2014 Lexus IS, 2013 Range Rover, SRT Barracuda: Car News Headlines: 
We have our first spy shots of prototypes for the completely redesigned 2014 Lexus IS. The car is expected to feature the most aggressive iteration of Lexus’ new spindle grille design yet, as well as an eventual hybrid model. After teasing us last month, Land Rover has finally released all the specs plus a bevy of new photos for its 2013...

Gran Canaria (Gran Canaria sp.) is the third largest Spanish-owned Canary Island archipelago, which is the Atlantic Ocean, 210 km from north-west Africa. Area 1560 km ². 807 thousand lives. population (2006).. The most important city - Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Each region of the island or town is characterized by a unique microclimate and cultural traditions. Not for nothing that Gran Canaria is sometimes called "a great theme park." Island home and craft traditions of Ingenio village, surrounded by orchards Telde, Gran Canaria, a beautiful town - Terror, famous for its impressive architecture and the Virgin Mary's Pine Church, Bandama panoramic view from the summit crater island point and symbol of the island - Roque Nublo, fog rock 'peak from which to appreciate the neighboring island of Tenerife and the surrounding panoramic views. Island Capital - Las Palmas - every four years, alternating with the city of Santa Cruz (Tenerife, the capital), is the capital of the Canary archipelago. Las Palmas - the largest city in the archipelago - a famous traditional carnival. An entire month before going on the carnival, flood the streets dancing and musical performances. Puerto Mogan or "Little Venice" - a tiny fishing port grew into a cozy resort center in the south of the island. Coast port surrounded by a promenade and alkaline authentic town, drowned out of the beds. [edit] Geography.
The Dunes area is however better known its reputation as a cruising ground; primarily for gay men but it also has its fans in the straight community. They are busy all year round, but more so at weekends when the numbers of visitors to the island is swelled by many residents from Las Palmas and the rest of the island.
To reach the cruising area you can take an extended walk round the shoreline from Playa del Inglés beach although this will take at least an hour. The main bathing area eventually gives way to an extended nudist beach with gay men favouring the end of this stretch. To reach the cruising area, you should walk away from the beach and over the dunes until you reach the flatter scrubland.
A more convenient way is to pass under the Riu Palace Hotel at the end of Avenida de Tirajana in Playa del Inglés and follow the road down to the viewing platform where the dunes themselves can be seen. On the right hand side are a set of steps which you should take and then walk until you reach the scrubland and palm trees in front of you

Volkswagen Details U.S.-Spec 2015 Golf and GTI Powertrains [2013 New York Auto Show]: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL645248890E6B7ED9
When Volkswagen debuted the seventh-generation, 2015 Golf at the last year’s Paris auto show and the 2015 GTI at the Geneva show earlier this year, the automaker tantalizingly revealed nearly everything about both rides. That is, everything except final engine options for the U.S. market. Oh sure, VW furnished European powertrain specifications for both rides, but despite the latest Golf and GTI being still about a year away from going on sale here in the U.S., we’re an impatient bunch—after all, the Golf and GTI are among our favorite compacts. Thankfully, the wait is over for U.S.-spec powertrain info, which Volkswagen has announced at the 2013 New York auto show.
While the European Golf offers a host of gas and diesel engines, the U.S. model will offer just two: A turbocharged, gas-fed 1.8-liter four and a 2.0-liter diesel four. The 1.8-liter makes the same 170 horsepower as the outgoing Golf’s inline-five it replaces, but seven more lb-ft of torque. Once again, the diesel will be dropped into the Golf TDI, but this time around it’s an all-new engine. Compared to the current Golf TDI’s 2.0-liter four, the new engine—which is a member of VW’s new EA288 engine family—produces the same 236 lb-ft of torque, but 10 additional horsepower, for a total of 150. Volkswagen’s specificity regarding the regular Golf’s transmission choices starts and ends with the promise that both manual and automatic options will be offered; gear counts and the type of automatic weren’t detailed. We’re betting that we get either the Euro model’s seven- or six-speed dual-clutch auto.
As for our favorite hot hatchback, the GTI, it will get the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four as the Euro model. Only our version will make slightly less horsepower, with VW’s initial estimates coming in around 210 ponies. Before you start bellyaching about how Americans always get the short end of the stick, consider that at least the 2015 GTI will make the same 258 lb-ft of torque as the Euro model. The outgoing U.S.-spec GTI packs 200 horses and 207 lb-ft and is hardly a slouch; factor in the newest model’s slight weight loss, and it should be quicker than before. Regardless, the last-gen GTI was down a few horsepower to its European counterpart, too, so any anguish over missing output shouldn’t be a surprise. Once again, a six-speed manual or dual-clutch automatic transmission will be offered.
Finally, Volkswagen gave no further indication of expected fuel economy for any 2015 Golf derivative, or whether it plans to bring the latest GTD—effectively a diesel-powered GTI—to the States. (We suspect it will make it here.) As for the possible next-generation Jetta SportWagen, well, look no further than the 2015 Volkswagen Golf Variant; we expect that here in the U.S. it will be powered by the same 1.8-liter four or 2.0-liter diesel as the Golf.

Image Leak! The 2014 Cadillac CTS Is Gonna Be Purty [2013 New York Auto Show]
Image Leak! The 2014 Cadillac CTS Is Gonna Be Purty [2013 New York Auto Show]:
by Efotosadis Fotosadis
We’re mere days away from a major auto show, which means an inevitable slow and steady leak of photos and information covering highly anticipated reveals. We’ve already seen the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG courtesy of Russian website AutoWP.ru, for example. This particular batch of leaked images posted by Flickr user upcomingvehiclesx (you can see a couple of additional frames at the link) and found first by GMInsideNews have ripped the sheet from the 2014 Cadillac CTS—and the Alpha-platform car is going to be a stunner.
OK, so none of the photos posted thus far show the full car, but it’s clear that the new CTS’s front end takes cues from its smaller platform- and stablemate, the ATS. But the larger CTS, which will grow larger to better take on the BMW 5-series and others, features sharper detailing, which could make its little brother look weaker and slightly flabby in comparison. Even so, the design features fewer straight lines than the outgoing CTS, and is a clear evolution of the Art and Science styling language Cadillac initiated a little more than a decade ago.
While similar in design, the CTS’s LED signatures are more prominent than the ATS’s—at least on this presumably up-level trim—and extend more cleanly into the lower front fascia. The grille frame is softened from before, and features two horizontal chrome strips versus the current three. We learned last week that the maw will feed air to an engine lineup that includes a new 420-hp, 3.6-liter twin-turbo V-6. Rear- and all-wheel drive will be available. We also note that this car wears Kumho Escsta SPT high-performance summer tires, which now you do, too.
Compared to the aggressive front end seen here, what we can see of the rear end is decidedly tamer. Creases from the body sides flow into the decklid and create some of the surface contours of the taillight units. We’re digging the classy execution of an Easter egg in those same lamps—look closely and you’ll spot a subtle script “Cadillac”.
One of the leaked images shows the new car’s front passenger door panel, and it features similar shapes to those seen in the ATS and XTS. Contrast stitching provides a visual break between the full-grain hide on the doortop and the faux suede below. The wood trim here is open-pore stuff, and it looks great. If the rest of the interior delivers on the style and implied material quality seen here, then we should be in for a treat.
Should more photos of the 2014 Cadillac CTS leak out on Flickr, an eastern European website, or via carrier pigeon directed to our offices, we’ll be sure to update our coverage. The 2013 New York auto show kicks off Wednesday, though, so you can check back then for a full-boat download on the all-new CTS.
