Ford today announced that it will be showing a trio of new cars at the New York Auto Show next week. Ford will show the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR, the 2008 Ford F-150 Foose Edition and the 2008 Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Edition which is set to launch in the fall of 2007.
The Nissan Skyline in Japan, the Nissan version of the Infiniti G35 sedan, has been beating sales predictions and surprising the executives. When launched in November of 2006, the Nissan Skyline was targeted to sell 1,000 vehicles per month. However, since its launch the Skyline has sold more than 11,000 units.
In 2004, 195 new and old MINIs set the Guinness World Record for the longest MINI convey in the world. But on the evening of March 28, 2007, 269 MINIs broke that record in Blackpool, UK, to be part of the historic two-mile route and help raise cash for Comic Relief.Â

This is what the BMW 1-Series will look like. How can we be so sure? Well, because it’s a rendering by AutoBild. AutoBild renderings in the past have been proven to be very close to production models for many cars including their rendition of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (which was made two years before the official launch). After seeing this, we’re not as disappointed about the hatchback not coming to the U.S.
We just got our official press cards to the 2007 New York Auto Show, and that means you just got yours. Make sure you join us on April 4, 5, and 6th for the latest and hottest unveilings and debuts as they happen. So stay tuned for our exclusive live coverage. We promise you won’t be disappointed.Â

The 2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z will be making its North American debut a the New York Auto Show next week. The Nissan NISMO 350Z is fifth model in the lineup and features NISMO’s aerodynamics package with an aggressive front fascia with chin spoiler, side skirts, a larger rear fascia with functional air diffuser and rear wing. It is powered by a 3.5 liter VQ35HR V6 engine that produces 306 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque.
We could take Ford’s new commercial the wrong way and say “Ford still has a lot of proving to do, and they admit it,” but that would be mean. Infact we are pretty impressed by the new “Proof” commercial that shows Ford’s current best selling models including the Mustang, Ford F-150, EDGE, Fusion, Taurus and the Escape Hybrid. By the way the Edge is quicker off the market than the BMW X5.
The Maserati GranTurismo is one our favorite new cars unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Now you can experience and learn about the new Maserati GranTurismo in ever way possible at the newly launched site over at http://www.granturismoisback.com/Â (you’ll have to register). The Maserati GranTurismo will have a 4.2 liter V8 engine, delivering 405 horsepower giving it the ability to do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. You will also be able to configure your own GranTurismo starting in June.

According to the banks involved, Porsche is trying to take out $46.67 billion to finance its bid to take over Volkswagen, the largest German auto maker. Just three days ago, Porsche announced that it is raising its stake above 30 percent. Porsche has previously denied any interest in taking over Volkswagen but made sure that it played a bigger role in its decision making.
