Tail lights

There are crossover demographics in many areas of interest, some bigger than others, but it’s a fair guess to say that most guys in the “guy” demographic like to (a) drive fast and (b) blow stuff up. Maybe that’s a vast oversimplification. But it works for this story.
Truth be told, we had never seen Sons of Guns before we drove the Red Jacket Jeep, and opinion even among firearms enthusiasts varies on the devices built and used on the show, but this isn’t Gunweek, so we’ll concentrate on the Jeep part.
The Red Jacket Jeep is the brain child of P.T. “Pat” Muldoon, longtime chief engineer at Mopar and the impetus behind such Moparized Jeep classics as the immortal Power Ram Wagon and the NuKizer, to name just the ones we got to drive in Moab a while back. Now Muldoon is in charge of building cool stuff at V Werks, a wholly owned subsidiary of OE supplier Venchurs. Venchurs supplies that pickup bed conversion you see on the back of the Jeep JK8, as well as most of the rest of the stuff adorning it.
“This is a JK8 conversion so it started its life as a Rubicon four-door JK and was converted to the pickup truck,” said Muldoon, walking around and pointing it all out. “We put our four-inch lift kit with a one-inch body lift, 40-inch BFG Krawler tires and then we updated a lot of the internal driveline components to take the 40-inch tires: upgraded brakes, oversized master cylinder, internals from Dynatrac, 538 gears, our rock rails, our fenders, our front and rear bumpers and our new cowl induction hood.”
There apparently was no V Werks kitchen sink available.
As is, if you wanted this exact Jeep it would cost you $115,000, minus all of those layers of deep red paint slathered on the body. There already is one fan of the show who has ordered exactly this, costs be damned. And there will be more orders, V Werks hopes.
“We’re going to offer a two-door, four-door and a JK8 package with Red Jacket,” Muldoon said. “There’s been a big outpouring and a big interest . . . it opened up a new market where we’re getting a lot of face time with people that are into what Red Jacket did with weapons and vice versa.”

Here’s a new version of the world’s quintessential sport sedan and perpetual All-Star, the BMW 3-series — the designated target for car manufacturers everywhere.

BMW 3 Series Front

There’ll be sleek convertibles, sporty wagons and coupes, and clumsy-looking SUV variants of this design from BMW in the coming months, but the whole of this iteration’s character is embodied in the first-out four-door, the volume seller. At first glance, the 3-series sedan seems softer, more consensual, and less idiosyncratic than the last couple of Bangle-body 3s, but there is a lot more to this car than jumps to the untrained eye. I can confidently predict two things: that it will be another best-seller, and that it will evolve considerably during its production period. The first because it looks very good, the second because it has been cleverly designed to be easily and inexpensively changed visually.
Both ends of the car, from the lamps downward and well into the wheel openings, have molded plastic skin that can be made to totally alter the appearance without the least change to the underlying structure, meaning that an extensive face-lift can be undertaken without the necessity of a completely new crash-safety test program. Variations among models, a useful gambit when there is as great a range of available powertrains as BMW employs, means that an economical four-cylinder-diesel model can have a different face from one housing the biggest gasoline six-cylinder. And although BMW likely won’t do it, the company could probably afford to give the 3-series a different look every year without changing the upper section, glass, doors, or indeed any chassis elements.

As a matter of personal taste, I don’t much like the headlamps touching the grille nor that patch of chrome on the sides of the grille, exposed as though some of the sheetmetal had melted away, but I do find the total composition more attractive than the last couple of generations.  And I really like the fact that there is almost no decor on the body sides, around the windows, or all over the front and rear ends, just those small horizontal chrome bars low on either end. All the interiors I have seen, whether at the Detroit show or in photos, are pleasing. Were I to buy a 3-series for myself, I would surely not choose wood interior trim. I love wood as a structural material and think it definitely had its place as trim in cars during the first half of the last century — but no more.

The nice thing about this midrange BMW is that it can easily be configured to suit the desires and requirements of almost anyone. It’s big enough to be comfortable, small enough to be agile and easy to manage in urban situations, and has an available range of installed power that is really wide. Looks like another winner to me.

One of the finest examples of sport and luxury, the BMW 3 Series has consistently made its case as one of the most important automobiles of the last 20 years. Custom refinement happens to be a favorite pastime for its drivers and CARiD.com has the selection of BMW 3 Series Grills to keep them in the game. The front of this ride beckons to images of racing glory mixed with feelings of upscale sophistication. So why not give the people what they want?

Buick Introduces the New 2013 Enclave
New design cues, technologies enhance the industry’s top three-row luxury crossover. Buick today introduced the new 2013 Enclave, an evolution of the industry’s best-selling three-row luxury crossover. It offers new styling, new safety technologies, in-vehicle connectivity and a more refined driving experience.
LED daytime running lamps and LED taillamps complement a more sculpted exterior design. The interior is more contemporary, wîth ambient lighting and IntelliLink in-vehicle communications wîth touch-screen control and navigation. (posted on conceptcarz.com) The industry’s first front center air bag system and new dual-flow front struts highlight the safety and performance enhancements.
The 2013 Enclave makes its public debut at the New York Auto Show, where it will be on display April 6-15. It goes on sale this fall.
‘The 2013 Enclave advances the award-winning design, craftsmanship and technology that reintroduced Buick to a new generation of customers,’ said Tony DiSalle, Ú.S. vice president of Buick Marketing. ‘We evolved the interior and exterior design, increased luxury amenities and materials, and engineered purposeful technologies that will make the Enclave continue to resonate wîth luxury crossover owners.’
Enclave saw record sales in 2011, making it more popular than the three-row crossovers from Acura, Audi and Lincoln. More than 58,000 were sold last year – wîth nearly 50 percent sold to customers switching from non-General Motors vehicles.
The Enclave is offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models, and powered by a direct-injected 3.6L V-6 and an updated six-speed automatic transmission that contribute to the more refined driving experience. Buick‘s QuietTuning engineering process reduces, blocks and absorbs unwanted noise from the Enclave’s cabin, making it quieter than a Lexus RX350.

The Detroit News reports that while Chrysler is only expected to offer one minivan going forward, the vehicle will carry two different names depending on where it’s sold.  The Dodge Grand Caravan is expected to carry on in Canada while American buyers are likely to continue to be able to buy the Chrysler Town and Country. Reid Brigland, the head of the Dodge brand, said that the Town and Country resonates better with American buyers.

As you may recall, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that the automaker will only offer one minivan by 2013. In addition, the next-generation Chrysler minivan will offer optional all-wheel drive and have a nine-speed automatic transmission. Buyers will also be able to chose between standard sliding doors and a people-mover configuration with traditional hinged entrances. Chrysler also plans to take the compact-van fight to the Ford C-Max with a smaller platform as well.

The Detroit News says that the next-generation Chrysler minivan will continue to be built in the automaker’s Windsor, Ontario facility.

The stock is cut to length then shaped to its specific contour. Each grille is then hand assembled into a custom jig and precision welded with a process called “T.I.G.” to ensure a strong and clean weld. The final stage of manufacturing includes a three-stage polishing and cleaning. Nissan Grill Detailed installation instructions included, along with all the necessary mounting hardware.
