2013 Audi R8 Preview

Following an early reveal late last night, Audi has now released the full images and details for its updated R8 supercar, which sails into showrooms early next year.
The big news is the availability of a new seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission across the R8 range, with Audi finally deciding to do away with the clunky R tronic automated manual that plagued the previous model. A conventional six-speed manual is still available on some models, however.
The other major update is the addition of a new range-topping R8 V10 plus model.
At the front of all the new R8s we can see a revised headlight design, with the daytime running lights slicing through the center, and a slightly different overall shape. The grille remains very close to the current model, as do the side air dams and splitter, though these too are new. As an option, Audi installs a front splitter made of carbon fiber (standard on the R8 V10 plus).
All R8 models also benefit from LED headlights as standard. The individual diodes for the high and low beams have been placed above and below the strip-shaped daytime running lights, which are specially actuated to serve as indicators. In addition, static turning lights are integrated in the headlights.
At the rear, more LED detailing can be found, including around the engine bay. The indicators for the tail lights also light up in pattern towards the outside of the unit, in the direction the driver wishes to turn. Finally, all models have the same twin exhaust pipe design with a glossy finish, though the pipes on the R8 V10 plus are painted black.
The engine lineup is still much the same, with the base 4.2-liter V-8 unit delivering 430 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Matched to the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, this engine will rocket the R8 to 60 mph from rest in around 4.3 seconds and see it reach a top speed of 186 mph.
The painful truth is that factory floor mats do not offer “real” protection. Are they better than nothing? Maybe. But if you’re a serious driver who truly cares about your car, than “better than nothing” is just not good enough. At CARiD, custom Audi R8 Floor Mats always deliver.

Toyota Avalon Grille

Toyota’s CEO Akio Toyoda has already promised more fun-to-drive cars, and now a company executive promises design is becoming a greater priority, as well.
The bold statement is similar to one of Steve Jobs’ most notable quotes: “A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” Hunter says future car design will be more confident and optimistic, rather than cute or surprised. He notes that Toyota has recently unveiled bold designs including the new 2013 Toyota Avalon and the NS4 concept car, which debuted in Detroit.
“We’re moving to more unexpected designs; that’s our big message,” Hunter said to WardsAuto. “In the past, let’s face it, we had boring design.”
We should expect bolder designs from Lexus, too, as more models continue to adopt the spindle-styled grille currently used for the refreshed RX crossover and new GS sedan. Lexus showed off the stunning LF-LC hybrid concept at this year’s Detroit auto show, yet another hint of the brand’s future design language.
This smooth ride presents a stunning picture of grace when fixed up in the front and CARiD.com brings you the Toyota Avalon Grills that deliver the message. If you think that poor imitation quality is good enough for this vehicle, think again. It isn’t how we do things here and plus, you deserve better!

2014 Chevrolet Impala

Chevrolet completes the transformation of its North American passenger car lineup with the introduction of the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The redesigned flagship sedan builds on the strong heritage of the Impala nameplate by offering expressive style, a more-refined interior, easy-to-use technology, and what is expected to be an exhilarating driving experience.

"The 2014 Impala re-establishes this iconic Chevrolet nameplate as a design leader, with bold styling that will turn heads for years to come," said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America. "The team has also delivered the comfort, safety, fuel efficiency and technology that will strengthen Impala's leadership in the highly competitive full-size sedan market."

The all-new Chevy Impala goes on sale in early 2013 as the 10th generation of one of the industry's most enduring - and popular - nameplates. Impala was America's best-selling full-size sedan in 2011, with sales of more than 171,000, which also made it one of the 10 best-selling cars overall in the United States, along with Chevrolet Malibu and Cruze.

"This all-new Impala delivers on our promise that every new car that wears the Chevrolet bowtie will embody the pioneering spirit that has defined the brand for more than a century." said Chris Perry, vice president, global Chevrolet marketing.

