Maybe Auto Bild missed the memo that police fleet Ford Crown Victorias have been called &#8220;Interceptor&#8221; since 1992. Either way, they&#8217;re arguing that Ford&#8217;s new &#8220;all-new Interceptor&#8221; should be a production version of 2006&#8217;s Ford Interceptor Concept. &#8220;With it the police&#8217;s new transportation would not only be more modern, but also properly cool,&#8221; they deadpan.

Volkswagen will continue its pioneering work testing the boundaries between platform-sharing and brand-engineering, reports Autocar, with a new platform destined to underpin some 60 models globally. The modularen querbaukasten (modular transverse engine, or MQB) architecture will form the basis of models ranging from the sub-Golf Lupo to the Sharan MPV, starting with the next-gen Audi [...]]]></description>

Surprise! There&#8217;s some good news coming out of Chrysler&#8217;s five-year plan presentation. Okay, the really surprising part first: Sergio Marchionne has revealed that Chrysler has $5.7B in cash, up from $4B when it exited bankruptcy in June. The somewhat less surprising part: Jeep is bringing a stop-start-equipped, diesel-powered Wrangler. How niche-tastic is that?

Chrysler&#8217;s five-year product and business plan won&#8217;t be officially announced until next Wednesday, but the leaks have begun already. The Wall Street Journal was so curious about Chrysler&#8217;s product plan, they were able to squeeze a few broad strokes out of &#8220;people briefed on the plans.&#8221;

Next year, Chrysler&#8217;s new 300/Charger and Grand Cherokee/Durango will hit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Well, we&#8217;ve been here before. A while back we&#8217;d heard that an Alfa 169-branded, LX-platformed sedan would be built at Brampton for the US market, with a rumored $62k price point. That story seemed a bit iffy at the time, although it wouldn&#8217;t surprise us to hear it announced officially at Chrysler&#8217;s forthcoming five-year plan [...]]]></description>

The birthplace of TTAC, pistonheads.com, reports that the Land Rover Defender has finally left the ramparts. I&#8217;m sure the Defender will have plenty of defenders, but I will not be amongst them. Setting aside the idea that the Defender could behave like a modern car on a normal road (a preposterous suggestion), the 25 to [...]]]></description>

After months of teases and race-car previewing, Toyota is publicly unveiling its production-spec LF-A supercar at the Tokyo Auto Show [via Automotive News [sub]]. And it&#8217;s a legitimate front-engine supercar, with a 4.8 liter V10 motivating it to 60 MPH in 3.7 seconds. It even has a true supercar pricetag: $375,000. But how does this [...]]]></description>

Nissan&#8217;s got a new platform (codename &#8220;V&#8221;) that will underpin a number of low-cost body styles for third-world markets&#8230; like the US. According to Automotive News [sub], a four-door sedan, a five-door hatchback and a multipurpose vehicle will be based on the sub-Versa platform, collectively replacing the non-US-market Micra. Nissan hopes to sell a million [...]]]></description>

Global Times has an official image of the production Hyundai Azera-based Kia Cadenza, the replacement for the aged and unlovable Amanti. Not long ago, TTAC&#8217;s sharp-eyed readers had a surprisingly hard time identifying this car&#8217;s interior as a Kia at all. And with a new Schreyer-styled look that&#8217;s light years beyond the Amanti&#8217;s crude E-class [...]]]></description>

Auto Motor und Sport&#8217;s Erlkönig prototype hunters tracked down Audi&#8217;s smallest car yet, testing before a 2010 European launch. Pricing and currency issues are blamed for the A1&#8217;s Euro-restricted habitat, and with a base price of €16-18k for a 1.2 liter engine, it&#8217;s no surprise that it won&#8217;t show up stateside. The possible 200 hp, [...]]]></description>

In our Regal-welcoming thread, Martin Schwoerer noted that the Insignia is smaller inside than the Cruze.  And guess what? He&#8217;s right (trust but verify). The German-market Cruze has 963 mm (37.9 inches) of rear kopffreiheit, while Insignia comes in at 910 cm (35.8 inches) according (PDF) to the guys at motor-talk.de (who cite sources ).  [...]]]></description>
