Urbannizer Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 2011 Mercedes R-Class The R-Class has had a rough life. Not only did it suffer from odd, disproportionate styling, but Mercedes - Benz, never really marketed the vehicle the way that it should have, choosing to position it as a "sports tourer," rather than the obvious upscale family hauler that it is. Dismal sales ensued. Makes sense, then, that the 2011 R-Class benefits from a slightly more comprehensive overhaul than the standard mid-cycle refresh usually entails. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/28/brawnier-2011-mercedes-benz-r-class-leaked-ahead-of-new-york-deb/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 2011 Infiniti Qx56 - Its a beast. I like it except for the rear tailights. Its based off the Nissan Patrol in the Middle East ; don`t expect to see a Armada version. You'll have to wait until 2014 ( at the earliest ) for the Armada, which is when the Titan will be released. Given that we already know the vehicle nomenclature - QX56 - look for the same 5.6-liter, 400-horsepower, 405 pound-foot direct-injected V8 that's available in the Patrol. Likewise, we expect to see most, if not all, of the same technological features the new Patrol offers, such as its seven-speed automatic transmission, electronic four-wheel-drive with driver-selectable modes, and hydraulic anti-roll system. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/28/leaked-2011-infiniti-qx56-drips-onto-the-web-ahead-of-ny-debut/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also cadillac's 3-series (ATS) and 7-series (XTS) fighters will be released soon. More wagons in the works - Buick Regal and (next generation) Lexus IS.That's good news about the V60. I wouldn't mind something like that. I wonder though about Cadillacs becoming cool. Maybe I just haven't seen that many about. If they're trying to compete in the same league as Mercedes, BMW, Audi & Lexus that's a pretty tough neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) 2011 Sonata Hybrid - It wasn't that many years ago that no one really took the engineering capabilities of Hyundai all that seriously. Thanks to recent introductions like the Genesis coupe and sedan, the Tucson and the Sonata, as well as consistently improving quality, the Korean automaker is rapidly gaining respect. Today at the 2010 New York Auto Show. Hyundai debuted its first production hybrid model for the U.S. market based on the recently launched 2011 Sonata. As we saw in the teaser photo released last Friday, Hyundai has set its hybrid apart from conventional models with an all-new front fascia. However, the changes go well beyond the new grille and headlights. The new wheels combine with extended rocker panels to improve airflow across the flanks. At the back end, the bumper cover has been reshaped with sharp creases at the corners to control the air coming off and minimize drag, and there are set of really interesting taillamps with a sort of neutron molecule-like quality to them. http://green.autoblo...-new-york-2010/ Edited March 31, 2010 by Urbannizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 2011 Scion Tc As for what's new, the engine is now a 2.5-liter I-4, up from 2.4 liters. Power is up as well. The new tC ships with a respectable 180 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque. That's plus 19 ponies and 11 pound feet. The suspension is now "sport tuned" and the power steering is electronic, which Scion assured us better allows the engineers to dial in more steering feel. Uh-huh.The new tC also gets better gas mileage than the previous car (no word yet on exactly how much better) and comes with two new transmissions. There's a six-speed automatic that features sequential-shift (Scion-speak for a manual shift mode) as well asa six-speed manual that promises more refined shifting than the old five-speed. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/31/2011-scion-tc-new-york-auto-show-2010-reveal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 More From Scion, 2011 Scion IQ - World smallest four - seater. Well, well, well – it looks like Toyota's iQ is coming to the U.S. after all, only it will be sporting a Scion badge. Makes sense. Especially as according to Scion, the world's smallest four-seater is aimed squarely at a very young demographic. Not just young, but hip and urban, too. In fact, we were told that the iQ represents a "new urbanism," and is a vehicle for a "progressive buyer." http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/31/2011-scion-iq-new-york-2010-reveal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 2011 Acura TSX Wagon From all appearances, the only differences between the Euro Accord wagon and the TSX Sport Wagon are the addition of Acura badges and a slightly more upscale interior. Powering the Sport Wagon is the same 2.4-liter inline-four found in the sedan, mated exclusively to a five-speed automatic transmission. