Aston Martin DB9

The Aston Martin DB9 is a GT sports coupé launched by Aston Martin in 2004.

The DB9 is the first model to be built at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility in Warwickshire, England. The moniker "DB" stems from the initials of David Brown, the owner of Aston Martin for a significant part of its history. The DB9, which was designed by Ian Callum and finished by his successor, Henrik Fisker, superseded the now-discontinued Aston Martin DB7 (also by Callum) which started production in 1994.

On the British automotive show Top Gear it is thought of highly, notably on the show's "Cool Wall" segment, where the presenters considered it to be "too cool" for the wall and it received its own category, dubbed the "DB9 Sub Zero Fridge" which was in fact a mini-refrigerator with the car's card within it.

2010 Aston Martin DBS

The new DBS is based on the DB9, more specifically the DBR9 race car. Built on the VH Platform the car shares its roof, sidescreens and wheelbase with the DB9, but sits lower (by 25 mm) and wider (by 40 mm) than the DB9. Visually, the front end is dominated by air scoops and cooling ducts which help cool the six-litre V12 engine which has reportedly been uprated to produce 510 bhp (380 kW; 517 PS), 420 lb·ft (569 N·m) of torque & a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h). At the rear are a carbon diffuser and an integrated rear lip spoiler.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

In addition to the specific packages above, all variants of the Vantage series are offered with a wide range of personalisation options, particularly in the interior where several different shades of leather – and even stitching – may be chosen to complement or contrast each other and the body (and, in the case of the convertible, the roof).

The "N400" engine modifications and/or sports chassis are also available individually for those owners who would like to combine the increased power or handling of the special edition with the more subtle original body, interior, and badging - much like the "POW" Vantages of 1980s. Many thousands of choices of colour, trim, and options combined with the in house "customisation" available through Works Service make it possible for a Vantage owner to configure a unique individual car to his or her specifications.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Mexico became the first North American country to receive the car, going on sale as a 2010 model in late 2009. Imported from South Korea, the Cruze in Mexico replaces both the Astra (last sold in 2008) and Optra as the compact offering there. The U.S. version of the Chevrolet Cruze is scheduled to enter production in the third quarter of 2010 as a 2011 model, replacing the Chevrolet Cobalt.It will be offered in LS, LT, and LTZ trim lines. Both the 1.8 litre and the turbocharged 1.4 litre engines will be offered, coupled with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Safety equipment includes electronic stability control and ten standard airbags, including side rear-seat and front knee airbags not fitted on models produced in the original South Korea facility. North American versions also feature a redesigned rear suspension setup (see above). The Cobalt's badge engineered twin, the Pontiac G5, will not be replaced by a Cruze-based equivalent, due the Pontiac brand being phased during 2010. The Cruze will be built on the production lines that were used to build the Cobalt and Pontiac G5 in Lordstown, Ohio. Cobalt production ended in June 2010 and the Cruze will start production the following July. GM has prepared three shifts to produce the Cruze. It will arrive at dealers in September 2010, giving all dealers time to deplete their inventories of Cobalts.
