2012 Ferrari FF ? First Drive Review
Ferrari builds a four-wheel-drive wagon?and it?s just as thrilling as anything else prancing out of Maranello. Running through hairpin corners in the Dolomite Mountains of the South Tyrol region of Italy, the Ferrari FF?s two-door wagon body style is the last thing on my mind, which is interesting because it?s probably the first thing anyone [...]

AT&T orders 101 CNG-powered Chevrolet Express vans
Filed under: Chevrolet, GM, Natural Gas
AT&T has ordered up 101 Chevrolet Express Cargo 2500 vans outfitted from the factory with General Motors' compressed natural gas (CNG) system. GM claims that the van's natural gas-capable Vortec 6.0-liter V8 engine gets a gasoline-equivalent fuel economy of 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 mpg out on the open highway. Fuel tank capacity (illustrated above) ranges from 15.8 to 23 gasoline-equivalent gallons.
Since the Chevy Express vans come from the factory with the CNG setup already in place, they are covered by GM's three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. While the Express' comprehensive warranty is no doubt one of its strengths, the steep $14,590 price tag for the optional CNG system will be seen by some as a significant drawback. The natural gas-burning Chevy Express vans will link up with the rest of AT&T's enormous fleet of vehicles within the next couple of months.

Porsche Boxster
The Porsche Boxster has been around for about 15 years and has only seen two generations and a facelift in 2008. Luckily for the guys over at Porsche, the mid-engined roadster is doing fine without the extra renovations. For 2011, the Boxster isn’t coming at us with extra packages or additional bells and whistles, but it is arriving in style with its usual sleek and unique exterior, and its good ol’ faithful 2.9L six cylinder Boxer engine.
The Porsche Boxster doesn’t really scream incredible speed with a power output of 255hp at 6,400rpm and 214 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s 0-60mph sprint of 5.6 seconds isn’t the best time for sports cars in this class and its 163mph isn’t the best either. What is cool about this engine setup is the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) which can minimize these performance numbers and provide a more comfortable ride.
Pricing for the 2011 Porsche Boxster starts off at a reasonable $47,600 for the base model which comes with the standard six-speed transmission. Add the seven-speed PDK gearbox and that price jumps up to $51,020. And then there’s the addition of a few "extras" that could jet propel this price to a not-so-comfortable, underwear up the butt kind of feeling.
Hit the jump to get the good, the bad, and the oooh about the 2011 Porsche Boxster.
