The Audi TT is now in its second generation — and both generations have been available in two car body styles; as a 2+2 Coupé, or two-seater Roadster. They have been built on consecutive generations of the Volkswagen Group A platform, starting with the A4 (PQ34). As a result of this platform-sharing, the Audi TT has identical powertrain and suspension layouts as its related platform-mates; this includes a front-mounted transversely orientated engine, front-wheel drive or quattro permanent four-wheel drive system, and fully independent front suspension using MacPherson struts.

For 2011, Volkswagen has taken its volume-selling Jetta in a new direction. It's not so radically different that you won't recognize the car, but there are significant changes. In the recent past, the Jetta was seen as a costlier upmarket alternative to the Corolla, Civic, and Focus; the new model has been redesigned to compete in the heart of the market.

But you wouldn't know that based on the dimensions of the sedan and wagon.

Announcement of the "Green Car of the Year" winner is one of the major events at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The five finalists for this year's award have been announced.

This year's selection not only includes hybrids, which have been part of the contest since its inception, but for the first time includes electric vehicles, and -- surprisingly -- a gasoline-powered vehicle, as well. The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid represent the hybrid entries. (Lincoln sibling Mercury Milan Hybrid, which has now been discontinued, was a finalist in last year's contest.)

The Nissan LEAF and the Chevrolet Volt are the first electric vehicles to be named as GCOY finalists. The Volt recently was embroiled in controversy as details of its range-extender engine clashed with previous GM pronouncements. Finally, the Ford Fiesta joins as a finalist due to its 40 mpg highway range. "These five 2011 Green Car of the Year® finalists reflect an auto industry in transition," Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and editor of GreenCar.com, said in a statement. "It wasn't long ago when electric drive was a novelty. Now, it's expected that auto manufacturers will include electric drive in some form among their model offerings."

No diesel vehicles made finalist this year.

GCOY judges again include Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council; Jean-Michel Cousteau, president of Ocean Futures Society; Matt Petersen, president of Global Green USA; Carl Pope, chairman of the Sierra Club; television host Jay Leno; and automotive icon Carroll Shelby.

Chrysler has given us a sneak peak of its 2011 Dodge Journey crossover.

Admittedly, the Journey's exterior revisions are modest, at best. Dodge's new corporate grille pattern is applied up front, while the previous model's blocky rear taillights are replaced with sleek, elongated lamp assemblies. No matter, as designers focused their efforts on what really needed work: the interior.

The blocky, plastic-laden interior of the last Journey appears to be a thing of the past. The 2011 model receives a completely overhauled cabin, complete with a sleek, curvaceous instrument panel, similar to that used on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. A new gauge cluster incorporates a full-color LCD vehicle information display, while audio, navigation, climate, and phone systems are apparently bundled into a new touch-screen system, which Chrysler dubs Uconnect Touch. Other improvements include new seats, a revised front storage bin, new steering wheel, and a redesigned center console, which hides power outlets and a USB audio input within its storage cubby.

Mechanically speaking, the biggest news for 2011 comes with the arrival of a new six-cylinder engine offering. As predicted, Chrysler's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 replaces the aging 3.5-liter V-6, although it continues to be mated with the company's six-speed 62TE automatic transmission. At 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, it represents a 48-horsepower and 28-pound-feet improvement over the outgoing engine. Dodge also says its engineers have refined chassis tuning, reportedly improving the crossover's handling through revised suspension geometry, upgraded tires, and sharpened steering.

Chrysler says production of 2011 Journeys in Toluca, Mexico, will begin shortly, and deliveries to dealers nationwide should commence in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Porsche announced yesterday that all 500 copies of its GT2 RS have been spoken for worldwide. Talk about a quick sale.

That's an impressive feat, considering each 911 GT2 RS carried a base price of $245,000 -- but it isn't all that surprising. Each GT2 RS was about as close to a street-legal 911 racer as money could buy. A twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six-cylinder engine spat out a whopping 620 horsepower, and channeled that power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

Engineers stripped the car of virtually any feature deemed unnecessary, and other tricks -- like a carbon fiber hood, single-lug wheels, and vinyl Porsche crest logos -- helped bring the curb weight down to a paltry 3020 pounds. As a result, the GT2 RS is capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in a scant 3.4 seconds, with a top speed in the realm of 205 mph.

According to Porsche, 133 of the 500 GT2 RS preorders are from American customers, who will take delivery of their cars beginning February 2011. Although they had to pony up some serious cash in order to attain this über-911, customers can take solace in at least one fact: anyone else looking to steal one away will likely be paying a sizable premium over the already steep MSRP.

Ford's new 2.0-liter engine is rife with technology that makes such impressive figures possible.

Not only does the engine feature direct-injection, but it also offers twin independent variable camshaft timing (what Ford refers to as Ti-VCT) and is E85 flex fuel capable. E85 represents a fuel blend of 85 percent gasoline and 15 percent corn-based ethanol.

The result is an engine that produces a full 20 horsepower and 10 pound-feet more than the current 2011 Ford Focus' 2.0-liter I4. That horsepower figure also appears to put the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze's base engine to shame. The Cruze's 1.4-liter turbocharged I-4 is said to produce 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, while achieving similar highway fuel economy.

Both of these figures come alongside a fuel economy estimate of 40 mpg in highway driving when matched to Ford's upcoming six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

Last week, General Motors issued a recall for 2009-10 Chevrolet Impalas. According to GM's NHTSA filing, the problem lies with the front seatbelt anchorages. Some of the seatbelts may not be properly secured to the lapbelt pretensioner. This could lead to the seatbelts not restraining occupants as intended in the event of an accident, which could lead to greater injury. Approximately 303,000 may have been affected. GM has authorized its dealerships to assess the seatbelt anchors and make the necessary adjustments or replace the anchors entirely. The recall will begin by October 26, 2010.

Volvo S60

The Volvo S60 is a compact executive sedan produced by the Swedish automaker Volvo from 2000. Two generations of the sedan have been produced to date.The S60 marked a clean break for Volvo from the boxy design that many associated the brand with in the 1980s and 90s. Its design, done by a design team lead by Peter Horbury, built upon the styling of the S80 and was the most marked departure from traditional Volvo styling since Horbury joined the firm in 1992. Accordingly, Volvo marketed the car as heralding a “Revolvolution”.


The S60 was refreshed in 2005. The exterior was updated with body-colored side moldings and bumpers, as well as new headlamps. The interior received some updates as well, with new seats, trim, and an updated center console. The Four-C chassis from the S60 R became an option on some S60s. The T5 engine was also reengineered from 2.3 to 2.4 liters and received an increase of 10 bhp (7 kW; 10 PS).
