| Mercedes’ CL replacement, the S-Class Coupe spied Posted: 24 Jun 2009 04:25 PM PDT  It looks like Mercedes will continue changing it’s coupe lineup, because after the CLK was replaced with the E Class Coupe, now we have a fresh set of spy photos of the upcoming S Class Coupe, which will replace the current CL. The car was spied during testing in Germany and even though there is some camouflage covering it, we can get a pretty good idea of what the new S Coupe will be like. It doesn’t look like there will be some major changes like in the E Coupe, but we do see a redesigned front part with restyled bumper, updated grille and LED daytime running lights. The redesign is even less obvious at the rear, where the only thing we notice is a slightly restyled rear bumper. As for the mechanical part, there’s not much known about the car, but rumor has it that the engine lineup of the CL will be kept, the only new possible addition being an S Coupe 400 Hybrid, powered by a hybrid powertrain with a 279 hp 3.5-liter V6 and a 20 hp electric motor. Stay tuned because we’ll definitely keep you updated on this. Meanwhile, you can check out more spy photos on Worldcarfans.

| Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen opens Posted: 24 Jun 2009 04:02 PM PDT  Yesterday I got invited by LG to a special premiere for bloggers of the new Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen movie. Though I wasn’t expecting it, the first movie was surprisingly entertaining so I had quite high expectations from this one too. And though the overall impression was that the movie could’ve been better (maybe because of the problems they faced), I really liked it. I mean we have cool cars (my heart started beating faster every time I saw the Camaro, it’s just an amazing car), we have Megan Fox, we have robots beating the shit out of each other and we have some great special effects. What more can you ask from a movie. It’s not Oscar material, but it’s really, really entertaining. Comparing it to the first one, the movie’s producers brought in several new funny robots, like the AutoboTwins Skids (Chevrolet Beat) and Mudflap (Chevrolet Trax) or Wheelie (a really funny toy car). Also, at the beginning of the movie there’s a Decepticon (for those of you who don’t know, these are the bad guys) which is an Audi R8 which is being cut in half by one of the Autobots. Like someone in the theatre said, it’s pretty ironic that the GMs always wins, but the company’s bankrupt. Anyway, the conclusion is that if you feel like going to a movie that has some cool cars, great special effects and the smokin’ hot Megan Fox, you might really enjoy Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. If you haven’t seen it, you have the trailer after the jump. Post published on Rpmgo.com Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen opens Related posts:

| Two seater Opel Astra convertible coming soon Posted: 24 Jun 2009 03:30 PM PDT  According to Auto Express, Opel is currently working on a convertible version of the recently introduced Opel/Vauxhall Astra. However, unlike the current Astra TwinTop, the new cabrio will be more than an Astra without a roof. Actually less, because the car will have only two seats and Opel wants it to compete cars like the upcoming VW BlueSport or the Scirocco CC and also to be a cheaper alternative for the Mercedes Benz SLK or the Audi TT Roadster. And judging by what we see in these photos, Opel has all the chances of achieving that. Because the car is simply beautiful, having a more aggressive look than the regular Astra with a more muscular silhouette, lowered side skirts, twin chrome exhaust pipes and a large brake light at the rear. The Astra roadster will have a folding metal roof and the interior will basically be a more sporty version of the Astra’s interior, including sports seats and a sporty steering wheel. Under the hood, Opel will offer the roadster with a 150 hp 1.4-liter petrol engine, a 170 hp 2.0-liter CDTI turbodiesel, while the top of the range will be the turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol unit delivering 270 hp (0-60 in 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph). We have no idea what will be Astra roadster’s starting price tag, but we’ll probably find out closer to its debut, which is rumored to take place in 2011. Check out one more photo after the jump.

| Audi A5 Sportback scooped without camo during photo shoot in California Posted: 24 Jun 2009 03:14 PM PDT  And the mistery’s over. Audi has been trying to hide the new Audi A5 Sportback from everyone’s eyes for some time. But in our days that’s proving to be a really, really difficult task for carmakers to hide their upcoming cars from us. Because here’s the Audi A5 Sportback, photographed by a student from the University of California, San Diego, where the car was brought by the folks from Audi for a photo shoot. The car’s completely undisguised and from what we can see, it’s one amazing vehicle. The silhouette, which kinda reminds me of the Jaguar XF, shows that the A4 and A5’s offspring turned out to be a great car. Check out one more photo after the jump.
