Cadillac relaunches again (UK)

For the fourth time in many years, GM is relaunching the premium Cadillac brand once again in the UK. However, only one dealership, in Manchester and few service points will be offered. A London dealership is likely in 2011.

Only a duo of its line-up will be offered in right-hand-drive; the CTS sedan and CTS sports wagon. Cadillac won’t be committing heavily to the European market as Infiniti. The CTS-V saloon, coupé and sports wagon will be available in left-hand drive only, alongside the SRX and Escalade large SUV’s.

Cadillac did plan to build right-hand-drive models but were abandoned when GM went broke, along with a diesel engine.

To add insult to injury (diesel engines are hugely important in the EU market), high list prices will be attached to each and every Cadillac. The rear-wheel-drive CTS is expected to start at an eye-watering £40,897 for the entry-level 3.0 litre 276bhp petrol engine. The 3.6 litre 311bhp will be offered alongside AWD. The SRX large crossover will be priced at £45,707 and this comes with a 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine that spews out 279g/km of CO2. The large Escalade SUV is likely to start from £60,000, before topping out at £71,489 for the Escalade Hybrid.

GM anticipates selling around 2,500 Cadillacs across Europe through 40 dealers, according to Wolfgang Schubert, Cadillac CEO. He refused to guess how many would be in the UK.

Renault revamps Espace for 2011 (UK)

Renault has released its revised Espace large MPV, incorporating a number of minor changes.

Externally, the reworked Espace gains LED day-time running lights, and gloss black exterior trim. A new body-colour, Pearl Blue is also offered optionally.

Under the bonnet, the 2.0 dCi diesel engine is available in two tunes; 150bhp and 175bhp, with the latter linked to a 6 speed automatic transmission, and now offers low CO2 emissions and better fuel economy. The 150bhp has had its emissions reduced by 18g to 170g/km and fuel economy bettered to 43.5mpg combined. The 175bhp variant emits 189g/km and returns 39.2mpg. All engines are now Euro5 complaint.

On the options list are adaptive bi-xenon headlights at £650, opening tail-gate window for £320, electric panoramic glass sunroof at £1,300 and duo 16.9” rear-seat DVD system for £1,500. A Initiale Lux Pack is obtainable on the range-topping Grand Espace Dynamique 2.0 dCi 175 Auto FAP for £3,500 and contains multi-functional TunePoint, Carminat TomTom w/Western Europe mapping, metallic paint, front parking sensors and full leather upholstery.

2006 Renault Grand Espace
Prices for both the Espace and Grand Espace start from £24,495, rising to £28,495, offering savings of up to £3,005 compared with the former range. The cost to upgrade from Espace to Grand Espace is £1,500.

Order books are from 8th November, before arriving in showrooms in January 2011.

2012 Nissan Sport Cars GT-R (Japan Specs) Set For North American

The 2012 Nissan GT-R version of its flagship GT-R sports cars. This is designed to be one of the best models in automobile industry. Accordingly, the manufacturer has modified the front end along with strengthening the dashboard support area and the forward suspension. The GTR is said to be 3% more efficient than the earlier models. Yesterday, Nissan Motors offered up the full information on the Japanese version of the 2011 Nissan GT-R. Already one of the fastest cars in the world, the Nissan sports cars coupe receives a variety of improvements for 2011 (at least in the Japanese market) to help distance itself from the competition.
There are only subtle refinements made to the exterior of the latest Nissan GT-R supercar and while these changes might be hard to notice in traffic, the physical upgrades to the 2011 model year GT-R offer a 10% improvement in downforce and a decrease in drag. There is also a slightly refined interior with a new instrument panel and carbon fiber trim here and there but the big news is what is under the hood.
2012 Nissan Sport Cars GT-R (Japan Specs) Set For North American
For 2012, Nissan GT-R features improved engine output and torque, greater fuel efficiency, revised handling, a refreshed exterior with improved aerodynamics, revised interior treatment and new wheels and tires. The large number of enhancements for the new model year is part of the continuous advancement of the GT-R design, technology and performance since its debut.
Developed under the theme of offering the "world's best multi-performance and responsive driving pleasure," every area of the Nissan GT-R has been carefully rethought or retuned for 2012. The changes range from greater body stability and strength and improved aerodynamics performance to a sportier interior and enhanced performance.
The latest version of the potent Nissan GT-R goes on sale at select Nissan dealers in the United States and Canada early in the 2011 calendar year. Full details on the North American version of the Nissan GT-R will be available at the Los Angeles show in November.
Though exact specifications have yet to be released for the U.S. cars, horsepower and torque figures have been revealed for Japan market cars.  The updated 2012 Nissan Sport Cars GT-R (Japan Specs) Set For North American will be powered by the same twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 offered in the current GT-R. However, the turbo's boost pressure has been increased, the intake and exhaust systems have been opened up to permit freer breathing, and the ECU has been tweaked to take advantage of these changes.

The 2012 in the US market Nissan GT-R is powered by the same twin turbocharged 3.8L V6 that was offered in the current GT-R, an enlarged charge air intake pipe and an enlarged exhaust system combined with a recalibration of the car’s ECU, the 2011 GT-R will offer 523 horsepower and 451lb-ft of torque. This is a fair improvement over the output of the current models 485hp/434tq and this extra power could help the mighty GT-R move up the list of the fastest cars in the world (based on testing done at the famed Nürburgring in Germany). The 2011 Nissan GT-R will be the 2012 Nissan GT-R when it hits US shores next year.
