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.

Ultimate driving pleasure In essence, driving pleasure means that a car responds faithfully to …

OK are we actually going to do this? If so we need to pick a date that everyone can attend. I can only do the last week of it, and preferably on that Friday (no classes; free all day). We really should make it work; it would be fun. I'm in, who else?

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…

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…

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…

This past week was the New England International Auto show at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Yesterday Myself, my girlfriend, Sixty8, and his daughter spent the day touring the various displays. This year was bigger and better than the last time I went (two years ago), with more cars, a custom section, and a classic section featuring among other things, a Stanley Steamer and a Duesenberg Model J. Sixty8, not surprisingly, spent most of the time around the classics, while my girlfriend watched his daughter and waited in line with Sixty8 and his daughter so she could play Gran Turismo in some floating Subaru thing. Meanwhile I went and checked out the new …

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.

I'm organizing a big show on July 13 at Sears in Hicksville, NY. This is looking every day to be a very big show so if you're anywhere nearby be sure to bring your ride. See the attached poster for all info.

Car plus sportswear fashion with a Remix Generation feeling ·Projecting an atmosphere inspired by adidas Japan’s Remix Generation seeks comfort, individual style and the freedom to combine whatever, whenever. Nissan designers followed the same path in dreaming up the Note inspired by adidas. Having observed young people’s attachment to sportswear as icons of their everyday lives, the designers considered how cars could be used in similar nonchalant fashion. Inspired by the adidas sports brand, they infused this carefree lifestyle into interior and exterior design and materials. Looking at cars through Remix Generation eyes Sportswear must guarantee ease of moveme…

Kia Cee'd SW wagon version being introduced at the Paris Auto Show:

http://www.leftlanenews.com/north-american...-announced.html I'm going to go out on a limb and say: COTY: CTS-V TOTY: X6 (I think it'll win for being different even though I'd like to see Vue Hybrid take this)

So Thursday 68 called me up and asked me if I wanted to go to Kimball's, it was the 2nd last one of the season. Since I've only been to one car show this year and it was tiny I gladly went. I'd only been to Kimball's once and it had been "canceled" due to bad weather that never happened, so there were only a few cars. This time was much different. I took lots of photos, so you've been warned!

To be shown at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Show: Mitsubishi Concept X: Mitsubishi Outlander: Mitsubishi Concept-D:5:

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…

Some pictures of a base 2008 Ford Focus sedan at the Georgian College Autoshow in Barrie Ontario. Interior looks much nicer than before, and it flows together nicely. Fit and finish is ok, although the housing for the radio screen was loose. Exterior didn't have the chrome vents, and was very spartan.

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…

Looks better than I thought it would. The BMW Z4 Coupe concept:

Here are pictures of the 2009 Volkswagen Routan and CC. I took these today at the Georgian College Autoshow in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. The Routan is pretty nice for a dressed up Chrysler. Open the hood, and it could be a Caravan though. The CC (no longer called Passat CC) is by far one of the sexiest cars this year. It was my favorite of the show (as well as at NAIAS), and one I would pay to own. Simply put, my favorite car of 2008!

Introduced today at the Montreal Autoshow in Canada, here is Pontiacs version of the Aveo 5. The Pontiac Wave5 http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/08montreal/080118-16.htm

One of the Mercedes CLS sedans up on a display turntable had a burned-out taillamp. I mentioned it very conspicuously to my father, who laughed out loud, which prompted one of the Mercedes reps to climb up and turn the lights off! Also, walking through the VW section, I heard three seperate conversations about mediocre VW customer service and quality. Nice. A few others... *Quite an interest in the Lucerne from more than your typical Buick clientele. *Nice comments regarding the Solstice, Torrent, Terraza, LaCrosse, HHr, Impala, and DTS. *A $35k-ish Charger R/T and $30k Mercury Montego both have hood props?! C'mon... *Civic coupe is just...…

Unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show, evidently, for the European market. Interesting use of a name from Ford's past. The Ford Galaxy people carrier.

Jeep Patriot Concept:

when and where will it debut?

The Chevrolet Traverse made its official Canadian debut at the Canadian International Autoshow in Toronto. Here are some pictures I took yesterday. They didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but they give you an idea. This newest Lambda looks very sharp in person! I will take better pictures tommorow.

2007 Subaru Legacy, detail changes:

Skoda Yeti:

KABURA RWD Sports coupe. http://www.mph-online.com/web/prtranslated/00316 CX-7 details http://www.mph-online.com/web/prtranslated/00315 Early thoughts, 244 hp turbo 4 cylinder, with 6 speed automatic and available awd in the CX7 plus the looks and nice interior of Mazda. It might be a huge hit.

I like what Citroen is doing these days. Dramatically beautiful concept. C-Matisse.

November 30, 2005 Glimpse into the 2006 Detroit auto show. by Mathieu St-Pierre , Auto123.com As is the case every year, the North American International Auto Show is quite the show. At this point, 6 weeks away from the car event of the continent, over 30 unveilings have been scheduled. For the 2005 show, all the car manufacturers combined for just over 60 premiers and concepts. This means that we should expect the number to double over the next few weeks for the 2006 Extravaganza. So far, nearly every builder that sells their product in North America has indicated that they will have something for everyone. Here is a brief list of what to expect: Audi Q7 SUV…

3/10 This autoshow season has SUCKED big time.

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.

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.

Be with C&G as we start our coverage in under one week of the 2006 North American International Auto Show live from Detroit, Michigan and surrounding metro areas. Myself and C&G member Chris Pauwels (featured in PHR and all over the web!) will be covering GM's invite only event at the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, Michigan on Sunday, January the 8th.

We promise to have everything you will need for this years auto show debuts. Check with us on the 9th as we provide your exclusive…

I thought it'd be good to start a list of everything we might see this upcoming auto show season. This list isn't complete by any means, and I didn't list what show that each vehicle will debut at since most aren't known for sure. The one's with question marks are just guesses and are by no means for sure going to debut. Everyone can add to the list since I probably will forget a lot of things, so just post what I forgot then I'll edit this post. I decided to do it by corporation: GM Buick Enclave LaCrosse Super (?) Cadillac Escalade/ESV/EXT Chevy Suburban Silverado (?) Camaro (concept) Avalanche Aveo (?) (North American d…

Hey you CA boys......don't forget that the Inland Empire Auto Show started yesterday and runs through this Sunday out in Ontario in San Bernardino County...... http://www.ieautoshow.com/ The show is small enough not to expect any new intros, etc., but if you want a bit more touching, rubbing, and stroking of the current cars out there on the market, head out to The I.E.....! I'm going on Saturday.....will probably be there from noon through the afternoon.......

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!

....

This was my first time seeing the coupe in person. Both variants look much better in the flesh than pictures show. The rear styling on the sedan is pretty awkward looking though! Interior materials and fit and finish is very good. The wall of buttons and general style is not that fantastic. It gives of a kind of "not bad but not great" vibe. I don't know why, but the passenger side airbag cover came off completely. I swear I wasn't trying to break anything! Note the granny special gold Accord in the tent.

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

Actually, it's going on now, I should be at Duggan's having a few but I'm not, I'm here and that's that. So, who from C&G (GM employees, visitors, etc) will be heading down? I will be Friday & Saturday night draped in C&G merchandise. I shouldnt be too hard to find. I should add I've already met Monte today from the old boards today across the street from the Tech Center at National Coney Island. One cool dude there!
