Spy Shots: If this is it, the Mazda1 looks nothing like Kiyora concept

UPDATE: This is not a prototype for the Mazda1, it is a Chinese-market Haima subcompact based on the Mazda2. Thanks to everyone who sent in the correction When we were told that the Mazda Kiyora concept unveiled at last year's Paris Motor Show would influence Mazda's coming city car, it looks like we overestimated the word "influence." At least, that's the case if the little Mazda caught in Evo's spy shots is actually the Mazda1. Evo makes a compelling case for the car actually being the Mazda1 – not merely a revised Mazda2. Save for the ... Read more →

Top Gear Magazine (sorta) reveals Aston Martin One-77 Jonathon Ramsey

Paris 2008: Renault Megane III 1 year ago on Autoblog

Renault is stepping things up a notch. The French automaker has launched an aggressive campaign to refresh and broaden its lineup, including recent launches of the new Laguna, Twingo and Koleos, to name just a few. But this one will likely prove more important than all the others. The Megane is ...

Paris 2008: Ford Kuga Individual 1 year ago on Autoblog

When we put the production Ford Kuga next to its progenitor, the Iosis X show car, on our test drive in Belgium, we couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The Kuga is a fine looking cute-ute, but lacks the aggressive styling that made the Iosis X such a show stopper. Ford promised to close ...

Paris 2008: Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse 1 year ago on Autoblog

With the revival of the Abarth tuning division, Fiat is serious about motorsports. They've been racking up victories in the Intercontinental Rally Championship with the Punto, and have even been sponsoring Valentino Rossi's MotoGP Yamaha. And to drive the point home, while the "esseesse" (read: ...

Paris 2008: Citroen 2CV by Hermes 1 year ago on Autoblog

There are a lot of big birthdays in the car industry this year, and the Citroen 2CV joins GM and Land Rover in the candle-blowing crowd.

Paris 2008: Fiat 500 DIESEL - it's not what you think 1 year ago on Autoblog

Perhaps it isn't the most interesting live reveal that took place in Paris, but we managed to get a few shots of the new Fiat 500 by DIESEL anyway. Yes, there is an optional 75-horsepower 1.3 Multijet diesel engine, complete with a particulate filter to keep things squeaky clean, but that's not ...

Paris 2008: Previous Gen Audi A4 Seat Exeo 1 year ago on Autoblog

Our Spanish colleagues tell us that the Iberians are none too happy about SEAT grabbing a previous generation A4 out of the garbage bin to make a new sedan. Never mind the opportunity to make an easy(-ier) profit – something that would have any automaker quaking with giddyness right now ...

Paris 2008: Toyota's new Avensis arrives 1 year ago on Autoblog

The Euro-only Toyota Avensis is reminiscent of the Lexus IS350 in the same way that you'd tell someone, "You kind of look like someone I know, but not really." It's the rising linear sideline, somewhat high and compact profile, and squared-off rear that do it. But that's from a full-on side ...

VIDEO: Lexus IS250C folding its hard top 1 year ago on Autoblog

It's always fun to see the engineering behind hard top convertibles. The latest member of the breed comes from Lexus in the form of the 2009 IS250C. This new derivative of the IS250 sedan sports a three-piece aluminum roof that retracts in a "world's fastest" 20 seconds. Video proof of the ...

Paris 2008: Peugeot Prologue HYmotion4 diesel hybrid concept 1 year ago on Autoblog

Peugeot has been showing diesel hybrid concepts at auto shows for the past several years, and the latest is the new Prologue HYmotion4. Unlike the previous versions that were based on the 307 and 308 C-segment hatchbacks, the Prologue is an all-new vehicle. Also unlike the previous concepts ...

Paris 2008: Chevrolet Cruze meets an eager Europe 1 year ago on Autoblog

The Chevrolet Cruze is three kinds of car: small, American and important. And with the state of General Motors, it isn't even the individual words that mean the most: it's whether The General can combine them into a reliable, fuel efficient and cost effective package. True, we don't get to ...

Paris 2008: Live shots of the Ford Focus RS 1 year ago on Autoblog

Ford's new Focus RS has made its second European debut and we've managed to snag some live shots of the new car on the stand. Covered in Ultra Green paint as it is, we could hardly miss it. The new hue is meant to be "a modern interpretation of the 1970's Ford Le Mans Green." In that case, ...

Paris 2008: Peugeot RC HYmotion4 Concept gets 52.3 mpg 1 year ago on Autoblog

The RC HYmotion4 concept is one of several hybrid concepts using a new through-the-road hybrid system being shown in Paris by Peugeot and Citroen. Unlike the hybrid systems used by current production vehicles, this one has no direct mechanical connection between the electric and internal ...

Paris 2008: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 S Roadster 1 year ago on Autoblog

Certain cars encourage a response that is as routine and predictable as the reaction to a stoplight, and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 S Roadster is one of those cars. This is what happens every time someone gets in one, irrespective of their age, sex, or nationality: she snuggles into the ...

