Campagna unveiled its T-Rex, which is being touted as a luxury vehicle. The T-Rex comes with a 197-horsepower Kawasaki motorcycle engine and can reach speeds of up to 144 miles per hour. It is almost impossible for you to get this three wheeler as there may no plans be to introduce this cool vehicle commercially. The T-Rex reminds me of the quirky [...]

This year, the Tokyo Motor Show 2009 has been particularly dismal. There have been less number of participants than last year and very few visitors as well. It could be due to the market and how people have no more money to spend on fancy cars. Last year, there were many participants from other countries as well, including the U.S. This year, only one [...]

The 1980 Mazda Familia hatchback, 1981 Toyota Soarer Coupe, the GT HYBD, Mazda’s 1970 500cc rotary-powered RX-500 Concept, Mitsubishi’s 1917 A Model and a first generation (1976-1981) Honda Accord CVCC three-door hatchback were some of the classic cars displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show 2009.

The Honda CR-Z concept looks very similar to the Skydeck concept and I am plagued with doubts if the two cars are the same. The CR-Z concept is apparently very near to production in February 2010. The car seems to take inspiration from Audi, which definitely isn’t a great thing as it lacks originality. The interiors look like they are full of [...]

Honda Skydeck has been unveiled recently at the Tokyo Motor Show 2009 and it looks pretty much like he Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept which I wrote about some time ago. This car too comes with the weird door arrangement but it still looks cool though. The rather skewed door opening arrangement may be replaced with a normal one when it is finally unveiled [...]

If you were wondering why there have been no cool cars and vehicles unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show 2009, I would say it is because the car and automobile market has really suffered after the recession. Though the market is brightening and the companies are beginning to stop making recession as an excuse to pay their employees less, it still might [...]

INFINITI is Nissan’s luxury brand which is planning to compete with likes of Audi by unveiling some seriously luxurious vehicles. In fact, they are planning to launch a new small car that would challenge the Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series. The car would be electric and would run on lithium ion batteries. Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn revealed that the small [...]

Daihatsu’s e:S concept comes with a lightweight body and a 660cc 3 cylinder engine. It may appear small but packs in a lot more than you could possibly imagine. The car measures just 3.1 meter and comes with some really bright headlights that are quirky in some senses. It comes with a fuel economy of 70mpg and with a kerbweight of 700kg, it isn’t [...]

Mitsubishi Motor Corporation is seeking to make an entry into the already burgeoning Filipino market by introducing new vehicles and increasing the level of visibility in that country. Philippines is a major consumer of automobiles in the region and Osamu Masuko, president of Mitsubishi revealed that Mitsubishi’s market share in the Philippines has [...]

The Tokyo Motor Show 2009 saw a number of new cars, both electric and conventional all vying against each other. What makes this year’s show different is that many companies are already talking about mass producing hydrogen powered cars. Honda president Takanobu Ito revealed that hydrogen powered cars are still a farfetched dream but the future [...]
