Honda will be revealing their new hybrid model during the 2008 Paris Motor Show. Honda’s CEO – Takeo Fukui – stated during an interview that the new model will be similar to the FCX Clarity – a hydrogen fuel cell model. It is not uncommon for many hybrid cars to run off of the lithium ion batteries (like the FCX) – but Honda is taking a different tack.
We know that Scion has been experiencing a bit of a slump lately. So when we saw them in New York we were hoping to see something brilliant that would blow our minds and get us excited about what is to come. When we saw the concept that they had on display our minds were definitely blown away – but not in the good way.
Shelby and Ford are excited about celebrating the 40th anniversary with the production of the Shelby GT500KR that has the power to produce 540 horsepower. Ford was able to express this excitement at the New York Auto Show. Only a limited amount of these special cars were to be made – but it seems that plans have changed.
For months Suzuki has been showing us their Kizashi and Kizashi 2 concepts. We never knew exactly what plans that they had for these cars only that they sported some of the best designs that we would look forward to seeing on some of their future cars.
Ford seemed to keep things low key for most of the day at the New York Auto Show. They showed off their Transit Connect Taxi concept – which was the highlight of their show. While we were impressed with this concept we were looking for something that would attract and grab our attention.
