Maybach To Be Cancelled!!
AutoExpress, a British magazine is reporting that the Maybach is due to be cancelled. Maybach will launch very mildly face lifted of its three model line up. It will be small changes such as a new grille and LED lighting before the brand slips away. Maybach executives have now privately admitted plans to wind down the brand – resurrected in 2002 – due to disappointing sales. The reason for killing the Maybach brand is because of poor sales prior to the economic meltdown and Mercedes plans to take the all new S class to a whole new level when it’s unveiled in 2014. The new S-Class is set to be the most hi-tech Mercedes to date. I personally don’t know why people buy Maybach when it looks like a fixed up S-Class, when you can get a very nice Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Video: Audi R8 Spyder Review
Awesome review of the R8 Spyder. I like how he drives it very hard and does some drifts in the rain. Very nice car, I like how the rear window can go down even with the top up.

Video: Audi R8 Driven in Parking Structure
I rarely find myself attracted to convertible’s but the Audi R8 is amazing. Very nice car, would prefer it with the top down vs. the coupe. The dubbing in the video was a bit cheesy.

2011 Porsche Cayenne
Engine options for the new Cayenne include the VW Group-sourced 3.6-liter V6 petrol with 300HP (also found in the Panamera) and 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel with 240HP, as well as a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 with 400HP (Cayenne S) and a turbocharged version of the same V8 with 500HP (Cayenne Turbo).
The big news for the latest Cayenne, however, is the introduction of a Hybrid model motivated by the same diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain found on the Touareg. It couples a 3.3-liter supercharged V6 TSI producing 333HP and 265 lb-ft of torque to a 47HP electric motor for a total output of 380HP and 580Nm or 428 lb-ft.
The Cayenne Hybrid can cover short distances at speed of up to 60km/h or 40mph in pure electric mode. No performance or economy figures were released but the Germans claim that with CO2 emissions of 193g/km, the Cayenne Hybrid is the firm’s cleanest Porsche throughout the company’s entire portfolio.
