2012 Jaguar XJ Spy Shots

Meet the 2012 Jaguar XJ.  It doesn’t quite look like an XJ, you say?  What could be the matter?  Well, perhaps it’s the lack of a A FREAKING CAT ON THE HOOD.  The new XJ seems to have taken a cue from the  2009 Jaguar XF.  A Jag is not a Jag without a leaping [...]

2009 Mercury Milan Spy Shots

Some savvy spy photographers managed to get a couple shots of the 2009 Milan, which you see to your left.  ( Click the picture for the rest of the set ).  Updates aren’t expected to be major, since it’s more of a mid-cycle update than a redesign.  Ford is slated to introduce the hybrid powertrain [...]

Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid Spy Shot

Not content to leave Lexus alone in the luxury hybrid segment, Mercedes-Benz is readying it’s own entry.  Called the S400, this car will mate an electric motor with a V6 for a total of 275 HP.  Nothing exciting yet, right?  The cool part is that reportedly, Mercedes is going to use lithium-ion batteries, rather than [...]

2010 Kia Spectra

The 2010 Kia Spectra was caught on camera just recently, though it’s covered up pretty well.  This car will replace the current Spectra in 2009, though it may actually be released with a new name.  The name Spectra really has no brand equity, so a new name wouldn’t do much harm.  If anything, it could [...]

2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Interior Spy Shot

Someone managed to snap a spy shot of the interior of the upcoming 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8.  The shots are very small and don’t show the entire interior, but you can pick up a couple things.  First, the shifter is very strange, and I don’t care for it.  Second, the center stack looks awfully boring [...]

2009 Nissan Murano Review – Motive Mag

Motive Mag reviews the 2009 Nissan Murano and writes – ‘Cruising around Phoenix, Arizona, in a pre-production ’09 Murano, the improved drivetrain is immediately noticeable. Power engagement and ratio adjustments seem as natural as a traditional automatic but without all that fussy changing of cogs. The CVT shows itself as willing to hold a ratio [...]
