Cadillac debuts its 2013 XTS

The 2013 Cadillac XTS has arrived, setting its sights against European luxury sports cars like the BMW 5 Series and the Audi A6.

Cadillac took the wraps off of the midsize XTS Wednesday morning at the LA Auto Show.

"Our goal in every segment we enter is not to compete in it but to be the best in it," said Don Butler, Cadillac's vice president of marketing.

The XTS, the replacement for the STS and DTS, will arrive at dealerships in the spring. It will feature Cadillac's 3.6-liter direct injection V-6 that produces 300 horsepower and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

It's a marked change for Cadillac — there won't be a V-8 under the hood.

Mark Reuss, General Motors Co.'s North American president, said the XTS will not be the only new vehicle to join Cadillac's lineup next year —the compact sports car, the ATS, will also join the fold.

"The XTS and the ATS share the same objective," Reuss said, "to win in the global luxury market."

Suzuki Kizashi: First drive

Kizashi means optimism in Japanese, but it's also the name of Suzuki's D segment rival to class-leaders, such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat.

Now, with 23,000 sales worldwide, Suzuki has decided to sell the car in the UK and presented me with a problem. As even after one days driving, I can't really work out how I feel about this car.

On sale in January, the Kizashi will be exclusive, with just 500 units available to UK buyers and unlike many other rivals in this class, it's fitted with standard four-wheel drive and CVT transmission.

Ford Escape Cars Review And Specification

We do not know for sure, but with the amount of money thrown around price, we would not be surprised.

Extensive car modification including changes to body panels, suspension, aerodynamics and interior.

Acura TL A-Price

The fourth generation of Honda's luxury mid-size sedan comes with enhanced style, performance and fuel economy. Despite the upgrades, its looks are still lacking.
The 2012 model gets a new six-speed automatic transmission with both engines, which through its high-tech design allows double-kick-down shifts and contributes to slightly better fuel economy.

The TL’s double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension are effective, but Acura improves ride quality and road-holding further by employing dual-stage “blow off” style hydraulic suspension dampers, hydro-compliant bushings for mounting the transmission and key suspension components and a high-tech engine mount design.

The SH-AWD model receives special rate coil springs and unique damper tuning. When you drive the TL you can appreciate these invisible components going about their jobs under the car.

This TL starts good and just gets better the more you add to it. My SH-AWD model sported both the Tech Package and the Advance Package. The former brings in those sensational and admired seats as well as a fully featured navigation system with voice recognition and real-time traffic and weather. The potent sound system, along with extra insulation for silence, gives you a portable concert hall as you go about your merry way.

2012 acura tl

The Advance Package comprises sporty 19-inch wheels and a blind-spot information system. These systems, which are proliferating the industry, help prevent those all-too-common incidents where drivers don’t see their neighbors and pull into the lane next to them, causing an accident. It’s hard to imagine why you’d buy the TL without these packages, but you can.

The TL is assembled in Marysville, Ohio, site of the original Honda manufacturing plant — the first Japanese auto plant in the U.S. — which opened in 1982. So this Japanese-brand vehicle, made in America, is out to fight the Germans. That’s today’s international automotive scene.



The TL, without any additional stuff, starts at $37,465. My upscale tester, with both packages, came to $45,945. That’s a lot, but the car’s loaded and increasingly offers an alternative to the German sport sedans against which it has been very carefully designed to compete.
