		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Budget , Sedan , Volkswagen , Diesel 2011 Volkswagen Jetta - Click above for high-res image gallery The sixth-generation 2011 Jetta is a pretty big deal for Volkswagen . The automaker has developed a completely new platform for the new model (instead of simply relying on Golf architecture), and the end result is a car that is 3.5 inches longer than its predecessor. This should mean that much more passenger room will be on deck, enabling the Jetta to really compete within the midsize sedan segment (as well as the compact class). As for the design, it's admittedly a bit predictable, but we're glad to see the Jetta no longer being styled as a Golf sedan. What's more, we can see hints of the NCC concept car from this year's Detroit Auto Show , and while it's not overly sexy, it still looks clean and crisp. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Sedan , Volkswagen 2011 Volkswagen Jetta leaked images - Click above for high-res image gallery Thanks to a leak from the boys at Auto Express in the UK, we can show you these few shots of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta , along with a couple of salient details. Unlike all previous versions of the compact sedan, Volkswagen didn't just graft a trunk to the Golf hatchback to create the Jetta; instead the platform was stretched between the wheels to create a roomier package and more real estate for distinctive styling. Our European friends will reportedly be getting their choice of a 104-horsepower 1.2-liter TSI, a slightly larger 1.4 TSI with 121 horses or a 200-horsepower 2.0-liter TSI, all burning gasoline. On the diesel front, a 104-horsepower 1.6 TDI kicks things off, followed by a 2.0-liter TDI with 138 ponies. Stay tuned for more information as VW officially releases the rest of the details on its next-generation Jetta, and in the meantime check out the three leaked images in our gallery below.

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Performance , Hatchback , Volkswagen , Reviews 2010 Volkswagen GTI - click above for high-res image gallery In 1983, Run-DMC was fresh (which meant dope), Volvo 760 Turbos weighed 3,300 pounds and the 2,200-pound Volkswagen GTI made its U.S. debut. In 2010, the Rabbit-turned- Golf entered its sixth generation and attempted to draw a clear line to the first-generation car. The historical link has been made especially clear in the 2010 Volkswagen GTI, though it's gone through the typical changes you face when you hit your 30s. The GTI is now 1,000 pounds porkier, but it's still as slick as a greased pig when it comes to handling. Inside, there's plaid seat upholstery and higher-quality materials. Just like it was back in '83, the underhood motivation is only available from a four-cylinder, a change from recent generations that could be stuffed with Volkswagen's VR6]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ There are many small hidden players in the automotive industry that few outsiders never hear of, even though they make huge contributions to it.  Gearhead Performance Group (GPG) is one of those rarely heard of, which has unveiled designs for a new Pontiac Trans Am concept based on the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Fashioned after the original Camaro-based Pontiac Trans AM from 1971, the new design has been in development for the past several years and is now ready to be ordered. The modern version comes with a LS9 engine like the one found in the Corvette ZR1 except the Trans AM has a pair of twin-turbochargers bolted on instead of the standard ZR-1 supercharger. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The Buick Regal GS is a lightly disguised concept car. It is a stick-shift sedan that reaches 60 mph in less than six seconds. The GS, short for Grand Sport, was a badge worn by Buick&#8217;s muscle cars in the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s. My favorite Buick was the 87 GNX. Never knew you could get a V6 to do such beautiful things]]></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>

