2011
Volkswagen Touareg
The 2011 Volkswagen Touareg is lighter, more
spacious, and more fuel efficient than its
predecessor. VW has decidedly gone to the
crossover approach in a more obvious way than
the previous design.
2011 Audi RS5
Externally, the RS5 differs little from its
already attractive S5 sibling, but the
cosmetic tweaks help the car look slightly
more aggressive. A one-piece front grille and
large lower air intakes are similar to those
applied to the TT RS,

Honda 3R-C Minimal Transport Vehicle
If things get this bad I'm taking public
transportation.
It's hard to call the Honda 3R-C Minimal
Transport Vehicle a concept car, as the
one-passenger, three-wheeled design study
blurs the line between micro car and scooter.
Although it has a translucent canopy, it only
shields the cockpit when the 3R-C is parked --
in normal operation, it rotates upright,
serving as a windshield and air deflector.
2011 Lexus CT
200h

After being unceremoniously outed on the
Web by a classic pre-show embargo leak,
Lexus has officially taken the wraps off
its new 2011 Lexus CT 200h compact hybrid.
Although the CT 200h was developed to
target European buyers, Lexus says the
CT 200h will be available "in all
markets where Lexus is present"
beginning in late 2010. An exact U.S.
launch date hasn't been announced yet.
First Intro'd in Detroit last month,
Mercedes made a point of emphasizing the that the new
E-class was a car for “four seasons, four people.”
Four
people is simple: There’s surprisingly generous seating for
four. “Four seasons” refers to clever tech trickery designed
to make the E cabriolet more comfortable than the standard
topless car: AIRCAP, a wind deflector that pops off the top
of the windshield to deflect air around backseat passengers,
and AIRSCARF, a system that blows hot air from the
front-seat headrests, warming you like “an invisible scarf.”
The
concept F800 is fitted with a 300-hp, gas V6 and
a 109-hp electric motor. On electric power, the
F800's top speed is 75 mph and a range of just
18 miles.
Mercedes-Benz is determined to prove
that environmental friendliness isn't limited to
small cars. And in Benz tradition, the next CLS
sedan will be crammed full of technology.
