The LF-A's retractable rear wing can be seen lowering in this sequence of shots. This prototype is obviously still wearing some preproduction lighting, and some details are clearly lacking production-finished trim, but the styling looks basically unchanged form last year's prototype. It appears that Lexus may have finally locked-in the bulk of the LF-A's final design. [source] Full article...

The latest rumor about the next generation of the BMW 7 Series is that the car will feature four wheel steering as optional extra! Yes it is true! But the next question comes now: For what? The vehicle isn’t a super-yacht which cannot be handled and as you know it has parking sensors together with cameras and this doesn’t make any sense. As you know, Bmw is planning to launch in 2008 a new generation of its 7-Series. The new model will be direct competitor to the Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8 and Lexus... Full article...

Then MB released a 7 speed auto making the 6 speed look obsolete and BMW driver’s green with envy. This past year Lexus toted they had the worlds first 8 speed auto. This was an interesting development as BMW did not even have a 7 speed. The 8 speed Lexus offering is only available in the land yacht sized LS because it too like the LS is a bit too large for other models in the brand’s line... Full article...

Mercedes has been doing seven ratios for a little while, and Lexus has a new 8-cogger on offer, too. BMW's not content to be trailing with just 6 speeds, so the new 7-series F01 will reportedly ship with an 8-speed automatic transmission. If high fuel prices and tightening emissions and consumption requirements manage to snuff out our recent horsepower battles, gear ratios are all we'll have left.BMW's 8-speed fits in...

At high speeds the Mercedes V8 is quieter than the screaming Lexus V6. The E-Class has outstanding comfort ratings and performs well in driving dynamics and has top ratings in having the car drive straight without the driver touching the steering wheel like the Lexus. The seats don't offer enough side support though. The fuel consumption of 13.3 liters per 100 km is acceptable given the sporty driving style the car... Full article...

Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil and an early poster child of the business monopoly, “is a sin.”He’d certainly be horrified by the competition going on these days among the makers of sports sedans. To many, these are the jewels of the high-performance market, and yet they seat at least four and don’t require fortunes associated with Google stock.Although the genre is deliciously broad, we’ll concentrate here on two cars: the cat’s meow of sports...

It was Ed Loh who first noticed: "Funny," he said. "Once the production GT-R arrived, the Lexus LF-A prototypes disappeared from the Nurburgring." He has a point. Corvette engineers have been at the Nordschliefe in the 620-horse ZR1 running what appear to be comfortable 7min 40sec laps in other words, better times than former Formula 1 ace Jan Magnussen in full commando attack mode managed in the Z06.
