2013 Dodge Dart

Remember the Neon? So do we. And so does Dodge, who appears to be not-so-sneakily reviving the car under the moniker of the 2013 Dodge Dart ($TBA). Part Alfa Romeo, part Chrysler, the Dart will come with one of three different powertrains, three transmissions, an available 506-watt sound system, keyless entry, and class-exclusive features like an integrated dual exhaust, LED taillamps, an 8.4-inch touchscreen Uconnect media center, a reconfigurable gauge cluster display, and black or polished wheels.

Porsche Panamera GTS

Just because you're driving a sedan doesn't mean your journey needs to be boring. The Porsche Panamera GTS ($TBA) is a serious remedy for the four-door funk, offering up a 4.8L V8 pumping out 430 hp, which is paired to a 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmission and an all-wheel drive setup that lets it motor to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 178. Other features include an adaptive air suspension, Porsche Active Suspension Management, 19-inch wheels, and the ability to strike envy into the heart of any typical tike transporter.

2013 Cadillac XTS

It's about time Caddy got around to updating its flagship sedan, and update they did. The 2013 Cadillac XTS ($TBA) replaces both the aging (and hideously ugly) DTS and STS, breathing fresh air into the company's full-size lineup with all-new styling, the company's all-new CUE infotainment system — think multitouch and proximity sensors — and, surely, plenty of other goodies that have yet to be announced. Expect to see it in showrooms early next year.

2013 Volkswagen CC

It's not a full bore re-imagining — more of a face lift, really — but that doesn't make the 2013 Volkswagen CC ($TBA) any less desirable. Details on the refreshed "four-door coupe" are scarce, but we know it will sport new front and rear fascias, Bi-Xenon headlights with an Adaptive Front Lighting System and LED taillights standard, all of which bring it in line with the updated Jetta and Passat. It should be headed your way next Spring.

Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts. They turn back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and popular culture. From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.

2012 BMW 3 Series Sedan

This isn't one of those measly little face lift updates. Instead, the 2012 BMW 3 Series Sedan ($TBA) represents a ground-up rebuild of Bimmer's most popular line, resulting in a car that's wider and longer yet more powerful and fuel efficient. Power will come from a new turbocharged 4-cylinder — first seen in the Z4 — or the traditional turbo 6-cylinder, which are paired to a six-speed manual or new eight-speed automatic, and the new interior also boasts slightly more room, as well as new available features like a full-color heads-up display, a park-assist system, and multiple accident avoidance features. Of course, it does look different as well, with a higher, wider, and more athletic front facia featuring LED accent lights, a kidney grille that blends into the headlamps, and two large air intakes. Expect it in dealerships next February. [Scouted by Rob]

2013 Lexus GS 350

What is that parked along the immaculate grass of Pebble Beach? Why it's the 2013 Lexus GS 350 ($TBA). While not the sportiest ride in the world, the latest version of Lexus' standard luxury sedan sports a new aerodynamic body placed on a completely new platform offering a wider stance and improved rigidity, a transmission with quicker shifts that's been paired with a 306 horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 that moves the vehicle from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds, LED daytime running and tail lamps, white LED interior lighting, a next-generation Remote Touch controller for in-car systems like the stereo, climate controls, and navigation, and enough room to haul three buddies — and all your clubs — to and from the course.

2012 BMW M5

The king of the luxury supersedans is back. Sporting an all-new twin-turbo V8 good for 560hp, a 0-62 mph time of 4.4 seconds and an optional top speed of 190, the 2012 BMW M5 ($TBA) is ready to get you and up to four passengers to your destination in comfort and style — quickly. Other features include a new body treatment, electronics galore, a seven-speed double clutch transmission, 19-inch light alloy M-exclusive wheels, and — thankfully — astonishingly high 28.5 mpg fuel economy.

Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR

Not satisfied with Porsche's standard Panamera offerings? Take things one step further and order up a Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR ($TBA). Aggressively modified by Russian outfit TopCar, this limited edition — only 25 are being made — sports sedan features a nearly all-new carbon fiber and Kevlar body, including new front and rear bumpers, air vents, front and rear fender extenders, front and rear doors — the latter of which open with the press of a button — bonnet, wings, rear diffuser, spoiler, and side skirts, along with performance enhancements like a sport air filter, intake manifold, and valved exhaust system that boost horsepower north of the 600 mark.

2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8

Did you lose yourself in the latest "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler 300 ads only to find the engine selection more abhorrent than Eminem's awful Brisk commercial? The 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 ($TBA) should remedy the situation. Anchored by a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 pumping out 465 horses, the new SRT8 also boasts a 25 percent fuel economy boost, paddle shifters to go with the console-mounted Auto Stick, an Adaptive Damping Suspension system to provide a sticky yet comfortable ride, seven-spoke, forged aluminum 20-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, a heated steering wheel, an 8.4-inch touchscreen display, and an available 900-watt, 19-speaker system from Harman Kardon that should do plenty of justice to whatever you're playing, whether it be rap or rock.

2012 Dodge Charger SRT8

Trying to mix family-friendliness with full-on fun is always a challenge, but Dodge seems to have a knack for it. The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 ($TBA) is a perfect example, with its roomy interior, four full-sized doors, 900-watt, 19-speaker Harman Kardon speaker system and full complement of safety features that belie the car's racing tendencies, which include a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 pumping out an estimated 465 horsepower, paddle shifters, 20-inch aluminum wheels, Brembo brakes, aggressive body work, "racetrack" LED tail lamps, and dual exhaust tips. It's good to be the dad.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Affalterbach Edition

Good morning Canada! If you're a Canuck with a large pocketbook and a taste for blindingly-fast sedans, meet your new ride. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Affalterbach Edition ($81,500 CAD) features C63 Performance Package standards like a hand-built, 6.2 L V8 engine pumping out 481 hp and a 0-62 time of just 4.4 seconds, a rear view camera, no speed limiter, and a limited slip-differential, but adds limited edition touches like carbon fiber mirror housings, black, 19-inch AMG alloy wheels, red brake calipers, black AMG Nappa leather sport seats with red contrast stitching, carbon fiber interior trim, a rear lip spoiler, Affalterbach logos on the gearshift and headrests, and an exclusive Magno Allanite Grey paintjob. And limited it is: just thirty will be available, so get in line now.

2012 Audi A6

Not to be outdone by the 2011 A8, the new 2012 Audi A6 ($TBA) takes cues from its larger sibling while piling on the extras. Powered by either a gasoline or diesel engine with a hybrid in the works, the new A6 offers up to 300 hp and a top speed of 155, a choice of a six-speed manual, CVT, or seven-speed S-tronic automatic, and options for heated, ventilated, and massage seats, all-LED headlights, an ambient lighting system, 19-inch wheels, heads-up display, parking heater, MMI touch-based infotainment system, Bluetooth, a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a ton of other gear that will make that base price seem like an Olympic high jumper.