Paris 2008: In love with Kia's funky Soul 1 year ago on Autoblog

The Scion xB may have written the book on small-and-boxy, but it appears that Kia may add another volume to the work with the Soul. We have no idea how the new Soul will go on the road, or how it will hold up – either materially or financially – but taking a seat in the giant shoe on ...

Paris 2008: Fiat 500 Abarth esseesse 1 year ago on Autoblog

Abarth, the high-performance wing of Fiat, got to finally unveil its hotted up version of the 500 hatch at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The 500 Abarth esseesse (that's "SS" in Italian) takes Fiat's throwback three-door and adds a road-hugging ground effects kit with a new lower front fascia, ...

Paris 2008: Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION 1 year ago on Autoblog

When Jaguar launched its latest XK coupe, the ad campaign that accompanied it was called "Gorgeous". When the Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION eventually becomes the next E-Class, the first thing Mercedes should do is call Jag to see if Gorgeous needs a friend. The shooting brake is absolutely ...

Paris 2008: Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback 1 year ago on Autoblog

Rounding out the Mitsubishi Lancer line this year is the new Lancer Sportback, also in extra spicy Ralliart flavor. It's everything you love about the Lancer plus the space, versatility and convenience of a wagon – the first time since the '80s you'll be able to have your cake and haul it, ...

Paris 2008: Ford unveils three custom versions of Ka 1 year ago on Autoblog

Ford's Ka has always had an expressive design, and the second generation of the little city car is set to continue that trend with three new custom packages that will debut with the new model in January. All three of them make quite a statement, though we'll leave it to you to decide if that's ...

Paris 2008: Pininfarina goes from Ferrari to batteries with B0 Concept 1 year ago on Autoblog

Paris 2008: Chevy Orlando Concept outdoes the HHR 1 year ago on Autoblog

Paris 2008: Jaguar XKR-S fastest since XJ220 1 year ago on Autoblog

Jaguar quietly trotted out its hottest XK to date, the XKR-S. Packing a 420-hp 4.2-liter V8 and sending power to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox equipped with Jaguar's Sequential Shift system, the XKR-S can run to 60 in 5.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 174 mph, making ...

Paris 2008: 2009 Audi S4 armed and ready 1 year ago on Autoblog

We were never particularly fond of the last generation Audi S4. With 4.2-liters of V8 hanging precariously over the front axle, it provided adequate thrust, but never delivered the dynamic thrills we used to associate with the twin-turbo'd V6 fitted to the B5 platform. Apparently Audi agrees, ...

Paris 2008: Ferrari California in the flesh 1 year ago on Autoblog

It's not every day that Ferrari unveils a new sportscar. And when it does, it's almost invariably billed as a successor to the one that came before, or a version of something already on the market. But the Ferrari California is an entirely different beast, expanding the Prancing Horse's line-up ...

Paris 2008: 2009 Mazda MX-5 1 year ago on Autoblog

We finally had the opportunity to check out the 2009 Mazda MX-5 in person, and despite the tweaks being minor, we like what we see. This is one of those instances where the press pics don't do it justice. It's difficult to see the RX-8-inspired revisions to the front end, but on closer ...

Paris 2008: Le Day 1 Wrapup 1 year ago on Autoblog

It's about 6:00PM in the City of Lights and our rag tag team of bloggers is running on empty after having brought you the first day of debuts at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. Soon they'll be attending after parties and getting drunk on champagne, so we're here to run down the biggest unveilings of the ...

Paris 2008: MINI Crossover Concept 1 year ago on Autoblog

Some concepts are purely design exercises, while others serve as previews of upcoming production models. It's rare for one show car to serve as both, but then MINI is unique in the business. The Crossover concept that the BMW subsidiary unveiled here at the Paris Motor Show has a bit of a Dark ...

Paris 2008: Audi unveils 59-mpg A4 TDI concept e 1 year ago on Autoblog

Audi's parent company Volkswagen already produces some of the cleanest-burning, most fuel-miserly diesel engines in the world. The Jetta TDI was recently released in the U.S. and has been making waves for its hybrid-like efficiency. So it's natural that Audi would want to show off its green ...

Paris 2008: Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart and Colt five-door 1 year ago on Autoblog

Even for utilitarian transport, the Colt is a fine looking vehicle – Mitsu's new grille is a one-size-fits-all beautifier, and there are some nice details around the car. The dip in the headlights isn't original, but it's executed with a flavor of its own. Inside it's plastic city and ...

Paris 2008: BMW X1 concept 1 year ago on Autoblog

We're trying to find some redeeming qualities in the BMW X1 concept, but after staring at it on the show stand and navigating our way through BMW's lengthy press release (after the jump), we're at a loss. Built atop the 3-series platform and likely motivated by a handful of gasoline and diesel ...

Paris 2008: Aston Martin One-77 (partially) revealed 1 year ago on Autoblog

Aston Martin said it would have a "property" here in Paris, and indeed it did. The Aston Martin One-77 made its "debut," but it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer to see the British automaker's $1,000,000+ super coupe. Judging by the limited upskirt shots in our gallery, the length of ...
