2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe

After a few month hiatus, our spy photographers have once again caught up with the CL-replacing S-Class Coupe. The big two-door was spotted with virtually no camouflage, giving us our best look to date. The CL’s name change falls in line with Mercedes’ new naming scheme, which also included the E-Class Coupe.

Also included with the CL’s name change will be a mid-cycle refresh. New features will include LED daytime headlights and, possibly, LED taillamps as well. A newly designed front bumper is also hinted in these photos, and the AMG versions will sport a more aggressive look.
Upfront, the updated grille doesn’t look as quite slanted as the current CL grille, and will now will have fewer chrome bars across it, giving more prominence to the Mercedes badge sitting in the middle.
Overall, the debut of the S-Class nomenclature is really nothing more than a standard mid-cycle refresh combined with a name change – expect the same basic car currently available under the CL-Class naming structure.
Underhood, we expect the CL’s engine offerings to largely remain unchanged, starting with a 5.5-liter 382 hp V8, and topped with a 604 horsepower 6.0-liter V12 with the S-Class 65 AMG.
The “new” S-Class Coupe should break cover by mid-2010, with a possible public debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Expect sales to begin in early 2011.

Unveiled: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet

Unveiled: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet STUTTGART, Germany — Mercedes-Benz officially launched its new 2011 E-Class cabriolet today, an all-new drop top that was first spotted in full production form earlier this fall on the set of the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel.
On sale in May 2010, the rear-wheel-drive cabriolet is identical in size to the 2010 E-Class Coupe and matches the coupe’s engine options: a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque for the E350 cabriolet and a 382-hp 5.5-liter V8 with 391 lb-ft for the E550 cab.
While the BMW 3 Series, Infiniti G37 and Lexus IS have moved to retractable hardtops for their current models, Mercedes has elected to use a 0.9-inch-thick fabric roof for the E-Class convertible. Waterproof and windproof, Mercedes says the top can be “put through an automatic car wash without any hesitation.”
When open-air motoring is desired, the cabriolet roof folds into a special compartment behind the rear seat panel. A retractable cover separates the soft top compartment from the trunk area, and it must be closed in order to stow the roof. When the roof is closed, the cover can be slid rearwards, and trunk capacity increased by 3.17 cubic feet to 13.8 cubic feet. The E-Class coupe offers 15.9 cubes. A pass-through loading feature is included as standard equipment for the new cabriolet, as is Easy-Entry — a manually operated entry and exit aid for the rear passengers.
Passengers are also likely to appreciate Mercedes’ new AirCap, a feature that consists of two components: a wind deflector that extends from the top of the windshield by 2.4 inches and a draft-stop between the rear seats. AirCap reduces the draft at speeds up to 100 mph, making passengers more comfortable and able to hear each other talk when the top is down. Also present is Mercedes’ Airscarf, a feature first introduced on the SL roadster, which shoots warm air around the neck through directable outlets in the front passengers’ head restraints.

In recent years, SUV and crossover models in the market suffered welcome, especially the luxury car brand has even more experience in research and development put into this type of models. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Land Rover, in this regard have been or plan to launch new models. And including BMW and Audi, including the number of vendors have set our sights on a more compact and miniaturization of the SUV and crossover vehicles.

So far, only three car which BMW X1 has been coming out are real, but the speculation picture Audi Q3 should also during this time will be exposed. Audi intends to early as the summer of 2011 when on sale in Europe this Q3, As into North America, will have to wait until the end of 2011.
The next generation of Mercedes-Benz B-Class will build BLK-based, all-wheel drive, the car uses the engine from the X1 or BLK displacement ranging from 1.6 to rise to 2.2-liter version. However, as different from the same manufacturer made two SUV, the only difference is the style should be different.

