The new 2013 Infiniti JX is a 7-passenger luxury crossover comes standard with front-wheel-drive, while all-wheel-drive is available for those desiring extra traction.

Together with other aerodynamic optimizations, it also ensures significantly lower lift while retaining an equally good cod value. The new Porsche 911 2013 will remains the most compact sports car in its class with an overall length of just under 176.81 inch and a maximum width of approximately 71.18 inch.

The 2013 Porsche 911, which is currently includes the 997 and its successor, the 991, now comes in 18 variations in the USA while in Germany now it have 22 variations. Considered the quintessential of a Porsche, this rear-engine sports car is quite rightfully. For a purist, they put the 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 as their favorite 911.

This car is extremely lightweight, packs a high-revving naturally aspirated engine, and is created for the racetrack. Purists will love the manual transmission they had with its singing boxer engine, and its deliberate lack of heavy and only semi-helpful electronic gadgets. The new GT3 should solidly beat the car it replaces in true 911 evolution style; it’s expected to be significantly lighter than the last model with its longer wheelbase and engine output approaching 500 hp.

Preview Of The All New 2013 Porsche 911

The 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 Powertrain

The upcoming 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 will come standard with a manual transmission, with the technologically-advanced, yet less satisfying, PDK transmission set to be available as an optional extra. The new GT3 may be the very last Porsche to come with three pedals and if demand is high enough for the manual, Porsche will likely also offer it in the 911 GT3 RS which would likely make a debut 12 to 18 months after the GT3.

Don’t go with the boring design of the 2013 Porsche Carrera 911 or Carrera S if you are looking for a new Porsche, wait for the 911 GT3 to come out and order it in a manual as manual Porsches will eventually be a thing of the past.

The extra-large alloys in the GT3 version of 2013 Porsche 911 will house bigger brakes while power is expected to be increased to around 500HP, close enough to the 997 GT3 RS 4.0. Additionally, it will also be offered with only one gearbox.

That, in itself, is no surprise as that was the case with all GT3s. What will probably cause many debates is that Porsche engineers are seriously considering offering the seven-speed dual-clutch PDK and getting rid of the manual transmission.

The new Porsche 911 2013 is sensational, with all the performance and precision we’ve come to expect; its 7-speed manual is intuitive and crisp, its new electric steering assist surprisingly refined. Gone are the steering jitters, for good or bad. Rough roads are now smooth, at least as felt through the steering.

The Big Changes

LED lights both inside and out, as well as a new IntelliLink infotainment system are the big changes in the 2012 Buick Enclave, along with a revised 6-speed automatic. A smooth ride and hushed noise levels greatly enhance the passenger cabin’s luxurious atmosphere. While this large crossover is not unpleasant to drive, its size does limit it maneuverability somewhat.

Visibility is likewise a bit limited to the rear, making the available rearview camera a wise investment. Meanwhile, some rumors said that the naturally aspirated V6 engine, currently standard in the 2012 Enclave lineup, will be replaced with a turbocharged V6.

If the rumors is not happened, then expect all 2012 Enclave trims to once more pack the standard 3.6-liter V6 power plant and its accompanying 6-speed shift able automatic transmission and wait for it in the 2013 Buick Enclave lineup. Variable valve timing keeps the fuel economy at 17 mpg city/24 highway in FWD versions and 16/22 in AWD configurations.

Aston Martin DB9 is a luxury car with high conversion while it’s also known for having one of the best records in a separate sports car exhaust. It might not be the ultimate driver’s car, but what it lacks in maximum thrills it makes up for with loads of character and striking good looks.

It is a quintessential sporting grand tourer, a true thoroughbred and is that rarest of things, a performance car which fuses functionality with true beauty. For the 2013 model year, it is no longer offered with a manual transmission.

The 2012 Aston Martin DB9 offers two new special editions: a Luxury Special Edition, and a Sport Special Edition. The Luxury Special Edition adds items such as Morning Frost paint, 10-spoke alloy wheels and special metallic bronze leather. The Sport Special Edition adds Carbon Black or Quantum Silver paint, 10-spoke alloy wheels, special semi-aniline leather and sport exhaust.

