Lexus preps stunning LF-LC concept

Japanese automakers reveal from time to time some really stunning concepts, but by the time they enter production, the final product ends up completely boring and hugely toned down. Please Lexus, produce a version as close as possible to this prototype....

Honda & Daihatsu ready roadster Kei cars!

As I have reported in the past, not only Daihatsu is working on a Copen successor, but Honda also plans to introduce a Beat successor (earlier post)! Those renderings of the new Beat and Copen come from Japanese Best Car magazine and I would really love to see those in Europe... although there is no chance to see the new Copen in Europe (earlier post).

Official specs of Toyota FT-86 finally revealed!

Those are the official specs of the FT-86, leaked of course but coming from some official training material. So, after seeing the actual car and now knowing what we should expect in terms of performance, the target of 200 PS has been achieved and I think the FT-86 should be a really fun-to-drive car!

Toyota FT-86 II Concept - IAA 2011

Nice but it would look much better in black. It's a bit smaller than what I thought...

Lexus LFA - IAA 2011

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

All-new EUDM Honda Civic - IAA 2011

So, it took a bit longer, but I finally managed to upload some photos I took. The previous-gen model was way better and I really liked it. The new one is just a big failure in my opinion, with the front having some Seat design elements and the rear being simply ugly. In terms of the interior, the quality has been improved, but it has become very complex in terms of design with a lot of lines etc.
