Jaguar
to make a roaring lion? XKR Goodwood Special mooted
 The
details haven't been disbursed yet, but one of Jaguar's chief
engineers has reportedly spilled the beans on a special XKR to
be shown at Goodwood. Called, fittingly, the XKR Goodwood Special,
it will get more power than the standard XKR's (shown above) 500
horses, and more audible snarl than the current exhaust emits.
Because Jag is said to be reconsidering the car's brightwork treatment,
the Goodwood Special will wear a satin graphite detailing package
that could foreshadow a future running change (we know we could
do without the metal surrounds on the car's front skirt nostrils).

Ferrari
599 GTB Fiorano HGTE Sport Package
 The
difference between the standard 599 and this hotted up HGTE package,
as the only visual differences include a tweaked fascia, new exhaust
tips, rear diffuser and bespoke 20-inch wheels. But underneath,
the factory-fettled 599 features a modified magnetorheological
suspension and revised springs, along with uprated tires and a
beefier anti-roll bar to coax a few more fractions of a G out
of Ferrari's super-GT. For around $42,000, you get all that and
more alcantara and carbon fiber, plus "Handling GTE"
embroidered into the sports seats. More

Drive: 2010 Porsche Panamera a 4-door sedan
 The
Panamera is physically more substantial in person than it appears
in pictures. By the tape, it is slightly larger than the Mercedes-Benz
CLS 63. Its overall length is 195.7 inches (2.7 inches longer
than the CLS 63), and the Porsche rides on a 115-inch wheelbase
(2.6 inches longer than the Mercedes). Its stance is significantly
wider too. The front track is 65.2 inches (up 2.2 inches) and
the rear is 64.8 inches (up 2.5 inches). The four-seat design,
with tapered back rests and integrated head restraints, is instantly
recognizable as classic Porsche. More

Review:
Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe
 The
Coupe feels like the unruly offspring of a night of passion between
a C4 Corvette coupe and a Dodge Viper. And while the Solstice
is nowhere near as large or as powerful as those two American
icons, the DNA of both is undoubtedly present in this little machine
– for good reason. It's no coincidence that the history of the
Solstice spans the Bob Lutz era at General Motors. After Lutz
joined GM in 2001 to guide its product development, one of the
first tasks he assigned the design staff was to create a new concept
for the Detroit Auto Show. More

GMC Terrain priced from $24,995
 When
the 2010 GMC Terrain begins rolling out of General Motors' CAMI
assembly facility in Ingersoll, Ontario and into dealerships this
September, the new CUV will be clutching a $24,999 sticker price
(including a $745 destination charge). For that sum, buyers will
get GM's latest direct injected four-cylinder engine, in this
case displacing 2.4-liters and producing 182 horsepower and 174
pound-feet of torque. Perhaps more importantly, this engine manages
to deliver an EPA-estimated 32 miles per gallon on the highway,
a class-leading figure. More

Drive: 2010 Ford Taurus
 The
Taurus name has never been extended upmarket like this before
(let alone in such a waterlogged economy), and it isn't immediately
clear who the model's competitors are – a detail that could prove
problematic when trying to target customers. The Chicago-built
Taurus is no longer a logical Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Chevrolet
Malibu cross-shop – that's the Fusion's turf now. In size, technology,
and aspirations, Ford is pushing its new sedan several of rungs
up the ladder. Is it the right product for the right time? Perhaps
of more immediate concern, is it carrying the right name and will
Ford be able to overcome the Taurus brand's baggage and sell America
on its virtues? More

GM
hits two million Buick sales in China
 It
took General Motors eight years to sell one million Buicks in
China, but the second million came in only three. Brisk auto sales
in the land of the Great Wall are part of the reason for the increase,
but the General has also stepped up its product lineup with new
offerings, including the Regal, LaCrosse, and Park Avenue. Shanghai
GM's two-millionth Buick was a red Regal, delivered to a customer
in the southern city of Guangzhou.While those vehicles have brought
some high-end class to GM Shanghai's Buick operation, they haven't
come close to the success of the smaller Excelle... More

Review:
2010 Lincoln MKZ
 Lincoln
has definitely freshened the look of the MKZ both inside and out,
and it's a markedly more attractive package than the first generation
model. We're not sure if Ford's luxury brand was aiming for the
middle, but after a week with the freshly updated MKZ, that's
exactly where it finds itself. In terms of styling and performance,
the MKZ ends up being a nice alternative for those among us who
want something more spirited than a Lexus ES350 and more subdued
than a Acura TL. Whether those attributes will help Lincoln steal
sales from the competition is another matter. With stellar reliability
ratings, solid performance and the most standard features in its
class, it should. More

Audi R8 Spyder will launch with V10 only, next A8 not coming to
Frankfurt
 It's
been all but confirmed by Audi that the R8 Spyder is due to debut
alongside the new A5 Sportback at the Frankfurt Motor Show this
September, but according to two reports from Car and Driver, there
will be one less vehicle on the show stand in Germany and only
one engine available in the drop-top supercar. The 2011 Audi R8
Spyder will reportedly be available with the 525 hp, 5.2-liter
V10 at launch -- meaning no V8 -- with a standard six-speed manual
gearbox or optional R-tronic automated transmission. The 420 hp,
4.2-liter V8 currently fitted to the standard R8 could be added
later. More

NISMO 370Z officially priced from $39,130
 The
hardcore NISMO 370Z first appeared in April at the New York Auto
Show, but Nissan didn't stick a price tag on it at that time.
Those interested in the ultimate in factory Z performance now
know that they will have to save up $39,130 in order to get a
taste. For that near 40 grand price tag, pretty much everything
is included on this late-to-the-party 2009 model. The only options
available for the NISMO are back-lit sill plates, carpeted floor
mats and a carpeted trunk mat, none of which do anything to make
the NISMO any quicker.All of the go-faster bits are included in
price of admission, including an upgraded 3.7-liter V6 that bumps
power from 332 to 350 horsepower, and torque nudges from 270 to
275 pound-feet. Like the standard Z. More
