^^ Caliber is the replacement for the Neon.











2006 Hyundai Accent SR Turbo Concept

HOT DAMN

2/8/2006 7:01:25 PM

is the Caliber only going to have that 5 door look? or just the SRT?

2/8/2006 7:56:02 PM

all calibers will have that basic look, and it isn't a replacement for the neon, it just takes its spot as the cheap car for dodge. rumors are out there that a small sedan is in the works and will have the same basic powertrain. It is hard to judge the size of the caliber, but it is a little shorter than a neon, a little wider and a touch taller. it looks much bigger though.

2/8/2006 8:01:37 PM

if that Hyundai turbo is going to have an automatic, at least have it manumatic

2007 Toyota Tundra

Quote :

"Tundra has been super-sized in every metric of comparison with the vehicle it replaces. Its all-new, full-size platform will feature a significantly expanded wheelbase and an increase of 10 inches in overall length. Tundra will also gain nearly five inches in height and will be four full inches wider than before, placing it among the segment leaders in overall size. Buyers of the new Tundra will have a choice of three engines. In addition to the new 5.7-liter V8, the capable 4.0-liter V6 and the legendary 4.7-liter i-Force V8, both also built in Alabama, will be available."

Jesus, the more I look at it, the more aggressively sexier it looks.

That body paint is partly the reason. I don't believe I have ever seen a graphite (at least that shade) car before. And damn, those graphite wheels just accentuate the effect.

But I will tell you what... it is gorgeous and definitely one of the best looking 'CUV's/tall hatches, American or not.













2007 Saab Aero X Concept

[Design study]

Quote :

"The 400-hp, twin-turbo, BioPower V6 engine is fueled entirely by ethanol. First, there are no doors or windshield pillars. That's because the Saab Aero X adopts a cockpit canopy, just as you would see on a jet aircraft. It offers the Aero X pilot full 180 degree vision, and also facilitates entry and exit from its low-slung cabin. Inside, the Saab Aero X's cockpit also adds a new dimension to clean Scandinavian interior design by completely eliminating conventional dials and buttons. Instead, Saab has applied techniques derived from Swedish glass and precision instrument making, displaying data on glass-like acrylic 'clear zones' in graphic 3-D images. Computer simulations anticipate zero to 60mph/100 kph in just 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph/250 kph (limited)."

damnit, Mazda needs to hurry up and make something fast again

2/27/2006 6:12:40 PM

I still dont like the rear of that lambo.. the tail lights just arent as sleek as the rest of the car. I'd like to see some front or front 3/4 pics, too.

The Euro-spec civic R is too round and needs to be flattened a bit.

The Saab Aero is HOT but the cockpit-style entry is unrealistic for the real world That gauge-shot is sweet

The other recent ones, I don't really care for

Possible iteration of the Supra return, though its all bagged up like hell, you can pick up some more body lines than that rear shot. Toyota is also supposed to be working on a V10 supercar in the sub 4 second range from 0-60.

Report: Mercedes planning stunning 300 SL Gullwing revival

Quote :

"Is Mercedes gearing up for a retro throwback of its own? The latest issue of Germany’s AutoBild magazine features a cover story on an exciting new project reportedly underway at Mercedes — the spiritual revival of the legendary 300SL Gullwing coupe. So far, we’ve only got a scan from the cover of the magazine, and details remain scarce. As with all future product renderings — even from reliable sources — the final design of such products often varies a lot from initial artists’ sketches. Perhaps more important than the image itself, however, is the idea that Mercedes is planning to revive the Gullwing design. From this single image, it appears that the vehicle could slot somewhere between the SLK and the SL/CL models. We’ll update you when more information becomes available. "

Is BMW really planning a crossover coupe?

