The Honda Fit (known as the Honda Jazz in many parts of the world – we think Honda didn't call it the Jazz in North-America because they already have a motorcycle with that name). When introduced in Japan, the Fit/Jazz sold more than the Toyota Corolla, a car that has been at the top of the best-selling list in Japan for 33 consecutive years! You can find incredibly in depth reviews of the car here and here. It is not clear exactly what engines will be available for North-America, but the 1.5 liters VTEC version of the Fit is officially rated at 5.0l/100 km (47 mpg).

The "news" today was also about how the Touareg would serve as precursor to Porsche's Cayenne SUV. But as Porsche's engineers told me last year, a hybrid version of the Cayenne has been planned for quite some time. It would make sense though for the Touareg to turn hybrid based on the Cayenne since both vehicles share the same platform (a lot of people don't like to hear that after spending so much money on the Cayenne). Either way, I would expect the Touareg to be Volkswagen's debut hybrid model, whenever that will be.

BMW pulled somewhat of a Shanghai Surprise with its latest creation, a Gran Turismo-styled vehicle called the Concept CS, which the automaker previewed in advance of its Shanghai Motor Show debut later today in Shanghai.

Clearly, there's plenty of Bangle in the new design, with flame surfacing and a version of the now famous rear end treatment, along with some heritage features such as the return of the 'shark nose' front end. Check out the cut line above the rear fenders, there's a little Dodge Charger in there. BMW says the CS sports potential new design themes which the automaker says signal the next step in what its design language could look like. The CS takes the four-door coupe approach with its greenhouse. With the success Mercedes-Benz CLS, that shouldn't be surprising.

An extreme region for Automobiltuners, in which only some risk, was always BMW M-rows cars, in particular the compromiseless Z4 M-coup, a Thoroughbred, to the machine drives.But the fact that the delimitations are by reached on this extraordinary car far, is obvious from the new concept carrier by alternating current Schnitzer - the PROFILE - even at the beginning of volatile view. Classical machine co-ordinating pulling the energy high revving of the six cylinder of Inline enterprise to a durable HP 350. Only a special “active breathing” air box is used, but the engine control system unit remapped. But power isn’t enough propel, in order to receive the maximum from an athletic heart to. Thus the changed rear axle relationship of 3.91:1 makes sprint better the capacity available, while the perfectly smooth transmission with the alternating current Schnitzer short-circuit shift by the driver guarantees clear changes.

Yes, folks, GM's decided the Chevy Aveo was just so nice, they couldn't let Chevy have all the fun, now foisting the rebadged Korean econobox onto the brand that was once all about "driving excitement." But that time seems so long ago. Don't get us wrong, we're of the opinion the Chevy Aveo's a very nice little fuel-sipper that's great for the driver who never wants to, you know, enjoy driving. readmore ...

The recently launched Caparo T1 may already have met its match, and it comes from an unlikely source. New Zealand based Hulme Supercars Ltd. is planning to build an extreme race-car-for-the-road called the Hulme. Powered by a 5.0L V8 engine sourced from BMW, the Hulme develops 550 HP, but weighs in around 1175 kg, which is quite a bit more than the Caparo. The company hopes to begin production next year and claims it can build 25 cars a year. List price is an eye-watering £310,000 (US$620K).

Hulme Supercars states that the idea behind this car is to make it as close to a Formula 1 experience as possible, so the car comes with a mid-mounted engine and full carbon fiber construction. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and the car is RWD only with a LSD.

The company and car are named after Danny Hulme, who won the Can-Am championship almost 40 years ago. There are even plans to commemorate this with a Can-Am convertible version, as well as an engine designed more for American tastes. We’re not sure what they’re talking about, as big V8s from BMW are universally appealing.

Honda is currently prepping a new performance version of the Civic sedan that’s set for release in the Japan this September. Based on the already sporty Type R, the new Honda Civic Mugen RR was transformed after undergoing a power upgrade and weight reduction program in collaboration with the help of its Mugen racing division.

Power is up 15hp over the standard Type R, producing 240hp at 8,000rpm and 160lb-ft at 7,000 revs. The jump comes from modifications to the intake system and new cams as well as high-flow exhaust. Weight has been cut back with the replacement of some panels with carbon-fiber and aluminum, down 10kg once again over the standard Type R.

Other enhancements include Bridgestone Potenza tires designed specifically for the Mugen RR, a new sports suspension and uprated brakes. Inside, the car gets Recaro bucket seats with unique Mugen RR labeling. Only 300 cars will be produced, and all will be limited to Honda’s Milan Red finish.