Rendering: 2012 BMW 3-Series With CS Concept Design Cues



Defining the sport sedan category over the years, the 3-Series has set the benchmark for every other luxury car maker ranging from Alfa Romeo to Volvo.
Also it’s the best selling car in BMW’s range. That’s the sole reason why the Bavarians have been so tentative with the styling of all 3-Series models. Either you like them or not, design-wise, the latest 5-Series and 7-Series sedans performed a major styling departure from their predecessors. And between us, the current 3-Series sedan is undoubtedly the most boringly styled car in BMW’s range. Take out the Hofmeister kink, the BMW kidney grille and this could a Mitsubishi.
But that’s about to change in the 6th-gen 3 Series that’s expected to pop-up in the automotive scene in 2011-2012. The info we’ve got coincides with Automotorundsport’s latest CGI of the future 3-Series that draws its inspiration from the impressive CS Concept. AMS’s 3-Series rendering actually looks quite sportier and sexier than the 5.1-meter long concept thanks to the cars more compact dimensions. Maybe it’s a bit too early for any final conclusions concerning the design-road BMW’s taking for the next 3-Series, but dreaming never hurt anybody.

New Toyota USA

Toyota's media reception this evening, new Toyota USA President Jim Lentz revealed the company's latest concept, the A-BAT hybrid pickup. We first saw pics of the new concept a couple of weeks ago but in person it is quite a bit more striking. Given how much "small" trucks have grown over the past two decades it was quite refreshing to see such a small truck on display. The extended cab unit body design actually looks quite sharp in person and the flexibility afforded by the Chevy Avalanche like mid-gate makes it actually useful for hauling decent sized loads, as long as they aren't too heavy. With both the tailgate and mid-gate folded the A-BAT has an eight foot bed with four feet between the side walls.


Introducing the BYD E6 Electric Car

Update: Click here for BYD Electric Cars Slideshow

BYD, China's biggest battery maker, isn't wasting any time carving its niche in the new world of electric cars and plug-in hybrids. It all started with the F6DM plug-in hybrid sedan, followed by the smaller and less expensive F3DM plug-in hybrid compact car.
Now BYD has introduced its E6 electric car at the Beijing International Auto Show. It takes the shape of a crossover, or MPV, and will be built on on the F6's platform (same as the F6DM, which could be sold in Europe by 2010).

BYD E6 Electric Vehicle Specifications
So far, all we know is that the E6 will be a 5 seater with an acceleration of 0 to 100 kph of around 10 seconds. Top speed should be top speed of 160 kph (100 mph), and the battery pack, which is located under the rear passenger seats, will be based on BYD's own lithium-ion iron phosphate technology. Range per charge is expected to be 300 km (186 miles).
But most impressive of all:
"BYD projected the battery had a life of 2,000 cycles, for a lifetime range of about 600,000 km (373,000 miles)"
Wow! Even if thats just half true, it's still pretty good.
BYD E6 Electric car photo
Charging of the battery will take the night with 220V, but the E6 electric car can also take a fast charge that can bring the battery to 80% SOC in about 15 minutes.
BYD says that it could start producing the E6 within two years. Another one to follow.

Super Car: Tesla Roadster unveiled

http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/photos/tesla_roadster_on_the_road_2.jpghttp://stadium.weblogsinc.com/autoblog/videos/hirezpics/IMG_6866.jpghttp://www.momist.com/blog/uploaded_images/Tesla%20Roadster-724816.jpg

Tesla Motors unveiled their uber-chic Roadster, a powerful electric vehicle that looks, feels and drives like many other high-end sports cars Wednesday night. The main difference is the noise. Powered by a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor, the Roadster can go 130 mph and does 0-60 in about 4 seconds, all completely silent.

Tonight was the grand unveiling of the Roadster in a decorated airport hangar in Santa Monica, CA. I don't ride in many sports cars, and I certainly have never been in one that zips across an airport's tarmac without so much as a whisper. But tonight I got a quick ride in the Roadster and all I could hear from the passenger's seat (not even Gov. Schwarzenegger, who flew in for a brief look at the car, was allowed to drive it) was wind noise. And myself saying "Wow" under my breath.

The car is low to the ground, and smooth in all possible ways. But this vehicle isn't just a sports car. It's also a green car. There are zero tailpipe emissions. There isn't even a tailpipe. Tesla Motors is working to provide purchasers with a photovoltaic panel that will turn the driving experience into an actual net producer of energy, according to Tesla Motors chairman Elon Musk.
