Are you the facelifted 2012 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG

Now that we’ve seen the facelifted 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class in its bread-and-butter C250, C300 and C350 forms, it’s time to start thinking about the holier-than-thou, unabashedly hardcore C63 AMG. The folks at Germany’s EvoCars have stumbled upon what appear to be production-spec images of the AMG-laden 2012 C-Class, and while the brash bulginess of the current car has been toned down somewhat, there’s certainly nothing sedate about this new menacing Merc.

The biggest question about the next-generation C63 is whether or not Mercedes-Benz will ditch the current car’s glorious naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 in favor of the new twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter mill that will be used in the CL63, S63 and CLS63. EvoCars states that only the new C63 AMG Coupe will receive the 5.5-liter heart, and that power of the 6.2 will be bumped up for use in the sedan. Still, with either engine, we’re sure the C63 will be as lively as ever out on the road.

Ford Mustang you can buy in Europe

It is an icon: the Ford Mustang. But the party took place mainly on the other side of the ocean off. That will change soon.

The Ford Mustang is coming to Europe. Ford takes the iconic sports car here and that is good news for the fans. That fanatic there is clearly the number of copies using the gray import to this side of the Atlantic is achieved.

Ford has no release date or detailed specification of the European Mustang free but if we are still here in the U.S. then we can only be happy. The festival starts with the 3.7 V6 with 305 hp. With any luck, the 650-hp Shelby - with a V8 engine - this way but that is not certain.

Ford CEO Stephen Odell explains during the announcement of the European adventure of the brand Mustang why the "wise" decision has been taken: "If you saw what a great response the Mustang got this summer when he was seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England and in the Le Mans Classic in France, then you know how much enthusiasm this American style icon throughout Europe loosens. The Ford Mustang is pure and has a lot of fans here in Europe. Who now have something to look forward to, as we look forward here soon about to tell. "

Subaru XV SUV You will drive GPL

Subaru XV: You will drive GPL. This year Subaru SUVs featuring the launch of the fifteenth, a good product which still has the good line from the rest of the range. Despite the competing models, Subaru is known to defend well, offering some specific elements found only in this model. The attractive image is convincing in the world and the manufacturer has now announced that the range will be expanded in the coming days. This extension is to introduce LPG-powered system between versions to choose from. Represents the option that combines gasoline and liquefied gas.

From next week at dealerships have Spanish versions available for the new version of Subaru SUVs. This option is available in versions 1.6 l and 2.0 l will now 106CV and 145CV having respectively. The performance of both engines is hardly altered while its maximum torque is slightly reduced.

All versions are equipped with four wheel drive permanent and this is a higher consumption cost than in the case of two-wheel traction. Anyway not have a high consumption despite this and despite offering a good height, superior to that of direct competitors. These levels of consumption will be increased with the new GPL. Gas capacity of 48 liters will be added to the tank 70 series. If version 1.6 its consumption is 6.5 l/100km, will now be of 8.9 l/100km and in the case of version 2.0, will be from 6.9 l/100km to 9.6 l/100km with the GPL.

If the system uses more gas, what are the advantages? Combining the LPG conventional fuel (petrol) with the liquefied gas is not to reduce fuel consumption but reduce CO2 in the case of SUVs and SUVs, for example, acquire excessive levels. Thus, the Subaru XV with the LPG system happens to have CO2 emissions of 139 g / km for the 1.6, compared with the 151 g / km for the petrol version, and the 2.0 option is passed to an emission of 160 g / km to 150 g / km.

Here in Spain the liquefied gas system is not abundant among the vehicles on our streets today, however most of the Spanish gas stations have the necessary elements for this type of fuel subminiature. In one of the territories for many years this type of system is common between users is Italy. We predict that Spain will not convince most but in Italy itself it will.

The Subaru XV will now feature an expansion of the range to be more respectful of the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. Within the Asian SUVs, we found a strong rival, the new Kia Sportage which also has very competitive prices.

Are you the 2012 Mercedes Benz C Class Coupe

We’ve been told to expect to get our first glimpse of the next-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March, but a few photos of the German two-door may have leaked out ahead of time. The images you see above were sourced up by the team at GMotors. From what we can tell, the vehicle in the stylized photos lines up pretty well with the spy photos we’ve seen of the 2012 C-Class Coupe so far, which leads us to believe that this may actually be the real deal. If so, the new coupe will wear the new beak of its updated four-door compatriots.

That includes the new slightly restyled front fascia. Interestingly enough, this particular set of photos ditches the quad fog lights we saw in the spy photos in favor of LED units. we’d say that seems like a fairly reasonable change given the popularity of the diodes in automotive design at the moment. Word is that this particular machine will get the same rash of engines as the sedan, meaning that buyers can expect to get their hands on either a 3.0-liter V6 with 228 horsepower or a 3.5-liter six-pot with 268 ponies. The question is, will we get an entry-level four-cylinder model like the 2012 C-Class sedan? Something tells us we’ll know a little more as we get closer to Geneva.
