London 2008: Renaultsport Megane R26.R {Autoblog}
Jul 22nd 2008 10:46PM @Velsatis The Cobalt SS point is confusing. Think you are trying to knock the SS though. It isn't far behind this car and is actually a mass market vehicle here in the states instead of a low volume special build like this R26.R. To me the fact it isn't far behind makes the Cobalt SS more impressive as it is obviously not in nearly as high a state of tune as this R26.R. Hard to say what time a Cobalt in this level of stripped down, stiffened up, and carbon fiber bits used on this could get a Cobalt down too?

New Impala won't be shown until next year {Autoblog}
Jan 8th 2007 4:01PM Yeah. I figure also they don't want to show a new Impala so soon after the refresh of the current one. Not to mention the fact they seem to like to show near production ready concepts if something like the concept will eventually be produced. The Volt for example isn't for sure going to be produced so was allowed to be a more true concept.
Honda reveals the Advanced VTEC engine {Autoblog}
Sep 26th 2006 5:36AM Also this whole VTEC thing isn't for me. Helps make for impressive HP numbers and the extra torque is a step in the right direction, but if the wimpy cam lobe is gonna be even more efficient now, all that means to me is that it is going to be even MORE gutless until the switch to the lumpy cam. I just can't stand driving my accord as you have to keep the engine revved WAY up to get ANYTHING out of it. And then fuel milage isn't that impressive at all. To me basically VTEC makes it easy to get good gas milage, but a pain in the ass to get the experience of the added power of the lumpy cam lobe gives it. IMHO I would rather have a more traditional approach or maybe BMW's more varialble approach.

Toshiba SED rollout planned for late 2007 {Engadget}
Mar 9th 2006 12:21PM What a bummer. Been looking really forward to this. Benoit, I think you are correct about last August, I had read that also. At CES this year they were claiming the first sets would be on sale this year. My guess is that you will be able to get them starting this year at some $10k+ limited production price and only in the 50" size. Next year they will go into mass production and have a full line of models ready for the Olympic games. They never really pointed out specifically until now when the big retail introduction would be, just when sets would start to go on sale. Think Plasma happened the same way if I remember correctly. You could get them for extreme amounts of money through odd supply channels for a few years before you started seeing them at Best Buy and such. Just my $0.02
