, check control messages and cruise control settings projected onto the windscreen in the driver’s line of sight. However, if MDrive is activated the display changes to a rev counter including vehicle speed that both flash at the driver when the next gear needs to be selected.
\r\n\r\nWhile the chassis, suspension and steering of the M5 are based on the design of the 5 Series, almost all components are new. The M5 also features a variable M differential lock that offers a high level of driving stability and traction, especially when accelerating out of high-speed corners. Stopping power in the M5 is also enhanced courtesy of a high performance braking system with cross-drilled ventilated discs and twin-piston callipers. They will haul the new M5 to a stop from 62 mph (100 km/h) in under 120 feet and from 124 mph (200 km/h) in just under 460 feet.

Uncompromising, purist, and extremely powerful, this two-seater offers an unparalleled experience of undiluted dynamism both in everyday traffic and on the race track. Without doubt, its prize-winning 3.2-liter straight-six M power unit developing maximum output of 330 bhp offers performance of the highest conceivable standard.
\r\n\r\nOver and above the sheer power of the engine also borne out by maximum torque of 262 lb-ft, the BMW Z4 M Coupe stands out in particular through its chassis and suspension designed and built to convey enormous power safely and smoothly to the road. Indeed, the unique character of this equally unique sports car is expressed most convincingly by its high standard of agility and spontaneity in responding to all of the driver’s commands.
\r\n\r\nBMW’s new two-seater is powered by the same prize-winning 3.2-liter straight-six M engine also featured in the BMW M3 and the BMW Z4 Roadster. The engine’s performance figures are indeed impressive at very first sight: 3,246 cc displacement, 330 bhp maximum output at an engine speed of 7,900 rpm, maximum engine speed of 8,000 rpm. And no less than 80 per cent of the engine’s maximum torque of 262 lb-ft is available at the driver’s request from just 2,000 rpm.
\r\n\r\nOutput per liter is 103 bhp, giving the Z4 M Coupe a power-to-weight ratio of just 9.9 lb/bhp. Acceleration to 60 mph comes in 4.8 seconds and top speed is limited electronically to 155 mph.
\r\n\r\nThe concept of a high-speed engine is particularly impressive whenever the torque available is converted into optimum thrust and power on the road by a short overall transmission ratio. And precisely this is what the BMW Z4 M Coupe has to offer, with its six-speed manual gearbox laid out for optimum performance throughout the engine’s entire gearshift and speed range. Short gearshift travel, precise action of the shift lever, and close increments between the six gears – these are the typical features of this outstanding transmission.
\r\n\r\nThe superior engine and drivetrain of the BMW Z4 M Coupe are matched by an equally superior high-performance suspension. In its basic concept, the suspension is identical to that of the BMW Z4 M Roadster, but has nevertheless been geared specifically to the particular requirements of the fixed-head model. Just how perfectly all the car’s components harmonize with one another is clearly proven by the BMW Z4 M Coupe on the Nordschleife, the Northern Circuit of Nurburgring, where the Z4 M Coupe outperforms the lap times of even the BMW M3 and the BMW Z4 M Roadster.
\r\n\r\nThe chassis and suspension of the BMW Z4 M Coupe is identical in many respects to the chassis and suspension of the BMW M3, with a wide range of shared components. One example is the M differential lock on the rear axle, while the highly effective 18-inch compound brake system comes straight from the BMW M3 CSL. BMW’s DSC Dynamic Stability Control, in turn, supplements the suspension with its significant safety reserves whenever the going gets critical.
\r\n\r\nThe interior of the BMW Z4 M Coupe combines a modern ambience in sporting and purist look with a supreme standard of sophisticated style, design and function all coming together in one harmonious concept. The cockpit is tailored consistently to the driver, with all controls and instruments placed perfectly on or around the steering wheel for supreme ergonomics. Multi-function buttons featured as standard help the driver concentrate on the essential, operating the telephone or audio system at the touch of a finger, without having to take his hand off the steering wheel.

The powerplant is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and BMW M’s variable M differential. The result is excellent stability and traction, especially when accelerating out of bends.
\r\n\r\nUnlike the ‘standard’ Z4 that uses an electromechanical steering system, the new Z4 M Roadster uses a hydraulic power assistance system. The ‘standard’ car also uses Run-flat tyres as opposed to the M Roadster’s non-Run-Flat items – both features that M, as a separate division, believes give the car its own ‘M’ character. These features are reinforced by BMW M’s floating compound high-performance braking system, originally conceived for the BMW M3 CSL, resulting in a 62mph to zero stopping distance of just 34 metres.
\r\n\r\nVisually, the new Z4 M Roadster is differentiated from the ‘standard’ car by numerous details inside and out. From the front, the lower valance, large air intakes and dual styling lines on the bonnet clearly identify the M car while, at the rear, BMW M’s trademark quad-tailpipes and aerodynamic diffuser highlight the car’s potential. The M-styling is finished off with exclusive M double-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/45ZR18 tyres on the front and 255/40ZR18s on the rear.

The most exclusive sports car of all time is following in the footsteps of the legendary Bugatti, those universally-coveted limousines and unbeatable racing cars of the 1920s and 1930s which today are among the most sought-after creations from the early days of automobile construction.
\r\n\r\nThis brings to an end the era of design models and concept cars which since the late 1990s have signposted possible paths to the Bugattis of the future. Design and technological concept have finally become reality in the Veyron model’s final form and will be available from the beginning of 2004 as a strictly limited edition of just 300 cars. Technologically futuristic and packed with creative engineering, the first Bugatti of the 21st century has arrived.
\r\n\r\nThe Bugatti Veyron 16.4’s home is in Molsheim-Dorlisheim, the French town where, almost 100 years ago, Ettore Bugatti began to realize his lifelong dream of being a car manufacturer.\r\nThe new workshop is not just where the engine and vehicle are assembled and tested, it is also the place where customers collect their Bugattis and drive them out onto the streets for the first time.
\r\n\r\nThe aim is to turn Molsheim into an all-round Bugatti centre once again. While up to 70 new vehicles a year are built by hand in the new facility, neighbouring specially-equipped workshops are the scene of expert restoration work on historic Bugatti vehicles. Both past and future have found a new home here.
\r\n\r\nThe car’s safety systems have been designed to cope with its extraordinary performance, acceleration and speed. The single-piece carbon fibre monocoque alone scores maximum points in crash tests, while airbags give the driver and passenger additional protection. The high-speed tires designed specially for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 (for vmax. > 350 km/h), sizes 265-68 R 500 A (front) and 365-71 R 540 A (rear), incorporate a further innovative safety feature in the form of the PAX System fitted to the wheels and tires, ensuring safe handling even after sudden pressure loss. Another Bugatti Veyron 16.4 component with a safety element is the rear spoiler. As well as providing the necessary downforce during high-speed travel, it acts as a kind of ‘parachute brake’ during emergency braking. Once precisely-defined deceleration forces are registered the spoiler tilts and the additional air resistance this generates reduces the braking distance to that of a lorry.
\r\n\r\nThe W16 alloy engine developed by Bugatti for the Veyron 16.4 will have a special and absolutely unique place in the history of sports car construction. Its design employs the space-saving VR principle with two particularly slender eight-cylinder blocks arranged at a 90° angle to each other.
\r\n\r\n1001 horsepower equip the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 with a level of acceleration unheard of in the sports car segment, propelling it from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds and past the 200 mph mark in a mere 14 seconds. Thanks to its 923 lb-ft, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4’s enormous propulsive power is not exhausted until it reaches\r\n252.3 mph (406 km/h): the maximum speed for which chassis and drive train have been designed. Any further performance escalation is limited by current design and construction.
\r\n\r\nAlso unique is the power transmission via an innovative directshift gearbox. Without any interruption in the power flow, the sequential seven-speed gearbox transmits the engine’s power to the wheels via permanent four-wheel drive. Put simply, this means uninterrupted acceleration from a standing start to maximum speed: a feeling previously known only to jet pilots.
\r\n\r\nBoth exclusive and highly functional, the interior of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 will transport you to a world of your own. Superb leather, also two-tone if desired, quality metallic trim and beautifully designed and ergonomically laid-out controls characterize the Veyron cockpit.
\r\n\r\nThe Bugatti Veyron 16.4 instruments, with a large central rev counter surrounded by four smaller additional instruments also conjures up memories of the marque’s legendary motor sport past. The deliberate avoidance of superfluous instruments and modern extras are an unmistakable statement of the car’s uncompromising sportiness.
\r\n\r\nUnchanged on the series version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the classical two-tone paintwork. The designers have selected five separate colour combinations for the car: Each of the combinations features the bonnet, roof and rear in the darker of the two colours, with the sides and front wheel arches in the lighter colour.

\r\n\r\nAt the time of writing, in the spring of 2002, the 736 kW (1001 bhp) Bugatti EB 16·4 Veyron, although exhibited as a design study, has already reached a degree of driveline and body development that is close to series production status. The first theoretical performance figures are also available: the new 16-cylinder sports car should reach a top speed of 406 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 300 km/h in under 14 seconds.
\r\n\r\nThe study exhibited at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show incorporates a large number of technological highlights. As on Formula 1 and Le Mans racing cars, the load-bearing chassis of the EB 16·4 is reinforced with carbon fibre for maximum strength and rigidity as well as minimum weight. This principle also ensures optimum passive safety for the car''s occupants. The outer skin of the body is of mixed aluminium and carbon-fibre construction. The W16 turbocharged engine, which has dry sump lubrication and four continuously variable camshafts, surpasses the power output of even the latest Formula 1 engines. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a new type of sequential-shift seven-speed gearbox with twin clutches.
\r\n\r\nThe EB 16·4 Veyron runs on tyres that use the new Pax system developed by Michelin. These high-speed tyres for speeds in the region of 400 km/h have a pressure monitoring system and run-flat capability, so that safe handling is maintained and the car can be driven for more than 200 kilometres in the event of pressure loss.
\r\n\r\nThe dimensions of the Bugatti EB 16·4 Veyron are equally impressive: the wheelbase is 2,700 millimetres, the car''s overall length 4,466 mm, its width 1,998 mm and its height only 1,206 mm.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to this design study, BUGATTI Automobiles S.A.S. is drawing attention to Bugatti''s origins at the 2002 Geneva Show, by exhibiting a 16-cylinder racing engine dating from 1928. This engine documents an exciting era in automobile engineering during the early part of the 20th century: with its two Zenith carburettors and double magneto ignition, it represented the leading edge of automobile engine development in its day.
\r\n\r\nThe trials of the fastest road sports car in the world have been successfully completed. One of the most ambitious projects in automobile history is entering its production phase. The first Bugatti Veyron 16.4 cars, built mainly by hand, are already being completed and will be delivered to customers this year.
\r\n\r\nThe sports car, capable of more than 400 km/h, is driven by a 16-cylinder mid-engine, that at 710 mm long is no larger than a conventional V12 unit, and due to its lightweight construction weighs only about 400 kilos. Its compact dimensions are due to the unique arrangement of its cylinder banks in a W configuration. Two VR8 blocks, each with a fifteen degree bank angle, are joined in the crankcase to form one engine. Both eight cylinders are set at an angle of ninety degrees to each other and are\r\naspirated by a total of four exhaust gas turbochargers. The engine delivers 1001 HP at 6,000 r.p.m. and provides a maximum torque of 1250 Newtonmetres at between 2,200 and 5,500 r.p.m.
\r\n\r\nTo apply the power of the 64-valve unit to achieve satisfactory driving dynamics both in everyday traffic and on the racetrack, the Bugatti development team of Dr. Franz-Joseph Paefgen and Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber has realized a propulsion unit that is without parallel in its complexity. If the extreme engine power is a master stroke of genius, its conversion for road use is an equally tough challenge. As Dr. Schreiber says ''For 1000 HP propulsion power, the system demands approximately 2000 HP to be additionally generated as heat energy during combustion. Half in each case is dissipated in the exhaust gas and cooling water''. To do this, the Bugatti engine has two water circuits. The larger of the two with 40 liters of cooling water has three coolers in the front section of the car, to keep the engine at operating temperature. The second circuit, called the low-temperature system, has a separate water pump and contains 15 liters of cooling water. These are used to cool, by up to 130 degrees, the charged air, heated during compression in the turbochargers, in two heat exchangers mounted on the engine. The cooled, charged air then passes through two ''air manifolds'' into the combustion chamber, which it then leaves as exhaust gas at approximately 1,000 degrees. It then passes through the turbines of the exhaust gas turbochargers. This causes the exhaust gas to expand, so that it is cooled by up to about 150 degrees, is then cleaned in the catalyzer and exhausted.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to its unique compactness, the high performance of the power unit is the centrepoint of the development. Lightweight materials are used that not only result in a low power-to-weight ratio but also particularly provide the spontaneous response of the moving engine-internal masses. In addition to piston rods of titanium, the so called ''easy runners'', the eight-stage oil pump integrated into the crankcase for dry sump lubrication has light aluminum gears. Because the arrangement of the 16 cylinders ensures extremely quiet running, only a small flywheel is needed. The use of motor sport technology is evident not only from the plasma-coated running faces of the cylinders but also by the use of high-strength steel for the shafts and gears in the aluminum crankcase.
\r\n\r\nUnique in engine design is the integration of knock and misfiring detection in an ion current system.\r\nBecause the multiplicity of cylinders means very quiet running and ensures that the velocity difference will be extremely small in the event of a cylinder misfire, cylinder-selective detection by measuring rough running is not reliable enough. Therefore, Bugatti Ion Current Sensing (BIS) is used. The ion current flowing at each spark plug at the timepoint of ignition is monitored by a separate evaluation \r\nsensor system. The data obtained is passed to both engine control units. If knocking combustion or a misfire is detected, the associated control unit immediately initiates countermeasures, such as retardation of the ignition timepoint, shutdown of the cylinder or reduction of the charge pressure.
\r\n\r\nAccording to the head of Bugatti Unit Development Gregor Gries, ''The aim of our technology is to generate the maximum performance from the engine in a stable, clean manner''. The power generated in the engine is transferred to the flange-mounted direct manual gearbox (DSG). The torque and speed is then transmitted, through the gearing of seven forward and one reverse gear, via a universal drive to the front axle gearbox and via a second universal drive, along the right side of the engine to the rear axle gearbox. Both the DSG and both axle gearbox housings are of lightweight aluminum construction. The drive power is distributed to the front and rear axles by means of a Haldex coupling, an actively-controlled multi-disk, inter-axle lock directly connected to the front axle gearbox. The following front axle differential distributes the power to both front wheels. In the rear axle differential the power is distributed to the rear wheels via a bevel gear and a further differential. In addition, an actively-controlled, hydraulically-actuated, multi-disk differential lock is installed here. When necessary, it prevents speed differences between the rear wheels and ensures optimum directional stability when accelerating and when cornering under load. All load distribution functions are completely automatic and are undetected by the driver.
\r\n\r\nThe Bugatti marque has since earliest times been regarded as a central force in the advancement of automobile development by innovative solutions. A position deservedly maintained by the first high-performance sports car of the modern Bugatti.

Most of the mods are focused on aerodynmics and cooling, two essential ingredients for a 250+mph supercar.
\r\n\r\nCompared to last 16-4, the wheelbase has been extended 50 millimeters to 2700mm (106.3). The extra length is entirely used to increase cabin space.
\r\n\r\nInside, a hi-fi system from Dieter Burmester was specially designed for perfect audio fidelity. The best possible component layout was agreed upon with Bugatti when the monocoque bodyshell was under development.
\r\n\r\nThe aerodynamics have been heavily developed over the last few months. The front air inlet apertures have been optimized for engine & brake cooling. Additionally, body lift is kept under control at high speeds with an automatically extending rear spoiler, fully paneled undertray & a diffuser. Cooling ducts for the engine are located underneath the spoiler. After the engine is shut off, the spoiler lifts to help warm air escape the engine bay.
\r\n\r\nNot surprising, the 16-4 now adopts Michellin''s PAX technology. This allows for continous tire pressure monitoring and run-flat properties.
\r\n\r\nThe W16 alloy block engine is a true mark of innovation. Two exceptionally narrow V8 blocks are combined at an angle of 90 degrees. The W layout provides for a generous engine capacity from a compact unit. Continuously variable electro-hydraulic camshaft is operational at all times. This W16 mated to an all new seven speed gearbox. Gear shifts take place sequentionally at paddles behind the steering wheel. The patented double clutch transmission shifts from one gear to another within 200 milliseconds.
\r\n\r\nThe Bugatti 16-4 will be one of the most extreme machines produced this decade. As with past Bugattis, the 16-4 offers heaps of innovation & class. Never before has a road going car contained a W16 engine nor a 7-Speed transmission. The 16-4 proves Bugatti is alive and ready to take our roads by storm.

\r\n\r\nThe model name Bugatti EB 218 refers to the 18-cylinder engine, the first of its kind to be used in a passenger vehicle. This engine, which was developed at Volkswagen, has three rows of six-cylinder banks which are joined in the shape of a ''W''. With a displacement of 6.3 litres, the direct injection engine has an output of 408 kW / 555 bhp and a maximum torque of 650 Newton metres (Nm).
\r\n\r\nAluminium space-frame technology has been used for the production of the body. The exterior aluminium cladding is finished in pearlescent ''Blu Notte Perlato''.
\r\n\r\nThe harmonious lines of the body are continued in the comfortable and elegant interior. The instruments are oval in shape and the instrument panel is framed in the finest leather.
\r\n\r\nThe interior is further enhanced through the use of light walnut. The special silk-finish leather is in ''biscuit'' colour.
\r\n\r\nPermanent four-wheel drive and an aluminum multi-link suspension lend the Bugatti EB 218 impressive driving dynamics and excellent traction. The powerful and sporty appearance of the vehicle is underlined by the wide track and the long wheelbase with short body overhang. The Bugatti design can also be seen in the harmonious wheels made from shining magnesium. The Bugatti emblem EB is on the central lock. The vehicle is fitted with eye-catching 285/50 R 18 tyres.
\r\n\r\nThe EB 218 was a four-door saloon, unlike the EB 118 which had been a two-door coupe version. The EB 218 was the second prototype since the Volkswagen acquisition, thus the ''2'' in 218. The ''18'' represents the 18-cylinder engine. There are three rows of six-cylinders joined together to form a ''W'' shape. The engine is located in the front and powers all four wheels.
\r\n\r\nThe Bugatti EB 218 is a tribute to beauty and luxury. Elegantly designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign, it compliments classic styling while being outfitted with state-of-the-art technology. A spoiler is carefully hidden in the back and springs to life at high speeds to provide stability and down force. The body and chassis are constructed of a space-frame-technology.
\r\n\r\nThe interior instruments are oval in shape and framed in fine leather. A navigation system, when not in use, is hidden beneath a clock. Changing gears is easy and convenient with the buttons for the sequential transmission located on the steering wheel. The EB emblem is embroidered on the electrically adjustable head restraints. The seats provide ample room for their occupants and the foot rests complete the ensemble.

But that there is no lack of superlatives is thanks to the group''s mother VW. It helped to get the four-seater an engine which the world hasn''t seen before.\r\nUnder the front hood sits the first 18-cylinder engine of car history which is said to reach an unequalled development of power. For this three six-cylinder row-benches are coupled to a compact W-shape whereas every three of the 18 wrought-iron connecting rods have a common crank pin. The power take-off on the crankshaft is done in the middle of the engine as is the camshaft drive.
\r\n\r\nFrom a displacement of 6.3-litres the engine with gasoline-direct ignition develops 555hp at 4800rpm and delivers a torque of 650Nm which is brought onto the road via a permanent all-wheel drive. With that the crown amongst the street sports-cars would belong to the Bugatti - if it would go into serial production. Chances for that seem not to be bad if one believes the pundits: It is said that Piech plans to build an own plant near the former place of production in the Alsace.
\r\n\r\nAt the Paris Motor Show the Bugatti EB118 revealed more of its interior. So the study built by Italdesign for VW is constructed in Space-Frame-Technique like the Audi A8. At 120km/h below the rear window a spoiler comes out which enhances the driving stability. The sequential gearbox is operated by buttons on the steering wheel. Ivory-coloured dials, aluminium trim and blue-tinted walnut wood show reminiscenes of the classic Bugatti- and Art deco-style. In the wide dashboard without center console only the most important functions do lie open, navigation system, radio and ice box remain hidden. At the Geneva Auto Show in March 1999 a four-door Bugatti-limousine shall explore the potential of the brand. On that it will depend if a production from the year 2003 in the Alsace, which already offered ((production)) ground to VW, can start.

For 2006, several safety features become standard.
\r\n\r\nThree versions are offered — the CX, the midlevel CXL and the performance-oriented CXS — and two engine choices are available. Three levels of traction control, including General Motors'' StabiliTrak electronic stability system, are offered. "QuietTuning" features include acoustical laminate on the windshield and front side glass and "Quiet Steel" laminate in front of the dash. The LaCrosse is the first Buick that can be equipped with both a factory-installed remote starter and remote-operated climate control.
\r\n\r\nA larger, more modern rendition of Buick''s familiar elliptical vertical-bar grille is fitted on the LaCrosse, and it''s flanked by dual headlights. Sculpted forms in the hood sweep back toward the windshield. Jewellike headlights and taillights, along with chrome body accents, are installed. Buick claims that the LaCrosse''s headlight performance is 35 percent greater than the Century''s and Regal''s. Amber side marker lights are integrated into the outer lenses, which taper into the front fenders. CXS models include projector fog lamps.
\r\n\r\nIn contrast to the Century and Regal, which had rear quarter windows in the back doors, the LaCrosse has these windows in the C-pillars. Buick says these crescent-shaped windows help reduce blind spots in the car. Rocker panels on CX models have a grained graphite finish, while those on the CXL and CXS have a glossy, body-colored finish. Chrome door handles are used on the CXS sedan.
\r\n\r\nCompared with the departed Regal, the LaCrosse has revised suspension tuning. Rebound damper bumpers are four times longer for improved cushioning, and the power steering has been retuned. With the standard suspension, the springs are about 20 percent stiffer than before, with higher-rate front and rear stabilizers. The CXS comes standard with a Gran Touring suspension.
\r\n\r\nThe wheels measure 16 inches in diameter on the CX and CXL and 17 inches on the CXS. A power sunroof is optional. Built on a 110.5-inch wheelbase, the LaCrosse is 198.1 inches long overall.
\r\n\r\nLaCrosse sedans come in either a five- or six-passenger configuration. Five-passenger models have a console-mounted gearshift lever and a center armrest. Six-passenger sedans have a column-mounted gearshift and a "flip and fold" seatback cushion that can double as an armrest and storage bin. A 60/40-split, folding rear seatback is standard in the CXL and CXS models and optional in the CX.
\r\n\r\nCloth seats are installed in the CX, but the CXL and CXS have leather seating surfaces. The steering wheel in the CXS has standard tilt and telescoping adjustments. Trunk capacity is 16 cubic feet.
\r\n\r\nGM''s OnStar communication system and a PassLock III theft-deterrent system are standard. Other standard equipment includes remote keyless entry, a power driver''s seat, power windows and locks, and a six-speaker stereo with a CD player. Heated seats, XM Satellite Radio, and auxiliary audio and climate controls on the steering wheel are optional.
\r\n\r\nThe CX and CXL models use a 3.8-liter V-6 engine that produces 200 horsepower and 230 pounds-feet of torque. A 3.6-liter V-6 with variable valve timing goes into the CXS and delivers 240 hp and 225 pounds-feet of torque. Both engines team with a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nFor 2006, all-disc antilock brakes and side curtain-type airbags are standard. GM''s StabiliTrak and Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist are optional.
\r\n\r\nAcceleration is pleasantly energetic with the 3.6-liter V-6 in the CXS model. The LaCrosse is a highly traditional Buick, which could be good or bad depending on one''s tastes. This sedan is easy to drive. Overall, the LaCrosse is surprisingly similar in personality to the old Park Avenue.
\r\n\r\nTransmission shifts are sometimes noticeable, but not annoying. Other than a mild growl when pushed hard, the smaller V-6 is very quiet.
\r\n\r\nThe ride is generally gentle due to the soft suspension, but the LaCrosse can hit some bumps and holes rather hard. That softness also translates to considerable understeer and imprecise handling.
\r\n\r\nFront-seat space is bountiful, but backseat headroom and legroom are marginal. Visibility is good due to the amount of glass in this car. The controls are mostly sensible, but some are marked with cryptic icons. Some instruments — especially the fuel and temperature gauges — are somewhat difficult to read at a glance.

Both engines feature electronic throttle control.
\r\n\r\nSix airbags, including a new dual-depth front passenger airbag, are installed. To enhance ride and handling qualities, the Lucerne is the first Buick to offer Magnetic Ride Control, and GM''s StabiliTrak electronic stability system is available. Lucernes can be equipped with a DVD-based navigation system, XM Satellite Radio, a 245-watt nine-speaker audio system, a remote starter, heated windshield-washer fluid and rain-sensing wipers.
\r\n\r\nBuick emphasizes the QuietTuning of the Lucerne and other models, which the automaker claims will reduce or tune out unwanted wind, road and powertrain noise. Three trim levels are available: CX, CXL and CXS. Sales begin in fall 2005.
\r\n\r\nDesign cues stem from Buick''s most recent concept car, the Velite, which appeared at the 2004 New York International Auto Show. Front-end styling of the Lucerne features a new waterfall-style grille that uses thin vertical vanes and includes a chrome Buick tri-shield emblem. Polycarbonate headlight modules that taper into the front fenders flank the grille. The front fascia features split air intakes.
\r\n\r\nFreshly designed chrome portholes — they''re machined and set high in each front fender — are reminiscent of those on historic Buicks. Lucerne CX and CXL models with V-6 power have three portholes on each side, while V-8 sedans get four portholes per side — a differentiating idea that reaches as far back as 1949.
\r\n\r\nA steep, 60-degree windshield leads into a roofline that flows into a 70-degree rear window. Horizontal taillamps with floating inner lenses wrap into the deck lid and are separated by a Buick tri-shield emblem. CXS models with V-8 power feature chrome-tipped dual exhaust pipes.
\r\n\r\nBuick promotes the Lucerne''s snug body gaps and tight wheel-to-wheel well relationships. Chrome wheels are optional, and painted aluminum wheels hold 18-inch tires on the CXS sedan. The CX gets 16-inch aluminum wheels, and CXL models wear 17-inch rubber.
\r\n\r\nBuilt on a 115.5-inch wheelbase, the Lucerne measures 204 inches long overall, stands 58 inches tall and is 74 inches wide.
\r\n\r\nSeating for either five or six occupants is available. The upholstery features French seams and stitching. Second-row legroom can be as much as 41 inches, courtesy of the Lucerne''s long wheelbase. Second-row knee clearance is 5.5 inches, and the trunk holds 17 cubic feet of cargo.
\r\n\r\nThe Lucerne is available with one of two engines. In the CX or CXL, the 3.8-liter V-6 produces an estimated 195 hp at 5,200 rpm. Standard in the CXS and optional in the CXL, the 4.6-liter V-8 delivers an estimated 275 hp at 5,600 rpm and 300 pounds-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. Both engines work with a four-speed-automatic transmission and run on regular-grade gasoline.
\r\n\r\nSix airbags are standard in all Lucernes: a dual-stage driver''s airbag, a dual-depth front passenger airbag, and side-impact and side curtain-type devices.

\r\n\r\nRainiers come with rear- or all-wheel drive. All are built on General Motors'' short-wheelbase midsize SUV architecture, which is also used for the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy. An electronically controlled rear air suspension is intended to produce a comfortable ride.
\r\n\r\nAn inline-six-cylinder engine is standard, and it gains 16 horsepower for 2006. A 5.3-liter V-8 is optional. Woodgrain trim is standard on the instrument panel, doors and center console. Side curtain-type airbags are available.
\r\n\r\nThough it is intended primarily for driving on regular pavement, the all-wheel-drive Rainier offers offroad capability, according to Buick, and is said to be "very capable on . . . an unpaved, two-track road."
\r\n\r\nFor 2006, a new front grille and tri-shield emblem are installed. Sculpted wheel flares and shoulders are meant to enhance the Rainier''s appearance.
\r\n\r\nClear headlights have offset high/low beam fixtures. Fog lamps with chrome surrounds are standard. Two-tone front and rear fascias are body-colored over gray, with the gray portion extending into the rocker panels. The Rainier features 17-inch wheels, power rack-and-pinion steering and Bilstein shock absorbers.
\r\n\r\nPerforated leather upholstery is standard, and heated front seats are optional. The monochromatic interior features chrome accents and dark woodgrain trim.

