This week on AutoGuide.com, our 2015 Car of the Year Award nominees were announced, and they naturally attracted the most attention. 

Competing for the overall title are the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Volkswagen GTI, the Subaru WRX STI, the Audi A3 and finally the Hyundai Genesis. Each one of these cars is either all new or significantly updated for the 2015 model year, and each one is good in its own way. But which car will be named the AutoGuide.com Car of the Year award? Check back on Monday, Dec.15 to find out.

The 2015 Chevy Trax is on its way to the US, and it's attracting some eyeballs. The new small crossover from Chevrolet gets its power from a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque.

The massive Infiniti QX80 captures the third spot this week. With 400 hp and and a $80,000 price tag, this SUV is not one to be missed.

Austrain motorcycle maker KTM and German racing team Reiter Engineering are working on an all-new sports car will be competing in the U.S.

Earlier last month, the companies teased a rendering for its project and has now released a little more information on their GT4 race car that will be homologated from SRO and Pirelli World Challenge. The newest render released by the two companies points to the final design of the car and Hans Reiter has said that it will be powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI engine with approximately 320 hp.

Aiming to compete in the Pirelli World Challenge GT-S class, the powerplant will be mated to a sequential six-speed Holinger gearbox with paddle shift and the car itself will be equipped with a racing ABS system while weight will be consistent with current SRO GT4 practices. The car will be based on the existing KTM X-Bow and the companies will be heading for testing next spring.

"When you reflect on what the customer is being offered here in terms of the most modern racing technology, together with a very impressive safety concept, then you can really speak about it being exceptionally good value for money," said Reiter."
