Veloster, made by Hyundai... the drivers side looks good, the back looks good... so half the car looks fine... why didn't they do a good front design? Why not just a 2 door? Are any parents going to buy this anyway? Why a backseat door?

 See what I mean... nothing wrong here, drivers side and back look fine.

 And then you see that someone caved into the concept that Hyundai couldn't sell a 2 seater, 2 door. What? Why not? Just a commuter, with great gas mileage, great interior (a gallery sometime in the near future) for single people, college kids, high schoolers, and people who want a nice car to get to work with while getting better han 35 miles per gallon. Too much to ask? No one is competing in that small necessity market.

 See the small black areas on the bottom sides? Useless. They have lights if you waste the money. Above them and below the headlights? Aerodynamic parachutes. Stupid. Should have been smooth

Drivers side shows that a 2 door would have been a good idea, a good looking idea.

I bought it because of the 35 mpg (I have gotten 35mpg, you might get better if you drive softer) the great seats, best factory stereo sound in a 19thou price range car, 17 inch rims (most cars around 19 thou have steel rims with plastic covers (SUCK!)) with Nexen 215-45's, center console with huge storage, cupholders where the driver can reach them comfortably, and most importantly... a 6 speed standard. No automatic.

2012 BMW B6 Biturbo Coupe by Alpina

Filed under: Alpina BMW | coupe | BMW M6 | BMW 6-Series | sports cars | BMW M-series |

While many are sitting back, patiently waiting for the arrival of the BMW M6, German tuner Alpina has been hard at work on a project that will shed some light on the future model. Their new B6 Biturbo Coupe may not be as impressive as the upcoming M6, which is rumored to deliver about 600 HP, but it’s here now. Plus, we’re sure Alpina left enough room for a new tuning package for the M6.

But back to their Alpina B6 Biturbo Coupe. The B6 is an evolution of the old 507 HP B6 cabrio, but uses an aluminum twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, equipped with MAHLE pistons and a high-performance cooling system. This setup is give for a total output of 540 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. With the extra power, the B6 Biturbo will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and will hit a top speed of 198 mph. Alpina has also opted for a Akrapovic titanium exhaust system that will make the car sound better than ever and, of course, a new set of 20" Alpina Classic rims fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

For the aerodynamic updates, the B6 BiTurbo Coupe has been fitted with a front spoiler, an integrated carbon fiber front splitter, and a rear spoiler with an optional rear wing. The interior was also revamped with a sport steering wheel, hand-stitched in LAVALINA leather, blue illuminated entry sills, a navigation system with preparation for Bluetooth mobile phone, USB audio interface, Xenon lights, and LED fog lights.

2012 Audi A1 Samurai Blue

Posted on 11.30.2011 18:00 by Kirby Filed under: Audi | hatchback | Audi A1 | Tokyo Motor Show | special editions

In the middle of all the concept debuts and race prototypes being unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, one car that’s neither of those things is fetching some serious attention.

The car is a special one-off Audi A1 that’s inspired by the Japanese National Soccer Team. Affectionately called the A1 Samurai Blue, the one-off car has been dressed in the official colors - blue and white - of the Samurai Blue, the nickname given to the country’s soccer team. Complimenting the two-color exterior paint finish is a red color - the same hue as that of the Japanese flag - that was used on the rear spoiler and the set of 18" wheels provided. The exterior also sports the logo of the Blue Samurais on both sides of the car, as well as on the roof.

The interior equipment of the A1 Samurai Blue has been dressed in black with contrasting blue stitching. Colorful accents are also found on various parts of the interior, including the air vent nozzle, the inlays, the center console, and the floor mats.

Under its hood, no performance enhancements were done on the car so the A1 Samurai Blue is powered by a standard 1.4-liter TFSI engine that produces 122 horsepower. No surprise there.

The whole purpose of the A1 Samurai Blue is for Audi to sell the one-off model and have part of the profit donated to charity. So if you happen to have a heart of gold and fancy a one-off Audi A1 like this, you might need to get to stepping and be the lucky one to go home with this ultra exclusive piece of A1 eye candy.
