I have to say, I love concept cars — in general. What I mean is that, whether I think the design is amazing or absurd, I love the idea of concepts, I love being able to critique them, to see where any individual automaker is at in hopes of what it wants to try to get consumers to drive.
And I love to see the things automakers come up with, like the Istituto Europeo di Design, out of Turin, which is responsible for this, the IED Eye concept.
This is sleek, modern, the product of students who are part of one of the best transportation design programs in Italy (they created it) and Jorge Andres Pinilla Fonseca (who initially came up with the idea).

While we know that the brand new Volkswagen CrossPolo debuted last year, there is still a lot of buzz about it and personally, I can tell you for sure that I am looking forward to this car. Not only does it have a ton of room on the inside, but the Volkswagen CrossPolo is actually a hatchback of the future, for it is completely stylish and looks totally fashion-forward.
If you have been waiting for a ‘soccer mom’ car that does not have that same style or feeling, the Volkswagen CrossPolo is definitely it. You also have the added benefit of buying a car from the Volkswagen family, which is something that I love.
You want a little car with a lot of power and a heck of a lot of room? The Volkswagen CrossPolo is it!

Ford – oh Ford, you are coming up with some of the most interesting things in the world and in Chicago right now you are revealing some of the best products you have had as of late. Have you people seen the brand new 2011 Ford Edge? This is one car that I think that everyone should check out at least once.
The reason for that is because this particular Ford is actually for the eco-friendly person. Not only does it have a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four but it’s also turbocharged and is smaller than most Fords that you have seen come out. Ford is switching up their thinking right now and the Edge is keeping with that new focus.
If you want to test the all new Ford – you have to check out the brand new 2011 Ford Edge!

It is that time again and now that Christmas is over it is time to get sick of the snow and truly hate driving in it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though and that is my driving tips and tricks to keep you safe in your car during the long, cold winter months.
One of the first things that you need to do is make sure that you are going slow enough – that way you will be able to stop better and ensure that you do not crash into the car in front of you. If you are new to driving in the snow, one thing you want to keep in mind is make sure that you pump your brakes.
Pumping your brakes will not only allow you to avoid skidding but it will also ensure that you stop … really stop instead of sliding all over.

This year, Hyundai won several different awards for it’s marketing efforts and I can tell you that Hyundai is certainly centering their efforts on the customer more than anything – hence the reason for the Hyundai Assurance Program. If you are not familiar with this particular program, that is what we are going to talk about below.
The Hyundai Assurance Program is a program that allows Hyundai to take back the car if the customer lost their job. With all of the lay-offs that have been happening nowadays, I can tell you that this program really helped and now Hyundai is extending it through 2010.
Personally, I think that Hyundai is the best company to purchase your car from – not only is the product incredible, but the assurance program really makes sure that you can return the car if your lose your income.

Just recently, Toyota unveiled their brand spanking new Sienna MVP. It received its debut at Los Angeles’ 2009 auto show.
This Sienna marks the third generation for the brand. It seems to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors in a number of ways, such as with the fact that it is pretty convention, especially for a full sized MVP. This is especially true when you take into consideration the Toyota Sienna’s aspirations for marketing.
However, there are many innovative features as well — features that are, in fact, innovative but functional, which is really rather refreshing. Most of that innovation takes place in the interior, but there are surprises on the exterior as well.

A couple of months ago – this was a car that was revealed at the Frankfurt show. While most people agree that the Citroen Revolte Concept is not exactly the best looking thing around the expo, I have to disagree. I actually think that this car is pretty interesting and recently, this particular concept car actually just got approved for production.
It will carry the DS2 badge for right now and while most people hate this car … it is certainly different looking in my mind. The color however is something that could be left off, but I am sure – hopefully – that another color will be introduced. As of right now, the estimation is going to be 2011 but you could be seeing this car on the streets sooner.
The states though? We will never see the Citroen Revolte Concept on the streets, for it is just a European car.
