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.

Vroom, vroom, space cadets. You are clapping eyes on the Lexus LFA, which was presented at this year’s 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. I can only imagine that it made at least a few waves, because come on. That is one hot, hot Lexus. Besides that, it is worth four years worth of effort, not to mention two other show cars.

No surprise, it is classified as a supercar with a brand new, front mid engine. Its skin? Carbon fiber reinforced plastic, otherwise known as CFRP. That makes the car strong and incredibly lightweight, and also allowed the designers and engineers behind it to have a lot of freedom when it came to creating curves, edges, and other shapes.

Inside the car, there are three zones separating the interior, which is focused on the driver and hand built. There is a human zone, a driving zone, and a mechanical zone.

For those of you that have ever, ever used Google’s street view, it is pretty cool huh?  Personally, I have used it just too really look and see how clean a neighborhood is and also how the traffic is, however Microsoft is not a fan of it and they are actually coming up with something pretty cool.

Microsoft is in the works of creating more like a navigation system that you can actually drive along.  To me, that is something that is actually pretty damn cool.  I think that while Google’s street view was sweet, if Microsoft could come up with something better, I am definitely excited.

So if you have every used the street view and have complaints – don’t worry, Microsoft is going to take care of you!

Subaru has recently released the very first renderings of their new concept — the Subaru Hybrid Tourer concept, to be precise. It is set to be unveiled at the motor show in Tokyo next month, which will be the forty first year of the event.

The concept is a proposal for a grand touring vehicle. It is designed to integrate three important factors: safety, driving performance, and eco friendliness.

On the outside, the vehicle is said to be inspired by actual wings, in order to evoke a sense of freedom and a sense of confidence. The design is an aerodynamic one, emphasized by the vehicle’s gullwing doows and its areas of open glass.

Inside, the vehicle can seat up to four passengers and manages to feel quite open. The dashboard, for instance, can be moved either up or down, so the driving environment is optimized.

When you think about the brand Rolls-Royce … what is the first thing that comes to your brain?  Well, for me, it luxury and expensive.  That is exactly what the Rolls-Royce brand is all about … making you feel luxurious and taking your money.  The 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost is certainly making waves with everyone actually, especially with the celebrities though, as all of them want to have a Rolls right at their fingertips.

Personally, I think that the 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost is actually going to be the best Rolls on the market for 2011.  There are so many things included and so many beautiful touches that honestly – it is going to be one hot car!

Of course, the body shape is another thing to think about.  Personally, I think that the 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost is certainly sexy and the body of it looks absolutely beautiful!

BMW is a brand that has been around forever – seriously, I think it really has been around forever and it is a brand that I truly hope does not go anywhere … ever.  It is a fun brand that produces some of the best cars of its class and I love that about the brand.  BMW is consistent and you truly know what you are getting with this particular brand and that is exactly what makes me keep coming back.

Right now – BMW is actually going to be celebrating its ten years of X5 sales and that is why they are going to release the BMW X5 10-Year Edition.  This is a limited edition BMW.  The BMW X5 10-Year Edition is going to include unique wheels, aluminum trim, and a panoramic glass sunroof, along with Nappa leather, comfort seats, and BMW Individual Piano Black trim inside.

Now – the real kicker?  Its going to be $88+ and it only about 2,000 of these beauties are going to be made.  Remember that.

Okay, I have to be honest with you guys right now. I think the last time I even ran across the mention of a Citroen, I was reading a Stephen King novel — ‘Salem’s Lot, as a matter of fact. I don’t know that I have ever actually seen one (and registered the fact that it was a Citroen, I mean), so maybe that is why the Citroen C3, which the manufacturer classifies as a supermini. It will be officially unveiled later this month, at the 63rd annual Frankfurt motor show.

The idea is for the C3 to appeal to fresh buyers, especially those who have either decided to downsize their vehicle or who expect certain amenities and a certain level of quality.

It certainly has plenty of amenities, such as the option of a Zenith windscreen.

When you are looking for car insurance, the last thing that you ever want to do is have to look through a bunch of different websites to find the right one.  To be perfectly honest, that is going to be the best way in the world for you to find the auto insurance that is not only going to suit all of your needs but also that is going to fit within your budget.

Doing a lot of shopping around for car insurance is something that many people do not understand however it is something that you certainly should be doing.  If you are the type of person that is not internet savvy – don’t worry!  You can absolutely still ensure that you get the best deal by using your phone!

Getting quotes are at least 10 different places is a fantastic way to ensure that you are getting not only the best deal out there but a good company in general!

I have always been a firm believer in Audi as a company – I think that they produce some of the best cars in the world and honestly, I think that the 2010 Audi S4 is going to be one of the coolest and fastest cars on the market … besides the sports cars of course.  The 333HP and 3.0-liter V6 engine is something that is so cool and the price has been lowered from $47k down to $45k with good reason!

This particular car is one that is going to be a sedan, four door that has a six-speed manual transmission, it can get up to about 60 miles per hour from 0 in about 4.9 seconds and that is … let me tell you, quick!  When I drove the 2010 Audi S4, I was amazed at the handling and just how smooth the ride was – it was beautiful!

The 2010 Audi S4 is one car that is perfect for anyone that is considering spending more money on a BMW but want a lesser expensive car with all of the class … that is what the 2010 Audi S4 is!
