Chronicling the Ever-Changing Automotive Industry
Just this week, in Toledo, Ohio, Jeep began building the 2011 version of its iconic Wrangler 4×4 SUV. With a pretty much all-new interior, new exterior colors, and a more refined appearance all around, the new Wrangler should be even more popular with the off-road crowd, that is, if Jeep got it right.

According to the 2012 Boss 302 minisite, the iconic nameplate will be returning “Spring 2011.” If Ford has timed the 2012 Mustang to show up at the same time as it did for the 2011 model, then late March to early April will be when the Boss 302 shows up as well. More pictures follow, after the jump.

As Infiniti’s “entry-level” car, the G37 and its predecessor the G35, have been pretty popular, and have shown Infiniti’s real mission: a sportier Lexus. Branched off of the Nissan brand, Infiniti has traditionally given Nissan’s vehicles nicer interiors and better accoutrements, while keeping the sporty, fun-to-drive feeling alive. In a not-so-surprising move, Infiniti announced today that they’ll be importing the G25 to our shores starting with the 2011 model year. Click past the jump for more details.

With the 2011 Ford Mustang GT being powered by a 5.0-liter V8 (302 cubic inches), the rumormill has been speculating that Ford would release a “Boss 302″ Mustang, and for once they were right! Today, Ford announced two Boss 302′s; a “base” Boss 302, and a track-ready version called the Boss 302 Laguna Seca.

According to a press release published by Ford today, the four engines available on its upcoming 2011 F-150 pickup should yield 20% gains in fuel economy compared to the same models in 2010. Since no V6 is available on the 2010 F-150, this is a believable number, especially considering the advanced engine technologies used to craft the new 5.0 and 6.2-liter V8s. As a recap, the engines available in the 2011 F-150 will be the 3.7-liter V6, 5.0 and 6.2-liter V8s, and later on in the model year, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. If the 20% number comes true, look for fuel economy numbers to be 14-17 city, 18-24 highway.

If you own or have ridden a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, you know they may not be fast, but they’ve got loads of torque and a mean noise to them. Well, so does the Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition pickup truck, and for 2011, it’s got even more grunt to it, thanks to a newly-developed 6.2-liter gasoline V8. With 411/434 horsepower/foot-pounds of torque and an upgraded 9,300-lb tow rating, the new HD edition F-150 is more than capable of towing your two-wheeled toys. More details and high-resolution pictures follow the jump.
