Beijing '08 Preview: Geely GT concept to debut

Mar 26th 2008 9:49PM on Autoblog

Mmmust....hate...chinese...styling...

Nup, sorry, can't push out the derision today. I'm quite impressed by these renders (though do, get rid of that grille).

Now for the accompanying increase in quality, a tough imported turbo or v8 motor and Geeley's on their way.

Timewarp is right, and is that thing carby?

Now if only BMW would do the Mini Cooper *properly* along old school lines.

C&D tests GT-R, runs 11.5-second quarter

'Demolish' is a bit of an exaggeration I think, but would love to see that tested for sure.

The V-Spec will reduce weight, always does.

It is quite heavy compared to previous generation GT-R's but that's because of added safety, a bigger engine (3.8 vs 2.6 though the RB26DETT was not really a lightweight) and more gizmo's than any previous bare bones GT-R.

Still manages reasonable economy given what it is.

Kizashi, just stunning. And from small car maker Suzuki no less.

Because Youtube is an extremely reliable source of information on an entire people.

Massive prejudice mate, it's not on.

Very tough car, and pillarless too. I'm guessing 6.2L LS9.

Yum.

REPORT: Alan Mulally wants an FG Falcon

Ok? Maybe the headlights, but that's where it ends.

I don't see Acura's with a big torquey 360HP+ 4.0L DOHC inline 6 with a turbo strapped on for good measure?

The Falcon XR6 Turbo has great potential for tuning too.

Nissan GT-R can't take aftermarket wheels, unapproved race tracks are out

Feb 7th 2008 7:45PM on Autoblog

Definitely not impressed by these measures, Nissan.

The aftermarket is where the fun begins, as should be abundantly clear with the incredible popularity with the previous CA, SR, RB, VQ etc powered 'tuner' Nissans.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
