Toyota 1/X Concept.. Size of a Prius but 1/X the Weight?

The Toyota 1/x Concept correctly promounced as one-Xth where it is 1/Xth of other vehicles in its class.

The interior space is maintained similar to the Toyota Prius.

The 500cc hybrid is a combo of a FFC (Flexible Fuel Vehicle) and an electric motor with chargable batteries capabilities.

Highly rigid carbon fiber is used as the body frame.

CnA's Take on the Toyota 1/X Concept: Its boldest feature is of course its weight. Besides that, we feel it is just another hybrid. Safety wise.. we have yet to find out.

Honda CR-Z - A Rat in Disguise

Take a look at the Honda CR-Z... which stands for Compact Renaissance Zero

Though Crazy Rat Zoohicle....would be more suitable... ; )

The Honda CR-Z - Compact Renaissance Zero is acutally a rat in disguise from Beast Wars.

We just cannot help but feel this Honda really looks like a rat. We definitely prefer other models that Honda has came up with in the Past.

Very nice interior like most concept cars.

Mazda Taiki Concept From Space - Tokyo 2007 Motorshow

Seriously from the first picture it is almost impossible to tell this is a car. I thought it was from some sci-fi movie.
The second picture made us feel we were looking at some sort of evolution from Spawn..
You are looking at the all new Taiki Concept from the Tokyo 2007 Motorshow.

CnA's Take on the Mazda Taiki Concept: It will come with the next-generation RENESIS (rotary engine 16X). This will set new standards for environmental and driving performance.
Needless to say, we love the design - Interior and exterior. Who wouldn't?

Suzuki Kizashi Concept - Part Caldina, Part Metisse, Part Panther

Serving as a preview of the upcoming large D Segment sedan, the Suzuki Kizashi Concept is one head turner.
The Kizashi Concept marks the third phase og Suzuki's new world strategy with the Swift being the first bringing sportiness to the table and the Grand Vitara for the second phase bringing "families" as its main theme.

The third phase is all about status.

The Suzuki Kizashi Concept will be a sporty devilish drive with an all-wheel drive technology.

CnA's Take on the Suzuki Kizashi Concept: At a glance, this car looks part Caldina, part Metisse, part sports shoe and part panther. This car would probably be targeted for high end executives who has a soft emotional spot for the Toyota Caldina. Futuristic.

Perodua Kedidi.. The new Perodua Replacement Model?

With so many concept cars coming out these days, we have been wondering when Malaysia was coming out with theirs.

So is the Perodua Kedidi going to be a concept or hybrid car of some sort?

Or will the Perodua Kedidi be a replacement model?

We do not think it looks good for a concept car though.

Lexus LF-Xh from Tokyo Show (Super Cool Interior)

Here's a preview of the Lexus LF-Xh from the Tokyo Show... the next generation of SUVs ..
The SUV is based on the Lexus design pholosophy of L-Finesse. The Lexus LF-Xh is equipped with an advanced hybrid system.
The "Lexus Hybrid Drive" features a sophisticated fusion of superior environmental and power performance. It hopes to achieve outstanding driving performance, quiet operation, high fuel efficiency and low emissions.
Its All-wheel drive is powerpacked with a v6 gasoline engine and also a high-output electric motor hybrid system.

The Lexus LF-Xh is 4,800mm (Length), 1,895mm (width), 1650mm (height) and 2,850mm (wheelbase)

CnA's Take on the Lexus LF-Xh: We feel it is a very dynamic edgy looking SUV but it is the interior that we find very stunning. This SUV makes the current Honda Civic look like a joke. Then again.. the price for this luxurious Lexus SUV won't be a joke either.

Citroen C-Metisse Concept Car

The Citroën C-Métisse is a concept car produced by the French car manufacturer Citroën. It was first introduced in 2006 at the Paris autoshow.

It has been stated that the reason for creating such a car was to show that a hybrid car can have the same performance as a gasoline or diesel powered car.
This is not the first time that Citroën has made a hybrid car - in 2005 they revealed the hybrid powered version of the Citroën C4.
