But How Should You Get There & Where Should You Park?
For fans of the Chrysler 300 who need a big back seat (for various reasons), Chrysler has just the thing -- the Chrysler 300 Extended Wheelbase. Announced today and to be shown at the New York Auto Show, the stretched version of the popular sedan offers up an additional six inches in length, for 10.2 extra cubic feet of interior space. Sure to make fans among livery companies everywhere, the new Big Daddy LH will be available with Chrysler^s 3.5-liter V-6 or the 5.7-liter V-8 HEMI.
The Volkswagen Eos offers something rare in a hardtop convertible, a sunroof. Power comes from a pair of engines borrowed, like many other parts for the car, from the Passat and Golf. Both engines are from the worldwide mix of Golf and Passat powertrains—the 2.0-liter, 200-hp FSI turbo and 3.2-liter, 250-hp V6. Because the engines fit in a Golf, the front of the car is also Golf-derived. The suspension links are from the Passat. So what you get is a sort of wide-track Golf sans roof, though the line between Passat, Golf and Eos is further blurred once you start looking under the car.
Lexus has revealed the fourth generation of its LS flagship model, the all new LS 460 at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Seventeen years on from the debut of the original LS, Lexus has crafted a luxury saloon that exemplifies its mission to deliver automotive perfection, at prices real-world motorists can afford.

For sports car enthusiasts, the single letter "Z" has become an icon that represents the line of cars from Nissan that first began 36 years ago with the introduction of the 1970 Datsun 240Z, then extended through various 260Z, 280ZX and 300ZX variations over the years before culminating in the modern 350Z that we are familiar with today.
Four and a half years after the launch of the Murcielago, Lamborghini has unwrapped a rather sinister looking 6.5-liter V12-powered LP640 version of its range topping model that’s capable of blasting from 0-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds. And unlike its last show car, the highly contrived remake of the Miura displayed at the Detroit motor show back in January, this 640 hp beast is headed into production.
