Mitsubishi Strada Triton

The Mitsubishi Triton is a compact pickup truck produced by Mitsubishi Motors. It was originally known as the Mitsubishi Forte in Japan from 1978 to 1986, when the name was discontinued in favour of the Strada. For most export markets the name L200 is used, while Storm was used for Malaysia during the early 2000s. It was previously known as the Rodeo in South Africa until 2007. Cumulative sales of the first three generations now exceed 2.8 million units around the world.

International Shipping Used BMW

Motorwerks, a luxury car dealer in Illinois which had ever discussed in otocontest a couple of weeks ago, seems too interesting for not being discussed more and more. I really surprised when I visit it this morning. Why? Because they list so many used BMW and preowned BMW, my dreamy car.

Honda DN-01, High Performance Automatic Cruiser

The Honda DN-01 combines the user friendliness of a scooter with the image of a performance cruiser and totally original, futuristic looks. Its unique selling point is the Human Friendly Transmission, a CVT programmed to work like a six-speed manual or a full automatic.

It uses a V-twin engine developed from the Deauville’s 65bhp, 680cc unit. But instead of conventional gears, the DN-01’s engine is connected to a hydraulic pump, which sends hydraulic fluid to a turbine driving the rear wheel via a shaft.

Wait until the end of January! because Nissan plan to release it’s new X-Trail variant with new technology and, off course, with new price.

Yamaha Super Tenere

Yamaha Super Tenere just already launched and it seems to be the most considered by adventurer rider. It was a somehow fully formed motorcycle that was not really on show including in the recent 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. Well the mystique has been maintained, because no images have been released yet, but we now know a lot more about the bike’s fine details – the 1200cc parallel twin will have a 270 degree crank (for a v-twin feel), and will use Yamaha’s YCC-T ride-by-wire throttle, have switchable engine-mapping, traction control, and three-position anti-lock braking.

2011 Ford Flex Titanium

A couple of months back, MT's Detroit editor, Todd Lassa, said in an item introducing the Ford Flex Titanium that you could option it into the 50K range -- right smack in the Lincoln MKT's wheelhouse.

The MKT, in case you aren't up on MK nomenclature (and really, who is), is Lincoln's version of the Flex, and it's supposedly more luxurious and otherwise gloriously differentiated from its Ford sibling. But tack on the Flex Titanium package with the EcoBoost engine option, and suddenly, there's not so much differentiation going on here short of the sheetmetal.

2011 Stasis Engineering Audi R8 5.2 Challenge Extreme Edition

It's hard to improve on greatness, so when Stasis Engineering offered us a short drive of its modified Audi R8 Spyder, we were excited and skittish. The last time we debarked from a stock R8 5.2 FSI, we concluded that Audi had improved upon near-perfection. Could Stasis improve the R8 even further, or would its upgrades actually set the car back? We intend to find out.

So now I'm sitting in Stasis' impeccable show car with Henry Hsu, the company's director of engineering. When traffic clears, Hsu unhesitatingly double-slaps the R Tronic's left paddle until a bright "2" appears on the dash. Revs erupt as the twin oval pipes' bark turns into a menacing roar. Eaton's biggest automotive supercharger whines and churns at a maximum 7.5 PSI. Everything blurs. My eyes water. WHOA.

2011 Hyundai Elantra

Hyundai is worried. The company has seen an alarming increase in the use of asterisks by the auto industry and has embarked on a mission to stamp out the problem, starting with its new 2011 Hyundai Elantra.

Asterisk abuse often occurs in automotive advertising when fuel economy figures regularly come with fine print caveats. There will be none of that with the new Elantra. Hyundai is assuring that every 2011 Elantra gets the same impressive fuel economy -- 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway -- no asterisks necessary.

Audi quattro Concept

"Please, slow down," Peter says calmly as we cut through the curvaceous Pacific Coast Highway. The central screen on the high-definition LCD instrument cluster of the Audi quattro Concept shows 48 kmh, or just over 29 mph.


Is he serious?!


"Okay, sounds good," I reply.


A quick downshift into second gear and a dab of the touchy 15-inch carbon ceramics turns our slow pace into a near crawl. The wrist slap lasts only seconds, though. A short uphill straight resides ahead, and my urge to go faster can't be ignored.

Ford Mondeo and C-Max Quick Drives

Given that it's taken some time for Ford's kinetic styling direction to reach the United States, the natural exterior styling comparison (for now) is with the Fiesta hatchback. And with the C-Max, Ford's most miniature minivan, it's like looking at a taller, wider Fiesta, but with a bit more interior room.

