This is a cool video introducing you to the edgy yet pretty slick 2013 Hyundai Veloster. Take a moment and watch, then follow up with some of the details I have for you.

I actually like the concept that Hyundai has taken with the Veloster. The car is unique whereas it has two doors on the passenger side, but only one on the drivers side. Technically, the car can be called a four-door if you include the rear hatch.

50th Anniversary of Italian style and American muscleNow here’s a brand you just don’t hear much about but should.
Iso is known by collectors but any enthusiast would benefit by learning about the company and the beautiful cars they made.
Iso started out by making scooters and motorcycles after World War II. They went on to build small trucks and the well-known Isetta mini-car, made famous by non-other than BMW, who licensed the car from Iso.
But Iso really attracted enthusiasts eyes with the introduction of their own line of cars. The Rivolta …

What a great concept for a custom ride. I found this on Gentlemint, but the short film originates on Vimeo.

If you’re an enthusiast, then yesterday’s news from the New York Auto Show borders on nirvana. If you’re a competitor to this all new serpent, then you may be staring purgatory in the face.

And it looks fantastic. Aside from a nose somewhat reminiscent of the current model Corvettes such as the Z06 and ZR1, the car has made a nice evolution and looks arguably quite Italian. And I’m quite happy to see Dodge tone down their signature cross-like grill. Now, rather than body colored, it’s blacked-out and far less obvious. Hopefully, as time goes on, the rest of the Dodge line up will see a similar styling change. But enough design analysis, let’s get right to the specs.

Fisker Automotive unveiled their all-new Atlantic today in New York.

According to Fisker, the Atlantic is designed to be a luxury, four-door sports sedan yet aimed at “young families who want to drive an impactful, high-end vehicle while making a positive statement about responsibilities – both in terms of their commitment to sustainability and the practicalities of everyday life.”

Right on the heels of General Motors posting decent sales numbers, they’ve announced Chevy Volt production will be halted for three weeks in July.

Buyers haven’t exactly been flocking to dealer lots to buy the car. Even with incentives and a much ballyhooed marketing campaign, this extended range electric just isn’t catching on.

Many car companies posted strong March sales today, with Chrysler, the VW Group and General Motors leading the way.

Ford reported a 5 percent increase in sales while Nissan North America saw a jump in sales by 12.5 percent.

Taking a new model reveal to a whole new level, MINI has commandeered a corner store on Hollywood Blvd. to expose the MINI faithful to the new Roadster.

Who needs Facebook when a store front in a popular and heavily trafficked neighborhood will do the same thing? Except in MINI’s case, their ‘Peepshow’ will ring truer with potential buyers, creating a viral, word-of-mouth buzz that online social media can’t achieve. Yes, I know, social media can be very viral if done well, but in this case, MINI has created a physical location that will create local buzz first, potentially spreading from there via word of mouth. Ingenious marketing campaigns are just that…unique, eye-catching and memorable. MINI has potentially struck gold here with a campaign that viewers will remember and tell their friends about.

BMW has introduced the newest ‘i’ model with the unveiling of the i8 Concept Spyder.

The Spyder looks pretty good although not all that dissimilar from recently introduced models from Audi and Lamborghini. With all of the talk about efficient cars of the future, no one is really breaking new ground visually. Where’s George Jetson’s flying car when you need it?

You can stream your audio through a Bluetooth compatible phone, or you can even make and receive phone calls on the fly. If you do a lot of driving, Bluetooth may be worth the extra few bucks. Simply sync up your cell phone and you will never have to lift a finger from the wheel again.