The 2012 Aston Martin DB9 reviews says the car is an epitome of dynamic beauty; technological perfection is swathed in elegant bodywork with lines which are modern and fluid yet classic and above all, usually Aston Martin. However, the new DB9 loses something when you take off the roof; the looks aren’t quite as striking.

Of course, since this is a DB9, there are looks and coolness to spare. The problem with this is that everyone can see you in the convertible, and unless you are as attractive and cool as the car itself, people will notice. Every component and surface is carefully detailed using a combination of conventional craft skills and high technology manufacturing and ultra modern materials.

Driving Impression

Sitting inside the 2012 Aston Martin DB9, however, is fantastic. While boasting a more dynamic driving experience, both DB9 models are spacious and comfortable enough to drive from Miami to LS without making your ears ring or your luggage remain at home.

Having no longer under the ownership of Ford, the new 2012 Mazda 3 redesign finds itself lacking a presence in certain market segments, notably environmentally hybrids and electric vehicles. However, despite its star fading slightly in the face of unrelenting competition, the 2012 Mazda3 is still worthy of consideration for anyone shopping for economical vehicles.

Mazda has developed its own green technology and branded it the SkyActiv. In the 2012 Mazda3, the SkyActiv is used not only to describe a new high fuel efficiency gasoline engine, but also two new transmissions. The next 2013 Mazda 3 will get a SkyActiv chassis. The engine itself we were introduced to a few months back on the prototype form.

The 2012 Mazda3 SkyActiv engine is the result of numerous fuel efficiency upgrades ranging from dual variable valve timing, to direct-injection, while using components that are lighter and with reduced drag. The 4-2-1-exhaust manifold which is designed to allow the engine to run at an even higher 13:1 compression ratio is absence on the production version as it turns out that the Sky was never intended for the current Mazda3 but was rushed into the product cycle.

The 2012 Mazda3 redesign has updated the Three in an effort to catch up and among the changes is the fantastic new SkyActiv powertrain. The 2012 Mazda 3 SkyActiv engine serves as the Mazda3′s ticket to the 40 MPG club. The new 2012 Mazda3 is even better to drive than ever because of the improvements to the suspension.

In the exterior changes, you’d almost have to put the old Mazda3 and the new one face to face to spot the differences. Aside from the drivetrain work, for its core model Mazda also incorporates minor changes to the suspension and body structure. The front fascia has been redesigned to downplay big grin of the grille, and the sedan now gets the same back bumper as the hatchbacks. The car now is slightly more rigid and the front end no longer has that fish-mouth look.

The Special Edition of 2012 Mazda3

After the 2012 Mazda3 release date, Mazda will introduce a limited run Special Edition version for the 2013 Mazda 3, that adds a unique flair of customization straight from the dealer. The Special Edition is based on a Mazda SEMA concept vehicle which adds to the already youthful and sporty styling of the 2012 Mazda3.

The Special Edition will add carbon fiber treatment accents to both interior and exterior. The exterior colour is offset by a carbon fiber treatment roof and mirrors, and distinctive glossy black 16-inch alloy wheels add a fierce look to the Mazda3. The car will be available in sedan form only while the production will be limited to just 700 units.

It’s also showcases a dramatic new look that will appeal to customers seeking style, functionality and space; it will inject an exciting new spirit into the personal use segment. The concept car will be appreciated by a broad range of business and leisure customers.

The 2012 Ford Tourneo Custom Concept is not a preview of the E-Series replacement we’re expecting in the USA. The concept, however, rides on an all-new global platform that also will underpin Ford’s cargo vans. Those models, which continue to bear the Transit name, will be launched later in 2012.

The European Ford Transit family is currently comes in two flavors: a one-tonne version that is based on front-drive architecture and a two-tonne version that’s driven from the rear axle. However, the Ford Transit will remain a separate model or in other words, Ford is serious about launching another front-wheel-drive van for various world markets, in this case the Turneo.

The 2012 Ford Tourneo Custom Concept adopts the Kinetic Design language; notably, the front fascia and grille look remarkably like those of the new Focus, Fusion, and Escape. With its advanced, streamlined appearance, the design is generating a strong sense of movement, even when the vehicle is standing still.

