		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Minivan/Van , Honda 2011 Honda Odyssey - Click above for high-res image gallery When Honda pulled the wraps off of its Odyssey Concept at this year's Chicago Auto Show , we knew it was just a few small tweaks away from being production-ready. Well, four months later, the official details and images have been released, and while the 2011 Odyssey doesn't go a long way in offering fantastic new innovations for the minivan segment, it packages the whole thing together in what might be the best-looking minivan we have yet to see. The 2011 Odyssey is lower and wider than the outgoing model, and features what Honda is calling a "lightning bolt" beltline, a feature that was present on the concept van that we saw in Chicago. We aren't sure if we're in love with that quirky design element, but one thing's for sure, you won't see the origami fold and stepped greenhouse on any other minivan in the shopping mall parking lot. Other new features for the 2011 model year include available HID headlamps up front, new 18-inch alloy wheels, larger 12.6-inch ventilated front disc brakes, revised side mirrors and a power tailgate]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The new Mugen body kit consists in a new front sports grille, new front spoiler, side skirts, rear roof spoiler and rear under spoiler. The vehicle received a high-performance air filter and new sports silencer, but also new sports suspension kit, new brake rotor and 16” alloy wheels. Looking on the outside, the Freed looks gorgeous from the front as a stylish mini van 4+2 seaters. Yes, this Freed is more towards mini van concept which has smaller room and high platform position. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Spy Photos , Minivan/Van , Nissan , Design/Style Nissan Quest teaser image - Click above to enlarge Earlier this year, we reported that Nissan would be dropping the Quest minivan from its lineup for the 2010 model year, but we noted that a replacement is in the works. Today, Nissan is showing off this teaser image of the next-generation model which will go on sale in early 2011. Details are slim as of this writing, but what we can gather from this shadowy photo is that the new Quest will look substantially different than the odd-looking outgoing model. While many automakers have been abandoning the minivan segment, Japanese rivals at Toyota and Honda continue to duke it out - the former with their new Sienna and the latter with their soon-to-be all-new Odyssey . Whether because of its avante-garde styling or occasionally indifferent quality control, Nissan's current Quest has never really found its sales groove here in North America. Will the new model change things? Only time will tell. Hit the jump for Nissan's brief statement about this Quest teaser, and click here to see the high-res version.

		<description><![CDATA[ ‘SUPER HIGH PERFORMANCE BLENDS SUPER LUXURY’ Challenging the rules and standing out from the crowd, the new XFR fuses sports car styling and high-performance with the refinement and sophistication of a luxury sedan. It is a defining example of Jaguar’s dedication to creating beautiful fast cars-and with a magnificent new engine, that are quite simply the best ever setting new standards across the board. When it was introduced last year, the all-new XFR was soon recognized as a dramatic expression of a bold new Jaguar design language.  It also soon became apparent that here as a car where the driving experience exceeded the expectations created by the striking exterior styling. Now, the new XFR takes this driving experience to new levels, shifting the balance even further towards dynamic super high performance while still retaining the XF’s core values as a refined and luxurious sports sedan. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The 2010 Nissan Maxima still stands tall as Nissan&#8217;s flagship sedan entering into the performance and luxury segment as the infamous 4-door sports car. A 290hp 3.5-liter VQ series  V6 engine delivering power to the front wheels through a CVT transmission does not make the new Maxima “soft” by any means. It is firmly planted and means business. The new styling of the Maxima introduced in 2009 adds a boldness appeal that gets some design cues from its beastly brother, the Nissan GT-R. Nissan is known for solid drivetrains and the new Maxima does not sway from that tradition. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ With so many cars being featured on the internet every week, we have decided to feature one such car on AutomotiveAddicts.com for our readers to enjoy.  This week is a rare gem from Bavaria. There is little known of this specific example of an E9 coupe, except the following quote, &#8220;3.5 (M90) motor with CR dogleg and 3.07 lsd.&#8221;  A google search revealed the photographer&#8217;s facebook, but the option to message him was turned off. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ With its introduction in 2009 as a midsize performance coupe with a standard 4.2 liter V8 engine, the S5 coupe turned on many coupe enthusiasts and auto journalists with the cutting-edge styling, V8 power and interior amenities.  Also, the all-new 2009 S5 coupe went against the trend of manufacturing smaller cars to help with the rising price of fuel.  This year Audi chops the top off the S5 and replaces the 4.2 liter V8 with a 3.0 liter twin intercooled supercharger unit backed up with the new 7-speed S-Tronic automatic transmission.  This strategy works because the new engine gives 20% better overall fuel mileage yet makes the same 325lb.ft. of torque as the larger V8 engine.  The supercharger also generates more low-end torque enabling the S5 cabriolet to match the 0-60mph time of just 5.2sec.  You can still get the V8 if you want but it is only available in the S5 coupe. This convertible model is something very special and unique.  With just a push of the chrome-tipped toggle switch on the center console the stunning red cloth top raises or lowers in just 15sec., the fastest of any convertible in the segment, and it is also as quiet as the coupe because of Audi’s outstanding acoustic sound-insulating technology.  After driving seven days behind the wheel with the top up, it does block out much of the outside noise. Also exclusive to the S5 soft top is the split rear folding seats with automatic controls in the trunk to quick lower each rear seat back to increase storage space with the top up or down.  