Porsche Cayenne

And looking really good.
This freshens things up without ruining anything.

In the US we will be getting this in 4 versions.
Cayenne Diesel, Turbo, S and the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid.

Cadillac ATS Coupe

Nothing new really.

Just some new pictures from GM.

I really think the ATS will work better as a coupe.

After test driving one for a week a few months ago, I was surprised how unusable was the rear seat, and the tiny rear doors.

So things won't be much worse with 2 doors, plus it does look a bit better.

It is still pretty boring and really does not stand out in any way.

But at least the proportions seem a bit better to me.

I can't help but remembering the first generation CTS. Which was a car that did stand out in a crowd. With a simple and modern design for its time.

Since, Cadillac has been busy adding lines, chrome and details everywhere.

Mercedes C-Class prices

It will start at $38 400 for the base C300.

But like the GLA, this "base" model is only available early next year.

If you want a new C-Class right now (August 25th), you'll have to spend $40 400 for the C300 4MATIC.

Or $48 590 for the V6 C400 4MATIC.

Just like with BMW, these names don't mean anything anymore.

With the C300, you are NOT getting a 3.0 Liter engine.

You are getting a 2.0 Liter with 241HP.

And you are NOT getting a 4.0 Liter with the C400, you are getting a 3.0 Liter with 329HP.

(I guess some marketing genius thinks calling a car C200 sounds cheap...)

The new model is about $6000 more than the "old" one. Which is quite a jump.

Actually making sense for them since it allows more room for the new CLA.

But it is also about $6000 more than a base 3 series from BMW. And even more compared to a base Audi A4.
