<br />
Based on the mid-range Acenta trim level, the new Micra model can be had in the following color combinations Pacific Blue with a White roof and mirror caps; Shiraz Red with a Black roof and mirror caps, and Alabaster White with a Red roof and mirror caps.<br />
<br />
Also included in the package are contrasting-color side sills and center caps for the 15-inch alloy wheels, a ‘Limited Edition’ badge and a chrome exhaust finisher, while the roof color is echoed inside on the air vent accents, the lower part of the gearshift column together and the floor mats.<br />
<br />
Other standard features are the air-conditioning, cruise control and roof spoiler, with on-the-road prices starting from £12,300.<br />

While seen here in rendered concept form, Lumma Design's CLR i8 and CLR i3 point to what we should expect in the near future once the cars begin to arrive in the hands of their new owners.</b><br />

<br />
For the 357hp (362PS) i8, the German tuner proposes a full carbon-fiber kit comprising a front spoiler, side skirts and rear bumper with diffuser along with a tailor-made sticker set with lime-green accents and matte-black, spider-style alloy wheels.<br />
<br />
The CLR i3's appearance is modified with a front spoiler lip, a specially designed hood and side skirts, all of which are all made of high-strength and ultra-light carbon. It too gains a different set of rims.<br />
<br />
Lumma Design did not say if and when it will introduce these parts for the BMW models.<br />

<br />
Startech's widebody aerodynamics package for the latest Range Rover Sport will make its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March and will be available for order shortly after.<br />
<br />
It keeps the styling of the bumpers from the regular kit adding more width to match the wheel arch extensions, with Startech also throwing into the mix a bigger roof spoiler and, of course, beefier rims and tires.<br />
<br />
The German tuner didn't offer any specific details, as this is more of a teaser-announcement, but we expect the previously announced SDV6 3.0-liter diesel engine upgrade from 288hp (292PS) to 318hp (323PS) that allows for a 0-100km/h (62mph) in 6.9 sec and a top speed of 222km/h (138mph), to be on offer along perhaps with more power tunes.<br />

<br />
Honda has now released two “eye-catching” special edition versions of its CR-V crossover. And yes, these are the Black and White Edition respectively, and they have just been made available to order for Honda’s UK customers, with prices starting from £28,400 for the petrol manual version.<br />
<br />
Both models are identical in terms of spec/extra equipment gained, the color scheme being the only differentiating factor.<br />
<br />
They get “distinctive styling is enhanced with the addition of bold 19-inch Orion alloy wheels, exhaust finisher and privacy glass,” plus “a new patterned front grille gives a more powerful expression of performance, while a tailgate spoiler extends the flowing lines of the roof over the rear window to give a sleek, dynamic look. Smoothly integrated running boards add practicality and visual impact.”<br />
<br />
Tech features are also added in: dual-zone climate control, high-power Bluetooth, front and rear parking sensors, power-folding mirrors and sat nav come as standard. Honda says that those who go for one of the two packs will be saving £770 compared to the CR-V SE-T that they are based upon.<br />
<br />
Scroll down to the gallery to see what they look like.<br />

<br />
You will miss the creamy sound and power delivery of the bigger six-cylinder engine, but as CNET’s Brian Cooley finds out, there’s still a lot to like, though you do still need to tick a lot of options boxes to get the full experience.<br />
<br />
I wonder if anybody will actually buy one of these with no options, have it a stripped out as possible and with a manual gearbox, with the only extra needing to be added being the excellent M steering wheel? Probably very few.<br />
<br />
The appeal for a car equipped in that way is further dulled by multiple reports that newer BMWs have lost the sharp sporty edge to a degree, and while they are still satisfying to drive briskly, the driver satisfaction factor has gone down.<br />

