The 4-seater rotary sports car is the answer to the demands for a self-assured, advanced sports vehicle. And Mazda Senku offers a radical new direction in this genre. To meet and surpass the challenges of increasing environmental and safety requirements, as well as diversification of customer demands, Mazda continues to offer unrivalled driving dynamics while achieving harmony with changes in society.

hey guys, when is the toronto auto show? who's going? i'm excited about this auto show..but I dont think the enclave is going to make it (it's going to be somewhere else at the end of january and february I think) any debuts during the toronto autoshow?

U.S. automakers show new cars in China Christine Tierney / The Detroit News Beijing -- General Motors Co. and its Chinese venture partners are displaying 37 production and concept vehicles at the Auto China 2010 show here, including a Chevrolet Volt MPV5 electric crossover making its global debut. GM is introducing a Chevrolet-badged hatchback called the New Sail, too. Its Aveo RS show car, hinting at the next-generation Aveo subcompact, is being shown in China for the first time. GM is showing three Buick models built on the automaker's global platforms: an Excelle XT hatchback, and the Regal and LaCrosse sedans. It will highlight the 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter turbocha…

It looks like Chrysler wants something even bigger than the huge test track that they had at last year’s show and GM has “agreed” to split up their brands at the now 1.2-million square-foot Chicago Auto Show next year. Cadillac, HUMMER and Saab will be moving into the North Hall, along with the luxury imports. We can look at this two ways: it sucks that GM, which has been on a bender to remind everyone what brands are GMs, has to split up their luxury marques BUT having them nestled in with the import luxury brands could be a boon for Sabb and Cadillac. http://wardsauto.com/ar/auto_chicago_auto_show_6/index.htm

General Motors There's no holiday break for the folks at GM — they have much too much going on with the Los Angeles and Detroit auto shows around the corner. Their all-new sport-utes based on the GMT-900 platform will show up at the Los Angeles show in the form of a Chevrolet Suburban and a GMC Yukon XL. Joining the Suburban in L.A. will be the high-performance Pontiac Solstice GXP. While these models are important, GM saved the really big bling for their homies. • Buick Enclave The all-new Buick Enclave is the first of several full-size crossovers to be based on GM's new Lambda platform. The eight-passenger will utilize 3.9-liter V6 and 5.3-liter V8 engines (wi…

NISSAN AT THE TOKYO MOTOR SHOW 2005 – GT-R PROTO At a glance: Ultimate driving pleasure Exterior design close to final Official launch set for 2007 At the 35th Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, Nissan unveiled the GT-R Concept, confirming that the GT-R legend would be continued into the 21st century. Then, at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show in 2003, Nissan announced the next-generation GT-R would be rolled out in 2007. Now with the launch of the production model just two years away, the development of the new GT-R has moved ahead again with the reveal of the GT-R PROTO. Ultimate driving pleasure In essence, driving pleasure means that a car responds faithfully to …

Paris Preview: Lamborghini Gallardo Nera Lamborghini at the Paris Motor Show will present the new special edition Gallardo Nera — a limited-production version of the popular super coupe. [...] The Nera is something of a showcase of Lamborghini's personalization choices available to all Gallardo customers. The vehicle features a glossy black paint scheme with matte black inserts. The Nera has the same 520 horsepower V10 engine as the standard Gallardo, and the standard all-wheel-drive system. A total of 185 units will be produced.

Page 10 in Hemmings said there will be dueling concepts at the NAIAS, the Challenger and the Camaro. Even after all the internet hype and inside info I wasnt convinced, I would still feel better if GM had made an official announcement but I hear maybe after the New Year due to that Canada mess. I dont care about retro, I just want at least the GTOs performance IRS and some sick styling. I really liked the leaked pictures. So it looks like many of us will get our wish soon and maybe GM will get some much needed positive press.

Anyone going to Carlisle this week? If so, let me know what day you'll be there.