The C-Max will be the first Ford vehicle to offer the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four, which takes the oh-so-familiar path of incorporating a turbocharger, direct injection, and twin independent variable camshaft timing. The model we drove packed 177 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, though those output figures are homologated for European standards, according to Ford staff. The 1.6-liter mill is also offered with 148 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque overseas, showing just how easy it is for Ford to tweak performance on these engines.

2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster

The Z Roadster is being driven mostly around town and through twisting canyons instead of on really long trips-as it should be for a car like this. There are gripes about a lack of refinement under the hood and in the cabin, but most agree the 370's personality and performance more than make up for its shortcomings.

But a debate is raging about whether the SynchroRev match system, offered with the manual transmission, is awesome or annoying. Some comments from the staff: "SynchroRev match is great. There's no reason to drive this car with that disabled. I could never rev-match as perfectly as the computer no matter how hard I try, so why bother?" writes associate Web editor Kirill Ougarov. Adds assistant Web producer Carlos Lago, "I love SynchroRev match. It could very well be the best part of this car. Some say it isn't needed, but I guarantee their drive home is jerkier with it off. The system is quicker and more precise than any foot."

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe

The first-generation E30-series BMW M3 wasn't the fastest M3 ever built. It certainly wasn't the most luxurious or the most refined. But it was the smallest, purest and, in the opinion of many, the most dynamic M3 from a driver's perspective. And it's the E30 M3 that BMW attempts to channel with the new 1 Series M Coupe.

Consider the 1 Series M Coupe's dimensions. Measuring 172.4 inches from nose to tail, the car is just 1.3-inches longer than a 1988 M3. Of course, the M Coupe is wider by 4.8 inches, has a longer wheelbase by 3 inches, and is heavier by several hundred pounds (3296 compared to the 1988 M3's 2800-pound curb weight). Still, compared to the current 3700-pound M3 coupe, the 1 Series M is a lightweight.

2011 Ford Explorer

Everything Alan Mulally has learned, experienced, and changed at Ford Motor Company is encompassed in the 2011 Ford Explorer. A bestseller at 400,000-plus per year in the '90s, the Explorer met its automotive Waterloo during the Firestone tread-separation debacle. Sales of the body-on-frame Explorer dwindled to 52,190 in 2009, as Ford was launching its new Taurus. Ford redesigned the sedan far beyond its original intentions, though retaining the Volvo-derived D4 platform. Now, thanks to Mulally's push for quicker updates of Ford models, it's the Explorer's turn.

2010 Acura ZDX

The ZDX's design has been getting mixed reviews from the staff. It's not exactly setting the automotive world on fire, either. Even in a trendy area like Los Angeles, there aren't a lot of ZDXs populating the streets. Writes one staffer, "You don't see too many of these on the road. It was a big shock when we spotted the ZDX's twin parked right next to our long-termer at lunch one day. (It was even the same color!) I do think this vehicle is unattractive, but once you're inside, that's not much of an issue."

2011 Chrysler 200 Limited

Chrysler Sebring is dead; long live the Chrysler 200. At least that's what Pentastar folks would like you to think.

Why? Because they know you previously have only considered a Sebring when standing at a rental car counter in a Sun Belt state. And while it may be an acceptable "upgrade" for the weekend, you have never seriously considered one for your own garage.

And as much as Chrysler wants you to consider its mid-size offering alongside the likes of Camry, Accord, Altima, and Fusion, it knew that couldn't happen when the badge said Sebring.

So Chrysler ditched the name and changed as much as possible of what remained. On the inside, things look much improved. Set in the new soft-touch dash is an analog clock that wouldn't be out of place under a French cuff and worsted wool. Piano black and metallic accents trim the center stack and controls, while dash and door coverings push back with warmth and fine grain. Dig a little deeper, however, and some warts begin to emerge. From a features perspective, the 200 Limited doesn't offer as much as its competitors. Though the infotainment system is much improved by the addition of Garmin navigation software, the Limited doesn't offer class staples like dual zone climate control and a rear view backup camera.

New Honda CBR 250

Honda have released the first official pics and specs for the 2011 CBR250R. With the demise of two-strokes and the disappearance of great little machines like the Aprilia RS250, Suzuki RGV250, Yamaha TZR250, Kawasaki KR-1 and Honda NSR250, the 250cc class was more or less finished. Only Kawasaki and Hyosung soldiered on, with the Ninja 250R and GTR250 respectively. But now, with the 2011 CBR250R, Honda look all set to bring some new vim and vigour to the 250cc sportsbike segment.
