GM will be revealing the newest addition to its wagon line-up, the Cadillac BLS Wagon which, according to the US car maker, is another milestone for their car brand. The new wagon will be available in two new engines: the 2.0L Flexpower version which uses E85 for the eco-friendly and the turbo diesel engine handling a 132 kW (180 hp).

GM will also be showing another version of it CTS this year, the all-new 2008 Cadillac CTS. The automaker gave the new CTS more dramatic designs to bring out the best performance of the new car. However, the new version of CTS still sports the legendary design and lineage, only that GM gave the new car with more features that could boost its reputation as a luxury car brand. The car is available in two engine options: the 3.6L direct-injection V-6 VVT which is given more power this time as well as the 2.8L V-6. It will also come into a rear wheel drive and all wheel drive. Other versions will be the SRX, STS, XLR-V and the Cadillac Escalade.

There will be no new Saab model with new Saab fuel injectors in the Frankfurt show, but GM will be unveiling the new Corvette which features a huge 6.2L LS3 small-block V8 under its hood. Two versions of the Corvette will be in the Motor Show: the Coupe and the Convertible. Both feature the 321 kW or a 436 horsepower on a 586 Nm of torque. The six-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission will be a standard specification for the L3 and is the fastest Corvette with 0-96 km/h or 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds. Both cars are capable of running on a top speed of 306 km/h or 190 mph.

For Transformers fans, the HUMMER H2 will also be showing off its wares in the show. The iconic Ratchet will be sharing the stage with its sibling; the Hummer H3. Details of the H2 will be revealed on the Frankfurt Motor Show.

According to the Chrysler Group, they would be sending out two new vehicles for the Paris Motor Show. One would be the all new Jeep Wrangler while the other one would be the Dodge Avenger. And as per the latter, Chrysler even further says that this new vehicle actually is soon going to be marketed as a brand new saloon vehicle and it would be coming to the United Kingdom’s market come the middle of 2007.

During the mentioned auto show that will be held in the European region, it would also be the very first time that the newly revamped and upgraded Jeep Wrangler would be shown in the continent. According to Chrysler, they would be showing off the Jeep Wrangler in two versions. One would be the one that holds two doors while the other one would be the Jeep wrangler unlimited Edition and this would be holding four doors. Come the month of April next year, the United Kingdom auto maker would be able to purchase the vehicle. And as per the kind of power this vehicle has? Well, let us simply say that the new Jeep Wrangler would be sold mounted with the new 2.8 liter engine that runs on diesel fuel. But Chrysler further informs that there would be a couple of units that would be coming in with a 3.8 liter engine that would be running on petrol fuel.

The Dodge Avenger, on the other hand, is a vehicle that sure would be holding the interest of many of the auto show’s goers. It sure does look like a muscle car and with that you would also know that it would be holding a really good amount of power. Chrysler also informed the public that this vehicle would be really friendly to the family and it also has got a good fuel economy and would be a very efficient vehicle at that.

The Jeep brand is continuously expanding and conquering new territories with the premiere of its new Jeep Patriot at the Geneva Motor Show for this week.

The Patriot is Jeep’s new entry-level price point in the UK once it finally launches this summer. The Patriot combines interior flexibility and packaging of an SUV but with the performance, fuel economy, handling, and price of a family hatchback.

According to Peter Lambert, managing Director of Chrysler Group UK, “You can’t escape the fact that the new Jeep Patriot looks like a classic Jeep- but there is nothing old-fashioned about the performance and fuel economy of this compact SUV or its state-of-the-art four wheel drive system.” He also added, “The market place is changing and the Jeep brand is leading that change as the Compact SUV market grows. Our research shows that the Jeep Patriot appeals to younger customers that want more from their traditional family car – young families want a vehicle that looks different but still offers plenty of room and practicality, together with great performance and fuel economy.”

And since safety is becoming the primary priority for customers, Jeep has made sure that the Patriot is loaded with many standard features including side-curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), ESP or Electronic Stability Programme with Electronic Roll Mitigation and the Freedom Drive I full-time and active four-wheel drive system. Add to that the top-of-the-line auto parts and accessories like Jeep car cover which boosts Patriot’s tremendous value.

Lambert further stated, “Small family cars with four-wheel drive systems are becoming more sought after as they offer better handling and enhanced safety on the road. The higher seating position of the Patriot, together with the new four-wheel drive system that automatically switches from front to four-wheel drive if you lose traction, offers drivers a real advantage in everyday driving conditions. The Patriot is as much at home on wet and icy tarmac as on mud, sand, or snow and still manages to achieve a class-leading 43.5 mpg.”

The Jeep Patriot is available in two variants: the Patriot Limited and Patriot Sport both are to be offered in the UK and will have a price below the Jeep Compass Limited model. The official launching of the Patriot’s range in the UK is scheduled in July 2007 and will also include the introduction of a VW-sourced 138bhp 2.0 liter six-speed manual diesel engine and a 168 bhp 2.4 liter petrol engine with a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox.