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>

		<description><![CDATA[ The all-new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-550 sporty luxury sedan breaks new safety and design barriers to become one of the market’s best engineered and smartest sedans, a definite ‘trend setter’. This all-new E-Class model is the ninth-generation of this highly successful model line with a total of more than 10-million produced over the past 60-years. The design of the new E-Class sedan begins with a ‘cubist’ treatment of the trademark M-B twin-headlight face.  Two parallelogram white LED lights are recessed into the front fenders, bracketing the three-dimensional frame of the front grille.  The overall body shape features a sophisticated interplay between line and surfaces.  Taut, clearly defined lines help define large concave and convex surfaces.  In particular, a graceful line follows each rear wheel-well and shapes the muscular contours of the rear fenders.  The new car looks futuristic in many respects and is the world’s most aerodynamic sedan with a co-efficient of drag of just 0.25 giving back better fuel economy and less wind noise. The car is available with four engine choices, the standard is the E350 liter with a 3.5 liter V6 making 268hp, the E550 comes with a 5.5 liter V8 making 382hp, the E350 BlueTEC comes with an innovative V6 turbodiesel that makes 210hp.  The high-performance E63 AMG is fitted with a 518hp 6.3 liter V8.  Any new E-Class is fun and easy to drive whether in sport or luxury trim.  All luxury models come with a comfort suspension while the sport models are fitted with a sport-tuned suspension that has stiffer shocks and springs as well as a slightly lower ride height]]></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[ The test mule was again spotted, but still nothing is really known about this perticular model driving around near Modena. You will definitely spot the bulge on the hood, but what it exactly holds is unknown. The rumours suggest this model is due for 2012 and is in the early phase of testing. However, previous stories suggest Ferrari is developing a hybrid system or even a new V12 engine with a twin turbo setup. WorldCarFans even suggests it could be that Fiat’s MultiAir system is temporarily fitted to this test mule in order to see how much performance enhancement can be pulled from that. Rumor has it that the new direct-injected V12 will be 40 percent less polluting and get 40 percent better gas mileage than the 5.7-liter V12 presently in use, even as it&#8217;s expected to get a slight 7-horsepower bump to 540]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Illtech Tuning Auto Salon’s Cody Johnson sits down for an exclusive interview by Driving Sports TV for a look at the Illtech R35 Nissan GT-R. As Cody explains in the video, their GT-R project car has many tuning modifications in the works. The initial tuning allows the GT-R to put down just over 600hp and 600 ft-lbs of torque to the wheels all on 92 octane gas. Future plans include the adaptation of methanol or race fuel and a rebuild of the transmission or switch to a 6-speed manual to handle the added power. Exterior aesthetics are highlight by the iForged 22 inch wheels and an aftermarket exhaust that makes the sweetest sound I have heard from a GT-R so far. Enjoy the exclusive video: Taming the Serpent: Illtech’s R35 GT-R]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Instead of “sexual chocolate” in the movie “Coming to America” this is more like “the newest Volkswagen pocket rocket” that will be coming to America in the form of a R20 instead of the infamous R32. Volkswagen just revealed their new R version of the MK VI Golf (6 th generation Golf) at the Frankfurt Motor Show last month. Just recently we received a confirmation that the new Golf “R” version aka GTI-R or R20, will be headed to the United States branded as “GTI-R”. The 2010 Golf GTI-R will have the same engine as the Scirocco R, which we will not see in the U.S. It will incorporate VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system matched to a 265hp 2.0-liter TSI engine. Of course the DSG tranny will be an option which is good for a pocket-rocket dash from 0 to 60mph in 5.5 seconds. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ One of the latest concepts from Lamborghini was somehow photographed on the streets in Cologne, Germany. Recent speculation said that this car was not going to be produced, let alone appearing in what seemed to be a shot-shoot. The Lamborghini Estoque, if you have been keeping up, is slated as Lamborghini’s 4-door vehicle to be put up against exotic sports sedans such as the new Bugatti 16C Galibier , Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide . Reportedly, Lamborghini said months ago, &#8220;No decision has been made to produce the Estoque.&#8221; So, with that said, draw your own conclusions.

		<description><![CDATA[ There is no reason to doubt the fact that Porsche has been one of the most prominent staples in the automotive world. It was almost an instant classic when the Porsche 356 and 911 were first introduced. From the 911 to the VW Beetle, Ferdinand &#8220;Ferry&#8221; Anton Ernst Porsche would set out to launch one of the most successful car design firms ever. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The newest 2011 Infiniti QX56 recently made an appearance in the Middle East at an invitation-only event. Someone was able to capture a couple shots of Nissan’s newest mammoth SUV that is a much wanted update to the outgoing Nissan Armada and 2010 Infiniti QX56 . Looking at the grainy spy shots will reveal several Infiniti and Nissan-esq design cues including the strait forward sweeping roof like, reminiscent of the GT-R, Cube and even Kia Soul (really?). The rear tail lamps remind you of the current Infiniti FX crossovers while the front headlights and front grill are pure Infiniti. More details to be announced when they become available.
