Welcome to this years 42nd annual Tokyo motor show! Where all the wacky crazy Japanese concepts are released. The show is open to the public December 3rd-11th. A bunch of wacky crazy concepts, them some normal tuners like the new Subaru BRZ. See below to check out some of the new cars!


Subaru Advanced Tourer concept

See the whole review here!

The Subaru advanced tourer is Subaru's take on a slow mad wagon. With a 1.6-Liter turbocharged flat four, lithium-ion battery's and progressiveness styling this is a very cool wagon. Except the engine, not cool.

Subaru BRZ
This is the new Subaru BRZ. It's the love child of Subaru and Toyota, First one sounds good, but not the second one.. Overall good car though. Sadly though it only has a 2.0-Liter Flat four with 200HP and a manual/Automatic six-speed transmission. Sales start next spring.

Mazda Takeri concept
Fin! The smiley face look is gone! The new takeri concept isn't ugly! It runs on a SKYACTIV-D 2.0-Liter Diesel linked to a new 6-speed auto transmission. It's also an electric car. OH wait did i mention there's no smiley face? I think i did.

The 2011 LA Auto Show will be open to the public from November 18 to 27, including Thanksgiving weekend.

World Premieres 

Buick LaCrosse GL

The Buick LaCrosse GL Is a luxed out version of the LaCrosse to debut at the LA auto show. The biggest exterior changes are the 20inch rims and the satin-finish. On the inside french stiched leather surfaces in contrasting dark cocoa brown caramel chocochino Intrusment panel, seats and doors.

Cadillac XTS

The new Cadillac XTS is based of the Cadillac XTS platinum concept. The XTS will be Caddy's largest vehicle when it replaces the STS and the DTS in 2013. With a 3.6L 300hp V6 it's not exactly a clunker. The interior design of the XTS is a step forward for Cadillac. The new Cadillac CUE is also cool. Cadillac says the FWD model has 17mpg city and 28mpg highway, the AWD has a similar 17mpg city and 27mpg highway.


Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

This thing is mad. The 3rd installment in the series features a 5.5L V8 bi turbo engine that is rated at 518 horsepower. If that's to little power there's always the available AMG performance package, which pumps out 550hp!0 to 60 takes 4.7 seconds! The combined fuel economy of the normal ML 63 AMG and the performance one is 16mpg.


Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible

The 580 Horsepower Camaro ZL1 just got topless! With a 6.2L 580hp V8 this cabrio is no beetle. Compared to comparable cars such as the Aston Martin DB9 and the Porsche 911 turbo the Camaro would win, Whoa. The Camaro ZL1 convertible is based off the Coupe model. Expect to see it in showrooms in 2012.

  
Ford Fiesta SD 5-door concept

Everyone has heard pf hot hatch backs, but have you ever heard of MAD HATCH BACKS?!
This Fiesta concept is mad. With a 1.6L Turbocharged 4 cylinder 180hp, a lowered suspension, winded wheel arches for 17 inch alloy wheels, it's mad. It also looks better then the normal Fiesta. Ford hasn't said if the Fiesta SD is going to be sold yet, let's hope it will be.


 
2013 Ford Escape/ Ford Kuga

I have never been big about the Ford Escape, but this is much better.  In the US market the Escape will be available with both FWD and AWD. The base engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder with 168Hp, there's also an available 1.6L EcoBoost engine with 237Hp. Other neat features are: Hands free power lift gate, Active Park Assist, Blind spot info center. The only thing it's missing is a V6 engine for people who prefer bigger engines.

Ford Flex F/L

Honda CR-V

I have never been a big fan of the Honda CR-V. This new one might be a bit better, If it ever gets to production after so many delays. On this new one a more powerful version of the 2.4L cylinder engine will be in the vehicle. Honda says the new CR-V will be more sophisticated and dynamic. The front looks a bit like the Lexus GX and the back looks the the Volvo XC90. Just have to wait and see how the public takes it.



Lincoln MKS


This is the "improved" Lincoln MKS. Personally i think, I don't know how but they made it uglier up-front. Under the hood it packs a nice 3.7L V6 with 300hp. They also claim the FWD version gets 19mpg in the city and 28 highway. There's also a 3.5L ECOBOOST V6 with 355HP. Those might sound a bit impressive for car like this, but remember it's FWD. On the looks category everything has been changed to the A-pillar to the hood etc. Lincoln will have to try harder then this to get moving in the luxury department again.



Chevrolet Spark

This is Chevy's new city car, the smallest Chevy ever sold in america also. With a 1.2L 4-cylinder engine with 85HP it's not a Camaro ZL1. If anything it could use more power. With FWD you can have either a five-speed manual, or a 4-speed automatic. Unlike similar vehicles such as the Scion IQ, Fiat 500 and the Smart For Two, the Spark has 5 doors instead of 3. Gm has hidden the Read Door handles in the A-pillar to make it look smaller.

Volkswagen CC

This is the new VW CC. With a 2.0L 200hp and a 3.6L 280HP engine options it isn't a Super car, but it isn't a Smart car. This new model features a Re-designed chrome-trimmed grill, re-shaped headlights with a ring of LED's and a re-worked bumper. The re-freshed CC will first launch in Germany in Febuary 2012 and then over time Europe, America, Russia, and China.

Volvo C70 inscription Edition

wave goodbye to old slow giant Volvo's and hello to new sporty, more powerful Volvo's!  This new C70 packs a sporty new look and feel! Of course this is just a normal Volvo C70 special edition but still.The new C70 Inscription Edition combines bespoke exterior details such as the painted grille, black 18-inch wheels and LED daytime running lights surrounded by contrasting chrome, with unique interior features, including Sovereign Hide upholstery, a leather-covered dashboard and aluminium trim. 


Subaru BRZ STI concept

Here is the long awaited Subaru BRZ STI. It's the more hard core version of it's sister the Toyota FT-86. With a 2.0L 4-cylinder and with less weight then the Toyota it's also faster, but not much. The BRZ is the outcome of Subaru and Toyota, which means it'll have all the Subaru goodies with all the well uh.. good stuff about Toyota.....
A 6 speed manual will put the power out to the rear wheels, it is un-known if it will get a automatic version like the Toyota yet.


Lamborghini Gallardo spyder LP 550-2

The LP 550-2 brings RWD and a drop top to the Gallardo, Exactly what it needed. Now days having Lamborghini owned by VW everything has to be FWD, but back in the day sports cars and RWD where as normal in the sports car segment as normal got. "This will appeal in particular to a very special group of customers that enjoy a spirited driving style and also like to experience the sheer pleasure of open-air driving" says Stephan Winkelmann President and CEO of Lamborghini. The new Gallardo comes with a 5.2L V12 engine that makes 550HP.




Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

200mph mustang anyone? i can hear the Camaro ZL1's designers right now!"Darn it". This new Shelby has a 5.8L super charged V8 with 650HP and 600lb-ft. Yep you can keep up with koenigseggs. In a mustang. . .
Then there's the performance package! It includes: Torsen Limited-slip diff. Then there's the track package! This includes: 3 seperate coolers for for the engine oil, the rear diff, and transmission! I can't believe this monster of a muscle car!
Jaguar XKR-S convertible

Here it is, the Jaguar XKR-S. Packing a supercharged 5.0L V8 with 550HP and 501lb-ft and a new body kit! This just takes this car to a new layer of...cool. With a top speed of 186MPH(electronically limited) and a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds. Like the coupe model the cabrio comes with re-designed nose, front bumper, twin side inlets, vented hood, new sills, rear wing, carbon insert outside and inside.

Porshce Panamera GTS.
