We’re back from our yearly Christmas / New Years / Uber Laziness hiatus for the kick off of Season 3. This week we’ve got some juicy tid bits from the NAIAS briefings like the Buick Regal GS Concept and the 2012 Ford Focus. Then we shift gears to talk about some sweet new Volt Tech courtesy of OnStar, and Ford’s new take on Sync the are calling myFord. Then we shock the industry with the announcement of the return of the vaunted 5.0 in the 2011 Mustang… no wait that was way back in episode 68, but it’s official now! But wait there’s more! GM also announced a new special edition color for the v6 Camaro on top of all that we heard tail of the new Ferrari 420 Dino.

That’s right this week we are reviewing none other than the 2010 Ford Mustang GT500! It’s big. It’s bad. And it looks like, given half a chance, it would eat you. What more do you need? Listen along as I try to review the GT500 and Nick keeps obsessing over his beloved Challenger.

In other news we found the widest road ever built. We now know why Nick is possibly the scariest driver ever. There’s yet another new Ferrari, while Mclaren is delaying the launch of it’s new supercar. Then Chrysler is offering exactly what we don’t need in a moving vehicle… live tv! We’ve also found some of the ugliest cars of the past 50 years, and Toyota announces the FT-86 concept.

It’s true! Apparenlty in Australia it rains Frozen Koalas duing WRC Rally Races. Honda realses images of the new Crosstour and let just say it didn’t get rave reviews. In the world of Formula 1 Force India finally gets a podium finish only to have Ferrari steal their star driver, Giancarlo Fisichella. Then we find out that the government still can’t add. BMW rocks out with the new Efficent Dynamics concept, and Audi has been bisy this past week, with the rumors of the impending release of and electric R8, and Audi’s president Johan de Nysschen, calls the Chevy Volt a car for idiots thanks to it’s $40,000 price tag. Then we have the most stolen cars in the U.S. and car rentals by the hour with www.ZipCars.com.

This one is just a tad bit late. I found this gallery of images just languishing on our server without a post to house it so I decided to give it a home.  A few months back we visited the RiceKiller.com Exotic Car Show. With cars like the Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Gallardo Ford GT, and Aerial Atom it’s probably the only time you’ll ever see this much car porn sitting in one place for free.

We all know racing old school high dollar cars around Laguna Seca may be every gearheads dream but, AutoBlog was kind enough to remind us that that dream can quickly turn in to a nightmare.

Caution: clicking on the image to the left may make you cry like a little girl, so you may not want to open this at work.

We happened to be at the Corkscrew, camera in hand, when the 250 TR went off course, and were able to capture Love’s off-track excursion. If you can handle seeing a beautiful, multi (multi) million dollar Testa Rossa getting damaged, then check out the entire sequence of photos in the gallery below.

This week BMW is leaving F1, just in time for Shumacher to come back (at the time this show was recorded Shumacher had yet to renounce his come back). In the super car world Porche’s dream job just got a bit better, Ferrari anounces the 458 Italia. Aston Martin and Elite team up on the LMV/R , Jalopnik says we might have a new Bugatti, and Audi is tinkering with an all electric R8. On the American side of the pond, Ford plans for Mustang to join NASCAR, and Cash for Clunkers is already out of cash (and has since received $2 Billion in additional funding). Then across the Pacific Toyota and Subaru have united to build the Toyobaru, but now it’s leaner and not any meaner.
