unless it is an Abarth, the 500 or 500c is a little too cutesy to be a manly ride and generally, “cute” things tend to a girl thing. true story. however, that perception might change for some if the 500c in question is a collaborative effort between the Italian marque and premier GQ magazine, a Condé Nast Media Group publication.
i know what you are thinking. didn’t we saw this featured here sometime late last year? yes, you are right but the BMW i3 Electric Car was then a concept, and now it is officially an electric car that you purchase this November if you have €39,450 to spare ($41,350 in the US).
MINI isn’t the car anyone would associate with a camping adventure, but that doesn’t discourage the German-own British automaker to propose you do so with their MINIs. these getaway concepts are not new. we have seen one such example, the MINI Clubvan Concept, last year but since there ain’t no new cars to
it was no secret that Nissan is reviving the Datsun brand. the Japanese automaker has just announced the first car under the returned Datsun brand, and no it isn’t a sports ride, instead it is a compact hatch named GO. surprise. surprise. eh? and this very first car under Datsun will first be launched in early 2014 in India for about 400,000 Rupees
you are probably as disappointed as us seeing the word “concept” still stuck with the Active Tourer, but at least for eager Beemer fans, some news is better than no news. no? first introduced last year, the BMW Concept Active Tourer will be heading to Outdoor Friedrichshafen, bearing an additional model name “Outdoor” (hence, the BMW Concept Active Tourer Outdoor)

hot hatches. who doesn’t love them? among the torrent of offering by the different automakers, none can claim to be as iconic as the Volkswagen GTI. born nearly four decades ago, every generation of this nimble, front-wheel driven ride has made their marks and with each generation, getting sleeker and more powerful then ever. however, one thing remains unchanged
if the Volkswagen XL1 Plug-in Hybrid looks kind of familiar to you, then it is because it has been a concept since two years ago. and if you love what you saw two years ago, you be glad that nothing much has changed since and even better, it will finally get the production nod when it hits the show floor at the Geneva Auto Show next month.
just when you thought the new A-class couldn’t get any lustier, the pointed star marque wants you to drool more with the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. slated to make its world premiere at the Geneva Auto Show 2013 next month, this steroid-pumped A-class is fitted with the world’s most powerful production four-cylinder engine, a hand-built AMG 2.0-liter
if you thought Acura has stolen the lime light from its mothership at the recent Detroit Auto Show, then perhaps the Honda Gear Concept Study Model should do the core brand a wee bit of justice. we know it is just one car but that’s enough for us cos’ the Gear is looking so damn sexy that we each want to have one now…
do we really need another special edition smart fortwo with the same engine lineup? maybe not but then when you take a look at smart fortwo Edition Cityflame’s striking pearlescent flame yellow body panels set against the black tridion safety cell, we couldn’t help but to call it super cool. as you would have expected, what goes under the hood remain unchanged: you…
