- I appreciate nissan for this move into performance and style upgrades.
“””Nissan has added a new, fifth model to the 350Z coupe line with the NISMO 350Z. Featuring a host of unique equipment—including a wild body kit and stiffer suspension—the NISMO Z goes on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in July as a late-2007 model.”””

“””The Lamborghini Concept S is a concept car designed by Luc Donckerwolke, the head of Lamborghini design, using the Lamborghini Gallardo as a basis. Shown at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It was intended to be a modern interpretation of the single-seat roadsters of the past. Utilizing a 'saute-vent' (French for 'change wind') instead of a traditional windscreen, and dividing the interior into two distinct compartments by continuing the bodywork between the seats, which also serves as an air inlet feeding the mid-mounted 5L V10 engine, gives the car a distinctly futuristic look.”””

“”””The R360 was replaced in 1961 with the Mazda P360 Carol, the company's first 4-passenger car. It was larger than the Mazda R360 it replaced, running on a 193 cm wheelbase for a total length of 298 cm. It used a rear-mounted water-cooled 358 cc 4-cylinder OHV engine, which is one of the smallest 4-cylinder automobile engines in history (only Honda's 356 cc DOHC alloy 4-cylinder unit used in the T360 truck, was smaller).

“””Based upon the affordable New Beetle Miami, the New Beetle Anniversary Edition offers a visually enhanced package, from the exclusive body colour and stripe treatment, to the 17” Versus alloy wheels and front fog lights. While the feature rich interior is dominated by the striking leatherette upholstery in a unique black and white theme and also includes front sports seats and cruise control. This exclusive version has a particular visual appearance with an exclusive Campanella white body colour contrasted by a black roof and door mirror housings. The look is completed with the distinguishing exterior stripe package.”””

- Interesting. The lower bumper is to close to a ferarri though.
“””The Saab 9-1 is a compact car expected to be introduced by Saab Automobile for the 2009 model year.[1] It will perhaps share its Delta architecture with the Opel Astra, or possibly using a stretched Corsa or using a newly developed platform. Saab Managing Director Jan-Åke Jonsson said that the 9-1 will be built at Saab's home plant in Trollhättan and will be built on the same platform as the next-generation Opel Astra. Saab intends to build the vehicle at their Trollhättan factory, but also other European GM factories have been mentioned. It will be the successor of the Saab 90 and Saab 99 and be the company's entry-level car as the 9-3 grows larger. It's intended to compete with BMW 1 Series, Volvo C30, Mercedes-Benz B-Class, Acura CSX and Audi A3 - hatchback versions may be followed by sedan and station wagons, which may also appear for the 1 Series. A cabriolet might also be possible, but then possibly under the name Saab Sonett IV.””””

- So now the Lancer could be morphing into a Hatch - similar to the Impreza.
“””Mitsubishi has given up the goods on what last week we referred to as the Lancer Sportback, but will go by the name of Prototype-S when it debuts this March at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. The car itself is basically a production version of the Concept-Sportback that debuted at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show, and Mitsubishi hints in its press release that the 5-door hatchback Lancer is destined for the European market.”””

“””The Corvette variant, now officially known as the ZR1 was first reported by several print and online publications who were speculating that Chevrolet was developing a super high performance production version of the Corvette and were internally calling it Blue devil (named after GM CEO Rick Wagoner's alma mater, Duke University). Wagoner is quoted as saying, "I wonder what they can do for 100,000 dollars?" during a GM board meeting speaking about Chevrolet designers being able to produce a Corvette for a larger amount of money than any other Corvette before. The production version is expected to debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show and be available as a 2009 model.”””

- Taking its name from "secret room,"
“””The second prototype, called the Se-Ro and exhibited at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show, previewed the production model's more conventional mechanical underpinnings, despite having a more radical appearance which bore little resemblance to the final design.[17] Instead, its polished aluminium body was styled to resemble a zeppelin or airship.[18][19] The aviation theme continued with the name; Se-Ro, short for "secret room", was a veiled reference to the Mitsubishi Zero fighter aircraft of World War II. “”””

“””Audi took the L.A. setting seriously to introduce its small convertible concept. After introducing the Metrojet concept last month, this convertible looks to be bigger, but perhaps the two will usher in a new line of small cars to combat BMW’s 1 Series. The concept is a soft-top convertible, practically a rarity in these days of retractable hardtops.”””
