Conceived around a small “footprint” for maximum convenience in tight urban settings, the packaging concept integrates a center driving position configuration and a rear powertrain layout. The exterior styling leverages crisp angles with dynamic flowing lines that originate from the front of the vehicle and span outward toward the rear. The end result is a sleek and aggressive exterior that also allows for a spacious and open interior with excellent visibility



The exterior styling is intended to capture a future direction for premium sophistication while balancing the need for maximum interior space and an aerodynamic appearance. The interior layout, in conjunction with the rear powertrain design, contributes prominently to the exterior’s overall shape




The layout of the interior space, with its center driving position flanked by two rear seats, provides generous legroom for all occupants, roughly the equivalent of a mid-sized sedan in a vehicle that has an exterior footprint similar to a micro car. Interior functionality is increased by rear seating areas that fold up and out of the way to increase storage capacity. The windshield serves as a heads-up display for the navigation system and the back-up camera.



The modular rear engine bay, depicted on the exterior by blue composite material, is designed to accommodate a wide variety of potential propulsion technologies including a conventional small displacement internal combustion engine, a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, or a battery-electric powertrain

Buick Avant Concept



Need further proof that the premium car market to save money? General Motors' latest entry in the Lab recently launched this website Buick Avant, a car that was developed to study the future of the model is reduced to the level of the brand.



Abound innovative ideas with Avant Buick Concept, including a door that can both swing and slide open, the driver's seat that moves laterally to adjust the interior packaging, a luggage rack that carries a package for you and what are called micro pergola roof that can be translucent light or transparent depending on the driver's wishes.



All told, the Buick came with six exterior and four interior themes concept expected to get feedback














Acura Geely CE concept



Geely car parade at Beijing is officially running smoothly. One of the renderings we posted pretty during the run up to the show is the concept of CE, a small hatchback that looked like it could be Acura's slumming in entry-level class. In metals, it seems pretty much exactly like the rendering a little better Acura style 5-door hatch.





That's Geely badge on the grille-shaped shield. It is more handsome than the Geely current market offerings, and it all means nothing, because we do not have pictures of the interior as well as technical details to flesh things out further. Thus, we will treat it as an exercise style that might have a Honda / Acura designers grumbling under his breath, and Chinese showgoers and (potential car-buyers) nodding approvingly.

Alfa Romeo Kamal Concept



If this intersection is a bit familiar, your eyes are not playing tricks. Alfa Romeo has unveiled a concept vehicle at the Motor Show 2003 Geneva. It was called Kamal, and she was supposed to have gone into production by now. But things were a little mad at the Fiat group. Mergers and acquisitions have collapsed and others have lived, forcing the Italian automaker to change its product strategy at every turn.


What we ask of all is this new batch of spy shots have leaked by an employee in search for Fiat Elasis and development facility in Pomigliano, Italy. Of course, it is quite possible the original concept has been moved to a storage facility to another, but then they could be on again for another reason. One way or another, we should find out soon that Fiat / Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is preparing to decide the fate of Alfa timely.



Alfa Romeo 8C



There are few things as a tragic missed opportunity. So if you were sitting at home crying over missed your chance to enter by one of the 84 examples of simply stunning Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione to reach U.S. shores, morale, because the miracle of eBay has come to save the situation yet again. Not one, but three US-spec 8Cs jumped for sale on the automotive section of the market on the clock.







Of course, this kind of design perfection does not come cheap. Not by any stretch of imagination. An example in St. Louis is falling on the block today with a starting bid of $ 243,900. A second one is in Minneapolis to take a starting bid of $ 305,800 and a Buy-It-Now price of $ 329,995. And a third example is available in Houston with a Buy-It-Now price or best offer at $ 295K. They are all red (naturally) and are far from being a sale price, but can you really put a price on beauty? Well, apparently you can, but this does not mean they will pay.





MINI Coupe and Roadster Concepts



Mini brought her birthday gifts for himself in the auto show in Los Angeles today for their North American debut. The Camden and Mayfair were there, but we spent more time ogling the Coupe and Roadster. As you recall in May, Mini created the two sports cars to celebrate its 50th anniversary and showed off both sides of Coopers Special edition in Frankfurt Motor Show. The changes are somewhat less obvious on the open top roadster, but you can certainly see that there is no back seat and the windshield is laid back to 16 degrees during the claimed Cooper Standard. The cap back on the coupe is a bit odd looking picture and vision of the real world does little to change that impression.





No vehicle display sported detail any changes, but it was always fun to see all crammed into a cabin the size of the section Toyota Venza. Ian Robertson, BMW does share a few more details on MINI's future with the "R60" 4-door 4-liter 4WD, about to get a real name and even more models in the works . For now we have the Coopers and club members and the Coupe and Roadster to keep us happy. Check out the gallery below.
