Today, Holden’s official in-house tuner HSV revealed changes to its 2008 E-Series Commodore lineup, including the introduction of the GXP’s LS3 V8 engine across the board. Unlike U.S. versions, the Aussie-spec LS3 delivers a peak output of 425hp 317kW, up from the GXP’s 402hp... Full article...

Laymon is in charge of keeping a list of internal candidates ready in the event Mulally retires or quits, is fired or for some other reason exits his position, which could come as soon as 2011 when he turns 65.

To wit: faux wood paneling. It looks good on the old Woody, but it's an absolute atrocity on everything else see: Griswold, PT Cruiser. However, spies have caught the new Ford Flex donning some woodgrain shelf paper paneling, and as much as FoMoCo is trying to redefine the people-mover/minivan segment with the Flex, this would seem to be a seriously counterintuitive move. We're hoping it's a joke, and for our money, it is.[source] Full article...

With that in mind, we bring you a lengthy Camaro video, this time of a black car being trailed by an "official" camera car. The great thing about this video is that it comes with its own theme music, and the great thing about that is that you know you're going to hear this song coming out of a lot of Camaros when they hit the streets next year. Maybe they'll even offer... Full article... Article added: 2008-03-25 07:31:07 Article Views Rating: 150 Main > Car Makers News > Ford > Rendered Speculation: Ford Capri reborn? Well look at that, the quarter panel vent from the new Focus can look good! No need to complain yet that this is but another Ford we'll never see, as it may not happen on any continent. Auto Bild has gone to press with shots of a new Mercury Capri concept that is rumored to be the work of an extremely skilled PhotoChopper. We're also unsure if the details they cite about the car being a sub-3,000 pound 2+2 with 140-250 horsepower and a production date of 2012 are fanciful or rooted in truth, but none of...

That film featured the Aston Martin DBS as Bond's personal whip, though he was caught driving what was then Ford's brand new Mondeo family sedan from the airport to the hotel, as well. It appears another one of Ford's more pedestrian offerings will make a cameo in the next Bond film titled Quantum of Solace that's scheduled to debut on November 7, 2008.
