The wheels on the Volt make it looks like a 1993 Cavalier.

J"aime vraiment pas le concept de la Impreza!! On dirait que ca s'éloigne du petit char sport!!

Louis!

j'étais un des premier a triper sur les LED dans les headlight ou dans les front bumper mais la...y aune surutilisation des led c'est rendu aussi plate que les fucking tail light de type Lexus dans le debut des années 2000...
La Mercedes CLS63 AMG ressemble à mon sapin de noël (le look du char est quand même nice la)

reminds me of a new aztek.... god damn it the rear end is hideous

yen a des beau ...yen a des moin beau metton

J aime bien le concept de l atltima! Je crois que dans les dernieres années cotés design et modele Nissan donne une bonne dégelé aux autres constructeurs japonais...

L impreza plus ca va plus je suis decu... le nouveau concept me donne l impression que lexus a fait le design. Elle me rappelle meme un peux la scion tc. Qui est a mon avis a des années lumieres du design plus sport et agressif que les anciennes impreza avaient.

thats cause americans get fatter every year. The car trends have to follow their weight. Try to fit a current american into an older impreza or first gen civic. Wont get into there.

I kind of like the Impreza and the murano looks a lot better than I thought

as a daily drive car, the Honda Fit EV looks interesting

just like the jusk, you try to like it on picture but it's an epic fail when you see it for real.

The Impreza follow the line of the 2010-2011 Legacy it doesn't look that much like the scion....

Most of those are concept and will not hit the street exactly like this.... Remember the first pictures of the volt, not really like the picture we have here

You have the bad: CLS 63, the good: Impreza and the extremely ugly: Chevy Volt. God it's hideous!

Yesterday the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show kicked off with the first of two press-only days. Same as last year, I headed downtown to take a look at the latest batch of new models and concept cars.

While the mainstream media is busy touting of all the green and electric vehicles at the show, I found there was also plenty for the old fashioned gearheads to enjoy as well.



Once I got into the Convention Center, one of my first stops was at the Jaguar booth, where the whole lineup was on display in matching dark green body color.



The real draw at the Jag booth though, was the C-X75 concept, which originally debuted in Paris.



The concept is powered by a 780hp combination of gas turbines and electric motors, making for an ultra-green supercar. It may be an exercise in future car possibilities, but you can see a lot of the classic Jaguar XJ220 in the design.



Nissan was showing the new refreshed 2012 GT-R in their booth. No massive changes to the design, but some substantial improvements - such as a 40hp increase over the current model



Nissan was also showing the all new Quest Minivan. Lots of JDM influence here, as it shares its main platform with the Nissan Elgrand.



SMS Supercars showing their breathed-on version of the Challenger in the Concourse Hall. In my eye, this is the perfect wheel and stance combo for the Challenger.



I wasn't a big fan of the gaping Mazda grin when I first saw it, but I'm starting to come around a bit. Maybe not a huge fan, but I can tolerate it.



Mazda also debuted the Shinari concept in LA, and like most concepts it should hint at future design language for production vehicles.



Bonneville Kizashi in the Suzuki booth. Cool!



Another new car, the 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon.



Scion had one of the hippest displays as usual, featuring stock models and tuned versions we saw at SEMA.



The US-spec version of the iQ was also on hand here.



Long wheelbase Audi A8L - it doesn't get much more executive than this.



Dodge has heavily reworked the Charger sedan for 2011, with styling much more in line with the classic '68-'70 models.



The new rear end design is a nice homage to the '69. Mopar fans should approve of the redesign.

The Charger is never gonna be nice until its becomes a 2 door.

Wow.. how do you not like that CLS? Oh well, to each his own

the charger became somewhat JDM style. I like it much better now !

Caliss la volt est loin d'être ce quelle devais être au début et j'avoue que le derrière a LAir d'un aztek

La mazda shinari me fais penser a une RX-maserati...

The CLS looks terrible. It looks like it's on stilts.
