The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.

 The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.

 The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque. The full list of winners is below, along with press releases from the organization and the manufacturers. Congratulations to Mazda on the win.

Mercedes-Benz W114 W115 Minika

http://best-car-ever.blogspot.com/2011/05/1969-corvette-sting-ray.html

The Mercedes-Benz W114 and W115 models are a series of coupes and sedans introduced in 1968 by Mercedes-Benz, manufactured through model year 1976, and distinguished in the marketplace by nameplates designating their engines.

W114 models featured six-cylinder engines and were marketed as the 230, 250, and 280, while W115 models featured four-cylinder engines and were marketed as the 200, 220, 230, and 240.

All were styled by Paul Bracq, featuring a three-box design. At the time, Mercedes marketed sedans in two size classes, with the W114/W115, positioned below the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Beginning in 1968, Mercedes marketed their model range as New Generation Models,[2] giving their ID plates the designation '/8' (due to their 1968 Launch year). Because they were the only truly new cars of the so-called 'New Generation' and because of the '/8' or 'slash eight' designation, W114 and W115 models ultimately received the German nickname Strich Acht, loosely translated into the English Slash Eight.

Mit W 114 und W 115 bezeichnet Daimler-Benz die Baureihen, die heute meist als /8 („Strich-Acht“) bezeichnet werden. Diese Bezeichnung entstammt dem Erscheinungsjahr 1968. Der /8 erreichte mit knapp zwei Millionen annähernd die gleiche Stückzahl wie alle Nachkriegs-PKW der Marke Mercedes (von 1945 bis 1968) vor ihm zusammen. 

Außerdem ist der /8 bis 2011 neben seinem Nachfolger der einzige PKW, der den VW Käfer beziehungsweise den VW Golf in der deutschen Neuzulassungsstatistik vom ersten Platz stoßen konnte: So war der /8 1974 mit 140.127 Einheiten das meistverkaufte Fahrzeug auf dem deutschen Markt.[1] Die W 114/W 115 wurden bis 1976 gebaut und von der Baureihe 123 abgelöst. Mittlerweile ist der /8-er ein beliebter Oldtimer.

W114 e W115 sono le sigle progettuali di un'autovettura prodotta dalla tedesca Mercedes-Benz tra il 1968 ed il 1976. Venne soprannominata "/8" ("Strichacht", in italiano "barraotto") per identificare l'ultima cifra dell'anno di nascita.

1985-1992 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

When the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro (and its Pontiac brother the Firebird) was introduced as a 1982 model, it was an underwhelming machine. Sure it looked good and didn't handle badly, but the engines were lackluster hacks off older designs. The base Camaro's 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four was rated at only 90 hp. The best V8 in the line, a 5.0-liter small-block, had a freakish Cross-Fire fuel-injection system and made a miserable 165 hp. Grim stuff.

The 1985 IROC-Z may have looked like any other third-generation Camaro, but it was a much sweeter and more powerful beast. Redecorated with clean graphics, fitted with gorgeous five-spoke 16-inch wheels and tuned around massive Goodyear "Gatorback" radial tires, the IROC-Z would have been a hit even if it had that lousy four under its hood. But instead there was the 5.0-liter small-block V8 now wearing a brilliant tuned port injection (TPI) system that boosted its output up to a wonderfully flexible 215 hp. By 1987, a TPI-equipped 5.7-liter small-block was offered in the IROC and the car simply got a lot better.

In comparison tests at the time, the TPI-equipped IROC Camaros were always quicker than their archrival, the 5.0-liter Mustang. They handled better too. But while the Mustang has become a legend ­with its dedicated cult of followers choosing among dozens of dedicated magazine titles and hundreds of websites, the IROC Camaro has become something of a punchline. It's the car guys from New Jersey drive, in jokes about guys from New Jersey. It's not fair.

The third-generation Chevrolet Camaro was introduced for the 1982 model year. It continued to use General Motors's F-body platform and would produce a "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition" for 1987 and "25th Anniversary Heritage Edition" for 1992.
These were also the first Camaros with factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmissions, five-speed manual transmissions, four-cylinder engines, 16-inch wheels, and hatchback bodies. The third-generation Camaro continued through the 1992 model year.

