2012 Ford Police Interceptor: The Crown Vic's Robocop Replacement
1 day ago

Ford's Crown Victoria-based police interceptor will finally end production late next year. This is its replacement — the 2012 Ford Police Interceptor. Other than the movie Robocop, it's the first time Ford's Taurus has served as a purpose-built patrol car.

Ford first introduced its police package in 1950 and today the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is the industry leader. The automaker's dominated the streets to the point that over the last five years, Ford's controlled more than 70% of the patrol cars sold. Obviously police fleets are an important segment. Unfortunately, the Crown Vic's Panther-platform's getting a little long in the tooth — it hasn't seen a redesign in over 15 years. The replacement? An all-new Police Interceptor built off the Ford Taurus platform that will be produced at Ford's Chicago, Ill. assembly plant...

2011 Jaguar XJ is Indisputably British and Not Afraid of a Storm
1 day ago

Xynthia ripped into France merely hours after our arrival. Packing gale-force fury, the ruthless wind and rain battered the coast before moving inland with its crushing blow - sadly, it was the country's deadliest storm in more than a decade. While we were spared most of its rage, the countryside outside Paris was a soggy debris-laden mess - not exactly optimal conditions to test the latest flagship sedan from Jaguar.

Soldiering forth - and more intrigued than ever with the all-new saloon - we ignored the rain and spent a long day trekking around the drenched landscape with both the short- and long-wheelbase models...

Acura TSX Sport Wagons, Ho! U.S. Getting Honda Accord Wagon
1 day ago

Honda's heeded the chorus of "Eeews!" over the Accord Crosstour's design, bringing the euro Accord Wagon stateside as the Acura TSX Sport Wagon.

Honda announced today it'll debut the Acura TSX Sport Wagon — you can't call anything just a wagon anymore — later this month at this year's New York Auto Show. This will be followed up by a quick trip to the dealerships in the "late fall" i.e. expect to wait until at least October.

It's unfortunate they're going to add a premium to it, but It makes sense to bring it here as the Acura since the TSX already shares a platform with the Euro Accord and there's already the U.S. Accord-based Crosstour. As for pricing, the Honda Accord Crosstour starts at $29,670, just higher than the Acura TSX starting price of $29,310. It's big brother the ZDX starts at $45,495 so we're hoping the TSX slots somewhere in between...

BMW: Actually, We're Planning On More Than 200 ActiveE units for the U.S.
1 day ago

There was news last week that BMW's upcoming lease program for the BMW ActiveE concept, an all-electric 1 Series, would be limited to 200 units in the U.S. BMW would like everyone to know that final distribution numbers for the ActiveE program have not yet been decided, but that there will be at least twice that many here. BMW announced today that the ActiveE fleet "will be at least as large as the MINI E fleet which is currently in operation. There are 450 MINI Es on the road in the US right now."

The point BMW is trying to make is that it is totally committed to electric drive vehicles. For example, drivers of the Mini E who are enjoying their vehicles - something BMW says is common - and want to extend their leases by a year will be able to do so. The Mini E will be "prominently featured" at the upcoming New York Auto Show, and we'll see if we can't track down more details about the upcoming ActiveE program at that time.

China-Made Bugatti Veyron Phone Can Be Yours for $200
1 day ago

 

You know those ‘Made in China’ tags that comes with just about every piece of merchandise you buy these days? Well, now you can add something to that seemingly endless list: a Bugatti - or ’Bugatty’, as its called - Veyron mobile phone. We’re not kidding; there really is one. Not only that, but it’s got some pretty nifty features too, including a 2.4-inch touch screen, an FM radio, a camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and dual-sim capability.

The downside of this novelty phone – that’s the only way to describe it, really – is that it doesn’t come with any warranty whatsoever and the price tag is pretty steep - $200 for one - relative to what you can get with that same amount of money if you just bought the more tried-and-tested brands...

C/D Takes the Lotus Evora Hybrid for a Virtual Spin
Saturday, 13 March 2010

Two years ago, we wrote about Lotus' Safe and Sound hybrid technology which added a V8 soundtrack over the quietude of a hybrid's electric motor. That demonstrator was a Toyota Prius, but at the Geneva Motor Show Lotus had an Evora 414E Hybrid equipped with several versions of aural enjoyment: a V6, a V12 and a non-ICE audio stab at what an electric car could maybe possibly sound like. Think Buck Rogers. Car and Driver magazine's technical editor Michael Austin sat with a Lotus engineer and tried it out. Follow the jump for the first strains of the future.
