The New York Auto Show always brings great things to the automotive industry, and Nissan has taken this one step further with this years offering.  A Nismo tuned 350Z sports coupe.

Trying to stay on top of the sport compact sedan class, Subaru has debuted its next generation Subaru WRX sedan and Wagon at the New York Auto Show.  The car has already received some bad press due to a cover shot on Motor Trend Magazine before the show.  It will be interesting to see the public's reaction to the new design.      

Edmunds.com recently got their hands on the all new 2008 Infinity G37 Coupe that is set to debut on August 21 of this year.  The G37 Coupe, the successor to the G35 Coupe, is Infinity's response to the BMW 335i that seems to be selling like hotcakes.  The 3-series BMW has been a top seller for a number of years, and Infinity has set their sites on knocking them off the pedestal. 

The automotive sport of drifting has become quite a hit since coming from the streets of Japan.  Drifting, the art of balancing a car on the ragged edge of disaster and control, has been seen everywhere from Hollywood to comic books, and Americans are eating it up.  At any given drift event, there is one car that you are sure to find.  The 1980s Toyota Corolla GTS, or AE86, due to its light weight and rear wheel drive, makes a perfect car for drifting.  The Corolla is to drifters what the Fox Body Mustang is to drag racers.  Cheap, fast, and indestructible.  With the drifting scene taking off like it is, Toyota is looking to capitalize on this by bringing back the AE86 in the near future.

Mitsubishi Lancer Goes Diesel!  Coming to an America Near You.

The North American International Auto-show is just passed, but the chatter about profit still looms in this country.  Last we heard, the talk about some of the production plans for the Lancer in 2010 hinted at Mitsubishi scoping a new design of a 4-cylinder diesel to bring to its Lancer and Outlander SUV.

After over 30 years, 9.5 million vehicles, and a place at the top of the podium for most of that time, Honda announced the Accord Coupe concept car at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The Accord has been Honda's best selling car worldwide for years now, and Honda hopes to continue the trend into the next generation.

Lexus made a splash on the stage this year at Detroit with its new IS-F sports sedan. The bright blue paint catches your eye, the rumble of the 5.0 liter V8 grabs your eardrums, and the smells of exhaust gases fill your nose. As soon as you see it, you know something is different about this one. The huge wheels, the massive brakes, and the slammed appearance are all clues that this car was made for one reason: going fast.

Conceptual Rendering

Toyota has announced the coming unveiling of its new FT-HS Supra-style hybrid super coupe. The unveiling is due to take place at this year's Tokyo Motor Show. Initial reports indicate that the car will be capable of 400 horsepower and 4 second climbs to the 60mph marker through the use of an electric supercharger (not a misprint). Much of the car's design components are said to come from the new (and pending) Lexus GT500. The petrol-electric car will feature a 2+2-seat layout, where the rear seats will be used to store the retractable hard top roof. It is expected to make a showing at the Detroit Auto Show later this year.
