admin | Uncategorized | May 10, 2012

Cadillac introduced a concept car last year that is their most recent vision of a top shelf flagship. Called the Ciel, it recalls Caddys of old while still looking pretty contemporary. The concept is rumored to be a very good indication of a production model from Cadillac in the next few years. The concept is a very dramatic, very big convertible car for four people. Naturally, many have been wondering what a sedan version could look like.

Top Gear USA Gets Some Competition July 13

admin | Uncategorized | June 22, 2011

Tanner Foust and the rest of the crew at Top Gear USA are set to get some competition on July 13. The SPEED channel is debuting Adam Carolla’s very aptly named, The Car Show. It’s an hour long show and besides Carolla, features Dan Neil, John Salley and Matt Farah as hosts.

The format can’t help but be similar to the Top Gear franchise as it promises to cover “Everything Automotive” with lots of personality mixed in. It’d be nice to see a genuinely different take on the now classic Top Gear formula, but still keep the beautifully shot, high-powered segments of my favorite supercars.

Look for the show July 13 at 10pm as it spearheads SPEED’s efforts to win back the gearhead audience it lost a few years back when it switched to all-NASCAR, all the time. The Car Show is actually one of several shows SPEED will be introducing shortly. In August, look for other potential hits like Dumbest Stuff On Wheels, and My Ride Rules.

Maserati SUV To Be More Jeep Than Ferrari

admin | Uncategorized | June 22, 2011

Maserati will finally be getting the SUV they’ve been thinking about for a few years. Thanks to Sergio Marchionne’s successful play in snatching up Chrysler, thus giving Fiat the keys to the Kingdom, engineers are hard at work to make the all-new Grand Cherokee into a proper Maserati. Announced some months ago, it was implied that while the platform would be mainly Jeep, the engine would be from Ferrari… as is the case with other Maserati models.

The latest rumors indicate that the Cayenne-killer from Maserati will now sport a HEMI. The 6.4-liter unit from the Grand Cherokee SRT-8. A very fine motor indeed, but an italian exotic like Maserati powered by something that Bo and Luke Duke could work on blind-folded is…. the reality we have to live with in order for brands to survive and prosper in the current economic climate. It’s a cost-cutting move to ensure Maserati success in an all new market segment.

As far as styling goes, pictured above is what Maserati was thinking about back in 2003. Don’t expect it to look exactly like that as the new model will be based on the Grand Cherokee, and Maserati’s styling language has moved on somewhat from that look. But do expect a medium-sized SUV in the mold of a Porsche Cayenne, a BMW X5, and a…. Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Another Evoque Spin-Off Under Consideration

admin | Uncategorized | June 22, 2011

A common play in manufacturing automobiles is to to build as many differentiated models as possible off of one common set of components or platform. Done correctly, it can be very profitable. Porsche does it with their 300 versions of the 911, MINI is doing it with their growing family of Coopers, and other makers have been doing it since the start of the industry over a hundred years ago.

Land Rover is now following that rule in expanding its Range Rover brand with yet another model. It’s recently introduced Evoque model line is meant to be a smaller, more city oriented sort of SUV available in coupe and 5-door versions. LR is now reportedly reviewing the case for a larger, 7-passenger version of that platform. Engines would carry over from the Evoque, so look for a family of fuel-saving 4-cylinder engines putting out as much as 237hp.

Other than a larger body and roomier cabin, there aren’t very many details on the styling and whether it would try to keep the Evoque’s rakish roof line. Hopefully, a fifth addition to the Range Rover nameplate will do lots for the bottom line and little to water down the marque.
