Honda SkyDeck Concept: Definitely Hot!
Honda is one of those companies that honestly – is constantly changing and updating and that is something that I absolutely love about them. You never – ever know what to expect from Honda and that is something that rocks! If you are familiar with Honda products – you should definitely take a look at their newest concept design, the Honda SkyDeck Concept.
This particular concept is one that I am really looking forward to. Not only does the Honda SkyDeck Concept look extremely futuristic, but it is also one that actually seats about six people – which is huge!
Another thing that I love about the Honda SkyDeck Concept is the entire front-end as well as the windshield. I think that this concept is going to become a reality.

Twelve more cars will be auctioned to the best bidder to help certain foundations. The 14 car line up is its biggest in the history of the car auction.
The Camaro bears the stamped VIN 100001 and the winning bidder can choose if he wants a V6 or a V8 under the hood and decide if he will couple it with an automatic or manual transmission. The Camaro proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association
The GT500 with 540 horsepower is also set to sell fast among car lovers who can dole out some check to aid the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The earning from the sale of the Ford F-150 Raptor will also be donated to the same foundation.
Prototypes of these cars will be displayed during the auction and the first to get off the assembly lines from the car maker’s plant will be going to the top bidder.
The three cars get the center stage but the rest of the line up are real head turners as well.
‘09 Nissan Cube - Ugliest Car EVER
I’m a reasonable Nissan fan (I like the GT-R, I like the Skyline), but this 2009 Customizable Nissan Cube must be the ugliest piece of automobility I have EVER EVER EVER seen.
I’m so disgusted by this car. BAH BAH BAH.
2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible Wows Crowd at L.A. Auto Show
No one was disappointed when the Infiniti G37 2009 convertible was officially unveiled during the L.A. Auto Show. The car marks the re-enlivened drop top production after the M30 convertible last produced in 1992.

Riding the 2009 Toyota Venza in Southwestern PA
Southwestern Pennsylvania was the absolute place to be for the launch of the 2009 Toyota Venza. Car journalists have joined the event and give you a glimpse of how this new and coming Toyota performs:
The 2009 Toyota Venza is a product of the mixture of the sport utility vehicle’s attitude and the passenger car’s convenience. Although Toyota’s latest vehicle can be reminiscent of a station wagon, the car rides low in real time. Car enthusiasts also believe that when subjected to the right car pimping, the Venza would definitely be the anti-SUV.

What follows, in no particular order, is a short list of some of the more interesting offerings that’ll soon be materializing in showrooms near you:
2008 Mercedes Benz C350
The folks at Daimler like to pretend the redesigned C Class got most of its styling DNA from Mercedes’ flagship S Class. Who are they trying to kid? Sure, if your eyes sweep over the new C Class sedan, you’ll see a linkage to its stylish big brother. But it’s equally clear that Mercedes’ designers taped pictures of BMW’s 3 Series to their computer terminals as they went about concocting the C Class’s exterior.
With the exception of the car’s front grill fascia, the C350’s aggressive, angular new sheetmetal is evocative of nothing if not the 3 Series. There’s a clear-cut need for an automotive paternity test when it comes to determining the C Class’s lineage.
From a driving standpoint, the C350’s genes are all Mercedes. Which is to say the little Mercedes handles quite well, but doesn’t deliver the taut steering and suspension feedback the 3 Series is renowned for. That’s not a knock, because few cars do. › Continue reading
