Geneva Motor Show

Peugeot SR1

i think it’s time to give you some quick opinions on a few vehicles shown at this year’s motor show

Lets start with the car above, the Peugeot SR1, or the prettiest Peugeot I’ve seen on a while, it looks excellent, it makes you wonder how did the 3008 slipped through the net.Peugeot said that this car has the general design for all future Peugeots, So be it.

Suzuki Swift Plug-In Hybrid

On the other end of the scale we have this, the swift is a fine car sure, but prototypes like this are just to show what’s fashionable now, being ¨Green¨is where money’s at. If you want to show you give a damn about the environment just start pushing Hydrogen until it goes through.

Touring Superleggera Continental Flying Star

Touring something-or-other lucky star

This is more like it. It takes a special sort of man to look at a Bentley continental and say ¨You know? It would look better as a shooting brake.¨Thankfully this man exists and gave us this masterpiece.The world always has space for a 6-liter, W12, 560HP Shooting Brake more.

Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta Concept

This needs to be done immediately it must have a V6 and Alfa should get rid of that name and rename it the Gulietta Sprint. Next!

Toyota FT-86

Toyota FT-86

Lastly, I want to talk about this. The last time i talked about it i really didn’t gave the FT-86 the time it deserved (probably because I was rambling about hybrids) and how Toyota has pretty much shot itself.

However, this car is what the quintessential sports car is all about. Toyota has made boring econocars for a good time now and for them to release this Small, Front Engine-Rear Wheel Drive car. Inspired the Drifting lovers and Manga an Anime favorite Toyota Corolla Levin AE86 (Before anyone of you start, if it had been inspired by the Trueno Hachi-Roku it would’ve had Pop-Up headlamps.More on those later.) Assuming Toyota assumes responsibility for the ¨Unintended Acceleration¨ incident, and if the people recognize just what a properly good car it is. We may be on the way to a ¨fun¨ Toyota again.
