Aston Martin has much to look ahead to. The British sports performance brand -- made famous by James Bond -- is finally coming back home. And the most stellar news is the impending launch of the DBS and Aston Martin's four-door sports car, the Rapide
To exemplify our passionate feelings we chose a Bronze 2009 Jaguar XF SV8 with its supercharged 4.2-liter V8 to power us through the streets of Monaco in the south of France. The all-new sports sedan hits the market this spring as the replacement for the slow selling S-Type. It’s Jag’s latest creation since the exquisite redesign of the XK coupe and convertible.
No need to adjust your focus. Cadillac is going after the sultry coupe market with its 2+2 CTS Coupe Concept recently unveiled at the 2008 North American International Show in Detroit.

With the streets and highways of America as its driving course, Audi proved clean diesel passes the real-world test. Completing the cross country Mileage Marathon, Audi's TDI fleet not only redefined diesel as a ultra-low emission alternative to gas-powered vehicles, but also posted noteworthy fuel efficiency numbers.
Porsche sees light at the end of their economic tunnel and are hoping to brighten things up with a new version of the Boxster, their entry-level sports car. The Boxster Spyder has a cool dual-humped rear deck, to which a cloth top attaches. This is a model thatâs truly about being an open-air car. Itâs lighter because much has been taken out of the car to make it perform better. They say it does, and even sitting still it looks like it should. Distributed by Tubemogul.
The current XJ, timeless in design and sophisticated in presence, represents a history full of fond memories and remarkable achievements. Yet -- as all things must -- Jaguar needed to evolve its entire lineup into the future, a task not easy as patrons become accustomed to the âÂÂknownâ and fearful of the âÂÂunknown.â Nevertheless, with such an intrepid move on JaguarâÂÂs part by far, the 2010 XJ is now more suitable to compete with the Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series.
Enter the Japanese -- the best at giving you more for less -- and you will be pleasantly surprised at some of their offerings. One of which is very incomprehensible for many to understand. It’s the 2009 Nissan GT-R which is faster than a Corvette Z06, Audi R8, BMW M6, Porsche Carrera GT, Dodge Viper, Ford GT and everything else your inquisitive mind can conjure up!
Sublime is the mind of those that support greatness. For those that oppose, well we wish them all the best. The 2009 Porsche 911 rocks and rolls like no other 911 before it. Now in its 6th generation, the Carrera is updated tremendously with new hardware and software such as the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) dual-clutch seven-speed transmission, Direct Fuel Injection and a set of updated horizontally opposed six cylinder Boxer engines.

âMay the Best Car Win" were not just words used as a marketing theme, it became a battle cry as GM's Vice Chairman Bob Lutz challenged any 4-door high-performance luxury sedan to a timed match against the Cadillac CTS-V.

Though it hit the muscle car era late, the Challenger made its mark. And now Dodge has beaten Chevy and its Camaro to market and gets the head start on muscle mania. And no worries on pricing! Expect a base model Challenger SRT8 to price at $37,995 with only three options
Legends aren’t made, they’re born. So when BMW decided to play around with racing in 1986 they also found themselves playing with history. For 2008, the 4th generation M3 is offered as a coupe and a four-door sedan with the convertible to follow shortly. The four-liter naturally aspirated light-alloy powerplant outputs 414 horspower at 8300 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque at 3900 rpm. It doesn’t redline until 8400 rpm so the high-revving engine is able to hold each gear longer for maximum acceleration. With a power to weight ratio of 8.9 lbs/hp the new V8 is stronger, yet lighter than the 3.2-liter 333 horsepower straight six it replaces from the third gen M3. Expect the coupe to move you from 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds. Top speed is limited to 155 mph.
