2012 Land Rover Defender,New

The roots of the Land Rover Defender can be traced back to 1948 when Land Rover vehicles established themselves as the most capable and rugged off-roaders in the world.

The 2012 Land Rover Defender will get a new Euro 5 compliant 2.2 liter diesel engine. The new engine has lower emissions than the old engine courtesy a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The six-speed gearbox has been retained from the outgoing defender. The other optional pack is called the off-road pack.

Land Rover's utilitarian off-road SUV became known as the Defender Ninety and Defender One Ten in 1985, with the numbers respectively representing the two- and four-door models' wheelbases (rounded to the nearest 10). Of course, this is the history of the Land Rover Defender in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world.

Most Recent Land Rover Defender
The two-door Land Rover Defender 90 was sold for 1994, 1995 and 1997. There were two body styles available. The hardtop body style debuted in 1995 featuring an aluminum roof with pop-up sunroof, an internal/external "safari cage" and four center-facing rear seats. For 1997, Land Rover fitted the Discovery's 4.0-liter aluminum V8 that yielded 182 hp and 233 lb-ft of torque into the Defender. (Even to this day, the thoroughly updated Defender sold elsewhere doesn't have them.) The Land Rover Defender 90 does the job it was intended to do well.

Other off-road specialists like the Jeep Wrangler will probably suit your trail needs just as well as the Defender at a lower price, although none boast the Land Rover's British pedigree.

Past Land Rover Defender Models
In 1993, Land Rover sold 500 units of the four-door Defender 110 in the United States. Featuring a stretched version of the later two-door model's frame, it featured a wheelbase that surpassed that time's Range Rover.

Toyota Camry 2012

2012 Toyota Camry interior
We all know how the 2012 Toyota Camry looks like. We first saw numerous images of the new Camry under disguise then Toyota went on to release a teaser video of the car. The exterior design of the car is not what you would ‘groundbreaking’. The first interior image which is apparently of the dashboard on the new Toyota Camry looks pretty plain and practical.

Honda too has come under criticism for the new Honda Civic. Ref: The 2012 Toyota Camry leaked in video and pictures and Another new 2012 Toyota Camry teaser unveiled Fact is, the 2012 Toyota Camry is scheduled for release in the fall. Toyota needs a winner to spark a return to profitability.

Assessing Toyota Stock From technical chart perspective, Toyota stock is in a funk along with the rest of the auto sector stocks. In my opinion, if that level is broken, it will likely be the general market and global credit issues driving the stock down, not Toyota as a company.

Last month as Toyota stock was challenging a price gap at 84 level, I asked the question: Will that 2012 Toyota Camry be enough news to empower the stock through an upside gap? Introduction The new 2012 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid are set to debut in the fall of 2011. Entune is Toyota's brand-new cloud-based data system.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro,Reviews

For 2012, the Chevrolet Camaro sees a number of improvements. The new Camaro ZL1 is a fitting homage to the legendary ZL1 high-performance engine option for the 1969 Camaro that was favored among acceleration addicts and bench-racing braggarts.

A six-speed manual transmission is standard, with a six-speed automatic being optional. Although not as glamorous as the mighty ZL1, other 2012 Chevrolet Camaro trims get notable updates for 2012. This year's rearview camera helps for parking, but the Camaro's low-profile windows still make it difficult to park and even slightly disconcerting place while cornering at speed.

The 2012 Chevy Camaro is a four-seat coupe or convertible available in V6-powered 1LS and 2LS (coupe only), 1LT and 2LT trim levels, and V8-powered 1SS and 2SS trim levels. The RS package (available on all trims but the LS) adds 20-inch wheels and xenon headlights. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg with the manual. Every 2012 Chevy Camaro comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and OnStar. More important, the 2012 Camaro has a new steering wheel that's much more ergonomic and comfortable to grip than last year's.

General Motors revealed a high-performance 2012 Chevrolet Camaro at the Chicago Auto Show Wednesday, saying the car will be the fastest-ever Camaro it has ever built.
20-inch aluminum wheels support specially-developed Goodyear Supercar F2 tires.

Packed with performance technologies, highlighted by Magnetic Ride Control, and advanced materials – including a vented carbon fiber hood insert. Extensive aerodynamic development designed for high-performance driving
CHICAGO – The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show. It is the highest-performing Camaro and the most technically advanced car ever developed in its class.

Motivated by a supercharged V-8 engine producing an estimated 550 horsepower (410 kW), the Camaro ZL1 will be the fastest 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ever offered by Chevrolet. Camaro ZL1's design communicates and supports its performance mission. "Everything about the ZL1's design is directly related to its technology and serious performance, especially aerodynamics," said Ed Welburn, vice president, Global Design. Major elements of the ZL1's design are a new front fascia and hood with air extractors, designed in tandem to create aerodynamic downforce to aid handling.

Components and design elements that contribute to the LSA's
performance include:
High-strength hypereutectic pistons
Because the Camaro ZL1 uses electric power steering, the engine does not incorporate a conventional hydraulic power steering pump on its accessory drive system. Camaro ZL1 is a complete high-performance car, not just a Camaro with more power. Transmission – The high-performance Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual is matched with the LSA engine. Exhaust – ZL1 is equipped with a dual-mode exhaust system, which alters the sound level and character in response to engine rpm. This patent-pending system is designed to ensure that ZL1's tremendous power is delivered smoothly to the ground.

