GreatMustangs — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:50:37 +0000

After our drive this morning with the CTS-V Coupe, we’re stuck in supercharged V-8 mode, and what better to fill the emptiness in our driveway than a video detailing the CTS-V Sport Wagon. This walkaround goes into detail on the main attractions of the wagon, and the V-series in general. As Cadillac’s contender for the mega-wagon title, the CTS-V…

As the fuel economy wars take over from the horsepower wars, more and more carmakers are working to deliver the goods while staying green.

GreatMustangs — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:50:34 +0000

Racers looking to run a hotter-than-stock 2011 Mustang are about to get another option: the 2011 Shelby GT350 SCCA package. It dumps the supercharger to fit within the rules, but keeps the full brake, suspension and aerodynamics package to make for a fairly mean racing machine. Engine output is pegged at the stocker’s 412-horsepower rating, as…

Surprise, Surprise: 2010 Lexus HS 250h Not Selling So Well

GreatMustangs — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:50:32 +0000

We’ve been curious as to what exactly Lexus was thinking ever since we first saw the 2010 Lexus HS 250h, and drive reports, like those from our own John Voelcker at GreenCarReports, reveal the confusion to be more than skin-deep. Not quite luxury and not quite as efficient as a hybrid ought to be, the car fails to live up to the Lexus brand or the…

GreatMustangs — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:50:31 +0000

We’ve been reporting for years now on the possibility of a revived RX-7, and it looks like Mazda may be moving one step closer to that goal with reports today that the RX-8 is due to cease U.S. sales after 2011. There will be a gap in the rotary world of at least two years, however, as the RX-7 (or whatever it will be called) isn’t expected until…

Report: Buick Will Build New Compact Crossover In Michigan

GreatMustangs — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:50:27 +0000

In August of last year Buick released a teaser of a compact crossover that was essentially a rebadged version of the Saturn Vue. The only major difference between the two was a Buick-style waterfall grille, and that rubbed consumers, dealers and many in the media the wrong way and subsequently plans for the vehicle were canceled.
