2010 Toyota Verso-S gets

Small but fast , this is 2010 Toyota Verso-S gets , Small MPVs might not be the hottest commodities here in the United States, but these little functional wonders sell like hotcakes in other markets, especially Europe. To keep up with the growing segment, Toyota has given its Verso hatch a rather substantial makeover, and we'll see the all-new Verso-S debut at the Paris Motor Show in just a few weeks.

Upon its launch in the UK in early 2011, the Verso-S will be the shortest B-segment MPV in Europe – the car is less than four meters (157 inches) long. It's a sharp little hatch, too, looking like the lovechild of a Honda Fit and a Toyota iQ, the latter of which supplies many of the visual cues seen here on the new Verso-S.

Toyota is still keeping quiet about the full specifications, but expect the floodgates to open at the end of September closer to the little MPV's official debut. Read more in Toyota's press release, after the jump.

2010 Ferrari 599 Roadster reviews spec

this is 2010 Ferrari 599 Roadster .Revealed is too able a word, because we don’t accept a photo of the 599 Roadster. But we do accept Ferrari bang-up Luca di Montezemolo acceptance that a bead top adaptation of the 599 is on the way.

The Ferrari 599 Roadster will be the aboriginal accessible top V12 from Maranello back the 575 Superamerica bristles years ago. And, like the Superamerica, it will get an evocative name. Luca di Montezemolo says that it will be “… an emotional, adventurous name such as Italia or Fiorano”. But what it will be, he didn’t say.This particular 599 roadster was rosso fuoco – a rare and expensive multi-layer red – and had silver buttresses. It also had a new wheel design. The best news about this new model was that the engine will come from the recently unveiled 599 GTO and that the convertible will weigh no more than the current 599 GTB coupe. It will be priced at a premium over the GTO and will be limited to just 100 units. There was no indication of what this new model will be called, but Barchetta and SuperAmerica were used on the 550 and 575 convertibles, so maybe one of those will be resurrected...or possibly another name from Ferrari's past, like Monza. Sales were tentatively promised for Summer 2011."

2010 Donto Motors P1

This is 2010 Donto Motors P1 .If you've never heard of Argentina-based Donto Motors before, you're not alone. However, just because this company has remained out of the spotlight doesn't mean they don't have big things in the works – how about a hardcore track day racer designed to compete with the likes of the Ariel Atom and KTM X-Bow? If it ever sees production, Donto Motors' P1 should easily fit right in with these odd/awesome track toys.

The rear-mounted engine is a Volkswagen/Audi-sourced 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-four that produces 180 horsepower, and it looks like Donto took visual cues from Audi, as well. The front end's large side vents are reminiscent of a certain supercar that we've grown quite fond of, and the rest of the body work is made up of a split construction, in which it's designed to look as if the body is floating on the FIA-approved chassis. The whole thing weighs just over 1,500 pounds, too, so we imagine that the end result will be a spirited little whip for track day fun.

That Toyota's marketing team produced such a commercial proves they know exactly who buys the Avalon: people who were alive and watching television 50 years ago. Since a "jet-smooth ride" and "quiet cabin" don't set an enthusiast's soul ablaze, we're taking Toyota's hint and getting in the mood for our review of the updated Avalon by donning a cardigan, ordering a scotch and soda and developing a one-sided friendship with Alex Trebec. So let's phrase it in the form of a question: How good is the 2011 Toyota Avalon? Follow the jump to find out.

2011 Honda CR-Z Review Specification

Okay, so the 2011 Honda CR-Z isn't absolutely the modern-day CRX redux that we were all acquisitive for. Mildly upsetting, yes, but conceivably this disappointment blah our antecedent consequence of this newest amalgam alms from Honda. We still acquire abounding questions about its anatomy and function, but charge to acquire the actuality that times acquire changed, Honda's artefact strategies acquire been realigned to the times and the CRX shall abide a avant-garde archetypal – abnormally the Si. Besides, this little two-seat amalgam isn't absolutely all that bad. Really.

What we acquire actuality is an inherently acceptable agent that doesn't accomplish a accomplished lot of sense. It alone has two seats and its EPA ammunition abridgement numbers are underwhelming. A Ford Fiesta, for example, is added functional, beneath big-ticket and gets about the aforementioned accumulated ammunition abridgement – at atomic compared to a manual-equipped CR-Z like our tester.

But don't address off the CR-Z completely. It may be a boxy advertise back looked at from a big account perspective, but on its own, it's a appealing acceptable little whip. Follow the jump to acquisition out why.

2010 Mazda Shinari

When Mazda invited us to Milan to see its new concept car, we knew it must be something important. Normally concept cars get their 15 minutes of fame at an auto show, and then it's off to the next press conference to see what the following automaker will introduce. Not so with Mazda's latest styling endeavor. The Japanese automaker wanted our full and undivided attention, with the center of international design and fashion in Italy as a fitting backdrop.

The Shinari concept, which roughly translates to "resistance to being bent," will serve as a the basis for Mazda's new design language, and many of the styling cues will make it to future production vehicles. That means that the Shinari will essentially affect the design of every vehicle coming from the Japanese automaker for the next several years. An important car for Mazda? You bet.
