Official images of new Toyota Prius V

The new Prius V will feature the new Entune multimedia system and as I mentioned in my earlier post, it will be available with a lightweight resin moon roof with retractable sunshades, boasting a 40% reduction in weight compared to conventional glass roofs of the same size.

Honda Civic coupe and sedan concepts finally presented at Detroit!!!

Finally the waiting is over. Those are the new USDM Civics! Honda just presented two concepts, a coupe and a sedan!!!  They are expected to go on sale in the US in April and those concepts presented at the Detroit Auto Show are pretty much what will go into production... ok, minus the fancy bits and pieces.

Three powertrains will be available, as with the current-gen model: gas, natural gas, and hybrid.

The design of both cars is just an evolution, but the Civic coupe looks really good, better than the current one IMO!!!

First live photo from Prius V's unveiling at Detroit!

So, this is the first live photo from the unveiling of the new Prius V at Detroit! Oh, and V stands for Versatility...

Not really surprised in terms of styling. Same bits with the "normal" Prius and almost the same footprint. Interesting facts: seating for five; 40 mpg combined fuel consumption; it will come with a standard lightweight resin sunroof.
