2013 Dodge Ram 1500

2013 Dodge Ram 1500: 2013 Ram surrounds fuel economy and includes some major powertrain revisions and additional tech. At the low end, Chrysler’s Pentastar V-6 now handles base-engine duties for the 1500 SLT. (The ancient, 310-hp 4.7-liter SOHC V-8 is the base engine for the entry-level 1500 Tradesman; the V-6 is available as an option.) Compared with last year’s 215-hp, 3.7-liter lump of a V-6, the new engine makes 90 more hp and 34 additional lb-ft of torque for new totals of 305 and 269.

The Pentastar comes mated exclusively to an equally new, ZF-designed eight-speed automatic transmission Ram has dubbed with some historical pomp the “TorqueFlite 8.” The 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 carries over for 2013, but nets an additional five hp for a new total of 395. Both V-8s hook up to a standard six-speed automatic, but the Hemi will receive a version of the eight-speed as an option sometime early next year.

2014 Toyota Tundra

2014 Toyota Tundra: Toyota as announced that a 'redesigned' version of the Toyota Tundra will be breaking cover at February's Chicago Auto Show.  We put 'redesigned' in quotations because it's currently unclear as to whether the 2014 Toyota Tundra will debut an all-new design, or whether it will simply be a refresh of what the full-size pickup truck currently brings to the table.

Toyota needs to push back hard against its domestic competitors with the Tundra, which was introduced in its current form all the way back in 2007 and which has received very few substantial upgrades in the ensuing five year period between now and then.  Meanwhile, Ford, General Motors, and Ram have each brought out completely re-vamped pickups that have relegated the competent, but no longer cutting edge Toyota Tundra to also-ran status in its segment.

2013 Chrysler SRT Viper

2013 Chrysler SRT Viper: The Viper was the 2013 New York Auto Show this week is the fifth generation of the legendary two-seater, which was first sold as the Dodge Viper in 1992. More importantly, this is the first time since the production of high-Chrysler Viper sports car in 2010. At that time the company is in bankruptcy against and should concentrate on improving the high-volume products such as bread and butter sedan Sebring and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The original 2013 Chrysler SRT Viper was one of the first vehicle with a V-10. The 8.4-liter V-10 is back, although this version is about 25 pounds lighter than before, thanks to new materials. Chrysler is hoping for 640 hp and 600 Nm of torque to get. In comparison, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 638 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque from its V-8.

2013 Dodge Dart

2013 Dodge Dart: The lightest Dart Dodge sells is still a heifer at nearly 3,200 pounds. The Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra weigh a shade over 2,600 lbs, the Toyota Corolla and Mazda3 come in near 2,800 lbs, the Ford Focus is 2,960 lbs and the Chevy Cruze, once considered the porker of the segment, tips the scales at a bit under 3,100 pounds. Put another way, the Dart, without a single passenger, weighs as much as a Honda Civic with four 150-pound occupants.

Three engine options are available (or at least will be available once the delayed R/T model hits dealerships), including a standard 2.0-liter naturally aspirated mill, a 1.4-liter turbocharged and intercooled unit that leads the pack in efficiency and a 2.4-liter with 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque for those looking for the most powerful option. We drove a Dart with the standard 2.0-liter engine mated to a six-speed automatic for a week, then sampled the 1.4-liter turbo with a six-speed manual. Both engines move the Dart with competence through traffic.

2013 BMW X5 M50d

2013 BMW X5 M50d: Exclusive exterior and interior design features for the two BMW M Performance Automobiles based on the BMW X models provide clear visual differentiation, optimised aerodynamic balance and enhanced driving pleasure. Its powerful presence and distinctively three-dimensional contours make the body-coloured front apron a genuinely eye-catching item.

To optimise the supply of cooling air to the power unit, the spaces normally reserved for foglamps on regular BMW X models take on a new role as air intakes, and these large surfaces offer a tantalising hint of the engine power lurking behind the scenes. Horizontal bars in the colour shade Ferric Grey metallic course across their surface.
