All, of course, remember a funny hat and advertising Renault Scenic, which typically worn buses in the yard, as restless puppy, and friendly car rear Yohannis. The Scenic frame is more compact and youth, although the movie and leaves no doubt that this car should be in the garage every decent family man to remove children and forever opazdawatuyu wife in the city. The Renault understanding of what must be associated names, which are passed, and as a result of “extended” marketing thinking lazy advertising, where buses “stirred the imagination and holds even elephant.

BMW (Bavarian Motor Works), is an independent German company and manufacturer of automobiles and motorcycles. BMW is the parent company of the MINI and Rolls-Royce car brands, and formerly, Rover. The company’s tagline in English is currently “The Ultimate Driving Machine”. The original German slogan is “Freude am Fahren”, which translates to “Joy in Driving” in English.

Founded 1913 by Karl Friedrich Rapp, originally as an aircraft engine manufacturer. Then in 1923 BMW built its first model motorcycle, the R32. BMW bought the Dixi Company in 1928, and this became the company’s first car, the BMW 3/15. By 1933 BMW were producing cars that could be called truly theirs, offering steadily more advanced I6 sports and saloons (sedans).

Here are some of the classic BMW that we rarely seen on the road. Read the rest of this entry »

The Peraves MonoTraceris a two seat, fully enclosed body sport bike with a difference. According the press materials, even though the tires are rated for a lean angle of up to 55 degrees, only twenty percent ever exceed 40 degrees and only five exceed 45 degrees. Read the rest of this entry »

Car companies play the me-too game as well as any toddler on the planet. Case in point: the Demon concept car Dodge will be unveiling at the Geneva International Motor Show. For years, the Mazda Miata ruled the economy roadster segment simply because it had no viable challenger. When the Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky appeared on the scene, they immediately began stealing sales from the Miata—now called simply the MX-5. Seeing the General launch one over the fence as it did with the roadster twins, Dodge just had to get in on the game. Read the rest of this entry »

Porsche engineers evidently thought they could escape the ever-vigilant eyes of our spy photographers by doing their winter testing in the frozen tundra of Sweden. That, or they’ve heard about the various ways the Swedes “keep warm” at night and decided that winter testing would be more fun there than back in the Motherland (and who could blame them?). Evidently, someone tipped off one of our spies, who promptly sniffed out one of Porsche’s riley ragtops as it scurried down a Swedish byway at night. Read the rest of this entry »

Famous for its wacky concept cars that can do everything from fly to swim, Swiss coachbuilder Rinspeed is at it once again with the cigar-shaped, plastic-bodied eXasis sports-car concept, prepared for the 2007 Geneva motor show. No, your eyes are not deceiving you—from stem to stern, the body panels truly are see-through. Actually, most of the car—including the floor, body, seats, and control systems—is rendered in a high-tech, yellow-tinted plastic. In other words, Britney and Paris wouldn’t even have to get out of the vehicle to give the world a show. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s the point? Jeep is still trying to find a way to constructively fill showrooms. The Trailhawk would be an answer if the goal was merely to load up dealers’ lots with more Jeeps like the Patriot and the Compass that won’t sell. Read the rest of this entry »

Is it real? The Kue is for the show stand, not the showroom. However, some of its design elements — perhaps the supercharged V-8 engine — could show up on production Kias.

What’s the point? Kia would like people to buy its cars because they want to, not because they have to. The company recognizes it can’t rely solely on value and gas mileage win over customers, so it is going for a sexier look. Read the rest of this entry »

When most people think “concept sports car”, the word hibryd doesn’t initially spring to mind. However, the two-plus-two FT-HS concept, being a Toyota and all, features ultra-low emissions and a fuel-efficient 3.5 Liter V6 hybrid electric engine under its rakishly shaped hood.& Toyota says the power plant should be good for close to 400 horsepower; power will be driven to rear wheels and boasts a four second 0-to-60 acceleration time. Not too shabby.

The FT-HS answers a question asked a lot more now since gas, while somewhat cheaper this week, still isn’t really that cheap. The question: “What is a suitable sports car for the 21st century?”

“Drivers today are not satisfied with cars that are simply fast,” says Kevin Hunter, vice president of Toyota’s Calty Design Research.  “In addition to driving enjoyment, today’s drivers are concerned about safety, ecology and social responsibility.”

Well put. While there are some unsubstantiated mumblings about the FT-HS being a replacement for the long gone, well-loved Supra - even the name sounds cool - the FT-HS in this Buck Rodgers-looking shape and form screams CONCEPT to us. Well, that and very expensive, just look at those Carbon Fiber wheels. Remember, beauty doesn’t come cheap. Read the rest of this entry »
