Breaking Stereotypes: The 446,000 Mile Dodge Neon

March 12, 2010

Thinking about a Dodge Neon racking up 500k miles is a bit like imagining Britney Spears celebrating a golden wedding anniversary.

Toyota Camry patent filings - Click above for high-res image gallery

Toyota may be having some brand image troubles, what with all of the bad press it has been getting lately, but we mustn’t forget that the Japanese automaker produces many of America’s most popular cars, including the best-selling car in the U.S., the Camry.
Those keeping close watch will remember that the Camry received a very minor facelift for the 2010 model year, with the car receiving more Corolla-like styling, albeit in a more substantial package. However, one of our tipsters sent us these United States Patent and Trademark Office filing images of what appears to be the next-generation Camry, possibly slated for the 2012 model year. The sedan’s dimensions don’t seem to have changed too much, and the overall styling theme is still very conservative - in fact, it looks more milquetoast than the 2010 [...]

2012 Ford Police Interceptor reveal - Click above to watch the video

Earlier today, Ford unveiled its next generation Police Interceptor (they’d rather you not call it a Taurus) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway before a group of police agency fleet buyers. The event was webcast live, but you can now watch a replay as Ford president Mark Fields and vehicle line director Scott Tobin explain the process of developing the new cruiser and how it differs from a civilian Taurus.
The Dodge Charger has been stomping all over the Crown Vic and Impala in recent years during the annual Michigan State Police vehicle test, but that process could end this year when the new Taurus Police Interceptor hits the track.
