The estimated fuel economy of the 2.0-liter unit which fits the new Regal GS on the highway is 8,4 liters/100 km. Besides the manual transmission, General Motors claims that a new six-speed automatic transmission will enter the range later next year. The 2.0-liter engine comes with a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty for the entire powertrain.

"The Regal GS 2.0L turbo delivers the highest specific output of any production engine GM has ever offered, and at 135 hp per liter is the most power dense engine ever certified by SAE," said Mike Anderson, Ecotec global chief engineer and program manager.

The new Buick Regal GS will offer a high performance four-wheel-independent suspension with High Performance Strut (HiPerStrut) front suspension design. The innovative suspension is able to minimize the unwanted toe and camber effects in certain conditions which will help the vehicle to get better stability and grip. The Computer Damping Control technology is available as well, a system that fits both the front and rear dampers and provides real time adjustments for the suspension providing the optimum ride comfort.

In order to ensure the needed safety, the American model features a high performance braking system including four-piston Brembo front calipers. A four-channel anti-lock brake system comes to improve the braking system while the StabiliTrak electronic system is standard.

"The 2012 Regal GS is well balanced with dynamic ride and handling, powerful brakes, great acceleration and excellent fuel economy," said Robert Casparian, Regal product marketing manager. "And the fact that one can get such great performance in a gorgeous sport sedan makes it even more attractive."

Mazda debuts CX-9 front-wheel drive version in Australia

The South Koreans from Mazda officially announced that they are ready to introduce a new version of the seven-seater CX-9 in Australia. We talk about a model that benefits from a front-wheel drive system, a good alternative for the all-wheel drive model, as least in theory.

Mazda CX-9

The new front-wheel drive Mazda CX-9 SUV will be available with two trim packages, Classic and Luxury, but we will discuss them after we analyze the engine range available in Australia. Under the bonnet, the same powerplant is retained, we talk about a 3.7-liter unit able to deliver 274 horsepower and 367 Nm of torque.

The front-wheel drive CX-9 manages to get an improved fuel consumption by 0,2 liters/100km. This means that the South Korean SUV provides a fuel consumption of 11 liters/100 km. In standard, all the Mazda CX-9 models, either the trim level, come with safety systems such as Roll Stability Control (RSC), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). Parking sensors alongside a reversing camera are standard features of the new CX-9 too making the parking maneuvers easier.

Mazda CX-9

The first trim level designed for the front-wheel drive version of the Mazda CX-9 in Australia is called Classic and brings power windows and side mirrors, three-zone climate control, cruise control, automatic headlamps, leather trim for the steering wheel and gearshift knob but also a new set of 18-inch alloy wheels.

Mazda CX-9

The Mazda CX-9 with the Classic trim level comes at a price of AU$44,425 (US$46,731) while all the versions of the South Korean SUV benefiting from a front-wheel drive system seem to be slightly cheaper than the all-wheel drive variants. If you want more from the SUV, then you can opt for the Luxury package which is priced at AU$51,725 (US$54,518) which brings significantly increased comfort.

Mazda CX-9

To be more precise, you will benefit from power adjustable leather seats, a ten-speaker Bose premium audio system, heated power side mirrors, a tilt glass sunroof but also a new set of 20-inch alloy wheels.

VW Polo Sport Coupe—Giugiaro Scirocco Reborn?

VW's little Polo series isn't sold in the USA, but might be one day. I've taken the GTI 4-seat hatchback and recreated it in the mold of the original Scirocco of 1975, designed by the maestro, Giorgetto Giugiaro. For my Polo Sport Coupe, I've reduced seating to just two, and given the rear a large luggage area. With a hybrid or plug-in drivetrain, this little VW could compete with Honda's CRZ. The rocker panel retro striping/lettering would be optional, but oh so cool, lol! I started this chop last year, but decided to finally finish it last night.

2010 HONDA Brio Concept

Honda held the world premiere of a prototype of Honda BRIO, the new small-sized vehicle developed for Asian markets and scheduled to be introduced in Thailand and India in 2011, at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo starting November 30, 2010.

Honda BRIO Prototype is being developed with Honda's advanced technologies, while further advancing Honda's "man maximum, machine minimum" concept. Being developed as a commuter which is easy-to-use even in urban areas, the Honda BRIO prototype adopts an easy-to-handle compact body (length 3,610mm x width 1,680mm x height 1,475 mm) while ensuring enough cabin space achieved by highly efficient packaging. With this vehicle, Honda thoroughly pursued the creation of an advanced exterior form, which is compact while asserting a strong presence.

For the mass-production model, which will be an entry-level car, for which demand is increasing in newly emerging nations, Honda will develop unique versions for Thailand and India to reflect different customer needs in those markets. Moreover, with this vehicle, Honda will leverage the resources Honda has cultivated through its motorcycle business and utilize local sourcing of parts and materials such as sheet steel.

For the Thai model that is scheduled to be introduced in March 2011, the fuel economy of more than 5 liters/100km will be targeted so that the vehicle will qualify as an eco-car by the Thai government, and a starting price of approximately 400,000 baht will be targeted as well. For the Indian model that is scheduled to be introduced within 2011, local customer needs for a small car will be reflected and local content will be increased to create a model that achieves a good balance between vehicle performance and price.

"Honda would like to expand the joy of mobility to more customers in Thailand, India and other Asian countries through the introduction of a new small vehicle with compact and highly efficient packaging by utilizing our own experiences cultivated by motorcycle business here in Asia," said Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor.
