Spanish automaker Seat has chosen the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show as the venue where its future styling direction will be shared with the world. The vehicle upon which these styling cues have been implemented is called the Seat IBL Concept, and it’s a modern minimalist language that incorporates lines familiar to the automaker in a forward-looking (if [...]
Toyota has pulled back the sheets on its 2012 Avensis here in Frankfurt, and we’re a bit impressed with the shape of this sedan. The Avensis is essentially Europe’s Camry, but under the skin, it’s very different, as it actually rides on a platform it shares with the Scion tC. In this case, the new Avensis can [...]
Under design guru Gilles Vidal, Peugeot is starting to show off its an adventurous maturity, as seen in theHX1 six-seat concept revealed today at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Powered by the Peugeot’s through-the-road HYbrid4 technology and using a 2.2-liter HDi diesel instead of the automaker’s 2.0-liter oil burner, the HX1 combines good power – 299 bhp – [...]
What might the 2013 Lexus GS 450h add to the additional performance goodness delivered in the 2012 Lexus GS 350? More power and more fuel efficiency, for starters. The second-gen hybrid system boots out 338 total horsepower for a 5.6-second sprint to 60 mph. That’s 32 hp more than the GS 350 and a 0.1-second improvement on [...]
When you chop the top of a sports car, you often lose the lines that originally draws crowds to gasp in excitement as it rolls past into the sunset. Ferrari has just hacked the lid off its 458 Italia and the resulting458 Spider is the tradition-bucking result. The convertible 458 puts your ears closer to the engine, [...]
Volvo’s Concept You is long, low and wide, three of our favorite flavors when it comes to sedans. Especially of late, long-hooded four-doors with sweeping greenhouses have been hits on concept and production stages, and we’re fans. The Autoblog team is somewhat split on the nose, though, as some feel the toothy grille stretched across its [...]
SsangYong has had a hard time of it of late, and its production vehicles tend to be more indifferent than inspired, but it can still rock a cool concept when it wishes. While the XIV-1 concept certainly isn’t the final word in madcap crossovers, to our eyes, it features a nice combination of lines and forms [...]
Believe it or not, we’ve now seen the Toyota FT-86 in some form or another on five different occasions now – and it’s still a concept. The original car was unveiled at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, we saw the FT-86 II this year at the Geneva Motor Show, along with the chassis and powertrain of its Subaru counterpart, we then saw [...]
The hot new 2012 Audi S7 is certainly worthy of your attention (and your drool), but if swoopy hatchbacks aren’t your thing, perhaps the svelte new S6 will pique your interest. After all, it packs the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 as the S7, cranks out the same 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, and has the [...]
Here in the United States, we’re slowly reaping the benefits of the Chrysler-Fiat partnership. The adorable little 500 is starting to find homes across the country and much of the rest of the Chrysler lineup is about to get a healthy dose of Italian injection. Too bad, then, that we aren’t exactly returning the favor to our [...]
