Would dark chrome diecast aluminum grid grille inserts look more tasteful than the bright chrome grille slats of the current Lincoln models? Or is it too blah? Click on the above photo to enlarge it. It looks too dark at the smaller size, lol.

Chevrolet’s Colorado is headed to Australia thanks to Holden

The Australians don’t agree entirely with the average U.S. car buyer but they do have some considerably important common opinions.

One of which, at least that’s what GM is hoping for, is the increased market interest for the Chevrolet Colorado pickup.

Holden Colorado pickup

As a result of this belief, GM is going to rebadge the Chevrolet Colorado as a Holden and unveil it once again in “the Land Down Under”.

A 2011 Australian International Motor Show presence of this GM product would most likely spark a similar amount of interest to what’s been going on in the States or even in South America when the Rally Concept version came out.

That interest would, in turn, help GM with their decision about which markets they are going to bring this handsome brute to the people, which, at the end of the day is what a general audience seems to want.

Holden Colorado pickup

Holden Chairman and Managing Director Mike Devereux says that the Holden Colorado pickup is going to be their big star at the Melbourne show this year and that’s great from a sales point of view.

Australia’s light commercial/pickup 4×4 segment is up by 11% this year so cashing in with a new model round at this time is pretty much the best thing to do.

Round at this time is a bit of an understatement as the first production spec Holden Colorado units will hit the Australian pickup market no earlier than 2012.

Holden Colorado pickup

At this very moment Holden is a bit preoccupied with their Commondore’s new engine. If you’re not very aware of Holden’s range you should know that the Commondore is their most important cash cow so it gets priority over pretty much everything.

No worries pickup fans, this is because the new engine Holden is readying for the Commondore will also find a home in the new Colorado as well.

The engine in question is a new V6 and it is in good stead with the eco-minded motorists because the most important part of its description is flex fuel capable.

Holden Colorado pickup

Capable of running on pump gas and E85 the popular 3.6 litre SIDI V6 engine will be introduced to the Colorado and Commondore as the Ecoline variant. The flex-fuel components are crucial for future developments of the Aussie version of the Chevrolet Colorado.

This is because they pave the way to LPG conversions and that is a very cheap in Australia thanks to the immense availability of this fuel from local production.

Porsche 911 GT1 successor coming in 2014

With the R18 TDI winning the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race, the Germans at Audi clocked up 10 total victories at the famed French event.

A state of general pride and joy went spiraling through most of the VW family. The only possible exception being the step sister company Porsche.

Porsche 911 GT1

Porsche hold several motorsport records, among which they are the most successful team at Le Mans, having taken in 16 wins.

Audi’s success seems like a way for them to loose this distinction, one of the most sought after in racing. This is why Porsche came up with a totally captivating announcement about their return to serious endurance racing.

The relaunch of the Porsche endurance team is scheduled for 2014. That means that in just three years the performance levels will be crying out of Porsche in order to produce a successor to the 911 GT1.

Porsche 911 GT1

Porsche’s 911 GT1 was the last in a long line of serious assaults on the “heavy weight” title at Le Mans. A lot has changed since then so Porsche’s 911 GT1 successor will have to face some serious difficulties in order to grab that win.

The bullet proof build quality of modern Porsches will have to shine through, that’s an obvious criteria but now there’s a considerable worry about fuel economy properties. That’s why the Porsche 911 GT1′s successor could employ a similar sort of hybrid technology as the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid.

As a quick reminder, the high performance hypercar that was the Porsche Carrera GT was actually supposed to be the 911 GT1′s replacement sadly it never got the chance to race as the GT1 class was put an end to.

Porsche 911 GT1

This is why Porsche acted quick to prep the Carrera GT for road legal necessities and sell it as a “normal” production car.

It’s more than a decade since the Porsche 911 GT1 huffed and puffed up the Circuit de la Sartre but Porsche’s presence has been consistently winning in the lower tier classes thanks to heated up versions of the 911.

What is very interesting about this announcement of Porsche returning to Le Mans is that Audi doesn’t plan to back down at all. The Ingolstadters revealed that the decision was taken independently by Porsche and therefore doesn’t harm corporate interests, also, Audi welcomes the competition.

This sort of news, teamed with the video above makes a Porsche’s return to Le Mans probably the best motorsport news we heard all year.