Quote :

"The idea of a four-door, four-seat, coupe-SUV crossover is certainly a strange one, but the German media insists BMW is planning such a vehicle. To date, Auto Motor und Sport, AutoWeb and AutoBild have said BMW is working on a crossover coupe to rival the Mercedes R-Class. BMW CEO Dr. Helmut Panke has confirmed an R-Class competitor is in the works, but he has not specified what form it will take. According to a new report by AutoBild, the vehicle will offer full seating for four people with the goal of each person riding in equal comfort. A fold-down bench seat will offer additional seating for short trips. Codenamed the LSC, the car appears similar to the Volkswagen Concept A. BMW reportedly scrapped plans for a two true van-like R-Class competitor, and instead has decided to focus on this strategy. Dr. Panke reportedly insisted that BMW “build no vans.” "

007’s 2007 Aston Martin DBS revealed

Quote :

"Aston Martin has unveiled the new DBS which will be driven by James Bond in the next 007 film, “Casino Royale.” In true Bond style, specific details of the new DBS remain top secret, although Aston Martin Design Director, Marek Reichman, said: “This car encapsulates a link between our elegant DB9 road car and the powerful DBR9 race car. It signals an evolutionary development of Aston Martin’s world renowned style and elegance.” “While hinting at our future design direction, the DBS also has very clear links with our heritage – it is instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin.” Aston Martin Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez added: “The DBS continues our proud and lengthy association with James Bond. “The DBS is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. It is explosive power in a black tie and has its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond.” Starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, “Casino Royale” is scheduled for release in November, 2006."

Nissan to unveil Murano GT-C, 350Z GT-S show cars

Quote :

"Nissan will use Europe’s Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 7-9) to showcase a race winning 350Z, two speed-themed concept cars. The first concept is the upgraded Murano GT-C — ‘grand touring concept’ — which has enhancements inside and out (engine boosted to 350 hp). Also on the roster is the 350Z GT-S concept, sporting a full body kit and enough performance upgrades to push it to 380 horsepower. The race winning GT500 350Z will also be on display. Nissan says the Murano GT-C and 350Z GT-S concepts could be produced if the response is positive."

Ferrari-fighting electric car gets $40 million funding

Quote :

"A Silicon Valley-based company called Tesla Motors has received $40 million in venture funding from a number of major investors, including VantagePoint Venture Partners and Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Tesla is secretly working on an electric sports car that insiders say can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just four seconds — that’s enough to challenge a Ferrari F430, Porsche Carrera S, or BMW M5. It will also have a range of 250 miles — an impressive figure for an all-electric car. Founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in June 2003, the San Carlos startup said this week that it will officially unveil the car on July 12th in Santa Monica."

Quote :

"Maserati today announced production of the MC12 Corsa, a supercar build-to-order for a select number of Maserati clients. The MC12 Corsa has been developed from the MC12 GT1 type which won the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers Cup. The car will cost 1 million euros (over $1.2 million). Like the Ferrari FXX, the car is meant for track use only, so the Bugatti Veryron doesn’t have too much to worry about. Power comes from a 6.0-liter V12 with 755 hp. The car weighs just 2,535 pounds thanks to its lightweight carbon-fiber body. Total production of the Maserati MC12 Corsa will not exceed 12 units worldwide."

Tuner pushes Elise to sub-3-second 0-60

Quote :

"Tuner Forcedfed is offering kits to boost the lightweight Lotus Elise from 190 horsepower to 275 or 380 horses. Forcedfed’s “275? kit is priced at $8,995. Meanwhile, the full “380R” package costs even more than the car — $44,995 for the kit. (The Elise costs $42,000). Because the Elise weighs just 2,500 pounds, 380 horsepower is good to take the car to 60 mph in less than three seconds. "We don't know of a car that will keep up with it in a straight line up to 150 miles per hour," said Modica, whose company is based at Livermore, Calif."

Is this guy serious???? Is he saying the Veyron couldn't keep up with it??? The Veyron will kick its ass, as will some other cars as well, such as the Koenigsegg, and some modded Ferraris, Vipers, etc.
