The good folks at GM Inside News shared a rumor, indicating that the 2012 edition of the GMC Terrain is a couple of additional technologies, including MyLink, OnStar supplement benefits and direct competitor of Ford SYNC, Blue Link, Hyundai, and many others.

The addition of MyLink is no big surprise. If the system is started, GM announced its intention in the Volt, Chevrolet Equinox y. The use Equinox and Terrain are built on the same platform and u200b u200botras institutions that are no different screen colors, which are essentially identical.

Blind spot monitoring, collision avoidance and lane departure systems are also included.

Will these improvements be enough to overcome the established players such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4? It is too early to say that to prove especially given MyLink still, of course. However, it is a step in the right direction for the U.S. auto manufacturers.

2012 Country production was 18th July at the plant in Ingersoll Ontario begin.

Chrysler 2012 200 Convertible

Chrysler 2012 200 Convertible

Despite the best efforts of Eminem, the Chrysler 200 (formerly the Sebring) remains as a reminder, lonely, sad, bad old days when Mopar has a cold, lonely near decade of Daimler as a scapegoat, then had the marrow sucked out by the same robber barons and hedge fund managers before finally being directed by a former manager of hardware store that received 100 pence per year in compensation.


OK, the Caliber could be worse memory of the near past and evil, but at least Dodge is officially kill that. The 200, however, soldiers on. Now, off the record, we are confident a new player C / D segment will arrive at times, in 2013, probably from Italy. But the light blue 200 convertible you see here reaffirmed our feelings that is two years late.


Often, car reviews are nothing but a tale of the tape. If that were the case, numbers would like to condemn all 200 folding hardtop on its own. Even with the Pentastar great new 3.6-liter V-6, 200 Convertible reaches 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. It's not a terrible number, but consider that the engine produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb newfangled-ft of torque. For comparison, the Volkswagen Eos makes just 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, still reaches 60 mph in 6.6 seconds.


What about the quarter mile? A ho-hum 15.5 seconds to 90 mph. The real story is 28 seconds it took to go around our figure eight. That's two tenths of a second slower than a Chevrolet Traverse. How / why? Beef, and too much of it. How much meat? Are you sitting? For as the Chrysler 200 that is entirely too fat? It weighs 4,097 pounds. Indeed, more than 2 tons. Get this: The four-door hardtop-200 weighs 3587. If math is not your thang, which is 510 pounds more. What? Do they pack it with lard? That is not only heavy, it is grotesque.


We suspect that the boys Chrysler firmer bushings not added to the convertible version of the 200, and while we initially thought that they (may) change the spring rate, after driving the folding top version, certainly does not feel like it. The 200 is sloppy, wallowy, awkward - basically, if you take everything you like and want to dynamically from a vehicle and reverse it, you would be a Chrysler 200 Convertible. Which is a shame, because we know very well that Chrysler is more able to make cars that handle well. (The new 300 jumps to mind, especially the killer SRT8.) Oh, and at the top takes about 30 seconds to go up or down. That is slow.


But again, just in terms of agility and handling, driving a convertible is like driving a four-door car with a spare engine and transmission stuck in your trunk. As a result, body roll, or at least perceived body roll, is atrocious. Turn-in is super-slow, the car feels like it was falling over himself before the springs (if any) overcorrect and send the car back to the other side. It is disconcerting, and in this day and age of road worthy SUVs, inexcusable. Of course, a top of the metal increases the weight when compared with a ragtop, let's give them that. But we're talking about preparing chassis? All this? Much extra poundage that not only kills any semblance of sportiness, but the harsh ride, something that was actually improved when it passed the Chrysler Sebring and 200.


While passable u200b u200bcomo a rental car (but what is not?) The 200 convertible is not acceptable as a Chrysler. Again, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Fiat boys (and girls) are on a roll. Its products are not only sell, but they are good. More than being good, Chrysler products are advancing into the realm of special. How, being more than just transportation, their cars make you happy. The 300 and Charger, the Wrangler with the Pentastar Journey born again (no, really) and Fiat 500C with the top folded back and three friends inside. These are all great cars.


The 200 Convertible, however, is the opposite. To put it in Newspeak, is ungreat, and therefore, the Chrysler brand any favors. People who rent them will not want to buy them. People who buy the car will consider another brand when it's time for a new car. The sooner rids its stable of Chrysler 200 (and really, the GS platform that supports it), the better. The only question left is, Viking-style funeral pyre to burn the evidence, or go all Navy Seal and simply dump the corpse in the sea?

2012 Continental GT

Bentley 2012 Continental GT

WHAT'S NEW
The 2012 GT has lost 165 pounds and has a fitted front and rear lighting design. New slim line  cobra  pamper riders front seats while bathing in the goodness of their noses smell. Rear passengers get more legroom, but a friend of 6 feet had to be virtually packed in like a cannonball there. From leather-trimmed cabin, soft-touch a wide range of wood veneers, metals cool to the touch and deep pile carpets - all handmade. Everywhere you look, listen, feel and smell that rises from the mundane and the sublime.


POWER
 V-12 GT, twin turbo all-wheel drive motor is explosive, with 567 snorting, galloping horses under its hood, and  Quick Shift Technology , reduces travel time by one 50%. The process is so perfectly quiet it is as if the car has a single speed,  stop , and  WOAH.
While the GT is not confused for a R-8 or similar, the speed and stability are there when you need them and the car acts as a versatile vehicle, suitable for racing or touring grocery new spirit of the road. Shift paddles allows you to capture more energy when needed. Camshafts and four valves 48 allow the engine to breathe without effort and help generate a pair, and the car is capable of running on gasoline, E85 ethanol or any controversial mix of both - all from a single tank.
A brand new high output, 8-cylinder engine will be available by the end of this year, Bentley bosses say.


Gadgets 
10 years ago, my first test Bentley Arnage T comes with a sound system if you can call it that, apparently, from the swing era. Bentley has, fortunately, greatly increased its stake since then. An 8-inch screen shows the GT's audio system, telephone, ride and comfort parameters. The navigation system, which uses both the car a hard disk drive and a DVD player to access data on the route, with  dynamic  navigation to guide you around heavy traffic areas , and is geo-tagged photos with destinations from an SD memory card.
Your information and entertainment system offers a combination of touch screen controls and classic grooved rotary switches. A system of eight speakers is standard, using the latest  Balanced Mode Radiator , technology, and the melodies can be played and controlled from your iPod ® as well as a six-disc changer CD, SD card reader or directly to the car's hard drive that can store up to 15 GB of music.


UNIT 
Proof of the week I was in the hills, valleys, streets and roads under Windex blue sky and the black of night. This was not a long drive away, or I go LimeRock or Poconos Raceway as I have done with other Bentleys. It was a week to go where I had to go through rough and smooth roads, and the car did what a luxury car is supposed to do. I am happy, I loved it relaxed me and reminded me, in this world of increasing plastic, particle board and the stuff that falls apart shortly after purchase, that some things are still built by hand with great care and the best materials, and worth pursuing.