Chevy Volt Spoiler

It appears the right-wing wall against the Chevrolet Volt is starting to crumble. Following months of beating on the Volt, Fox News aired a puff piece on how great the Volt is earlier this week. Now we hear that former president George H.W. Bush has purchased a Volt for his son Neil as a birthday present. As our friend Chelsea Sexton said on Twitter, "Can't wait to see what Fox News makes of that!"
In a sense, the Bush family should be among the first to buy one of GM's plug-in hybrids, since the $7,500 federal tax credit that the car qualifies for was put into place during President George W. Bush's second term. Since President Obama has also promised to buy a Volt when he gets out of office, that makes the Volt a vehicle that presidents from both major American parties can agree on.

2013 Mazda CX-5

The brand-new generation and one of the most efficient Mazda ever is the all-new
2013 Mazda CX-5, which will hit the growing European compact crossover SUV market in the spring this year.   What is ore important here is that the new CX-5 model will feature the ground braking SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY. The latter is Mazda’s innovative new line-up of engines, transmissions, chassis and bodies. It is especially developed for cars which are affordable, fun yet economical to drive, and environmentally friendly. The figures are more than impressive: at 4.6 l/100 km and 119 g/km, the CX-5 with SKYACTIV-D diesel engine has combined cycle fuel economy and CO2 emissions. This makes it one of the best in its segment not only in Europe, but also all around the world.
The key design behind the innovative SKYACTIV technology is the internal combustion. And namely this technology is going to be the predominant engine technology for the next decade, with industry coverage of at least 80%. Mazda made a great step into improving the basics of internal combustion power, coming up with a range of unique innovations. The idea is to progressively supplement this enhanced basis – SKYACTIV petrol and diesel engines – with advanced technology. From the i-stop idle-stop system and regenerative braking to hybrid systems and more, their efficiency will continually enhance. This strategy stands under the name “Sustainable Zoom-Zoom”, and it goes beyond optimizing internal combustion. What is more here is that the Sustainable Zoom-Zoom is also about lightweight designs. Here Mazda’s goal is to make each new model generation 100 kg lighter than its predecessor. The ultimate goal for 2015 is to improve the average fuel efficiency of its global model line-up by 30% relative to 2008 levels.

Dodge Avenger Spoilers

 Retrofitted last year with a new V-6 powertrain, a retuned suspension and a new interior, the
Dodge Avenger comes back for the 2012 model year still intent on rehabbing its rental-car image. It's undoubtedly better than it was before, but the Avenger still struggles as it competes with some family-sedan powerhouses including the Ford Fusion and Kia Optima.
Carried over almost unchanged in 2011, the Avenger still looks right. It's a mini-Charger, and it has a lock on brand unity that few small cars carry over from their successful big siblings. Dodge's big crosshair grille takes up residence on the nose, but it's the upkick to the rear quarters that connects the Avenger more to the Charger sedan. Inside, the cabin was polished up somewhat in the 2011 model year, but not to the same level as the Chrysler 200. The dash cap's a little more sculpted, the climate controls are streamlined, and some nice details of bright and matte plastic contrast with the softer-touch pieces. The lower half of the dash was mostly left untouched, and it wears lower-grade plastic than the 200, and some of the same carryover gauges and buttons are more noticeable here.
Dodge Avenger 2008-2012, Factory Style Rear Spoiler. Spoilers are usually standard equipment on the factory hot rods. But even if you don't have the big horsepower engine under the hood, you can still give your car the same look as the high-performance models with this Rear Spoiler. Inexpensive and easy to install, for a little time and money you can improve your car's appearance and aerodynamics.

Suzuki Shows Concept

Suzuki shows Concept XA trucklet in Delhi. Want to know how highly regarded the multiple-award winning
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is? At the recent Auto Expo in Delhi, India Maruti Suzuki showed a concept that is, to our eyes, extraordinarily reminiscent of the small English SUV – although we'll readily admit the glasshouse is a tweaked version of the current Suzuki Swift.
 Called the XA Alpha concept, some reports say that it's underpinned by the Swift platform, while others report that the Maruti Suzuki Gypsy off-roader, based on the Jimny, provides the chassis. For comparison purposes, the XA is just a few inches shorter and narrower than an Evoque, but the same height as the Evoque four-door.
 Plans for production are said to rest with audience reception, which appears to have – understandably – been quite positive. If and when a production version does arrive, you can probably kiss the suicide doors goodbye, but it is predicted to be offered with four-wheel drive and "a range of K-Series petrol engines and 1.3-liter DDIS engine."
