2006 Cadillac STSv (Seville) Mid-Size Luxury Touring Sedan
Nothing short of a revolution in products is unfolding at Cadillac, the elite brand from General Motors.

Then came the XLR, a sleek two-seat sports car showing edgy body forms in the package of a luxurious hardtop coupe that drops its lid with the push of a console switch. XLR was followed in 2005 by a new rendition of the Seville Touring Sedan -- STS -- conformed as a muscular mid-size sport tourer in bold format. Read More »

2006 Audi A6 Avant Mid-Size Luxury Sedan and Wagon
In 2005 Audi produced a new version of the A6 mid-size sedan in a format patterned closely after A8 models. It also increased in size, measuring nearly five inches longer than the previous A6 with wheelbase stretched three inches and the width expanded by two. Theme for the shell of A6 is a fluidity of lines drawn in rectangular format but capped by an arching canopy over the cabin with low-slung windows and side pillars muted to create the impression of a sleek coupe. This year, Audi adds an Avant variation to A6. A6 Avant for 2006 resembles the A6 sedan but with a wagon-like tail attached to forge the big cargo bay.

2006 BMW M6 Luxury Sport Coupe
Clear a path for the debut of a new M6 2 + 2 super coupe -- the most outrageously powerful 6-Series BMW ever. All of the thrust for M6 stems from a 5.0-liter V10 that blows the doors off with 507 hp and massive torque through a seven-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG) that brings both automatic and manual shift programs. BMW projects the zero-to-60 acceleration time for this new super car to clock in around four seconds and change.
