Mercedes-Benz G-Class BA3 Final Edition and Edition Select


I’m a sucker for nice whips.¬† Props to the beast.

Mercedes-Benz is welcoming spring with two new, luxuriously equipped special G-Class models. Among other enhancements, an extensive stainless steel package and mounted AMG features ensure a visually striking appearance for the “BA3 Final Edition” based on the short-wheelbase Station Wagon and the “Edition Select” with a long wheelbase. In the interior a Chrome package and many more comfort-enhancing extras dominate the ambience of this classic, which has continued to enjoy the affection of off-roader fans worldwide for no less than 32 years. A classic off-roader is entering its final phase: as the model designation suggests, Mercedes-Benz is producing the last edition of the short wheelbase Station Wagon in the successful G-Class with the special “BA3 Final Edition” model. Two variants will be available: in the G 350 BlueTEC a 6-cylinder diesel engine with the very latest BlueTEC emissions control, 155 kW (211 hp) and 540 newton metres for great pulling power both on and off the road. In the G 500 a powerful 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine with 285 kW (388 hp) and 530 newton metres effortlessly performs the same function.

Audi Q3


Very Nice.  Good look from the beast.

Although it was originally expected to make its premiere at the 2011 Shanghai Motor Show, the Audi Q3 has been officially unveiled a couple weeks early. The new crossover vehicle features a steeply sloping rear hatch that provides 16.24 cubic feet of storage capacity with the seats in place (storage space increases to 48.2 cubic feet with the seats folded down), adaptive light technology, electronic parking assistance, and Audi’s hard drive-based MMI infotainment and navigation system. In addition to the highfalutin luxury fixings and trims, the Q3 also features some seriously impressive goods underneath the hood, with the option of choosing between two gasoline and one diesel engine (all with direct injection) that boast anywhere from 140 to 211 horsepower. Expected to arrive on the European market around June, the 2012 Audi Q3 is set at a base price of €29,900 (approximately $43,000 USD).