So in GM's anouncement earlier this week it was stated that the Efiji,antar concept , Camaro concept , and a couple other recently debued concept were to be shown. So it that it??? I know well see the H4 & G8 anything else? I was really hoping for more maybe I dunno... Impala camaro convertable rwd g6 replacement Buick rwd stingray,bluedevil,z07 chevy Lamda

The O.C. (CA) auto show starts Wednesday evening. Do any of the southern California guys wanna try to get together next weekend on Saturday to go together? What would be cool is to arrange an early morning meet in Newport Beach at the Crystal Cove car show on PCH.....maybe grab breakfast.....then all make our way to Anaheim for the auto show. I'm probably for sure going to be there Thursday late-afternoon/evening with OCCarNut.....but maybe a weekend C&G gettogether would be cool....! Let me know by PM or post on here and I'll try to set something up. You guys up further north in L.A......TRUST ME.....getting up early to come down to Newport Beach by 7am is …

Canadian racing hero Ron Fellows is saluted by Chevrolet with the first-ever “signed special edition” model in the Corvette’s 54-year history. Check it out here. I think it's great to see Chevrolet offer this Z06 to respect the career of Ron Fellows

Went to the new car show downtown today, wandered around a couple hours. Mercedes-Benz was (inexplicably) absent, as was SAAB (understandably) Impressions: GM: Sat in 4 different Camaros, incl. the Transformer edition. Hard to see out of, but overall pretty comfortable. The interior trim and materials look better in person than in the pics, IMHO. Surprised how tiny the trunk opening is relative to the size of the trunk lid. They had a gorgeous dark red '10 ZR1. Was locked and covered in fingerprints. The red Gran Sport convertible was sweet. Loved the CTS wagon. First I've seen, in CTS advert red..love that color. Nice how the rear seat folds flat. Sat in a…

Could this hint at the next TT? The Shooting Brake Concept is a study vehicle offering a further trailblazing interpretation of Audi's current formal idiom, blending the powerful dynamism of a sports car with a new sense of spaciousness and greater functionality. With its powerful 250 bhp, 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine and quattro permanent four-wheel drive, the Shooting Brake Concept produces a quality of road behaviour that in every respect lives up to its visual impact. The study vehicle sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds, and its top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h.

Next gen Escape anyone?

In 2006, there will be TWO L.A. Int'l Auto Shows.....the one in January, '06 that typically competes with Detroit.....and the L.A. show in November, '06 (which will preview '07) which is representative of the decision by L.A. show executives not to interfere with Detroit in January. The new November timing will be permanent for the L.A. show. My question is....knowing that Detroit, L.A., Chicago, and N.Y are the four largest auto shows in the country, how will L.A.'s move to November affect the rollout of new concepts and production cars for the coming year? Will most of the major manufacturers still wait until January and the NAIAS to showcase ever…

August 29, 2005 -- Torrance, CA -- Toyota Motor Marketing Europe (TMME) will stage the world premier of the all-new RAV4 sport utility vehicle (SUV) and unveil the all-new Yaris three-door and five-door liftbacks, at a press conference at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Both vehicles featured at the press conference will have European specifications. Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc. will launch the all-new RAV4, its most affordable SUV, this fall for the 2006 model year. The completely restyled and reengineered third generation RAV4 will feature significantly improved performance and a larger, more refined and modern interior when it goes on sale. The al…

Went to the auto show today... GM had none of their new concepts, and only two '08 models --a Malibu LTZ and Enclave-- (no '08 CTS, '08 G8) on display. The Camaro concept was there in red, looks great in red. The Malibu and Enclave looked really, really good. The G6 convertible looks better in person, neat in top-up hardtop mode. The G6 GXP sedan, on the other hand...giant ugly grilles. Cadillac had some hotties talking up the cars. Over at the Ford stand, the Lincoln MKR and Ford Interceptor were in attendance, along with a concept coupe (don't recall it's name, kind of like a modern Cobra Daytona? GR-S or something?). The '08 Focus 4dr was there, along w…

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=107193 Rumor has it that the C30's inspiration will come from this safety concept: Volvo's Smallest C30 Hatch to Debut at Detroit Show Date Posted 09-09-2005 DETROIT — Volvo will pull the wraps off its newest — and smallest — vehicle, the C30, in January at the North American International Auto Show here. The C30 will go on sale next fall in the United States as a 2007 model. Volvo first announced its intention earlier this year to launch the C30 at the Detroit show but provided few details. Sources say the car will be built on Ford's C1 global small-car platform, which underpins the Volvo S40 sedan and…

I was driving back from Bowling Green and missed the Anaheim show. OCCarNut gave me some info about the show.....did anyone else go? I hear that GM debuted the Yukon and Denali there. OCCarNut said the interiors were fantastic...and even had decent materials. On the flip side, he was less-than-enthusiastic about the Lucerne he say in person...

Detroit show preview: Mercedes-Benz GL450; big GL in a class all by itself GREG KABLE Posted Date: 12/8/05 Big, bold and brassy—that’s the best way to describe the new American-built Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, revealed here officially for the first time prior to its first public outing at next month’s North American International Auto Show. The luxuriously-equipped four-wheel drive goes into production as the third all-new model from Mercedes’ plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and goes on sale across North America in April. Unlike the vault-like, truck-based, G-Class (aka Gelaendewagen), GL-Class uses car-like unibody construction to keep weight in check and to allo…

I've always wondered what recent attendance figures were out there for auto show......anyone know? I know the big ones are Detroit, LA, Chicago, and New York......