Ang third-generation Chevrolet Camaro ay ipinakilala para sa 1982 modelo ng taon. Ito ay patuloy na gamitin ang General Motors sa F-katawan platform at makabuo ng isang "ika-20 Anibersaryo ng pangunita Edition" para sa 1987 at "Ika-25 Anibersaryo ng Heritage Edition" para sa 1992.

GMC Acadia

The 2012 GMC Acadia ranks 10 out of 23 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 73 published reviews and test drives of the GMC Acadia, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. Reviewers praise the 2012 GMC Acadia for its competent performance, spacious interior, roomy third row and aggressive looks.

Still, buyers looking for a three-row SUV at a bargain-basement price will want to look elsewhere. Reviewers say that overall, the GMC Acadia is a great vehicle for families who need a lot of space but can’t bring themselves to buy a minivan. Though its starting price is more than others in its class, reviewers say the Acadia is worth the extra money. The Acadia has more interior space than some larger, truck-based SUVs, along with better fuel economy, a more comfortable drive and an attractive, aggressive exterior. Critics do have a few bones to pick with the Acadia. Some test drivers take issue with the Acadia’s six-speed automatic transmission.

 The transmission’s gears help the engine get better gas mileage than many competitors, but this also makes it more difficult to harness the V6 engine’s 288 horsepower when you need to get up a hill or merge onto the highway. Still, reviewers encourage shoppers in the market for a three-row SUV to take a long, hard look at the GMC Acadia. "One of the best of these modern family haulers is the 2012 GMC Acadia, a large crossover that boasts a refined ride and an enormous cabin that can fit up to eight adults,” writes Edmunds.

 Acadia est un véhicule idéal pour les familles qui ont besoin de beaucoup d'espace, mais ne peut se résoudre à acheter une fourgonnette. Bien que son prix de départ est plus que d'autres dans sa classe, les examinateurs dire l'Acadie vaut de l'argent supplémentaire. L'Acadia a plus d'espace intérieur que certaines grandes camion, à base de VUS, avec une meilleure économie de carburant, une conduite plus confortable et une jolie extérieur agressif.

Acadia большой автомобиль для семей, которые нуждаются в большом количестве пространства, но не могут заставить себя купить микроавтобус. Хотя его стартовая цена составляет больше, чем другие в своем классе, рецензенты говорят Acadia стоит дополнительных денег.Acadia имеет больше внутреннего пространства, чем некоторые большие, основанный на грузовике внедорожники, вместе с лучшей экономией топлива, более удобный диск и привлекательной, агрессивный внешний вид.

Acadia es un vehículo ideal para las familias que necesitan una gran cantidad de espacio, pero no pueden llevar a comprar una minivan. A pesar de su precio de salida es más que otros de su clase, los revisores dicen que la Acadia vale la pena el dinero extra. El Acadia tiene más espacio interior que algunos más grandes, SUV basadas en camionetas, junto con el ahorro de combustible, una conducción más confortable y un exterior atractivo y agresivo. 

Top 10 Best American Cars for 2012

1. Cadillac CTS Total Car Score: 86.49
A superb Total Car Score for the 2012 Cadillac CTS shows just how appealing this American entry luxury car is. Another telling illustration is when reviewers compare it favorably to European rivals, who used to have this segment sewn up.
2. Buick LaCrosse Total Car Score: 85.01
The 2012 Buick Lacrosse has the highest Total Car Scores in the Large Sedan Category. It is the car charged with taking the brand’s old school image in a more youthful direction. Reviewers praised the Lacrosse for its quiet ride, responsive handling, strong V6 engine and available all-wheel-drive.
3. Chevrolet Traverse Total Car Score: 84.87
The Traverse's most obvious attraction is its sizable eight-passenger interior, which features an uncommonly adult-friendly third-row seat. Less obvious but no less important is the relatively smooth ride and nimble handling that puts old school truck-based SUVs to shame.
4. Ford Flex Total Car Score: 84.44
Though its distinctive looks may not appeal to everyone, it's hard to argue with the top-flight Total Car Score racked up by the 2012 Ford Flex. The long list of positives cited by reviewers starts with the Flex's roomy, comfortable interior and excellent crash test ratings.
5. GMC Acadia Total Car Score: 84.18
Located in the sweet spot between traditional truck-based SUVs and minivans, the 2012 GMC Acadia has received enough positive reviews to earn itself a high Total Car Score in the very competitive Large SUV & Crossover segment.
6. Cadillac CTS-V Total Car Score: 83.65
7. Chrysler 300 Total Car Score: 83.29
8. Ford Taurus SHO Total Car Score: 83.22
9. Cadillac SRX Total Car Score: 83.01
10. Chrysler 300 SRT-8 Total Car Score: 82.59

