Infiniti Q30 concept

Infiniti has new way to name their cars. Q or QX.

For example, G sedan or coupe will become Q50.

Recently, Infiniti releases first image of Q30 concept, which might replace current EX model.

Here is the image. Look so cool!

Q30 Concept




This car will be in coming Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Hope Infiniti will reveal its engine soon.


Scion FR-S 2014 comes with new features

Scion FR-S (or toyota 86 in other countries) will have new features in 2014 model!

1. standard 6.1 inch touch screen display.
2. new knee cushions located on the door panels and the sides of the center console.

Another option is premium audio system with "navigation".

However, the MSRP for MT is increasing to $25,455 USD.
(This is very interesting, since Japanese yen is depreciation and Scion uses Pure Price, which means discount is impossible. So I assume this model is too popular that automaker can get extra profit.)

Another news suggests the FR-S will get upgraded engine for model year of 2015.
I am sure a lot of people will look forward to it.

Nissan Skyline in "Fast and Furious"

This R34 is one of my favorite cars.
But it is hard to get one.

Also, the drive seat is located on the right. 
Maybe need to practice on a post office car first before driving..

Toyota Blade (Japanese version of Toyota Matrix)

You might know Toyota Matrix. (This car was designed based on Corolla)

In Japan, this car has totally different design.
It was called Blade.




The model car was a gift from a Japanese friend.
If you buy a car in Japanese Toyota dealer,
the dealer will give you a model car which is exactly the same as your car. Is it cool?
So this model car is usually not for sale.


Do you notice one thing?
The logo on the front grille is different than traditional logo.











Lego "Back to the future"

Lego is going to officially release Back To The Future series.

This Lego set will allow you to make all three versions.



When is the release date?
It will be released on Aug. 1st 2013.
That's right the day after tomorrow!