CXL Plus editions feature a 242-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 with variable valve timing; this engine is optional in the CXL. The new base engine is a 3.5-liter V-6.
\r\n\r\nA touchscreen navigation system is optional, and 17-inch wheels are standard. Several features become standard for 2006, including rear park assist and General Motors'' OnStar communication system.
\r\n\r\nDescribed by Buick as having a "refined ruggedness," the Rendezvous has an overall shape like that of an SUV. Sharp lines take precedence over curves, and Buick gave it a rear slope in contrast to the typically boxy SUV shape. It shares styling elements with other Buicks, and gets a new grille for 2006.
\r\n\r\nChrome wheels are available on models with the 3.6-liter V-6. Each Rendezvous rides a 112.2-inch wheelbase, measures 186.5 inches long overall and stands 68.9 inches tall. A fully independent suspension is installed.
\r\n\r\nIn standard form, the Rendezvous seats five occupants, but its reconfigurable interior can be equipped with third-row seats that hold two additional people. The second row can have either a three-place split bench seat or two captain''s chairs. The second-row seats flip and fold for access to the rear. Cargo volume totals 108.9 cubic feet when the seats are folded, and a 4-by-8-foot panel can be loaded through the back door. Low doorsills ease entry and exit.
\r\n\r\nThe standard Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist system can warn the driver of obstacles to the rear. XM Satellite Radio and DVD entertainment are optional.
\r\n\r\nThe 3.5-liter V-6 develops 201 hp in front-wheel-drive Rendezvous models and 196 hp in all-wheel-drive editions. A 242-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 is available. Both engines employ a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nSide-impact airbags and antilock brakes are available.
\r\n\r\nAutomatic-transmission responses are quick and easy in the Rendezvous. Acceleration is good, if not exactly inspiring. The Rendezvous runs very quietly and offers plenty of versatile space. The gauges are notable in appearance, but they''re not the easiest to read at a glance.
\r\n\r\nThe Rendezvous delivers a generally soft ride, but its suspension hits some bumps rather hard. Handling is reasonably precise with good steering feel and feedback, very much like what drivers might expect from a minivan.
'); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1088, '2006 Buick Terraza', 'Buick', '3.5-liter V6', '213.6 cu in. | 3500.9 cc', '201.00 BHP (147.9 KW) @ 5600.00 RPM', '216.00 Ft-Lbs (292.9 NM) @ 4000.00 RPM', '6000 rpm', 'ABS, vented disc', 'P225/60R17, all season, blackwall', '205.001 in | 5207 mm', '4470 lbs | 2027.6 kg', '8.5', '108 mph', '18 / 25', '$27,990.00', 'Buick05.jpg', 0, 2, 'The Buick of minivans is generally what we''d expect a Buick to be: big, quiet, comfortable and loaded with conveniences.
\r\n\r\nIf anything stands out about the 2006 Buick Terraza, it''s how well this minivan takes care of its passengers. It comfortably seats seven in a nicely designed and finished interior. The base Terraza CX is loaded with standard features, including a DVD entertainment system for rear passengers and a one-year subscription to GM''s in-demand OnStar tele-aid service. Terraza is also available with GM''s unique PhatNoise removable hard drive, which allows the onboard entertainment system to play or display MP3 music files, photographs, video games and the latest movie releases.
\r\n\r\nTerraza''s build quality meets or beats the best in the class, and it has the minivan essentials covered. It comes standard with a V6 engine, and it''s available with all-wheel drive. With the optional towing package, it can pull 3,500 pounds.
\r\n\r\nFor 2006, the Terraza offers side-impact airbags for rear passengers, and Buick has increased the standard warranty to a premium-grade four years or 50,000 miles. Yet the biggest news for 2006 is an optional 3.9-liter V6 with variable valve timing and a 22 percent increase in horsepower. Choose this engine and Terraza morphs from one of the least powerful minivans available into one of the most powerful.
\r\n\r\nThat''s good, because if Terraza falls short of the best in class, it''s most obvious in the driving. The standard 3.5-liter V6 is adequate, no more. And while Terraza is quiet and comfortable in the Buick tradition, it feels less responsive than the minivans from Chrysler, Honda, and Toyota. That more powerful 3.9-liter V6 should help.
\r\n\r\nFor now, Terraza''s real strength lies in other important minivan virtues, and to considerable extent in its value. Comparably equipped, it retails for less than the Chrysler Town & Country or a loaded Toyota Sienna, and that''s before the incentives GM frequently offers.
\r\n\r\nLike its contemporaries from Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn, Terraza stands on more solid competitive ground than previous GM minivans. It shares its chassis and mechanicals with the Chevy Uplander, Pontiac Montana and Saturn Relay, and the differences are defined by minor styling changes and varying equipment levels. While each brand may indeed appeal to different buyers, smart consumers will shop them all. Price differences among the GM minivans amount to a few dollars when they are comparably equipped, and all are available with the most popular features. The choice may come down to satisfaction with a particular dealership.
\r\n\r\nLike its GM counterparts, Terraza''s long-nose, truck-style exterior design is intended to create the image an SUV more than a minivan. We say no one will mistake the Terraza for anything but what it is: a minivan with the flexibility, features and family-friendly conveniences minivan buyers expect.
\r\n\r\nThe 2006 Buick Terraza is offered in two feature-packed trim levels, with standard front wheel-drive, a 196-hp 3.5-liter V6 and four-speed automatic transmission. Both models have seating for seven and dual sliding rear doors. All-wheel drive and an upgrade V6 are optional on both trim levels, but you can''t have both awd and the more powerful engine.
\r\n\r\nThe Terraza CX ($27,250) comes with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, tilt wheel, remote keyless entry with programmable locks, power driver''s seat, power windows, a six-speaker AM/FM/CD MP3 stereo system, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and rear seats that can be folded or removed. It features GM''s interior roof rail system, with an overhead console and accommodations for snap-in accessory options. Plastic wheels covers are standard on 17-inch steel wheels. Versatrak all-wheel drive is optional ($3,000).
\r\n\r\nThe Terraza CXL ($29,750) adds leather-trimmed seats with power adjustment for the front passenger and position memory for the driver, power rear doors, rear climate control, ultrasonic rear park assist, audio controls on the steering wheel, a rear cargo organizer, a 115-volt (house-current) power outlet in the rear cargo area, and a first aid kit. Alloy wheels are standard. Versatrak all-wheel drive is optional ($3,500).
\r\n\r\nThe 240-hp 3.9-liter V6 ($500) is optional on both models.
\r\n\r\nOptions for the Terraza CX include most of the features standard on the CXL, including the rear cargo area organizer ($285), rear air conditioning ($475), alloy wheels ($325), and a left-side power sliding door packaged with rear park assist ($545). Both trim levels are available with a remote starter ($190), six-CD changer ($295), XM Satellite Radio ($325), PhatNoise ($675), heated front seats ($275), and polished alloy wheels ($650).
\r\n\r\nSafety features that come standard on all models include ABS and traction control. Front-wheel-drive models come with GM''s StabiliTrak electronic stability control. The OnStar subscription includes Advanced Automatic Crash Notification, which sends crash data to participating 911 centers to help them dispatch the appropriate life-saving personnel and equipment. Crash protection includes dual-stage front airbags. Side-impact airbags for first and second-row passengers are standard on Terraza CXL and optional on CX ($750). Terraza is not available with the head-protection airbags offered is some other minivans, but it scores well in government crash tests. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives it five stars for a frontal impact, and four stars for side impact with the optional side airbags.
\r\n\r\nBuick calls the Terraza a crossover sport van, comparing its appearance to an SUV and highlighting design cues like its long hood, big grille, big wheels and blacked-out pillars. If you like the look, great, but don''t fall for the SUV stuff.
\r\n\r\nTerraza looks like a minivan with a prominent snout, and in the functional sense it is a minivan, with minivan advantages such as low step-in and load lift heights compared to the typical SUV. Of course, with 5.5 inches of ground clearances, owners shouldn''t expect SUV-style off-road performance, either. When equipped with all-wheel drive, Terraza is more like an all-weather family transport unit with some flair.
\r\n\r\nThe big vertical-toothed grille and integrated headlamps emphasize Terraza''s long nose. From there rearward, the Terraza is adorned only by a single strip of chrome on each side. The rear side windows are tinted dark, and the roof is decked with a chrome-railed roof rack. There are sliding rear doors on both sides, power-operated from the dash or key fob on the high-zoot CXL. Given Terraza''s premium pretensions, it''s odd that there is no power assist for the rear liftgate.
\r\n\r\nThe most lasting impression after a Terraza walkaround? Perhaps the quality fit and finish. The seams on our test vehicle matched precisely and consistently, and the paint had a deep luster with very little orange-peel effect. It was among the best we''ve seen from GM and as good as any other minivan currently offered, including those known for their build quality.
\r\n\r\nThe Terraza''s outside mirrors fold tight against the side windows to help squeeze it into tight parking spots, and the beep-beep-beep of the rear park assist, standard on our CXL, is welcome in most urban parking situations.
\r\n\r\nWe applaud GM''s effort to make options for the physically challenged off-the-rack features. Terraza is available with a Sit-N-Lift power seat system ($4,795) that provides easy access to the right-hand second-row seating area. Operated via remote control, the power bucket seat rotates and then extends out of the vehicle before lowering near pavement level for easy entry and exit.
\r\n\r\nFrom the passenger space, the Terraza stacks up well against its minivan competition, bar none. Its interior is major improvement over any of GM''s previous minivans.
\r\n\r\nBoth finish and materials are almost surprisingly good, considering some of GM''s efforts just a few years ago. Plastics in the Terraza are generally rich in touch and appearance. Some media have bashed the fake wood trim, but we find it as good as that from some luxury brands that cost considerably more. The forward seats in our Terraza CXL were upholstered in smooth, sturdy leather.
\r\n\r\nThe black-and-white gauges are large, and trimmed with a nice chrome accent. The script is large, too, and sharply legible. The instrument panel, center console and door panels are well integrated, flowing nicely from one panel to the next. The design is straightforward, and nothing in here will confuse anyone for very long.
\r\n\r\nThe center stack is particularly well done. Audio controls sit above the climate controls, as we like them, and the knobs are not only big, but pleasant to touch. There''s a pair of pull-out cupholders and a swing-out storage bin at the bottom. There''s also a folding utility table between the front seats with more cupholders and indents to keep phones or glasses handy without allowing them to slide off.
\r\n\r\nWe like the Terraza''s cabin, but it isn''t perfect. The bins built into the back of the front seats are well designed, with secure storage for headsets and discs. Yet the plastic they''re shaped from is hard, and they feel flimsy. And the view through the rear-view mirror is about as obstructed as a mainstream vehicle gets. It''s noticeably restricted by the rear-seat headrests, with a relatively narrow scope.
\r\n\r\nRear-seat DVD entertainment is standard, not a pricey option, and the system has three-mode operation, so the DVD, CD and radio can be played simultaneously through appropriate speakers and wireless headsets.
\r\n\r\nGM''s PhatNoise removable hard drive remains unique in the auto industry. It snaps into Terraza''s interior roof-rail system, where it''s wired into the audio-video system. It removes easily and connects to any computer through a USB port. With 40 gigabytes of storage space, it can hold 40 full-length movies, video games, thousands of digital photos, up to 10,000 songs in MP3, WMA or WAV format, or any combination thereof. Voice browsing allows most songs and movies to be selected by name. All told, with a good foundation in the fundamentals and features like PhatNoise, Terraza has the conveniences that make family driving more pleasant. When it comes to passenger/cargo flexibility, Terraza does quite well, too.
\r\n\r\nThe standard interior layout is familiar in minivans: four captain''s chairs and a three-place rear bench. The second-row seats are as tall and supportive as those in front. They''ll accommodate adults, not just kids, in real comfort. The third-row bench is no problem for passengers through age 15 or 16, even on long drives, though access is not the easiest. The pathway between the individual second-row seats is narrow. From the outboard side, there''s a one-button mechanism that folds the second seatback forward and slides the entire seat toward the front. However, it doesn''t make climbing in back much easier than walking between the second-row seats.
\r\n\r\nThe third-row bench seat is split, and any or all of the seatbacks quickly fold forward, creating an expansive, essentially flat load floor from the driver''s seat rearward. The rear seats can be removed without too much difficulty, but they don''t tumble into the floor as they do in minivans from Chrysler, Ford, and Honda. With the seats in place, you get 27 cubic feet of cargo space, or a lot more than the trunk in a large sedan. With the third row folded you get 74 cubic feet, and with the rear seats removed you get 136 cubic feet. That''s twice as much as what the full-size Cadillac Escalade SUV offers, but about mid-pack for minivans, which range from 130 to 160 cubic feet.
\r\n\r\nThe hidden rear cargo organizer has advantages and disadvantages. It can keep items out of sight and it keeps groceries from sliding around. Yet it''s not very deep, and it raises the load height for larger items a good eight inches.
\r\n\r\nGM''s terrific OnStar communications system is, in important ways, a safety feature. If the airbags deploy, an OnStar operator will try to reach vehicle occupants and direct paramedics to the crash location if the occupants don''t respond. More commonly, OnStar operators can provide directions, locate the nearest five-star Italian restaurant or send help if the Terraza has run out of gas. OnStar operators can also unlock the doors remotely should you leave the keys inside, and they can track the vehicle if it''s stolen, directing police to the scene.
\r\n\r\nThe Buick Terraza offers a soft, smooth ride and is best outfitted with the optional 3.9-liter V6. This engine generates 240 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque, compared to 196 horsepower and 213 pound-feet for the standard 3.5-liter V6. That quickly, the optional engine lifts the Terraza from the low-end of the minivan power spectrum to somewhere near the top.
\r\n\r\nWe''ve sampled the 3.9-liter V6 in other GM products, and it delivers a nice, broad power curve, with lots of acceleration-producing torque at all engine speeds. We''d also guess that in real-world driving, it will not produce a significant drop in Terraza''s fuel mileage, compared to the standard 3.5-liter V6. The problem is that the 3.9 is only available in front-drive Terrazas. Until we can evaluate the new engine in this minivan, we can''t offer snowbelt drivers a sound recommendation: all-wheel-drive, or front drive with the big V6.
\r\n\r\nOur hunch is that we''d take the bigger engine, even for places where the snow flies and the roads freeze. That''s because that standard V6 is the weakest link in the Terraza package. If this Buick falls off compared to the best minivans, it''s most obvious in the driving, and the single biggest reason is the engine.
\r\n\r\nThe fundamental design of the cast-iron 3.5-liter V6 goes back decades, which doesn''t necessarily mean it''s bad. At interstate speeds the standard engine is quiet and relatively smooth. There''s enough quick-burst acceleration for safe freeway merging or left turns during rush hour, and excellent transmission response helps take full advantage of the power that''s available. GM makes some of the best automatic transmissions available anywhere. Terraza''s has four speeds (compared to five in some competitors), but it responds quickly and appropriately to the driver''s action on the gas pedal. It never hunts indecisively for the right gear, and shifts up or down as smooth as can be.
\r\n\r\nGiven all that, the standard 3.5-liter V6 isn''t likely to generate emotion of any sort, let alone a thrill. The numbers speak for themselves: Terraza''s standard engine delivers less horsepower and torque than any in the class (except other GM minivans), and it''s noticeable on the road. When it comes to high-rev power, smoothness or fuel economy, it can''t match the overhead cam engines in some competitors, and it can''t match the low-end grunt of cam-in-block engines in others. We recommend you test drive the 3.9-liter V6.
\r\n\r\nGM''s VersaTrak fulltime all-wheel-drive system works very well in snow, slush and ice, and we heartily recommend it. VersaTrak''s mechanicals are relatively simple, and add less weight to the vehicle than many all-wheel-drive systems. There are no buttons or levers to engage, yet in operation VersaTrak can do things some similar systems can''t. When the Terraza''s front wheels lose grip, the system automatically shifts engine power to the rear wheels, greatly improving the odds of continued forward mobility. Yet VersaTrak can also shift power from side to side between the rear wheels. If the inside wheel encounters slush build-up near the center of the road, VersaTrak sends power to the outside wheel with grip.
\r\n\r\nFront-wheel-drive Terrazas come standard with StabiliTrak, GM''s electronic stability system. This is valuable, too. Let''s say a driver inadvertently drops the right-side wheels off the pavement and onto a gravel shoulder. The right-side wheels would tend to lose grip on the low-friction gravel. Without StabiliTrak, the left-side wheels would continue to grip as before, quite possibly directing the vehicle toward the center line or opposite lane. StabiliTrak senses the disparity in traction and intervenes by applying brakes to the outside wheels or cutting engine power. The electronics help prevent a sharp change in direction and help the driver to regain full control without overreacting or overcorrecting. In short, StabiliTrak can help you avoid a wreck.
\r\n\r\nStabiliTrack is offered only on front-drive models. It''s not available with all-wheel drive. In the northeast or mountain states, we''d choose the all-wheel drive. It brings a slight penalty in fuel mileage (1 mile per gallon according to EPA figures), but in the right climate it''s well worth it. Unfortunately, with a new upgrade V6 engine option for 2006, the all-wheel-drive/electronic stability program decision gets more difficult, and in this case we aren''t able to make a clear recommendation.
\r\n\r\nRide quality is comfortably soft, but it comes with side-to-side sway in corners taken at any speed faster than sedate. The steering is very light, and great for negotiating parking lots, but it doesn''t offer much road feel, so it doesn''t tell a driver much about how the front tires are gripping. On back roads, the Terraza does not respond as crisply as some other minivans. Some drivers may appreciate the softer ride and never know the handling difference.
\r\n\r\nMost drivers will appreciate the quiet inside. Terraza benefits from what Buick calls Quiet Tuning: a package of sound blockers, attenuators, and deadeners from the firewall to the tailgate. Considering the size of the hole the Terraza cuts through the air, the big tires and the huge glass area, it is very quiet at all speeds on good pavement (though the suspension can clunk a bit on rough stuff). Any minivan, because it is essentially a big empty box with lots of glass, is an acoustic engineer''s nightmare, and Buick has done a world-class job of quieting things down.
\r\n\r\nThe brakes work impressively, too. In full-on stops, the Terraza''s anti-lock braking system keeps the wheels precisely at the point of lockup without any shuddering through the pedal, and stops this minivan as quickly as possible while leaving the driver full directional control. The 25-gallon fuel tank is another plus. Based on our real-world mileage figures, highway range of more than 550 miles is within reach.

It appears they got their wish, as the current Century enters its ninth, and final, year of production.
\r\n\r\nThe 2005 Buick Century still stacks up nicely when it comes to offering room for five and plenty of trunk space, but the aging design and lackluster interior leave much to be desired, especially considering what kind of cars can be had for the same money. If you''re looking for nothing more than a comfortable and reliable American sedan with few bells and whistles, the Century will suffice. However, a better overall value can be found in Buick''s new 2005 LaCrosse, which replaces both the Century and the departed Regal. In fact, the Buick Century will see only a short production run for 2005 to make room for the LaCrosse.
\r\n\r\nThe Buick Century is offered in several trim levels. Standard equipment includes remote keyless entry, manual dual-zone air conditioning with air filtration, programmable power door locks, power windows, automatic on/off headlamps with daytime running lamps, a tilt steering wheel and a theft-deterrent system. The Custom package adds a power driver seat, cruise control, rear-seat assist handles and floor mats. The Limited package builds on the Custom features with leather seating, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and chrome wheel covers. The new Special Edition is the top-line Century this year, and boasts dual-zone automatic climate control, 16-inch touring tires mounted on chrome alloys, ABS, traction control and a tire inflation monitor. Additional options include the OnStar communications system and an upgraded CD/cassette stereo.
\r\n\r\nThe Buick Century is powered by a 3.1-liter V6 that makes 175 horsepower. With V6 family sedans like the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima now making at least 240 hp (and their four-cylinder versions making at least 160), this Buick is certainly on the short end of the power spectrum. Fuel economy, however, is good for a V6 with a rating of 20 city/29 highway. A smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission puts the power to the pavement through the front wheels, and traction control is included with the optional ABS.
\r\n\r\nAll Century models come with four-wheel disc brakes; ABS and a side-impact airbag (for the driver only) are optional. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Buick Century four stars (out of a possible five) for driver-side front-impact protection and three stars for front-passenger protection. Side-impact tests resulted in a three-star rating for both front and rear passengers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Century an "Acceptable" rating for in frontal offset crash testing.
\r\n\r\nInside, occupants will find easy-to-use controls, inoffensive styling and plenty of room up front. The seats are more like couch cushions than car seats, so don''t expect much in the way of firm support. The quality of the cabin materials could be better, but overall build quality tends to be better than average. Trunk space is quite generous for a midsize sedan with a maximum capacity of 16.7 cubic feet.

\r\n\r\nA Celebration Edition was introduced in 2003 and continues into 2005, along with Custom and Limited models. All 2005 LeSabres have GM''s OnStar communication system that features upgraded hands-free capabilities. Four new option discount packages and new machine-faced 16-inch aluminum wheels are available. All LeSabres have GM''s StabiliTrak electronic stability system.
\r\n\r\nLeSabres are known for conservative styling, led by a distinctive, wide, oval vertical-bar grille. Riding a 112.2-inch wheelbase, the sedan measures 200 inches long overall and 57 inches tall. A Gran Touring Suspension Package features 16-inch touring tires and a specially tuned suspension with a rear stabilizer bar.
\r\n\r\nThe Celebration Edition features a blacked-out grille, body-colored lower fascias and rocker moldings, integrated turn-signal indicators on the outside mirrors and 16-inch chrome-plated wheels.
\r\n\r\nA standard front bench seat lets the LeSabre seat six occupants. Optional front bucket seats are generally installed in only a small number of LeSabre models. The Limited sedan has a rear center armrest with a pass-thru to the spacious trunk, which holds 18 cubic feet of cargo.
\r\n\r\nBuick describes the front seat as "catcher''s mitt" style because of its operation. In a rear-end collision, each head restraint moves up and forward, close to the occupant''s head, as a means of reducing the risk of whiplash injury. Power windows and locks, cruise control, lockout protection and a theft-deterrent system are standard.
\r\n\r\nThe Leather & Sound Group of options includes CD and cassette players and XM Satellite Radio. The Leather & Comfort Group adds heated front leather seats and mirrors, moisture-sensing wipers and side-impact airbags.
\r\n\r\nBuick''s familiar 3.8-liter V-6 produces 205 horsepower and 230 pounds-feet of torque and drives the front wheels via a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes are standard on all models. Side-impact airbags are standard in the Limited model and optional in the Custom.
\r\n\r\nFar removed from the big Buicks of old, the modern LeSabre offers plenty of passenger space, a satisfying ride experience, reasonable fuel economy and a moderate price. Not only is its performance smooth, but this sedan is also more satisfying than many shoppers may expect. The LeSabre accelerates eagerly — practically lunging ahead when the gas pedal hits the floor — and takes full advantage of its excellent powertrain. Downshifts are quick and easy.
\r\n\r\nHandling is passable, and this car feels more secure in corners and curves than some smaller, sportier models. The soft suspension permits too much body lean and the tires squeal too often to allow spirited driving, but it cushions small bumps effectively.
\r\n\r\nThe front seat bottoms are short, nicely cushioned and supportive, but they lack side bolstering. The gauges are easy to read, but green lights on the dashboard can be annoying at night.

Two seemingly incompatible words that nonetheless convey the spirit of the Buick Velite – a four-seat convertible that envelops its passengers in a rich, elegant environment while forging new ground in the exclusive territory of expressive, upscale rear-drive mid-size automobiles.
\r\n\r\nThe Velite is the first American demonstration of GM’s all-new Zeta global vehicle architecture, featuring a premium rear-wheel-drive chassis. Buick will unveil the Velite concept at the New York Auto Show.
\r\n\r\nNamed for an elite class of quick-moving soldiers in Napoleon’s army, the Velite was designed at GM’s Advanced Studio in Warren, Mich. and assembled at renowned coachbuilder Stile Bertone’s studio in Italy. Its sister car, the Opel Insignia, debuted the Zeta architecture at the Frankfurt International Auto Show last year.
\r\n\r\n“Velite is a new expression of Buick’s longstanding heritage in understated yet sophisticated design,” said Anne Asensio, executive director – GM Advanced Design. “While certainly an expression of premium American style, the Velite’s impressive stance and overall presence emphasize a sumptuous driving experience that further pushes Buick on to the center of the world stage of luxurious touring cars.”
\r\n\r\nIndeed, Buick’s global presence is widening, particularly in Asia. Recently introduced products in China, for example, have been warmly received with demand exceeding supply. The upscale aura of these vehicles is enhanced with the rear-drive Velite – its athletic proportions and aggressive stance emphasizing a bold, contemporary design, while readily identifiable heritage cues are worn with an international flair and understated elegance.
\r\n\r\nDesigners pored over Buick’s extremely rich design history while also studying trends in global cultures and contemporary design. Modern furniture and even the atmosphere of trend-setting lounges influenced the color, mood and shape of the Velite’s exterior and interior. Heritage cues can be found in the Velite’s long dash-to-axle proportions, which convey power and a sporting elegance – a theme reinforced by 20-inch front wheels, 21-inch rear wheels and short overhangs. Its long, sculpted clamshell hood introduces a bold new look for Buick’s signature waterfall grille design. It is finished in a jewel-like luster and creates a three-dimension visual effect that blends seamlessly with the body when viewed from different angles.
\r\n\r\nThe hood integrates portholes – three per side – in a romantic, yet contemporary nod to Buick’s heritage. The hood tilts forward when opened, creating a dramatic look that evokes a bygone era of touring cars. A complementing clamshell deck lid opens in the opposite direction to swallow the Velite’s folding soft top. When retracted, the top is completely covered by the rear deck for an integrated, contoured look reminiscent of Buick’s dramatic boattail designs of the 1930s.
\r\n\r\nDecidedly upscale yet subtle appointments underscore the Velite’s aura of refined sophistication, including its Dark Tarnished Bronze Metallic exterior color. The rich-looking hue complements the vehicle’s relaxed, sophisticated mood, and is a reflection of the color’s emergence in modern design around the globe. The color contrasts with crystalline headlamp lenses, which combine with X-Beam technology to create a distinct, superior lighting system. Using the same halogen light source, X-Beam enables the use of a smaller lens while creating 44 percent greater luminous intensity than traditional reflector headlamps. Cooling vents for the lights are slotted next to the lenses, creating a unique and purposeful styling element. X-beam technology also is used in the taillamps, which blend into rearward sheetmetal designed with a nod to the 1938 Y-Job – Buick’s first concept vehicle and first convertible.
\r\n\r\n“The Velite has a presence that conveys confident power,” said Sang Yup Lee, exterior designer. “It’s a fresh, contemporary design that not only hints at Buick’s design direction, but speaks the language of modern design trends around the globe – a statement of strength through elegance, not extravagance.”
\r\n\r\nContemporary design also is reflected in the Velite’s passenger compartment, which uses sumptuous materials and the warm glow of indirect lighting to harmonize with the vehicle’s exterior design voice. It’s a tangible expression of a jazz lounge atmosphere, including an inviting rear seat that wraps around the interior like a comfortable lounge loveseat. Rear HVAC controls allow rear-seat passengers to adjust the climate to suit their moods.
\r\n\r\nSubdued lighting radiates a warm glow throughout the cabin, and is complemented by leather of three shades: Bronze Pearl, Iceberg Blue, and Woven Tan. The look of Gold Leaf Lacquer, in place of wood, is a statement of richness in many Asian cultures; it accents the interior, including the door handles and shift knob. All seating is leather-covered and the materials used throughout the interior were selected for their reassuring tactile feel.
\r\n\r\n“Everything from the colors to the shape and feel of the upholstery was designed to provide a rich, relaxing and romantic environment,” said Bryan Priebe, interior designer. “The Velite is a respite from the outside world and invites human interaction.”
\r\n\r\nThe Velite’s warm interior lighting glows from the backs of instrument panel controls and gauges. The subdued look includes a panel over the XM Satellite Radio and OnStar controls, allowing a smooth, uninterrupted appearance of the dashboard and center console.
\r\n\r\nAn “E-lock” security system allows the Velite’s driver to unlock or lock the vehicle without fumbling for a key fob. The system, which uses a proximity signal for vehicle function commands, allows starting and driving without the need for a traditional ignition key.
\r\n\r\nPower to move the Velite comes from Buick’s experimental twin-turbocharged, intercooled global V-6 engine. Four hundred horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque are derived from its DOHC design and 3.6-liter displacement. The engine features fuel-saving variable valve timing technology, which is available on some of GM’s four-, five-, six- and eight-cylinder engines. Through the use of variable engine valve timing, valve lift and duration is continuously varied to improve fuel economy, horsepower and torque, while reducing emissions.
\r\n\r\nThe V-6 is backed by a Hydra-Matic 6L80-E six-speed, rear-wheel-drive automatic transmission equipped with manual tap-shift gear selection. A pair of large, oval exhaust outlets provides an aural reminder that performance is very much a part of the vehicle’s character.
\r\n\r\n“The strength of the powertrain is the necessary complement to the Velite’s powerful design statement,” said Tom Peters, Buick Velite’s chief designer. “It’s premium performance to go with a contemporary, muscular presence.”
\r\n\r\nAlthough a concept, the Velite affirms GM’s vision for Buick as a global manufacturer of premium, elegant vehicles. It shows the exciting possibilities of the all-new Zeta vehicle architecture and an expressive new direction for Buick.
\r\n\r\n“There’s an edge to the vehicle, more than is reflected in its sculpted bodywork,” said Peters. “It’s a forward-looking vehicle that not only stands for Buick in America, but how American style, performance and prestige resonates in a contemporary, global form.”

