The new Fiat Fiorino

After just a few months sice the last Fiat- PSA Peugeot Citroen Group collaboration,the commercial vehicles division, Fiat Professional,launched a new car,the Fiorino.

It is meant for the “small-business” market wich requires compact and nimble van.The Fiorino messures 3,86 metres in lenght ,the cargo compartment lenght is 1,5 metres and the loading capacity is 2,5 cubic metres.

Built in Turkey,at Bursa,the car will be sold in over 80 countries,beeing followed by the passenger version later next year.

Not even an SUV,just Mazda

This car won’t even have 4wd so I guess it’s just an oversized MX-5.The technical platform is that of an MX-5 so I don’t see what Mazda wants to do with this so called SUV.I guess we’ll see next year at the Paris Auto Show.Initial reports say that the Japanese want to make a sporty car for those who want to stay higher on the road.But there’s another problem:why did they copy a Porshe Cayene and tryed to turn it into a Nissan Murano?

Koenigsegg CCXR-a biofuel devil

The green-mania hit the car world so hard that nothing seems to escape it.The one thing I thought will never be touched by this is the supercars.But since nothing is sacred in this world Koenigsegg made the CCXR Special Edition biofuel car that breaks the 100 HP barrier.It’s admirable that this car can beat the Veyron and still love the planet.

Featuring a cast-aluminium V8 engine with sequential multipoint fuel injection and twin rotrex centrifigual superchargers and burning E85 biofuel, the CCXR has 1.018 HP at 7,200 rpm and 1,060 Nm at 6,100 rpm.

I thought the „green” Koenigsegg will have short legs but I was wrong:0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, with top speed expected to exceed 400 km/h.Pulling a hair-rising 10.7 mpg the CCRX forces you to have a close relationship to all gas stations.The price is also supercar-like: 1.5 million euros.

Ford Kuga will be available only in Europe

Based on the Iosis X Concept,the Ford Kuga will stard production early next year at Ford’s Saarlouis plant in Germany with sales beginning throughout Europe sometime during the first half of 2008. Few modifications have been made to the Ionis,except maybe the aluminum roof rails.And one more thing for all of you who live in the US:you’ll never see this car on the streets,unless you cross the ocean.
