Just before the Detroit Auto Show Chrysler has officially revealed the new upcoming 2011 Chrysler 300.

Oprah’s favorite things was highlighted last week when she gave away a week-long cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas (sister ship to Oasis of the Seas – two largest cruise ships in the world), a diamond watch, 3D TV and 5-years of Netflix. Today Oprah has introduced the brand-new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, which no one has seen in person yet (except spy photos), to all of her guests in the audience. This is reminiscent of when she gave away Pontiac G6’s to everyone back in 2004 and last year giving away a pair of VW Routans.

Looking for a compromise between a Porsche Carrera S and the Porsche GT3? Then the new 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS may be the answer. The new sexy hips flowing around classically-styles curvaceous sheet metal taken from the Carrera 4 outlines the new Carrera GTS sheltering a 3.8-liter flat-six putting out 408 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Better yet, that peak power delivery happens about 200rpm sooner than it does in the Carrera S. This power, 23hp more than the standard S and 27hp less than the GT3, gets directed to the rear-wheels through a standard 6-speed manual or an optional 7-speed PDK transmission.

Chrysler is due to abolish the ‘Sebring’ name in place of the name ‘200’ for its slightly redesigned 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan which will debut at the end of this year.