\r\n\r\nAll of this except the grille has been modified, and the final appearance – featuring black cherry paint, doors without handles and hidden headlamps – is of a streamlined yet retro head-turner that looks like it was created specifically for the Woodward Dream Cruise.
\r\n\r\nIn a sense it was. Doble has been in charge of creating Buick show and concept cars as well as some specialty production models for the last 15 years. Mostly, his Buick concepts have been built to headline major auto shows at Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. But the Blackhawk was created to fill a different need – one he perceived when he attended custom and hot rod shows and caught the enthusiasm of their crowds.
\r\n\r\n"The folks who attend those shows are very excited and knowledgeable about cars," he said. "We felt we needed a custom Buick for that audience, but not a hot rod. Hot rods tend to have simple bodies, exposed engines, large rear wheels and lots of chrome. But when you build a custom, it’s like you’re redesigning a car.
\r\n\r\n"The Blackhawk is a highly altered car, picking up design cues from Buick’s heritage. It will be a great showpiece for a lot of events as we head toward Buick’s centennial in 2003."
\r\n\r\nTo Buick General Manager Roger W. Adams, the Blackhawk creates "a very interesting statement for Buick to make as we approach our centennial. Buicks have always had a strong element of power and distinctive style – and this is a good time to remind folks of that."
\r\n\r\nHe said Buick leaders have long promoted the marque’s upscale image and such key Buick attributes as comfort, convenience, safety and security. But in the last couple of years there has been new emphasis on more expressive Buicks.
\r\n\r\nOne example is the 1999 concept Cielo, a " no-compromise" convertible with roof rails and retractable top. Another is the 2000 concept LaCrosse, described as a "drop-dead gorgeous" flagship sedan, which packages styling cues from Buick’s past (such as vertical-bar grille, portholes and side sculpture from the ‘50s) in a refreshing way. LaCrosse, incidentally, can also reveal a pickup-type rear cargo area on a single voice command. Still another example is Rendezvous, a production Buick SUV for the 2002 model year that Adams says is more versatile than any other vehicle in its class.
\r\n\r\nThe Blackhawk, while not intended for major auto shows, adds to that new trend with a more aggressive take on styling heritage and power. And, Doble said, the Blackhawk is "no trailer queen." It’s meant to be driven, maybe even from custom show to custom show across the country.
\r\n\r\nThe Blackhawk’s performance goal is 0-60 miles per hour in under 5 seconds. Its powertrain is a 1970-vintage 455-cubic-inch Buick GS Stage III V-8 engine, heavily detailed and mated to the latest electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. The naturally aspirated, overhead valve, fuel-injected engine generates 463 horsepower at 4600 rpm and 510 lb-ft of torque at 4200 rpm.
\r\n\r\nWhile Doble had the idea of creating a great Buick custom car with heritage overtones, he did not create the Blackhawk. He took his ideas to five companies and they came back with a number of creative concepts, all of which were well received by Doble. Finally he chose one of four concepts submitted by Steven D. Pasteiner, a former Buick designer who owns a design and prototype company, Advanced Automobile Technologies, in Rochester Hills, Mich.
\r\n\r\nPasteiner had done major design work on a number of Buick concepts over the years – such as Questor, Sceptre, Park Avenue Essence, Signia and XP2000, all well-known names to students of industry dream cars. He had also designed such production Buicks as GS models of the late 1960s and Regals from the 1970s until he left General Motors Design to create his own company in 1989.
\r\n\r\nPasteiner’s enthusiasm for the Blackhawk matches Doble’s.
\r\n\r\n"This is the ultimate Buick custom car," Pasteiner said. "We used the 1939 grille because it is one of the most significant in Buick history. Those vertical bars are hints of the grilles that became Buick icons in the ‘40s and early ‘50s. The grille sets the tone for the Blackhawk. But we also liked the ‘torpedo’ body from the top-of-the-line Buicks of the 1940s."
\r\n\r\nSaid Doble: "We wanted the best from Buick history, but also we wanted to create a contemporary design. For example, the Blackhawk has a split windshield, which is right for that era – yet the windshield glass is curved, a more modern feature. Even the side glass is curved."
\r\n\r\nMany of the Blackhawk’s major components are hand made, such as the frame, the unique carbon-fiber top and the retractable system that lowers the top into the trunk (leaving a small luggage area).
\r\n\r\nOther features include a fully independent suspension, remote keyless entry (so you can open the doors, which don’t have exterior handles) and dual exhaust with three-inch pipes. The Blackhawk is equipped with 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels (a style similar to those on uplevel Rivieras, Wildcats and Skylarks of ’65) with high speed, Z-rated tires -- P295/35R18 on the front and P295/45R18 on the rear.
\r\n\r\nAs an accent complementing the exterior design, a slightly different shade of dark cherry is used to create a "sweepspear" along the sides of the body. The sweepspear is a decoration that first showed up on some ’49 Roadmasters and later became a shape sculpted into the sides of ‘50s Buicks. It’s basically a horizontal line that sweeps in a downward curve along the doors toward the base of the leading edge of the rear fender, then kicks up over the rear wheel openings. It’s a look that reappeared in the 1999 Cielo and 2000 LaCrosse concepts, both Doble projects.
\r\n\r\nWhile the Blackhawk looks to be from somewhere in time, it’s hard to pin down where. Borrowed from the same 1939 Buick that donated the grille, a lighted logo device in the middle of the trunk exterior incorporates turn signals – a reminder that this particular ’39 Buick feature was the industry’s first production turn signal. Borrowed from contemporary technology, the Blackhawk is equipped with Global Positioning System navigation tied to a liquid crystal display screen.
\r\n\r\nAnd borrowed from a 1996 Buick Riviera – one of the most luxurious of all Buicks -- is the heavily modified Blackhawk interior. That includes buff color leather for the door trim and seats, plus design of the instrument panel and center console (though the wood-rimmed steering wheel is unique). The custom car was created in the spring of 2000.
\r\n\r\nEven the name is borrowed. Buick introduced a subcompact Skyhawk for 1975 and the hawk symbol became an icon for the entire Buick line through the 1980s.
\r\n\r\n"I’ve worked on a lot of great concepts for Buick, but this is No. 1 for me," said Doble, on the eve of his retirement after 35 years with GM. "We’ll drive it – and I emphasize drive it – to custom and hot rod shows. In this car, we’ll be displaying design elements that gave Buick its character. And the message will be: ‘Buick is proud of its design and power heritage. And that we’re creating a new look based on that heritage.’ "

Cadillac BLS is specifically targeted to meet the needs of the European customer, as well as other global market customers. The four-door sedan (length/width/height: 4,680/1,762/1,449 mm), with its clear, sharply defined contours, striking wedge shape and elegant interior, continues Cadillac''s characteristic design language. The show car thus provides a clear preview of what can be expected from the new Cadillac BLS, which is scheduled to reach the market in spring 2006.
\r\n\r\n"Premium is not a question of vehicle size but purely of excellence," said Bob Lutz, responsible at GM for product development and Chairman of GM North America. "And in this aspect, the Cadillac BLS will definitely be a top player in its league."
\r\n\r\nAmong the particular strengths of this front-wheel drive sedan, apart from its expressive design, are its outstanding ride and acoustic comfort. From a technical point of view, this Cadillac will ring in a new era in brand history: For the first time, a turbo diesel variant will be available. Like the gasoline versions, the turbo diesel variant will be positioned at the upper end of the performance scale. Cadillac BLS will offer the dynamic driving performance customers have come to expect from this brand. For countries where the traffic moves on the left like the UK, the Cadillac BLS will also be available with right-hand drive.
\r\n\r\nA design team led by GM Designer Chip Thole designed the new Cadillac BLS show car and the premium sedan is thus immediately recognizable as a member of the Cadillac family. "The most striking feature is the emphasis of the vertical lines on the front and rear," says Thole. "The characteristic v-form of the chrome-plated grill is picked up again by the trunk lid. The large side faces communicate a sense of strength and solidity." Nineteen-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels underline the impressive looks of the show car.
\r\n\r\nThe unique style is further expressed by clear glass, vertically positioned headlamps featuring bi-xenon technology, fog lamps integrated into the body-colored bumper and a wide air intake below the radiator grill. Another high-quality detail is the thin chrome strip running along the lower edge of the side windows. The very latest LED technology is used in the full width center high mounted brake light, which is prominently positioned on the trunk lid. The vertically positioned tail lights add to the various design elements making Cadillac BLS another uniquely designed Cadillac.
\r\n\r\nInside, the show car has many details that signal its affinity to the Cadillac family. The cockpit of Cadillac BLS is underlined by details like the three-spoke steering wheel and the analog clock on the center console. The displays for the circular instruments have white numerals on black background, while the needles are red. All the seat surfaces are covered with high quality leather, with the visible stitching emphasizing quality. The outlets for the ventilation/air conditioning adopt the brushed aluminum look used for the frame of the center console.
\r\n\r\nThe modern infotainment system consists of high-quality audio units from BOSE, DVD-based navigation with touchscreen operation, Bluetooth-capable telephone systems and remote controls on the steering wheel.
\r\n\r\nTo comply with the needs of the European market, a turbo diesel variant will, for the first time, be added to the list of available engines. The 1.9-liter four-cylinder unit with common-rail direct injection technology will feature a maintenance-free diesel particulate filter that will comply with Euro 4 emission standards. The range of gasoline engines - all of which are turbo-charged - will comprise two 2.0-liter four-cylinder versions and one 2.8-liter six-cylinder unit. All the power units can be combined with either manual or automatic transmissions and all excel with Cadillac''s typical high output.
\r\n\r\nThe chassis, with a McPherson strut in front and a four-link rear axle is tuned to the powerful engines and the high demands that are made on a premium vehicle. "The development of the chassis was focused to enable dynamic driving, but at the same time ensuring a ride with comfort," explains Larry Craig, who, as Program Engineering Manager, shared responsibility for the engineering of the Cadillac BLS.
\r\n\r\n"Apart from that, we also devoted attention to achieving effective noise and vibration isolation," adds Craig. "Environmental influences are, as far as possible, kept away from the passengers." A number of measures have been taken to achieve this, and both the diesel and the gasoline engines will reap the benefits. The rear axle and the chassis, for example, are decoupled from one another with the aid of special rubber bushings, and the wheelhouses, roof and trunk are especially sound-insulated.

\r\n\r\nFor 2006, the automatic transmission gains Driver Shift Control, and cashmere is a new interior color choice. A new XM NavTraffic system, included with the optional DVD navigation system, provides continuously updated traffic information in select cities. Sport Appearance and Sport Performance Packages include 18-inch wheels.
\r\n\r\nLaunched as an early 2003 model, the CTS was built on a new Sigma rear-wheel-drive platform and featured square-edge styling. Suspension revisions and interior changes for 2004 were intended to soften the ride and reduce noise.
\r\n\r\nStyling themes for the CTS are rooted in Cadillac''s Evoq concept car. Cadillac touted the CTS as "the first 100 percent application of Cadillac''s art and science approach to passenger-car design."
\r\n\r\nCadillac has described the CTS body as lean, bold and chiseled, incorporating "sharp edges and crisp intersecting lines" and a short front overhang. Measuring 190.1 inches long overall, the CTS rides a 113.4-inch wheelbase. Integrated, traditionally styled vertical headlights and taillights are installed. The large, shield-shaped, louvered eggcrate grille is reminiscent of Cadillacs dating back to the 1930s. Cadillac''s wreath-and-crest symbol is incorporated into the grille.
\r\n\r\nCast-aluminum wheels hold 16-inch tires. An optional Sport Package includes Cadillac''s StabiliTrak electronic stability system, a sport-tuned suspension, a load-leveling rear suspension and 17-inch wheels. The Sport Performance Package includes 18-inch wheels, revised suspension tuning, xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights, StabiliTrak and a tire-pressure monitor.
\r\n\r\nFive people fit inside the CTS sedan. Wood is used only in areas where it will come in contact with occupants: on the three-spoke steering wheel, gearshift knob and door pulls. The seats have leather seating surfaces, and heated front seats are optional. General Motors'' OnStar communication system is standard. Trunk capacity measures 12.8 cubic feet.
\r\n\r\nCadillac''s 3.6-liter V-6 produces 255 hp, and the 2.8-liter V-6 generates 210 hp. Both engines work with an Aisin six-speed-manual transmission or an optional five-speed automatic. A button for the automatic allows drivers to select Sport, Winter or Economy mode, and engine braking occurs in all five gears.
\r\n\r\nSix airbags are installed: dual-stage front airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags and roof-mounted side curtain-type airbags. Antilock brakes and all-speed traction control are standard.
\r\n\r\nControversial CTS styling might be considered either alluring or alarming, but there''s less to argue about when it comes to this car''s excellent driving characteristics. An excellent, quick-shifting automatic transmission assists subtle yet bountiful performance.
\r\n\r\nFor the most part, drivers can expect the feel of a European sport sedan, but the CTS isn''t quite as refined as an Audi or BMW. Still, the CTS is exceptionally stable on the road and easy to drive around town. Steering response is on the sporty side, too.
\r\n\r\nThe controls are somewhat unorthodox, but the driver''s seat is especially comfortable and adequately supportive. Headroom, elbowroom and leg space are abundant up front.

\r\n\r\nIntroduced at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, the new DTS is offered with a single-model strategy. That means one exterior and one interior, with multiple option packages available.
\r\n\r\nSix airbags are installed, and one of two Northstar V-8s powers the DTS. Sales are expected to begin in fall 2005.
\r\n\r\nStyling of the DTS is "more architectural and linear," said Gary Cowger, former president of General Motors North America, during its initial appearance. The new model''s styling evokes Cadillac''s STS sedan.
\r\n\r\nLed by a new eggcrate grille with central wreath-and-crest badging and fresh front-end sheet metal, the DTS features vertical xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights and LED taillamps. Rear quarter panels and the deck lid are new.
\r\n\r\nAvailable technologies include a four-channel StabiliTrak electronic stability system with brake assist, as well as Magnetic Ride Control. Either 17- or 18-inch tires can be mounted on the car. Riding a 115.6-inch wheelbase, the DTS sedan is 207.6 inches long overall and 74.8 inches wide.
\r\n\r\nThe DTS can hold either five or six occupants, with a choice of front bucket seats or a front bench. Compared with the DeVille, the instrument panel has been lowered and moved forward. A new analog clock is installed, and genuine burl wood trim is available.
\r\n\r\nTri-zone climate control is standard. Available features include heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, Adaptive Remote Start (with a personalization provision), power folding mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and heated windshield-washer fluid. Front and rear ultrasonic parking assistance, IntelliBeam automatic high-beam headlights, an in-dash six-CD changer with MP3 capability and adaptive cruise control also are available. Additional features include XM Satellite Radio, a DVD-based navigation system and GM''s OnStar communication system.
\r\n\r\nCadillac''s 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 comes in a choice of two configurations in the DTS. The L37 edition produces an estimated 291 horsepower at 5,600 rpm, while the LD8 is rated at 275 hp at 5,200 rpm. The L37 is designed to rev higher, while the LD8 emphasizes quick launches and has greater peak torque. Both engines work with a four-speed-automatic transmission.

\r\n\r\nWhen it was unveiled for 2002, the Escalade was the first production model to display Cadillac''s art and science design theme, which features sharp angular edges, inside and out. Cadillac refers to the look as the Escalade''s "sheer, chiseled shapes."
\r\n\r\nSquared-off xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights complement the front end, which flaunts a vertical eggcrate grille. Cadillac''s wreath-and-crest insignia decorates the grille and liftgate. Escalades ride a 116-inch wheelbase, stand 74.2 inches tall and measure 198.9 inches long overall. Seven-spoke cast-aluminum wheels hold 17-inch tires. A glass sunroof is optional.
\r\n\r\nSeven people fit inside the Escalade. When fitted with the available second-row bench seat, seating capacity is eight. Front bucket seats have 14-way power adjustment, and the first- and second-row seats are heated. The third row contains a 50/50-split bench seat.
\r\n\r\nPower-adjustable brake and gas pedals include a memory function. A Bulgari-designed analog clock sits on the console.
\r\n\r\nThe nine-speaker Bose stereo system includes an in-dash six-CD changer. Touching a button folds the side mirrors close to the body to squeeze through tight spots. Cadillac said its OnStar communication system''s hands-free capability was improved for 2005.
\r\n\r\nAll Escalades use a 345-hp, 6.0-liter V-8 that produces 380 pounds-feet of torque and drives a four-speed-automatic transmission. Rear- and all-wheel-drive models are available, and a weight-distributing trailer hitch is included. The rear-drive model can tow up to 7,400 pounds, while all-wheel-drive Escalades can tow as much as 8,100 pounds.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes, all-speed traction control, side-impact airbags for the front seats, a front passenger-sensing system and General Motors'' StabiliTrak electronic stability system are standard. A rear parking assist function warns of obstacles to the rear while the vehicle is backing up.
\r\n\r\nThe Escalade is awfully large for maneuvering through city streets, and although the soft ride may be appealing, it compromises stability. On the plus side, you get plenty of V-8 acceleration and a lot of interior space. Still, you''ll pay a hefty premium at the gas pump. Climbing aboard isn''t so easy for everyone, either.

\r\n\r\nAt the heart of the STS-V is a new, 4.4-liter version of the Northstar engine outfitted with a positive displacement intercooled supercharger. The dual overhead cam (DOHC) V-8 engine delivers the highest horsepower rating of any production Cadillac engine to date.
\r\n\r\nCalled the Northstar V-8 SC (supercharged), the engine produces 440 horsepower (328 kW) at 6400 rpm and 430 lb.-ft. (583 Nm) of torque at 3600 rpm (power and torque figures estimated) – and the engine’s power is underscored by its ability to deliver 90 percent of its peak torque between 2200 and 6000 rpm. Vehicle redline is 6700 rpm.
\r\n\r\nThe Northstar V-8 SC generates 120 horsepower (90kW) and 115 lb.-ft. (156 Nm) of torque more than its naturally aspirated counterpart, while its specific output of 100-horsepower-per-liter makes it one of the world’s highest specific output production V-8 engines.
\r\n\r\nHowever, the Northstar V-8 SC used in the STS-V is more than just power and torque. The DOHC engine includes variable valve timing that enables outstanding top-end performance while maintaining the expected refinement and quality associated with a luxury marque.
\r\n\r\nThe aggressive torque curve enabled by the choice of a supercharged engine gives the STS-V acceleration capable of placing it firmly in the under-5-second-club for 0-to-60 time. The refined shift feel is enabled by careful electronic calibration of both the engine and transmission. During shifts, power is instantaneously lowered, then ramped back up carefully to make gear changes virtually unnoticeable.
\r\n\r\nThe Northstar V-8 SC is mated to the all-new Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission – the first use of GM’s new six-speed automatic. The 6L80 – the only transmission offered on the STS-V – is one of the most technologically advanced automatic transmissions in the industry, using clutch-to-clutch operation and an advanced integrated 32-bit transmission controller to deliver smooth and precise shifts.
\r\n\r\nThe 6L80 also incorporates a host of advanced driving enhancement features, including advanced Performance Algorithm Shifting (PAS) and Driver Shift Control (DSC). PAS lets the electronic transmission controller override the automatic gear selection during closed throttle high lateral acceleration maneuvers, rapidly downshifting with the release of the torque converter clutch for smooth powering up when the throttle is reopened. Driver Shift Control allows the driver to sequentially shift gears manually via the gearshift lever.
\r\n\r\nThe STS-V has been tuned for performance on virtually every road condition and environment including GM’s all-new Milford Road Course facility and the Nordschleiffe (North Course) at Nürburgring.
\r\n\r\nAs a result of this extensive development, the vehicle has track-capable acceleration, braking and cornering abilities. This is due, in part, to increased tire sizes (P255/45R18 front, P275/40R19 rear); increased brake rotor diameters, larger pad areas, and larger calipers; increased stiffness stabilizer bars and suspension springs; a faster steering ratio; and chassis tuning aimed at delivering high performance without punishing the driver.
\r\n\r\nExterior elements on the STS-V enable higher-performance capabilities; yet express the sophisticated elegance associated with the STS name.
\r\n\r\nThe interior of the STS-V reflects craftsmanship with the addition of more leather-wrapped surfaces to promote a high-quality, tactile feel and distinctive, crafted appearance.
\r\n\r\nWith three million subscribers, OnStar is the nation''s leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services using the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite network and wireless technologies. The 2006 STS-V will offer OnStar’s Gen 6.1 system. With Gen 6.1, GM OnStar subscribers can interact with OnStar''s voice recognition system in Spanish, French or English. With the push of a button an OnStar advisor can change the system to allow the subscriber to interact with the system in their preferred language. Other core OnStar services are stolen vehicle location assistance, remote door unlock, roadside assistance, emergency services and automatic crash notification.
\r\n\r\nGM is the only automotive manufacturer committed to offering a full range of vehicles with safety protection before, during and after a collision. All OnStar-equipped vehicles come with Automatic Crash Notification. If air bags deploy, the system sends a signal to a highly trained OnStar Emergency Advisor, who contacts the vehicle to see if help is needed, and can contact an emergency responder to send for help. In many cases the occupants are severely injured and cannot speak for themselves. OnStar’s GPS unit allows Advisors to tell emergency responders the vehicle’s location. OnStar responds to at least one air bag deployment in the US or Canada every hour.
\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the 2006 STS-V will offer the GM-exclusive Advanced Automatic Crash Notification system. The AACN system detects collisions, even rollovers, regardless of whether air bags deploy. AACN also transmits other crash data, such as the direction of impact force, the number of and which air bags deployed and the maximum change of impact velocity, so that emergency responders are more prepared with this critical information before they arrive at the accident scene.

Cadillac promotes the "harmonious blend of technologies and materials meant to add pleasure, not complexity, to the driving experience." A long list of technical features includes a head-up display, radar-operated adaptive cruise control and General Motors'' StabiliTrak electronic stability system.
\r\n\r\nAdaptive forward lighting, which improves nighttime illumination, is available on 2006 models. Wood treatment on the center console has been revised, and XM Satellite Radio with a hidden antenna is standard.
\r\n\r\nMagnetic Ride Control provides magnetic-fluid-based real-time damping. Keyless Access with push-button start permits true no-key operation. For safety''s sake, the engine will not start unless the remote fob is in the car and the driver is depressing the brake pedal.
\r\n\r\nCadillac says stealth fighters inspired the XLR, which serves as "a contemporary expression of Cadillac''s heritage of landmark design and advanced technology." Linear lines display hints of the marque''s history. The strong grille also suggests the past, but with a modern expression. The XLR''s vertical headlights are part of Cadillac''s current design philosophy.
\r\n\r\nThe roadster''s weight distribution is virtually 50/50, helped by the rear-mounted transmission. Cadillac says the XLR''s steel hydroformed frame rails couple with an aluminum cockpit structure and balsa-cored composite flooring to provide "rigidity without bulk." Run-flat tires eliminate the need for a spare tire.
\r\n\r\nBuilt on a 105.7-inch wheelbase, the XLR is 177.7 inches long overall. Retracting the hardtop takes less than 30 seconds. Made of aluminum and magnesium, the top structure features composite exterior panels, a heated glass back window and glass rear-quarter windows.
\r\n\r\nTwo occupants fit inside the XLR''s luxurious interior, which features eucalyptus wood and aluminum accents. The seatbacks and cushions are heated and cooled. The DVD navigation/entertainment system has a 7-inch screen in the upper center console, but the entertainment system operates only when the gear selector is in Park.
\r\n\r\nA nine-speaker Bose audio system includes an in-dash six-CD changer. XM Satellite Radio and GM''s OnStar communication system are standard. Trunk capacity is 11.6 cubic feet with the top up, but space dips to 4.4 cubic feet when the roof is retracted.
\r\n\r\nA 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 with variable valve timing produces 320 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 310 pounds-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. Premium fuel is recommended. The five-speed-automatic transmission incorporates Driver Shift Control.
\r\n\r\nSide-impact airbags are installed in the seats. The seat belts have powered pretensioners. Four-channel all-disc antilock brakes, traction control and a stability system are standard.
\r\n\r\nWith a low driving position like Chevrolet''s Corvette, the XLR is one sweet road machine. Acceleration for passing is close to stunning, and the XLR is also quick from a standstill, helped by prompt transmission responses. Ride comfort beats most sports cars by a mile, and steering is tight and impressively precise. High sills demand some twisting to get inside.

\r\n\r\nCadillac last redesigned its full-size front-drive sedan for the 2000 model year, and another redesign is due for 2006. At that time, the DeVille name will be dropped in favor of DTS, currently the name of a trim level. Cadillac''s optional Night Vision system, introduced with the 2000 redesign, is no longer available for factory ordering.
\r\n\r\nThe current DeVille is more rounded and bulky in appearance than models of the 1990s and before. Measuring 207 inches long overall, the four-door sedan rides a 115.3-inch wheelbase. GM''s StabiliTrak electronic stability system is standard on the DTS trim level and optional on the base and DHS models. The extended-length Protection Series sedan is 215.2 inches long overall on a 123.6-inch wheelbase.
\r\n\r\nA split front bench seat is standard in the base and DHS models. The DTS comes only with front bucket seats and a floor-mounted shift lever. Rear legroom is ample even when the front seats are moved all the way back. The trunk holds 19.1 cubic feet of cargo and has a low liftover for easy loading.
\r\n\r\nHeated and cooled front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard in the DHS and DTS sedans and optional in the base DeVille. GM''s OnStar communication system can be fitted with premium services. XM Satellite Radio and a navigation system are optional.
\r\n\r\nBase, DHS and Protection Series versions are equipped with Cadillac''s 275-horsepower, 4.6-liter Northstar V-8, while a 290-hp version of that engine is installed in the DTS. Both V-8s work with a four-speed-automatic transmission and can run on regular fuel, but Cadillac recommends premium gasoline for peak performance and fuel economy.
\r\n\r\nSide-impact airbags are standard for the front seats and optional for rear-seat positions. The front airbag on the passenger side also protects the middle passenger. An ultrasonic rear parking-assist system is available.
\r\n\r\nThe DeVille may be a Cadillac of the old school, but it is packed with modern technology. Strong Northstar V-8 performance blends with admirable transmission operation in the smooth-functioning powertrain. Downshifts are prompt and certain, yet smooth. The DTS practically leaps ahead from a standstill and responds almost as effectively for passing and merging. At certain speeds, the response is a little less vigorous.
\r\n\r\nThe DeVille steers with a light touch and doesn''t feel as taut as some competitors — especially import brands. But the easygoing, genteel ride also isn''t as woozy or floaty as Cadillacs of the past.
\r\n\r\nAll seats are big, relatively soft and reasonably supportive, and the instruments in the DTS are very easy to read. Engine noise is blissfully subdued and muted, and other sounds are minimal.

Cadillac''s reputation grew exponentially during the ''30s in no small part because of the development of the automotive industry''s first V-16. The Cadillac Sixteen''s grand exterior proportions create an unparalleled presence; its splendid interior is meticulously handcrafted and urbane.
\r\n\r\nGeneral Motors'' designers drew extensively on the traditions of the coachbuilt era in crafting the Cadillac Sixteen, employing the distinctive talents of leading artisans for the upholstery, instrumentation, interior wood and metal elements, and aluminum body panels.
\r\n\r\nAs an exterior statement, the Cadillac Sixteen''s proportional composition is bold. The aluminum hood is long, giving the Cadillac Sixteen tremendous dash-to-axle dimension; the wheel arches were designed to accommodate the beautiful 24-inch polished aluminum wheels. The four-door hardtop incorporates an all-glass roof and is without B-pillars. Crisp-edged lines of the midnight silver aluminum body panels accentuate the Cadillac Sixteen''s striking appearance.
\r\n\r\nEven the engine compartment, with its sculpted design, has drama. With dual panels hinged about a center spine that runs the length of the expansive hood, it makes an event out of opening the engine bay. The hood panels are power-operated.
\r\n\r\nThe interior theme is evocative of the posh accommodations of 1930s-era Cadillacs, but with contemporary style. For instance, the dashboard features a center-mounted Bvlgari clock.
\r\n\r\nThe hand-stitched, Tuscany leather upholstered seats nestle the occupants. The right rear seat features power adjustable slope to recline like a chaise lounge. Warm, hand-woven silk carpets the floor in a light cream color that matches the leather upholstery. The dash, door panels, and front and rear consoles are trimmed with walnut burl veneer inlays.
\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the custom-designed crystal on the cluster dials offers subtle cues of the Cadillac Sixteen''s precise engineering, elegance and craftsmanship.
\r\n\r\nWhile GM designers drew inspiration from the ultra-luxury sedan''s ancestry, the Cadillac Sixteen is thoroughly modern in its powerplant and technological content.
\r\n\r\nThe Cadillac Sixteen''s 32-valve V-16 concept engine displaces 13.6 liters and is mated to a four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The engine features fuel-saving Displacement on Demand technology, debuting in 2004 on some 2005 GM models, which shuts down half of the cylinders during most driving conditions and automatically and seamlessly reactivates them for more demanding conditions, such as brisk acceleration or load hauling cylinders when the driver needs the engine''s full power. The engine produces 1000 horsepower and 1000 lbs.-ft. of torque.
\r\n\r\nThe extensive use of aluminum components and structure provide substantial weight advantages. The aluminum-steel chassis employs high-arm SLA suspension up front and independent semi-trailing arm suspension in the rear. Four-wheel steering enhances the Cadillac Sixteen''s maneuverability. The front and rear brakes are six-piston calipers with 16-inch rotors.
\r\n\r\nElectronic amenities include a rear-seat DVD information system, Bose sound system, and the fifth-generation OnStar in-vehicle safety and security communication system. The head and tail lamps feature LED technology.

It shouldn''t be, but the ETC''s weight is visual and stylistic as well as physical. This car''s lines are clean and spare, but the high beltline, huge C-pillar, heavy-looking trunk box and small, bunker-like windows convey an impression of enormous mass.
\r\n\r\nAnd the closer you get, the bigger it seems. With a lengthy 108-inch wheelbase and overall length of 200.6 inches, it is the largest of the mass-market coupes, surpassed only by the recently deceased Lincoln Continental Mark VIII.
\r\n\r\nThe ETC is furnished with the full-thrust 300-horsepower Northstar V8, while the base Eldorado has a milder 275-horsepower version of the same engine. Body-colored grille and bumpers blend handsomely into the car''s form, the whole tied to together by a narrow band of chrome running the full length of the car. Our test ETC was furnished with optional chrome eight-spoke sport wheels ($795), which brighten the car''s character nicely, and optional Goodyear Eagle GA P225/60ZR16 tires ($250).
\r\n\r\nOfficially categorized as "mid-size," the ETC has class-leading volume in both the front seat and back seat, and the impression created by the enormous trunk box is no illusion. Classically Cadillac, the ETC trunk is a massive 15 cubic feet, far greater than other mid-size coupes.
\r\n\r\nThe Eldorado Touring Coupe''s interior is large, elegant, and generous in appointments. For safety, dual front de-powered airbags are standard. A beautifully sleek band of fine Zebrano wood trim encircles you from mid-door around the dashboard to mid-door. The dash is admirably simple and straightforward, with excellent analog instruments. The automatic twilight-sensing headlight system can be adjusted for sensitivity or switched off altogether.
\r\n\r\nThe steering wheel has two paddles, one that controls audio volume and station selection, the other controlling the climate control''s temperature and fan level. The wheel adjusts up and down, but does not telescope fore and aft.
\r\n\r\nA full multi-task trip computer is mounted on the dash above the console. It computes current cruising range, fuel efficiency, fuel used, average speed, elapsed time, battery voltage, percent of oil-life left -- in either English or metric figures. Next to this computer are remote controls for opening the trunk and fuel door. A fine Bose AM/FM/cassette/CD is standard on the ETC (optional in the base Eldorado) with a 12-disc remote changer in the trunk standard. The radio also has a radio data system that will display the station, search for particular kinds of stations or look for traffic bulletins. It can even interrupt tapes and CDs with emergency information.
\r\n\r\nThe heating and air conditioning system delivers readouts for both interior and exterior ambient temperature. A toggle on the lower right allows the front passenger to select separate temperature settings. Rear-seat passengers get their own climate controls as well. The ETC''s heated seats warm quickly, but we found the lowest of the two settings too hot.
\r\n\r\nFog lights are standard, as are the obligatory two front cupholders. The electric external rearview mirrors have a handy provision that adjusts them downward to the curb when Reverse is selected, aiding in parking this large car. Our test car was furnished with the standard compass in the rearview mirror and an optional overhead garage-door opener ($107).
\r\n\r\nThe Eldorado Touring Coupe''s upholstery is gorgeous, glove-quality light-cream leather. The front seats have eight-way power adjustment. Lateral support is average, but the lumbar adjustment is excellent. We found the seatback-tilt range insufficient, dictating more recline than some drivers demand.
\r\n\r\nIf the Eldorado Touring Coupe seems loaded with creature comforts, it''s absolutely jam-packed with high-tech mechanical systems and geegaws for enhancing the driving experience.
\r\n\r\nEverything begins with the ETC''s well-publicized and deservedly praised 4.6-liter Northstar V8. This engine''s 300 horsepower at 6000 rpm is matched by a brawny 295 foot-pounds of torque, though this torque comes at a fairly high 4400 rpm, rather than down low, where it would produce even heartier takeoff. The only transmission available is an excellent Hydra-matic four-speed.
\r\n\r\nThe Eldorado Touring Coupe''s 0-to-60 mph acceleration times are spirited, coming in right at 7 seconds flat. Passing maneuvers from 30 to 70 mph take only about 6.5 seconds, which is very uplifting.
\r\n\r\nThe irony is that this superb engine only underlines the fact that the Eldorado Touring Coupe is front-wheel drive. So far, nobody has worked out how to make a really powerful engine work smoothly with front-wheel drive and Cadillac is no exception. Accelerating the ETC hard from standstill, it exhibits low-speed torque-steer, meaning the engine''s torque is literally trying to pull the front wheels this way and that. It''s an unpleasant effect. And furthermore, because hard acceleration transfers weight to the rear tires, away from the front drive-wheels, the front wheels quickly lose traction and begin to spin. Then the traction control, sensing wheelspin, begins to order braking pulses at the front wheels. In a nanosecond, the ABS and the engine are in direct conflict with each other, the former trying to stop wheelspin, the latter trying to accelerate, all in a high-tech attempt to compensate for the shortcomings of a front-wheel-drive system prematurely overcome by healthy horsepower.
\r\n\r\nDriven moderately, this performance cul de sac won''t be noticed. However it is the stated purpose of the Cadillac Eldorado ETC and Seville STS to attract younger, sportier buyers. They''re going to notice. Sophisticated traction control systems have eliminated many of the downsides of a rear-wheel-drive platform. We''d like this big Cadillac much better if it was rear-wheel drive.
\r\n\r\nBesides ABS and traction control, three other systems are standard in the Eldorado Touring Coupe -- Magnasteer variable assist steering, CVRSS continuously variable road-sensing suspension and StabiliTrak stability control. (On the base Eldorado, CVRSS is unavailable and StabiliTrak is optional.)
\r\n\r\nStabiliTrak uses yaw and lateral-acceleration sensors in conjunction with the suspension, steering and ABS to detect oversteer (fishtailing) or understeer (front-end washout). Immediately upon sensing either of these conditions, StabiliTrak applies braking to the one wheel that can help to regain stability. Various top-line builders are using these systems now and, presuming the laws of physics haven''t been too grievously violated by the driver, they really work.
\r\n\r\nThe CVRSS suspension is an advanced system that reads the road surface''s roughness and on rougher surfaces automatically adjusts the shock damping rate of each individual wheel. The result is reduced impact harshness, a smoother ride and more sustained contact with the road during extreme emergency maneuvers.
\r\n\r\nMagnasteer actively varies the amount of power-assist given the steering, more at low speeds to decrease steering effort, with increasingly less at higher speeds, where increased steering effort has a steadying effect.

