DETROIT, Nov. 1, 2004 -- Most folks have finally figured out who to vote for tomorrow, but making the right choice isn't nearly as easy when picking a car, truck or crossover. In this week's issue of TheCarConnection.com, you'll get some help deciding how to vote with your pocketbook.

Start with an exclusive preview of the next-generation BMW 3-Series. The fifth generation of the hot-selling compact follows the same pattern of each successive update from BMW, with more technology, more performance, and more power than its predecessor.

Then, if blistering speed is what turns out your vote, take a spin in the newest update of Porsche's classic 911 sports car.

If you're willing to wait, get a glimpse of what's up for election in '06 and '07. TCC's spies have the goods on the 2006 Ferrari 600 Maranello, and the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe and Yukon SUVs.

GM is slashing SUV production, and these cutbacks in Detroit will mean fewer jobs, less business.
