This is Motor City

2011 Chrysler 200

"If you had one shot, or one opportunity, to cease everything that you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip?" Most of you music fans know who said this. What's really iconic was that he made a Super Bowl commercial in his home state with this car. If you were watching the Super Bowl yesterday, you should've seen a commercial featuring snippets of what was and is Motor City, USA, which is Detroit, Michigan. You also should've seen this car been driven around the city by Eminem. This was by far the best Super Bowl commercial I've ever seen, and it's my video of the week. Why? 1. It outlines Chrysler's big comeback to bringing the best in luxury. 2. It proves that in America, we can do just about anything. 3. It has Eminem in it. What would've made this commercial much better is if he was driving the new 300. But, it doesn't matter. Chrysler's back and better than ever. They took the shot, and now they're back in the game. If you haven't seen the commercial, see it here.

Porsche Power

The Porsche 918 GT Racer has already been confirmed for a Detroit debut, but rumor has it that the German Automaker is also unveiling an entirely new sports car based off the 918 Spyder. It could, most likely, look like this, which makes it look cool. Porsche is just bringing up so much suspense for the NAIAS. The 918 Spyder was a brilliant looking car and if they show us the production model on Monday, it will make the brand even cooler. Then, there's this brand new supercar they plan to unveil. What's it gonna look like? The only way to find out is to wait 'til Monday when the car will be unveiled. One thing's for certain: I hope it doesn't turn out ugly like the Panamera.

CTS-V Racer

2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe SCCA Racer

The Detroit Auto Show starts next Monday and Cadillac have already prepared their debut model: a race car. The CTS-V Coupe has been modified for SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) purposes. No word on the exact specs of the car yet, but I've been informed that it has been lightened, more powerful, and is much faster. This racer will hit the track in March and the NAIAS show floor on January 10th.

Some say it will be the production model of the 918 Spyder. Others say it will be another Porsche hybrid. Now, those speculations can be put to rest, because Porsche has officially announced that a racing version of the 918 Spyder is coming to Detroit, and it may look something like this...

Be on the lookout for this new Porsche next month in Detroit.

Fly Like a G6

2012 BMW 650i Convertible

No, the Pontiac G6 isn't making it's comeback. Pontiac is dead, and there's no way GM is bringing it back. But, the BMW 6 Series isn't dead. In fact, they just re-did it, and that's the picture you see above you. This is the all new 2012 BMW 6 Series Convertible. If you thought the old one looked nice, check out this one. From the front, it looks almost like the gorgeous 7 series that's been coupe-ified.

Rear View

The rear has also gone through a makeover as well. Most of the stylings of this car was based off the old BMW CS Concept Coupe. When it came out, a lot of people loved it, and now BMW have added some features onto their premier luxury Coupe.

Interior View

The interior has changed as well. The car now uses the all new BMW steering wheel, the iDrive System has been updated, and the car is longer so people in the back now have more room. There's more stuff in this car, but I can't tell you what it is because I'd be doing something illegal. But, what I can tell you is that this car now uses BMW's 4.4-liter Twin-Turbocharged 400 horsepower V8 engine. That engine will be connected by either the traditional 6-speed manual shifter, or BMW's new 8-speed Automatic Transmission. Get ready to save some money because the all new 6 comes out next year and will make it's official debut in Detroit at the North American Auto Show. The first batch of 6's will be convertibles. The exhilarating coupe will follow afterwards.
