New Cars That Are Worth Waiting For




SEPTEMBER: 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8



 500 hp from its new 6.4-liter Hemi V8, we're at least certain that the SRT is actually coming, and likely to arrive late this summer. If it's anything like the already deeply impressive Grand, the SRT8 is going to be both refined and scary fast, with a predicted eight-speed transmission and at a price (roughly $45,000) that deeply undercuts the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and other performance crossovers







2015 Mini Van

If you’re a fan of the Mini Cooper but need something in XXL, this could be the car for you. This illustration portrays a van variant of the Mini—Mini Van, get it?—which sources claim could go on sale by 2015 (if not sooner). Having finally delivered on its promise of a smaller Mini, courtesy of the 2-passenger Coupe and Roadster, it appears the brand is moving back to a “bigger is better” mantra.

The current 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, in normally aspirated and turbocharged forms, is guaranteed to find its way into the engine bay. A choice of 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions is also a safe bet. The more upright body should provide ample head room and a significant boost to cargo capacity. Mini might opt to fit sliding rear seats, like those found in the Countryman, for added utility.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander crossover to debut at Geneva Motor Show?



Mitsubishi has released an image, which surprisingly looks very identical to PX-MiEV electric crossover concept, which this Japanese auto giant unveiled a couple of months ago at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. The image released a few weeks before the eminent 2012 Geneva Motor Show means that the company might be planning to launch the car at the Geneva Motor Show with all pomp and show. If we look at the image logically, this might be the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover, which is a car that carves-up ample of design DNA from the PX-MiEV electric crossover concept.

The new 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Crossover is apparently a hybrid version, the company of late had been banking on the hybrid technology to surge its fortunes that were tripping down constantly since a past few years with numerous products that failed to be sold in the market as Mitsubishi had aimed for. The hybrid technology and electric car are considered amongst the biggest plans that the firm is putting together for future as rumors suggest that the well-known Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution-X’s successor might be back in diesel hybrid variant, which sounds exciting and interesting.
