GMC reveals gussied-up Acadia Denali for 2011 {Autoblog}

Dec 17th 2009 2:14PM I just think the grille has way too many competing shapes.

Dec 17th 2009 12:49PM The other thing that needs to be reiterated is this will be the last of the Fords rebadged as Lincolns. People are still complaining about that as if it's "business as usual". It's just an MCR (mid cycle refresh) so I hope people understand that's the reason. In another few years there will be entirely new Edge/MKX models that will look completely different the same way the MKS and MKT look different from their Ford platform mates currently. As it is, this is a much more extensive MCR than say, Honda or Toyota would do on their vehicles. These cars are getting all new front and rear facias as well as all new powerplants and interiors. Can't ask for much more than that from an MCR.

Design-wise I think this is the best and most well-proportioned version of the Lincoln front end to date. The Ford front end is a little too big for me in the grille but at least the bars have some dimension and flow into the headlamps nicely. They are moving away from the "razor blade" look. Pretty much every company is doing a version of the 3 horizontal bars on their grilles now so I think Ford will probably move on. I like how the little notch at the corner of the lamps lines up with the opening below the top bar. Size wise it isn't bigger than the new Caddy and Audi grilles, which are HUGE. The problem is they'll probably make the bars all chrome on most versions.

Dec 17th 2009 12:34PM Far as I know they are getting Ecoboosts but just the 2.0 liter 4. It will be the first use of that powertrain in the US. Nothing I've heard suggests they will get the 3.5. It would jack the price up way higher than necessary.

Ford shows retouched Galaxy, S-Max with EcoBoost power ahead of Brussels Motor Show {Autoblog}

Dec 16th 2009 2:20PM From what I've heard that engine is capable of much more. Close to 300hp. Probably detuned to maximize MPG.

CTS-V Challenge driver and M3 owner Michael Cooper gets pat on the back from BMW {Autoblog}

Dec 15th 2009 12:24AM Anyone else think this was a Pontiac G8 at first glance? The lighting washes out the side bone line and the guy is covering up the headlight. I just saw a double kidney grill, fender vent, and Hoffmeister kink. Of course the wheels are better than anything from the general, but overall it says good things about the G8 (God rest its soul).

Review: 2010 Nissan Maxima SV Sport is a lot of car for a lot of coin {Autoblog}

Dec 14th 2009 12:39PM I think it interesting that VW is one of the only (if not THE only) automakers to never offer a vehicle with a traditional front engine, rear drive layout.

REPORT: Toyota to add 850 more jobs in San Antonio to build more pickups {Autoblog}

Dec 8th 2009 10:16AM So the "worlds greenest automaker" is making more giant trucks because it is financially beneficial to do so at this time? INCONCEIVABLE!!

Dec 8th 2009 12:44AM I love the Mustang, but that one is like Usain Bolt on ice skates. The launch clearly shows the driver babying it for fear of losing traction. Like someone else said, the Mustang would benefit FAR more from racing slicks and wheels than the Nissan.