The Tourneo Custom Concept highlights that customers in the personal use market can expect the same high levels of technology which are enjoyed by Ford car drivers. Like the exterior, the 2012 Ford Tourneo Custom Concept interior follows the same Kinetic Design approach as the latest passenger cars, such as in the taut wing-like section of the upper instrument panel.

The sculpted instrument panel is orientated around the driver and features many technologies closely-related to Ford’s car range while the occupants will be treated with a fully-trimmed cabin and the rear seats can easily be folded into multiple configurations. The luxurious and spacious feel of the interior is further enhanced by an exclusive two-tone colour scheme, featuring hand-stitched leather seats with attractive cloth inserts.

The Engines 2012 Ford Tourneo Custom Concept

The 2012 Ford Tourneo Custom Concept range will be powered by enhanced versions of the new 2.2-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, which was initially introduced in 2011; with Auto-Stop-Start technology fitted as standard, Ford is targeting best-in-class fuel economy. Three power ratings will be available: 100 PS, 125 PS and 155 PS (99, 123 and 153 hp). All versions are paired with a six-speed manual transmission and feature front-wheel drive.

A diesel engine option is possible and a 4×4 option is all but certain, but neither of these details has been confirmed for the US version. The new vehicle also should be significantly more fuel-efficient than the thirsty E-Series; it is also equipped with Ford low-CO2 ECOnetic Technologies, including Auto-Start-Stop and Smart Regenerative Charging.

In the UK, buyers may choose between two variants of the German automaker’s 2.0-liter TDI four-cylinder engine. The car will boasts the Volkswagen 4Motion all-wheel drive system as well as a taller ride height for overcoming rough terrain and deep snow. The model will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show on November 30 and goes on sale in Europe in early 2012, and we are sorry for American since this car will not enter the US market.

When compared with the first Volkswagen Passat, the 2013 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is defined by a new bumper style SUV. This makes the 2013 Volkswagen Passat SUV Alltrack as an excellent alternative to asphalt and mud paths (off-road paths) which means it can be used for roads as well as off-road towing vehicle. Volkswagen has thrown in a set of flared fender arches as well as revised front and rear bumpers.

A protective strip with a sophisticated look – the perfectly fitting Volkswagen Original load sill guard made of plastic with a high-end stainless-steel look not only protects the bumper from scratches when loading and unloading the boot; it also makes it look even better! Adhesive makes mounting of the guard a simple and quick task.

The 2013 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack gets a 140-hp, 2.0-liter TDI diesel four, six-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic, and all-wheel drive. Two turbocharged direct injection gasoline engines (TSI) with 118 kW / 160 PS and 155 kW / 210 PS and two turbo diesels (TDI) – also with direct injection – with 103 kW / 140 PS and 125 kW / 170 PS Volkswagen Passat is available in Alltrack.

For Volkswagen Passat TDI 140 PS Alltrack with, Volkswagen will offer all-wheel-drive as an option.

Unique Features

The 2013 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack kicks 90 percent of the engine’s power to the front axles under normal operation, though 100 percent of the grunt can be shifted to the rear tires if need be. To counter these speed, Volkswagen designed City Emergency Braking as a functional extension of the automatic ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) plus Front Assist system.

The new system operates over a speed range of up to 30 km/h, and it automatically initiates hard braking if an imminent collision is detected. City Emergency Braking can reduce the severity of collisions in city driving or even avoid a collision entirely.

The GTI Cabriolet itself is getting a sporty makeover similar to that of the Volkswagen Golf GTI hatchback includes a red-edged honeycomb grille, a rear diffuser, chrome tailpipes and 17-inch Monza alloys. The first GTI Cabriolets will be delivered just in time for summer while the final pricing is started at $47,500 for the manual-transmission model to $49,650.

The 2012 Volkswagen GTI Cabriolet exhibits typical visual trademarks of the Volkswagen Golf GTI; it’s heavily borrows styling cues from last year’s Europe-only GTI 35 Edition. The bumpers, the headlights with a row of LEDs, the vertically positioned fog lights, as well as a new rear diffuser featuring chrome tailpipes all come from the aforementioned special edition.

