2007 Canadian Debuts

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition (North American Premiere)
The new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition has all the attributes of a thoroughbred race car. Refined in numerous respects, this super sports car generates 650 hp and 605 lb-ft of torque, has a tailor-made suspension configuration and a decidedly sporty interior.

Mazda Nagare
Pronounced “na-ga-reh”, Mazda designers call the Nagare concept a precursor of future Mazda designs. This concept car is said to embody the word “flow,” examining light and shadow. It was designed in Mazda’s Southern California advanced design studio.

2008 Nissan Rogue
The new 2008 Nissan Rogue is designed to add a new dimension to the small crossover utility segment – satisfying both the functional needs of the buyer and their emotional needs. Rogue’s aggressive, performance-oriented styling, powerful engine, responsive handling and driver-focused cockpit combine with its thoughtful everyday utility to create a vehicle that shifts the way buyers, especially younger buyers, think about small crossovers. The 2008 Nissan Rogue is scheduled to go on sale in September 2007.

2007 Saturn Aura Green Line Hybrid
The Saturn Aura Green Line hybrid, introduced at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, will deliver at least a 25-percent fuel economy improvement over the non-hybrid Aura XE. The Aura Green Line is equipped with the affordable GM Hybrid system which reduces fuel consumption via sophisticated controls and a unique electric motor/generator mated to a 2.4L Ecotec VVT four-cylinder engine and Hydra-Matic 4T45 four-speed transmission.

Toyota MTRC
Toyota presents its vision of a high-performance future with its daring Motor Triathlon Race Car (MTRC) concept vehicle. Designed and built at Toyota’s European design studio, the MTRC embodies three strengths unquestionably “Toyota”: motor sports passion, a proud 4WD heritage, and global leadership in eco-friendly technologies. The two-seat MTRC is ready to compete in three radically different environments: a smooth track, a city street circuit, and an off-road course.

2007 Toyota Sienna Lift-Up Seat Van
The 2007 Toyota Sienna will also be available with Lift-Up Power Mobility Seats. These feature a remote control and can be installed in the front-right passenger or mid-right passenger position. In operation, the seat turns to the right, slides out of the vehicle, and lowers to the ground.

2008 Porsche Cayenne
To increase power and torque, as well as fuel economy, the engines on the restyled Porsche Cayenne and its Turbo and S variants are equipped with direct gasoline injection and have the new Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control as an option.

Volkswagen Tiguan
Volkswagen presents the Tiguan Concept: a companion for use on all routes, terrains and situations. The new "small Touareg" features a "Clean TDI", our next-generation BLUETEC diesel engine.

Winning Diesel Race Car Breaks the Mold

by Dan Modestino


Audi Sport’s newest winning technology is focused on fuel efficiency, low exhaust emissions and exploring new territory in the world of racing.

In the words of Audi of America executive vice president Johan de Nysschen, the Audi R8 is the “most successful car in motorsport history,” with 63 victories in a total of 80 races. In July, 2006, the R8 won its final race, giving way to the new R10 turbodiesel, which won the American LeMans Series championship at the Mosport round in Canada in August, as well as the overall victory in June at the 24 Hours of LeMans, the famed, 83-year-old French endurance race. Audi’s R8 went nearly unbeaten in North America’s premier sports racing series from 2000, winning every championship through 2005, as well as five victories at LeMans, still known today as the world’s most grueling endurance race.

BMW Driver Training

I always considered myself to be an above average driver. I enjoyed experimenting with abnormal driving conditions, pushing a vehicle over its edge, out of control, and then trying to regain control...
