  • 08 February 2012:  2012 FORD SHELBY GT500: Following on the heels of the reengineered 2011 Ford Shelby GT500, Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) adds several upgrades to the 2012 edition. The 2+2 cockpit can now be ordered with race-inspired Recaro front bucket seats, leather-trim and embroidered "cobra" logo and stripes that are color-matched to the exterior stripes. Even the integrated head restraints are designed for drivers and passengers wearing helmets on the track.

Standard transmission is the Tremec six-speed manual. The 2012 Shelby GT500 now offers selectable steering settings that can be tailored for specific driving needs. Other optional goodies include SYNC technology with availability of AppLink, HD Radio digital jukebox hard drive that can store up to 2,400 songs, and Clarion Navigation System.

  • 08  February 2013: 2014 GMC Sierra Terrain pickup truck.  Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois<br />
<br />
2014 GMC SIERRA: Come to the 2013 Chicago Auto Show and witness the Chicago debut of the most advanced truck in GMC's 110-year history. It's the next generation, 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 full-size pickup with an updated engine portfolio for increased power, torque and fuel efficiency across the board. There is a 4.3 liter V-6, a 5.3L V-8 and a 6.2L V-8 offered, all from a shared EcoTec3 engine family. Each of the powerplants is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade braking. Premium materials, attention to detail and purposeful technology define Sierra's all-new cabin. Redesigned instrument cluster is available with a centrally located, 4.2-inch color driver information center. Sierra is offered with a 110-volt outlet, up to five USB ports, four 12-volt outlets and an SD card slot. The Crew Cab, representing more than 60 percent of retail Sierra buyers, has cabins for five or six passengers, and a choice between the current 5-foot, 8-inch box, or a new 6-ft, 6-in box. Regular cabs (2/3 passenger) continue with the 6-ft, 6-in. or 8-ft box lengths, while the extended cab (5/6 seater) come exclusively with a 6-ft, 6-in. box.

  • 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 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID: Marking a key milestone in Lincoln's reinvention is the dramatic 2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid cost no more than the normal gasoline-powered MKZ. The midsize luxury sedan wears a sweeping roofline, steeply raked windshield, classic split-wing grille (first used on 1938 Lincoln-Zephyr), crafted LED headlights in sync with the steering wheel, and thin, full-width LED taillight graphic. The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is front-wheel drive and equipped with the 141-horsepower 2.0L four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor for a total rating of 188-hp. The entire setup is linked with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Next-generation lithium-ion batteries save weight and generate more power than the previous nickel-metal-hydride batteries. The 70-kilowatt electric traction motor alone can power the car up to 85 mph. The EPA-estimated fuel economy rating is 41 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 40 mpg combined. Innovation and technology abound inside all '15 MKZ Hybrid, starting with MyLincoln Touch driver connect technology, push-button shift, remote start and a retractable panoramic roof that utilizes a 15.2-square-foot glass panel. The new MKZ is the only sedan in its class to offer inflatable second-row outboard seat belts, and the available THX II car audio system is a Lincoln-exclusive that contains 700 watts, 14 channels and 14 speakers. New exterior colors added to the 2015 paint palette include Luxe, Magnetic, Bronze Fire and Guard. Finally, the well-tailored truck provides an ample 15.4 cu. ft. of luggage room.<br />
