We just got media alert from the General in our email box about an hour ago, and noticed one very important sentence. Seems that GM is going to announce information on an “exciting new vehicle.” Hmm, wonder what that could be?? Camaro perhaps? We’ll bet the farm on it. Rumors have been flying for months that this project has already been green lighted internally, and just awaited the public announcement. We hear that the new Camaro might be ready as soon as the ‘08 model year. With the Challenger already announced for ‘08, and rumors flying about a special Mustang BOSS variant, we simply can’t wait. High gas prices be damned, we want more horsepower! Bring on the muscle car wars!

BMW today introduced the new X5 Sports Activity Vehicle. We’re not sure what exactly makes it a SAV instead of an SUV, but the new X5 does come with a whole slew of new features. In the U.S., the new X5 will be available with a new 4.8-liter V8 that produces 350 horsepower, or a 3.0-liter inline-six with 260 horsepower. This power is delivered to the wheels via a new six-speed automatic transmission with an enhanced xDrive AWD system with more ground clearance than its predecessor. The interior has grown, and now seats up to seven passengers. BMW says that they have used lightweight materials throughout to keep weight down, despite the increase in size. While the previous X5 certainly wasn’t a bad looking vehicle, this new X5 looks extremely agressive and is one of the nicest new designs we’ve seen come out of BMW lately.

Full press release after the jump.