<br />
However, two new reports from Motortrend magazine and CNN go hand in hand and point to the actual underpinnings to be used for the Levante, which it will share with the Quattroporte and Ghibli.<br />
<br />
This is very welcome news, since the Jeep Grand Cherokee is not regarded as a rewarding vehicle to drive, or one that handles in any kind of remarkable way, and these are two traits that simply must be present in a Maserati product.<br />
<br />
They would have to mirror Porsche’s Cayenne recipe, but build it around their brand’s own values; the sedan-based architecture will help it achieve that much more than the unwieldy Jeep chassis ever could.<br />
<br />
The company is still saying it will stick to its Jeep plans, when asked officially, but the project has been marked by setbacks and direction changes before, so it may hold true. The sedan solution suggestion is also strengthened by the automaker’s recent announcement that it was going to build the Levante in Italy, and not in the US, where it would have been made alongside the Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee.<br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The study is called the PassoCorto and it was commissioned by the Hyundai Design Center Europe "as a tribute to the Made in Italy design that is <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">studied at the IED</a>".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The two-seater sports car with the rear-mid-engine and rear drive layout will be presented in the flesh at the <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Geneva Motor Show next month</a>. It's the tenth full scale model to be created by IED Turin and displayed at the Swiss auto event since it started doing so back in 2004.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The PassoCorto is not only similar in <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">philosophy to the 4C</a>, but in size as well, measuring 4,100mm long, 1,880mm wide and 1,160mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,450mm.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The study is static, but it was designed to be built around a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis and a target weight of just 840kg (1,852 pounds), with power coming from a Hyundai 1.6-liter bi-turbocharged four producing around 270-horsepower.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">According to IED, the interior "was designed to have two cockpits with integrated instruments clearly divided by passenger and driver; the seat is optically connected to the dashboard and the backrest is cut directly out of special niches in the frame".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thomas Bürkle, Chief Designer at the Hyundai Europe Design Center, commented:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I would like to express my gratitude to the director Riccardo Balbo, the management of IED and especially to the students of the Master Course. The cooperation between our Design Center and IED was very inspiring and fruitful. The PassoCorto is a dream coming true and fulfills the high expectations we had at the beginning of the project. The result is of such a high standard that I can say that the Hyundai badge sits proudly on the bonnet of this exciting sports car!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, what do you think; should Hyundai at least ponder about bringing this car to production?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teased here in these digitally manipulated photos and likely set to debut at the <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Geneva Motor Show</a> next month, is ABT's <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">VW Golf R</a> that comes with a software upgrade to significantly boost the 2.0-liter turbo engine's output from 300PS (296hp) and 380Nm to 370PS (365hp) and 460Nm, respectively.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">ABT says that, with the pedal on the metal, the tuned Golf R hits 100km/h (62mph) from standstill in 4.5 seconds and tops out at 265km/h (165mph), a 0.6-second and 15km/h (9mph) improvement over the stock model's respective figures.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to give the Golf R that ABT aftermarket look, the tuner will also offer a body kit with a front chin spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser trim, roof spoiler, a different front grille, headlamp<em>eyelashes</em>, and carbon fiber sticker accents, plus new wheels.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sports car manufacturer said it is recalling all 785 delivered vehicles worldwide to inspect their engines. <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Porsche</a> said it is directly informing the owners and <b>“recommending that they stop using their vehicles.”</b> Furthermore, “the carmaker is offering to pick up the vehicles and take them to a Porsche Centre immediately,” says the release.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The recall comes after engine damage occurred in two vehicles in Europe, causing them to catch fire. There was no traffic accident and no one was hurt.

