The new model made its debut at the ongoing 2011 New York Auto Show.

An article over at autoblog by Steven J. Ewing is reporting that the latest version of the Taurus has a more aggressive look to it. This is for the base Taurus and also the high-end SHO. Ford has even admitted that they used Audi’s A6 as a benchmark when designing the new model.

In the non SHO Taurus you will find the new 2.0liter EcoBoost inline-four, which is reported to be capable of 31 miles per gallon on the freeway. You also will have the choice of the 3.5-liter V6 which is now capable of producing 290hp.

The power plant in the SHO has been left untouched, so the EcoBoost V6 still produces 365 hp with 350ps of torque. Ford has tinkered with the brakes though and put in a bigger master cylinder, which is claimed will improve the feel and response.

The 2013 Ford Taurus is expected to hit showrooms during the first half of next year. Use the link above to see more images of the 2013 Taurus.

The 2012 model will be launched in the US, and has the highest fuel-economy rating of any all wheel drive car sold in the country.

InsideLine are reporting that the new Impreza will be powered by a new generation four cylinder boxer engine, which can help the car achieve 36 mpg on the highway. The company hasn’t released many other details about the new model, except that it will have a more spacious interior with enhanced levels of comfort and refinement.

The2012 Impreza is due to be released later in the year in the US and will be offered in 2.0 and 2.5 liter versions. Output from the 2.0 liter plant will still push out the same 146 horsepower of the old model, but torque goes up to 145ft.

Extra room inside the Impreza will be a welcome feature as the current model has been criticized for not having much room for rear passengers. No prices have been revealed yet but the current model sells at $18,220 for the four door, and $18,720 for the five door.

As we said in our post on the refreshed R-Class, Mercedes has revised its corporate image with restyled front ends, and this new E-Class Wagon joins in the change with its sedan and coupe variants.

Not only has the front changed but also the rear benefits from some new styling, and it doesn’t end there. In the cargo area you can fold out a rear facing bench seat for the kids although this was an optional extra on the previous model, the U.S. car market doesn’t offer this from any other manufacturer.

With the E350 4Matic Wagon currently being the only choice of power plant there is always the hope that an E63 AMG Wagon might be available at some point. Check out the link for the full press release from Mercedes-Benz and more pictures.
