It’s almost time for us to get our eyeballs on the full monty that is the redesigned 2012 Toyota Tacoma. Waiting stinks, though, doesn’t it? After all, this is the give-it-to-me-now Internet era, a mindset that applies to everything from music and movies to photos of next-generation automobiles. The Toyota Tacoma is no different, and unofficial images of the updated pickup have found their way to the web.

We think.

Our friend Mike Levine at PickupTrucks.com stumbled across a video of what looks to be an upcoming Tacoma commercial sans graphics. Toyota has yet to confirm what we’re looking at in the clip, which you can view for yourself here, but you can check it out in our gallery of stills. Regardless, the official images should arrive soon, since the 2012 Tacoma is slated to hit dealer lots by October.

This promo clip for the V10, five.two-liter, 560-horsepower, 197-mph Audi R8 GT Spyder isn’t really NSFW, but you’ll most likely watch it as if it ended up. Even though it’s enjoying, you may neglect about every thing else on Earth until finally somebody clears their throat behind you and asks, “What is that you happen to be watching?” You are going to replay it a number of occasions and make psychological notes like, “Oh yeah, that is my preferred part.” And when it ends it will always really feel like it’s also quickly. Two minutes of entirely SFW video clip is following the leap. But do not say we didn’t warn you.

Jaguar had us at 543 supercharged horsepower and 4.2 seconds to 60 miles per hour. Now, they’ve released this HD teaser video of the 2011 Jaguar XKR-S in action, and we’re more than smitten. Putting the bulging fenders, front and rear spoilers and grimacing vents of the XKR-S in action under glorious lighting is bordering on cruel.

Couple that with a fittingly European soundtrack augmented by the Jag’s gruesome rasp, and you have a recipe to make us weak in the knees. If you’re of the means and you react the same way we did to this video, save your pennies. The XKR-S goes on sale this summer. Check your pulse after watching the video after the break.

Avatar may have been a box-office king thanks in part to its wonderful use of 3D film-making. Hyundai, however, is not impressed by Mr. Cameron’s science-fiction epic and it’s decided to show-off the all-new Grandeur/Azera to the Korean public by way of a 4D commercial shown in theaters.

Hyundai wants those watching this clip to get the sensation that they’re actually behind the wheel of the lux’d-up full-size sedan. While we can’t get that feeling from watching a video on the internet, we can imagine where some well-placed mist and wind might show up to tantalize senses beyond just vision.

If you really want to try and recreate the 4D experience, have a friend on hand with a fan and a spray bottle then click past the jump to watch the clip. Thanks for the tip, Spark!

Curious about the new products that Chevy is bringing to the Paris Motor Show? You’ve already seen the Cruze hatchback, Aveo, Orlando and Captiva here on Autoblog, but you haven’t seen them in motion. More importantly, though, we see the first glimpses of these new cars’ interiors.

We’re kinda digging the gauge cluster on the Aveo (above), which has a very motorcycle-inspired look to its single large, round tachometer and digital cluster. Love it or hate it, the interior appears to be a major step forward from anything GM has ever put out in the subcompact class before. Similarly, the Cruze hatchback and Orlando have what appear to be nicely appointed two-tone duds.

Hit the jump to watch all four videos for yourself. The Cruze is batting lead-off, followed by the Captiva, Aveo and Orlando. And once you’ve taken in the videos, partake in the below poll by telling us which Cruze you prefer; the sedan or the five-door. It may not be a fair fight since the hot hatch is a “show car” with design elements that may not make production, but who says a tussle has to be fair?
