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.

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.
