DETROIT, Sept. 27 -- The turnstiles are open at the Paris convention center, but TheCarConnection.com readers don't have to fight the crowds to catch all the action at the Paris Motor Show. TCC has the web's most complete coverage, including all the major debuts, from the Ferrari F430 to the stunning Peugeot 907 and BMW's hydrogen record-breaker, the H2R.

And if you'd like to check the automotive crystal ball, see what TCC's spies have to show this week: pictures of the next Toyota Avalon and Alfa- Romeo's upcoming GTV.

Chevrolet is the world's biggest brand, responsible for one in sixteen cars sold around the globe. Yet except for a few Corvettes and SUVs, it's all but absent from the European market. At least it has been until now. Read this week's issue of TheCarConnection to see what Chevrolet has in mind for Europe -- with the help of South Korean carmaker, Daewoo.

Do diesels make the grade? There's a flood of new diesels hitting the market this year, ranging from the Jeep Liberty to Mercedes' E320 CDI. The timing is right. Drivers want better fuel economy, but is a diesel revival the right way to go about it? And is there a diesel right for you? TCC has some advice.

In this week's reviews, take a ride in the 2005 Ford F-150 4x4 Supercrew Lariat. It feels expensive, and it definitely is not cheap. But is it worth the price? Then burn rubber with the 2005 Mitsubishi Evolution MR. It's gotten a little more punch, and a little softer around the edges. Still, you better make it a decaf.