While the changes in the body and chassis of the second-generation Le Mans Prototype are apparent, the modifications to the heavily revised powertrain are virtually invisible.
\r\n\r\nPower for the new Cadillac LMP will come from an updated version of the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter Northstar V8 racing engine. A revised induction system and redesigned cylinder heads will complement the 180-degree crankshaft and upgraded engine management system that were introduced in 2001. The engine has close ties to the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engines used by Opel in the German Touring Car Masters (DTM) road racing series and to the methanol-burning naturally aspirated 3.5-liter Chevy Indy V8 engine that is being introduced in the Indy Racing League (IRL) oval-track series in 2002.
\r\n\r\nThe Northstar LMP engine is paired with a new six-speed sequential gearbox in 2002. Paddles mounted on the steering wheel activate gear changes through a pneumatic shifting mechanism.
\r\n\r\nDesigned under the direction of GM Racing by Nigel Stroud, the Cadillac LMP''s carbon fiber monocoque chassis and suspension components were fabricated in Brackley, England, and assembled at the team''s headquarters near Atlanta. An extensive testing program is planned leading up the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 15-16, 2002. The Cadillac LMP 02 will also compete in selected American Le Mans Series events in North America.
\r\n\r\nThe Cadillac LMP 02''s high nose directs airflow under the car while respecting the LMP rules that require a flat bottom between the front and rear wheels. This flat surface can, however, generate significant downforce through ground effect - the interaction between the moving vehicle and the fixed track surface. By shortening the wheelbase, undesirable changes in the vehicle''s attitude are minimized, allowing the flat bottom to maintain a positive rake angle and produce consistent aero loads. Wind tunnel tests have demonstrated substantial improvements in both lift and drag over the first-generation LMP 01.

Available with two- or four-wheel drive, Suburbans are built on the company''s full-size Silverado pickup truck platform, which is also used for the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs. Suburbans come in half-ton (1500) and three-quarter-ton (2500) capacity ratings.
\r\n\r\nAn LTZ model with a 6.0-liter V-8, all-wheel drive, a Z55 suspension and 20-inch wheels joins the 2006 Suburban lineup. Essentially an offshoot of the LT trim level, the LTZ features a revised chrome-bar grille, monochromatic bumpers, chrome assist steps and leather seating surfaces.
\r\n\r\nAdditionally, a tire-pressure-monitoring system is now standard on all Suburbans, and catalytic converters on 1500 models have been relocated.
\r\n\r\nQuadrasteer four-wheel steering is no longer available on 2006 models. General Motors'' StabiliTrak electronic stability system is offered on half-ton Suburbans equipped with the 5.3-liter V-8.
\r\n\r\nChevrolet describes the Suburban as the "right size," claiming it can fit inside average-size garages. Equipped with four side doors, it rides a 130-inch wheelbase and measures 219.3 inches long overall. A rear liftgate with flip-up glass is now standard on all models, and side-sill assist steps were redesigned for 2005. A larger power camper mirror is available on 2500 models.
\r\n\r\nWith its standard trio of three-place bench seats, the Suburban can accommodate as many as nine people. Optional seating arrangements include twin bucket seats for the front and middle rows. The middle and rear bench seats fold down and are removable.
\r\n\r\nWith the middle and rear seats removed, cargo volume expands to 131.6 cubic feet, which is enough to carry a 4-by-8-foot plywood sheet. Space behind the third row totals 45.7 cubic feet. Power-adjustable pedals are standard in LT and LTZ models. XM Satellite Radio and a backseat DVD entertainment system are available.
\r\n\r\nThe sole engine in the light-duty Suburban 1500 is a 295-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8; this flexible-fuel engine can run on up to 85 percent ethanol. A 335-hp, 6.0-liter V-8 is standard in the 2500 and new LTZ, and a 325-hp, 8.1-liter V-8 that produces 447 pounds-feet of torque is optional. All engines team with a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nSuburbans can have rear-wheel drive or Autotrac four-wheel drive, which engages automatically to maintain traction. Suburban 2500 models with two-wheel drive can tow as much as 12,000 pounds.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes are standard, and side-impact airbags for front occupants are available.
\r\n\r\nObviously, not every SUV buyer needs this sort of passenger and cargo space. Despite its size, this SUV handles with reasonable ease and doesn''t feel much like a behemoth. The trucklike drone is minor. Acceleration is sufficiently swift from a standstill and for passing, but the reaction of the automatic transmission can be a tad slow.
\r\n\r\nSteering has a rather light feel, and the Suburban stays neatly on course. Sudden moves aren''t a good idea, and around-town maneuverability has its limitations.

Manufactured in Mexico, the Avalanche features Chevrolet''s Convert-a-Cab system. Whenever more space for hauling cargo is needed, folding the rear seat and lowering the midgate extends the pickup bed. The rear window can be removed at any time for open-air driving.
\r\n\r\nA tire-pressure-monitoring system joins the standard-equipment list for 2006. A 5.3-liter V-8 powers the half-ton 1500 series, while the 2500 series uses an 8.1-liter V-8. Hydroboost brakes, which are standard on the 1500, provide enhanced reserve power assist. General Motors'' StabiliTrak electronic stability system is available.
\r\n\r\nBased on Chevrolet''s Silverado full-size pickup truck and Suburban SUV, the Avalanche has four full-size doors. Styling features include a massive front bumper and gray lower-body cladding. The rear bumper incorporates steps for easier access to the 5-foot-3-inch cargo box. The Avalanche 1500 can be optioned without body cladding or the bumper steps.
\r\n\r\nWhen a configuration change is needed, the rear seat folds and the midgate lowers to expand the cargo area by 34.6 inches. Locking cargo-box storage compartments are fitted with drains.
\r\n\r\nMeasuring 221.7 inches long overall, 73.6 inches tall and 79.8 inches wide on a 130-inch wheelbase, the Avalanche 1500 has an 8.6-inch ground clearance with standard 16-inch tires; 17-inchers are available.
\r\n\r\nThe Avalanche can hold as many as six occupants when properly equipped. The front section can have two bucket seats or a three-place 40/20/40-split bench seat. A three-passenger 60/40-split, folding bench seat goes in back. XM Satellite Radio and a DVD-based entertainment system are optional.
\r\n\r\nAvailable with rear- or four-wheel drive, the Avalanche 1500 holds a 295-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 that generates 335 pounds-feet of torque. The four-speed-automatic transmission has a tow/haul mode. Autotrac four-wheel drive automatically distributes power to the front and rear wheels to maintain traction. The Avalanche 2500 packs a 325-hp, 8.1-liter V-8 that yields 447 pounds-feet of torque.
\r\n\r\nA rear-drive Avalanche 1500 can tow up to 8,200 pounds when properly equipped. Maximum towing capacity for the 2500 series is 12,000 pounds.
\r\n\r\nAll-disc antilock brakes are standard, and side-impact airbags are optional. LATCH child-safety seat anchors are installed in the rear.
\r\n\r\nAn Avalanche rides more smoothly than expected, at least on relatively unblemished pavement. The firm suspension absorbs a fair amount of road imperfections.
\r\n\r\nEven though the Avalanche looks immense, it seems considerably less gargantuan when you''re inside. Steering and braking feel unusually light. The Avalanche is easy to maneuver in the city and feels controlled on the highway.
\r\n\r\nPassing performance is fairly exuberant. Other than momentary hesitation after downshifting, the automatic transmission produces no unpleasant surprises. The Avalanche suffers only a little road noise, and comfortable seats deliver great thigh support.

\r\n\r\nAll Aveos are mounted on a 97.6-inch wheelbase and ride on standard 14-inch tires. Five-spoke, 15-inch aluminum wheels are standard on 2006 LT models.
\r\n\r\nAveos are capable of carrying five people. Backseat space is limited for taller occupants, but it''s relatively spacious considering the car''s small size. Both body styles have folding rear seats for greater cargo-carrying capacity. The backseat bottom in hatchback models can be flipped forward after the seatback has been folded flat, yielding 42 cubic feet of cargo space. The four-door sedan has a 60/40-split, folding rear seat.
\r\n\r\nStandard features include a tilt steering wheel and rear-window defogger. Air conditioning is installed in LS editions.
\r\n\r\nUpscale LT models feature a CD/MP3 player, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry and heated mirrors.
\r\n\r\nA dual-overhead-cam 1.6-liter four-cylinder produces 103 horsepower and 107 pounds-feet of torque; it teams with a standard five-speed-manual gearbox or an optional four-speed automatic. A gated portion of the automatic''s shifter permits driver control of gear changes. A "hold control" button lets the driver change gears by moving through the gated shifter, which can be helpful on slippery surfaces.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution are optional, and seat-mounted side-impact airbags for front occupants are now standard. Front occupants get seat belt pretensioners and height-adjustable shoulder belt anchors. Daytime running lights are standard.
\r\n\r\nFrisky in terms of maneuverability and manual-shifting ease, the Aveo is short on power and ranks as ordinary overall. The engine must be pushed really hard to get adequate response in each gear. The car tracks reasonably well at highway speeds, but regular correction is needed. Despite appealing prices and fuel frugality, Aveos are somewhat old-fashioned and hard to recommend over contemporary Asian brands.

\r\n\r\nThe Camaro Concept embodies the performance and passion that have made first-generation Camaros some of the most sought-after collector cars, updating the formula with a fuel-efficient powertrain, sophisticated chassis and contemporary design execution. The goal is to make the sport coupe relevant to younger enthusiasts while retaining its appeal to its current fans.
\r\n\r\n“Millions of people of all ages fell in love with the Camaro for all of the right reasons,” said Ed Welburn, GM vice president, global design. “Camaros were beautiful to look at and offered performance that could rival expensive European GTs. Yet they were practical enough to drive every day and priced within the reach of many new car buyers.”
\r\n\r\nThough only a show car at this point, the Camaro Concept is intended to explore customer reaction to design and engineering elements that might lead to an all-new version of the Camaro.
\r\n\r\nThe long hood, short deck and wide stance of the Camaro Concept leave no doubt that it is a serious performance car. Those looks are backed up by a 400-horsepower aluminum small-bock V-8, a six-speed manual transmission, and a sophisticated chassis with four-wheel independent suspension.
\r\n\r\nLike its forebears, the Camaro Concept would be practical enough for everyday use. It features fuel-saving features like Active Fuel Management™ cylinder deactivation technology, yielding highway fuel economy of 30 mpg or better. Its overall size is a comfortable fit for city streets and suburban parking lots, and its back seat provides occasional seating for two adults.
\r\n\r\nBecause of Camaro’s powerful heritage, the GM Design team chose a theme that pays homage to the original Camaro, while being instantly recognizable as an all-new car.
\r\n\r\nSaid Bob Boniface, director of the Warren Advanced Design Studio, “The fact that the Camaro has been out of production for a number of years made it particularly important that the Camaro Concept honors the Camaro heritage in the right way.”
\r\n\r\nThe 1969 Camaro, considered by many to be the best first-generation design, was a significant inspiration. But as GM design teams in Warren, Mich., worked on alternatives for the Camaro Concept, they also turned to the latest Corvette and to aircraft like the YF-22, seeking a design that encompasses the spirit that made the 1969 Camaro great, but interprets that spirit in a fresh, exciting way.
\r\n\r\n“The overall proportions, long hood and powerful fender forms say, ‘This is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive performance vehicle,’ ” said Tom Peters, design director, rear-wheel drive performance cars. The prominent front grille and hood bulge hint at the power of the Corvette-inspired V-8 engine. Large wheels and tires, exposed high-performance brakes and prominent fender shapes signal that the Camaro Concept has the handling and braking to go with the powertrain.
\r\n\r\nThe cockpit of the Camaro nestles between sharply defined fender forms, a design element inspired by fighter planes and the new Corvette. And like any high-performance vehicle, the clean, purposeful design is integral to the aesthetic. “The Camaro Concept isn’t just a styled shape,” said Peters. “The design incorporates what the vehicle needs to perform to its optimum level.”
\r\n\r\nThe same purposeful design is reflected in the interior of the Camaro Concept. The gauges and splash of orange trim hint at classic first-generation Camaros, but the overall design and execution reflect the no-nonsense functionality that drivers expect from a high-performance Chevrolet sports car.
\r\n\r\nThe Camaro Concept features the latest generation of GM’s legendary small-block V-8. The 6.0-liter LS2 engine features an aluminum block and heads for light weight, and Active Fuel Management™, which shuts off four cylinders to save fuel when the engine is lightly loaded. This concept version of the LS2 is rated at 400 horsepower, yet it could also deliver more than 30 mpg at highway speeds.
\r\n\r\nThe Camaro Concept’s six-speed manual transmission provides a wide spread of ratios for aggressive acceleration off the line, confident passing and merging and efficient highway cruising.
\r\n\r\nModern sports cars are about more than just straight-line speed, so the Camaro Concept features a sophisticated rear-wheel drive chassis. Its independent front and rear suspension features progressive-rate springs and gas-pressurized dampers. Four-wheel vented disc brakes with 14-inch rotors provide confident stopping under all conditions.
\r\n\r\nEnhancing both the performance and appearance of the Camaro Concept are unique five-spoke cast alloy wheels, 21 inches in the front and 22 inches in the rear.

Distinct interiors and wheels help in differentiating the models. Both new offerings for 2006, the basic SS coupe and sedan get 17-inch wheels, an FE3 performance suspension and a 171-hp 2.4-liter engine with variable valve timing.

\r\n\r\nStandard equipment includes air conditioning, an electric rear defogger, a tilt steering column, a driver information center and a CD player. Heated leather seats, XM Satellite Radio, MP3 playback capability and GM''s OnStar communication system are optional.
\r\n\r\nLS, LT and LTZ models use a 2.2-liter four-cylinder that produces 145 hp. A supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the SS Supercharged coupe develops 205 hp and 200 pounds-feet of torque. In between, SS models hold a new 171-hp 2.4-liter engine.
\r\n\r\nNormally aspirated engines can team with either a Getrag five-speed-manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic. The SS Supercharged coupe comes only with a five-speed manual.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes are standard on LT, LTZ and SS models and optional[d1] on LS models. Cobalts with the automatic gearbox and ABS also have traction control. Side curtain-type airbags are optional.
\r\n\r\nApart from several imperfections, the Cobalt is a cut above the small-car norm, offering good front passenger space and reasonably spirited performance, even with an automatic transmission. The Cobalt is agile around town and stable enough on the highway, but you must pay attention to remain on course. The ride is surprisingly good, with only the more notable bumps and holes causing trouble.
\r\n\r\nBackseat space is awful, with marginal headroom and virtually no legroom unless the front seat is well forward. Getting in and out is a battle. When accelerating even a bit, the exhaust bleats like a little foghorn. The handbrake is in an awkward position when the center armrest is down.

Both a Z71 offroad performance suspension and a ZQ8 low-riding sport suspension are available. Two trim levels are offered: LS and step-up LT. The Xtreme edition includes the ZQ8 suspension, a unique body-colored front fascia with fog lamps, rocker extension moldings and monochromatic paint in a choice of four colors.
\r\n\r\nFor the 2006 model year, a Sun & Sound Package with a sunroof and in-dash six-CD changer is available for the LT edition. Upgraded cloth upholstery goes into the LT and onto seatbacks of Crew Cab models. A Street Pack option adds a color-keyed appearance to base, regular-length extended-cab models.
\r\n\r\nThe Colorado''s styling has been called aerodynamic, angular and athletic. The Colorado has an independent front suspension and a solid rear axle.
\r\n\r\nRegular-cab trucks are 192.8 inches long overall on a 111.2-inch wheelbase, while extended- and Crew-Cab models measure about 207 inches long on a 125.9-inch span. Standard steel wheels measure 15 inches in diameter, but aluminum wheels are available. The ZQ8 package includes 17-inch tires, and 18-inch tires are mounted on models with the Xtreme option. Hydraulically assisted rack-and-pinion steering is installed.
\r\n\r\nChevrolet says the Colorado''s interior looks and feels more like a well-appointed full-size pickup than the down-market compact that it is. Extended-cab models have four doors and forward-facing rear seats. Crew-Cab models have a 60/40-split, folding rear seat that holds three adults. Regular-cab trucks feature a 60/40-split bench seat upholstered in cloth or leather, and bucket seats are available.
\r\n\r\nOptions include remote keyless entry, heated leather seating, General Motors'' OnStar communication system and XM Satellite Radio.
\r\n\r\nThe dual-overhead-cam Vortec 2.8-liter inline-four-cylinder yields 175 horsepower and 185 pounds-feet of torque, while the 3.5-liter inline-five generates 220 hp and 225 pounds-feet of torque. Both engines use electronic throttle control.
\r\n\r\nEither engine can drive a five-speed-manual gearbox or a four-speed-automatic transmission. Chevrolet''s shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive system operates with a dashboard-mounted switch. A locking differential is optional, and rear-drive models can be equipped with traction control.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes with tandem power boosters, dual-piston front discs and rear drums are standard. Dual-stage front-impact airbags are standard, and roof-rail side curtain-type airbags are optional.
\r\n\r\nMore refined than Chevrolet''s old, moderately smaller S-10, the Colorado combines satisfying performance and appropriate handling skills with a pleasantly roomy cockpit. Performance with the five-cylinder engine is sufficiently energetic, and it''s helped by exceptionally good automatic-transmission behavior. You can expect quite a bit of bouncing on rougher surfaces, but the suspension is otherwise well controlled.
\r\n\r\nDrawbacks include a somewhat stiff ride and a slightly noisy engine, but the Colorado provides an appealing compromise between full-size and compact trucks. Some interior details are a bit rough, but the Colorado is solid overall. The seats are barely bolstered and have modest back support, but headroom is abundant and elbow space is ample. Legroom is minimal in the back of the Crew-Cab version, and headroom is tight. The backseat headrests significantly impair rear visibility.

Chevrolet predicts that 100 mph will arrive before the eight-second mark, and that the Z06 will cover the quarter-mile in little more than 11 seconds on the way to a top speed that exceeds 190 mph. A dry-sump oiling system ensures vital fluid flow even at cornering forces exceeding 1 g.
\r\n\r\nChevrolet used a hydroformed, all-aluminum chassis combined with magnesium bits and carbon fiber pieces to keep the weight off. For example, the Z06''s front fenders are carbon fiber, as are portions of the balsa wood sandwich floor panels. The new Z06 comes as a coupe only, with the standard removable roof panel permanently affixed for improved structural rigidity.
\r\n\r\nGoodyear Eagle F1 Supercar run-flat tires are two inches wider in back at 325/30ZR19, tucked beneath quarter panels flared an extra 1.5 inches so that they''ll fit. The Z06''s butt is three inches wider than standard, an undesirable attribute on American bodies but a damn sexy feature on this American sports car. Helping the tires to keep the Z06''s power from overwhelming its driver are Sachs monotube shock absorbers that replace the standard Corvette''s available Magnetic Ride Control Suspension dampers, stiffer springs, and heavier duty struts. Red-painted, six-piston brake calipers clamp down on cross-drilled 14-inch front and 13.4-inch rear rotors to scrub speed.
\r\n\r\nStyling differences include a revised front fascia with a larger air inlet and a functional hood scoop, new side vents, a rear lip spoiler that increased downforce at speed, and unique wheels. Inside, the Z06 loses its power passenger''s seat and the electric seat bolsters to save weight, but still comes standard with dual-zone air conditioning, two-tone leather upholstery, and a head-up display. Options that add price and poundage include a Bose stereo, side-impact airbags, a navigation system, and other goodies. Polished wheels are also available at extra cost.

\r\n\r\nCalled "the most aerodynamically efficient Corvette ever" by Chevrolet, the current coupe has a 0.286 coefficient of drag. Chief engineer Dave Hill said it''s also "more competition-influenced."
\r\n\r\nA six-speed-automatic transmission that operates via paddle shifters and a new three-spoke steering wheel are available on 2006 models. The new transmission incorporates two electronically controlled automatic modes: Drive and Sport. Dual-stage frontal airbags incorporate passenger-sensing technology.
\r\n\r\nFor 2006, Chevrolet is launching a high-performance Z06 coupe that unleashes a 505-horsepower V-8 engine.
\r\n\r\nMany familiar styling cues highlight the latest Corvette, but the current generation is the first one since 1962 with fixed headlights. Xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights are standard. Round taillights and integrated exhaust tips appear at the rear. A center bulge on the forward-hinged hood radiates outward. A tapered rear deck is claimed to improve high-speed performance.
\r\n\r\nComposite body panels sit atop a hydroformed steel frame with aluminum and magnesium components. The independent suspension uses transverse leaf springs. An optional Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension features magneto-rheological dampers that detect road surfaces. Goodyear Eagle extended-mobility tires are used: P245/40ZR18 up front and P285/35ZR19 at the rear.
\r\n\r\nRather than conventional door handles, the Corvette features General Motors'' Keyless Access, which unlocks the doors and allows the engine to be started when a key fob.
\r\n\r\nIn this two-seater, the dashboard carries on the Corvette''s dual-cockpit theme with a two-tone split. The gauges use white LED technology, which makes them backlit day and night.
\r\n\r\nA CD player with MP3 capability is standard, but the optional Bose system includes an in-dash six-CD changer. XM Satellite Radio is available. Cargo volume beneath the hatchback lid is 22 cubic feet. Convertibles hold 11 cubic feet, but capacity drops to 5 cubic feet with the top down. A power-operated top, GM''s OnStar communication system and a navigation system are optional.
\r\n\r\nThe 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 generates 400 hp at 6,000 rpm and 400 pounds-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. A six-speed-manual gearbox is standard, and a paddle-shifted six-speed automatic is optional. The optional Z51 Performance Package includes a six-speed manual for quicker acceleration.
\r\n\r\nAll-disc antilock brakes are standard. A sport seat option includes side-impact airbags.
\r\n\r\nCorvette owners expect energizing performance, and that''s what they get in the 400-hp model. The manual transmission is somewhat notchy, but it produces positive gear changes.
\r\n\r\nHandling and steering vary according to the suspension. One Corvette with the standard setup actually had a rather heavy steering feel. The Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension felt lighter and more secure. Ride comfort isn''t bad on good pavement.
\r\n\r\nCorvettes with the Z51 Performance Package are noticeably stiff-legged, but they produce the greatest level of confidence. Occupants feel bumps more distinctly, but there''s not a great difference from regular models.
\r\n\r\nCorvettes cope surprisingly well on wet pavement, as long as caution is taken. Visibility isn''t a major problem in the coupe, but it''s more restricted in the convertible. Engine noise and vibration while idling on some models can be disturbing to people with sensitive ears, but the power plant quiets down while cruising.

\r\n\r\nA body-colored front fascia is installed on the LS edition for 2006, while the LT model gains body-colored mirrors. Rear headrests are smaller in 2006 to improve visibility. The rear cargo panel will be removed midyear to boost cargo space.
\r\n\r\nChevrolet says the Equinox takes a fresh, memorable approach to SUV design, aimed at many types of customers. The Equinox rides a 112.5-inch wheelbase and features a wide stance: 71.4 inches overall, with a 61.6-inch front track width.
\r\n\r\nThe Equinox stands 67 inches tall and measures 188.8 inches long overall. The unitized body incorporates full-length frame rails and a safety cage. Coil springs are used in the independent rear suspension. A power moonroof is offered. Standard wheels measure 16 inches in diameter, but 17-inch tires on alloy wheels are optional.
\r\n\r\nMulti-Flex rear seating promises flexibility for passengers and cargo; the split, folding rear seat slides nearly 8 inches. Combined with the flat-folding front passenger seat, the Equinox can carry extra-long cargo. A height-adjustable cargo shelf with plastic on one side and carpeting on the other serves as both a security cover and a picnic table. The front console contains hidden storage compartments, and integrated storage bins are installed in the rear.
\r\n\r\nGeneral Motors'' OnStar communication system, an in-dash six-CD changer, an MP3-capable single-CD player, XM Satellite Radio, heated front seats and leather-trimmed upholstery are optional.
\r\n\r\nChevrolet''s 3.4-liter V-6 produces 185 horsepower and 210 pounds-feet of torque and drives a five-speed-automatic transmission. When equipped with an optional towing package, the Equinox can haul up to 3,500 pounds. Optional on-demand all-wheel drive delivers power to the front wheels during normal conditions but sends power to the rear wheels if front-wheel slippage is detected. Traction control is included on front-drive models with antilock brakes.
\r\n\r\nAntilock operation for the front-disc/rear-drum braking system is standard. Roof-rail curtain-type airbags are available. Daytime running lights are standard.
\r\n\r\nEven though the Equinox looks nicer than some SUVs, it''s ordinary overall. The Equinox''s two-tone interior is somewhat inviting but a little cheap looking. Small annoyances abound, too, including a parking brake lever that''s not in a handy position.
\r\n\r\nForward visibility is excellent due to a very low cowl, but large pillars and a headrest mar the over-right-shoulder view. The gauges are large, but the speedometer isn''t easy to read. The radio is complicated. The seat bottoms are short, and the backseat isn''t especially comfortable. The center spot is actually more pleasing by offering abundant leg space and good headroom.
\r\n\r\nPerformance is simply satisfactory, though the automatic transmission is capable. Steering is imprecise and unsure, though the ride is relatively soft and cushiony.

\r\n\r\nA new family of V-6 engines features cam phasing for improved performance and economy. Base models use a new 3.5-liter V-6 that develops 210 horsepower. Uplevel versions get a 240-hp, 3.9-liter V-6. SS sedans hold a new LS4 5.3-liter V-8 that features Displacement On Demand technology, which switches between four- and eight-cylinder modes. This system promises fuel-economy improvements of up to 12 percent, according to Chevrolet. The SS''s V-8 produces 303 hp and 323 pounds-feet of torque.
\r\n\r\nImpalas compete against the Ford Five Hundred, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. The Impala nameplate dates back to 1958, when it was the top-end member of Chevrolet''s full-size car lineup.
\r\n\r\nLarge headlights contain three independent lighting units, and Impalas have grab-style door handles. New flat-blade wipers provide consistent pressure against the glass.
\r\n\r\nSS sedans exhibit a distinct front-end look, led by a dual-split grille that contains a black-diamond crosshatch pattern. Corvette-inspired bright exhaust outlets are installed on SS models. A rear spoiler is standard on the LTZ and SS and optional on the LT.
\r\n\r\nThe base Impala has an FE1 suspension with constant-rate front springs and variable-rate rear springs. The Impala SS gets an FE3 suspension with 18-inch tires. The base Impala now uses the same steering ratio as uplevel models. Built on a 110.5-inch wheelbase, the Impala is 200.4 inches long overall and 72.9 inches wide.
\r\n\r\nDepending on the choice of front seats, the Impala holds either five or six occupants. Nuance sandstone leather seating with French seams on the center cushions is available. The seats have firmer cushions and increased lumbar support.
\r\n\r\nAn all-new instrument panel wraps into the door panels; its double-hump design is reminiscent of early Corvettes. All Impalas except the SS offer a choice of trim: either a wood-trimmed look or a sportier, brushed sterling appearance. The Impala SS has a patterned trim panel. The glove box is 20 percent larger than before, and trunk space totals 18.6 cubic feet.
\r\n\r\nGeneral Motors'' OnStar communication system is standard. Automatic dual-zone climate control and a remote starter that features automatic climate pre-conditioning — warming or cooling the car prior to entry — are available. Cruise control buttons are mounted on the steering wheel, and auxiliary radio controls are optional. An eight-way heated power driver''s seat and a six-way passenger seat are available in sedans with leather seating surfaces.
\r\n\r\nImpalas can be equipped with one of three audio systems. An uplevel CD/MP3 radio is configured for XM Satellite Radio operation. An ICDX radio includes an in-dash six-CD changer and a premium Bose sound system. Upgraded standard remote keyless entry now lets drivers use the panic button to locate their car.

In SS models, the 5.3-liter V-8 generates 303 hp and 323 pounds-feet of torque and features Displacement On Demand technology to reduce fuel consumption under light-load conditions. Each engine works with a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nSide curtain-type airbags and seat belt pretensioners are standard. All-disc antilock brakes are standard on the LT, LTZ and SS. Traction control is available.

\r\n\r\nAll Malibus but the SS have variable-assist electric power steering and a fully independent suspension; the SS features hydraulic power steering. Chevrolet offers a factory-installed remote starter that allows the driver to start the engine from up to 200 feet away.
\r\n\r\nThis Malibu was the first Chevrolet model to display the company''s next-generation family look. The automaker calls this "expressive styling," which blends corporate heritage with European influence. The car features a chrome front bar and a gold bow tie emblem. Other badging was eliminated for a cleaner appearance. Body-colored mirrors, rocker panels and side moldings are mounted on the LT sedan. The LTZ sedan sports a rear spoiler.
\r\n\r\nCompared with its predecessor, the current version has a slightly wider stance. Mounted on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, the Malibu is 188.3 inches long overall. Those dimensions are comparable to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry''s, two of the Malibu''s foremost competitors. LS models ride 15-inch tires, the LT gets 16-inchers, and the new LTZ rides on 17-inch rubber. LTZ and SS models feature aluminum wheels.
\r\n\r\nFive occupants fit inside the Malibu, which has a flat-folding front passenger seat and a 60/40-split, folding rear seat. The trunk holds 15.4 cubic feet of cargo. A new four-spoke steering wheel is installed.