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As you can imagine, cars driving around while covered with snow are a frequent sight in Russia, and they cause their fair share of <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">accidents</a>. So what can people do to avoid that from happening?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, an example can be seen in the video posted below, where a motorist takes the matter into his own hands when he sees that the car in front has its taillights completely covered by snow.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The video may start exactly like a classic Russian <a href="http://www.carscoops.com/search/label/Dashcam" style="text-decoration: none;">dash cam</a> crash incident, but if you are patient (for about 40 seconds or so), you’ll discover that it's actually funny.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The car is powered by a bi-fuel engine that runs on natural gas or petrol. The unit is a 1.4-liter TSI petrol engine producing 109hp (110PS) designed for CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). The G-TEC package also includes a Start-Stop System and regenerative braking, which helps the powertrain meet the Euro6 emission standards.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On CNG alone, the <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Octavia</a> G-TEC can travel up to 410 km (255 miles) without refueling, corresponding to CO2 emissions of 97 g/km. On petrol, the car has a range of up to 920 km (572 miles). Combined range of the Octavia G-TEC is 1,330 km (827 miles). When running on CNG, the engine averages 3.5 kg (5.4 cubic meters) per 100 km.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“The natural gas engine is an important element in the Skoda sustainability strategy and and is now making its way into our best-selling model series,” said Dr. Frank Welsch, <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Skoda</a> Board Member for Technical Development. “Using CNG technology makes sense, as it combines environmentally-friendly mobility with affordability,” he added.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course, while the fuel itself is cleaner than gasoline, the way it is extracted (mostly via the controversial method of hydraulic fracturing) in my view doesn’t make it that appealing on the long run. It’s equally unsustainable as owning an electric car that runs on electricity produced by burning coal.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Placed under the magnifying glass for <i>EVO</i>, <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">the 650S</a> is put into context, and it’s not the one you’d expect. Not only is it reportedly more soothing and quieter than the 12C, but it’s also been infused with extra power (650 stands for the number of PS it has, which in horsepower equates to 641) in order not to lose sight of the Ferrari 458 Speciale and other <i>enhanced</i>supercars of this type.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, while it is better in every single way than the 12C, it does not look as good– not by a long shot. The P1 snout looks fine… on the P1, but the 12C rear end simply does not match its design in any way and knowing both cars, this looks like mix and match; an exercise that detracts from the specialness of the P1, but without it benefitting the 650S which just seems like a scaled down version.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It could have been a lot better-looking, since McLaren is clearly capable of providing differentiated design and styling ideas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"><br /></span></b></span>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It sits in between the two other models, in terms of power, making a combined total of 201 hp and 258 lb-ft or 350 Nm which pushes it past 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 135 mph (or 216 km/h, which we assume must be somewhat electronically pegged back, since the less powerful diesel tops 142 mph/229 km/h).<a href="http://www.carscoops.com/2014/02/vw-reveals-sporty-gte-plug-in-hybrid.html?&max-results=20" name="more" style="text-decoration: none;"></a></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since it's the slowest of all three models, both in terms of sprinting and outright speed, you’d expect it to have a party piece since it will probably be pretty expensive and they do want to sell it, right?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Correct, as they’ve given it a claimed combined fuel consumption figure of 1.5 l/100km (equal to 157 mpg US or 188 mpg UK), and as you may have imagined, it is achieved with the all-electric range of up to 31 miles (~50 km). The car has a combined autonomy of 584 miles (934 km), plus super low CO2 emissions of 35 g/km.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It achieves those feats (in the lab…) thanks to the marriage of a 1.4-liter 148 hp turbocharged engine used in many other models with a 101 hp <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">electric motor</a>. The car can run solely on the latter up to a speed of 81 mph or 129 km/h.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This means that if your daily commute is short and you have a place to charge, you could basically run this in the same way you’d run a <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Chevy Volt</a> and only use the petrol engine for performance driving, if the need suddenly arises; a full charge on the battery from empty takes under three hours from a conventional wall socket.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The GT's looks draws heavily upon that of the GTI, but with <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">e-Golf</a> influences. It also replaces the GTI’s red detailing with blue and features side skirts and a discreet spoiler on the back that are taken from the other two models. GTE badges finish off the look, as do the unique LED daytime-running lights borrowed from the e-Golf. The inside is shared with the GTI/GTD, with sporty seats and details that continue the blue exterior theme.