Change has already come to Audi for the 2010 model year: this week, Audi took High Gear Media for first drives in the ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034536_spy-shots-2011-hyundai-sonata http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034536_spy-shots-2011-hyundai-sonata Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:35:00 -0400 A few shots of what could be the 2011 Hyundai Sonata have surfaced on the Web.

With the latest spy shots making the round at Motor Authority, it seems a 2009 Frankfurt auto show appearance for the 5er is a strong possibility. The new 5-Series ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1020306_more-2010-jaguar-xj-pics-spill-out-full-story-this-afternoon http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1020306_more-2010-jaguar-xj-pics-spill-out-full-story-this-afternoon Thu, 09 Jul 2009 10:00:00 -0400 The 2010 Jaguar XJ is coming--this week, TheCarConnection.com has the first photos of the revamped luxury sedan as it has its world premiere.
