A new report is out that Porsche’s new sport utility vehicle will be even spicier in name than its “Cayenne” predecessor. Apparently, Porsche has opted for “Cajun” as the working name for its forthcoming compact SUV which is expected to debut in 2013 or 2014. Alright, I think we can all agree that Cajuns incorporate adventure, intriguingly spicy food and a real zest for life into their everyday approach, but naming this new car after them may be pushing this whole Louisiana thing a bit too far. Remember, the term “Cajun” refers to descendants of Acadian immigrants from Nova Scotia. How this relates to one of the world’s best sports car lines, well, your guess is as good as mine. But if it’s in line with the performance of the “Cayenne (2011 model pictured),” “Cayman,” and “Panamera” models, the new “Cajun” could be the ride that bridges the generational gap between Porsche’s older enthusiasts and the younger crowd looking for something fast and affordable.

You should’ve seen the movie Bullitt by now, and if you haven’t you’ll have plenty of time to catch up on this classic during your extended holiday weekend.
For the driver who likes to experience the open-air exhilaration of a convertible while enjoying the versatility of an SUV can now enjoy the 2011 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. Yep, just like a poodle and a pug make a Puggle, the Murano and the Cabriolet make the Murano CrossCabriolet (not quite as fun to say as Puggle). The Murano CrossCabriolet has room for four adults, plenty of storage space for golf bags and luggage, and a premium level interior. It will go on sale in early 2011.

I don't tend to do two "farewell" type stories in a row, but when I got the press release from Lamborghini announcing the end of the Murcielago's production life, I couldn't pass up bidding a farewell to this iconic super sports car.
The last-ever Murcielago left the production line on May 11, 2010--it was the 4,099th ever produced. This makes the Mucielago not only the most-produced Lamborghini 12-cylinder of all time (by far), but also one of the world's most successful super sports cars.
The Murcielago's "end of production" was celebrated in the factory on Nov. 5, 2010 with a special exhibition of the most iconic V12 cars of Lamborghini's history. A parade in in Sant'Agata Bolognese followed.
After 84 years, GM has officially announced that it will no longer be producing Pontiacs. GM's agreement with the Pontiac dealers expired on Sunday, Oct. 31, and due to the economy and the changing automobile market, GM decided to end the agreement. Any unsold Pontiac models will now be considered used cars by GM.
Although Pontiac earned a name for itself during the 60s and the 70s, Pontiac sales topped out in 1968 when the Firebird was one of the hottest cars to ride around in. But, with the rising gas prices came the decline in popularity of muscle cars. By 2008, only 267,000 Pontiac vehicles were sold. And, in April 2009, GM decided to drop the Pontiac name for good.
