BMW is proving once again it hang with the best of super car manufacturers by releasing an all new BMW M1 Super Car.

As for the engine, CAR says anything in the BMW lineup will fit but the most likely candidate is a 3.0-liter straight six with three turbos and about 450 horsepower. Auto Express will come with either the six or the 4.0-liter V8 from the M3. That would give it about 400 horsepower. Whatever it gets, look for a 0-to-60 time of around 4 seconds and a top speed just north of 200.

Seems a little mild for a mid engine super car, but whom am I to judge?  Good thing this car isn't even being built yet and you could actually not see a working BMW M1 until as late as 2013.  Super rich, please start holding your breath now and put me in your Will.  Below is just a shell, all we have to wet our whistle until BMW makes an official announcement.

The latest branch in the Lexus tree is the performance model Lexus IS F.  This freaking amazing machine is tameable to keep as a grocery getter or wild enough to lay down impressive numbers on the race track.  That's what happens when you take the base Lexus IS and drop a 5 liter v8 into the bay.

The IS F is capable of churning out over 400 hp and drip sex as it passes you on the freeway.  To make things smooth for this subcompact super car Lexus outfitted the IS F with a 8 speed automatic with a manual-shift mode.  That means 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and an estimated top speed of 170mph, which I'd happily verify if they ever let me get my greasy hands on one.

Hippy tree huggers should feel good too when they buy this performance Lexus, because it gets an amazing 23 mpg on the highway.  Not that stinky non bath taking hippies could afford the $57,000 base price tag anyways.

Here are the first pictures of the all new 2010 Ford Mustang, of course under wraps. So would this be the Mustang 10, or Mustang 2010? But still, exciting nevertheless, since my blood is blue and my farts sound like a 4.6 on flowmasters.

Man I can't wait until the unveil the 2010 Mustang with it's updated interior and what appears to be a new steering wheel. It's expected the 2010 Ford Mustang will be unveiled at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. Stay tuned!

Thank you Edmunds for the early shots yet again.

I can't help but notice the influx of large SUV's and big trucks in used car lots and peoples front yards.  I mean, gas is bad yeah, but there always be a need to pull something or haul a ton of dirt, so now is the time to buy.  GM and Chevrolet feels the same way and are showing it by offering some bigger incentives to match the girth of the vehicle.

Previously GM was offering up to $4,000 in cash incentives to new SUV and big truck buyers, but sales just keep falling.  Now GM has announced up to $6,000 in incentives for vehicles like the Chevrolet Silverado.  Seems like a good deal to me, but I already have a 9 mpg SUV with a 5.9l V8...taking up residence in my front yard.

The newly redesigned 2009 Jaguar XK has recently been spotted in this spy pic in England.  There are some different styling cues to be aware of, which include changes with the XK8 and XKR.  Sorry engine buffs, only cosmetic changes to this latest redesign from Jaguar.

Don't fret, these changes would make even Austin Power's pants tight.

Volkswagen is introducing a new compact SUV into the market and labeling it the VW Tiguan.  This first for VW will have a base price of just $27,575, which will bear the award winning turbo charged 4cyl.  This wild 4 banger will produce up to 200 hp and over 200 ft lb of torque, more than enough for this compact suv.

I love the looks and the hunch back roof line gives it sporty appeal.  If targeting the Rav4 market I think Toyota may have some steep competition when this bad boy is finally released, especially for the price.

As far as the US concerned the green light has been given to Porsche to increase it's stake in Volkswagen.  The U.S. antitrust authorities ok'd the deal today.  This change will effectively give Porsche over 50% of Volkswagen share, making it majority holder.

Summer is here and apparently it's time for mergers.  Keep your eyes peeled for some important changes coming to Volkswagen, maybe they will get more expensive...or maybe Porsche will drop in price. lol

It looks like the Saturn Ion will be going the way of the Dodo Bird, with the introduction of the new 2008 Saturn Astra.  It's a European styled compact with bear bones pricing and practically no standard features, starting at $16,495.  Mind you, this base line model doesn't include an automatic or even air conditioning, which I thought was standard equipment since the model T.

The 4-Cylinder engine is a little wanting, since once it's loaded down with passengers and luggage the 125lb of torque just doesn't do interstate on ramps.  But, those searching for a relief to $4 gallon fuel prices will probably be more than willing to sacrifice that get up and go for 32mpg on the highway.

This trying to remain green in their next new car purchase may run into some shortages as far as Saturn is concerned.  Their latest Green SUV line the Saturn Vue has issued a recall in regards to their hybrid's battery leaking.

The recall on the 08 Saturn Vue will only effect about 300 vehicles, but they will be robbing current production Vue's hybrid battery to replace the damaged ones.  Another blow to Saturn's 'Green' initiative, since sales are down from this same time last year of 2,500 units.
