Sleek. Fast. Luxurious. Those are just a few of the adjectives used to described the leaked pictures of the Pandion concept created by none other than Stile Bertone.

You might recognize certain facets of the concept, considering that it is based around the notoriously gorgeous 8C Competizione, from Alfa. Called a “2+2″ seater, the name comes from a king of Greek myth; it is set to be unveiled next month in Geneva, at the annual motor show.

Pininfarina is a rival for Pandion and they, too, based a concept around an Alfa Romeo design — which will also be revealed in Geneva. Bertone’s concept, too, is a celebration for Alfa’s one hundredth birthday.

You seriously haven’t seen anything until you have seen the new Opel Flextreme GT/E concept. Open plans to reveal this extended range concept next month at the motor show in Geneva.

The Flextreme GT/E’s body is totally aerodynamic, and as such, it is meant to point to the direction the brand wants to take with its design aesthetic in the future.

Up to this point, GM has showed only the most fleeting teases and sketches of the new concept, which has five doors and LED lamps shaped like wings.

The cabin is a four seater and it can be accessed through light sensors, which actually take the place of any door handles.

For those of you that have been looking forward to the exciting new Volvo C30 EV, if you live in the states, unfortunately, you will not be able to drive this awesome hybrid anywhere.  Instead, this particular Volvo is only going to be sold in the European Union   The reason for it is because of EU Regulations.

Basically, the EU regulations require the automakers to cut back on the carbon dioxide (C02) that they are using by 25% and unfortunately, this is one car that did not cut it.  The rules of course are going to tighten down the way and the Volvo C30 EV is just one car that is not going to cut it.

So guys, if you had your heart set on the Volvo C30 EV – you are going to have to find another hybrid to lust after.

Although the way you drive in the snow is very, very important, you want to make sure that you are paying attention to the other drivers as well.  That is what we are going to concentrate on this particular blog.  First, you want to make sure that you are extremely careful on the bridges, as they hold most ice.

You also want to make sure that you are careful on overpasses as well as roads that are not traveled all that often, as those roads can hold more snow and ice than any other roads.

Finally, you want to make sure that you do not pass by any snow plows or sanding trucks, as the drivers have very limited visibility and they can actually hit you without actually knowing.

Now that we have talked about your speed — let’s go ahead and move onto how you should stop when it is snowy out.  One thing that I do in order to stop myself from skidding all over the place is pumping my brakes.  Just braking extremely gently can actually make all of the difference.

You also want to make sure that you have your lights on, that way any other drivers can see exactly where you are.  If you are driving in a manual car, you want to make sure that you use low gears – that way you will keep the traction that you have.

Do not ever use cruise control when you are driving in the snow, as it can actually make you hit bad spots versus avoiding them.
