KIA Sportage 2011 (Third generation)

The 2011 Kia Sportage was released in April 2010 to Asian and European market, with North and Central American market release on 8 August, 2010. Australian market release debuted in late October. It currently uses a 2.0L CRDi 136 and 184 hp (137 kW) Hyundai R diesel engine, although Kia has announced that a 2.0L straight-4 Turbo (260 hp (194 kW) 269 lb·ft (365 N·m)) gasoline direct injection turbo engine will also be released in 2011. The engine is the same one used in the Hyundai Sonata 2.0T.
In China, the third generation, called Sportage R, was released by Dongfeng-Yueda-Kia in October 2010, and to be built and marketed alongside—rather than as replacement of—the existing model.
The 3rd generation Kia Sportage, designed by Peter Schreyer, awarded 'Top Safety Pick' from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States. Earning the award became tougher in 2010 when IIHS added the rollover crash test, which measures roof strength and is twice as stringent as the federal requirement. To pass this test, a vehicle’s roof must be able to withstand the force of three times the vehicle’s weight (acceptable rating). The federal standard requires a roof to hold 1.5 times the vehicle’s weight.

New Ford Focus (Third generation)

In 2010 Ford decided to reunite both international and North American models by releasing the international Mk3 worldwide. The current North American version was thus discontinued, and the new model was launched simultaneously in North America and Europe in early 2011, both having started production late in 2010.
Ford unveiled the 2011 global Ford Focus at the 2010 North American International Auto Show. The car shown was a 5-door hatchback model, also debuting a new 2.0L direct injection I4 engine. A 5-door estate will also be available at launch. The new generation launched simultaneously in North America and Europe in early 2011, with production having started in late 2010. Production in Asia, Africa, and South America will follow later. Ford debuted the all-electric Ford Focus EV at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011 to compete with the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt. This new generation of Focus incorporates a redesigned cabin with improved materials, and new infotainment technologies that help to differentiate it from recently decontented competitors such as the Mk VI Volkswagen Jetta. Following the industry trend towards decontenting, the Focus sedan replaced its space-saving gas strut trunk hinges with cheaper, intrusive gooseneck hinges.
