[Automotive Addicts] 2010 Detroit Auto Show Concept Vehicle Highlights | Automotive Addicts: A new compact hybrid from Honda that is suppose to get 31/37 mpg for the 6-speed version and 36/38 mpg for the CVT transmission variant all from a 1.5-liter 4cyl mated to Honda’s hybrid system with a total of 122hp. This is almost like the return of the old-school Honda CR-X of the 1980’s and 90’s.

[The Torque Report] Detroit 2010: GMC Granite Concept Takes GMC in a New Direction ...: "Granite was conceived as a new type of vehicle from GMC - one that could stretch people's ideas of what a GMC can be," said Lisa Hutchinson, product marketing director for GMC. "We call it an 'urban utility vehicle' and our goal was redefining what the GMC name could mean to a new generation of customers looking for both bold design and functionality."

[Untitled] Concept cars from Detroit Auto Show 2010 | Machine Design: They started with a 255-hp turbocharged four-cylinder version of GM’s Ecotec engine and mated it to a six-speed manual, all-wheel-drive transmission. (A detuned version of this engine will be under the hood of the Regal CXL this summer.) Next they lowered the body and the car’s center of gravity to make it more stable and aerodynamic, and added Recaro racing seats and a steering wheel  resembling those used in international racing.

[Chrises Cars] Concept cars on display at the 2010 Chicago Auto show : Chrises Cars: This Cadillac features a 3.6 liter direct injection V-6 engine, paired with a plug-in hybrid system that combines to produce 350 horsepower. All wheel drive distributes the output where needed to 20-inch wheels, which are guided by Magnetic Ride Control.

[SACarFan] 2010 Detroit Auto Show Top 10 | SACarFan: In keeping with the theme of this year’s NAIAS, the NCC relies on a thrifty hybrid powertrain which combines a tiny but spirited 4-cylinder (both supercharged and turbocharged) with a battery-fed electric motor. Total output is rated at 130 kW, enough to reach 100 km/h in just a tad over 8 seconds.

[drive blog] drive blog: Why French design is hit and miss: I mean, its OK but a Clubsport isn't too far behind [assuming you mean the twin-turbo 335i] and when you look at the value equation, the HSV stacks up way better. They both look good and the interiors are at about the same level.

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum: Europe | UK new car sales and the recession: All the yakety yak here on the Drum about everybody getting on a bus is about as silly, in terms of short and medium term solutions, as it can get.Our built housing infrastructure and our existing codified zoning laws are for alll intents and purposes as hard and durable as granite bedrock.These things cannot change very fast, and the brie and chablis set will fight any changes as vigorously as any right wing yuppie puppy.The better off elements of our society don't want to live intermingled with the poor people-they don't even want to see them around, except as they make thier duly appointed rounds cleaning and cutting the grass and hauling away the garbage.