\r\n\r\nIn addition to chrome-clad aluminum wheels, the 2006 Limited package includes automatic headlamps and dual-zone automatic climate control with infrared sensing.
\r\n\r\nA 2.7-liter V-6 produces 190 horsepower in the base sedan. Other models get a 250-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. Both engines team with a four-speed-automatic transmission in rear-wheel-drive 300s, but the all-wheel-drive 300''s 3.5-liter V-6 drives a five-speed automatic.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes, traction control and an Electronic Stability Program are optional on the base sedan and standard on other models. Side curtain-type airbags are optional.
\r\n\r\nFrom the first moments behind the wheel, the 300 feels especially solid and substantial. The 3.5-liter V-6 delivers adequate power for mountainous terrain, but no true surplus. Except for a slight snarl when pushing hard while climbing, the V-6 is very quiet. Performance is almost as appealing with the 2.7-liter V-6, which is a little noisier.
\r\n\r\nThe 300 steers easily and demands just enough effort to impart a semi-sporty sensation. You can expect a confident feel through winding roads.
\r\n\r\nPerformance in snow and ice is amazing because of the Electronic Stability Program. Even if you tromp the gas on a snow-packed curve, the system kicks in immediately — albeit assertively — to keep the car on course.
\r\n\r\nThe seats are reasonably supportive and comfortable, but a bit hard. Abundant glass area and large mirrors help visibility. Backseat space is abundant.

Its 52.05 kW-per-litre rating exceeds even that of the legendary 1966 `Street HEMI.'' Torque is rated at 569 N•m (420 lb.-ft.) at 4800 rpm.
\r\n\r\nAlthough the Chrysler HEMI® was born in the 1950s and entered into legend in the 1960s and ''70s, today''s version took much of its inspiration from the original – particularly the namesake hemispherical combustion chambers that provide power and efficiency. When Chrysler Group''s Street and Racing Team (SRT) set out to develop a more powerful HEMI® for the Chrysler 300C SRT8, they were mindful of the engine''s heritage, which led to adopting traditional HEMI® engine cues such as an orange painted cylinder block and black valve covers.
\r\n\r\nThe SRT powertrain engineers who developed the Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring''s engine achieved more horsepower by adding increasing capacity, increasing the compression ratio, redesigning the cylinder head intake and exhaust systems for increased flow, and increasing engine speed. To get more displacement, SRT engineers bored out the diameter of the cylinders in the Chrysler 300C SRT8''s HEMI® by 3.5 mm each, to increase the total displacement to 6.1-litres from 5.7-litres. Compression ratio was also increased to 10.3:1 from 9.6:1, unleashing more energy in the combustion process.
\r\n\r\nEngine breathing was increased with new high-flow cylinder heads, a specially designed intake manifold, and exhaust `headers'' with individual tubes encased in a stainless steel shell, all unique to the new SRT8''s 6.1-litre HEMI® engine. Larger diameter valves and reshaped cylinder ports in the heads allow for maximized air flow. The intake manifold was designed with larger diameter runners for higher-speed tuning. Exhaust is routed through a larger-diameter 70 mm (2.75 in.) exhaust system (up by 10 percent) with 90 mm (3.5 in.) chrome tail pipes.
\r\n\r\nPerformance-oriented camshaft profiles were developed to balance total vehicle requirements, simultaneously allowing more air in and out of cylinders. This increases performance and manages a higher engine speed, which is another method to increase horsepower. SRT engineers increased the HEMI®''s peak engine speed to 5800 rpm from 5400 rpm. Intake and exhaust valve stems are hollow, and the exhaust valve stems are filled with sodium to help dissipate heat more efficiently.
\r\n\r\nThe high-performance 6.1-litre HEMI® is further strengthened with a host of redesigned components, including a reinforced engine block with increased coolant flow, forged steel crankshaft, high-strength powdered-metal connecting rods, floating-pin pistons (cooled by oil squirters), and a sump modified to ensure reduced oil foaming.
\r\n\r\nIn the 300C SRT8 Touring, the 6.1-litre HEMI®''s power is channeled through an W5A580 five-speed automatic transmission with specially calibrated AutoStick® driver-selectable range control, which offers fully automatic or sequential manual gear shifting. A heavy-duty four-flange prop shaft sends the torque from the transmission to an upgraded rear differential and axle.
\r\n\r\nThe Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring''s suspension and chassis are tuned for outstanding ride and handling across the broadest dynamic range that customers are likely to experience. Chassis setup for the Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring is aimed at all-round performance with a number of enhancements, including tuned Bilstein dampers, specially tailored spring rates and suspension bushings and larger-diameter anti-roll bars. New front and rear suspension knuckles contribute to a ride height lowered 13 mm (0.5 in.) compared to the regular model. And, the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) has been specially tuned for the SRT8''s performance handling characteristics.
\r\n\r\nThe Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring connects with the road via a new wheel and tyre assembly consisting of 20-inch aluminium SRT performance wheels. Braking performance goes hand-in-hand with the new Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring''s outstanding accelerating and speed — and the braking system was specially designed to slow and stop the car safely, predictably and with maximum stability. At the same time, this system was designed to provide benchmark braking performance, setting a new standard for wagons in its class.
\r\n\r\nWithin each of the large diameter 20-inch wheels are high performance brake calipers developed by Brembo — well known in racing and high-performance circles — equipped with four pistons for unrivalled stopping performance. Up front, the Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring has 360 mm x 32 mm ventilated discs, with 350 mm x 28 mm ventilated discs at the rear.
\r\n\r\nBefitting its high-performance character, the new Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring exterior styling is a sophisticated treatment that resonates with the Chrysler brand''s premium character.
\r\n\r\nModified front and rear fascias help direct air flow, particularly through unique ducts that help cool the brakes. In addition, a specially designed rear deck spoiler, while refined in appearance, is also functional — increasing rear downforce by 39 percent without increasing drag.
\r\n\r\nOther unique touches to the Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring''s exterior include body-colour front and rear bumper inserts, body-colour grille insert with chrome collar, body colour mirrors and door handles, and unique SRT badging.
\r\n\r\nTwo exterior colours are available: Bright Silver and Brilliant Black. The interior is offered in a Light Graystone/Dark Slate combination.
\r\n\r\nStandard interior features of the Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring include front seats equipped with heat and memory functions, clad with performance suede inserts that secure occupants during spirited driving. Other features include an adjustable pedal cluster; `technical'' leather trim on the steering wheel, shifter and door pulls; and special finishing on interior trim such as on the centre stack. Full instrumentation includes a 290 km/h (180 mph) speedometer, tachometer and temperature gauges.
\r\n\r\nThe Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring wagon shares all the major attributes of its sedan sibling, but adds the customer benefit of a 630-litre load area which can be expanded to 1,602 litres with rear seats folded, plus easy access through the unique rear liftgate.
\r\n\r\nThe body of the Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring shares the strong structure of the sedan, but has unique rear side panels, roof and rear liftgate. The steel liftgate is shaped like an inverted ''L,'' and the hinges are set back over the load area so that the liftgate rises almost vertically and does not require the operator to step back from the vehicle. This unique liftgate architecture also allows for enhanced access to the rear cargo area. The liftgate, fitted with a two-speed wiper and wash system for additional customer convenience, can be unlocked using the button on the key fob and opened by the centrally mounted external handle.
\r\n\r\nBoth the front and rear seats of the Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring are as spacious and comfortable as those of the Sedan — with near identical head, leg and shoulder room — but the trunk area is 25 percent larger than in the sedan when the rear seats are up. Within its competitive set, Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring offers exceptional minimum and maximum cargo volume — more than Audi A6 Avant, BMW 5-Series Touring and Saab 9-5 Estate.
\r\n\r\nThe load area features a removable, rollaway tonneau cover, large storage bins in each side panel, four cargo tie-down loops and a 12-volt power outlet. The load floor has a removable tri-fold panel that weighs just 7.25 kg (16 lbs.) and can be partially or fully folded, or completely removed. When used, small items can be stored below this floor panel. When removed, the maximum available load height is increased by 102 mm (4.0 in.). An optional cargo-management system is available, which stores below the tri-fold panel. It includes a aterproof liner and folding divider with cargo retaining nets.
\r\n\r\nAdditional cargo can be carried on the optional roof bars that come with two cross bars. Roof ar load capacity is 68 kg (150 lbs.).

Along the hood are horizontal "stripes" or indents that serve primarily to strengthen the hood, but also give it an interesting character. Since most hoods are either flat or curved or have some simple shape to them, this is different, as one would expect.
\r\n\r\nUnder the hood is a 3.2-liter V6 that delivers 215 horsepower. Power reaches the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode and lockup torque converter. I found the engine/transmission combination to be very good, and while it was possible to shift manually, it wasn''t necessary. It''s possible to leave the car in automatic and let it do its own thing. If you really want to get sporty on curvy roads, then you might want to shift manually, but again, it isn''t necessary.
\r\n\r\nAt speed, there is some wind noise through the cloth top, but I didn''t find it intrusive. In general, the engine has a nice "sports car" sound to it.\r\n\r\nThe instrument panel features three dials with white-on-black gauges. The speedometer was in the center, tachometer on the right, and fuel and water gauges on the left.
\r\n\r\nIn the brushed aluminum center console the HVAC controls are different, especially with regard to temperature and fan setting. These are wheels that you adjust, rather than conventional knobs. Once you get the hang of it, they''re easy to use.
\r\n\r\nThe audio system was very good, with an AM/FM stereo radio and in-dash CD changer.
\r\n\r\nStorage areas included pockets in the doors and a small cubby in the center console that was ideal for a cell phone. There was no space behind the seats, although the glove box was a decent size.
\r\n\r\nVanity mirrors behind the visors were small.
\r\n\r\nWith the top up, some rear visibility is lost. This is exacerbated when the spoiler is deployed. You can deploy it with a switch on the dash to impress the neighbors and teenagers, or it will deploy automatically when the car reaches 60 mph. However, when the spoiler is deployed it improves the rear-end styling.

And that''s what they get with the 2005 Crossfire SRT-6.
\r\n\r\nSRT stands for Street and Racing Technology (the number indicates the amount of cylinders) and is used already by Dodge for the Viper, the Ram, and the Neon. The Crossfire is the first Chrysler with the SRT badge.
\r\n\r\nThe SRT-6 has more power, larger brakes, a stiffer suspension, and fatter rubber. You recognize this version by its deeper chin spoiler up front and the fixed rear spoiler. They reduce lift and provide better aerodynamics at higher speed.
\r\n\r\nUnder the hood is the supercharged 3.2-liter V-6 engine teamed to the five-speed automatic Speedshift transmission (Chrysler calls it AutoStick) that we know from the SLK 32 AMG. In the Crossfire this powerplant delivers 330 hp and 310 lb-ft.of torque. That is slightly less than in the SLK, because Chrysler chose different parameters in the engine management system.
\r\n\r\nThe underpinnings of the SRT-6 have been upgraded to deal with the higher power and torque. Engineers applied 30-percent stiffer springs and shock absorbers with a sportier setting. Power gets to the road via the large 15-spoke wheels (18-inch front and 19-inch rear) with second-generation Michelin Pilot Sport Ultra High Performance tires. ESP is tuned specifically for a sportier drive. With its European roots it is no surprise that also the SRT-6 also was tested on the famous Nürburgring racetrack and the German autobahn.
\r\n\r\nWe drove the Crossfire SRT-6 on the handling course of the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Michigan . This Crossfire really feels at ease on the track. Its power can be heard and felt by the force of the six cylinders and the howl of the compressor. There is always power available and a press on the accelerator gives you strong thrust, no matter if the engine revs at 3000 or 5000 rpm. According to Chrysler, the SRT-6 should be able to sprint from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds, while it should reach an electronically limited top speed of 158 mph. For the sprint we timed the SRT-6 at 5.2 seconds.
\r\n\r\nStraight-line performance is very stable and cornering is tight and composed: the SRT-6 does not roll much and handles very well in the corners and the chicane. It''s a pity Chrysler did not work on the steering system, though. It is a bit vague as was the previous SLK''s steering, but with its stiffer set-up, the SRT-6 reacts better than the normal version. Four ventilated disc brakes with dual-piston calipers and ABS and brake assist stop the fast Crossfire without drama: it should brake from 60 to 0 mph in approximately 115 ft and do 0-100-0 mph in less than 16 seconds.

Developers sought a vehicle that didn''t conform to the traditional proportions of a car, sport utility vehicle or minivan, yet featured the best attributes of each. Chrysler branded the Pacifica "simply cool and classy."
\r\n\r\nPacificas can have an on-demand all-wheel-drive system or front-wheel drive. The vehicle''s six seats are arranged in three rows of two each.
\r\n\r\nFor 2005, a new entry-level five-passenger model joined the Touring and Limited editions. All models now carry Chrysler''s 3.5-liter V-6. New Touring options included rear parking assist, 19-inch chrome-clad wheels and Sirius Satellite Radio. A BeltAlert system is standard for 2006. Mirrors are bigger, and can be fitted with automatic tilt-down. The glovebox is larger, too, and a new DVD radio plays MP3 CDs and audio or video DVDs.
\r\n\r\nBold body creases serve as character lines to decorate the Pacifica''s sides. A wide stance makes the vehicle look low and stable. Horizontal lines serve to stretch its profile.
\r\n\r\nA large, familiar eggcrate grille with tapered sides holds a new rendition of Chrysler''s winged badge. Fog lamps sit low in deep holders.
\r\n\r\nEngineers adapted the five-link independent rear suspension, which features automatic leveling, from the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan. A power sunroof and power liftgate are available.
\r\n\r\nSix people can occupy three rows of seats, of which the first two can be heated. Second-row buckets have fold-and-tumble capability and include a full-length console and seat-mounted armrests. A 50/50-split folding bench goes into the rear. Cloth upholstery is standard, and leather is available. The base model seats five and is equipped with a 65/35-split, folding bench in the second row.
\r\n\r\nPower-adjustable pedals with memory are installed in the Limited. A navigation system with a small screen in the instrument cluster, a video entertainment system and Sirius Satellite Radio are available.
\r\n\r\nThe 3.5-liter V-6 produces 250 horsepower and 250 pounds-feet of torque; last year''s 215-hp, 3.8-liter V-6 has been discontinued. A four-speed-automatic transmission incorporates AutoStick for manually selecting gear changes when desired.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes and a driver''s inflatable knee blocker are standard. Side curtain-type airbags are available.
\r\n\r\nSolidity and stability highlight the Pacifica. Body lean is substantial in higher-speed curves, as the suspension feels somewhat squishy. On good roads, the ride is smooth and easy — close to minivanlike, with rarely a harsh moment. Steering is accurate with good feel and a rather light touch, but handling is on the humdrum side, falling short of confident.
\r\n\r\nThe Pacifica is exceptionally quiet most of the time, but it suffers some engine blare under hard acceleration. Acceleration is strong enough, but not stirring. Chrysler''s automatic transmission occasionally downshifts curtly when pushed at lower speeds.
\r\n\r\nThe seats are well contoured, nicely cushioned and seem virtually as high as a standard chair, but have short bottoms. The flowing-look instrument panel is appealing, but the huge speedometer isn''t the easiest to read at a glance.

Four trims are available: base, Touring, Limited and GT.
\r\n\r\nFor 2006, the high-output turbocharged engine in the GT gets a boost to 230 horsepower, which represents a 10 hp increase. Front and rear fascias have been updated, including a new grille with a winged Chrysler badge and chrome accents, new headlamps with scalloped bottom edges, new round fog lamps, and a new spoiler on the rear roof panel. The 2006 PT Cruiser''s interior is new, and includes fresh seat trim and a satin silver-finished instrument panel with larger graphics and an analog clock. A passenger grab handle now sits on the instrument panel, and a new console features a sliding armrest. All radios now have MP3 capability.
\r\n\r\nThe PT Cruiser vaguely resembles a panel truck of the 1930s, overlaid with street-rod styling from the 1950s. Bulging fenders, fender-mounted headlights and taillights, and a tall, wide eggcrate grille help give the PT Cruiser its unique look. Another distinctive feature is its basic stance, which makes the wagon look like it''s leaning forward. Built on a 103-inch wheelbase, the PT Cruiser is 168.9 inches long overall and 63 inches tall.
\r\n\r\nA liftgate-mounted sport spoiler is standard on the GT and optional on the Limited. The potent PT Cruiser GT has a larger, lower grille opening for its air-to-air intercooler. Additional GT features include a large-diameter chrome exhaust tip and all-season performance tires on 17-inch chrome-clad wheels.
\r\n\r\nUp to five occupants can fit inside the versatile interior. Two bucket seats are installed up front and a 65/35-split, folding rear bench holds three. Outboard passengers have adequate space, but the center rear position is cramped.
\r\n\r\nRemoving the rear seat expands cargo volume from a moderate 21.6 cubic feet to a sizable 62.7 cubic feet. The front-passenger seatback folds flat, leaving enough space to haul an 8-foot ladder. Performance seats, silver cluster gauges and a satin silver gearshift knob are included in the GT.
\r\n\r\nThe base 2.4-liter four-cylinder produces 150 hp. Two turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinders are offered, producing either 180 hp or 230 hp. The 180-hp engine comes only with a four-speed-automatic transmission, but the other power plants can mate with either the automatic or a five-speed manual. The automatic in the 230-hp PT Cruiser GT incorporates AutoStick manual gear selection.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes are standard on the GT and available on other trim levels. Side-impact airbags for the front seats are optional, but a driver''s inflatable knee blocker is newly standard.
\r\n\r\nImaginative and distinctive styling are the main attractions, but this wagon''s roomy and flexible interior keeps buyers interested. Though the base-engine PT Cruiser is far from overpowering, its performance is more satisfying than some critics suggest. Throttle response is rapid, even if the action that follows is a little lackadaisical. As expected, the high-output turbocharged GT delivers responsive performance, even with the automatic.
\r\n\r\nThe PT Cruiser''s terrific handling is confident and nimble. This wagon maneuvers with utter crispness and can take corners with impressive speed. Body lean in curves is noticeable, but the otherwise-stable PT Cruiser is exceptionally easy to drive.

\r\n\r\nNew sedan packages are available for 2006: a Leather Value Package, a Chrome Value Package, and a Protection Value Package that includes all-disc antilock brakes, low-speed traction control and side curtain-type airbags.
\r\n\r\nConvertibles are offered in base, sporty GTC, Touring and Limited trim for 2006. Sirius Satellite Radio is a new option, and a navigation radio with a six-CD player is available.
\r\n\r\nSimilar styling is evident on both Sebring body styles, led by an eggcrate grille. Sebring convertibles and sedans may look similar at a glance, but they have different front fascias, taillights and side body panels.
\r\n\r\nTheir dimensions also differ. Convertibles ride a 106-inch wheelbase and measure 193.7 inches long overall, while the sedan has a 108-inch wheelbase but is 3 inches shorter. All convertibles have a power top and a glass rear window with an electric defogger.
\r\n\r\nThe Sebring sedan and convertible both contain front bucket seats. Sedans have a three-place rear bench, while the convertible has a two-place rear seat that allows four-passenger capacity. The sedan''s 60/40-split rear seatback folds to expand cargo capacity beyond the 16-cubic-foot trunk. Convertibles have a fixed rear seatback and only 11.3 cubic feet of trunk space. Leather-trimmed, two-tone bucket seats are installed in the TSi sedan.
\r\n\r\nA 150-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder is standard in the base sedan and convertible, while the other models use a 2.7-liter V-6 that produces 200 hp. Both engines work with a four-speed-automatic transmission, which includes AutoStick for manually selected gear changes in the TSi sedan and Limited convertible.
\r\n\r\nAntilock all-disc brakes are standard on the Limited convertible and TSi sedan. The front airbags deploy at one of three levels based on crash severity. Side curtain-type airbags are optional in sedan models.
\r\n\r\nThe Sebring convertible is easy to drive and nicely stable on the highway; it offers considerably more rear legroom than most rivals. Strong performance with the V-6 engine is likely to slow only in steep terrain. Not only is the convertible''s ride nearly glass-smooth, but it also remains commendably civilized when the road surface turns harsh. Maneuvering with an appealing degree of precision, the soft-top model responds crisply with just a bit of understeer.
\r\n\r\nThe mild-mannered yet satisfying V-6-equipped Sebring Limited sedan yields a refined experience and an excellent ride. A roomy interior and generous standard-equipment list enhance its appeal, even if the Sebring sedan fails to stand out from the midsize crowd.

The Firepower grand tourer concept car, making its debut at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, exudes Chrysler brand attributes of elegance and performance with high customer value.
\r\n\r\n“As designers, we challenged ourselves,” said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Chrysler Group Design. “How could we best encompass such strong Chrysler models as the Crossfire, which began the brand’s move toward a higher level of performance and elegance, while looking to the most extreme expression of engineering and design such as last year’s prototype, the ME Four-Twelve? Firepower uniquely bridges these two worlds.”
\r\n\r\nPainstakingly crafted, the elegant and powerful Firepower concept is an example of automotive design and engineering within the reach of Chrysler brand customers. The exterior and interior design, flush with fine materials and meticulous details, are matched with performance provided by a 6.1-liter HEMI® V8 and a Dodge Viper-based chassis.
\r\n\r\nThe SRT-developed engine is exclusive to the Chrysler Group’s high-performance products. Firepower uses a rear-wheel drive chassis with suspension and brakes fitting of a thoroughbred performance vehicle. A world-class 5-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick® melds luxury and sport. Chrysler Group estimates 0-60 mph performance at less than 4.5 seconds and estimates a top speed of 175 mph.
\r\n\r\nFirepower uses massive billet aluminum wheels measuring 19x12 inches in the front and 20x12 inches in the rear. Tires are 275/35R19 in the front and 335/30R20 in the back.
\r\n\r\nThe exterior is covered in Hydro Silver Pearl, with dark carbon fiber and polished aluminum accents. In addition to embodying Chrysler grand tourer spirit in the exterior design, Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling was used to shape the body with aerodynamics in mind. Design for proper engine cooling as well as down force in the rear are achieved through this modeling.
\r\n\r\nThe interior is befitting of the Chrysler brand image of beauty and elegance. The interior color combination consists of Ocean Deep Blue as a primary hue, with Oyster leather and Behr maple accents. Finely trimmed leather-covered sport seats, automatic climate control and a premium audio system provide a tasteful and purposeful interior environment. All touch surfaces – steering wheel, control knobs, and shifter – are finished with fine materials for a luxury feel. The instrument panel was designed to display vital information through precisely-detailed gauges, completing the look and feel of refinement. “The Firepower concept embodies the Chrysler brand philosophy,” said Creed. “It provides luxury, refinement and sophistication blended elegantly with passion and performance.”

More than 15 new features appear on 2005 models; the most notable is the “Stow ’n Go” fold-flat-into-the-floor configuration for the second- and third-row seats. These models are the first minivans to have both seats fold into the floor. They can be folded down with one hand in as little as 30 seconds.
\r\n\r\nBuilt on an all-new platform, the Chrysler Town & Country comes in two sizes. Stow ’n Go seating is standard in the long-wheelbase LX, Touring and Limited models. Side curtain-type airbags protect outboard occupants in all three rows of seats, and the driver gets an inflatable knee blocker.
\r\n\r\nDevelopers claim the 2005 minivans are 16 percent quieter than their predecessors. Rear parking assist with an audible warning and a rear overhead display is available.
\r\n\r\nSales of the 2005 minivans began early in 2004. The Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan are similar but not as posh as the Town & Country. DaimlerChrysler’s Chrysler Group invented the minivan more than 20 years ago and has sold more than 10 million. Today’s minivan market share for Chrysler and Dodge models is 38 percent.
\r\n\r\nThe styling of the new Town & Country is similar to the previous version, but the 2005 models have an entirely new underbody. Trevor Creed, Chrysler Group senior vice president of design, refers to the process as “designing our minivans from the inside out.” Standard-length models ride a 113.3-inch wheelbase, while extended-length minivans have a 119.3-inch wheelbase.
\r\n\r\nA winged Chrysler badge spans the full width of the grille, which has four chrome horizontal bars. Sculpted headlights and a new front fascia that contains round fog lamps are installed. Limited models have chromed fascia inserts. Town & Country minivans get a roof rack. Touring and Limited models have 16-inch cast-aluminum wheels, and other versions ride on 15-inch steel wheels.
\r\n\r\nAll Town & Country minivans seat seven occupants. DaimlerChrysler claims that the new models offer as many as 256 possible seating configurations. Bucket seats are installed in the second row, and the third row features a 60/40-split bench seat that can be folded partially or completely.
\r\n\r\nWith Stow ’n Go seating, the headrests do not need to be removed in order to fold down the seats. When the second-row seats are upright, two storage bins with integrated lids provide an additional 12 cubic feet of storage space. Standard cargo net bags adjust to fit each storage bin. Outboard breakaway cupholders remain intact when the second-row seats are folded. Split-bench tailgate seating is possible by flipping the third-row seat rearward, and the liftgate can provide protection against the elements.
\r\n\r\nSuper High Density Foam cushions, developed for astronauts by NASA, are used in Chrysler’s minivan seats. The second-row seats move fore and aft with 100 mm of travel, recline up to 40 degrees and have 13 positions. The third-row seatbacks recline up to 39 degrees and feature 12 positions. By pulling a single strap, the second-row seat tumbles out of the way for entry to the third row.
\r\n\r\nThree adjustable and removable bins fit into an overhead rail system, and one can hold an optional DVD entertainment system’s screen. A navigation system with a 4.2-inch screen is also available. Cargo volume behind the rear seat is 15.3 cubic feet for standard-length models and 26.4 cubic feet for extended-wheelbase minivans. With all of the seats removed, the longer minivan offers 167.7 cubic feet of cargo area.
\r\n\r\nNew Sycamore wood goes on the center stack bezel and is complemented by satin-silver accents. Touring models have a satin-silver look on the bezel.
\r\n\r\nStandard-length models and the extended-wheelbase LX version use a 180-horsepower, 3.3-liter V-6 engine. Touring and Limited extended-length models get a 3.8-liter V-6 that generates 215 hp and 245 pounds-feet of torque. All minivans are equipped with a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes are standard. Side curtain-type airbags protect occupants in all three rows of seats. An inflatable knee blocker helps protect the driver. Multistage front airbags and a BeltAlert reminder are standard. LATCH child-safety seat anchors are installed in the second row of all Town & Country models and in the third row of minivans equipped with Stow ’n Go seating. A door-alert system that indicates when the sliding door is moving will be added during the 2005 model year.

A new BeltAlert system activates a chime and warning light that reminds the driver to buckle up.
\r\n\r\nFor 2005, a completely different LX sedan will replace the Concorde. The new model will be equipped with rear-wheel drive (RWD) rather than FWD. Chrysler has not offered a RWD sedan since 1989.
\r\n\r\nThe Concorde is built on the same platform as the Dodge Intrepid, and it’s related to the sporty Chrysler 300M, which has different styling and is shorter overall. Starting in July 2002, all Chrysler vehicles gained a new 7-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty that is transferable to subsequent owners.
\r\n\r\nEven though its low-nose/high-deck profile is similar to that of the Intrepid, the Concorde has a look all of its own that features plenty of curves. Wraparound headlights flank a wide, oval-shaped crosshatch grille. The rear end’s styling is also different because it features a back window that is smaller than the one on the Intrepid.
\r\n\r\nThe tires on the LX and LXi measure 16 inches in diameter, while 17-inchers are installed on the top-of-the-line Limited. The Concorde measures 207.7 inches long overall on a 113-inch wheelbase, and it comes with a four-wheel touring-tuned independent suspension.
\r\n\r\nFront bucket seats are standard in all models. A 50/50-split front bench that expands total capacity to six passengers instead of the standard five is available for the LX and LXi. Steering-wheel stereo controls are included with the optional Infinity sound system.
\r\n\r\nLike the Intrepid, the Concorde has large doors, a spacious interior and a roomy trunk. Because of its higher roofline, backseat passengers get slightly more headroom in the Concorde.
\r\n\r\nA 200-horsepower, 2.7-liter V-6 engine goes into the LX. The LXi gets a 232-hp, 3.5-liter V-6, and the Limited’s 3.5-liter V-6 is rated at 250 hp. Each engine works with a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nSide-impact airbags for the front seats are optional on all models. Antilock brakes and low-speed traction control are standard on the Limited and optional on the LXi.
\r\n\r\nBeyond the Concorde’s still-striking appearance lies a roomy and functional sedan that rides pleasantly, is easy and enjoyable to drive, and feels more nimble than many big cars. Even before the LXi’s engine was enlarged to 3.5 liters, it delivered spirited acceleration — unlike the 2.7-liter V-6 in the LX, which doesn’t quite pack the muscle to propel a car of this size with full force. The 250-hp Limited should be even more confident when passing and merging.
\r\n\r\nThe Concorde’s ride doesn’t quite rank as gentle, but it is smooth on most pavement surfaces. All of the seats have short bottoms and are on the firm side, but both the front and rear promise plenty of space to stretch out. Because the small back window is positioned behind a high parcel shelf, rear visibility could be a problem for shorter drivers.

The quad-turbo, V-12 powered Chrysler ME Four Twelve supercar may not only establish real-world performance records but may also set a record for lightning-quick vehicle development. It took less than one year to complete from start to finish (though we don''t know what they started with).
\r\n\r\nThe engine is from AMG, with 850 bhp @ 5750 rpm, with 850 lb-ft. (1150 N-m) of torque between 2500 and 4500 rpm on premium unleaded fuel. It was reportedly designed for Chrysler, but will probably be used by Mercedes in other applications (we''d expect it to appear in the Vision and perhaps the McLaren SLR). Use of the AMG engine was dictated largely by the need for high power with light weight (around 500 lb) and at reasonable development cost.
\r\n\r\nWith a curb weight of just 2880 lbs. (1310 kg), the ME Four-Twelve has the weight-to-power ratio of 3.4 lbs/bhp — a new performance record. In actual Chrysler speed runs, the ME Four-Twelve goes from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, 0-100 mph in 6.2 seconds, and it will blister through the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 135 mph. The estimated top speed of the ME Four-Twelve is 248 mph (400 km/h). The vehicle is designed and packaged to achieve outstanding thermal performance under extreme operating conditions. Its large capacity, high-efficiency engine-cooling system allows this engine to retain optimum thermal performance — a key advantage in the super car arena.
\r\n\r\nThe 7-speed Ricardo Double Clutch Transmission was developed specifically for this vehicle and features the latest double wet-clutch technology and electronic control strategy. The exclusive transmission delivers uninterrupted torque to the rear wheels with 200 millisecond shift times. The double wet-clutch technology appears to come from Chrysler. (An anonymous Chrysler employee wrote, "I cannot believe that Chrysler didn''t get the credit for this transaxle!!! To be fair, it fits with its replacement by the junk MB controls and system.")
\r\n\r\nDodge ME-412 supercar conceptThe ME Four-Twelve''s carbon fiber bodywork was designed to mate to a carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb monocoque tub. Aluminum crush structures and chrome-moly sub-frames complete the ME Four-Twelve''s rigid support structure, which complies with US federal impact regulations.
\r\n\r\nThe suspension is comprised of double wishbones, aluminum control arms, horizontally-opposed coil-over dampers with electronically controlled compression and rebound tuning, stainless-steel push rods and a blade configured anti-roll bar. The power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering has an overall ratio of 16:1 with 2.4 turns lock-to-lock and a turning circle of 36.0 feet.
\r\n\r\nThe ME Four-Twelve braking system features massive 15.0-inch (381 mm) ventilated carbon ceramic composite disc brake rotors with six-piston aluminum mono block calipers for superior braking performance during all driving conditions. The composite discs are sixty-five percent lower in weight than comparable cast iron rotors. Wheels are cast aluminum: 19x10-inch front and 20x12.5-inch rear. Michelin high-performance radials are 265/35ZR19 in the front and 335/30ZR20 in the rear.
\r\n\r\nAt just 44.9 inches tall, 78.7 inches wide and 178.8-inches long, the two-seat, mid-engine ME Four-Twelve was wind tunnel tested in Auburn Hills. The computer controlled active rear spoiler articulates rearward 100 mm to increase down-force to a total of 925 lbs. (421 kg) at 186 mph (300 km/h), while achieving a competitive coefficient of drag (Cd) of 0.358. All body openings have been optimized to achieve maximum thermal performance. Large vented front and rear wheel houses reduce lift as well as active and passive aerodynamic devices that have been implemented to provide stable vehicle performance at all speeds.
\r\n\r\nThe interior is relatively spacious with 37.2 in (942 mm) of headroom, and 42.7 in (1085 mm) of legroom. A large glass roof panel extends from the windshield to the rear header. Passenger-side adjustable foot support helps keep the co-pilot in position during extreme cornering maneuvers.
\r\n\r\nThis vehicle breaks the mold of the super car genre because its packaging can easily accommodate drivers in a wide range of heights. Ease of access to driving controls was a primary focus. For example, there are steering wheel mounted controls, including a column mounted F-1 racing style paddle shifter with aluminum shift paddles and centrally mounted driver controls.
\r\n\r\nStyling was done by a young and friendly Chrysler designer, Brian Nielander, who normally designs trucks; he worked directly with engineers and aerodynamics experts to shape the interior and exterior and make sure that the engineers did not make the ME-412.

