For 2009, the new Q7 Diesel will be available in two trim levels designated as the TDI Clean Diesel and the TDI Clean Diesel Premium. In more basic terms, think of the regular one as "The Feast" and the Premium one as "The Feast with Wine"! My reason for selecting this analogy is that the regular version has just about everything you could ever want in a luxury SUV. Adding extras that some will appreciate but are not needed to enjoy the vehicle is like adding a bottle of fine wine to an already outstanding meal. Not everyone wants or appreciates the wine, but the meal is a culinary experience by itself. Full story...

Rüsselsheim. The high performance version of the Car of the Year 2009 will be unveiled on May 7, when the Opel Insignia OPC premieres at the Barcelona Motor Show, ten years after the launch of the first OPC model (Opel Performance Center). The heart of the Insignia OPC is its 2.8 V6 Turbo engine. Derived from the powerful gasoline engine already available on the top-of-the-line Insignia, this version reaches an output of 239 kW/325 hp. The increase in power was obtained by a special engine development and by reworking the exhaust, significantly reducing the counter pressure. And because sound is so important in the appreciation of an engine, the acoustic specialists worked on the exhaust of the V6 by adopting specific center and rear mufflers. Full story...

First comes the BMW 5-series Gran Turismo, with a 3-series Gran Turismo to follow in 2012.
The new BMW 5-series Gran Turismo is (almost) here - displayed as a thinly veiled concept in Geneva. The nearly identical production version is scheduled to make its debut in Frankfurt this fall; it should be in showrooms before the end of the year. But that's not the entire BMW GT story. The company isn't talking about it yet, but we'll see the same theme again with a 3-series Gran Turismo coming three years from now.

Jaguar increases the power without increasing fuel consumption in its sumptuous convertible.
What's better than an all-new, supercharged V-8 engine that makes 90 hp and 48 lb-ft of torque more than its predecessor while improving the Jaguar XKR's 0-to-60-mph time from a claimed 4.9 to 4.6 seconds? An all-new, supercharged V-8 that does all that without a concomitant increase in fuel consumption, that's what.

Stuttgart's newest gem isn't a car-it's an ultramodern museum.
Rising from the hallowed ground of the company's Stuttgart headquarters, the new $130 million Porsche Museum deploys an imposing 60,000 square feet of stark white display space, enough to exhibit about eighty cars. The structure, expected to attract more than 200,000 visitors annually, employs more oddly angled struts than a Le Mans racer.
