New Mini Cooper Coupe

The new member of the Mini family makes its debut in the auto world right before of the 2k11 Frankfurt autoshow, the:Mini Cooper Coupe.These are the first official images and data regarding this new model.The new Mini coupe was already prefigured by the concept with the same name presented at the Frankfurt autoshow in 2009.Practically the new Mini Cooper Coupe is mainly created for the Mini fans that want a less practical Mini but that is much more enjoyable to drive.In terms of exterior aspect the differences between this production model and concept from 2009 are minimal.The front end remains the one known by everyone,that's specific to Mini.The roof has a different color compared with the rest of the body and the back end preserves some of the clasic Mini looks but look a lot more aggressive and sporty.The car is also noticeably more compact.The interior is obviously designed for selfish people......, because only two persons car enjoy the car at a time.The dashboard and the accessories are the same you find in a normal Mini but the standard equipment is much richer in the Coupe(for example aluminum throttle pedal,sport seats).Also the new Mini Connected Drive system ain't missing.Very interesting are the two grooves in the roof for the heads of the two passengers heads to fit in which created a unique feeling while you're driving according to the officials from Mini.
Mechanically speaking the new Mini Coupe will offer you three options to choose from all benefiting from a 1,6 L engine in different setups of power.

Chevrolet Cobalt Concept

Now at the Buenos Aires autoshow,Chevrolet presented officially the concept of a new family sedan.Cobalt concept will become a low cost family compact sedan which apparently will be sold in US and also in South America and Europe.It may seem weird that Chevy Cobalt will be sold in Europe since here in Europe Chevy Also sells the Aveo Sedan.If we compare the two models will observe that there are a few huge differences between the two models.First of all Cobalt isn't targeting young people like the Aveo,Cobalt being a much more mature car.Second of all the interior is much more refined and the car is not as sporty as the Aveo so there are a few differences.
The Cobalt's headlights are quite large and has a prominent grill.Chevy promises that the production model will have a great quality interior and will offer a big list of options to choose from.It will also be equipped with a 7 inch navigation system.The buyers will have to choose from two 4 cylinder engines one a 1,3L and one a 1,8L,gas and diesel version equipped with the FuelFlex system.The sales of this model will begin sometime in 2k12.I invite you all to share me on Facebook and Twitter and connect with me just searching Michael Scoffield.

Chevrolet Colorado Rally Concept

The new generation of american pick-up trucks made by Chevy named Colorado is prefigured by a new concept named Colorado Rally which is actually a preview of the double cab version of the production model shown at the Buenos Aires autoshow this week.In the making of this concept the engineers started a study to find out what would be the most useful accessories to be fitted on this model.I really like the 18 inch hightech wheels equipped with BF Goodrich tires , of 305/60 R 18.
Ground clearance can vary with 2 inches thanks to the remotely controlled spring shocks.Another cool accessory of the car is a winch capable of pulling more than 4 tons having a 70 feet long cable and has also a special build frontal shield.

This concept is equipped with a 2,8 L engine for which there is no official information.The interior in conceived in a racing style having racing seats and the steering wheel is augmented with all kind of racing led lights.For the moment it is unknown the official launching date for Chevy Colorado but this concept shows how close they are to a production model so we can't wait to see it !
