 Click To View Larger Image Abt Sportsline of Germany has managed to tune and tweak Volkswagen’s Eos even before it hits dealer showrooms in the US. Upgrades include an additional 70 horsepower for the 2.0T models, agressive ground effects, and promises that the car will be 70% less feminine. Okay, we made that last part up, but it certainly does look much more manly than the Eos in stock trim.  Click To View Larger Image Full press release after the jump.  Click To View Larger Image The all-new 2007 Acadia is GMC’s first crossover, bringing a smooth, responsive driving experience, athletic design, a spacious interior and a comprehensive safety package to the fastest-growing vehicle segment in the United States . “ Acadia is a natural extension of the GMC brand,” said John Larson, Pontiac-GMC general manager. “Its combination of smooth, responsive driving traits and SUV versatility embody GMC’s professional grade philosophy. Acadia is a great looking vehicle that will attract customers who’ve never visited a GMC showroom.” Continue reading GMC Introduces All-New Crossover SUV, the 2007 GMC Acadia  Click To View Larger Image We’ve seen the M3 prototypes all over the place by now…but here she is for the first time minus about 90% of the camo! This is the first set of M3 coupe pictures showing all these details from the curves of the air intakes to the quad exhaust pipes. The next-generation M3 is the first V8-engined 3-Series, and offers 400+ horsepower – so expect it to race from 0-100 km/h in a fraction over five seconds, and go on to a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Power will be fed to the rear wheels via a six speed manual gearbox or the latest SMG sequential manual, possibly with seven ratios. The new M3 should maintain the M3’s reputation for outstanding handling. The V8 will be more compact than the current in-line six- cylinder model, while a longer wheelbase will help with weight distribution. Externally, the car takes many cues from the M5 with front wing vents and discreet ‘M’ badges, while the look of the all-new 3-Series means an aggressive nose and deeply sculpted flanks. We hope to see this in dealer showrooms late in the 2007 calendar year.  Click To View Larger Image  Click To View Larger Image The spies at over at Priddy & Co. were fruitful on their hunt earlier today as they picked off what appears to be a prototype of the upcoming Mitsubishi Evo X. Details are slim right now, but we know that the Evo X will debut in the 2008 Model Year, and is based off the GS Platform also used on the current Dodge Caliber. Rumors are that this iteration of the Evo will feature more than 300 horsepower, and will be put on a diet resulting in a curb weight significantly less than that of the current Evo. We’ll keep you posted as more details surface on this next generation import hot rod.
Editors Note: This could also be a variation of the Ralliart model. Either way, the prototype is fairly true to the concept’s form.

There have been a ton of rumors circulating as to what these new trucks have underneath, but it has been confirmed that these testers are powered by a 6.4-liter Powerstroke V8 Turbo Diesel. Expect a first quarter launch, with the new truck probably bowing at the 2007 NAIAS in Detroit.  Click To View Larger Image Auburn Hills, Mich., Jul 1, 2006 – Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda today announced that Dodge Challenger will return to production after a nearly 35-year hiatus. The all-new Dodge Challenger will debut as a 2008 model in calendar-year 2008. The announcement was made shortly before the Pepsi 400 NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Driving out with the Dodge Challenger was Chrysler Group Chief Operating Officer Eric Ridenour. “We haven’t seen this kind of spontaneous, passionate response to a car since we unveiled the Dodge Viper concept in 1989,” said LaSorda. “But it’s easy to see what people like about the Dodge Challenger. It’s bold, powerful and capable. It’s a modern take on one of the most iconic muscle cars, and sets a new standard for pure ‘pony car’ performance.” The Dodge Challenger will feature the long hood, short deck, wide stance and two-door coupe body style that distinguished the iconic Challengers of the 1970s. “We drew on the rich heritage of the Dodge Challenger, but with contemporary forms and technologies,” said Ridenour. “It’s not just a re-creation; it’s a reinterpretation.” Continue reading Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda Says Dodge Challenger Is a “Go” !! |
