2008 Bentley Brooklands Coupe

This is the introduction of the new car by Bentley and it is done at the New York Auto show which took place earlier this year. The look of the car is something pretty typical for Bentley, but that only means one thing, extraordinary for everyone else. Enjoy this eye candy!

Peugeot 308 Spy Shots

These are the three spy shots that are the first official images of the Peugeot 308, which is set to make its debut on the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The pictures are taken by Automedia.

The Peugeot here is hidden with the green covers, because the guys from the company don't want the public to know that its the new car. These pictures were taken while the company was at Africa trying to shoot a commercial.

New York Auto Show - Impreza saloon booted out in UK!

Neither the four-door version of the new car nor the sporty WRX variant will make it to British showrooms.

We revealed details of the all-new line-up last week (Top Story, Issue 955), and the family car was displayed at the New York Motor Show in both hatchback and saloon guises. However, the booted model won't come to the UK as the brand seeks to rival the Honda Civic and VW Golf, which both sell in greater numbers with five doors rather than four.

A spokesman said: "We've sold more saloons in the UK as our rally car has always been a four-door, but the next WRC Impreza will be a hatch."

While normally aspirated 1.5 and 2.0-litre five-doors arrive towards the end of the year, performance fans will have to wait until 2008 for the hot STi model. This will deliver 300bhp from its turbocharged 2.5-litre boxer engine.

That means the 225bhp WRX available in the US will be axed here. "We're trying to sell more normally aspirated cars and lower the range's average CO2 output," added the spokesman.

Concept cars in the Geneva auto show

There are a lot of new concept cars in this year's 77th International Motor Show in Geneva. The car you see to the left is a Mazda Hakaze. It is a new concept car by Mazda that looks like it can go in mass production. I think that the designers at Mazda did a very good job with this concept, because not only is it stylish, but it also looks very useful and versatile. Mazda manged to combine some very stylish looks, that are highlighted by the Lamborghini style doors, with some very familiar to us features like the third row seats that fall forward to make more room.
This car, with its rugged yet stylish design, will be
one of the cars that we will see a lot from in the near future, at least that is what I think. If Mazda puts a reasonable price tag on this SUV I am sure that a lot of people will consider buying it, I know I will...












Now lets take a look at the competition. This is a Assystem City Car. You can decide for yourself, but I think this is one of the worst looking cars of the century. I mean sure it has Lambo styled doors, but that's not what makes a care great. This car looks like an unfinished mini van, and I am not saying that in a bad way. If you want to make a concept car, the car needs to look fast even when its not moving, your car needs to look futuristic and mysterious. Also just for the fun of it, it should have a lot of useless gadgets, I mean after all it is a car of the future, and sadly this car has none of that. Now you might see my point of view better, but I don't know who would like this car anyway.

Now lets move on to a car that is the absolute definition of a "concept car". This is the new concept from Peugeot. This car has the futuristic look that I was talking about, it also has the look of a really fast car, and that is what a concept car should be. Concept cars should not be all about being useful and serving a purpose. They should be about looking cool, and unique and this car not only achieves that purpose, but I can easily say that it surpasses it by much.

Here is another great view of the Peugeot.













Here are some pictures of the other concepts from the show.

I think I am in love...






Cool a flying car!



The first flying car is the first convertible flying car, how cool is that !?



Well these are some of the coolest rides that you will probably never see on the streets, or at least not for a long time, but hey its a little window that lets us see into the future and its cars the coolest thing ever!

Highlights From The Geneva Auto Show

Yup the 2007 Geneva Auto Show is here, and all the buzz is on. I bet you are all wondering which car get all the attention. Well wonder no more just look below.

This is the new concept car from BWM. It is the 2008 M3. This is something unusual for BWM because they didn't expect to get that much attention at this year's auto show. So this years Geneva Auto Show has some competition. The race now is between the Lexus IS-F and the BMW M3. Check out the Lexus IS-F below.


In my opinion there is no comparison. When it comes to German cars you can't have competition. The M3 is one of the most reliable cars and also it happens to be one of the best sports cars. How many other cars combine these two things together. The M3 is a car that you can see a rich suburban mom drive and at the same time a spoiled teenager that wants to be a racer. I don't think that any other car can have such broad audience. That is all I can say, and if you think something different let me know in the form of a comment!
