		<description><![CDATA[ After Ford’s recent unveiling of the new 2011 Ford Explorer , many people were left wondering what the price of the 2011 Ford Explorer would be. Ford has officially priced the new 2011 Ford Explorer at a starting point of $28,190. This price point places the new Explorer in the mix of its SUV lineup mostly consisting of other cross-over vehicles such as the Ford Escape, Edge and Flex. The big Ford Expedition remains if you want to venture farther away from the traditional unit-body constructed crossovers. What does $28,190 get you? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ General Motors is now taking orders for the new 2011 Chevy Volt which touts a price tag of $41,000 before the $7,500 tax credit which will only be paid to new buyers through their tax return. That makes the effective-purchase-price only $33,500. Those looking to hop in a new Volt will also get the option to enter into a 3-year lease for $350 a month. For those looking to lease the 2011 Chevy Volt there will be a $2,500 down payment requirement which is $500 more than the Nissan Leaf’s lease program but Chevy will give customers the option to purchase the vehicle after the lease term. The 2011 Chevrolet Volt comes well equipped which is something that may change in the near future to bring down the initial price. Currently it will come standard with a navigation system displayed on a 7-inch color screen, Bluetooth connectivity, Bose audio, five years of OnStar, heated leather seats, chrome wheels, rear park assist and most importantly, an eight-year/100,000 mile battery warranty. It is expected that the Volt will retain its value very well for those who choose to purchase the vehicle after the 3-year lease term. For those who purchase the Volt, do not be surprised to see extra markups due to high demand at your local “Volt-approved” Chevy dealership. GM has discouraged dealerships from doing this but we are not sure if they can actually control any price markups. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has pushed the envelope to set a new land speed record recently reaching 267.81 mph and now the car is in James May’s hands in Top Gear season 15. James heads to VW’s test track which is one of the very few places that you can max-out a Veyron which they already did in the regular version some time ago. Now it is their turn in the Veyron Super Sport. Check out the video below before it is pulled from Youtube of James May’s top speed run and the Stig taking his turn around the Top Gear test track. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ We guessed it in our review of the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS , the new 2012 Camaro Z28 will come out and it will sport a 6.2-liter Supercharged V8! This is news hot off of the press as spy shots recently posted on Camaro5.com confirm this rumor. Further proof of concept is via a spy photograph that reveals a paper sign on the dash of the test car reading: “5. 2012 Chevrolet Camaro… 6.2L SC V8, 6AT”. We can pretty much sum up what that lingo means but just like it says on Camaro5, we are not sure if it is the LS9 (Corvette ZR1) or the LSA motor. I am thinking 556 horsepower or more! We will be sure to post more details as they are provided. You can view all spy photos on Camaro5.com . [source: Camaro5 ] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It’s a new day and age, with that Nissan has proven they are fully aware of the younger Facebook/Twitter on-the-go generation in the new Nissan Cube. The Cube not only appeals to the younger crowd but those who desire practical, safe and reliable transportation literally all wrapped up in a box. The 2010 Nissan Cube is sometimes considered to be “cute” to some. To those who have never driven one it may appear to be an attention-getting pushover on the highway. In our time with the 2010 Nissan Cube we have found out that it’s surprisingly peppy for what it is. With a 122hp / 127 ft-lbs of torque gas-miser 4-cyl engine directing power through a CVT transmission, everything works very well together]]></description>

Time to show-off one of the most recognized Japanese sports cars to ever roam on planet earth, The Acura NSX. The mid-engine rear-wheel drive Acura NSX was a major staple in the sports car world for anything coming out of Japan along-side of the Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline and Mazda RX-7. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ If you have not seen any of the new 2011 Ford Fiesta ‘ The Fiesta Project ’ videos, then you are missing a treat. Ford has recently launched a viral marketing campaign with some very clever, and humorous at times, videos demonstrating how the 2011 Ford Fiesta is better than the ‘rest’. The new 2011 Ford Fiesta continues a tradition of injecting a vehicle originally targeting the European market and then transplanted to America. Many times the American version of the vehicle was somewhat of a let-down due to its diluted character, styling and performance. Ford has hopefully changed that notion with the introduction of the new 2011 Ford Fiesta. Ford has packed the small 2011 Fiesta with goodies such as their cutting-edge SYNC voice activated system, capless fuel filler, and a modern-day styling that gets-along with young and old Americans even when doused in bright eccentric paint colors. We have included a few of the videos of Ford’s Fiesta Project below for your enjoyment! View more videos like this via YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/FordFiesta [source: Ford] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The internet is a viral place and once an image gets posted somewhere you cannot retract it. Some may believe car companies release these “leaked” images on purpose. Here is another case where the new 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG and CL65 AMG images were leaked onto the internet recently. Take it for what it is, but the color Brown seems to be the new Silver to some car manufacturers. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ When you want a true exotic that’s hand built using mostly aluminum parts, your options are very few. The only option I can think of is to go to Spyker and have your own C8 built in front of your eyes via their 24/7 in-factory webcam system. Jay Leno happens to have one of these in his garage this week in the form of the Spyker C8 Laviolette. Check out Jay as he reviews the car and takes it for a spin in the video below. