Both the electronic and automotive industries are awash with tales of second-place finishes in two-man races. Blu-ray vs. HD DVD, VHS vs. Betamax and Oldsmobile vs. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Spy Photos , Hybrid , SUV , Hatchback , Land Rover 2011 Land Rover LRX - Click above for high-res image gallery It was only a matter of time before our army of steely-eyed spy photographers were able to snag a handful of shots of the upcoming Land Rover LRX. Proving once and for all that BMW doesn't have the market cornered on psychedelic vinyl body wraps, the Indian-owned British SUV manufacturer's answer to the CUV question was spotted busting a move on public streets. If you can look past the electrified coral reef patterns smeared all over the vehicle's body work, it's easy to see that this may be the most interesting thing to roll out of the brand's tea-drinking consciousness in years. So far, we know that the LRX may or may not sail under a different name once it lands in showrooms next year. Whatever Land Rover decides to call it, the baby-ute should be available in both front and all-wheel drive flavors. That's right, we said 2011 will bring a FWD Land Rover to the scene. If that's not enough to put a twist in the knickers of brand purists everywhere, reports have also suggested that buyers will also be able to opt for a hybrid version . So why are we so excited? This has to be one of the best-looking, most innovative models we've seen from Land Rover since England was still invested in crushing lesser cultures for the good of Queen and country]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Hybrid , Sedan , Mercedes-Benz , Reviews , Luxury 2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid - Click above for high-res image gallery When pondering the idea of any near-$100,000 hybrid luxury sedan, one has to wonder, "What's the point?" The only hybrids that sell in any significant numbers are the Toyota Prius and Ford Fusion , and for good reason. Both allow drivers - and particularly hyper-milers - to squeeze every last mile out of each gallon of fuel. Obviously, anyone with the financial wherewithal to purchase a 2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is unlikely to be motivated by the technology's fuel savings. Similarly, if someone wants to make a social statement by driving a "green" vehicle, they will likely want their ride to be instantly recognizable as a hybrid. So the cost-no-object camp is divided. They can either drop their coin on an all-electric Tesla Roadster or, in spite of their bank balance, go with a lowly Toyota . Which begs the question: Is there something in between]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Hybrid , Sedan , Technology , Mercedes-Benz , Luxury 2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid - Click above for high-res image gallery According to an Autoblog source close to the project, Mercedes-Benz will go all-hybrid with its next-generation S-Class lineup in America - with the exception of enthusiast-oriented AMG models. The plutocrat cruiser is expected to roll up in 2012, and it is understood that gas-only S-Class models will be the exclusive preserve of the company's performance arm - the German automaker is not talking about offering both regular and hybrid variants of the same model, at least in the States. Presently, Daimler only offers a single gasoline-electric variant of its W221 S-Class - the S400 hybrid (the range's price leader at $87,950), and it incorporates a 3.5-liter V6 with a mild hybrid assist system for 295 horsepower and 26 miles-per-gallon on the freeway. Other models in current S-Class lineup all have more cylinders and power, including the 382-hp 5.5-liter V8 of the S550 and the twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12 of the S600. It is not immediately clear if company engineers plan to downsize the internal-combustion side of the next S' powertrain equation as a result of the all gas-electric strategy. ]]></description>

It is not immediately clear if company engineers plan to downsize the internal-combustion side of the next S' powertrain equation as a result of the all gas-electric strategy. While we expect Mercedes will offer a range of CDI diesel models in European market, no such model is apparently planned for the States at this time. While the Daimler board has yet to sign-off on this plan, it appears to be all but certain. Interestingly, our contact indicates that S400 sales are going swimmingly in the States - particularly among Hollywood's green-minded glitterati, a contingent that our source maintains is abandoning their Priuses at a furious rate now that the model has become "something of a pariah" due to Toyota 's recent troubles. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. said today that it would recall 2.3 million vehicles for sticking accelerator pedals, in addition to the 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles already being recalled. This recall is entirely separate from the one Toyota announced last September, its largest ever at approximately 4.2 million vehicles, involving pedal entrapment by floor mats that could cause unintended acceleration. That said, about 1.7 million vehicles out there on the roads are involved in both recalls, though no Lexus or Scion models are involved in the one announced today. A class action law suit filed against the automaker last November alleges that Toyota has known about this problem for four years and received 2,000 complaints. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Ever have one of those “WTF” kinda days? Well, that would be me today after I get the announcement for one of the winners of 2010 North American Car &#038; Truck of the Year. Enough about me, the winners are the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and the 2010 Ford Transit Connect. Last year I was cool with the decision to crown the Hyundai Genesis and Ford F-150 as I was in previous years. Okay, great, excellent vehicles. My only gripe this year would be the Ford Transit Connect. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Detroit Auto Show , Hybrid , Sedan , Truck , Work , Ford Mark Fields, Ford's President of the Americas, accepts the hardware from Tony Swan of Car and Driver For just the third time in the 17-year history of the North American Car and Truck of the Year, one manufacturer has taken home both pieces of etched glass. Ford's 2010 Fusion Hybrid and Transit Connect have yielded the hardware for the Dearborn automaker here at the Detroit Auto Show , with the Fusion emerging victorious over the shortlisted Buick LaCrosse and Volkswagen Golf , and the Transit Connect besting the Chevrolet Equinox and Subaru Outback . The last time a single manufacturer won both the Car and Truck of the Year awards was back in 2006, when Honda did double duty with its Civic compact and Ridgeline pickup. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ What you see here is probably the next best thing to the Scirocco for America to get from Wolfsburg’s Volkswagen design group, the NCC. Essentially this new VW compact coupe is a two-door version of the Jetta. Shown here are newly released photos of a new Volkswagen Compact Coupe Concept debuting at the Detroit Auto Show. Slated as a 2011 model, the “VW Jetta Coupe” will be competition for Nissan’s two-door Altima, and the Honda Accord Coupe. ]]></description>
