This are my Top 10 favorite cars on 2009-2010. They are not simply gorgeous they are great. Let as start at Saturn Aura,
This is called the Gran Turismo concept, it has a greenhouse that is very Infiniti G35, while the rest of it is fresh and beautiful while carrying over some styling cues from the current Vectra. And just look at those exhaust outlets-they're as big as the taillights. The car's turbocharged, 300 horsepower V-6 must be putting out some pretty intense fumes. The interior looks great too, and only a few shiny bits are far-fetched for production.
Second we have the Honda FCX
The FCX concept is Honda's latest take on fuel cells. Although its ultra-cab-forward body looks dramatically long, low, and wide, at 186 inches (15.5 feet) in overall length, the FCX is actually shorter than the Acura RL. It features a compact, Honda-developed fuel-cell stack in the middle of the car with two hydrogen tanks in the rear. The stack is actually much smaller than is now technologically feasible, but Honda says that it shows "our dream."
The novel four-wheel-drive system has one front 80-kW electric motor with two in-wheel, 25-kw motors at the rear.
The deluxe cabin is outfitted with a mix of traditional Japanese materials--such as a wood floor--plus the latest gizmos. The dashboard rises up (toward the driver) as speed rises, supposedly to hold the driver's attention, which leads us to wonder if the steering wheel is right in front of your nose once you reach triple digits.
Third we have Maserati GranTurismo S
S could stand for speed. A new 4.7-liter V-8 takes the place of the 4.2-lilter offered in the non-S car. Horespower is up 40 for a total of 440 and makes its way to the rear wheels via a
semi-automatic transaxle. Dubbed MC-shift, the new transmission is a revised version of the DuoSelect box that's offered on the Quattroporte sedan.
S might also stand for stopping power. With greater power comes greater braking responsibility, so Maserati borrowed the Brembos from the Quattroporte Sport GT S for the job. The front discs use a dual-cast process to combine cast iron and aluminum.
Fourth we have the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
With the launch of the so-called "Dino" entry-level Ferrari set for the Paris Motor Show this September, Ferrari used this year's Geneva show to redirect attention to its 612 Scaglietti. The two-plus-two-seater, V-12 flagship grand touring coupe has been overshadowed the past two years by the 599GTB sports coupe, so the 612 was chosen as the debut vehicle for Ferrari's new customization program, called Ferrari Atelier. This is a new, organized marketing effort to allow Ferrari customers to have their 612s tailor-made to their specific tastes.
Number Five we have YES!
Yes??? Have you heard of YES!? No? Neither had we, until Funke & Will AG brought its wares to the 2008 Chicago auto show.
Apparently the German company has been producing little sports cars since 2001, when the first generation of the YES! Roadster was introduced. Beginning this summer, American buyers will be able to purchase version 2.0 of the low-volume two-seater already available in countries throughout Europe as well as Japan and New Zealand.
My Final Car to Show you
Jaguar XJ and XKR Portfolio Editions
Though the British marque will soon be part of an Indian company's portfolio, Jaguar can still do style and luxury right.
Previewing its new XJ and XKR Portfolio Special Edition vehicles at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar reveals it will continue pushing its usual cosmetic upgrade package before any official Tata takeover.
The XJ Portfolio gets two exclusive paint choices (Celestial Black and Astral Gold), along with two unique interior trim options (Navy and Champagne colored), Jaguar "heritage" badging, 20-inch alloy wheels, and chrome design touches. The XKR portfolio will also get its own exclusive paint color (Shadow Grey metallic), 20-inch alloy wheels with a special shadow finish, and Portfolio signature scripts on door sills and carpets. Most XJ and XKR luxury options will be included with the Portfolio package.
The XJ can be ordered with either a normally aspirated (300- hp) or supercharged (400 hp) 4.2-liter Jag V-8. The R in XKR means it's supercharged only. All cars use Jaguar's 6-speed automatic transmission.
Jaguar says Portfolio XJs and XKRs are "built in limited numbers to offer new levels of luxury, craftsmanship and exclusivity," but exact production volume has not been made available.