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Finnish company’s newfangled tires offer the best of both worlds: extreme grip on ice, with the metallic studs deployed and smooth (and most importantly quiet) progress on motorways or other fast roads where they are not needed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The tech would also theoretically allow people to use these kinds of tires for a longer period of time, since conventionally-studded ones are restricted in many countries.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Don’t expect to see one of these at your local tire vendor’s any time soon, though, because they are far from being ready for mass production. Nokian Technical consumer service manager Matti Morri said they “may indeed become a reality one day.” Cost is probably the main issue, though, for now…</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">Car brands come and go, but one thing is for sure: they will be remembered thanks to their best products. In the case of Chrysler’s now defunct </span><a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-decoration: none;">Plymouth brand</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">, one of these products is definitely the Barracuda pony car.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"></span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Built from 1964 to 1974 over three generations, the <a href="http://www.carscoops.com/2012/09/chrysler-group-rumored-to-replace-dodge.html" style="text-decoration: none;">Barracuda</a> is a sought after vehicle today, especially immaculate examples like this <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">1967 Barracuda</a> Formula S.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Formula S models were upgraded in-house by Plymouth with suspension and brakes that allowed it to keep up with European sports cars in curves.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Owner Bob Gough, who bought the car over 23 years ago, felt the need to add some upgrades himself. Under the long hood of the car a 340 cubic inch (5.6-liter) V8 has replaced the car’s original 273 cubic inch (4.5-liter) engine, while the standard transmission has been replaced with a Tremec 5-speed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, Plymouth’s upgrades on the suspension were pretty good, so the only modification Gough made was replacing the original shocks with nitrogen shocks that he says significantly improve the handling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To my knowledge, <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Subaru has only confirmed a limited number</a> of units of <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">the WRX STI</a> (and not<a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;"> the WRX</a>) for Britain, but Rumbler says it will "by-pass the normal supply channels to import additional models specifically for the Concept 13 project". How that's possible and if Subaru UK will allow it, is something I do not know.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But what exactly will Rumbler do to the production car to make it look more like the study we all loved? Well, here's what the press blurb states:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"It will restyle the WRX body to reflect the original Subaru concept around the nose and tail and recreate its sophisticated modern design style. Although little can be done with the bulk of the body every customer will also be given tuning options for the engine to raise performance above the standard model from 350 bhp upwards to a maximum potential of 1,000 bhp depending on the customer's preference and budget."</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Leaving aside the insane horsepower figure coming from a company that, on its website, showcases drawings of a <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Batmobile Tumbler-inspired study</a> and the <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;">Ultra-Smart Watch</a>, the whole idea sounds vague, if you ask me, and let's be honest; the concept looked great mostly because of its proportions and low-slung, coupe-like styling, both of which can't be recreated without new sheetmetal from top to bottom. Deleting the rear wing and adding a new fascia and rear diffuser won't really turn the WRX into the <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">impressive concept</a>, will it...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Right now, it's only an idea with Rumbler stating that, "production will begin when we cross the threshold of fifty (50) confirmed orders. There is no upper limit," and adding that, "At present the Concept 13 project is limited to the UK/British Isles (including Eire) but may be extended to other markets with sufficient demand".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We know for a fact that Subaru has priced the WRX STI at £28,995 a pop in the UK – so if Bond is referring to the STI and not the plain WRX, that would mean an investment of at least £1.45 million (US$2.4 million) for the cars alone.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A visit to Rumbler's website, where Michael Bond describes himself as "confidential escrow financial services agent" by day and a "technology designer, innovator and occasional writer" by night, will probably raise more questions than answers (i.e. this: "<a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Cars" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Acquiring The RUMBLER Sport Tank – FREE</a>)", at least until we see something tangible to back up the talk. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Subaru tells us that the Viziv 2 "is a future-generation crossover concept that signifies a future path for the Subaru's brand value of "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind". No other of piece of information was given about the concept car.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the single teaser image that was attached to the release, we see that, compared to the two previous concepts (pictured below in the second and third row of our gallery), the new Viziv 2 adopts a different fascia and lights.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first two studies featured a hybrid powerplant coupling a 2.0-liter horizontally-opposed<a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"> turbo diesel engine</a> to a pair of rear-mounted electric motors, which may or may not be the case for the latest concept.</span></div>