The Lancia Thesis is an executive car produced by Italian automaker Lancia between 2002 and 2009. It was available with naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines ranging between 2.0 and 3.2 litres, in both straight-5 or V6 configurations. Its appearance was based on the 1999 Lancia Dialogos prototype. The production car premiered at the Geneva Motorshow in March 2001 and its interior was displayed for first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Its launch was delayed by the need to solve electronics and reliability problems.[citation needed] Sales started in June 2002 in Italy, with export markets following shortly after.

Concerning the design, Lancia´s chief designer said "People will be looking for excuses not to buy this car. So, we wanted to be damn sure we didn´t give them anything to hook onto." To that end the car was intended to match the substance of the Audi A6 and Mercedes E-class. It was fitted with more technology and "more style". To convince buyers it was also priced to be 15% cheaper than the competition. In the view of motoring writer Paul Horrell of UK´s CAR magazine the shape was "controversial, but certainly regenerates an authentic Italian alternative to the po-faced approach" of the competition. "Look at that extravagant front end, like a row of chrome-decorated sand dunes. The whole form is plump and carries telling details of bi-xenon headlights and multi-LED blades of tail-lamp - a comfortably fed and well-jewelled car like the folk who´ll drive it." Discussing the interior, Horrell went on to say: "The effect is redoubled within. The cabin is truly rich, and walks the right side of that line in Italian style dividing the perfectly proportioned minimalism from their bling-bling rap-star Versace vulgarity." A notable feature of the interior was the use of high quality, lightly varnished wood trim and cast magnesium for the centre console."I can´t tell you," wrote Horrell "how much more satisfying it is to use a cupholder or ashtray that glides out of solid metal than some clacky plastic lid." After describing the engraved glassware of the instruments which were notable for their needles "floating at depth" CAR concluded that "it felt expensive."

Lancia invested heavily in the Thesis and, unlike the predecessor the Kappa which shared a platform with the Alfa Romeo 166, the Thesis was designed with its own chassis.[9]. The car was fitted with a "complicated multi-arm aluminium-intensive suspension at both ends, augmented by 'Skyhook' adaptive dampers" which were also used on the Maserati Spyder .

Describing the driving quality, Horrell wrote: "You can tell it´s a heavy car, but there´s no distress in letting this [test car with the V6 engine]build up a gentle sweat. Its autobox is attentive and smooth. The engine, though quieter than in any Alfa, is all you hear because road and wind noise have been quashed. Ditto rattles. This is a tight ship.". "The Thesis´ ride is just terrific. It swallows big lumps, whatever your speed. Yet there´s no heaving in distress; the adjustable dampers keep body motion in check. They´re even better when the stress is lateral; considering the pillowy straight-line character, cornering roll is amazingly well-controlled.". The main criticism was the steering which was considered by Horrell to be too light, and the slight tendency to understeer leading to intrusion of the ESP system. In conclusion, CAR´s Horrell summed up the Thesis as being "far more accurate and even agile than it has any right to be." CAR´s view was that the Thesis was a dignified expression of Lancia´s brand values, then. "Imagine a Rover 95 and you would be spookily close. It´s a scary thought: two brands that refuse to be youthful or sporty, two brands that have underperformed."

The Thesis is equipped with 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic "Comfortronic" (not for 2.0) gearboxes. The interior was trimmed with leather or the suede-like Alcantara material long favoured by Lancia. CAR´s verdict was that "If Lancia can be turned around this is the car for the job." Despite its very comprehensive equipment level and the improved fit and finish, sales remained well behind its predecessor, the Kappa, quite far behind the competition and finally the model was discontinued at the beginning of 2009, after only 16,000 units built. A new flagship sedan, based on the next-generation Chrysler 300, will replace the recently discontinued Thesis.
