Jeep SRT8 vs Audi R8 V10 vs Nissan GT-R vs BMW X6M in Russia
Russia is quickly becoming the home of exotic drag racing. This video shows an incredible 1000 horsepower Jeep SRT8 racing against a bone stock Audi R8 V10, Switzer Nissan GT-R with 850 horsepower, and a Evotech 620 horsepower BMW X6M. Unlike here in the United States, these races occur on a special 1 mile long track so you get to really see the cars in action.
The video is recorded in HD and looks fantastic.

10 Best Car Interiors of 2011 by Ward’s Auto
Every year, Ward's AutoWorld magazine picks the 10 best car interiors. Their picks for 2011 gave us a bit of a surprise as there are 4 interiors from American manufactures which typically is reserved for imports. The American car companies have really stepped up their game. One unsurprising choice is the Chevy Cruze, but it's hard to imagine it was picked as one of the best interiors when there is a safety recall for their steering wheel falling off.
After looking over 51 interiors, the editors of Wards chose these ten as the best interiors of 2011:
Audi A8
BMW X3 xDrive35i
Chevrolet Cruze 2LT RS
Dodge Charger Rallye Plus
Ford Focus Titanium
Honda Odyssey Elite
Hyundai Elantra Limited
Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit
Kia Optima EX
Volvo S60
These were chosen based on many things, but the main points were materials, ergonomics, safety, comfort, fit-and-finish, overall value, human-machine interaction, and aesthetics.
Here is a video of the Audi R8 interior review
I agree with the choices of the interiors and am amazed by the interior of the Kia Optima. They have really done a great job making this car appealing to the masses and one of the most appealing in it's segment, and even beyond.
