BMW X6 M  

The new BMW X6 M.

The new success story in the next powerful chapter of BMW M high-performance vehicles: experience the first BMW M GmbH Sports Activity Coupé with intelligent four-wheel xDrive powered by a highly-efficient M TwinPower Turbo engine with 4.4 litre capacity and 555 hp (408 kW).

The M TwinPower Turbo in the BMW X6 M.

World premiere: as soon as you start the highly efficient EU5 engine, it becomes unmistakably clear that the first M TwinPower Turbo with 555 hp is not just impressive on paper. Its more than 126 hp per litre output sets standards while the patented cross-bank exhaust manifold and two Twin Scroll turbochargers guarantee maximum power flow and optimum transfer of exhaust gas energy to the turbocharger rotors. As a result, the M TwinPower Turbo unit boasts faster turbocharger response than any other Turbo engine in the world. With high torque of 680 Nm that remains constant over an extremely wide rev range, from 1,500 to 5,650 rpm, this is an astonishingly potent machine.

M light-alloy wheels for the BMW X6 M.

The 20-inch M light-alloy double-spoke 300M wheels with mixed tyres emphasise the BMW X6 M's sporting character while the polished finish underlines its dynamic presence. For understated elegance, the optional 20-inch M light alloy V-spoke 299M wheels provides a great alternative. Both light-alloy wheels come with high-speed tyres as standard and deliver precise responses in every situation.

Subaru Exiga  


The Subaru Exiga is a new large MPV that debuted as a concept car during the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. According to the Japanese Subaru press introduction materials, the name "Exiga" is a neologism combination of the words "exciting" and "active". The vehicle boasts a supersize panoramic glass roof and theater-style seating, with rear passengers sitting a little higher than those in front. Seats in the concept vehicle were upholstered in leather and trimmed in pearl white and blue. The rear seatbacks incorporate fold-down tray tables, similar to those on airplanes.

The instrument panel in the concept vehicle offered displays from eight monitors, providing excellent visibility around the vehicle, and also housed a clear blue multi-display zone. There continues to be indirect lighting in the side doors and ceiling in the production vehicle, providing soft ambient light at night. The engine is a 1994 cc turbocharged H4 based on the Subaru Impreza WRX coupled to Subaru's 5EAT automatic transmission used in the Subaru Legacy and Subaru Tribeca.

According to an article from Autoblog , Subaru is planning to introduce a seven seat wagon in the Japanese market June 18, 2008. The Subaru Exiga isn't sold in North America, opting to sell the similarly-sized Subaru Tribeca 7-seater instead. The Australian version will be powered by a revised version of Subaru’s naturally aspirated four-cylinder 2.5-litre Boxer engine. That engine will make its debut on the new Liberty/Outback range in September.

Subaru spokesman David Rowley says diesel and turbocharged versions of the people-mover are not on the cards at this stage, although the maker will “watch with interest” the sales performance of the diesel Outback due in November. The Exiga is available with a turbocharged four-cylinder in Japan. The Exiga will be available in two trim levels, with the base model getting a standard DVD entertainment system for its second and third row seats. Subaru is not revealing any more details at this stage, although the second row of seats will be “captain’s chairs” with individual armrests and a centre console with cup holders. The third row seats can be stowed away. Rowley says the six-seat layout provides a point of difference to other people-movers, which typically have seven or eight seats.

Honda Insight Hybrid  


Performance
Hybrid Heart
The centerpiece of the all-new Honda Insight is the latest Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system. This next-generation hybrid system benefits from everything we have learned as the first automaker to bring a hybrid to the market in the U.S., the original Insight. Compared to the system in the Civic Hybrid, the battery pack was improved, resulting in cost savings and reduced weight. Its location also allows for greater cabin space. The Insight features a highly efficient, 1.3-liter, 8-valve, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine and DC-brushless electric motor, and it's equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Efficiency Booster
The unique Eco Assist ™ system enables increased efficiency for improved performance through two elements, an ECON™ button [1] that controls certain functions of the car, and a feedback system that lets you monitor your driving performance. Eco Scoring at the conclusion of the drive provides drivers with even more of an incentive to drive green.


Exterior

Everyone Appreciates a Nice Line
Family Ties
The all-new 2010 Insight shares a family resemblance with the sleek and sophisticated FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle. The front of the car is strong and lean with eye-catching projector-beam headlights. The taller rear helps this 5-door hybrid slip easily through the air, and unique LED brakelights complete the look.
Space, Man
The Insight was designed with a low center of gravity and a generous 5-passenger cabin. Five-door access helps meet the needs of an active lifestyle. The use of smaller internal components allows for more cabin and cargo space, making the Insight family-friendly and versatile. And the Insight was designed and built from the ground up to be what it is: a hybrid.


Interior

Green Screens
Half the fun of driving on less gas is listening to full sound in the all-new Insight. Standard on the LX is an AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers, including an MP3/auxiliary input jack. A built-in Radio Data System (RDS) gives you additional information about your music. EX models add a pair of tweeters and Honda's USB Audio Interface.


Choose the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition and also enjoy the factory-installed Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® communication tool.
Toss it in
The all-new Insight was designed with versatility in mind. It seats five, and has five doors to match. The 60/40 split rear fold-down seatback offers maximum flexibility for people to poles to pets—and everything in between.
411 Before You
You don't have to look far for the information you need while driving. As part of its two-tier instrument panel, the Insight features a sophisticated Multi-Information Display (MID) that provides data on fuel consumption, temperature and other essentials. The MID is used as part of the Eco Assist™ system for enhanced efficiency.

Mitsubishi Eclipse  

The 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse appears to mix styling elements. Depending on how you see it, you might gauge the styling as busy or unique. To Motor Trend, the front end looks like a "gaping maw" but is "offset by fluid curves." While most convertible versions of cars are manufactured from the hardtop version, Popular Mechanics notes that the "open-top version was engineered to be topless from inception," meaning that its proportions look right top up or top down.

The tight, cockpit-focused interior styling can also be rather polarizing, both conceptually and functionally. Motor Trend comments, "the roof, dash, and door panels seem shrink-wrapped around you." Edmunds praises the "unusual details such as door releases shaped like flip phones." The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty two door, four-seat coupe with good looks and a roomy interior. It appeals to a large audience with its youthful looks and affordable price.

The Eclipse has three trims: GS, GS-Sport, and GT. Power is delivered by a 162-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or four-speed automatic with manual shift mode. A 265-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine powers the GT and comes with a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic. Standard safety features include vehicle stability control with traction control, frontal-impact, side-impact and side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a tire pressure monitoring system. For 2010, Mitsubishi has enhanced the GS model with styling cues from the GT trim. Also, Bluetooth, rear view camera, and auxiliary input jack are available.