The Jetta wagon made a showing at the corner of the VW tent. It was a pre-production model, and as so, was locked. Giant pizza slice tailamps look wierd in person as much as in pictures.

The Opel CorsaVan to premiere at the Paris Auto Show:

http://www.thecarconnection.com/Auto_News/...S286.A9699.html

Paris Preview: Audi Q7 V12 TDI Friday, we brought you the initial report that Audi would be dropping a 6.0-liter V12 TDI based on it's Le Mans-winning engine into the Q7 SUV. That report has been confirmed today with the release of additional details and photos from Audi, which will publicly unveil the beast later this month at the Paris show. Our initial report rated the car at 500 hp, but it's actually just shy, at 493 (the 500 rating is in PS). It also generates 1000 Nm / 738 lb-ft of torque, so if you ever feel inclined to pull your house off its foundation, you'll be well-prepped to give it the 'ol college try (if the car makes it to this side of the Atlantic). …

Well, just a reminder to C&G, 2007 ends in 2 weeks, and then the 2008 Detroit Auto show is shortly after that. Looks like it is time for a new "2008 Auto Show Coverage" section. Happy Almost New Year!

Lineup lighter for Chicago show For second year in Second City, event is less eventful Rick Kranz Automotive News -- February 8, 2010 - 12:01 am ET For the second straight year, the Chicago Auto Show will suffer the effects of a tough economy and scaled-back spending. Chicago has never had every automaker, but some noticeable names are missing this year. Hyundai, Volkswagen, Nissan and Chrysler Group will not have press conferences or debuts. But Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet are expected to use Chicago to roll out several updates of current models that will land in dealerships in the coming months. Chevrolet plans to introduce its next-generation Silverado heavy…

I attended an all-Mack truck show (although it's listed as "all-Mack", GMC, Kenworth, Ford and other manufacturer trucks were welcome too) at Gerhart's in Lititz, PA - not far from Lancaster. Here are just a few of the pictures I took (I took 119 total); enjoy!! More...

Jessica and I went to the New England International Auto Show on Sunday (yesterday) It was sweet! This is also my first real auto show that I've been to. Since it's late and I have almost 200 photos to go through...I'll start posting tomorrow! I'll also post some in-depth comments on various vehicles I sat in, including the Nitro, 300 SRT-8, Equinox, LS, Fusion, Navigator, Elantra, XK, Sebring Limited, Ram Mega Cab, Tundra and several GMT-900s including the Silverado. A few other highlights: I have one major complaint about the GMT-900s...why do none of them have a driver's side grab-handle? Even the Chevy representative couldn't figure it out. I made a Buick re…

I'm totally excited.......while it certainly won't have the impact of L.A. or Detroit, it is the first auto show of the season for me (I was out of town on business during the O.C. auto show.) I'm sure the GMT-900s will be there......as well as Lucerne, DTS, etc. The show runs from Wednesday, 12-28-05 until Sunday, 1-1-06.

GM to Unveil 2 New Concept Cars in China Associated Press 04.02.07, 6:14 AM ET General Motors Corp. will unveil a new pair of concept cars in its Chevrolet and Buick lines at this month's Shanghai Auto Show, GM China said Monday. The cars will be among 40 vehicles the company and its Chinese joint venture partners plan to display as GM increasingly looks to China to offset sluggish sales and crippling legacy costs elsewhere. GM said the concept cars include the latest version of the Chevrolet Volt, the company's extended-range electric passenger vehicle which was introduced in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It said the Buick model w…

From Autoweek: New Volkswagen honcho Wolfgang Bernhard is big on dreams: working on them, driving them, making them come true, and VW is clearly dreaming big with its newest drop-top, which went from concept (in the form of the Concept C) to production reality in just 18 months. The four-place cabrio/coupe features a nifty, retractable five-section hardtop roof, five engine choices ranging from 115 to 250 hp and transmission options including the DSG direct-shift gearbox. The Eos will launch next spring in Europe and should hit the States sometime later in '06.

