		<description><![CDATA[ The all-new 2010 Mercury Milan hybrid builds on a strong foundation since it is the sibling of the Ford Fusion hybrid, voted ‘2010 Car of the Year’ from Motor Trend Magazine, with the same quality and reliability, but adding sophisticated exterior and interior design cues.  For those consumers looking for a stylish hybrid, the Milan now offers them the most fuel-efficient hybrid sedan in its class. Chief designer Darrell Behmer and his team had the advantage of working from a vehicle that’s been lauded by consumers and consumer groups.  “Our approach was to build upon the Milan’s strengths-to improve rather than reinvent,” Behmer said.  “From a design standpoint, we wanted to clarify the design, making it cleaner and more modern.” The changes to the exterior design were focused on the grille, hood, and front and rear fascias.  The chin was pulled forward and the fascia was pulled down to give the new Milan hybrid a wider, sportier look.  Those changes as well as substantial underbody work made for a cleaner, more aerodynamic sedan.  Exterior highlights include the brushed aluminum vertical grille bars, lower air intake with a lower brushed aluminum horizontal bar, cat’s-eye headlamps, lower projector beam foglamps, steeply swept back windshield pillars, aerodynamic power-remote side mirrors, flared fenders with lighted side marker on the front fenders, deeper lower rocker panels, LED wraparound rear lamps, a spoiler attached to the top of the trunk lid with a brushed aluminum horizontal bar at the lower end of the trunk lid, and a blacked out center below the bumper with two side-by-side polished stainless steel exhaust tips. Inside, the design team created a more contemporary, technical look with metallic new finishes on the instrument panel that carry through on the center console, door trim and steering wheel.  The all-new instrument panel is finished with a soft upper and lower skin and has much less hard plastic than Japanese competitors.  A redesigned tilt/telescoping, leather wrapped steering wheel with form fitting palm swells, a new leather/chrome shifter, and wrapped and padded armrests have been added, increasing Milan’s sportiness and comfort at all key driver touch points.  The seats received a makeover as well.  The seat contour has been revised, with more side support and overall a more comfortable seat with smoother bolsters and more-textural inserts.  The seats also feature contrasting stitching and leather inserts to give the Milan even more attitude, befitting this mid-size sedan. The new gauge cluster has been designed with day time backlighting, a black lens, and 3-D elements to create a high tech jewel-like appearance, similar to a find watch.  Drivers will be greeted by a new ‘welcome’ sequence that makes the Milan seem as if its coming to life with you turn the ignition on.  Gauges needles sweep back and forth as the lighting and new chimes come on.  The ambient lighting system offers the option of illuminating the front and rear footwells and front cupholders.  The two-tone look on the inside continues as a Milan signature, with satin-aluminum accents around the center stack and door pulls plus you’ll also appreciate the dual map lamps, dual lighted vanity mirrors, power windows/door locks and grab handles above each door that further gives the new Milan hybrid a more European flair.  You also get 2-12-volt power plugs and a 110-volt power outlet. The Ford hybrid team has developed a powertrain system that combines the best attributes of the gasoline engine and electric battery-driven motors to deliver the optimal experience for the smart consumer in terms of driving performance and fuel economy, and besting the Toyota Camry hybrid by at least 6mpg in the city. The overall system upgrade allows the Mercury Milan and Ford Fusion hybrids to operate at higher speeds in electric mode.  Both hybrid vehicles can operate up to 47mph in pure electric mode, as long as you are not driving up hill or under hard throttle, which is approximately twice as fast as some other competitors.  Plus, city driving range on a single tank of gas is expected to be more than 700 miles.  I was amazed at how fast on level travel the Milan was able to go.  I just kept pressing and releasing the gas pedal to keep the mpg gauge at 50. This next-generation hybrid system features a new 2.5 liter c-cylinder engine (155hp/136lbft]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Concept Cars , Sedan , Government/Legal , Work , Ford , Specialty Hold on to your sap gloves and night sticks - it's that time of the decade! An Autoblog source reveals that Ford is about to release a brand spankin' new Police Interceptor . Not only is this humongous news for our pals in the law enforcement community, but this is 120-point headline font for taxi companies around the country, as they typically buy old Police Interceptors with 90,000 miles on 'em and repurpose them as the cabs we all know and love passing out in. Why? Because Police Interceptors are the toughest passenger cars money can buy. Few of us have the need to drive over curbs at 50+ mph, but if that need arises, you're going to want to do so in an Interceptor. Aside from the "severe duty" shocks, you get a beefed up frame and body mounts. Yes, that is correct. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Concept Cars , Convertible , Hybrid , Performance , Porsche Porsche 918 Spyder Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery We still haven't stopped drooling over the Porsche 918 Spyder concept , a car that debuted at this year's Geneva Motor Show . It's a sexy infusion of both Boxster and Carrera GT influences, with a dash of hybrid power thrown in for good measure. What's not to love about a 500-horsepower, V8-powered roadster that can hit 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds? Oh, and did we mention that, because of its additional electric motors, Porsche claims that the 918 can also achieve up to 78 miles per gallon? We highly approve. According to Autocar , we aren't the only ones swooning over the 918. In fact, Porsche is apparently fully committed to building a serial version of the Spyder. No official confirmation has been made, but in speaking to Autocar , Porsche boss Michael Macht says, "There is no one inside Porsche who doesn't want to build the 918," later adding, "The 918 Spyder proves the answer to whether there can be high-performance cars in the future." If this concept does get the green light for production, we could likely see it hit the streets within the next five years. We'll do our best to remain patient. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Truck , Work , Nissan , Misc. Auto Shows Nissan NV commercial vans - Click above for high-res image gallery Historically, America's commercial vehicle marketplace has been dominated by domestic automakers. Besides a small percentage of Sprinter sales from Dodge while under Daimler ownership, the fullsize van market has really only been occupied by Ford , General Motors and Chrysler . Nissan is ready to change all that, and its opening salvo in the commercial vehicle marketplace is its NV series of vans. Nissan's NV series - "NV" rather unimaginatively stands for Nissan Van, for what it's worth - relies on three different designations, NV1500, 2500 HD and 3500 HD, and two different roof heights (the High Roof is only available on the NV2500 HD and NV3500 HD models) to provide a platform for every conceivable need. Opting for the tall version will provide enough room for most people to stand up inside with no need to duck. Interestingly, Nissan's research indicates that commercial van owners are the least satisfied of any vehicle segment, and as such, the automaker says that the NV design is that of an armored car a 'clean-sheet' approach resulting from one of the most researched projects Nissan has ever undertaken. That research has yielded a vehicle that utilizes a fully boxed steel ladder frame and rear-wheel drive with either a 4.0-liter V6 or an optional 5.6-liter V8]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Chevrolet 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon - Click above for high-res image gallery For the truly hard-core Corvette fanatic who likes to spend weekends thrashing his or her car at the track, there is only one Corvette worthy of consideration: the Z06. However, thanks to the ZR1 , the lightweight, normally aspirated 7.0-liter coupe is no longer the absolute quickest Vette, but it is felt to have the most responsive handling. What it doesn't have is the uber-cool carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber body panels and magnetic ride active damping system of its supercharged sibling. That can now be changed to past tense with the birth of the Z06 Carbon edition announced today by General Motors. The Z06 Carbon was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of the Corvette at the 24 Hours of Le Mans when John Fitch and Briggs Cunningham won their class and finished eighth overall. The Carbon edition is essentially a Z06 with a ZR1 chassis and some of the carbon skin]]></description>

Sikes called 911 for assistance, but a California Highway Patrol officer caught up to the car, and the officer used a loudspeaker to give Sikes instructions on how to safely stop the vehicle with the emergency brake.

"As it was going, I was trying the brakes... it wasn't stopping," Sikes recounts. The highway patrol officer said that Sikes had reached speeds of over 90 miles per hour.

In a statement issued Monday night, Toyota says that it has dispatched a field technical specialist to investigate the case]]></description>
