Mazda Kazamai Brings "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom" To Moscow Auto Salon
We've showed you first shots of the Mazda Kazamai Concept, but here's more of the "Swirling Crosswinds" vehicle Mazda is showing off at this year's Moscow Auto Salon. Mazda revealed the concept crossover to give the Russian market — one of the few in which SUVs are rapidly growing in popularity — a look at where the company plans to take its next-generation crossovers. The Kazamai blends Mazda's Nagare design language in a small sport-ute just a tad bit larger than today's Mazda3, making it sort of the kissin' SUV cousin to the Furai concept we saw in Detroit. Judge for yourself, and check out the full design report from Mazda after the jump.More »

2010 Buick LaCrosse Teaser Released, Reveals Buick Badge, Little Else
GM just released this teaser photo of the 2010 Buick Lacrosse, which is set to debut at the LA Auto Show in November. The Epsilon II-platformed, front-wheel-drive, mid-size sedan receives style influence from the Buick Invicta concept and hopes to be just as sexy as the 2008 Buick Enclave crossover.

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.

Koenigsegg To Build 700 HP Four Door, Prototype To Debut At Geneva
If the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide aren't exclusive or fast enough for you, wait until the Geneva Motor Show next spring.

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.

Nissan Cube USA Website Goes Live Complete With "Free" T-Shirt Offer
The preview website for the US-bound Nissan Cube has gone live, complete with a 2010 Ford Mustang-esque long-lead countdown timer. Ninety days out from the LA Auto Show reveal, the website gives us a peek at the Cube's marketing direction, which seems to be a second-year art-school student's wet dream. It's stacked deep with snappy animations, confusing artistic movies, overexposed images and a link to every known social media widget we've ever seen. But what about that free T-shirt? More »

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 »

GM To Axe Detroit Auto Show Style Event, We Lose Chance To Schmooze Models
The recent belt tightening at GM kicked off last month with massive cuts to costs attributed to salaries (that means people losing jobs). Then GM started to make cuts to its non-car promotions with a slash of the Nascar budget. That line item's getting another whack as we've been told today the GM "Style" event has now slipped the mortal marketing coil. More »

Detroit Auto Show Continues To Dominate, Snags New Toyota Prius And Lexus Hybrid Debuts
The Detroit News is reporting group vice president and general manager for Toyota of the Americas, Bob Carter, has confirmed the 2010 Toyota Prius will be debuting at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show and will be joined by a uniquely styled and appointed version for Lexus. The Prius was set to move upmarket relative to its former iterations, but with a Lexus version now on the way, Toyota's own marketplace may be getting crowded. But the bigger story is how this news makes things far more interesting for January's Detroit Auto Show.More »

Cadillac CTS Coupe To Bow At LA Auto Show
Following a teaser preview at Pebble Beach this past weekend, GM announced the Cadillac CTS Coupe would finally flaunt its doorless flanks for the public at this November's 2008 LA Auto Show. Reports, as well as spy photos and official pres shots we've already seen, indicate the coupe will arrive nearly unchanged from the concept that first bowed at this year's Detroit Auto Show, featuring CTS sedan styling forward of the A-pillar but unique, more-aggressive sheetmetal from that point back. With a center-exit exhaust and a steeply raked rear window, the CTS Coupe is going to be a whole new interpretation of Caddy's design language, and we can't wait to see it at the show.More »

2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible Drops Top For LA
Infiniti just released this image of the 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible. Not pictured is the folding hard top, the four seats or the complete and utter lack of trunk space. Power will be from the same 3.7-liter, 320 HP V6 as the coupe, which should easily move the extra weight. Expect more details and photos as the November LA Auto Show draws closer.

Lincoln MKT Crossover Confirmed, To Get EcoBoost
Ford today officially confirmed that it would be producing the Lincoln MKT and equipping it with the EcoBoost 3.5-liter V-6 engine, good for an estimated 340 horsepower and 340 lb.-ft. of twist, in place of a V8. Unlike the MKT Concept, the production crossover will get three rows and probably fewer Saworvski crystals. A "fuel-efficient" six speed will be the transmission of choice for both the EcoBoost V6 and the standard issue, normally aspirated 3.7-liter V6. The new 7-passenger CUV, which will debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, will feature technologies such as SYNC, blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert.

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 »

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.
