2008 Saab Turbo X

We don't mean to confuse you — though perhaps that's Saab's aim — but the Turbo X is none other than a limited edition of the company's recently updated 9-3 sedan. The big difference is that the Turbo X is the first application of Saab's new all-wheel-drive system that they're naming — so originally — XWD. This setup was designed by Saab in Sweden and differs from the all-wheel-drive system used in models like the recently discontinued 9-2X and the current 9-7X.

The Turbo X will be a limited-edition model, all in black, but an all-wheel-drive option will become available on the regular 9-3 at roughly the same time in 2008. The Turbo X also gets a sport-tuned chassis and a rear limited slip differential that drivers can control. The limited run of the Turbo X will come only in black with unique wheels and more aerodynamic body panels. GM says the Turbo X is available for order.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

Rolls-Royce introduced its latest Phantom Drophead Coupe — aka convertible — to rave reviews from the automotive elite last year. The big, brutish, brush-steel-finished coach led to big sales for Rolls-Royce. So what does the British carmaker do to follow it up? Meet the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe.

This is the "sporty" version of the Phantom. The company promises this is "the most driver-oriented model in the Phantom line." It's shorter, has a stiffer body and still has a huge V-12 engine with 531 pounds-feet of torque under the bonnet.

Full specs haven't been released yet, but highlights include rear-opening doors, which the company says strengthen the body. A picnic boot around back flips down so you don't get your trousers soiled when picnicking. And topping off the ultra-luxurious cabin is a headliner pinpointed with dozens of LEDs to create a star-filled night sky. We're not sure if that feature is standard or optional. We also don't know how much the Coupe will cost, but expect it to hover around $400,000.
