2009 Ford Fiesta Engine Specs Announced, Top-Of-The-Line Duratec Hits 118 HP

This morning, Ford continued their excruciatingly slow release of details on the 2009 Ford Fiesta. Today's morsel is the top-of-the-line new Fiesta's Duratec gas engine will be rated at just over 118 HP, good for a 0-to-62 MPH jog in just under 10 seconds, yet still providing a combined fuel economy of 47.9 MPG (That'd be 38.9 MPG for us colonials). Not too shabby. More details below.

Ford Mondeo Titanium Gets That X Factor

If we were in the market for a new Mondeo, which would mean we'd be living in another country, we'd probably go for Mondeo Titanium S five-door hatch, which comes both with sharp styling cues and a powerful TDCi diesel mill. We should say that's what we would have purchased. Now that we know there's a Titanium X model as the new flagship we're going to bite down on that. Though it isn't going to break any landspeed records with its 0-62 mph jog time of 8.4 seconds, all that style with a sporty suspension, standard six-speed manual transmission and a combined economy figure of 45.6 MPG in the EU combined cycle make for one supreme sedan. Press release and pics of the now passé Titanium S below.

Ford Mondeo and S-Max Get New Diesel, Titanium S Option, American Lust And Envy

If you haven't noticed, it's Kinetic Design Friday. We've got your Ford Fiesta, your Ford Kuga, and now your S-Max and Mondeo. The biggest news is the new 2.2-liter four-cylinder TDCi Duratorq diesel engine for the Mondeo, S-Max and Galaxy. This advanced diesel features the third generation common rail and turbo system, allowing the engine to produce 175 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque while still maintaining low emissions. The Mondeo and S-Max also get a new Titanium S option, which provides additional styling queues such as side skirts, modified grille frames, new fog lamp kits and other touches on the outside. On the inside, the Titanium S models get specially stitched leather, brushed aluminum finishes and piano black surfaces. Full press release and pics below.

Ford Kuga Production Hotter Than Jane Seymour, Pics And Details

The full production photos and details of the new Ford Kuga are finally here and it's still an attractive, capable looking C1-based AWD crossover that we'll probably never get. Would anyone here even be interested in the 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi engine or standard six-speed manual transmission? We didn't think so. In addition to choosing between FWD and the Haldex intelligent AWD system, the Kuga follows other Ford of Europe products in offering the "cool and colorful" Trend package or "modern, techno premium-feel" Titanium version. This five-passenger CUV also offers a 60/40 second row designed to fold completely flat. Pre-Geneva pics and press release below the jump.

North Americans Only! The Porsche Cayenne S Titanium Edition


Canada's not minding in the least being lumped in with the US of A today — they're just happy they're getting a piece of this titanium-trimmed beauty — because it's only going to be available in North America. The titanium edition gets its name from the "titanium metallic trim" exclusive to the model. It's available in four exterior colors, "Pure Red", "iceland Silver Metallic", "Marine Blue Metallic" and — "Black." That's right — no fanciness on that one — just plain black. Like the Cayenne S, this edition gets the 340 hp, 4.5-liter V-8 with the six-speed tiptronic. And the best part is unlike most "special editions" you'll be getting all this — at a price 10% lower than a similarly equipped Cayenne S. Not a bad bargain if you ask us. The full press release and more pictures are available after the jump. More »

Audi Launches New Titanium Package in Chicago

At the Chicago show, Audi kept a lower profile than the syphilitic Al Capone in his Palm Island years. Still, it did stealthily launch its new Titanium Package for the A4 S-line, which includes 18" DTM-style alloys and polished black front grille frame, window trim, headliner and interior beltline trim (in lacquered "Piano Black"). It'll be available on 3.2 A4 S-lines and the 2.0T S-line as a $500 add-on. Sonic Youth references are available at no extra cost at Fourtitude.
