Corvette ZR1



- Just like the end of the run Trans Am this is one aweful looking car.

“””The Corvette variant, now officially known as the ZR1 was first reported by several print and online publications who were speculating that Chevrolet was developing a super high performance production version of the Corvette and were internally calling it Blue devil (named after GM CEO Rick Wagoner's alma mater, Duke University). Wagoner is quoted as saying, "I wonder what they can do for 100,000 dollars?" during a GM board meeting speaking about Chevrolet designers being able to produce a Corvette for a larger amount of money than any other Corvette before. The production version is expected to debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show and be available as a 2009 model.”””

Mitsubishi Se-Ro



- Taking its name from "secret room,"

“””The second prototype, called the Se-Ro and exhibited at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show, previewed the production model's more conventional mechanical underpinnings, despite having a more radical appearance which bore little resemblance to the final design.[17] Instead, its polished aluminium body was styled to resemble a zeppelin or airship.[18][19] The aviation theme continued with the name; Se-Ro, short for "secret room", was a veiled reference to the Mitsubishi Zero fighter aircraft of World War II. “”””

Subaru Exiga



- Take away the side skirting and you have the next generation Forester.

“””The latest incarnation of the Subaru WRX STI isn't the only vehicle Subaru is showcasing at Tokyo this year. Alongside the Japanese automaker's rally-racer will be two new concepts and Japanese-market limited-edition models of the Impreza hatchback and the Legacy Outback wagon.”””

Audi Cross Cabriolet



- It reminded me of the PT Cruiser from one angle, for some reason...put it in black and that will go away.

“””Audi took the L.A. setting seriously to introduce its small convertible concept. After introducing the Metrojet concept last month, this convertible looks to be bigger, but perhaps the two will usher in a new line of small cars to combat BMW’s 1 Series. The concept is a soft-top convertible, practically a rarity in these days of retractable hardtops.”””
