What's New: SEMA, BMW X5 and MKZ

SEMA is history-and we're still trying to catch up with the acres of wheels, chips, diamond-encrusted cars and diamond-encrusted gals we saw in Vegas. You can see what SEMA wrought inside TCC today, along with the latest on October sales and the new global warming report from Europe. Our spies have caught the new Benz GLK, along with the Ferrari Dino and Ford Escape. And TCC's test team has driven the 2007 BMW X5, the 2007 Lincoln MKZ, the 2007 Audi S6 and the 2007 Suzuki XL7 this week. See what you missed in last week's headlines in our Week in Reverse. It's all here at TheCarConnection.com-get in the driver's seat.
