New Car Prices and Reviews

Following in the footsteps of Techart, Germany's Cargraphic is the latest company to tune into the new diesel-powered Porsche Cayenne model by releasing a batch of performance and cosmetic enhancements. For a price of €1,184 or about $1,650 US, the tuner will upgrade the 3.0-liter V6 diesel's electronic control unit lifting output from 240HP and 550Nm to a hefty 290HP and 630Nm or 465 lb-ft. Coincidently (or not...), those are the same output figures achieved by Techart's engine kit.

The crew over at the Arabic website Assayyarat dropped these photos of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata in our mail this morning. The prototype model that was captured in Dubai had its front- and rear-end covered in plastic wrapping but we do get a general idea of what the mid-size sedan will look like when it hits showrooms in early 2010. And judging by the raked roofline and the 'stubby' boot design (first-gen Audi A6 ring a bell?), Hyundai is going for a more than welcome 'four-door' coupe look.