We’ll get a taste of what this means with the Hazumi concept car that's set to debut at the 84th <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">Geneva Motor Show</a> in about two weeks' time from now.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"></span><a href="http://www.carscoops.com/2014/02/new-mazda-hazumi-concept-previews-next.html?&max-results=20" name="more" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-decoration: none;"></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"></span></span><br />

Now, they have announced Lutz, a former vice-chairman of GM, as their new Chairman of the Board.</span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"></span><a href="http://www.carscoops.com/2014/02/bob-lutz-is-now-via-motors-new-chairman.html" name="more" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px; text-decoration: none;"></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">John Webber, the CEO of VIA Motors had this to say:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“VIA is fortunate to have the experience of one of the industry’s foremost executives leading our board,” to which Lutz himself added the aforementioned conviction about <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">electrifying</a>trucks - “I believe VIA is electrifying the right end of the business and is implementing a very sound business strategy. If we are going to see main stream adoption of electric vehicles, the technology must deliver a good return on investment to the largest segment of the auto business, namely trucks, vans & SUVs. That’s why I am so confident in VIA and I’m pleased to serve as Chairman.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.5px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the future, it’s unclear whether the company will stick to modifying trucks already manufactured, and not start doing its own thing, but it would need to at least consider shifting towards the latter to make a real impact on the market and get noticed more. They currently only convert trucks, vans and SUVs, most of which are made by <a href="http://new-cars-pro.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">GM</a>.</span></div>

Well, Chris Harris says you can, if only to prove money is not always the best indicator of a car’s capabilities.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkeCMwbzJEKTTRmbTUkW1fgW7EL5BN1NhAyVkRFASeEH8QuKx-N0Fouel3vimAkt8QB5KbdZ4Q9-eAtfPEH0VNQ5yEf24p0Ek3243FgeC7Imul-t74DFEV4imMjKpFJz_1sCvv_c3kLtE/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkeCMwbzJEKTTRmbTUkW1fgW7EL5BN1NhAyVkRFASeEH8QuKx-N0Fouel3vimAkt8QB5KbdZ4Q9-eAtfPEH0VNQ5yEf24p0Ek3243FgeC7Imul-t74DFEV4imMjKpFJz_1sCvv_c3kLtE/s1600/8.jpg" height="216" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
While the tested Corvette cost around $60,000, the 911 Carrera S had a starting price of approximately $100,000, plus $60,000 worth of options!<br />
<br />
Naturally, that begs the obvious question: was the 911 almost three-times better than the Corvette C7? Harris put both cars to the test on the track to find out, and some of his conclusions were quite surprising.<br />
<br />
The “slow and cumbersome” optional six-speed automatic gearbox was the Vette’s only major downside in Harris’ view, but there’s a solution for that: don’t spend extra money on it and choose the standard seven-speed manual - or wait for the upcoming 8-speed auto.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for the Porsche 911 Carrera S, it’s everything one should hope for from a 911, but the price difference is so big that the two cars are in totally different leagues. Scroll down to watch the review.</div>

<br />
The photos, which appeared over at Autofilou, show a car that, from these angles at least, can easily be mistaken for the 3-Series Gran Turismo.<br />
<br />
Pay closer attention, however, and you just might notice the more coupe like roofline with the sleeker (and more sloping) ending tailgate and the less frumpy front end – we know, the devil is in the…details, right?<br />
<br />
That's all we have for now, but it's a given that the smaller brother of the 6-Series Gran Coupe will borrow its diesel and gasoline powertrains from the existing 3- and 4-Series model. ranges.<br />

The carmaker added that it will bring a “new version of Renault Clio R.S.” and a new engine from the Energy range.</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The French carmaker gave no details regarding any of these three premieres, but from what we know so far, the third generation Twingo will be rear-engined and rear-wheel drive, as it has been co-developed with Smart’s upcoming ForTwo and ForFour models.<br />
<br />
On the styling aspect, the next Twingo will closely follow the retro lines of the Twin’Z (pictured) and the hardcore 320hp Twin’Run concept cars – minus the futuristic and sporting elements, of course. The production Twingo will launch as a five-door, with a three-door version being uncertain.<br />
<br />
There’s little information about the rear-mounted engines, but Renault and Smart are expected to use three-cylinder units paired to manual or dual-clutch transmissions. Electric models may appear as well later on.<br />
<br />
As for the new version of the Renault Clio RS, we can only speculate (and hope) of a more hardcore model – possibly a Gordini.<br />
<br />
Nothing new for Dacia though, as the Geneva stand of the budget brand will be focused around the restyled Duster SUV.<br />

The Korean firm's telegraphic press blurb reads: "Reveal of the newest addition to the Veloster line-up by Brandon Ramirez, Senior Group Manager, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America".<br />
<br />
Whether this means Hyundai will surprise us with something worthwhile reporting about. or if the presentation will pass by completely unnoticed, remains a mystery for now.<br />
<br />
As you may have imagined, the brand will also bring along the new Genesis sedan to Chicago for a second encounter with the American public following its world premiere earlier this month in Detroit.<br />
