Suzuki Kizashi 3

Suzuki is planning to gave big head aches to models like Toyota Camry and Honda Accord starting early next year when they will unveil a new mid-size sedan based on the Kizashi 3 concept. Set to be a 2010 model, the future sedan will be priced between $21000 and up to $28,000 for the top-of-the-line model.
The design will be inspired by the aggressive sleek looks of the Kizashi 3 concept, and most of the elements from the concept will also be kept for the production version.
For the entry-level version of the production Kizashi 3, power is expected to come from a 2.5 liter inline 4-cylinder engine while the range-topper will carry a 3.5 liter DOHC 24-valve V6 that will produce 260-hp. The latter is said to be derived from GM’s V6 found in the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Malibu.
The future model will be produced at Suzuki’s new factory that is currently under construction in Sagara, Japan.
Honda Accord 2009
A sharper rendition of the current model, the all-new Accord Euro adopts a more muscular stance as it is significantly wider and slightly lower than the outgoing model.
The Accord Euro range will be one of the first to offer a complete engine line-up which complies with Euro 5 emissions set to take effect in September 2009.
The new i-DTEC diesel engine employs the latest piezoelectric multi-stage fuel injection technology, more efficient exhaust gas recirculation and a particulate filter for significantly reduced emissions.
New Audi A5

Like all Audis it has an understated and classic design. It isn't a car for the petrolheads - it doesn't have to brag or show off. This isn't a car for Britney Spears.
The Audi A5/S5, and the people who drive it, already knows that they are beautiful - they already got success. They like who they are and don't have to tell everyone about it. If George Clooney was a car - I would imagine he would be this one.
But I am not going to talk about the car; I am instead going to give you a visual "Design Special" of the A5/S5 with concept art, videos with the Head of Design, the photo shooting and making the commercials - both in front and behind the scenes.
2009 BMW 7 series

When the 2009 BMW 7 series was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last fall, BMW's fifth-generation flagship had an anvil-sized burden to bear. Although the last 7 series was a milestone in the sales department, its design – which foisted Chris Bangle's influence onto an unsuspecting public – was all but universally panned when it was introduced in 2001. And if the exterior wasn't offensive enough (to some), BMW's newly-implemented iDrive system sent many reviewers and owners into unmitigated bouts of rage. For 2009, BMW has sought to address the fourth generation's foibles while capitalizing on its strengths. And while nothing is more subjective than styling, control interfaces have a huge impact on the overall experience. Find out if BMW has succeeded on both fronts after the break.
2010 BMW M6
One of the world’s most powerful and fastest convertible cars is made by G-Power. Now G-Power created a package for the BMW M6 owners that do not want to drive around with 507 bhp BMW M6.
The 335-km/h G-POWER M6 HURRICANE is now based on the latest BMW M6. This high-performance convertible is run on a five-liter V10 engine with G-POWER BI-Kompressor system that can delivers 635 hp / 467 kW. With this power it can now capable of sprinting from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.6 seconds and 7.3 seconds later doing 125 mph (200 km/h) speeds and the cape of 188 mph (300 km/h) is passed in 34.5 seconds. The limit has been pacified a little to let the reach its full expression of 320 km/hr.
Possible Design Of 2010 BMW Z9
Here is the first look of BMW’s upcoming Audi R8 competitor. We’re not sure exactly what BMW is going to this car so we’re going with Automotive News on this one. Before the CS Concept made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, Automotive News reported that BMW will be unveiling a high-end sports car, called the BMW Z9, that would compete with the Audi R8.
While BMW never unveiled the ‘Z9′ at Shanghai, BMW did say that the CS Concept was supposed to show where BMW design is headed. As you can see from these latest renderings, the BMW Z9 will take major influence from the front end of the CS Concept with a large grille, aggresively designed headlights and huge air intakes. The large intakes along with the two hood vents and side vents, indicate the use of a powerful engine, enough to rival the Audi R8.
When the BMW Z9 makes its debut, it is expected to be powered by a modified version of the V10 engine found in the M5 and M6 and will develop 550 horsepower. BMW hopes to keep the weight below 1,400 kg with the use of carbon fiber, aluminum and magnesium.
The car is expected to be priced way below the $130,000 price tag of the Z8, which we expect will be in the ballpark of Audi R8’s $109,000 to $118,000.
2009 Lincoln MKS

In most people’s estimations, Lincoln has definitely been a neglected brand for Ford. Say “Lincoln” and the Town Car will probably be the first thing that leaps to someones mind. Especially when you consider the advances and press that GM’s Cadillac receives, those that have been waiting for similar news from Lincoln have been mostly disappointed. Well buck up Lincoln fans, the four-pointed star is back with a nice offering of luxury and style wrapped up in the form of the MKS.
BMW X6

We hear: GSD&M has picked up the Ace Hardware account, and will be announcing the win tomorrow. A call to the agency was not returned but the time this story was published.
The win would not be huge for GSD&M, but a victory just the same. In December of last year, the shop was in the running for the Home Depot account, which it did not win. That business went to Dallas based Richards Group.
The agency is also waiting to hear if BMW has selected them for media responsibilities. We hear it's between GSD&M and McCann. However, news broke today that Canadian firm Media Experts won the national account (in Canada). It was my impression that GSD&M and McCann were vying for the global media account, but that may have been incorrect.
New Audi A8

New indiscretions arrive on the new generation of A8 Audios. The great flagship of Ingolstadt, like anticipated, will make wide aluminum use for the auto body and the auto body: all respect to a construction entire manufactured in steel is translate in a reduced weight of 150 kg. The range A8 will oscillate therefore between a weight of 1650 and 2000 kg approximately according to the version.
Audi assert that a8 new will introduce new stilistici concepts for the house of four rings, sfoggiando a more determined and sharpenned design. Instead they will be enormously improved already elevated street dowries; merit of the conceived chassis giving greater importance to the distribution of the weights (will have also a longer step and a track) and to the last version of integral traction “four” equipped of the Audios sport differential.
