  • 12 February 2015:  2015 SCION FR-S: A favorite among car enthusiasts, the Scion exciting FR-S sports coupe adds enhanced handling and stability for the 2015 model year. Scion explains that the letters 'FR-S' stand for Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, and Sport. It's Scion's definition of an authentic rear-wheel drive sports car. Pop the hood, and examine the 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that is the result of a joint development between Toyota and Subaru. The flat-four creates a 12.5:1 compression ratio, as well as an impressive 200 horsepower and mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management technology. The FR-S's low weight (2,758 with manual to 2,806 pounds with automatic) is complimented by a dynamically tuned suspension setup. The fierce exterior of the FR-S is remarkably sleek and low, with a menacing face, aggressive sporty dual exhaust system and LEDs illuminate the edgy taillights. New this model year is a more streamlined shark-fin antenna, auto on/off headlights and new key design. Opening the door reveals a low and comfortable 2+2 passenger cockpit, displaying a large center-mounted tachometer, the focus of the three-gauge cluster. The FR-S is available in seven colors including Raven, Asphalt, Hot Lava, Ultramarine and Firestorm. For 2015, Halo replaces Whiteout for the exterior pearl white paint for an additional $395 fee, and Steel replaces Argento as a silver color. The compact FR-S is Scion's new halo car, expanding the brand into a new dimension of driving performance.<br />

  • 08  February 2013: 2014 Jaguar F Type S. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois<br />
<br />
2013 JAGUAR F-TYPE: An all-new model that broadens Jaguar's sports and GT lineup with be pulling in the crowds during the 105th edition of the Chicago Auto Show. It's the 2013 Jaguar F-Type that represents a return to the company's heart: a two-seat, convertible sports car focused on performance, agility and driver involvement. The F-Type introduces a new design language for Jaguar, with bold, clean lines, a deployable rear spoiler and hidden door handles. For 2013, there are three F-types offered - F-Type, F-Type S and the F-Type V8 S, powered respectively by the new Jaguar supercharged 3-liter V-6 engine in 340 horsepower and 380hp outputs and a 495hp 5 liter supercharged V-8. All engines drive through an eight-speed 'Quickshift' automatic transmission, with steering wheel-mounted paddles for full manual control. Incredible performance numbers for the F-type are listed as 0-to-60 in 5.1 seconds for the F-Type, 4.8 for the S model and 4.2 for the V8 S. Top track speed is 186 mph. Additionally, the F-TYPE S and V8 S models are fitted with the Jaguar Adaptive Dynamics suspension damping system that controls vertical body movement, roll and pitch rates. The F-Type's lightweight soft top folds in 12 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph, and when lowered, the top serves as its own tonneau cover. Inside the asymmetric cabin layout, the enveloping environment is create so that all controls are placed naturally for the driver. There are two audio systems from premium British audio experts Meridian, which places both occupants at the center of their own perfectly focused surround sound field.

  • 08  February 2013: 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster automobile. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois<br />
<br />
2013 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA: Since the Mazda MX-5 Miata first debut at the Chicago Auto Show (CAS) more than 20 years ago, this pure sports car continues to be the segment-defining roadster. With more than 900,000 units sold, the MX-5 is the best-selling two-seat roadster in the world. For the '13 model year, which is the third and current generation, the MX-5 wears an updated rendition of the original long, lean and supplely rounded body. Trim levels comprise the entry Sport, luxury-loaded Grand Touring, and in between those two, the all-new Club trim that replaces the previous Touring package. All 2013 MX-5 Miata models receive a fresh new front fascia, with fog lights and new 17-inch alloy wheel design on specific models. The thrilling growl when the ignition key is turned to start, comes from the MZR 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder. That engine produces 158 horsepower when equipped to the six-speed Sport automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted dual-paddle shifters, and 167hp with the manual gearbox. Either set-up is geared toward the joy of uncomplicated driving that is focused on the occupant behind the steering wheel. Sun worshipers have their choice of two distinctive and easy-to-operate roof covers. Standard is the Z-fold design soft top, and an available power retractable hardtop, which outsells the soft-tops by a 4:1 ratio worldwide. Mazda cleverly timed the opening-and-closing cycles for the hardtop at 12 seconds, which coincidently, is "faster than the never-convenient red-light-green-light pause." The top itself descends into a cleverly designed storage well, yet leaves the 5.3 cubic feet of cargo space completely untouched.

