Honda CR-Z Roadster 2011 - New cars 2011

American Honda tells us that we can expect the six-speed CR-Z to record 31 mpg city/37 mpg highway, while the CVT-equipped CR-Z will return 36 mpg city/38 mpg highway. The CR-Z fits the classic definition of sport, but it abides by much stricter modern safety standards and testing, and it's definitely more comfortable than the roadsters of yesteryear. Also, the CR-Z gets an AT-PZEV rating - the cleanest for any gasoline-powered vehicle.

2012 Audi A6 Avant Specs Review and Price | Car News

2012 Audi A6  Powertrains: 2.0-liter turbo I4, 211 hp, 258 lb-ft; 3.0-liter supercharged V6, 310 hp, 325 lb-ft

Much of the body of the new Audi A6 consists of aluminum and high-tech steels, rendering it exceedingly light, stiff and safe. State-of-the art design methods and materials ensure extremely low interior noise levels. Precision tuning of all components and systematic hydraulic damping in the axle and drivetrain bearings provide excellent vibrational comfort.

The next-generation A6 will be built on Audi's modular-longitudinal platform. This means its front axle moves further to the front, and the nose-heavy look of the current C6 will disappear. The front end, in fact, will look a lot like the Sportback concept, which is essentially the upcoming A7, which is due to launch this summer and is closely related to the A6. The 2012 Audi A6 is a clean-sheet design. 2012 Audi A6 's supercharged 3.0-liter V6 will continue as the key motivator in the A6 lineup, but it's been tuned to deliver 10 additional horsepower for a total of 310.
The design of the new Audi A6 embodies athleticism and elegance. The sedan is 4.92 meters (16.14 ft) long and 1.87 meters (6.14 ft) wide, but just 1.46 meters (4.79 ft) high - sporty proportions that are unrivaled by the competition. The long engine hood, the low, sweeping roofline and the prominent lines on the flanks create a dynamic overall appearance. Optional LED headlights emphasize the striking expression at the front.

While the European Union gets a choice of five powertrains – including 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesels – the U.S. makes do with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the supercharged 3.0-liter TSFI V6. Respective power figures are 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet torque, and 310 hp and 325 lb-ft. The front-wheel-drive 2.0-liter model is offered with a Continuously Variable Transmission, while all Quattro and V6 models get the new ZF-sourced eight-speed Tiptronic. Naturally, fuel economy is up as well, with the 2.0T estimated at 25/33/28 mpg city/highway/combined, while the supercharged six manages a respectable 19/28/22 mpg.

The roomy interior of the new Audi A6 echoes the sinewy style of the exterior. The salient element is the "wrap-around" - an inlay encircling the driver and the front-seat passenger. The elegantly curved dash panel places the driver at the center of the interior.

For every A6 sold in 2010, Mercedes sold seven E-Series models and BMW moved five 5 Series sedans. 2012 Audi A6 Price: $45,000–$60,000.

2012 BMW M5 Review and Specifications | Cars Pictures

 
The new bodywork has the kind of subtle sportiness BMW’s uber-sedan is known for, with big engine-feeding air intakes in the front fascia, signature “M-gills” on the fenders, bulging wheel arches and quad exhaust pipes.


Mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission (rumor has it a manual is on the way, too) the M5 is good for a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds, thanks to a healthy 502 lb-ft of torque. The new generation brings a high-revving 4.4-liter V8 engine with an M TwinPower Turbo package that delivers an impressive 560 hp at 6,000 – 7,000 rpm and a peak torque of 502 lb-ft from 1,500 rpm. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and, when the speed limiter is removed, is capable of hitting an impressive top speed of 190 mph. Despite these impressive performance numbers, the car will deliver an estimated fuel economy of 28.5 mpg.


Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, but an optional M Driver’s Package unlocks the governor and allows the M5 to reach 190 mph. BMW's official efficiency figures for the 2012 M5 say it can offer a fuel economy of up to 28.5 mpg with a 232 g/km CO2 emissions level.

The M5's main competitors are the Euro-only Audi RS6 (twin-turbocharged V-10), Cadillac CTS-V (supercharged V-8), and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (naturally aspirated V-8). The current M5 is losing its appeal among this group, and the game will definitely get more interesting with BMW's next entry.

2012 BMW M5 - The new model is set to hit showrooms in spring 2012.
