Toyota is the top automaker right now … we all know that, but did you know that their latest concept car is the Toyota FT-EV II?  This is a car that was actually debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show and honestly, this particular car looks … well, weird doesn’t it?

The Toyota FT-EV II Concept Car is actually a mini-car that is going to be electric, but it does not look like all of the other mini-electric cars, which is good I guess.

The iQ is actually where the Toyota FT-EV II Concept Car was born from and while I can appreciate that fact, I still think that they could make the Toyota FT-EV II Concept Car a little less … strange.

Okay folks, what automakers do you think is the best out there?  The automaker that is really making waves with all of their cars and the one that is certainly going to be the main event at the Tokyo Motor Show?  Well – the answer is the Mitsubishi automaker.  Know why?  Well, the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV of course!

This is a concept CUV that will be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show and I have to say that it is certainly going to be one CUV that I am going to fall in love with.  Not only is the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV cool looking all around but it is actually a plug-in hybrid crossover, which is what … the first right?

So if you are looking for a brand new CUV, the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV is the vehicle for you – it looks awesome and is certainly going to gain you some attention.

While I know that there are a hell of a lot of crossover vehicles out there right now, to me, the Hyundai Tucson ix35 is by far the best one.  Not only does it look good on the road, but at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it was definitely in the spotlight and it owned it!  While most people think that the Hyundai Tucson ix35 looks like every other crossover vehicle, to me – it looks different.

I think that the lines looks cleaner and crisper and I think that overall, the Hyundai Tucson ix35 is going to make an impact.  The new Hyundai Tucson ix35 – right now is being offered up with a 2.0L engine and a six-speed automatic slushbox.

If you are looking for a brand new crossover – the Hyundai Tucson ix35 is definitely the car for you!

Finally, it has been confirmed that while there are going to be some stand-alone dealerships, Buick and GMC are not going to be apart of that particular crowd.  Most of the time, GMC is only known for their trucks and while GM should not exactly keep this particular brand around – they want to and they are going to team it up with Buick.  Every dealership you see come October, 2010 is going to be Buick-GMC, no more stand-alone.

Personally, I think this is the smartest thing that they can do.  Consolidating every dealership is smart, hell, from a customer’s point of view, they should be able to go to one place to buy everything and that is just the way it should be … while logically, I know that is not going to happen, if GM has a bunch of brands under their wing, just smush them together and the customers will be happy.

On a side note – you want anymore Pontiacs, you better get your butt in gear because the prices have been slashed and they are selling!

The world of hybrid cars is truly an amazing one and to be perfectly honest, I am one of the people that are so excited at the possibility of driving a car that is fully electric.  We are slowly but surely moving toward that point, especially with the much anticipated launch of the Nissan EV Leaf – however, did you hear about the new kid on the block?

Chinese automaker BYD have actually started creating an all-electric car and they plan on releasing it into the states right around the same time as the Nissan Leaf – the BYD e6 Electric MPV is the name.

While this five-seat crossover is the first one to hit the market with a just over $40,000.00, the details on the launch itself are very slim.  However, the BYD e6 Electric MPV is going to be limited on availability – so if you want one of these puppies, you are going to have to move fast!

We all know that the Gemballa brand is one brand that is known for taking the Porsche’s latest model and turning it into something different and unique – that is definitely what they have done here with the Gemballa Mistrale.  This beautiful car is something that has come out of the all new Porsche Panamera and this particular body kit looks awesome to me.  Sport cars are the wave of the future it seems like and the Gemballa Mistrale is absolutely no exception to that rule.

It seems that the hood on the Gemballa Mistrale is somewhat matching to the Porsche version and while there are some differences, there are not a whole lot … seriously.  Every time that Porsche comes out with a new car – the Gemballa Mistrale is going to do the same thing it seems like.

The Gemballa Mistrale does look good though … you have to admit that – right?  I mean seriously, it’s beautiful!

When you are looking for a car – your first thought probably does not go out to a car that has been around for a while right?  Well, mind does and that I why I just had to let you know about this beautiful and classic Rolls-Royce.  This car is currently tucked away in India and while I know that I will never actually get to see it up close, I just thought that you guys should see a car that is not only beautiful – but is classic.

The Rolls-Royce is a 1934 car and it is actually a Phantom II 40/50 HP.  While it might not go from 0 to 100 very fast, it is a classic car that is beautiful to look at.  While I think that fourteen million dollars is a little more than I’d like to ever spend on a car … the Rolls-Royce is a car that is so worth it!

So if you are looking for a car that is going to be beautiful to ride around in but a car that will cost you a pretty penny to own – the Rolls-Royce is the car for you!

If there is one car that is by far the most anticipated car in the world, it has got to be the Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid.  Personally, I have been waiting for Honda to come out with another cool looking hybrid car.  I personally love Honda cars, I think that they are built incredible, they look awesome and all around, it is a fantastic investment!  However, the fact that they do not have enough choices in the hybrid department is something that I have been waiting for them to expand.

That is why I can not wait for the Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid to come out!  This car not only looks really, really friggin’ cool, but I have to say that it is going to be one of the hottest cars on the market as soon as it does come out.  Hybrid cars nowadays are becoming increasingly popular and while I know that Honda has the CRX, I think that the CR-Z is going to be much better.

If you are looking for a Honda car that is a hybrid and you can wait a year – just wait for the Sporty 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid to come out, it is well-worth the wait!

If there is one car brand in the world that I have absolutely fallen head over the heels for, it has got to be VW.  While most people, when they think of Volkswagen just associate this particular brand with the bug, VW has actually come up with quite some creations – like the 2010 VW Golf Variant.

This car, while not out yet, is going to be one of the coolest family cars in the world;  everything from the tip of the front bumper all the way to the back bumper is extremely fashionable and all around – I think it looks hot.

The 2010 VW Golf Variant has also been revised from the original 2009 version, with more rear space and a larger luggage compartment, which is available when the rear seats are folded on down.  The prices for the 2010 VW Golf Variant is going to start around $20,000 but that is pretty cheap considering the car that you are getting.

The name of the car is a very important aspect of the car.  For example, the 2010 Toyota iQ is a car that needs to blow away the competition in performance and in overall style and fashion.  Personally, I think that this car as.  Toyota has picked something different to do with the entire architecture of the car, measuring it only at about ten feet in length and about five and a half feet in width.  So this car is truly the ideal compact car as it is only five feet in height as well.  In short though, it can still seat up to four people extremely comfortably.

One way that Toyota was smart when they were creating this particular car is the fact that they cut back on the dashboard space and they reduced a lot of the depth of the door panels, which all gives you space to move if you are looking for some space.  While most people think that a car like this is not going to be able to stand up to the elements and pass through all of the tests, Toyota is extremely confident in this product and expect this car to pass through everything with a five star rating.

With a total of twelve air bags that will guard every single person from injury, this car absolutely has everything a family would need in it!