Three Voyager trim levels were sold in 2002, but the 2003 lineup includes only two versions of the LX: one with a four-cylinder engine and the other with a 3.3-liter V-6. Offered only in short-body form, all Voyagers have front-wheel drive and a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nUntil 2001, the Voyager wore a Plymouth badge. When that longtime make was discontinued, Chrysler adopted the Voyager name for its less-costly minivan.
\r\n\r\nFewer amenities are available in the Voyager than in the Town & Country. The Voyager is closely related not only to the longer, higher-priced Town & Country but also to the popular Dodge Caravan. All DaimlerChrysler minivans were redesigned and enlarged for the 2001 model year.
\r\n\r\nThe Voyager rides a 113.3-inch wheelbase, measures 189.1 inches long overall and stands 68.9 inches tall. In contrast, the Town & Country minivan is 200.6 inches long overall. Sliding doors on both sides are standard; power sliding doors are not available. The tires are 15-inchers.
\r\n\r\nSeven occupants fit in the Voyager, which has bench seats for the middle and third rows. Unlike the Honda Odyssey and Mazda MPV, the Voyager lacks a third-row seat that folds into the floor; instead, it may be equipped with an optional 50/50-split third-row bench. Quad Command seating is an option that features second-row buckets instead of a bench seat.
\r\n\r\nA cassette stereo system is standard, and a CD player is optional. Power windows, locks and mirrors and an electric rear defroster are part of the Popular Equipment Package that is included with V-6 models. Adjustable pedals with a 2.75-inch range are optional.
\r\n\r\nVoyagers are offered with a choice of two engines, and each mates with a four-speed-automatic transmission. The 2.4-liter dual-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine produces 150 horsepower, while the 3.3-liter V-6 is rated at 180 hp.
\r\n\r\nThe front airbags have multistage inflation. Side-impact airbags and antilock brakes are optional. Seat belt pretensioners for the front seats and child-safety seat tethers for the second and third rows are standard.
\r\n\r\nChrysler and Dodge still produce the minivans to beat. Lively acceleration from a standstill with the 3.3-liter V-6 engine is not quite matched by the Voyager’s passing and merging prowess, but performance is more than adequate. Typical buyers will probably decide that the four-cylinder model lacks sufficient strength.
\r\n\r\nAll DaimlerChrysler minivans handle with a relatively light touch, but not in a disconcerting manner. They feel secure on the highway and are easy to drive, with no unpleasant surprises to mar the experience. The Voyager maneuvers adeptly in urban driving and is confident and capable in difficult spots or bad-weather situations.
\r\n\r\nGenerally, the Voyager is quiet, but wind and road noise can be heard at times. Quality problems of the past appear to have been resolved, and the current minivans seem well constructed and refined. One annoyance is the parking-brake release lever, which is a long reach for the driver.

The Neon was a sedan, and Dodge won''t say if a sedan will come next, but it might be significant that the Dodge Magnum had no sedan sister for about a year. Its sedan cousin came in the form of the Chrysler 300. The Dodge Charger sedan was added later.
\r\n\r\nThe Caliber fits in a class among the Ford Focus ZX5, Pontiac Vibe, Subaru Impreza wagon and Toyota Matrix. It''s an ambitious project — a "world car" intended for sale in nearly 100 countries in both left- and right-hand drive and with a choice of three gasoline engines and, overseas, one diesel. In North America it will come in SE, SXT and R/T trim levels.
\r\n\r\nWhen it goes on sale, the Caliber will be the debut model for a new platform developed with Mitsubishi. It''s built alongside the upcoming Jeep Compass in the Belvedere, Ill., assembly plant that formerly built the Neon. The new engine family — also a joint venture, with Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Korea''s Hyundai Motor Co. — is also built domestically, at a jointly owned plant in Dundee, Mich.
\r\n\r\nThe Caliber is clearly a Dodge, thanks to the crosshair grille — and the signature red paint that seems to adorn all Dodge models upon their introduction. It resembles the Magnum, though the latter is a wagon with a longer nose and cargo area. The Magnum''s controversial greenhouse — short relative to the bodyside — appears again here. The Caliber has very large wheels for a car of its size and class: Fifteen-inch steel wheels with wheel covers are standard on the SE, but the SXT jumps to 17-inch aluminum wheels, and the R/T''s are 18 inches. A black rail that runs from the base of the A-pillars and along the roofline to the taillights tricks the eye into seeing a lower, sleeker shape — a design element used previously on the Chrysler Pacifica. Despite the look, the Caliber actually sits a bit higher than a common compact car.
\r\n\r\nThe rear end, and especially the taillights, seem borrowed from the Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, but the overall effect here is good and modern.
\r\n\r\nDesigned to compete with some of the nicer compact models on the market, the interior has decent-quality materials, a sophisticated design and two-tone color schemes, even in the base trim level. Be the transmission manual or automatic, the shifter juts out from the dashboard''s center control panel. Many people complain about this placement, but it''s not likely to go away, especially in a world car. Overseas buyers prefer this location, and it also frees up some space by eliminating a floor console.
\r\n\r\nThe cargo floor is plastic, similar to that of the Matrix and Vibe, to ease cleaning. The panel itself can be removed. For the truly filthy, stain-resistant seat upholstery will come later in the year.
\r\n\r\nThere are many slick features in the Caliber, including illuminated cupholder rings, an MP3-player holster and a center armrest that slides forward 3 inches for improved comfort. The SXT and R/T trim levels add a 60/40-split, folding backseat and a folding front passenger seat to extend the cargo area. A 115-volt household power outlet is optional, as is a ceiling-mounted flashlight. The rechargeable unit can be reached from behind the car or from the backseat.
\r\n\r\nThe glove compartment has upper and lower sections, the bottom of which can serve as the optional Chill Zone beverage cooler. Connected to the air conditioning, it chills up to three cans or bottles that rest on a contoured mat. We''ve seen heated/cooled compartments before, but this one cools even when the cabin heat is on, by running the air-conditioning compressor.
\r\n\r\nMusicGate Power is Dodge''s name for a Boston Acoustics premium audio system with two special speakers in the liftgate itself. They face forward normally, but when the liftgate is raised, they can be swung down to aim rearward and play for tailgate partiers or other such loiterers. The feature is shared with the Jeep Compass.
\r\n\r\nThe 1.8-, 2.0- and 2.4-liter versions of the four-cylinder engine produce 148, 158 and 172 horsepower, respectively. In addition to increasing with engine size, the torque output also characteristically comes at lower engine speeds. The ratings are: 125 pounds-feet at 5,200 rpm, 141 pounds-feet at 5,000 rpm and 165 pounds-feet at 4,400 rpm for the small, medium and large engines, respectively. The EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy for each is 28/32 mpg, 26/30 mpg and 23/26 mpg, again respectively.
\r\n\r\nThe engines are very modern: all aluminum with variable valve timing and flow-control valves in the air intake that help ensure complete, clean combustion at all engine speeds.
\r\n\r\nCurrently the SE and SXT trim levels come with the 1.8-liter and five-speed manual. The 2.0-liter and continuously variable automatic transmission are optional. Front-wheel drive is the only choice at these levels. The R/T comes only with the 2.4-liter, CVT and all-wheel drive. An R/T with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive is promised for October 2006.
\r\n\r\nDisc/drum brakes are standard; four-wheel discs and antilock brakes with brake assist are optional in some cases.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to the required airbags, the Caliber has standard side curtain-type airbags and a driver''s knee airbag designed to keep the driver positioned properly for the primary restraints. Front seat-mounted side-impact airbags will become an option later in the year along with an electronic stability system and traction control.

Tires are high-performance Goodyear Supercar F1 three-season tires with asymmetrical tread (four-season tires are an available option) - 245/45/20 in the front, and 255/45/20 in the rear.
\r\n\r\nBalanced performance demands the ability to slow and stop a vehicle in proportion to the ability to accelerate. The braking system of the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 provides benchmark braking performance, befitting the Charger SRT8’s extreme performance character.
\r\n\r\nAll four wheels feature Brembo performance brake calipers, with the red finish characteristic of all Dodge SRT vehicles. Each four-piston caliper grips a vented rotor; 360 x 32mm discs up front, with 350 x 26mm in the rear.
\r\n\r\nFunctional performance is at the heart of the SRT credo. To that end, an all-new front fascia includes integrated ducts that help direct fresh air to cool the brakes. The front fascia also incorporates an air dam to reduce lift. The hood is equipped with a scoop to funnel cool air into the engine compartment.
\r\n\r\nThe rear fascia features integrated lower strakes to direct air flow and aggressive cutouts to accommodate dual 3.5-inch exhaust tips. A dramatic decklid spoiler set on dual stanchions increases downforce for high-speed stability and traction.
\r\n\r\nAnd because SRT vehicles look as good as they perform, a unique heritage-style SRT badge is set into the blacked-out grill. Body-colored exterior mirrors fold inward for convenience in tight quarters.
\r\n\r\nThree exterior colors are available: Bright Silver, Brilliant Black and Inferno Red Crystal Pearlcoat.
\r\n\r\nRace-inspired interior appointments in the 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 start with power-adjustable, deeply sculpted and highly bolstered sport seats in the front fitted with performance suede inserts to hold occupants during maneuvering.

This system recognizes up to seven different Bluetooth-equipped cellular phones and responds to voice commands, utilizing a microphone in the rear-view mirror and the stereo system’s speakers for hands-free conversations.
\r\n\r\nThe 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 interior is offered in Dark Slate Grey/Light Graystone.
\r\n\r\nJust as the very first Charger – the original 1964 “Charger by Dodge” concept car - sported a HEMI V-8, the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 gets its motivation from a HEMI, too. In this case, it’s a big-bore, SRT-engineered version producing 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque.
\r\n\r\nSeveral features of the new 6.1-liter SRT HEMI recall the legendary HEMI engines of previous decades, including the namesake hemispherical combustion chambers that provide power and efficiency, orange-painted cylinder block, black valve covers, and even the horsepower rating (with less displacement, the 6.1-liter HEMI’s 69.8 horsepower-per-liter rating exceeds that of the legendary Street HEMI of the 1960s and ‘70s).
\r\n\r\nTo create the 6.1-liter version of the Chrysler Group’s HEMI, SRT powertrain engineers applied tried-and-true engine-building tricks honed by generations of American hot-rodders.
\r\n\r\nThey unleashed 85 more horsepower by adding more cubic inches, increasing the compression ratio, redesigning the cylinder head, intake and exhaust systems for increased flow, and increasing engine speed.
\r\n\r\nFor more displacement, SRT engineers bored out the diameter of the cylinders in the HEMI by 3.5 millimeters each in order to increase the total displacement to 6.1 liters from 5.7 liters.
\r\n\r\nCompression ratio was also increased to 10.3:1 from 9.6:1, increasing engine efficiency and power.
\r\n\r\nEngine breathing was increased with new higher-flow cylinder heads, a specially designed intake manifold, and exhaust headers with individual tubes encased in a stainless steel shell, all unique to the 6.1-liter HEMI engine. Larger-diameter valves and reshaped ports in the heads allow for maximized air flow. The intake manifold was designed with larger-diameter and shorter runners for higher-speed tuning. Exhaust is routed through a large-diameter (2.75-inch vs. 2.5-inch) exhaust system with 3.5-inch chrome tips.
\r\n\r\nTo further increase horsepower, performance-oriented camshaft profiles were developed to allow more air in and out of the cylinders, as well as manage a higher engine speed. SRT engineers increased HEMI’s peak power output engine speed nearly 20 percent to 6,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) from 5,000 rpm. Intake and exhaust valve stems are hollow, and exhaust valve stems are filled with sodium to help dissipate heat more efficiently.
\r\n\r\nThe high-performance SRT 6.1-liter HEMI is strengthened with redesigned components, including a reinforced engine block, forged steel crankshaft, high-strength powdered-metal connecting rods, floating-pin pistons (cooled by oil squirters), and an oil pan modified to manage oil return to the pan sump at high engine speeds.
\r\n\r\nPower for the SRT 6.1-liter HEMI is channeled through an A580 five-speed automatic transmission with specially calibrated driver-selectable AutoStick®, which offers fully automatic or manual shifting selection. A heavy-duty four-flange prop shaft sends the torque from the transmission to an upgraded differential and axles.

\r\n\r\nRegular-cab Rams can be equipped with a 6.3-foot cargo bed, ride a 120.5-inch wheelbase and stretch to 207.7 inches long overall. With an 8-foot cargo bed, the Ram has a 140.5-inch wheelbase and an overall length of 229.7 inches.
\r\n\r\nQuad Cab pickups, with four conventional front-hinged doors, can also be equipped with the two bed sizes and are 20 inches longer in both wheelbase and overall length. The rear doors open 85 degrees to ease access. All models have a chrome grille, while the Laramie gets chrome bodyside moldings. A body-colored grille goes on Rams with the Sport Appearance Group. Hoods have a pronounced crown that falls toward the front fenders.
\r\n\r\nA front bench seat holds up to three occupants in a 40/20/40 configuration. A center business console can hold a laptop computer, and the center portion offers under-cushion storage.
\r\n\r\nQuad Cab models have a folding rear seat. Leather upholstery and adjustable pedals are standard in the Laramie model.
\r\n\r\nThe standard 3.7-liter V-6 produces 215 hp. Rams can be equipped with an available 235-hp, 4.7-liter Magnum V-8 or a 345-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8. A six-speed-manual transmission is standard, and a four-speed automatic is optional. With the 4.7- or 5.7-liter engine, the automatic is a five-speed unit. Rear- and four-wheel-drive models are available.
\r\n\r\nAll-disc brakes with a rear-wheel antilock feature are standard. Four-wheel ABS is standard in the Laramie. Roof-mounted side curtain-type airbags are optional.
\r\n\r\nThe Ram 1500 is a light-duty truck, but it seems big in every way — including its reaction to bumps and holes in the road. Although the suspension regains control fairly quickly, quite a bit of jolting occurs in city driving. The ride improves on the highway.
\r\n\r\nThe Ram 1500 is easy to drive and steer, and it responds predictably to driver input. A four-wheel-drive version maneuvers capably and takes curves passably well at modest speeds. Three adults fit adequately in a regular cab when the immense center armrest/storage box is raised.

Instead, Dodge promoted the standard Caravan''s price as its most attractive selling point. In fact, the four-cylinder Caravan SE was billed as the lowest-priced minivan on the market. Dodge also offers a Caravan SXT, equipped with a 3.3-liter V-6, as well as a Cargo Van model.
\r\n\r\nBuilt on a platform like the Grand Caravan''s, the regular Caravan comes on a shorter, 113.3-inch wheelbase. Standard-length Chrysler Town & Country minivans are similar to Dodge''s models but have more upscale interior appointments.
\r\n\r\nNew for 2006 are a BeltAlert system for both front occupants and a loose-fuel-cap warning. A newly available DVD radio plays CDs, MP3 CDs and DVDs.
\r\n\r\nDodge''s familiar crosshair grille sits up front and has a U-shaped design with black bars. That grille is similar to the one on the Dodge Magnum wagon. The front fascia contains a molded license plate pocket and fog lamps.
\r\n\r\nAluminum wheels hold 16-inch tires on SXT minivans, while SE models roll on 15-inch steel wheels. Power operation for the passenger-side sliding door is optional on the SXT edition.
\r\n\r\nAll Caravan passenger minivans seat seven occupants. Super High Density Foam, developed by NASA for the space program, is used in the minivan''s seats.
\r\n\r\nDual-zone air conditioning, a rear defroster system, tilt steering wheel, heated power mirrors, sunscreen glass, power door locks and keyless illuminated entry are standard on the SXT. The SE model is less abundantly equipped, but options are available. Power-adjustable pedals are optional.
\r\n\r\nCargo volume behind the rear seat is 15.1 cubic feet. With all seats removed, the Caravan holds 142.3 cubic feet of cargo. Caravans are 189.3 inches long overall, whereas the Grand Caravan measures 200.5 inches in length. Both minivans are 68.9 inches high to the top of the roof rack.
\r\n\r\nThe Caravan can be equipped with either a 150-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a 3.3-liter V-6 that develops 180 hp and 210 pounds-feet of torque. Each engine works with a four-speed-automatic transmission.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes are optional only on the SXT. Side curtain-type airbags are optional in the SE and SXT. An inflatable knee blocker helps protect the driver.

The Challenger concept sits on a 116-inch wheelbase, six inches longer than the original. But its width is two inches greater, giving the concept car a squat, tougher, more purposeful persona.
\r\n\r\nThe signature side view accent line is higher up on the body, running horizontal through the fender and door and kicking up just forward of the rear wheel.
\r\n\r\nIn section the upper and lower body surfaces intersect and fall away along this line, which has just a whisper of the original car’s coved surfacing.
\r\n\r\nThe five-spoke chrome wheels, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear, are set flush with the bodyside, giving the car the powerful muscular stance of a prizefighter eager to challenge the world. Wheel openings are drawn tightly against the tires, with the rearward edges trailing off. To emphasize the iconic muscularity, the designers added plan view “hip” to the rear quarters.
\r\n\r\nOne of the key characteristics of the original car the designers wanted to retain was the exceptionally wide look of both the front and back ends. To achieve this the designers increased both the front and rear tracks to 64 and 65 inches respectively, wider than the LX, wider even than the 1970 model. To realize the long horizontal hood the designers deemed essential, the front overhang was also increased.
\r\n\r\nBumpers are clean (no guards), body-color and flush with the body. “This is something we would have loved to do on the original Challenger,” said Jeff Godshall, who was a young designer in the Dodge Exterior studio when the first Challenger was created, “but the technology just wasn’t there. With the Challenger concept, however, the Pacifica Studio designers are able to realize what we wanted in our perfect world.”
\r\n\r\nThe hood reprises the original Challenger “performance hood” and its twin diagonal scoops, now with functional butterfly-valve intakes. Designed to showcase the modern techniques used in fabricating the car, what look like painted racing stripes are actually the exposed carbon fiber of the hood material.
\r\n\r\nThe Challenger concept is a genuine four-passenger car. Compared to the original, the greenhouse is longer, the windshield and backlite faster, and the side glass narrower. All glass is set flush with the body without moldings, another touch the original designers could only wish for. The car is a genuine two-door hardtop - no B-pillar - with the belt line ramping up assertively at the quarter window just forward of the wide C-pillar.
\r\n\r\nExterior details one might expect, like a racing-type gas cap, hood tie-down pins, louvered backlite and bold bodyside striping, didn’t make the “cut,” the designers feeling such assorted bits would detract from the purity of the monochromatic body form. But tucked reassuringly under the rear bumper are the “gotta have” twin-rectangle pipes of the dual exhausts.
\r\n\r\nIn contrast to the bright Orange Pearl exterior, the interior is a no-nonsense, “let’s-get-in-and-go” black relieved by satin silver accents and narrow orange bands on the seat backs. “Though the 1970 model was looked to for inspiration, we wanted to capture the memory of that car, but expressed in more contemporary surfaces, materials and textures,” said Alan Barrington, principal interior designer. As with the original car, the instrumental panel pad sits high, intersected on the driver’s side by a sculpted trapezoidal cluster containing three circular in-line analog gauge openings.
\r\n\r\n“We designed the in-your-face gauge holes to appear as if you are looking down into the engine cylinders with the head off,” relates Barrington. These are flanked outboard by a larger circular “gauge” that is actually a computer, allowing the driver to determine top overall speed, quarter-mile time and speed, and top speed for each of the gears.
\r\n\r\nWith its thick, easy-grip rim, circular hub and pierced silver spokes, the leather-wrapped steering wheel evokes the original car’s “Tuff” wheel, as does the steering column “ribbing.” The floor console, its center surface tipped toward the driver, is fitted with a proper “pistol grip” shifter shaped just right to master the quick, crisp shifts possible with the six-speed manual “tranny.”
\r\n\r\nInasmuch as the original Challenger was the first car to have injection-molded door trim panels (now common practice), the doors received special attention.
\r\n\r\n“We imagined that the door panel was a billet of aluminum covered with a dark rubberized material,” Barrington relates. “Then we cut into it to create a silver trapezoidal cove for the armrest.”
\r\n\r\nAlthough the flat-section bucket seats of the original Challenger didn’t offer much support for aggressive driving, the front seats in the Challenger concept car boast hefty bolsters much like those found on Dodge’s famed SRT series cars. The trim covers’ horizontal pleats or “fales” provide just a hint of that “70’s” look.
\r\n\r\nRethought, reworked and redesigned, the Challenger concept car offers iconic a HEMI-powered performance coupe derived from a classic American muscle car.

The much-anticipated 2006 Dodge Charger will muscle its way back to streets and racetracks across America early this summer.
\r\n\r\nThe Charger coming off the line and out of garages this year will create a new reputation for the Dodge legend, featuring a modern design to back up its 21st century muscle car power, sports car handling and cutting-edge technology.
\r\n\r\nWith a 250-horsepower High Output V-6 engine or the optional 340-horsepower HEMI® engine powering large 18-inch rear wheels, the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger races into the car market with bold, provocative styling and substance without losing the convenience of a modern sedan.
\r\n\r\n“It’s a car that evokes power and performance under the hood, yet provides everyday functionality and convenience,” said Craig Love, Vice President — Rear-wheel-drive Product Team, Chrysler Group. “We have the proven technologies and the legendary HEMI engine that allow us to produce a modern rear-wheel-drive muscle car.”
\r\n\r\nThe all-new 2006 Dodge Charger features rear-wheel drive with near 50/50 weight distribution and advanced technologies that offer superb ride and responsive handling in all surface and traction conditions.
\r\n\r\nThe Multiple Displacement System (MDS) on the Dodge Charger’s HEMI engine seamlessly deactivates four cylinders in just 40 milliseconds – quicker than a blink of an eye – when full V-8 power is not needed, improving fuel economy by up to 20 percent. The HEMI engine with MDS completed more than 6.5 million customer-equivalent miles through the Chrysler Group’s development and durability testing.
\r\n\r\nThe Dodge Charger’s standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is designed to electronically detect and assist in critical driving situations. It enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability in adverse driving conditions – automatically. ESP constantly compares the driver’s intended course with the vehicle’s actual course and compensates for any differences.
\r\n\r\nESP, combined with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and All-speed Traction Control with Emergency Brake Assist, improves the Dodge Charger’s traction, maneuverability and stability in all weather conditions.
\r\n\r\nThe ABS keeps the car straight and retains steering capability when braking on slippery surfaces by preventing wheel lock-up. All-speed Traction Control enhances mobility and prevents wheel slip when accelerating on slippery surfaces.
\r\n\r\n“With the HEMI V-8 engine and MDS, the new Dodge Charger has more power per cubic inch than its ancestors and provides all the glory of the muscle car era more efficiently than ever before,” said Love. “With modern technology, this Dodge Charger rides securely on the road, stays planted through the corners and stops with assurance.”
\r\n\r\nThe 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine produces 340 horsepower (254 kW) and 390 lb.-ft. (525 N•m) of torque. It offers more power and torque than any Dodge passenger car engine since the legendary 426 HEMI of the ’60s and ’70s. The modern HEMI engine has been engineered to deliver outstanding performance and reduced noise, vibration and harshness, resulting in a highly refined powerplant.
\r\n\r\nAcross the entire Chrysler Group product portfolio, the total HEMI engine take-rate is about 45 percent on vehicles offering the engine. More than 500,000 HEMI-equipped Chrysler Group vehicles have been sold since the new HEMI engine was introduced for the 2003 model year. Products available with the HEMI include: Dodge Ram Pickup, Dodge Durango, Dodge Magnum, Chrysler 300 and Jeep® Grand Cherokee.

The Daytona model also will include large, bright, dual-exhaust tips and 18-inch polished wheels with low-gloss, jet-black painted pockets. The powerful HEMI engine will feature a HEMI-orange engine cover.
\r\n\r\nThe interior of the 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will feature performance front seats with suede inserts and embroidered "Daytona" logos on the front headrests. Body-color accent stitching will appear on the front and rear seats and on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. Matching body-colored center stack bezel, a "Daytona Limited Edition" display on the electronic cluster and a sequentially numbered limited-edition Daytona badge on the instrument panel will complete the unique Dodge Charger Daytona R/T interior.

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T model also will feature dual-zone automatic temperature controls, heated power front seats and power-adjustable pedals.
\r\n\r\nJust in time for the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T launch, Chrysler Group engineers have muscled out even more horsepower from the legendary HEMI engine. The 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will feature a five-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick and a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that offers an estimated 350 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque -- ten more horses than the previous 5.7-liter HEMI -- for even more power in this modern rear-wheel-drive muscle car.
\r\n\r\nChrysler Group engineers developed uniquely tuned intake and exhaust systems to unleash some of the HEMI engine''s untapped power for the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. By using a less restrictive intake system and moving to a straight-through muffler from a three-pass muffler, the newly tuned 5.7-liter HEMI gets a 10-horsepower boost and a throaty, high-performance tone to match.
\r\n\r\nThe HEMI engine''s Multi-displacement System (MDS) provides up to 20 percent improved fuel economy, giving Dodge Charger customers the legendary HEMI power they want with fuel economy they will appreciate.
\r\n\r\nA high-performance suspension package that includes special suspension tuning, 18-inch all-season P235/55 R18 performance tires, performance-tuned 9-land steering gear and Nivomat self-leveling rear shock absorbers will be standard on the Charger Daytona R/T model.

Dakotas are available with rear- or four-wheel drive in three trim levels: ST, SLT and Laramie.
\r\n\r\nFour new editions debut for 2006: TRX, TRX4 Off-Road, R/T and Night Runner. A sunroof is now optional for Quad Cab pickups, Club Cabs have full-swing rear doors, and automatic-transmission modification promises improved gas mileage with the V-6. A new Alpine SoundBox stereo system is optional.
\r\n\r\nClub Cab models have a 6.5-foot bed, while the Quad Cab gets a bed that measures 5 feet 4 inches long. Squared-off styling on the hood, grille and fender edges gives a distinctive look. Laramie models display several chrome pieces that don''t appear on other models.
\r\n\r\nThe new TRX gets unique 16-inch aluminum wheels, painted monotube shocks and tow hooks. The TRX4 Off-Road adds an anti-spin differential, skid plates and an upgraded axle ratio. Dodge describes the Night Runner as "intimidating" with its blacked-out color scheme, which includes black 17-inch chrome wheels. A sport appearance package on the R/T includes a hood scoop, chrome exhaust tips and 17-inch chrome wheels.
\r\n\r\nQuad Cab models can be fitted for six-passenger seating rather than the usual five-passenger capacity. With the 60/40-split rear seats folded, Club Cab storage space totals 30 cubic feet, versus 37.1 cubic feet in the Quad Cab. Club Cab models have forward-facing rear seats and rear-hinged access doors.
\r\n\r\nA 210-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 is standard. Stepping up a notch, the available 4.7-liter V-8 produces 230 hp and 290 pounds-feet of torque. Topping the performance list is a high-output 4.7-liter V-8 that delivers 260 hp and 310 pounds-feet of torque. Transmission choices include a four-speed automatic, five-speed automatic and six-speed manual. Either a part-time or full-time four-wheel-drive transfer case is available.
\r\n\r\nRear-wheel antilock braking is standard; four-wheel ABS is optional. Side curtain-type airbags that protect passengers in both rows of seats are optional.
\r\n\r\nA V-6 Dakota is overtaxed — short on power and sluggish for passing and merging. The V-8s are more suitable on upgrades. After only a slight delay at start-up, the V-8-equipped Dakota delivers a steady, satisfying stream of power. Automatic-transmission shifts are a bit more noticeable than in the V-6 model, but they''re seldom annoying.
\r\n\r\nPerformance with the high-output engine isn''t appreciably quicker than with a regular V-8. When pushed, its automatic transmission slams hard into the next gear. Dodge''s manual gearbox is pickup-truck typical with its slightly mushy feel, but it works with a well-behaved, easy-engaging clutch.
\r\n\r\nFour-wheel-drive versions ride with pleasant smoothness on good pavement. The suspension reacts quickly to bumps and recovers promptly. On narrow two-lane roads, the Dakota maneuvers quite handily and with a satisfying steering feel. Rear occupants in the Quad Cab sit with their knees up and have minimal foot room.

