Known
as the Japan’s BMW 5-Series rival, the Mark X
received Toyota’s G Sports makeover and was
officially unveiled at this year’s Tokyo Auto
Salon. For those who don’t know, the G Sports
is the new tuning arm of Toyota and as you saw
on the Prius G Sports Concept and FT-86 G
Sports Concept, they did quite a good job. The
new concept offers a 3.6-liter V6 engine
capable to develop 314bhp and 280 lb ft.

Between Detroit and Tokyo another show........ THE 2010 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW
Alfa Romeo Pandion
The Latin genus name of the osprey is one of two Geneva showcars said to be based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the other being a Pininfarina spider concept. More than one blog has drawn comparisons between the Pandion and last fall's BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept.
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.
 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.”
Mercedes-Benz F800 The Mercedes-Benz F800 Style, which will be unveiled at the Geneva Show introduces a new "multi-drive" platform for either a fuel cell or a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Its overall styling preview the next-generation CLS. 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.
