When you think about it — it does not seem all that long ago that we were reporting on the Porsche Panamera and how it is available for pre-order.  Now … it has been on sale for about three months and already, the company is booming and the Porsche Panamera’s are flying off of the lot!  So far, Porsche has cranked out about ten thousand of the Porsche Panamera’s. 

That — to me is one car that is by far the best on the market.  Not only does it look absolutely breathtakingly beautiful but I can tell you for a fact that the way that the Porsche Panamera drives is the reason that so many people are attracted to it and really want it.

I mean, to be perfectly frank, not only is it a hot, hot car but the brand name Porsche is something of a status and I think that, that is exactly what people are after right now!

The Nissan Qazana concept proved to be one of the brightest stars of the 2009 auto show in Geneva.

NDE, or Nissan’s European Design Center, created the stunner. Specifically, we have Matt Weaver, the lead designer, and Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan Design Europe’s Vice President, to thank.

It is not really clear, however, whether the Qazana will ever actually make it into production. Albaisa has been noted as saying that the concept was created solely to appear at the motor show in Geneva, but goes on to say that the concept should not be passed off. He says that it is also meant to show the direction Nissan might take for small cars in the future.

Of course, giving the Qazana’s success at the show, Nissan might be changing their minds in a hurry.

I have to tell you, I think the Honda City is pretty hot. This is the third generation of the City, and it is already being sold in Thailand. The mechanics of the Honda City are based around those of the Fit hatchback. Previous versions of this vehicle were a bit tall, and the proportions were rather awkward at back. As you can see, with the third generation, the proportions are much, much better.

You may see hints of the Airwave and the Civic in the treatment of the front.

Inside, the dashboard is different from the City’s inspirations, the center console is more squared shaped, and the car is powered by a 118 horsepower, 1.5 liter i-VTEC engine.