The standard wheels are 17-inch “Denver” style alloys with five prominent openings, fitted with 225/45 tires while the optional “Detroit” style 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/40 tires is showing the same styling, but with a machine-polished surface and contrasting black inner surfaces.

You should know what to expect when it comes about the 2012 Volkswagen GTI Cabriolet interior if you had the pleasure of driving a standard Volkswagen Golf. The 2012 Volkswagen GTI Cabriolet interior features include stainless steel pedals, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and handbrake, along with chrome and aluminium detailing while the GTI gear shift lever has been finished in aluminum.

The leather-trimmed steering wheel features a GTI emblem and naturally the steering wheel, gear shift cover and leather trim of the parking brake lever have decorative red seams. As tradition would have it, the seats are upholstered in Jacara tartan cloth, and red stitching on the steering wheel and the shift boot create a sporty atmosphere.

The Roof and Under the Hood

Compared to the tin-top, the 2012 Volkswagen GTI Cabriolet performance has been blunted slightly thanks to extra weight, but given that the standard Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet proved to be a competent steer, it bodes well for the GTI, which has a more sporting chassis.

The convertible top can be folds up or down at the push of a button in just 9.5 seconds. By removing the roof, Volkswagen has made the GTI Cabriolet a unique proposition in the hot-hatch market; none of its rivals come in open top form meaning the Volkswagen Golf GTI is more comparable to premium convertibles.

Aside from the electrically folding fabric roof, it’s all very much familiar Volkswagen Golf GTI; it is powered by the same engine of the Volkswagen Golf GTI hatchback which is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 210 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. But, although the two cars use the same engine, the GTI Cabriolet takes 7.3 seconds to hit 62 mph.

The new Cube will continue as a boxy compact wagon with oddball styling and a surprisingly roomy interior and adequate overall performance; it’s still affordable since it will start around the $15,000 although if it’s fully loaded it will be priced over $25,000. With its asymmetrical styling, side-opening back door, and water-droplet-inspired interior, the Nissan Cube certainly pegs the geek-chic meter.

The 2012 Nissan Cube is part of a new generation of boxy small cars that can also be viewed as small crossover SUVs. The Cube sports a square, whimsical body design that houses a large, practical cabin; it’s remain virtually unchanged, save perhaps some added features to option packages or trim levels and the addition or one or more new colors to the exterior palette. Small and light, the Cube is easy to maneuver, fun to drive while the divisive styling conceals a tall hatchback that is remarkably practical and comfortable.

In addition to this, it is supported by a great design and aerodynamic shape that sits well with car geeks. It does have some negative points such as the fact that the body gets scratched quite easily compared to other makes and models but overall, the review 2012 Nissan Cube states that it offers great value for money and while seating 4 adults, it is very convenient and highly rewarding for the energy consumption figures it has.

The 2012 Nissan Cube specs is available in 4 trims with the numeric designation referring to the size of the vehicle’s engine in liters: 1.8, 1.8 S, 1.8 SL, and 1.8 Krom Edition. The 1.8 trims, which has the same engine that powers the Nissan Versa in this market, is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4, 122-horsepower engine that achieves 25-mpg in the city and 30-mpg on the highway while a 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard or buyers can choose the Nissan-built Xtronic continuously variable transmission.

The 1.8 SL is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4, 122-horsepower engine that achieves 27-mpg in the city and 31-mpg on the highway; a variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The Krom is coming with specific front and rear styling cues and interior appointments.

The Fuel Economy

The 2012 Nissan Cube fuel economy numbers are unimpressive compared to the latest compact cars rating in the mid-30-mpg range in city driving and 40 mpg in highway driving. You can blame the Cube’s decidedly un-aerodynamic shape and its relatively bulky weight compared to other four- and five-passenger subcompact and compact cars.

The Scion xB which is larger than the Cube features modestly aggressive styling and a more-powerful four-cylinder engine than the Nissan. Meanwhile the Honda Fit is as roomy inside and far more cargo-friendly than the Cube. In the boxy small-car circle, 2012 Kia Soul Both is the price and sales’ leader; it is a stylish alternative with just enough funky touches to make it stand out from the crowd.