When and were does the new silverado debut? Thanks

VW’s 2009 Iroc Coupe Scirocco successor to premiere at Paris By GREG KABLE AutoWeek | Published 08/24/06, 9:57 am et Wolfgang Bernhard has barely warmed the seat as Volkswagen chairman and he is already attacking the market with products he hopes make the German automaker cool again. Look for proof in the reborn Scirocco coupe—dubbed Iroc—which makes its global debut in Paris in September. If Bernhard’s plan comes to fruition, it will do for VW what the TT did for Audi—provide the German carmaker with a modern, relevant and desirable image-building model. Iroc is planned for North American showrooms by the end of 2008, the same year VW launches its Land Rove…

So, we'll start this 4 months early... What are you hoping for/expecting to come around this next autoshow season? I'm hoping for the following... GM: Camaro production (or convertible), Impala concept, GTO concept (I want to see at least two Zetas + Camaro) Ford: Mercury Cougar on Mustang platform DC: 2008 Viper Mazda: RX8/RX7 successor Toyota: RWD Sportscar (Supra?) Mitsubishi: EVO X Nissan: 350Z redesign and/or Skyline production That's pretty much all I'm asking for, and I have a feeling most of these will happen. *Note: I didn't include trucks, SUVs, etc. simply because I could care less. The above are what I personally hope for.

2006 British International Motor Show London show wows with world debuts By JULIAN RENDELL AutoWeek | Published 07/25/06, 1:01 pm et -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturn desperately needs a good small car, but it won’t be based on the European-built Corsa hatchback from General Motors’ Vauxhall subsidiary.

I had the pleasure of attending the C7Performance Fall Tour on Sunday October 25, 2009. I was going to originally drive my Achieva (and debut my new Z24 wheels), but the car is not ready in time (funding lol). I went shotgun in a friends 1984 Camaro Z28, with fellow Camaro club ppl. The cruise is mainly for imports, but open to all makes. About 500 cars showed up. The starting point was the AMC movie theatre lot in Whitby, Ontario, and we then drove in groups to Kawartha Speedway in Peterborough, Ontario. A beautiful, scenic fall drive! Those who wanted to, were able to do 3 laps for $2 at the track. GM Canada had its new models at the event, and one GM tech …

Hey everyone, for my 16th birthday my parents just surprised me today that they are taking me to detroit for the NAIAS. Every year we got to a local show like Philly and i just wanted to ask some questions to others who have been to the Detroit show before. Are there cars on the floors and open that you can sit in? How crowded does it get on public days? Any other feedback of the show would be great. Thanks guys.

Las Vegas - GM's small-vehicle lineup will make a big impact at this year's Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show, proving that with the right combination of technology, great products and accessories, it's possible to pack performance, style and fuel economy into one exciting package. Among the 25 smaller vehicles taking center stage at SEMA are customized versions of Chevrolet's new hit HHR and Cobalt; the new Pontiac Solstice and G6; the Saturn Ion and upcoming Sky; and the new, smaller HUMMER H3. These fuel-efficient vehicles are the perfect canvas for customizers who'd rather spend their money on a killer audio system than at the pu…

Subaru to show three-door, hybrid hatchback concept at upcoming Tokyo show AUTOWEEK Posted Date: 9/28/05 At the 39th Tokyo Motor Show, Subaru will show a concept car called B5-TPH, a three-door hatchback equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter flat four and parallel hybrid systems. Subaru said it wanted to do a car for long-weekend getaways for couples, and thus designed a cross between a sport wagon and SUV. Incorporating Subaru’s Symmetrical All Wheel Drive (AWD), the concept car provides an efficiency and comfort glimpse of a future sport specialty car that further enriches the efficiency and comfort. The turbo parallel hybrid (TPH) power train combines an ele…

Making its North American debut, here are pictures of the 2009 Kia Soul. I took these today at the Georgian College Autoshow in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. 2 versions were shown (both pre-production and locked). The white was a regular model with nicer wheels. The grey one was tricked out with red dash, seats and wheel spokes. I had expected to see the Forte today, so their slogan really holds true!

....

Here are pictures of the 2009 Dodge Challenger SXT. I took these today at the Georgian College Autoshow in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. It is an evaluation model to guage public opinion on what a special package should include. I assume this would be a Canada only appearance package. The car had two different wheels. On the passenger side were 18" MOPAR wheels, while the drives side had 18" chrome clad aluminum wheels. Patrons were asked to fill out a survey on which they liked best, as well as should a stripe be included and at what price. I like the MOPAR wheels, and think it should have a stripe package. The first picture explains everything:

Here are pictures of the 2009 Suzuki Equator pickup. I took these today at the Georgian College Autoshow in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. A new truck for Suzuki, based on the Nissan Frontier. Kris tested out the bed.
