Report: Production Chevy Volt To Appear Alongside Chevy Cruze In Paris
Carscoop is reporting that inside sources tell them the production version of the Chevy Volt will join the Chevy Cruze, along with an unidentified Chevy concept vehicle, at the Paris Motor Show next month. That would mark the first show appearance for the Volt, which is expected to be revealed to the press on Tuesday, September 16. GM has been slowly revealing bits and pieces of the plug-in electric hybrid for months now; we recently told you about GM's plans to have at least 50 prototypes running around metro Detroit by the end of the year, so seeing a Volt up close shouldn't be too tough after Paris.

Not content to debut just the freshly face-lifted 2009 Mazda MX-5 at the Paris Motor Show, Mazda will also be showing off it's latest iteration of the Nagare design language via the Mazda Kiyora Concept.

In addition to the MX-5 and the Kiyora, we'll get our first peek at the Euro-spec Mazda6 with a 2.2-liter turbodiesel, and the Mazda2 with a 1.6-liter turbodiesel, both of which we'll wantonly covet. Press release below.More »

Suzuki Kizashi Engine Details Leaked By Enthusiastic Aussie Importer
The upcoming 2010 Suzuki Kizashi sedan, based on the 2008 Suzuki Kizashi 3 show car, will be available with at least two Suzuki-developed engines: A 2.4-liter four cylinder for the entry-level Kizashi and a V6 displacing around 3.6 liters for the up-level model. The Kizashi is making its way through the development cycle at the littlest Japanese automaker that couldn't, but an excited Australian importer got a little loose with his words, revealing the engine lineup, along with some additional information about the new Suzuki sedan.

2009 Seat Ibiza CUPRA Images Released, Details Waiting In Paris
Those wacky Spaniards with the German accents at Seat have released the first images of the 2009 Seat Ibiza CUPRA. The hot hatch has some tasty upgrades over the standard Seat Ibiza: Power comes from a spicy version of the VW 1.4 liter TSI four-cylinder, but here it gets two turbos, forcing output to a heady 180 HP — over 128 HP per liter. That power hits the pavement through a seven-speed DSG transmission driving the front wheels only (for now). Outside, bigger wheels, CUPRA badging, and upside down Auto Union-like vents flanking the grille complete the transformation. Expect full details at the Paris Auto Show unveil in October.[WorldCarFans]

Some of us spent a large portion of our youth preparing for the coming apocalypse. No, not in the creepy “our mom was Sarah Connor” sense, but in the totally normal and respectable type of advanced weapons and survival training that everyone does when they’re 12, right? Understandably this has created a significantly high level of anticipation for the inevitable alien invasion / nuclear winter / ape takeover. And now, we’ve found the perfect survival vehicle. It’s the Mitsubishi Racing Lancer equipped with a 260 HP, 480 lb.-ft. diesel engine.

2011 chevrolet cruze
At a news conference announcing GM's Lordstown, OH plant will receive a hot $350 million cash injection to build the new Chevrolet Cruze in the United States, GM CEO Rick Wagoner revealed a full-size foam model of the new 2011 compact replacement to the Chevy Cobalt. As we reported yesterday, the new Chevy Cruze will be revealed officially at the Paris Motor Show (so we can see that brand-spankin' new interior in person) and is scheduled to go on sale in March 2009 in Europe, where it will be available with 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter gasoline engines and a 2.0-liter turbodiesel. GM has not yet made a commitment on engine options to be offered here in the United States when the Lordston plan starts pumping out the little econoboxes by mid-2010 other than the already announced 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Full press release below the jump.

GM just dropped high resolution images of the upcoming Chevy Cruze small four-door on us in advance of its Paris Motor Show unveil later this year. At first glance, we're quite impressed. The new car gets a striking design which mixes smooth planes and sharp lines for a surprisingly handsome design. Oddly, the tail lights on the Cruze mimic the camouflage-ensconced headlights on the upcoming Chevy Equinox while also receiving the new bold front end from the Chevy Malibu. If this is the direction GM's small cars are going, we've gotta say, our interest is piqued. But that's just the design. We're also told the new 2011 Chevy Cruze will get three engines when it launches in Europe in March of 2009; a 16-valve, 1.6-liter (112 hp) and 1.8-liter (140 hp) gasoline engine, plus a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel (150 HP). All will be mated to either a five-speed manual or a class-leading six-speed automatic transmission. No official word yet on fuel economy — but we've been told in the past we should expect somewhere near 45 MPG. We like. Hit the jump for the full press release.

Peugeot Reveals Teaser Shots Of "RC..." GT Hybrid Concept For Paris
Peugeot promises to reveal the full name of its "RC..." concept car at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, along with a few more details about the just-announced concept. So what do we know? It's designed to be a technical showcase, a hybrid with 313 HP (though it's unknown if that's combined IC and electric), and it looks vaguely like a Dodge Intrepid, sporting 4 doors and, according to the company, 4 seats. There even appears to be a Maxima-like longitudinal moonroof. And, in an ominous sign for the design, Peugeot actually refers to the car as the "missing link," albeit between its RC show cars of 2002 and the 908 RC from the 2006 Paris Motor Show. We'll have to wait and see what Peugeot has here, but right now it looks pretty much like a hybrid sedan. Full release after the jump.More »

Quantum of Solace Set Pics Reveal 2009 Ford Ka, Bond Girl
The 2009 Ford Ka is apparently going to be making a cameo appearance in the worst-named Bond movie in history — Quantum of Solace. We're a little terrified by the graphical shenanigans on the side of this car — "Greene Planet" — which we assume means there's going to be some kind of trendy Earth-friendly tie-in. Well, at least there's Bond girl Olga Kurylenko to brighten things up.More »

Malaise Is A French Word: 1979 Simca Talbot 1100 In Paris
This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. We've seen a couple of Peugeots and a Renault in DOTSBE this week, so today we need to give equal time to a marque you rarely see on the North American street. Franzouse found this extremely rusty Simca 1100 while staggering home from a party one night, and had a Proustian flashback to his parents' old 1100.

Vauxhall, the General's proper English arm, today revealed the 2009 Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer, which is the estate version of the 2009 Vauxhall Insignia, which is also the Opel Insignia and likely the 2011 Saturn Aura. The estate, which is set to debut at the Paris Motor Show, will get two engines not available in the sedan or hatchback version. Although final power numbers haven't been released, one of the motors will be a more powerful turbodiesel and the other a smaller turbocharged gas motor. An environmentally friendly ecoFLEX Sports Tourer is also on the horizon. Personally, we'd be happy with the CDTi turbodiesel, which achieves 59.8 mpg on the Extra-urban cycle. Let's hope the wagon version makes it over with the 2011 Aura. Press release below the jump.

Suzuki Maruti Alto To Debut In Paris, Take On Europe
The first images of the new Suzuki Maruti Alto have surfaced ahead of its planned debut at the Paris Motor Show later this year. It's a good a place as any for a reveal as we're also told it will be joining the chorus of pocket-sized cars skittering about on European streets. The Alto is already a staple of most of the Asian subcontinent and the best-selling car in India, and the latest iteration of the Alto will probably be a welcome upgrade from the current million-selling (but only 46 HP) version.[NihonCar]
