This weekend Formula 1 teams head to Monza in Italy for the 2011 Italian Grand Prix.

The BMW X6 made waves when it was first launched back in 2008. Here was a big SUV but with almost no practicability, thanks mostly to its limited four-seat layout but also due to its smallish trunk.

In the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V, the LSA engine cranks out 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque.

In order to compete with the brand new 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class arriving next year, BMW will launch a facelifted version of its 7-Series, which has been spied testing in prototype form.