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/31/new-york-2010-2011-acura-tsx-sport-wagon-is-lovable-but-somewh/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Does anyone thing Cadillacs will ever become "cool" again?I wouldn't kick that CTS-V wagon out of my garage. How many other station wagons (or "estate wagons", if you're European) have 550+HP? That kind of power, and handling that is calibrated to match it, can cause one to forgive the styling sins that accompany it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 2011 Kia Forte 5 - Door Since Americans seem to be finally latching onto the concept of the compact five-door hatchback, Kia is jumping into the fight with a new variant of the Forte. The five-door Forte debuts with a slightly revised front fascia (something that will make its way onto all Forte models) to go with its new more useful backside. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/01/new-york-2010-kia-adds-five-door-hatch-to-forte-lineup/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Korean Automaker Kia/Hyundai wants to take over the Japenese Automakers, 2011 Kia Optima Thanks to designer Peter Schreyer, Kia has been cranking out some really impressive-looking vehicles recently. In fact, the Soul was a contender for the World Design of the Year award. And while we've seen hot new designs for both the Sorento and Sportage the most significant addition to the Kia portfolio is the revamped 2011 Optima.The Optima shares its platform and powertrains with the recently introduced 2011 Sonata, but the design is wholly unique. It features a bold new front fascia, swoopy side lines and a sleek rear end, and with its impressive fuel economy and choice of naturally aspirated or turbocharged power, the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry indeed have some stiff competition coming in the near future http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/01/2011-kia-optima-new-york-2010-live-reveal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) 2011 Hyundai Equus U.S Spec - Hyundai's Phaeton, has joined the show. It will come with an iPad that replaces the Owners Manual. CEO John Krafcik wouldn't give us a firm number but did promise that the 385-horsepower sedan will come in with a base price somewhere between $50,000 and $60,000. The Equus will also launch a new luxury ownership experience being sold through select dealers in a dedicated area that will also include Genises and Genises Coupe. It will be available in four or five-seat configurations with a mini fridge splitting the rear bucks on the rear two-some. Those backseats are also extremely comfortable, with power ventilation, heating and massage, plus a Maybach-like foot rest. http://www.autoblog....-unveiled-live/ Edited April 1, 2010 by Urbannizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport It's 15 inches shorter than the Outlander GT. Like its big brother, it gets magnesium paddle shifters. However, they are connected to a CVT instead of Mitsu's sweet dual-clutch gearbox. Now, no one has driven the Outlander Sport yet, and CVTs have gotten massively better in the last few years, so don't bunch your panties up quite yet. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/01/new-york-2010-mitsubishi-hopes-2011-outlander-sport-will-be-the/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) 2011 Mercedes E Class Wagon - Only vehicle in the U.S with "rear facing" 3rd row seats, well besides the Dodge Caravan, and Chrysler Town and Country. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise to find Mercedes-Benz taking the wraps off a U.S. market 2011 E350 4Matic Wagon here at the 2010 New York Auto Show today. When we first saw this estate at the Frankfurt Motor Show, we were told not to expect an American showing of the vehicle. Well, Mercedes has apparently had a change of heart as they debuted the wagon, and in 4Matic trim no less.The E-Class Wagon joins the thoroughly revised sedan and coupe variants of Merc's mid-sizer and shares much of their styling outside and in. http://www.autoblog....0-4matic-wagon/ Edited April 2, 2010 by Urbannizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 2011 VW Phaeton - Ah, its coming back. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And then again. That could very well sum up Volkswagen's strategy with its quizzical Phaeton The flagship sedan – which took "the people's car" up-market into Mercedes S-Class territory – was introduced in 2003, then underwent a facelift in 2009 and has now undergone yet another. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/22/third-times-a-charm-volkswagen-unveils-2011-phaeton-in-beijing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Why not just get an A8 or one of its variants?I would get any of the Phaeton's competitors than the Phaeton. Over 8 years of the Phaeton, it was great when it was released, but little design change inside and out. Its a boring design now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