\r\n\r\nTo counteract concerns that the Magnum won''t handle adequately on snow and ice, Dodge includes a standard Electronic Stability Program and standard traction control in SXT and R/T models.
\r\n\r\nA backseat DVD entertainment system with a flip-up screen is optional in 2006 models. Chrysler dealers sell the closely related 300 sedan, which is offered with the same engine choices.
\r\n\r\nSignificantly sportier in shape than most wagons, the Magnum features distinct tapered rear-quarter windows. Big fender flares surround 17- or 18-inch wheels, depending on the trim level. Simple bodyside moldings are installed, and the front fascia features Dodge''s characteristic crosshair grille. Rather than a traditional near-vertical liftgate, the Magnum''s reaches well forward into the roof, which allows the liftgate to rise nearly straight up.
\r\n\r\nFive occupants can fit inside the Magnum, which has a 60/40-split, folding rear seat. Cargo volume totals 27.2 cubic feet with the rear seat up and 71.6 cubic feet with the seat folded. A tri-fold false floor allows extra storage.
\r\n\r\nA standard 2.7-liter V-6 in the base model produces 190 hp, and a 250-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 is optional. Dodge''s 340-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 powers the R/T, which uses a five-speed-automatic transmission with AutoStick for manually selected gear changes. V-6 models can be equipped with a four-speed automatic.
\r\n\r\nAntilock brakes, traction control and an Electronic Stability Program are standard on the R/T and SXT. Side curtain-type airbags are optional.
\r\n\r\nPerformance and handling in the Hemi-powered R/T are essentially the same as in the related Chrysler 300C. The suspension feels tauter, but not by much. Both cars ride comfortably on smooth surfaces. Each has a solid feel and confident handling. Tromping the Magnum''s gas pedal from a standstill can shove occupants back into their seats, though highway-speed acceleration is less ferocious.
\r\n\r\nThe 3.5-liter V-6 performs with satisfying vigor, if a trifle slow at start-off, but it''s a little noisier. Engine noise with the 2.7-liter V-6 is more noticeable but not bothersome, and performance doesn''t fall far short of the bigger V-6. The SXT model clings to the pavement quite well.
\r\n\r\nModels with the Electronic Stability Program behave with surprising confidence on wintry surfaces. However, you sometimes get the feeling that the system has taken over a little too much.
\r\n\r\nBackseat legroom and headroom are plentiful, but the center rider faces a large driveline tunnel. Long, slim quarter windows impair over-the-shoulder views. Even though the innovative liftgate seems handy, shorter people might have trouble closing it. Heavy rain or snow could blow in sideways.

The racing-style chassis incorporates a fully independent suspension and massive brakes.
\r\n\r\nCarpeting for the trunk is new for 2004, and the brake calipers are now painted red. Viper White is a new body color, and a folding tonneau cover is standard.
\r\n\r\nUnlike the previous Viper, which came in roadster and closed-coupe forms, the current model is produced only as a two-passenger convertible. It’s a true convertible, which should please buyers who’ve had first-hand experience with the balky soft roof on earlier Vipers. More than any other model on the market, the Viper SRT-10 represents serious, traditional, American performance centered on a big engine and a lack of frills. Even so, today’s Detroit-built Vipers can be equipped with a number of comfort and convenience features.
\r\n\r\nVipers have flaunted their wild and untamed nature from the beginning, and the current version continues that trend. Styling cues for the 2003 model were taken from the Viper GTS/R concept car unveiled at the 2000 North American International Auto Show. Swept-back fenders, deep-cut side scallops and lowered hood lines resemble the styling cues of the original Viper but give the low-slung roadster a more modern appearance. Dodge installed a belly pan as one of several steps to improve the Viper’s aerodynamics.
\r\n\r\nThe Viper SRT-10’s fabric roof has a fresh profile, but it doesn’t lose the original’s roadster feel. Using a single center latch, the bifold clamshell top is said to operate easily for open-air driving. The front tires measure 18 inches in diameter, while P345/30ZR19 rear tires are mounted on forged-aluminum wheels that are 13 inches wide.

This stunning new all-aluminum two-seater is summed up rather succinctly by its own name and delivers everything that this promises. Fiorano after the circuit Ferrari uses to hone the performance of its track and road cars; GTB as in Gran Turismo Berlinetta after the most famous Ferrari berlinettas ever built; and 599 to reflect the displacement of its V12 engine divided by 10.
\r\n\r\nThe Ferrari 599 GTB was designed with several specific objectives in mind: to surpass the intense driving pleasure of such renowned models as the F40, to guarantee stunning performance courtesy of its highly innovative content and technology transfers from the F1 single-seaters, and to deliver superior standards of roominess, comfort, ergonomics and safety. The result is the absolute pinnacle of achievement in terms of thoroughbred Ferrari sportiness and technology.
\r\n\r\nThe 599 GTB Fiorano is a strikingly sculptural car. The design is so supple, in fact, that each new angle brings something new to light. Its forms say it all about its extreme sportiness yet still retain a unique sophistication.
\r\n\r\nA balance has been struck in the interior between the car''s sporty vocation and the feeling of intimacy and safety that only skilled hand-crafting and detailed personalization can achieve. The passenger areas of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano are trimmed in sumptuous leather while the driver area and controls boast more high-tech detailing in carbon-fiber and aluminum.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to the steering wheel and manettino, the central rev counter with a choice of red or yellow background and solid aluminum passenger controls, the new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano also boasts attractive new styling cues including a central grip to provide extra support for the passenger and new adaptive racing seats featuring carbon-fiber side rests. Other standard accessories include front bi-xenon headlamps and rear LED lights, dusk and rain sensors, dual-zone climate control, electrically adjustable steering-wheel column, hideaway radio/CD player and key with integrated volumetric anti-theft device with motion sensors.
\r\n\r\nThe Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano also benefits from an already vast choice of personalization options available for every Ferrari model. Four areas are covered by this program: Racing and Track, Exteriors and Colors, Interior and Materials, Equipment and Travel.
\r\n\r\nInterior and Materials options include a new Enzo Ferrari-inspired carbon-fiber steering wheel with LED rev display which can be specified along with a special carbon-fiber trim kit for the door panels, instrument panel, gear stick surround and sill kick panels. Various types of leather trim are also available for the seats and interior too. Travel and Equipment accessories include front and rear parking sensors, iPod-friendly set-up, satellite anti-theft system and a luggage set specially tailored to fit this model.
\r\n\r\nThe technical specification of the engine speaks for itself: 366 cu in displacement, a specific power output of 103 bhp/liter (a first for a naturally aspirated production engine of this displacement).
\r\n\r\nTwin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank boast continuously variable timing on both inlet and exhaust cams to optimize torque delivery and drivability at both low and high revs. A twin-plate, low inertia clutch in unit with the engine also helps lower the centre of gravity. Chain driven distribution reduces noise and is maintenance-free. The Fiorano''s engine delivers a maximum torque of 446 lb-ft at 5,600 rpm and means that the car pulls well at all engine speeds. The new model''s breathtaking sportiness is due in part to record maximum revs for an engine of this displacement (apart from the Enzo). Its maximum power output is 620 bhp at 7,600 rpm with a maximum engine speed of 8,400 rpm. Particular attention was also paid to fuel consumption which is the same as in the previous model, under similar use, despite a significant leap in performance. Development work for the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano also focused specifically on the distinctive sound the engine makes, reducing mechanical resonance in favor of a pure V12 soundtrack from both the intake manifold and the exhaust system. This not only enhances driving pleasure but makes for a quieter ride inside the cabin itself.

The Italian GT championship will also kick off this weekend with the Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione 2005 and the 550 Maranello appearing in the main class and the 360 GTC in the N-GT category.
\r\n\r\nIt will be the debut race for the modified 575 GTC. The Ferrari Corse Clienti department has made changes to the original version with the collaboration of the technical GT head, Maurizio Nardon. The aerodynamics were completely revised with the addition of a new splitter and air intake on the modified bonnet. These changes improve internal air flow. The engine has been totally redesigned and, together with the new cooling tank, results in greater power and better handling. The current torque curve guarantees improved power management and the work on the steering column means that the new car is easier to point into curves and performs more smoothly when in them.
\r\n\r\nThe tests on the 575 GTC Evoluzione 2005 were carried out by the Brazilian driver Jaime Melo. The model is destined to be used by private teams competing in various GT series.
\r\n\r\nThe 575 GTC is aimed at private teams participating in the FIA GT championship and will make its debut at the end of the 2003 season. It will also appear in other Granturismo series like the American IMSA and GrandAm series. The `C´ in the name stands for `competizione ´.
\r\n\r\nThe 575 GTC is the racing version of the 575M Maranello. In order to cope with the demands of the track, it is equipped with even more technological advances than the superb road version .
\r\n\r\nThe displacement of the 65° V12 has been increased to 5,997cc with a maximum power output of close to 605 bhp, and the car boasts a sequential shift. The track has been widened, the brakes increased in size and, thanks to the use of composite materials, the body has been lightened. The tubular steel chassis features boxed sections and the all-round wishbone suspension features adjustable antidive geometry.
\r\n\r\nThe car has a split rear wing with a nolder. This set up is the fruit of extensive aerodynamic research in the wind tunnel, something that was also carried out for the adjustable front spoiler and the undertray with its rear extractor.

In fact, the engine is described by the new numerical code, 575, as this is an abbreviated indication of its capacity, increased from 5500 to 5750 cc, resulting in an increase in both power and torque. The letter M, an abbreviation of ''modified,'' underlines the fact that changes have been wrought to all areas of the model''s performance. Key amongst these, apart from the engine is the introduction of an F1 type gearbox, first time on a 12 cylinder Ferrari road car.
\r\n\r\nWhen it came to looking at the style of the vehicle, the thinking behind it is to retain the balance and sober looks, which invested it with the status of an instant classic, fitting in perfectly with Ferrari''s return to a front engine high performance car. Modifications were limited to those required to deal with the technical changes: different shape and size for the air intakes in the new front end of the car, with refinement of the aerodynamic and fluid-dynamic efficiency and a new treatment for the front spoiler. Finally, the light clusters have been redesigned to produce a new aesthetic, with colour-coded headlamp bodies and grey surround, combined with xenon technology for the dipped beam, with headlamp washers. The wheels are also a new design. On the aerodynamic front, the final iteration brings improved airflow around the wheels and there are small elements which reduce drag, while every detail of the floor has been designed to generate downforce while reducing drag.
\r\n\r\nThe 12 cylinder engine in the 575M Maranello, maintains the 65 degree V angle, four overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, the light alloy block, heads and oil tank and the dry sump lubrication system, with two scavenge pumps and one sender pump, separate reservoir and individual radiators. The objectives fixed for the new V12 engine in the 575M Maranello were to increase both the power curve as well as the torque. It now has a maximum power output of 515 CV (379 Kw) at 7250 rpm and maximum torque of 60 Kgm at 5250 rpm (588.6 Nm,) with an increase in mid-range torque of 1.5 Kgm between 1000 and 4000 rpm, when compared to the previous engine fitted to the 550 Maranello. These increases in performance across the board have been achieved through a variety of modifications applied to the 12 cylinder. In particular these are an increase in capacity, a higher compression ratio, new fluid dynamics for the intakes and more general changes aimed at improving the efficiency and the management system of the power unit.
\r\n\r\nThe optimum weight distribution, with a 50-50 split between the axles, with the driver on-board, has been achieved thanks to a transaxle design which features a combined rear mounted gearbox and differential unit with conical torque and autolocking differential in the same unit. The transmission on the new 575M Maranello is also fitted with the electro-hydraulic ''F1'' control unit mounted at the rear of the car, in order to minimise response time and to ensure a favourable operating temperature. The F1 gearchange on the 575M Maranello has been refined in order to produce maximum efficiency from the use of the manual levers mounted on the back of the steering wheel, as this gives the best response for sports driving. The driver has two main ways of changing gear manually via the console-mounted controls: a more sporty change (Sport) or one aimed at a more relaxed driving style. Both are linked to an analogue control of the suspension damping. The principal benefits of the F1 change on the 575M Maranello are a quicker gear change coupled with the control of the damping when gears are selected. Along with the manual F1 change, which Ferrari has produced as the primary use of the electro-actuated transmission, there are two further options which can be selected: automatic and low grip.
\r\n\r\nAs for the chassis, one of the factors which has the biggest impact on the car''s road-holding is the new adaptive set-up, based on a system of independently controlled damping at all four corners of the car. The system selects the ideal ride height for any condition, with two choices: Sport, which is selected for a more sporty ride, improving traction: Comfort, which gives a more comfortable ride, absorbing road bumps. The braking has also been modified to cope with the increased performance of the vehicle, especially in terms of avoiding fade and improving response under braking. Changes have centred on improving cooling for the brakes with new pad material (Ferodo HP1000;) reduction in brake pedal effort and an increase in the level of assistance from the servo system, and the ABS/ASR system has been uprated from 5.0 to 5.3. As with the rest of the Ferrari range, the electronic traction control can be set between normal and Sport. The unsprung weight has been optimised in the following way: the ABS/ASR sensors are integrated into the wheel bearings and the weight of the tyres and rims has been reduced. These changes have seen the weight of the complete front wheel come down by 1.8 kg and that of the rear by 1.2 kg. The tyres have also evolved and now produce less rolling noise, are longer lasting and perform better in aquaplaning situations. Furthermore, a new tyre, available as an option, has now been produced in a 19 inch size, which is suitable for more extreme performance with improved lateral and longitudinal grip. The 575M Maranello is also fitted with tyre pressure sensors, which mean that tyre pressures can be checked while the car is on the move.
\r\n\r\nThe interior of the 575M Maranello has been extensively revised, in order to make it more sporty and functional. In keeping with the car''s increased performance, the aim has been to improve the efficiency of how the driver controls the car. All the dials have been grouped together in one single pod ahead of the driver, with the rev counter in the centre. The seats are new, with six electronic adjustments and driver position memory. The dashboard and centre tunnel have also been redesigned. Also new are the steering wheel, the door trims and the style of the interior components. The 575M Maranello can also be specified to the customer''s requirements by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, which allows customers to chose their own styling, equipment and alter the functionality of the vehicle to suit their personal taste, with racing and track options, exterior changes and colours, the treatment of the interior and choice of materials and equipment.

\r\n\r\nThe Superamerica is the first production car to adopt an innovative rotating roof movement in combination with electrochromic technology developed exclusively for glass surfaces of these dimensions, with Saint Gobain.
\r\n\r\nThe Fioravanti-patented rotating roof concept allows the Superamerica driver to electrically drop the top in 10 seconds flat, making it the world''s fastest convertible berlinetta (320 Km/h top speed).
\r\n\r\nDerived from the 575M Maranello, the Superamerica is available with either an F1-style or manual gearbox. Its big 12-cylinder engine has been boosted to deliver 540 hp too. The new car can also be fitted with the GTC Handling package which offers Ferrari''s very latest high-tech features including carbon ceramic brakes.
\r\n\r\nThe Superamerica''s unusual electric roof has been dubbed Revocromico to highlight the unique combination of its rearward rotation movement and electrochromic technology. It has a carbon-fibre structure and the boot capacity remains unchanged whether the roof is open or closed too. The glass rear window also acts as a highly effective wind deflector when the roof is open.
\r\n\r\nThe use of electrochromic glass means that the driver can completely control the level of light entering the cockpit. There are five tint levels available and the glass can go from dark to light in under a minute, at the touch of a button.

Otherwise, the body benefits from clean lines with little ostentation.
\r\n\r\nOverall, the new coupe displays a teardrop profile — especially at the cockpit, which sits considerably farther back than usual. The engine sits behind the front axle, and the gearbox and differential are mounted at the rear. Front and rear overhangs are short.
\r\n\r\nMoving the cockpit, fuel tank and battery rearward helped produce what Ferrari calls very normative weight distribution: specifically, 46 percent at the front and 54 percent at the rear, which is surprising for a front-engine automobile.
\r\n\r\nA low, mouth-shaped grille contains horizontal bars and Ferrari''s famed prancing horse logo in the center. Integrated headlight covers blend neatly into the front fenders, which flank a long hood. Built on a 116.1-inch wheelbase, the 612 Scaglietti is 193 inches long overall and stands 52.9 inches tall. The front tires measure P245/45ZR18, while the rear ones are sized P285/40ZR19.

\r\n\r\nOften finished in traditional red and devoid of brightwork, the F430 body barely clears the ground. Four round taillights sit high on the deck, flanking a relatively subtle spoiler. Four exhaust outlets poke out near the bottom edges.
\r\n\r\nBuilt on a 102.4-inch wheelbase, the F430 measures 177.6 inches long overall, 75.7 inches wide and 47.8 inches tall. The front track width is a sizable 65.7 inches.

The F430 Challenge retains the same general look and 490 hp engine as the road-going version. However, it also incorporates a large number of significant track-oriented modifications and a host of new features not seen in the car currently used in the series, the 360 Challenge, which it joins on the track next season and completely replaces in 2007.
\r\n\r\nAn intensive series of development tests held at Fiorano and other prestigious circuits have honed the F430 Challenge''s talents too. In fact, it offers a stunning series of features sure to meet with the approval of its drivers. As ever, the transfer from Formula 1 is significant, particularly with regard to the braking system which uses carbon-ceramic material (CCM) – a first for a Ferrari sports competition car.
\r\n\r\nThe electronic gearbox is also F1-derived and works in exactly the same way as the one used aboard the Grand Prix car. Thanks to a sinterised two-plate clutch and specific software, it also offers the same gear-changing times as the road-going F430 (150 ms) in the much more extreme track conditions. Fifth and sixth gear ratios have also been modified with respect to the road-going version as has the final drive ration order to make the very most of the engine on all the circuits where the F430 Challenge will race.
\r\n\r\nNew 19'''' slick tyres were also developed specifically by Pirelli and are designed to comply with the very strict racing regulations that demand endurance whilst still delivering blistering performance.
\r\n\r\nThe F430 Challenge boasts a kerb weight of just 1,225 kg (excluding petrol). Weight has been reduced in every area of the car, from the engineering to the bodywork. Of particular note are the Lexan® windscreen, the all-carbon fibre intake plenum cover, and the specific exhaust system. To ensure that drivers get the full benefit of the car''s sporty prowess on the track, the E-Diff has been replaced by a mechanical differential and the EBD has been replaced with a mechanical system.
\r\n\r\nSimilarly, the stability and traction control is permanently disengaged and ''race'' settings have been maintained on the gearbox and engine management system, along with the ABS and ASR, thus doing away with the manettino switch. The ASR can be deactivated by the driver at will.
\r\n\r\nThe most notable of the other solutions introduced in the new F430 Challenge is the new steering wheel with a quick release mechanism to make it easier to get into and out of the car. The wheel is also equipped with buttons for radio contact with the pits, to set the pit lane speed and interface with the new colour digital instrument panel. The rear of the car is characterised by a new exhaust system which has high central tail pipes, and by the modified grille which increases the extraction of hot air from the rear of the engine bay. The anti-roll bars, springs and single-rate shocks have all been modified for racing use too. The centre locking wheels make wheel changes faster too as does the fact that the car incorporates pneumatic jacks.

\r\n\r\nThe FXX is powered by an imposing 6,262 cc V12 engine that can punch out over 800 bhp at 8,500 rpm. Its gearbox is the result of the transfer of F1 strategies, delivering gear change times of under 100 ms. This is almost as fast as the F1 single-seaters, themselves the absolute pinnacle of current technological achievement.
\r\n\r\nAfter a careful client order selection process, the first FXXs will be delivered by the end of this year. The initial testing of the definitive car is currently taking place at Fiorano. The FXX and the relative package cost a total of 1,500,000 euro (excluding taxes) (approx. $1,790,000) and applications to join the programme are being evaluated by a special in-house committee.

The car is a one-off commissioned by James Glickenhaus, the American collector with a yen for the legendary racing cars of the Sixties.
\r\n\r\n“This project – comments Andrea Pininfarina, Pininfarina S.p.A. Chairman and CEO - represents an exciting challenge, i.e. trying to meet the Customer’s requests in the best way possible without deteriorating the company’s approach based on stylishness and innovation”.
\r\n\r\nThe car has been designed, engineered and built entirely by Pininfarina, bringing to life something that, just a few months earlier, was just a dream and creating a sort of symbiosis between the customer and Pininfarina along the path leading to definition of this astonishing model. Starting from a Ferrari Enzo, the aim was to produce a sole vehicle inspired by sport racing cars with extreme vocations: not just a show-car but a vehicle to be enjoyed on the road.
\r\n\r\nAfter freezing styling with various touch-ups to the initial sketches, the surfaces were defined using CAS modeling, then moving on to actual construction and assembly. More than 200 components were specifically developed through constant interaction between styling and design: from the bi¬xenon lighting clusters specifically designed with an innovative system of yellow and white leds to the alloy wheels – 20-inch aluminum – milled from the block up to and including the aluminum and special steel in-sight hinges.
\r\n\r\nThe sleek lines of the vehicle, characterized by a soft muscular touch, took shape on the body – made entirely of carbon fiber. The tapered profile of the nose highlights both its aerodynamic function and the car’s new look; the central body is dominated by the single-shell windscreen, while the car is accessed via two butterfly type doors. The rear features powerful sides with the embedded teardrop type transparent rear window which also acts as engine cover and from which ceramic-coated exhaust tips peep out, as on racing cars of the Sixties. “The entire vehicle – stresses Ken Okuyama, Director of Pininfarina Styling – expresses elegance and fluidity with the clear-cut, uncluttered lines that are typical of Pininfarina’s style.
\r\n\r\nConsiderable attention has been dedicated to aerodynamics with continuous testing at the Pininfarina Aerodynamic and Aero-acoustic Research Center of Grugliasco (Turin, Italy) in an effort to reach the highest levels of performance combined with perfect functionality of all the appendices integrated in the body of the vehicle.
\r\n\r\nIt is important to stress how re-styling was not restricted only to the outside of the car but continued also when defining the interior, completely redesigned according to the customer’s indications.
\r\n\r\n“Pininfarina has been a strong stakeholder on the automotive scene for many years, as confirmed by the five new productions launched between the end of 2005 and 2006: Alfa Romeo Spider, Mitsubishi Colt CZC and Ford Focus CC for which we also followed up design and development, and Alfa Romeo Brera and Volvo C70 which we also engineered. The Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina and the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti “K” by Pininfarina – built for Mr. Kalikow and presented in April at Villa d’Este Concours d’Elegance - give us a chance to demonstrate our excellent creativity, making our know-how available to special customers in order to provide a real personal experience that goes well beyond simply the possibility of designing their own car” concludes Andrea Pininfarina.

The 360 Spider will line up alongside the berlinetta version that was launched at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show, exactly a year ago, and which received world wide acclaim.
\r\n\r\nStyled by Pininfarina, it is one of the fastest and most powerful Ferrari Spiders ever produced in Maranello and has a fully-automatic electric hood that folds away into the bodywork.
\r\n\r\nPowered by a normally aspirated 400hp, 3.6-litre, V8 in 900 cylinder aluminium engine, the 360 Spider will be offered with the second-generation of the highly successful Fl-type six-speed longitudinal gearbox, as well as the conventional manual transmission.
\r\n\r\nWith the Spider, the Ferrari range will comprise of 4 models: the two 12-cylinder front engine and rear-wheel drive 456M GT/A and 550 Maranello; and the two 8-cylinder mid-engined 360 Modena and the 360 Spider. Deliveries for the Spider are anticipated in the third quarter of 2000.

The nose section of the Ferrari Enzo is heavily influenced by Formula 1 and the entire body is shaped to ensure optimum airflow for cooling the engine and brakes, while generating unprecedented levels of grip-enhancing downforce with minimal aerodynamic drag.
\r\n\r\nThe under-car ground effects are so efficient that the large rear wing required by many supercars is not needed on a Ferrari Enzo. The aerodynamic balance of the car is maintained at speed by automatic adjustments to the position of twin front flaps and a single rear spoiler.
\r\n\r\nThe under-car ground effects are so efficient that the large rear wing required by many supercars is not needed on a Ferrari Enzo. The aerodynamic balance of the car is maintained at speed by automatic adjustments to the position of twin front flaps and a single rear spoiler.
\r\n\r\nThe Enzo is powered by a new, ultra-light, 6.0-litre V12 engine, which has a number of unique technical features. The performance goals for the engine were very high power – 110 bhp per litre – with generous torque from low revs and a driveable nature. More than 383 lb-ft of torque is generated at 3,000 rpm and variable inlet and exhaust valves, together with electronic management for each row of cylinders and a drive-by-wire throttle, ensures that the engine is extremely responsive.
\r\n\r\nLike an F1 car, the gearbox in the Enzo is coupled directly to the rear of the engine by a casting that doubles as the engine oil tank. The six-speed gearbox adopts triple cone synchronizers on all ratios to ensure smooth changes, which are entrusted entirely to an electrohydraulic system activated by the driver using paddles behind the steering wheel. A fully automatic option is not offered.
\r\n\r\nThe new three-spoke, 350 mm diameter steering wheel has a flat-top complete with a row of LEDs indicating engine revs and three controls each side of the air-bag linked to the main car control functions. Grouping essential controls around the steering wheel grip leaves more room for the twin paddles behind the wheel, which operate the electronic gear selection. The view through the wheel is dominated by a central rev-counter, flanked by the 250 mph (400 km/h) speedometer and a graphic screen on which a variety of displays can be called up.
\r\n\r\nBuyers will be invited to the Ferrari factory to have the cockpit of their car tailored to their specific needs. There will be a choice of four width fittings for both the cushion and backrest of the leather trimmed multi-adjustable Sparco seats. The position of the accelerator and brake pedals can be adjusted fore and aft – and sideways to accommodate drivers who prefer to use left-foot braking.

The convertible has a power-operated top. Options include xenon headlamps, adaptive cruise control and a DVD-based navigation system. A Victory Edition package offers unique trim and badging, along with a choice of four exclusive paint colors.
\r\n\r\nAll Jaguar XK models get a smooth 4.2-liter V8 engine rated for 294 horsepower and 303 pound-feet of torque. A standard six-speed automatic transmission routes power to the rear wheels. Fuel economy is good for a V8-powered car -- expect about 18 mpg in the city and up to 26 mpg on the highway.
\r\n\r\nThe XK''s cockpit has an opulent ambience with supple leather used on the seats, center console, door panels and steering wheel. The leather is matched up with extensive inlays of wood, along with various plastic panels that seem more suited to a Ford than a Jaguar. Occupants will find plenty of room to stretch out in front, but the small rear seats are designed more for shopping bags than real people.
\r\n\r\nThe 4.2-liter V8 offers plenty of acceleration in just about any situation, and the six-speed automatic delivers smooth shifts without fail. The double-wishbone suspension provides a luxurious, well-controlled ride that is perfect for highway cruising.

The result is that the Maserati GranSport has a Cx of 0.33, one of the very best in its category. An almost total absence of oversteer and improved front-wheel drivability and precision make it very easy to handle too and ensure that drivers will be able to really put it and themselves through their paces in complete safety.\r\n\r\nWork on the new model’s aerodynamics has led to the addition of newbumpers. The front one, in fact, has a very pronounced lower spoiler with side bars elegantly integrated into the body itself, while the luggage compartment deck has been given a discreet yet equally efficientspoiler lip. The new aerodynamic features associated with the fact that the set-up is now 10 mm lower, result in a two point improvement in the Cx value and translate into clear benefits for the driver. In fact, the Maserati GranSport offers a truly blistering drive, thanks to its direct, precise steering and excellent stability at high speeds.\r\n\r\nThe traditional Trident elegance is there too in the classic chrome grille reminiscent of the Quattroporte’s. The grilles over the air vents on the rear bumper are chrome too. The Maserati GranSport’s sporty look is completed by new 19” wheels inspired by the ones sported by the cars in the Maserati Trofeo Championship, with spokes forming a very attractive Trident\r\n\r\nThe Maserati GranSport’s normally aspirated 4,244 cm3 V8 has all the structure of the most advanced racing engines with dry sump lubrication and twin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank with four valves per cylinder hydraulic tappets. The intake cams also feature variable phase timing.\r\n\r\nIts maximum power delivery has been upped from the original 390 hp to 400 hp too, thanks to special development work to reduce internal attrition and careful work on the intake manifolds and valve seats. The engine has been combined with a sports exhaust system that is instantly recognisable, thanks to the unusual design of its twin chrome exhausts and was designed to give enthusiasts that instantly recognisable deep, full-bodied rumble. Thanks to an electronically controlled pneumatic valve system, even more can be made of the exhaust by pressing the “Sport“ button on the central console too.\r\n\r\nThe Maserati GranSport is available only with the six-speed electro-hydraulic transmission in which the gears are changed using paddles mounted behind the steering wheel, a feature that further enhances the car’s sporty personality. The Cambiocorsa systems allows drivers to choose between various gear shifting modes (Normal, Sport, Automatic and Low Grip), and in the case of the Maserati GranSport , is controlled by specific software. Even with respect to already very highly developed Coupé Cambiocorsa system, the Sport mode in the GranSport offers 35% faster gear changing on average and also boasts automatic heeling and toeing to make dropping down a gear even faster. Thanks to the new Cambiocorsa software, the Maserati GranSport can sprint a whole kilometre from standstill in a breathtaking 23 seconds flat.\r\n\r\nThe gear shift ratios are specific too, with the adoption of a sixth gear that is 5% longer, which, in combination with its more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics, allows the Maserati GranSport to improve on the already blistering speeds of the Coupé, delivering a dizzying top speed of 290 Km/h.\r\n\r\nAs with the other models in the Maserati range, the driver can choose between two levels of gear changing. Normal mode is more comfortable and typical of Grand Tourer driving, while with a touch of the Sport button on the central console they get to feel the true power of the car. The Sport mode delivers much faster gear changing, a deeper exhaust sound and less invasive use of the MSP stability and traction control system. The optional Skyhook suspension system, which offers continuous damping control, is also affected by the driver’s choice of Normal or Sport modes. For more comfort-oriented driving, there is even an Auto button which puts the gears in full automatic mode so that the driver need do nothing more than sit back enjoy the thrilling experience of driving a Maserati. However, the Sport function can still be activated in this mode.\r\n\r\nNeedless to say, the Maserati GranSport boasts all of the many excellent technological and safety features offered by the Maserati Grand Tourers, but with some very important refinements. The car has the same sophisticated set-up as the Coupé Cambiocorsa: a Transaxle layout with the gearbox rear-mounted in unit with the differential, stability and traction control (MSP) integrating ABS, ASR, MSR and EBD functions, which the driver can deactivate if desired, independent front and rear suspension with double wishbone geometry, which can be integrated with the Skyhook system on request, the Skyhook adaptive damping system which instantly adapts the damper calibrations to suit the driving and road conditions and allows the driver to choose between two different settings (Normal and Sport).\r\n\r\nThe fact that the set-up has been lowered by 10 mm and the adoption of the 19” wheels and tyres with a specific profile (front 235/35 19”, rear 265/30 19”), characterised by a smaller slip angle, have lowered the centre of gravity and hardened the set-up of Maserati GranSport, making it even more agile and responsive to the steering wheel.\r\n\r\nThe Brembo brakes with alloy titanium-coloured four-piston callipers with differentiated diameters and large ventilated cross-drilled discs (front 330 mm; rear310 mm), also further enhance the dynamic characteristics of the car.\r\n\r\nThe GranSport’s interior reflects its brilliant personality both in terms of aesthetics and functionality, yet also exudes the elegant good taste and luxurious comfort of a Trident Grand Tourer. The dashboard, body-hugging seats, tunnel, thick rimmed steering wheel, impressive materials (leather, carbon fibre, alloy, high tech fabric) all combine to create an attractively sporty ambience too.\r\n\r\nThe Maserati GranSport’s dashboard boasts excellent specialist trim and central console options. The upper part of the dash is trimmed in leather, while the central area, framed by the car-coloured piping strip, is trimmed in a special high tech fabric originally developed for nautical use and available in Nero (Black), Grigio Nickel (Nickel Grey) or Blu Metal (Metal Blue). This is a double layered material which is not only very attractive but also non-slip and extremely hard-wearing, making it ideal for trimming the central area of sports seats and the lower rim of the steering wheel.\r\n\r\nThe front seats are designed for high lateral containment, and guarantee maximum driver contact with the car for perfect control. They were developed with the help of the Maserati test drivers in line with the strictest ergonomic principles with the aim of combining sporty characteristics and excellent seat comfort for perfect, long distance driving. This is why the seats are also fully power adjustable and can, on request, be supplied with a heating option and memorised settings on the driver’s side.\r\n\r\nThe carbon, leather-trimmed tunnel separates the two front seats. It contains the Cambiocorsa control selector and the secondary commands, each one of which is set into an elegant chrome surround.\r\n\r\nThe main control buttons, including the blue Start button, on the other hand, are grouped together on the central console near the driver. The climate control and CD player buttons are also set in a carbon feature on the central console.\r\n\r\nAny driver lucky enough to get his hands on the three-spoke steering wheel of the Maserati GranSport will appreciate the work that has been done to mould the rim (trimmed in perforated leather, carbon and technical fabric) to offer improved ergonomic grip. All of the car’s functions are arranged on the instrument binnacle which boasts sporty white graphics on a Maserati navy blue background.\r\n\r\nThe Maserati GranSport is available in the six sportiest colours in the Maserati range, each one of which can be combined with various interior options. Owners can choose from the classic Giallo Granturismo (Grand Tourer Yellow) and Rosso Mondiale (World Championship Red) or, alternatively between the metallic Nero Carbonio (Carbon Black), Blu Mediterraneo (Mediterranean Blue) and Grigio Touring (Touring Grey). The sixth colour choice recently added to the range is Bianco Fuji (Fuji White), an original pearl white with the unusual depth typical of three-coat pearlescent paints. This is the starting point from which the Officine Alfieri Maserati programme can be used to include a vast array of other personalisation options regarding the colours of the interior trim leather, fabric as well as technical or comfort-oriented features, such as: Xenon headlights, Skyhook suspension, Mercury Grey and Ball-Polished options for the wheels, carbon interior and exterior components, GPS and GSM telephone module controlled from the radio unit, and a six-disc CD Changer, to mention but a few.'); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1304, '2003 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa', 'Maserati', '4.2 L V8', '4244.00 cc | 259 cu in. | 4.2 L.', '390.00 BHP (287 KW) @ 7000.00 RPM', '333.00 Ft-Lbs (451.5 NM) @ 4500.00 RPM', '7600 rpm', 'ABS disc brakes', 'Front : 235/40 ZR 18 and Rear : 265/35 ZR 18', '4303.001 mm | 169.4 in.', '1630 kg | 3594.2 lbs', '4.7 seconds', '176 mph', '(11 / 17)', '$94,972', 'maserati10.jpg', 0, 2, 'Both Maserati models are powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine that develops 390 horsepower. Both also use a six-speed transmission, but it is the actuation of those gears that is interesting. A straight manual is offered, but the cars we had an opportunity to drive had what Maserati calls Cambiocorsa transmissions.\r\n\r\nCambiocorsa is similar-to-nearly-identical to the shifters used in Formula 1 racing. Paddles are located behind the steering wheel to shift up (right paddle) or down (left paddle). There is a learning curve to remember how to shift into neutral and first, for example, but once you''ve been in the car for a short while the shifting is effortless. The car even "double clutches" on downshifts - automatically. Cambiocorsa is also adaptive, so if you choose to drive the car hard, it will shift hard for you. If you just poke along, it will poke along with you.\r\n\r\nThere''s also an "auto" mode that can be actuated by a button on the center console. This puts it in automatic mode, although Maserati won''t admit to having an automatic transmission. Again, the transmission adapts to your driving style, and upshifts and downshifts at appropriate points. The indicator on the dash that tells you what gear you''re in with the paddles, also indicates which gear you''re in with the "auto" mode, something you don''t get with Tiptronic-style shifters. Maserati also claims that Cambiocorsa is faster than Tiptronic.\r\n\r\nTo get into reverse, there''s a small shifter in the console. It almost appears too small, but it''s very similar to the shifter in a Ferrari, so I guess it''s okay.\r\n\r\nWith 390 horses under the hood, there''s no question that the Maserati is powerful. The Coupe can attain a top speed of 177 mph, while the Spyder is slightly slower. Both speeds are unattainable in normal driving in the U.S.\r\n\r\nThe driver and front passengers it in individual power buckets that are extremely comfortable.

