2011 Ford Super Duty (May 2011)

The Ford in the 2011 Super Duty is its new engines. The first is a 6.2-liter gasoline-powered V8 that makes 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.  If that's not enough hauling power, any of the Super Duty trucks can be outfitted with a 6.7-liter turbocharged Power Stroke diesel. That engine makes 390 horsepower and 735 pound-feet of torque.

As a result of the power and the beefy chassis (which carry over from the 2008 redesign), the Super Duty gets the title of the most hauling capacity. The F-120, the smallest of the Super Dutys, can tow up to 14,000 pounds, which is a half ton more than comparable models from Dodge, Chevy and GMC. The mammoth Ford F-450 (which requires a commercial driver's license in some states) can tow up to 24,400 pounds -- three tons more than the largest Dodge Ram HD and 4,400 pounds more than the largest heavy duty trucks from GM.

2011 Ford Flex (May 2011)

The Ford Flex only change for 2011 is the addition of a new Titanium model. It slots in above the previous top-end Limited trim and starts at just over $40,000. That makes it an expensive proposition for a family SUV. However, for the money you get all the bells and whistles the Flex offers, including standard navigation and a power liftgate, plus a bunch of blacked-out exterior features that make the Flex look even more bad-ass than it already does. The Flex Titanium is certainly not your parents’ Country Squire.

The 2011 Ford Flex comes standard with front-wheel drive, while all trims except the base model have available all-wheel drive. It comes in several trims -- the base SE, SEL, Limited and all-new Titanium. Be sure to check out current Ford deals that may be available on a new Flex.

2011 Infiniti G (May 2011)

For 2011 Infiniti G, there is a lot going on with the G lineup. There are two new models: the G25 sedan and IPL G Coupe, which are essentially polar opposites. The G25 Sedan is a luxury-inspired sedan that focuses on value. The new IPL G Coupe is a G37 that has been tuned to make more power and concentrates solely on performance. With new performance-enhancements, the IPL G is a G37 Coupe on steroids.

Additionally, there are new limited-edition models for the G37 sedan and G37 convertible while the coupe and convertible received minor updates to their front fascia.

2011 BMW 3-Series (May 2011)

The 2011 BMW 3-Series is the brand’s bread and butter; it’s BMW’s highest-selling car. Not only are there sedans, coupes, convertibles and wagons, but there are also rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. Additionally, there are several different motors. This means buyers have the choice of plain Jane, “that’s fast,” and “oh my!”  With that said, we review the high-performance M3 separately.

For 2011, BMW gives the coupe and convertible some new cosmetic modifications to their front and rear. Additionally, BMW ditched the older twin-turbo setup in the 335i for a single turbo powerplant. Although it may sound like a bad idea for a performance car, don’t worry. The new engine makes the same power but is more fuel-efficient.

Also new for 2011 BMW are a pair of new models, the 335is coupe and convertible. For 2011, BMW has pulled the old switcharoo as the standard 335i gets a single turbo motor while the 2011 335is retains the older, bi-turbo engine.

MSRP: $34,600 - $59,650
Invoice: $31,830 - $54,880
MPG: 18 City / 28 Hwy

Lease Deal

$389 per month for 27 months with $3,614 due at signing. Applies to 328xi sedans.
