2011 Ford Mustang V6

For 2011, Mustang makes sports coupe news with a new high-performance, all-aluminum Duratec® 3.7-liter DOHC Ti-VCT V-6 that delivers 305 horsepower and an expected best-in-class 30 mpg highway with six-speed automatic transmission – no other vehicle in the industry can beat that combination * Six-speed transmissions – manual and automatic – combine with newly standard limited-slip differential and revised suspension for road-carving driving dynamics and handling * New technology and convenience features include: Standard integrated spotter mirrors; message center; MyKey™ programmable vehicle key; and Universal Garage Door Opener  New 3.7-liter V-6 engine With Ti-VCT operating its four valves per cylinder, the new Mustang V-6 powerplant sends significantly more horsepower and torque (305 hp and 280 ft.-lb.) to the rear wheels than its predecessor – despite its smaller displacement.

2011 lexus CT200H

Lexus has released details for its all-new 2011 Lexus CT 200h compact hybrid, which is set to star next week at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Serving as a new entry point to the Lexus brand the CT 200h will enter production towards the end of the year for worldwide sale, which presumably means the car will be headed to local showrooms.

Not surprisingly the CT 200h is packed with technology such as its advanced hybrid powertrain and funky Remote Touch multi-function controller. Design and development work took place with the European market in mind, with targets like the BMW 1-Series and Audi A3 clearly in the CT 200h's sights. The car retains strong visual links to the LF-Ch Concept presented last year and features a conventional five-door body with trademark Lexus elements. According to Lexus
