2011 Smart.

First Drive: 2011 Smart ForTwo Electric Drive makes a lot of sense for a few people. As a population, the way we approach transportation hasn't changed significantly since the aircraft first fluttered onto the scene way back in 1903. In over 100 years, we've simply been refining the recipe we know the best instead of coming up with a new brew all together. Doing so has inextricably tied our civilization to the internal combustion engine, complete with all of its pitfalls. While we've more or less known that roping ourselves to oil is neither sustainable nor responsible since the early '70s, it wasn't until gas prices went haywire that the American population realized just how dependent it was on the black stuff.
Conveniently, with those astronomical figures at the pump came the plucky little Smart ForTwo, a car that symbolized what could be accomplished if a driver were willing to sacrifice everything for a low-cost, high-efficiency vehicle. With fuel prices hovering above $4.00 per gallon, sales exploded for a short time, and news outlets around the country heralded Smart as the face of the future for U.S. transportation. But it wasn't long before gas prices crawled back down, and Smart sales went catatonic just as quickly as they took off.
Now the company has jumped into the race to be one of the first to bring a completely viable electric vehicle to market with the 2011 Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. It's a move that just might alter the transportation landscape for good – not just in the U.S,, but around the globe.
A Smart HID kit means you don't have to stress. From now on, the road in front of you appears as if there is a bold, bright spotlight on it to guide you through your travels. And of course, the look is more than worth it! Smart Xenon lights at CARiD.com give your ride the kind of advantage you deserve. Smart Xenon lights shine with up to five times more power than regular halogen bulbs and last even longer. You can even sport a custom, colorful glow with choices like Yellow Blaze, White Diamond, Factory Skyline, and Infinite Blue. This is the nighttime upgrade that always gets noticed!
Each Smart HID kit at CARiD.com can be counted on for premier quality. We look to expert manufacturers such as Notto® SE to make sure of it. Plus, you don't have to worry about some drawn out installation. Your Smart HID kit comes complete with 2 digital ballasts, 2 bulbs, a relay harness, and easy-to-follow instructions. Replace your OEM bulbs with technology and style that delivers. Your Smart car deserves the very best!

Dodge Charger SRT8 is Back.

The Dodge Charger SRT8 is back.
Scheduled to go on sale later this year, the 2012 Charger SRT8 adopts the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 that first debuted in the Challenger SRT8 392, here making an estimated 465 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers are 5 down from the Challenger in each category, but, uh, who cares? The previous Charger SRT8 had “just” 425 hp and 420 lb-ft from its 6.1-liter V-8.
The new Hemi’s intake features active air flaps that vary the ram length based on engine speed, and new variable cam timing increases the duration of the intake-valve opening with the goal of stuffing more air in the cylinder. Fuel economy, for what it’s worth, will be improved over that of the outgoing engine, although no figures have been revealed yet.
We clocked the old SRT8 from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, and that’s about where Chrysler pegs this new car’s abilities (in addition to a stated top speed of 175 mph). But we think it will be a little quicker than that: We estimate the car will cover a 0-to-60-mph sprint in 4.6 seconds, reach 100 mph in 11.0 seconds, and blast through the quarter-mile in 13 flat. Not bad for a four-door sedan that should weigh somewhere around 4350 pounds.

The rest of the SRT8 story may not be as mouth-watering as the engine, but it’s still pretty juicy. The five-speed automatic carries over from the last car, but this time it’s equipped with steering-wheel-mounted paddles to augment the side-to-side manumatic function of the gear selector.
The chassis has received plenty of attention, too, with a new pump for the hydraulic steering that Dodge says increases feel, as well as a standard two-mode adaptive suspension. The suspension interprets data such as steering angle and speed, vehicle speed, throttle position, and lateral acceleration to automatically vary shock stiffness. Besides the automatic setting, the driver can also select a Sport mode. Deceleration is handled by four-piston Brembo calipers, squeezing 14.2-inch front and 13.8-inch rear rotors. The brakes also incorporate a collision-anticipation function that tucks the pads snug against the rotors in anticipation of hot car-on-car (or car-on-object) action. A new underbody shield integrates brake ducting to mitigate brake fade.
Owning the night is easier than ever thanks to CARiD.Com’s selection of top-quality Dodge Projector Headlights! Dodge models have a tendency to get noticed. They are built for toughness, performance, and style. Everybody recognizes one when they see it. But no driver wants to be anonymous just because it’s nightfall.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK.

Officially Official: 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK. The thing about innovation is that to follow up, you tend to need another dose of innovation to keep people interested. Case in point: Mercedes-Benz having shoes to fill with its little SLK. The original was one of the first cars on the market with a modern retractable hardtop, taking after its costlier forebearer, the SL. And fourteen years later, with nearly everyone fitting folding tin roofs to their convertibles, the Stuttgart has launched the third-generation model with Magic Sky Control.
The innovative roof, as we've reported in the build-up to its release, adjusts the tinting of the glass panels automatically. It's an option, and buyers can still get a solid metal folding roof or a fixed-tint glass one if the electronic trickery is too much. Naturally, though, that's not all that's new about the new SLK.
The latest compact roadster from Stuttgart sits on a new platform with new styling. Whereas the outgoing model aped the SLR with its Formula One-style nose, the new SLK takes its cues from the SLS AMG with its more upright grille. The new shape is also more aerodynamic, and Mercedes has incorporated a new transparent panel between the rear roll hoops that tilts to optimize airflow and keep turbulence in the cabin to a minimum.
The SLK will launch in the North American market in SLK350 guise, packing a 3.5-liter V6 good for 302 horsepower and a 5.4-second sprint to 60 mph. The 1.8-liter, four-cylinder, 201hp SLK250 will follow, as is expected the naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V8 SLK55 AMG. The new SLK gets its official launch later this month at the head office in Stuttgart in celebration of the company's 125th anniversary, with its public debut slated for the Geneva Motor Show in March. Follow the jump for a video and full press release, but be sure to check out the high-resolution photos in the gallery below.

Dodge Charger Mopar Edition.

Dodge has revealed a special edition of Charger, just before the car’s official debut at the New York Auto Show. Dodge Charger Mopar Edition will be limited to just 1000 units and the price starts at $39 750.
Dodge Charger Mopar Edition is powered by a 5.7 liter HEMI V8 with 375PS (276 kW) and 535Nm (395 lb-ft). The engine is mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox and the acceleration is pretty good – 0 to 60 mph in around 5 seconds.
Charger Mopar Edition has black exterior finish with an aggressive blue stripes over the hood and roof. The unique appearance is completed by a set of enormous 20” alloy wheels in dimensions 8J x 20” fitted with 245/45 ZR20 Goodyear F1 Supercar tires.
The interior boasts Katzkin leather seats, metallic trim and a strange shifter. There are also alloy pedals, Mopar floor mats and an individually-numbered plaque.
The suspension is also revised. It features bigger stabilizer bars (30 mm at the front and 20mm at the rear) and strut tower braces.
Last, but not least, Mopar installed a high performance braking system with enormous calipers and discs behind the 20” wheels.
Customers who purchase a Mopar ‘11 Charger will receive a personalized owner kit in a customized Mopar ‘11 box. The kit will include a certificate with the vehicle identification number (VIN), exact date of manufacture and the number of the vehicle. The kit will also include a brochure that highlights the unique features of the vehicle, exclusive Mopar ‘11 merchandise.
“The Mopar ‘11 Charger takes the ‘head- turning’ factor up a few notches,” commented Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group’s service, parts and customer-care brand.
“By adding some of the most distinctive accessories to an already strong performer, we’ve created a special-edition car for enthusiasts.”, he added.