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Ferrari’s trio of cars including the California, 458 Italia and 599 GTO basically stole the show at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Below is a video of the Ferrari 458 Italia making a quick run. Turn your speakers up and enjoy! Press Release FERRARI CALIFORNIA, 458 ITALIA AND 599 GTO &#8220;STEAL THE SHOW&#8221; AT GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED Ferrari California, 458 Italia and 599 GTO &#8220;steal the show&#8221; in the Sunday Times Supercar Run at Goodwood Festival of Speed The &#8220;red cars with the Prancing Horses stole the show&#8221; at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, declared Auto Express, after seeing the Ferrari California, 458 Italia and 599 GTO wow the crowds in the Sunday Times Supercar Run throughout the weekend. The 458 Italia and 599 GTO were making their public debuts at the UK&#8217;s premiere automotive event, while crowds were drawn to the very unique Ferrari California with an extensive range of personalisation options including a two-tone paint scheme of Argento Nurburgring (silver) with a black roof, reminiscent of classic Ferrari berlinettas of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Although the Sunday Times Supercar Runs are not officially timed, the Ferraris reached the finish line in less than 1 minute, with the 458 Italia completing the 1.16 mile course in an astonishing 54 seconds, nearly 3 seconds quicker than most F1 cars from the 1970s, and the California accomplished an equally impressive time of 57 seconds. Ferrari driver Marc Gene also demonstrated the Ferrari F60 single-seater from the 2009 F1 Championship, with a display of wonderful and committed driving, reaching speeds of over 150mph as he approached the famous flint wall after the tricky Molecomb corner, followed by a lengthy series of autograph sessions in the fan&#8217;s favourite upper paddock. Also representing the most successful F1 team of all time, with 16 Constructor&#8217;s World Championship and 16 Driver&#8217;s World Championships, were a number of classic and exotic single-seaters and sport prototypes from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, such as the iconic 312BB &#8220;Spazzaneve&#8221; from 1972, a beautiful 250TR from 1959 and a 375MM that competed in the Carrera Panamerica in 1953. The complete list of historical Ferrari racing cars at Goodwood this year included: YEAR MODEL Class 1953 Ferrari 375MM Berlinetta (La Carrera Panamerica) 1959 Ferrari 246 Dino (Front-engined Grand Prix Cars) 1959 Ferrari 250 TR59/60 (Classic Endurance Racers) 1964 Ferrari 158 (Pre-winged Grand Prix Cars) 1968 Ferrari 312/68 (Pre-winged Grand Prix Cars) 1970 Ferrari 512S (Sportscar Legends) 1972 Ferrari 312 BB “Spazzaneve&#8221; (Be-winged Grand Prix Cars) 1972 Ferrari 312 PB (Open Racing Prototypes) 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 “Daytona” (Grand Touring Greats) 2010 Ferrari F430 (Modern Endurance Racers) World Cup Rubgy hero, Matt Dawson, also experienced the thrill of the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb in a Ferrari California as part of the making of an ITV programme which will be aired on ITV1 on Sunday 11 July, in which Ferrari fans will see many of the cars and stars from the event. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ My Steeda is faster and more powerful than your horse! That’s what you can say when you visit the Florida-based tuners Steeda Autosports in your 2011 Mustang GT . They will personally inject your Mustang with an entry-level kit boosting power output to 450hp from the stock 412hp. This is accomplished in part by a cold-air intake and a SCT Xcal3 handheld flash tuner scan tool that you get as part of the Steeda Sport performance package. We already know the new 2011 Ford Mustang GT is laying down a little more power than what Ford claims so expect the add-on kit from Steeda to be an all-around winner. Not only do you get more power with the Steeda Sport package, but you get a new hood, rear wing, ‘Sidewinder Graphics’, sport springs and 9.5]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ When you are sitting behind the wheel of a cool looking car, do you get that “big-head” feeling?  You know, the car that just attracts all types of attention? That’s just the selfish feeling that I had for a few moments while driving the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS. As I reminisce about the time spent in the 2010 Camaro SS I would like to thank Chevrolet for bringing back a true classic sports car. Not only did General Motors bring back a classic, but they brought it back in “transformed” style. The Camaro, in its Super Sports form, is one quick sports coupe to be reckoned with. The Camaro SS leads the pack along with the new 2011 Mustang GT and Dodge Challenger SRT8 for true American muscle cars. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ If you have been on this earth long enough and you are a true car enthusiast, then you know that there have been rumors circulating for about 10 years now of Toyota bringing back the infamous Supra and MR2 or a successor. Those rumors are starting to circulate once again making a grand appearance on sites such as AutoBlog and Autocar . Toyota has been known for not sharing many details of upcoming vehicles when they are in prototype form especially with the Lexus LFA for a course of 5 years and just recently the new FT-86 prototype . Toyota could use a sports car or at least some type of excitement injection. We even listed the Supra as one of the 5 concept cars that could save the world ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ “Oh Yeah!” That’s all I need to say after driving the new 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 for the first time. The iconic pony car, that just about everyone in his or her sane mind recognizes on the road, is better and more powerful than ever for 2011. Ford did their homework in providing consumers with an uncompromised performance bang for your buck. The war has begun between other cars in the Mustang’s segment sparking conversations, and arguments, among car enthusiasts from all around the world. The 2011 Ford Mustang GT in our garage reminds you of how enthusiasts saw the pony car back in the 1960’s with the rear spoiler delete ‘clean-look’. The 2011 Mustang GT’s optional big beefy Brembo brakes and 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero rubber screams performance and answers back with a 412hp and 390 ft-lbs of torque 5.0-liter V8]]></description>