Other chassis elements are redesigned to support the car's high-performance limits. Brakes and Steering – Camaro ZL1 features an advanced track-capable braking system, developed in conjunction with experts from Brembo. ZL1 marks the entry of a new electric power steering system to Camaro. Exterior – ZL1's signature from the front is the redesigned fascia and aluminum hood with a raised, carbon fiber insert. The hood features front-mounted air extractors that direct air precisely over the car.

Visually, this center section, in satin black carbon fiber, communicates the car's high-performance intent as a visual contrast to the car's exterior color. Interior – ZL1 is tailored for high-performance driving.

GMC trucka Sierra 1500,Reviews

More recent times have seen GMC's full-size truck adopt the name Sierra, which was previously an upscale trim level.

As with its rivals, the modern-day GMC trucka Sierra 1500 full-size pickup is available with a wide variety of body styles, powertrains and trim levels.

Older versions of the GMC Sierra 1500 pickup have been praised for their strong work ethic, but soundly criticized for their bland, cheap cabins.

Current GMC trucka Sierra 1500
The GMC Sierra 1500 offers three body styles (regular, extended and crew cabs) and trim levels ranging from no-frills "Work Truck" to ultra-plush Denali. Powertrain choices, traditionally a strong point, encompass everything from a frugal 4.3-liter 195-horsepower V6 to a muscular 6.2-liter V8 with 403 hp. Most Sierras, however, will be fitted with either a 295-hp 4.8-liter V8 or a 315-hp 5.3-liter V8.

Calling cards of the GMC trucka Sierra 1500 include strong performance, a refined and quiet ride (even with the heavy-duty towing package) and a comfortable, well-finished cabin.

Used GMC trucka Sierra 1500 Models
The 6.2-liter V8 option for non-Denali models had arrived the previous year along with its six-speed automatic transmission. Many GMC pickup trucks considered by used-vehicle shoppers will be the previous-generation truck, which was sold for the 1999-2006 model years.

The previous generation of GMC trucka Sierra 1500 pickups ran from 1988-'98.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle New

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle will be fully redesigned.

Introduction
Then there was the vehicle sequel, the 1998 New Beetle. Now for 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, there's finally a new Beetle to replace the New Beetle, though it will just be called the Beetle. With the 2012 Beetle, Volkswagen has taken a cautious approach in terms of design. The new Beetle coupe is 3.3 inches wider and 6 inches longer than the outgoing model. Inside, VW has drawn upon elements from the original Beetle, such as incorporating two gloveboxes.

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle will first be available in the limited-edition Black Turbo launch edition model, which features the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine matched to VW's dual-clutch automated manual transmission. Later in the model year the Beetle TDI will debut, boasting VW's clean and thrifty (estimated at 40 mpg for highway fuel mileage) 140-hp turbodiesel engine.
Our cover story on the Beetle is here.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle | Beetle through history
Conventional auto industry wisdom, like it or not, is that -- at least in America -- you can sell girls a boys' car, but you can't sell boys a girls' car. It's a bit like the belief also held in the industry that you can sell an old man a young man's car, but you can't sell a young man an old man's car.

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is bigger by a notable amount: 168.4 inches long, up 6 inches; 71.2 inhes wide, an increase of 3.3 inches.
The engine lineup:
Base: 2.5-liter, five-cylinder gasoline vs. 1.8-liter four in last model. Expected mpg ratings: 22 city, 31 highway (manual transmission) 22/29 (automatic).
Coming later as option: 2-liter turbo-diesel, 140 hp, 236 lbs.-ft. Mpg: 29/40/33.
Somewhat confusingly, VW also proposes the Mini Cooper as a possible Beetle rival -- and the Mini's isn't cheap.

Cadillac ATS,Reviews

GM also released a sketch of the compact rear-wheel drive sports car. It's smaller than Cadillac's popular CTS, also made at Lansing Grand River.

About 1,000 hourly and salaried employees work at the plant. The ATS is designed to compete with foreign automakers' compact luxury cars, including the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4.

Cadillac ATS also is launching a large front-wheel drive sedan called the XTS in spring 2012.

Along with that exciting announcement, the upmarket GM division also released this teaser image previewing the new ATS. Eventually, coupe and convertiblemodels could be launched to better align the ATS range with its intended rivals. A high-performance ATS-V model is a given, also.

In terms of styling, the prototype confirms Cadillac'S ATS designers are sticking with the brand’s ‘Art and Science’ design language, with plenty of influences from the CTS evident in this teaser.

Cadillac announced today that it will launch two new models next year starting with the XTS full-size sedan in the spring of 2012 and the Cadillac ATS compact sedan in the summer.

Along with that exciting announcement, the upmarket GM division also released this teaser image previewing the new Cadillac ATS. Eventually, coupe and convertible models could be launched to better align the ATS range with its intended rivals. A high-performance ATS-V model is a given.
