Peugeot Puts Forth a New Concept

Heather — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:33:07 +0000

As you can already see, Geneva is going to be chock full of new concept vehicles, and Peugeot, the French manufacturer, has yet one more concept to show there in March.

The concept is known thus far as the 5 by Peugeot, which in my humble opinion is a rather edgy and evocative name. It is the automaker’s second show car and it is going to be debuted right beside the strongly anticipated SR1.

Peugeot is set to show what they have in mind for the future with both concepts, especially their future in the segment devoted to larger luxury automobiles. The 5 has elegantly simplistic lines as well as subtler details on the technical side of things.

A Leak of Bertone’s New Pandion Concept

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.

Check out the Opel Flextreme GT/E Concept

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.

A Photographic Review of the Cadillac CTS Coupe

I am not normally a fan of Cadillac models in general, so upon finding one that I do really like — the Cadillac CTS Coupe — I decided that it was more than deserving of an on the spot review. I.E., just my personal opinions here. Of course, it is worth it to first look at some of the specs of this concept.

It definitely looks forward, straight to the future, and Cadillac has been known to call it a celebration of the brand’s heritage of design.

The reason I like the Cadillac CTS Coupe concept so much is actually because it does not really look like a Cadillac. Because, to me, the very word Cadillac speaks of something large and a little hoopty. This definitely does not.

There is something sleek about it, something deliciously compact that could almost make a convert out of me.

A Check back at the Honda Pilot Concept

Every so often — as you shall see — I like to back and check out some of my favorite concepts over the last couple of years. The Honda Pilot concept was one of my faves, because I do so like boxy looking vehicles. It is a quirk of mine, but what can I say? It would be a boring world if none of us had quirks.

This vehicle was scheduled to come out in spring of 2008. The refinement was entirely integrated, along with its packaging attributes. The whole idea behind the prototype was capability and utility running side by side with style in an SUV design.

Good deal! It was one of the most well done concepts for the new classification of small SUVs — or so said its many fans at Detroit’s Spring 2008 motor show.

Buick Means Business with this Concept!

This is the Buick Business concept, and I have to say, I sort of like it. I am not normally a fan of Buick vehicles, cars or otherwise. To me, for whatever reason — simply personal preference, probably — they just seem a little too big and bulky. You will hopefully forgive me for saying so, but they strike me as Grandpa cars, in that you expect to see older drivers behind the wheel.

I suppose I like this concept because it is big, and for all of that, it does not seem to be too awfully bulky. With other Buicks, it is like they just try to cram too much car into a smaller package, and it simply does not work.

The Business Concept works because it is supposed to be big. While classified as a Business vehicle, I can actually see it being a great family vehicle.