Dunlop provides the corresponding high- performance tires in sizes 275/40 R 21 on the front axle and 315/35 R 21 in the rear.\r\n\r\nThe BRABUS air suspension module lowers the ride height of the Maybach by some 15 millimeters without any negative effects on the unique ride comfort.\r\n\r\nBRABUS refines the elegant lines of the Maybach with more than just large wheels and a lowered ride height. The front of the sedan is upgraded with two auxiliary headlights that operate as daytime running lights. They are integrated into the standard front apron.\r\n\r\nExclusive BRABUS lighting design is also present in the sides and the rear of the Maybach: Via the keyless-entry remote LED lights integrated into the body are activated and illuminate the ground on either side and behind the luxury sedan to prevent stepping into a hole or puddle in the dark.\r\n\r\nMaximum comfort paired with state-of-the-art multimedia technology: BRABUS also adds new and even more exclusive highlights to the interior. The BRABUS interior designers created an interior crafted from the finest leathers and Alcantara, further refined with ornamental seams in contrasting colors. More than 1.2 kilometers of the finest thread are used in the waffle-design leather upholstery of the driveshaft tunnel alone. BRABUS floor mats made from the finest sheepskin complete the interior.\r\n\r\nIn addition the BRABUS engineers developed a number of interesting new features for the standard entertainment system of the Maybach. The 16:9 monitors color monitors of the BRABUS package, integrated into the back of the front seats, measure 15.2 inches (standard: 9 inches).\r\n\r\nAt the push of a button the Maybach is transformed into a luxurious office on wheels: The monitors display the signal of an integrated computer, custom-developed for use in a car and equipped with an 80 Gigabyte hard drive. The computer is connected to the internet via UMTS. An easy-to-manage wireless keyboard and optical gyro mouse ensure comfortable operation.\r\n\r\nA USB 2.0 port, stylishly integrated into the center console, allows connecting peripherals such as a printer or digital camera. To remain online even after exiting the vehicle the BRABUS communication specialists integrated an IBM X Series notebook computer in an electrically operated drawer in the trunk. The computer is connected with the PC network of the car using a W-LAN.

Refining such a luxury sedan is very special and therefore BRABUS uses only its very best engineers, technicians, designers and upholsterers to work on this project.\r\n\r\nBRABUS adds even more new, exclusive highlights to the interior of the luxury sedan. The interior designers from BRABUS created an interior crafted from the finest leather and Alcantara, further enhanced by color-contrasted decorative seams.

The notebook is also connected via W-LAN to the car`s computer network.\r\n\r\nAn additional 6-disc DVD changer rounds out the BRABUS interior for the Maybach.\r\n\r\nExternally a Maybach refined by BRABUS can be distinguished by its custom-tailored BRABUS Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels with 21-inch diameter. The fully polished multi- piece wheels with six double spokes fill out the wheel houses of the Maybach perfectly. The rims come in size 9.5Jx21 on the front axle and in size 11Jx21 in the rear axle. Dunlop contributes high-performance tires in size 285/40 R 21 on the front axle and in size 325/35 R 21 in the rear.\r\n\r\nThe BRABUS air suspension unit lowers the ride height of the Maybach by about 15 millimeters without compromising its unique ride comfort.\r\n\r\nBRABUS further refines the elegant lines of the Maybach with two auxiliary headlights integrated stylishly into the production front apron using two precise-fitting inserts. The auxiliary headlights function as daytime running lights.\r\n\r\nIts 550-hp / 405-kW twelve-cylinder bi-turbo engine makes the Maybach a powerful car ex factory. BRABUS makes the sedan even more superior with the BRABUS SV12 bi-turbo increased-displacement engine using the tried and proven method of increasing displacement, in this case from standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters.\r\n\r\nTo facilitate the increase in displacement BRABUS fits the engine with a special crankshaft with longer stroke, precision-balanced piston rods and larger pistons. In addition the bore is increased and the cylinder heads are re-machined. Also part of the conversion are custom camshafts, newly programmed engine electronics and an exhaust system with metal catalysts, and dual oval-shaped exhaust tips.\r\n\r\nAfter the conversion the twelve-cylinder bi-turbo engine delivers a maximum power output of 640 hp / 471 kW at 5,100 rpm and a gigantic peak torque of 1,026 Nm, available from 1,750 rpm.\r\n\r\nPerformance of the luxury sedan benefits accordingly: With BRABUS SV 12 engine the Maybach 57 accelerates bin just 4.9 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h. Top speed is an electronically limited 300 km/h. BRABUS exclusively uses ARAL high-performance lubricants in engine, automatic transmission and rear-axle differential.

The Maybach Zeppelin models rank among the few cars in the international top class. They are highly luxurious, extremely lavish in their engineering and attainable only for a chosen few, not only on account of the small series in which these splendid cars are built.” (Allgemeine Automobilzeitung 1933, no. 35).\r\n\r\nThe Maybach Zeppelin DS 8, model year 1932, with chassis number 1387, and today owned by the Mercedes-Benz Museum, is one of these luxury limousines. Its completely restored bodywork, specially tailored by Messrs. Spohn in Ravensburg, is a four-door six-to-seven-seater cabriolet with long wheelbase and ample space for feeling at ease in comfortable leather chairs. Itself a feast for the eyes, the eight-litre V12 engine (number 25041) is still in a virtually “straight-from-the-factory” condition and in perfect working order. It develops its power of 200 hp at a maximum of 3200 revolutions per minute in superior style – the epitome of smoothness – and gives the car a top speed of 170 kilometres per hour.\r\n\r\nEnthusiasm-inspiring handling characteristics\r\n\r\nIts handling characteristics fill people with enthusiasm even today. With its 3735 millimetre wheelbase, high weight and rigid axles suspended on long semi-elliptic springs, the car glides along in almost light-footed style. Comfort is additionally enhanced by hydraulic, double-acting shock absorbers. The clutch has to be operated for starting off, but otherwise, the driver only needs to operate two small levers in the centre of the steering wheel to engage the four gears of the planetary-gear transmission – without declutching. What a treat! Idle, first and reverse gear are engaged by means of a preselection lever in the centre of the car.\r\n\r\nIn relation to this majestic car’s weight of well over three tonnes, the worm-and-nut steering, without power assistance, is astonishingly light, and the huge drum brakes, actuated via cables, decelerate the car evenly and effectively, thanks to an ingenious lever system. Thanks to vacuum-pressure brake boosting, relatively little strength is required to operate the brakes.

Although normally known as the Passat in European markets, it has been badged as a variety of other names including Dasher, Santana and Quantum in other markets. While the first generation Passat was a compact car/small family car, the second generation grew in size, so the rest of the Passats are mid-size cars/large family cars.\r\n\r\nThe Passat has always been one of Volkswagen''s most important models, falling in the middle of the sedan/saloon market segment. It was critical to Volkswagen on its introduction in 1973, as the sales of the aging Beetle were declining, and larger air-cooled rear-engined models like the Volkswagen Type 3 and 411 and 412 based on older technology were also failing to take hold in the market.\r\n\r\nFollowing the Volkswagen Group''s acquisition of Audi in 1964, Volkswagen was able to use newly gained engineering expertise to develop a modern front wheel drive car with a water-cooled engine, and thus the Passat and Golf (the latter being introduced in 1974) were the first of a new generation of Volkswagens. Indeed, the first Passat was designed together with Audi 80/Fox and the two share the same platform. The new Passat allowed Volkswagen to compete more squarely with its European rivals than was possible with its product line consisting of old-fashioned rear-engined models. As of 2006, the Passat is one of Volkswagen''s best-selling and most-profitable models in nearly every market.'); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1625, '2006 Volkswagen Golf R32', 'Volkswagen', 'V6', '195 (3189)', '250 bhp(184KW) / 6300 rpm', '236 ft lb(320 NM) / 2500 rpm', 'n.a.', 'ABS, vented disc/vented disc', '225/40 ZR18', '165.5 in', '3513 lbs (1594kg)', '6.2 seconds', '155 (250) - electronically limited', 'n.a.', '32;200 ?', 'volks03.jpg', 0, 3, 'In 2003 Volkswagen produced the Golf R32 in Europe.

Billed as the pinnacle of the Golf IV platform, the R32 included every performance, safety, and luxury feature VW had to offer including the all new 3.2 L VR6 engine producing 247 bhp, AWD, a new 6-speed manual transmission, independent rear suspension, automatic climate control, sport seats from Koenig, 18" OZ Aristo wheels, electronic stability programme ESP, massive (334 mm) brakes, sunroof, and model specific bodywork. The vehicle was available in only four colors, Tornado Red, Reflex Silver, Black Magic Pearl and Deep Blue Pearl.\r\n\r\nIn spite of outwardly appearing very similar to the 20th Anniversary GTI, the R32 shared the vast majority of its major components with the 3.2 L Audi TT, most notably, the engine, all wheel drive system, and both front and rear suspension geometries. Five thousand cars were produced and intended to be sold over a 2-year period. Each car was sold just 13 months later.\r\n\r\nThis was a venture put out by Volkswagen which was considered to be a corporate gamble. Volkswagen surprisingly sold all 5,000 R32s in America with little marketing and advertising.\r\n\r\nThe Golf R32''s competitors (at the time of production) were the Subaru Impreza WRX STi and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII, although, unlike these cars, the R32 was not run by Volkswagen in rally competitions, and lacked the playstation appeal and ultimate status as those cars. Instead of the boy-racer, go-fast approach of the competition, VW focused on the stability and drivability in everyday conditions.\r\n\r\nThe R32 remains the quickest car Volkswagen has imported to the U.S. Capable of 60 mph in only 5.8 seconds, and clearing the 1/4 mile in only 14.1 (@99.2 mph), it edges out its sportiest sibling (the Phaeton 6.0 litre W12 - 414 bhp) by a tenth of a second by the 1320 foot mark.\r\n\r\nIt also has a surprisingly high resale and used-car value; the Kelley Blue Book used car retail price (the price an individual might expect to pay for one from a dealer) for a model in excellent condition with low mileage actually exceeds the original retail price of the car in many cases, making it one of a few recent cars that have actually approached an increase in value over time.

It was equipped with "large diameter" 17 inch wheels (with the VW logo, just like the original Beetle hubcap) with low-profile tires. Also, in the concept car, there is a "zero emission" hybrid design made for it originally (it was said to use 248-V) the fuel consumption of the original is 2 L.\r\n\r\nNew Beetle\r\nStrong public reaction convinced the company to move the car into production, and in 1998 Volkswagen launched the New Beetle, designed by J Mays and Freeman Thomas at the company''s California design studio. The New Beetle is related to the original only in name and appearance (including the absence of a car emblem script with the exception of the VW logo): under the hood, it is a modern car in every way, based on the Volkswagen A platform (Mark 4 Volkswagen Golf).\r\n2006 New Beetle cabrio\r\nEnlarge\r\n2006 New Beetle cabrio\r\nVW New Beetle MY2006\r\nEnlarge\r\nVW New Beetle MY2006\r\n\r\nStill, it carried many of designs reference to the old Beetle: separate wings, vestigial running boards, sloping headlamps, large round tail light, as well as a high rounded roofline that provide enough headroom for tall drivers.\r\n\r\nIn stark contrast to the original, the U.S. Insurance Institute of Highway Safety gave the New Beetle among the best safety ratings in its class at the time of its launch.\r\n\r\nThe car was widely considered a flop in Europe, but it was a success in the United States. There, marketing campaigns enhanced the continued goodwill towards the original, and helped the new model to inherit it. The Volkswagen New Beetle was Motor Trend''s Import Car of the Year [1] for 1999. A convertible version of New Beetle started production two years after launch, after many buyers had aftermarket conversions.\r\n\r\nFor the 2006 model, the exterior is slightly redesigned with bigger bumpers and is fitted with a 2.5L 150hp I5 base engine, as seen on the A5 Jetta.\r\n\r\nThe New Beetle RSi\r\nBetween 2001 and 2003 Volkswagen produced 250 limited edition New Beetles with the designation RSi in Europe. The RSi was powered by a 225 hp 3.2 liter V6 engine mated to a six-speed gear box and Volkswagen''s all-wheel drive system 4motion. It had a Remus twin-pipe exhaust. The suspension was tuned by Porsche, featuring a severely altered rear suspension geometry more geared to the race track and a rear cross member behind the rear seats. Visually, the RSi differed in it''s 80mm wider fenders, unique front and rear bumpers, a rear diffuser, large rear wing, and 18x9 OZ Superturismo wheels with 235/45ZR-18 tires. Inside, it was trimmed in carbon fiber, billet aluminum, and bright orange leather. The front seats were Recaro racing shells. Notable draw backs were loud cabin noise and low rear tire life. Curiously, in Mexico, although being a country very attached to Volkswagen, there are RSi that have not been sold since 2001. This is probably due to its US$58,000 price tag.'); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1631, '2006 Volkswagen Passat', 'Volkswagen', 'I-4', '121.00 CU IN. | 1983.2 cc. | 2 L.', '200.00 BHP (147.2 KW) @ 5100.00 RPM', '207.00 Ft-Lbs (280.7 NM) @ 1800.00 RPM', '6500 rpm', 'vented disc brakes', '215/55 R16 97H, all season tires', '188.201 in | 4780.3 mm.', '3829 lbs | 1736.8 kg', '6.9 seconds.', '130 mph | 209.2 km/h', 'n.a.', '? 27;750', 'volks09.jpg', 0, 2, ''); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1632, '2005 Volkswagen EcoRacer Concept', 'Volkswagen', 'Turbocharged Deisel Inline-4', '91 cu in (1484 cc)', '134 bhp(100 Kw) / 4000 rpm', '185 lb-ft (250Nm) / 1900-3750 rpm', 'n.a.', 'ABS, vented disc/disc', 'R17', '147 in', '1873 lbs (850 kg)', '6.3 seconds', '143 mph', 'n.a.', 'n.a.', 'volks10.jpg', 0, 4, ''); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1633, '2005 Volkswagen Golf GTI', 'Volkswagen', 'Inline-4 Turbocharged & Intercooled', '1984 cc / 121.1 cu in', '149.1 kw / 200 bhp @ 5100 rpm', '280 nm / 206.5 ft lbs @ 1500-5000 rpm', '8000 rpm', 'Discs w/EPBD, ABS', '225/45 R 17 W', '4216 mm / 166.0 in', '1328 kg / 2928 lbs', '6.5 seconds', '225.3 kph / 140 mph', 'n.a.', '$23 000', 'volks11.jpg', 0, 2, 'The Volkswagen Golf (Mk I and Mk V badged as Volkswagen Rabbit in North America) is a compact car / small family car manufactured by Volkswagen.

It was based on common platform with Mitsubishi Carisma but did not sell as well. Despite the shared platform, they were not the same car. Of the 5,000 parts on the cars, 4,000 were unique to each. Of the remainder, 650 were produced by Volvo and 350 by Mitsubishi.

The 1.9T was the only engine available in the United States.\r\n\r\nIn the UK trim levels were base, SE and CD. The 1.9 diesel was criticised by the motoring press as being stolid.\r\n\r\nFirst generation (2004-present)\r\nIntroduced in the middle of the 2004 model year, the second generation S40 introduced a new design based on the Volvo P1 platform built at the Volvo Cars factory in Ghent, Belgium. At the same time, the V40 was replaced by the V50 wagon, also based on the P1 platform and built in Ghent. The S40 was nominated for the World Car of the Year award for 2005 and won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Sport Compact award for 2005.

Whether these are genuine Volvos or not is a matter of personal opinion. A major point of disagreement is whether this generation of cars has the same build quality of the earlier cars. Volvos of old were renowned for their durability, vehicles like the 240 series are still to be seen on the roads with 300,000 miles and more on the clock. The highest mileage recorded on a car belongs to a Volvo P1800 belonging to Irv Gordon - 2 million miles and counting. Some doubt that the modern generation Volvos are capable of such feats.\r\nMany journalists and Volvo fans have also expressed disappointment that the interior space is not as large as it could be, although it is comparable to other luxury marques in the same class.'); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1640, '2007 Volvo XC90', 'Volvo', '3.2 In-line six-cylinder engine', '194.8 cu.in.', '235 hp @ 6200 rpm', '236 ft./lbs. @ 3200 rpm', 'n.a.', 'vented disc brakes', '235/65/R17 Tires', '189.3 in.', '4400 lbs.', '7.3 seconds', '130 mph', '17 / 22', '$36,135.00', 'volvo06.jpg', 0, 2, 'The Volvo XC90 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV.

In the United States prices for the C70 convertible started at $38,710 for the 2006 model year.\r\n\r\nFirst Generation (1997-2005)\r\n\r\nThe Volvo C70 was available with both low-pressure and high-pressure, 5-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engines and manual and automatic transmissions. Although visually based on the 850, it was actually engineered by Tom Walkinshaw Racing and was a breakthrough design for Peter Horbury.\r\n\r\nSince the Volvo 780 coupe went out of production in 1990, Volvo lacked a true competitor to Saab''s 900/9-3 coupe/convertible, and likely lost sales to Saab to customers desiring a Swedish sports car.\r\n\r\nThe C70 was built in Uddevalla, Sweden in a facility separate from the 70-series sedan and wagon assembly line. The C70 also had more human involvement in assembly than the other 70-series cars since the C70 was the first modern convertible Volvo had constructed.\r\n\r\nThe car was introduced as a 1997 model in Europe, and as a 1998 model in North America, Volvo''s largest market. This staggered launch was in part to ensure quality of a vehicle type that was very new to Volvo.\r\n\r\nA series of special edition models was made in the beginning of the production run featuring a unique two-tone premium leather interior. Other optional equipment made standard in this special edition include the SC-900 (coupe) and SC-901 (convertible) Dolby Surround Sound stereo with 3-disc integrated changer unit (via a cartridge) and 12 Dynaudio speakers.\r\n\r\nThe C70 met with limited success overall due to a limited demand for coupes in general and cost (roughly US$43,000 for convertible and US$39,000 for coupe). The coupe model has a smoother roof line than the convertible due to the ribs necessary in a soft top. The second generation C70 remedies this by using a three-piece retractable hard top.\r\n\r\nThe C70 has developed a cult following of Volvo enthusiasts due to its groundbreaking design and its touring car performance. The C70 is a heavy car for its size due to numerous safety features. The car performs best at high speeds, overtaking traffic with power bursts from its turbocharged engine. The manual transmission makes the most of the T5 engine, but is rare in North America.\r\n\r\nThe C70 was introduced to the press in saffron orange metallic paint. The 1997 movie The Saint featured a C70 finished in coral red metallic paint. As with most Volvo models, paint colors changed throughout the C70''s years of production.\r\n\r\nProduction of the coupe ended in 2003 due to lack of demand, while the cabriolet/convertible continued until the introduction of the second generation C70. Several special edition colors and trim options were available to commemorate the end of the first generation C70.\r\n\r\nVolvo and Tom Walkinshaw Racing have had a tumultuous relationship, with threatened shutdowns of the Uddevalla factory occurring during contract disputes. As a result, Volvo and TWR parted ways and TWR has no contribution to the second generation C70.\r\n\r\nThe new C70 model was launched on 13 April 2006, sharing the Ford C1 plaform used in the S40. This vehicle, designed by John Kinsey and built by Pininfarina, is a coupé convertible which features a three piece retractable metal hardtop that can raise or lower in less than 30 seconds. The new C70 replaces both the current cabriolet/convertible and the coupé absent from Volvo''s lineup since 2003. For the first time, the C70 will be offered with a normally-aspirated gasoline engine, as well as diesel engines with variable geometry turbocharger and common-rail direct injection.'); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1642, '2006 Volvo S60', 'Volvo', 'I-4 Turbocharged', '2.50 L | 152.6 cu in. | 2501.1 cc.', '208.00 BHP (153.1 KW) @ 5000.00 RPM', '236.00 Ft-Lbs (320 NM) @ 1500.00 RPM', '6500 rpm', 'vented disc brakes', '215 / 55 / HR16', '180.201 in | 4577.1 mm.', '3393 lbs | 1539.1 kg', 'n.a.', '130 mph | 209.2 km/h', '22 / 30', '$30,640', 'volvo08.jpg', 0, 3, ''); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1643, '2006 Volvo S60 R', 'Volvo', 'I-5 Transverse Turbocharged with Twin Intercoolers', '2.50 L | 152.6 cu in. | 2501.1 cc.', '300.00 BHP (220.8 KW) @ 5500.00 RPM', '295.00 Ft-Lbs (400 NM) @ 1950.00 RPM', '6500 rpm', 'vented disc brakes', 'Pirelli 235 / 45ZR - 17', '181.301 in | 4605 mm.', '3693 lbs | 1675.1 kg', '5.4 seconds.', '155 mph | 249.4 km/h', '18 / 25', '$38,385', 'volvo09.jpg', 0, 2, ''); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1644, '2006 Volvo S80', 'Volvo', 'I-5 Turbocharged', '2521.00 cc | 153.8 cu in. | 2.5 L.', '208.00 BHP (153.1 KW) @ 5000.00 RPM', '236.00 Ft-Lbs (320 NM) @ 1500.00 RPM', '6500 rpm', 'ABS disc brakes', '225 / 50 / HR17', '190.901 in | 4848.9 mm.', '3576 lbs | 1622.1 kg', 'n.a.', 'n.a.', '20 / 28', '$37,585', 'volvo10.jpg', 0, 1, ''); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1645, '2006 Volvo XC90', 'Volvo', 'I-5 Transverse Turbocharged with Intercoolers', '2521.00 cc | 153.8 cu in. | 2.5 L.', '208.00 BHP (153.1 KW) @ 5000.00 RPM', '236.00 Ft-Lbs (320 NM) @ 1500.00 RPM', '6500 rpm', 'ABS disc brakes', '235 / 65R17', '188.901 in | 4798.1 mm.', '4450 lbs | 2018.5 kg', 'n.a.', '118 mph | 189.9 km/h', '18 / 24', '$36,075', 'volvo11.jpg', 0, 3, ''); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1646, '2006 Volvo V70', 'Volvo', 'I-5', '2.40 L | 146.4 cu in. | 2399.5 cc.', '165.00 BHP (121.4 KW) @ 6000.00 RPM', '166.00 Ft-Lbs (225.1 NM) @ 4500.00 RPM', '6500 rpm', 'ABS disc brakes', '205 / 55 / R16', '185.401 in | 4709.2 mm.', '3488 lbs | 1582.2 kg', '8 seconds.', '130 mph | 209.2 km/h', 'n.a.', '$29,805', 'volvo12.jpg', 0, 2, ''); INSERT INTO `cars` VALUES (1647, '2004 Cadillac XLR', 'Cadillac', '32-Valve DOHC Variable Valve Timing', '4,565', '320 @ 6400', '310 @ 4400', '6700', 'n/a', 'n/a', '77.7"x72.3"x50.4"', '50-50', '5.8', '155', 'n/a', '$75,385', 'cc006.jpg', 0, 2, 'The XLR is a luxury roadster sold by Cadillac and is assembled in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It is based on the same Y-body platform as the Chevrolet Corvette. The XLR uses the Cadillac Northstar engine rather than the GM LS2 engine found in the Corvette. The XLR also has its own unique styling, interior, and suspension, and has a power-retractable aluminum hardtop. The engine is Cadillac''s 4.6 L Northstar tuned for 320 hp, and operates with a 5-speed automatic transmission.\r\n\r\nCadillac introduced the XLR at the 2003 Detroit Motor Show, and it entered production in the 2004 model year. Prior to production the XLR appeared as the Evoq in auto shows. It has a base price of $76,650 USD. Sales have been below expectations. Rather than reaching 6,000 per year, Cadillac had sold just 4,745 in 18 months as of March 2005. 3730 were sold in the United States in all of 2005.\r\n\r\nDesigned for both performance and luxury, the XLR comes with heated and cooled leather seats, wood interior trim, 18 in alloy wheels, and side airbags. Navigation, audio, and DVD are all displayed via a 7-inch dashboard screen, and Remote Keyless Access is included. All of these features are standard. The dashboard screen also allows Internet access.\r\n\r\nThe XLR is the second roadster offered by Cadillac in recent years. The first was the Cadillac Allanté, produced from 1987 to 1993.\r\n\r\nThe XLR was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2004.\r\n\r\nCompetitors include the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, Lexus SC, BMW 6-Series, Jaguar XK, Porsche 911 and Maserati Spyder.\r\n\r\nEngine:\r\n\r\n * 2004 Northstar 4.6 L (280 in³) V8\r\n\r\n\r\n'); -- -------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `review` -- CREATE TABLE `review` ( `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, `reviewer` varchar(58) NOT NULL default '', `site` varchar(244) NOT NULL default '', `review` text NOT NULL, `carid` varchar(12) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ; -- -- Dumping data for table `review` -- INSERT INTO `review` VALUES (1, 'Ed', 'http://www.katropa.com', 'Powertrain\r\n3.5-liter V6 engine, 5-speed automatic transmission w/manual-shift capability, all-wheel drive, traction control\r\nSafety\r\ndual front airbags, front side airbags, curtain side airbags, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, brake assist, antiskid system, tire-pressure monitor, daytime running lights, emergency inside trunklid release\r\nComfort and Convenience Features\r\nair conditioning w/dual-zone automatic climate controls, power steering, power tilt/telescope leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front bucket seats w/lumbar adjustment, 8-way power driver seat, 4-way power passenger seat, center console, cupholders, memory system (driver seat, mirrors, steering wheel), trunk pass-through, wood interior trim, active noise cancellation, power-folding rear headrests, heated power mirrors w/turn signals and tilt-down back-up aid, power windows, power door locks, remote keyless entry, keyless access and starting, power sunroof, OnStar assistance system w/one year service, navigation system w/voice recognition, Bose AM/FM radio w/in-dash 6-disc CD/MP3/DVD Audio changer, satellite radio w/traffic information, digital clock, hands-free cell phone link, tachometer, trip computer, automatic day/night rearview mirror, variable-intermittent wipers, illuminated visor mirrors, universal garage door opener, outside-temperature indicator, map lights, power rear sunshade, manual side sunshades, rear defogger, automatic headlights, floormats\r\nAppearance and Miscellaneous\r\ntheft-deterrent system, steering-linked adaptive xenon headlights, fog lights, 245/50VR17 tires, alloy wheels\r\n', '1000');
