Cars Mater Saves Christmas Santa Car

Last year’s holiday season brought Cars fans a new Cars Christmas story called Mater Saves Christmas. With that came new diecast based on the Cars from the story, both in single carded and the Target exclusive boxset with Mater.

So what will we get this year, if anything? I’m not sure, but if you were watching eBay, you may have seen this gem on there recently…

Bernard Berrian Fits Just Right In His Audi R8

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian fits just right in his Audi R8. Even though it might be a little tough getting in and out of an R8 when you stand just over 6 ft tall, Bernard can probably get used to it because this is one sick ass ride! What do you think of Berrian's R8?

Oh, and just how big is that watch on his wrist???

Scott Disick is at it again. Scott and Kourtney spent the day in Beverly Hills driving around in a Ferrari Scuderia Spider recently. If it was anyone else behind the wheel we'd be impressed. And by that we mean ANYONE else.

2013 Cadillac ATS: First Official Photo of GM's BMW 3-Series Rival

We've been following the news for a very long time but General Motors is finally ready to give us our first taste of Cadillac's new entry in thepremium sport sedan segment codenamed ATSwith the release of an official –albeit shadowed- photo.
The new entry-level Cadillac which may or may not keep the ATS moniker when it arrives in the market next year, will go up against Germany's finest including the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class as well as the Lexus IS range.
GM said production of the small Cadillac will begin next summer at Lansing Grand River, the same Michigan assembly plant that manufactures the midsize Cadillac CTS sedan, coupe and wagon models. The Detroit automaker added that the plant received a $190 million investment and 600 jobs for the new ATS.
“The car we codenamed ATS is being developed to be a driver's car on an all-new Cadillac-specific RWD-AWD architecture,” Reuss said. “We have extensively and exhaustively studied the competitive segment, and we have benchmarked the best. And when this car comes out, that will be readily apparent.

Lauren Conrad Runs Around In A Porsche Cayenne

We've certainly seen Lauren Conrad in her fair share of cars over the years and even though The Hills is no longer on t.v. her clothing line is obviously treating her well. Lauren was recently spotted in this new Porsche Cayenne. We're guessing she'll probably be able to pick up new rides anytime she wants for a long long time so it's a good thing she has excellent taste in cars!

Imperium to Craft One-Off Bentley Continental GT Special

Given the price of a Bentley Continental GT, it should not come to a surprise that some tuners prefer to offer their clients a more personal service when it comes to customizing their cars.
UK-based design house Imperium is one such example developing a one-off Continental GT at the request of an unnamed entrepreneur from Britain. Previewed here in a pair of renderings, we see that the tailored made coupe will feature bespoke bodywork with uniquely designed front and rear aprons, carbon exposed side skirts, a subtle boot lip spoiler and rear carbon fibre diffuser.
Other enhancements include the black forged alloy wheels while Imperium will also upgrade the Continental GT's performance credentials with an ECU upgrade, optimized braking system, lowered sport suspension and a custom exhaust system.
As for the interior, Imperium says the British GT will be treated with a fully customized interior sporting select leathers along with tailor made carbon and wood trims.

Rumors: Audi Preparing Q6 Crossover to Battle BMW's X6 in 2016

As already reported, the success of Audi's Q-series has convinced company officials to expand the firm's presence in the SUV/Crossover segment. In 2010, sales of the Q7 increased by 37.1% compared to 2009 rising to 47,700 units while the Q5 recorded a 32.4% growth to 155,000 deliveries.

Add to that another 100,000 annual sales that Audi expects from the recently launched Q3 and it’s pretty clear why Ingolstadt's bosses want to double the luxury brand’s range of crossover models.
Sources from within Audi have hinted at the development of three new production models. The first one to be launched in 2014 or 2015, will be the sporty Q4 based on the revised version of the Q5 that will rival the likes of the Range Rover Evoque. In addition, a Q2 model build on a smaller platform is also under consideration.
However, as CAR magazine reveals, it is the Q6 that could be the most interesting of Audi’s new crop of SUVs. The British publication says the Q6 will also be loosely based on the Q5, and while Audi could launch it as soon as 2013, the report claims the Germans will most likely wait for the unveiling of the second generation Q5 to use an extended version of its updated platform architecture.
What prompted Audi to develop the Q6 is the same thing that made Mercedes-Benz plan a new, sporty SUV for 2015: the success of BMW’s X6, which last year alone sold 44,000 units. Car says Audi intends to outperform its rivals by offering a more spacious and practical interior. And although platform sharing with other SUVs in VW Group’s empire sets certain restraints, Audi’s designers have opted for an aggressive stance with a low roofline and raked windshield and rear window.
The Q6 is said to be offered with a wide range of engines from Audi’s more than ample portfolio. The base version will likely be powered by an updated version of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder TFSI with an output of around 220HP.
Further up the range there will be a new 3.0-liter petrol V6 similar to the one found in the S5, but with a turbocharger replacing the supercharger and a maximum output of 300HP.
Consumption-conscious buyers who don't want to sacrifice performance will be able to opt for Audi's 3.0-litre TDI V6 diesel with 250HP and 550 Nm (406 lb/ft) of torque or the plug-in hybrid version that will combine the 2.0-liter TFSI with a 100HP electric motor.
