		<description><![CDATA[ The purpose of a car advertisement is to stir emotion, and to get the watcher aware of a particular product. The best ads convince you that you’re missing something, and that your life won’t be complete until you drive (or better yet, buy) a particular make and model. Based on that criteria, I’d put this ad in the “Top 10 Car Ads Of All Time” category. We wonder if this is going to make it to prime-time TV, especially here in the Bible Belt. It’s racy, it’s chock full of sexual overtones and there’s cleavage in it, which makes it wholly unsuitable for the sensitive American viewing public. If it featured violence, explosions, death and mayhem, on the other hand, it would be perfectly acceptable family viewing. We don’t speak Italian, so we have no idea what the actress in the ad is saying. She could be reading the assembly instructions for Ikea furniture, but that wouldn’t change our desire to take the, um, car for a nice, long test drive. Several test drives, as a matter of fact. ]]></description>

		<title>Nico Rosberg Terrifies David Coulthard On The ‘Ring</title>

		<description><![CDATA[ I know this as fact: ex-racing drivers make the world’s worst passengers at the hands of current racing drivers. David Coulthard is no stranger to going fast: the Scottish driver raced in Formula One from 1994 through 2008, racking up some 13 career victories and 12 pole positions. He’s still racing, driving in the DTM series for Mücke Motorsports. Nico Rosberg is a current F1 driver and teammate to Michael Schumacher at Mercedes-Benz. Rosberg is young, but that doesn’t mean he’s inexperienced; in fact, he’s got five and a half seasons of F1 experience under his belt, but that’s not reassuring to David Coulthard when he climbs in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG for a hot lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. I’m sure Coulthard wasn’t reassured to learn that Rosberg was a ‘Ring virgin, and the wet pavement probably didn’t help the Scot’s nerves any. Sideways at triple-digit speeds is puckering, no matter who’s behind the wheel. Enjoy the epic video below. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ With the introduction of the all-new 2011 Jaguar XJ L (long wheelbase), the all-new Jaguar lineup of exceptional luxury performance vehicles is now complete.  I am very impressed with the longer, sleeker and sexy styling, the incredible luxurious features inside and the smooth, refined ride of the performance-driven powertrain and suspension.  Jaguar has attained the zenith of luxury performance vehicles with the all-new XJ L. With five extra inches of wheelbase and total length, the all-new XJ L is more versatile than the regular XJ . By more versatile I mean that the XJ L seats three in the rear more comfortably, it can be driven by your personal chauffer when you have a busy schedule and can’t spend time looking for a parking space, you can also take care of your business in the rear using the fold-down wooden table for your laptop, phone or other electronic devises. The XJ L is also an excellent vehicle that can be used by companies ferrying visiting clients between the airport, the headquarters office, or to and from restaurants after long meetings.  Lastly, because of the longer wheelbase the ride is even smoother than the regular wheelbase XJ. The new XJ L brings new standards of sustainability to the luxury vehicle segment.  Its lightweight aluminum structure makes it at least 300 lbs. lighter over steel body construction, and is made of 50% recycled material allowing the XJ L to minimize its carbon footprint and create a potential savings of three tons of CO2 per vehicle, compared to a body made entirely of new aluminum.  These aerospace-inspired aluminum body technologies also provide benefits to performance, handling and fuel economy, while delivering increased strength, refinement and safety. The new 2011 XJ L is stunning, sleek, low and sexy from any angle that you view it.  With a total height of 57 inches, the XJ L is 1.3 inches lower than the new BMW 750 L. The first impression you get is its visual assertiveness.  The XJ L’s sleek lines are complemented by a taut waistline, which further accentuates the impressive of its extra length and elegance, and creates a natural tension as it fades from the front into the middle section of the car before reappearing as a strong haunch towards the rear. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Obviously the Porsche GT3 R Hybrid was not enough for Porsche. The Germans wanted to push the envelop even further, hence their creation of the Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid and now a full-on race car, the Porsche 918 RSR. The Porsche 918 is modeled after the infamous 917 but has advanced tech that you would expect in 2011. The new RSR version of the 918 is slightly different from the 918 Spyder Hybrid, it is basically a true-breed race car. The 918 RSR, just like the 918 Spyder Hybrid, features internals made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The RSR version should pack a combined 767 horsepower from its hybrid drivetrain with part of that coming from a 6.2-liter V8 that revs to an astonishing 10,300 rpm. Check out the Porsche 918 RSR Revealed at the Detroit Auto Show and several other exclusive 918 RSR videos from Porsche]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The SEMA show is the world’s largest automotive aftermarket venue and this year it has kicked off with a bang with many OEM auto manufacturers bringing some surprises. For one, Toyota has brought out all types of ‘modified’ vehicles that will appeal to all of its fan-base including Scions and Lexus vehicles galore. From a 680 horsepower Nascar-Themed Camry to a 505 horsepower Tacoma that sports a supercharged 5.7-liter V8 from the Tundra. Even the infamous ‘Swagger Wagon’ Toyota Sienna will be in true ‘swagger’ form. ]]></description>

		<title>New York Preview: 2010 GMC Terrain prepares to polarize</title>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: New York Auto Show , Crossovers/CUVs , GM , GMC 2010 GMC Terrain live shots - Click above for high-res image gallery While GMC's new-for-2010 Terrain crossover may be all but identical to Chevrolet's Equinox , one look at this bluff-faced polarizing design will tell you that badge-engineering wasn't part of the program at General Motors. Yes, both vehicles share the same platform, the same engine choices and even the same suspension calibrations, but the in-your-face look here is likely to inspire love-it-or-hate-it reactions. We'll let you decide on which side of the fence you sit, with one caveat: It is often the case that certain cars look better in the metal than on screen or in photographs. We were invited to GM's Design Dome for a media backgrounder, and after being in-and-around the vehicle, we profess that we can't make the same case. ]]></description>
