Design Study: Volvo SC90 Concept
January 16, 2009
What bristol said. This could be from any manufacturer. I think it could be fixed, though, by simply adding some Volvo-style shoulders along the length of the car and some taillights similar to the S60 Concept. Small changes that go a long way toward family-resemblance.
GM Cancels All Future Full-Size SUVs
October 28, 2008
Word on the street is that the Suburban and Escalade ESV (no mention one way or the other of other models) will move to Lambda in 2014. So perhaps these babies will be saved, and probably not lose much in size, as big as those Lambdas are.

Audi Officially Announce New 3.0 TFSI Supercharged Engine
June 27, 2008
I could be wrong, but I'm guessing this engine will replace the current 3.1. As Nitrous points out, it's closer in line with the BMW 3.0 turbo, as well as the V6s from everyone else.
BMW M3 Sedan Facelift Spied Again
June 16, 2008
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only thing that's changed is the taillights, which is why it's the only thing that's covered. This is exactly the same as the last E46 M3 that got new taillights in line with the rest of the 3-Series line. Calm down my friends! It's only some new taillights.
Leaked Document Reveals Yet More Details on New Audi A7

Like an Audi?
2009 Audi S4 Details Surface
June 5, 2008
Ok, 200ms for Ferrari was a bit of an exaggeration. But the current F430 does about 150ms, if I remember correctly. I'm not talking about some super-limited production $7-figure racecars.
The Audi TT does 8ms shifts. Why the heck would the S4 kick that back to 200ms? Quicker shifts are "more luxurious" anyway. It's an imperceptable, no power-loss shift.
So to answer your question, what I'm talking about is the Enzo coming out in 2003 with very fast shifts, but the A3 came out in 2005 with even super duper faster shifts. Booyah!

Personally, I wouldn't trade a manual for a DSG any day of the week. My dad has an '08 TT with DSG, and while it shifts quicker than anything on the road (again, 8ms), there's nothing like having your own real-life clutch pedal.
Oh, and you'll get used to hills. After a while, they're no problem. You just have to be quicker moving from brake to gas. Practice in an empty lot or something like that.
New BMW 7 Series to be Revealed on 7th July
June 4, 2008
I know GranTurismo. An M7 would be nice, but in the scheme of things, does it really make sense for BMW M? People say that AMG has stretched itself thin (and it has; R63 anyone?), and I'd hate to see the same done to M. Like Kafkef says below, a hi-po 7 is very nice. An M7? The name can be left off.
New BMW 7 Series to be Revealed on 7th July
June 4, 2008
I put $5 that says NO M7! BMW has said repeatedly that M cars must have manual transmissions (or at least SMG/DKG/whatever automated transmission) and high-revving, high-specific output engines. Who wants to drive a high-revving 7-Series? I think not.
2009 Audi S4 Details Surface

200ms? Wow, that's fast! In 2003... The Audi S-Tronic can shift as quickly as 8ms! 200ms? Please, that's Ferrari territory. And what's so "brand-new" about S-Tronic? It was originally unveiled in the US in the A3 for Audi about 3 years ago. Oh, and the S5? Yeah, it's got the automatic Tiptronic, not the DSG S-Tronic.
I love you guys, but sometimes I really wonder how much you guys know your cars, or even do any research.
Oh, and that's an A4 S-Line. The S4 will look different, as all S models look compared to the S-Lines (take a look at the A6/S6, TT/TT-S, etc.).