  • 12 February 2015:  2015 CADILLAC ELR: The 107th annual Chicago Auto Show, Feb. 14-22, 2015, becomes the third year that the sleek Cadillac ELR electric vehicle luxury coupe has been displayed in the Windy City. It’s the first application of an extended-range electric vehicle technology by a full-line luxury automotive brand. The Cadillac ELR has an aggressive, forward-leaning profile that introduces a new, progressive theme and proportion in Cadillac’s design evolution. The overall shape is reinforced by a prominent, sweeping body line accented by 20-inch wheels pushed to the edges of the body. Making the ELR a standout are the light-emitting diode (LED) headlamps, daytime running lamps and taillamps, as well as signature front and rear lighting elements. Inside, the ELR’s classic 2+2 layout is driver focused and fitted with leather-trimmed cockpit that blends authentic chrome and wood accents – and available carbon fiber trim – as well as a sueded microfiber headliner and steering wheel covered in leather and sueded microfiber. True engineering marvels power the ELR, combining pure electric drive and an efficient, range-extending 1.4L gasoline-powered electric generator capable of 207 horsepower of total system power. Using only the energy stored in the battery, the ELR delivers a range of about 35 miles of pure electric driving. The premium Bose 10-channel audio system with active noise cancellation is standard equipment.  For the record, the ELR design is almost unchanged from the Converj concept that was a hit at the ‘09 Chicago show.<br />

For 2013, there are three F-types offered - F-Type, F-Type S and the F-Type V8 S, powered respectively by the new Jaguar supercharged 3-liter V-6 engine in 340 horsepower and 380hp outputs and a 495hp 5 liter supercharged V-8. All engines drive through an eight-speed 'Quickshift' automatic transmission, with steering wheel-mounted paddles for full manual control. Incredible performance numbers for the F-type are listed as 0-to-60 in 5.1 seconds for the F-Type, 4.8 for the S model and 4.2 for the V8 S. Top track speed is 186 mph. Additionally, the F-TYPE S and V8 S models are fitted with the Jaguar Adaptive Dynamics suspension damping system that controls vertical body movement, roll and pitch rates. The F-Type's lightweight soft top folds in 12 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph, and when lowered, the top serves as its own tonneau cover. Inside the asymmetric cabin layout, the enveloping environment is create so that all controls are placed naturally for the driver. There are two audio systems from premium British audio experts Meridian, which places both occupants at the center of their own perfectly focused surround sound field.

  • 08  February 2013: 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster automobile. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois<br />
<br />
2013 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA: Since the Mazda MX-5 Miata first debut at the Chicago Auto Show (CAS) more than 20 years ago, this pure sports car continues to be the segment-defining roadster. With more than 900,000 units sold, the MX-5 is the best-selling two-seat roadster in the world. For the '13 model year, which is the third and current generation, the MX-5 wears an updated rendition of the original long, lean and supplely rounded body. Trim levels comprise the entry Sport, luxury-loaded Grand Touring, and in between those two, the all-new Club trim that replaces the previous Touring package. All 2013 MX-5 Miata models receive a fresh new front fascia, with fog lights and new 17-inch alloy wheel design on specific models. The thrilling growl when the ignition key is turned to start, comes from the MZR 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder. That engine produces 158 horsepower when equipped to the six-speed Sport automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted dual-paddle shifters, and 167hp with the manual gearbox. Either set-up is geared toward the joy of uncomplicated driving that is focused on the occupant behind the steering wheel. Sun worshipers have their choice of two distinctive and easy-to-operate roof covers. Standard is the Z-fold design soft top, and an available power retractable hardtop, which outsells the soft-tops by a 4:1 ratio worldwide. Mazda cleverly timed the opening-and-closing cycles for the hardtop at 12 seconds, which coincidently, is "faster than the never-convenient red-light-green-light pause." The top itself descends into a cleverly designed storage well, yet leaves the 5.3 cubic feet of cargo space completely untouched.
