Sources say Nissan is preparing to cease production of this truck by the end of calendar 2012.

Jaguar will be in attendance at the New York Auto Show with the facelift version of their XF luxury sedan. The company is headed into 2012 with an addition of a diesel version to the XF engine lineup, which will even be available on the US market.

 
The new 2.2-liter diesel unit will deliver a total of 190 HP and 332 lbs ft of torque, while returning 52.3 mpg on the combined cycle and only 149 g/km of CO2. It will feature a water-cooled turbocharger with low-friction pistons, new injectors, and a new crankshaft. The new configuration allowed Jaguar engineers to add a new oil pan and new electronic systems which affect the crankshaft to allow the new intelligent Stop-Start system to operate more efficiently. The new engine will be mated to an advanced eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox, with the seventh and eight ratios effectively acting as overdrive gears.
 
 
With this type of setup, the diesel XF will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 8.5 seconds and will hit a maximum speed of 140 mph.

On the road, the XF has mucho whoosh over a nice wide torque spread, and plenty of refinement nearly all the time. Sometimes you notice the 'box has been set for obsessive economy - get stuck behind a truck at a steady 50mph, and it goes for seventh, leaving the engine grumbling agriculturally at about 1,200rpm. But you always over-ride with the paddles. On a motorway, it's just a distant hum. And as the engine is a bag of cement lighter than the V6, it's even better in sharp corners.
 

As to the numbers, if you compare auto with auto (Jag gives no manual option), the BMW 520d is still a sliver more economical and speedy. But not so's you'd notice. If you like the XF, there's now no rational reason to buy a rival saloon.

Back in 2009, Lamborghini unveiled the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni - a 550 HP special edition limited to only 250 units. This model was only offered in a coupe version, but at next week’s Los Angeles Auto Show, Lamborghini will come packing a Roadster version. The new roadster model will drop the "Valentino Balboni" name and will simply be called the "Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder."


The Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder will retain the coupe’s 550 HP 5.2 liter V10 engine and will also be offered with a rear-wheel drive system. Performance figures haven’t been announced just yet, but we expect them to be similar to the coupe model: 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 199 mph.


The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder will go on sale in early 2012. As far as pricing, we imagine it will be a few thousand dollars more than the Coupe, which was priced at $219,800 in the US.