Finally, when the engine is turned on or in accessory mode, the seat belt is automatically extended 6in. out of its keeper to make grabbing it more convenience and safer.  Another industry first!  When the top is down and you want less wind noise you can easily attach the standard wind blocker. The Audi signature dynamic five link independent front suspension and multi-link rear suspension is slightly less sport-tuned than the S5 coupe because of the heavier weight of the convertible top, but it handles just fine getting around slower city traffic or on the open road.  Put the 7-speed automatic in S (sport) mode and the suspension tightens, the gear changes come faster and the Servotronic speed sensitive steering reaction quickens to your inputs.  The Quattro AWD system has also been enhanced with the new rear torque bias.  It is fantastic!  You are truly riding on rails as the S5 convertible just sticks like glue on the pavement]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Bigger and More Curvaceous The new M56 is based on the second-generation FM platform that is currently used in the Nissan 370Z , Infiniti&#8217;s FX50 and G37 . The 2011 Infiniti M56 has minor changes in the length and height, while the front track increases 1.4 inches and the rear by 0.8 inch. More obvious, Nissan widened the M56 by 2 inches and retained the same wheelbase. With these adjustments the 2011 M56 suggests &#8220;premium&#8221; in the way that only a roomier cabin can. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The new 2010 Audi S4 sedan benefits not only from the new A4’s longer wheelbase and wider track increasing both ride comfort and high speed stability, but the new S4 also benefits from the new 3.0 liter DOHC, FSI direct fuel injected supercharged engine with dual intercoolers. This lighter V6 engine generates 333hp at 6,500-7,000rpm and 325lb.ft. of torque at 2,900-5,300rpm.  This smaller lighter engine enables the new S4 to accelerate to 60mph in just 4.9sec. with either the standard 6-speed manual, or the optional 7-speed dual-clutch S-Tronic automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering column.  To increase acceleration, make quicker gear changes and enhance handling performance you can shift the gated shifter from Drive into Sport. The new S4 is fun and thrilling to drive, either around slow moving city traffic, on the open road at high speeds or when challenging steep turns on the back roads.  In just 0.2sec you can change gears, up or down, to make the most of the new supercharged engine.  Just a quick tap and you are on your on your way to excitement and thrills that   Audi delivers]]></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[ For 2010, Acura expands the performance and appeal of the TSX sports sedan by adding a V6 powered TSX to its lineup.  Targeted at a performance oriented near-luxury buyer, the 2010 TSX brings more power by offering a new 3.5 liter V6 model to its popular sport sedan line-up. The new 2010 TSX V6 can go toe-to-toe with the top sports sedans in it class.  Matched with 18in. wheels and a revised suspension, the TSX V6 is proof positive that a smart vehicle choice doesn’t have to be a boring vehicle choice. Designed as a desirable choice for entry-level luxury sport sedan buyers, the second generation TSX is larger, more agile; more performance oriented and even ‘ more Acura ’ than ever before.  The latest has evolved to offer more comfort, convenience and safety.  It does so with expanded luxury and electronic features, a wider stance for more agile handling and advanced safety systems]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Rollin&#8217;, in my 5.0 with my rag-top down so my hair can blow” Yes, that was one of many favorite songs in the 1990’s. For those who just adored the Ford Mustang 5.0, they were even more thrilled to have the honorable mention in Queen’s “Under Pressure” oops, I mean Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice baby”.

		<description><![CDATA[ The all-new 2010 Mazda 3s 4-door Grand Touring edition offers the consumer bolder styling, more power and performance, more comfortable interior and added standard safety systems.  The car is an overall sophistication that ventures beyond the sport-compact segment to rival import models costing thousands more. Realizing that the Zoom-Zoom emotional spirit is both static and dynamic, Mazda gave the new 3i a more expressive and sophisticated interior and exterior with added sportiness.  New features-many of which are borrowed from the new Mazda6-are also introduced in here with the aid of exceeding constantly rising consumer expectations. Ultimately, Mazda designed and engineered a whole new Mazda3 that blends the best of the first-generation with large and small refinements in countless areas. It begins with the bold grille that is purposely polarizing.  It is the new ‘face’ of Mazda]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Love it or hate it, this is really it, the new 2011 Hyundai Sonata. We have witnessed several renditions of what the new Hyundai Sonata would look like and some of them were not off by far. The new stylish design resembles that of a VW Passat CC or even the Benz CLS with roof lines that mimic a coupe. Visually the car looks totally different from one end to the other. Hyundai is no longer the “el-cheapo” car from Korea (same goes for the sister nameplate Kia), it is the one that gives Toyota&#8217;s Camry and Honda&#8217;s Accord a run for their money in more ways than just the 10-year powertrain warranty. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata does not just go up against the normal run-of-the-mill Camry or Accord]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I always had a thing for big Audi’s ever since I saw the Audi S8 in the movie &#8216;Ronin&#8217;. I thought it was just the coolest thing to see a big car perform like a smaller one. The movie makers later introduced a newer A8 in the movies &#8216;Transporter 2&#8242; and &#8216; Transporter 3 &#8216;. That really did it in for me. And now, the all new 2011 Audi A8 is revealed and it still grabs my attention. Audi has kept the new 2011 A8 in its classic form with a few softer edges added to the design]]></description>
