</CENTER><CENTER> </CENTER><CENTER>Acura MD-X Concept. Acura is giving us a glimpse of the 2007 MDX with this MD-X concept, like the company did with the RDX prototype in Detroit earlier this year. (RDX arrives in New York in final trim.) The redesigned MDX comes to market with styling cues from this concept, including the flush-mounted windshield, a wide track and 20-inch wheels. Acura isnt talking details, but we expect the production car will feature a 3.5-liter V6 and Super Handing All-Wheel Drive. The engine will likely produce about 260 hp and may gain fuel-saving cylinder-deactivation (as in the Honda Odyssey minivan). A hybrid to compete with the Lexus RX 400h is under consideration. Look for the production MDX in showrooms this fall.

Scion Fuse Concept

 

[slug420]

isnt a fuse something that breaks when it gets too much power? woulda been funny if the protege was called the fuse

 

[mountjonas]

hmmm, i kinda like that fuse.

 

[Newf]

we need companies to start releasing these concepts just as they are. That fuse is unique, i like it. But by the time it's released it'll probably be just another cookie cutter type car again. You ask me, all cars look alike these days. One thing I'll give chrysler credit for is daring designs that are different from the norm.

 

[Kansei]

OH no. I can't stand the rear of the Altima in any of the pictures but the front end looks AWESOME IMO.

Interior stepped it up another notch, I think I'd rather the 3-spoke in my mom's altima though.

Oh and slug.. word on the street is that there aren't plans for an SE-R of the new gen Altima.

2007 Subaru WRX STI Limited


Limited to just 800 units, this U.S.-only STI variant is aimed at the shy, quiet wannabe banzai rally driver. The transformation from wild-child base STI to the business casual STI Limited was achieved primarily by swapping the regular car's gargantuan rear wing and roof-vane spoiler for a far more subtle, single decklid spoiler. The Limited also gets foglamps, a front air dam, unique Enkei wheels, and black Brembo calipers in place of the usual gold grippers. Inside, heated leather seats, satellite radio, and a sunroof improve the livability. Of the 800 cars, half will be painted white and half will be gray.

Actually this is pretty much the same as the UK's Spec D edition.

2007 Subaru Legacy Spec B

Subaru also showed the Legacy Spec B, which was a special edition for 2006, but will be a full-fledged model for '07. The new model gains a sixth forward ratio for the manual gearbox and an electronic throttle and torque management system that Subaru calls SI Drive. SI Drive has three settings: intelligent, sport, and sport sharp. Set to intelligent, the system retards the Spec B's power output and dulls throttle response in an attempt to eliminate the car's jumpy turbo characteristics and make it easier to drive in day-to-day traffic. Subaru claims that this mode will increase fuel economy by ten percent. Sport mode is the default setting, and sport sharp will heighten throttle reponse and make gearshifts more aggressive in cars equipped with an automatic transmission. SI Drive will also be fitted to all turbo Legacy GTs and Outback XTs.

Honda + turbo? I'm so confused

Honda + turbo? I'm so confused

2.3L direct injection 4 cylinder.

 

[Kansei]

2.3L direct injection 4 cylinder.

But is it just me or does Honda not turbo cars? I mean they make some nice strong engines that can handle it but they always leave them naturally aspirated it seems.

because turbo power is dirrrrty power
