2013 Toyota Sienna

2013 Toyota Sienna: 2013 Sienna minivan will no longer be offered with a four-cylinder engine. The formerly optional V-6 is now standard in all trims. It’s interesting because across the industry, automakers are divesting themselves of gas-hungry V-6 and V-8s like Waffen SS soldiers ditched their uniforms back in May of ’45 on account of political incorrectness and (in the case of bigger engines) the looming need to pass snuff with the new 35.5 MPG fuel economy mandate that goes into effect beginning with model year 2016 vehicles.

In theory, the Sienna’s formerly available 2.7 liter four ought to be an asset, efficiency-wise. In actual real-world fact, its MPGs (19 city, 24 highway) were virtually the same as the now-standard V-6′s (17 city, 23 highway). The problem wasn’t with the four cylinder engine – an engine that does deliver good economy in other Toyota models. It’s just too small to deal with a bus like the Sienna – which even in FWD form weighs in at a qaudruple Oprah-esque 4,275 lbs.

2013 Toyota RAV4

2013 Toyota RAV4: Japanese car makers do not disclose the full details of the new 2013 Toyota RAV4 diesel yet but says will produce more than 300nm of torque, with two-thirds of which is generated from just above idle, and has a fuel consumption below 6.0L/100km. Part of the charm of the original 2013 Toyota RAV4 is its small footprint. The tiny Toyota is easy to maneuver and is quite fun to drive, yet still provide a high seating position and a versatile interior Americans love so much about the SUV.

Although it did not go all the way back, 2013 RAV4 does not take steps to root. While it retains the 104.7-inch wheelbase of its predecessor, the 2013 RAV4 is 2 inches shorter overall than the outgoing model (179.9 inches) and about an inch lower (65.4 inches). One thing is growing, though little, is the width, which now sits at 72.6 inches compared to 71.5 in 2012 models. Maximum passenger capacity down 7-5 through the elimination of the third row.

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo: The new 911 Turbo will keep the same 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six cylinder engine as previous models, but it will have a new boost thanks to a complex tri-turbo setup similar to what BMW is using in the M550d xDrive and X5 M50d models, among others. The system employs one smaller turbocharger and two larger ones. The smaller spools up more quickly at lower rpms, delivering an initial power boost that carries smoothly into the second and third larger units. 

Although the horsepower ratings aren’t certain yet, the new system is expected to boost the 911 Turbo from 495 to 525 horsepower, which is quite close to the 530 hp 911 Turbo S. Porsche is currently completing testing on the tri-turbo setup inside their 991, though further details can’t be that far off given that it’s slated for the 2013 model year. See Pictures of 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo below.
