2007/2008 Audi TT unveiled (#)

„Audi today revealed the much-anticipated 2007/2008 Audi TT Coupe. The car represents an evolution of the original's design, with considerably more aggressive styling. The new TT is larger (5 inches longer, 3 inches wider), and completely re-engineered. One of the most noticeable changes is the addition of Audi's new corporate face — aggressive headlights coupled with a large grille.“

Volkswagen : Bentley Continental GT (#)

100 MPG Available Now! - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Automotive technology keeps improving and people keep asking the question, but--as with fusion reactors and comprehensible phone bills--the reality always seems to be just a few years away. Sure, student engineers have achieved 2000 mpg in design contests, but those vehicles have been exercises in automotive minimalism, not practical everyday cars.“

Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept (#)

„The rear seats which are virtually inaccessible to adults are useless”why not use the space for something like storage? Having said that, I think Toyota was thinking about a wider audience when they designed this car. This, for me, isn't the new Supra, but something new altogether.“
