2008 Acura MDX, Acura Future Cars

2008 Acura MDX
So what will 2008 Acura MDX future car will have in offering. Well, speculations are already high with Acura fans for this future car. The new 2008 Acura MDX will for sure have super handling all wheel drive with a V-6 engine. There will not be a lot of changes but long awaited changes like HID headlight, LED Taillights and 20 inch 5 spoke alloy wheels could not be ruled out.

The car first got full public view at 2006 New York Auto Show. The current model preliminary pictures are already available with the dealers but with very minor details. 2008 Acura MDX is likely to resemble Acura RDX in a big way. The wheels of the car look a bit bigger in the new version.

Rear doors of the car also look bigger which is going to give a better access to the people at 3rd row. Though V6 engine is going to be there in the car, in my opinion V8 would have been better as most of the cars in this category have them.

Chevrolet HHR Concept Sema Edition

Chevrolet HHR Concept Sema Edition
Is it sedan, wagon, or a SUV? Well I would say none of them. Some cars defy the definitions and 2006 Chevrolet HHR Sema Edition is one of them. The car is fitted with Ecotec 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 270 horsepower (201 kw) at 5600 rpm. The concept car gives great fuel economy with low exhaust emissions. Other important features include large-diameter brake rotors, calipers, a performance exhaust system, GM-designed 19-inch aluminum wheels up front, and 20-inchers in back that is mounted with low-profile BF Goodrich performance tires. There are quite a number of configurations for this, which includes:

  • Chevrolet HHR Concept where there will be 2 doors in place of 4 doors as present in the production model of Chevrolet HHR which will stretch the car by 6 inches.

  • Chevrolet HHR open-air show car, which will have open air in front, and 2nd row seats fitted with 5 panel glass roof which will be operated electronically.

  • Chevrolet HHR Tuner Panel, in this car the rear doors and one quarter of glass will be covered by aluminum panels which will give it a panel truck look. This will provide an added security to 63.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity once the rear seats are removed.
HHR stands for Heritage High Roof. Great looking vehicle in production form with good concepts, HHR's real target is the compact crossover market. Same designer who designed PT designed Chevrolet HHR. It seems that GM is quite convinced with the formula, which made PT Cruiser a runaway success.

Now, something about the car. The grill looks great and blends with the styling of the car in giving it an athletic look. The front of the car is done very nicely. Front intake looks very identical to the exhausts. HHR is great because it is original, stylish and practical.

2006 Mitsubishi Concept D:5 a concept minivan for next-generation Delica model. The car promises high-mobility, high-functionality, classy living space, and Delica's legendary all-terrain capabilities. 2006 Mitsubishi Concept D5 is being derived from its advanced 4WD system, Mitsubishi Concept D:5 offers a refined and rugged design with a assurance of high end protective safety measures.

In the lines of Outlander Mitsubishi Concept D:5 has electronically controlled four-wheel drive system. With all wheel control system the the minivan aims at providing maximum driving pleasure. The power train mates a new 2.4-liter MIVEC engine to a Sport Mode 6-speed CVT. Mitsubishi Concept D:5 integrates active safety vehicle (ASV) technology that supports the driver in working his vehicle safely and lessens strain. 2006 Mitsubishi Concept D5 also brings innovative active and passive protection technologies to the minivan/SUV category.

The styling creates a wide-&-lifted mono-box architecture that is unambiguously Delica in taste. Pushing the New Mitsubishi Motors Design, the styling threads and weaves handsome, purposeful lines into a function-oriented appearance. In creating the basic form, the design team went for a mono-box architecture crafted with straight lines and with an understated nose. Minimizing design elements, the understated surface composition readily invokes the powerfully built lines of the Delica series while adding a fashionable tautness to create a robust and solid appearance

Hybrid cars, diesel cars, or something else

hybrid car

Gas electric hybrid has not been used with its full potential and questions are being raised at its success. Plug in recharging and diesel engines are making news these days with their greater fuel saving and higher mileage capability. A hybrid car costs $3000 more then a conventional car where as a diesel hybrid cars cost $4600 more then a conventional car. With these figures it does not seems that diesel cars could make a commercial success in recent times.

Gasoline hybrid cars use gasoline and electric power by which it gives better fuel economy and less emission. Now replace gasoline with diesel and the same car becomes diesel hybrid car. Companies like Daimler Chrysler has its version of diesel hybrid car Ram pickup in the market and is going to introduce another namely Sprinter vans. GM also sells diesel hybrid systems for buses. Golf from Volkswagen is also under production. Opel Astra diesel version made by GM is claimed to give 59 mpg.

With so many automakers, going for diesel hybrid cars it seems unlikely that they might have missed its market viability. I am sure in coming years diesel hybrid cars, fuel cell cars, and gasoline hybrid cars will go neck to neck. Oh! I forgot hydrogen cars.
