The much lauded Nissan GT-R has been out long enough to be pitted against what many consider to be its main arch rival, the Porsche 911 Turbo, by nearly every auto rag. Now Webrides.tv has come out with a video comparison between GT-R and Ford's late, great GT supercar. Both vehicles are owned by none other than Kazunori Yamauchi, the man behind the Gran Turismo series of driving sims. We won't tell you who won, but its obvious the competition must have been rough. Watch the video below.

Nissan GT-R vs Ford GT : On Track Comparison Video
Ford's 2009 Lincoln MKS Review Video
The MKS is Lincoln's new midsize-to-large flagship sedan. The production MKS will offer a larger 3.7L version of the Cyclone V6 also used in the Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKX. A twin turbocharged EcoBoost version of this engine with direct injection will be available in the MKS less than one year after launch, although a firm date has not been set. The MKS uses a FWD platform, but will offer all wheel drive as an option.
The MKS is the first application for many new Ford technologies, including a new starting system where the driver only has to have the key with them to be able to unlock the vehicle and start the car. Also new to the MKS is Ford's adaptive cruise control, which uses radar to monitor up to 600 feet ahead of the vehicle and apply the brakes automatically for minor speed adjustments. The MKS will feature SYNC, Ford's new voice responsive communication system, and Ford's capless fuel filler, which makes refueling more convenient and ensures a tighter seal of the gas tank to help reduce escaped fuel vapors.
The MKS also will offer rain-sensing windshield wipers, a rearview camera system, front and rear park assist, and a THX sound system with full 5.1 surround sound. The MKS will start at $37,655 for the FWD model, and $39,555 for the AWD model.

Tata Nano Being Tested On Road: Spy Video
The buzz about the upcoming $2500 Nano hatchback had kind of died down after its debut at the Delhi and Geneva Auto Show. The focus had shifted to the Indian carmaker Tata Motors takeover of Jaguar and Land Rover. But now the worlds cheapest car, Tata Nano is back in news with its spy video being uploaded on Youtube.
This is the first time that Nano has been caught on video. Till now nobody had seen any spy photo or video of this cute little hatch due to the high level of secrecy that Tata had mainted about its pet project. The video below shows the base model (black bumper) of Nano being tested on the old Bombay Pune Highway in India without any camo whatsoever.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Concept Teaser Video
BMW is gearing up for the online unveiling of its latest design study, the GINA Light Visionary Model. Unlike the BMW M1 Homage concept, this one's actually a runner, as evidenced by the video posted below the fold, showing the concept being driven from the studio into a car carrier then unloaded at the BMW Museum in Munich.
The general proportions and layout of the car are similar to that of the M1 Homage concept shown earlier this year, but the removable targa-style top and rear shelf area are definitely different. You can just see the edges of the new concept in the footage, as well as a Knight Rider-esque lightbar in the tail.

Video: BMW Shoot Out - Dinan 335i vs. Stock M3
The Bavarian brothers from the house of BMW battle to claim supremacy in "Sibling Rivalry." Watch as Craig Stanton pushes each car to their limits as we find out which prevails - stock or not.
Just for your info, the test b/w Stage III Dinan 335i and the stock E92 M3 took place at Willow Springs Raceway.
The BMW 335i comes with a tweaked ECU, twin-turbo'd 3.0-liter inline-six. Dinan announced its Stage 3 package which includes a fully-adjustable suspension and a handful of engine mods that bring output up to 406 hp and a 460 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,300 RPM. This gives Dinan 335i an advantage of better torque and low curb-weight but you just can't ignore the power of M3.
To upgrade the Bimmer to Dinan Stage 3 specs cost about $14,000. Compare this to $56,500 for new M3 and you solve the puzzle. But if you don't like puzzles then just forget everything and enjoy the video.

Volkswagen's First Compact SUV: The New 2008 Model Tiguan
The 103kW 2.0TDI and 125kW TSI are delivered with six-speed manual transmissions as standard equipment. As an option, the Tiguan may be ordered with a six-speed tiptronic automatic, which is standard in the 147kW TSI model. The manual transmission can be driven at an engine speed of 1,000 rpm or vehicle speed of just 6.69 km/h, for example; this practically equals the crawler gear of a reduction gearbox. The automatic transmission has gear level pre-select; in off-road use, it prevents shifting to the next higher gear.
Some of the features of the Tiguan with 147kw TSI engine are: 17-inch "Boston" alloy wheels with size 235/55R17 tyres, chrome roof rails, tinted windows starting at the B-pillars (up to 65 percent light absorbing), sport seats with height-adjustable lumbar supports, folding front passenger seat, storage drawers under the front seats, folding table and storage pockets on the rear of the front seats and sports seats in upgraded cloth with Alcantara appliqués, and low tyre pressure indicator.
In the following videos the European model of VW Tiguan (manual) has been used for the review purpose. The same model has been launched in Australia with slightly different tuning.

Test Drive of 2009 Korean-Spec Hyundai Genesis Sedan: Video
In this seven-minute drive-along video, the reviewer takes out a 3.3-liter V-6 version of the Genesis for a run through some mountain roads and highways, and finds the car largely lacking. While we feel compelled to mention that the car being driven is different than what we’ll have available in the U.S., it would be fair to say that this review lowers expectations just a tad.
2009 Hyundai Genesis test drive by Korean video car media Autojoins. The first video is about Genesis driving performance and second is about how it looks.
