After every reply i will be posting up some of the shows best and werid cars with pictures, and info on them thanx to Top Gear for giving me this info.

The first one is info on is:

Daewoo Lacetti
(The secound bit of the car sounds a bit of GTA VC style)

Info on Car:

Lotus Esprit! Alfa Romeo Brera! Daewoo Lacetti! Yep, Daewoo is back, and boasting its own Guigaro-designed masterpiece to stand alongside the greats of the past. Well perhaps. The Lacetti's squat profile may preclude such comparisons, but GM Daewoo won't care as long as its new compact five-door hatchback can steal a few sales from better-known rivals.

Launching into one of the toughest sectors in the marketplace, Daewoo will face the latest efforts of Vauxhall and VW when the wraps come off its Astra / Golf-challenger at Frankfurt. The Lacetti should have value-for-money on its side though, plus a versatile range of engines.

Under the bonnet there's a choice of 1.4, 1.6 or 1.8-litre engines, offering average performance for the class. Acceleration from 0-60mph takes between 11.6 and 9.5 seconds, depending on engine choice, and top whack varies between 106mph and 120mph. A four-speed automatic alternative to the standard five-speed manual gearbox is available with the two larger engines.

Although built in South Korea, the Lacetti's steering and suspension tuning were developed through testing at the MIRA test site near Nuneaton in the UK. Roadholding and handling should therefore be well-adjusted to European roads and tastes. Lacetti passengers are also well protected by front and side airbags, whilst all five occupants are harnessed by three-point seat-belts.

Here`s the next one enjoy

Car:
Ford Visos
(one of the weridest names i have ever heard)

Car Info:

Ford won't admit it yet, but the Visos concept, set for unveiling on September 9 at the Frankfurt show, represents their latest attempt to replicate the success of the Capri. A broad four-seater two-door coupe, the Visos is the first Ford to experiment with styling beyond the 'new edge' look that has characterised Fords since the Focus. As Ford of Europe's vice president of product development, Derrick Kuzak, put it, "we want to generate reactions from car buyers to help us shape the next-generation Fords of the future".

Ford hopes the Visos will strike an appropriate balance between performance and luxury, though their recent efforts in the mid-size coupe sector have failed miserably on that score. The Probe and the Cougar were both sales flops, falling far short of the Capri's ideal as "the car you always promised yourself".

Next up is Mazda Kusabi, after a reply from someone.:D But i warn you its a diesel .:banghead: two-door sports car i was not happy .:banghead: when, i readed this but this is just a bit to give something back in return what the next car which is up.
 
I think the boot it still alive most cars still have a good size one also some sports cars like, Aston Martin and TVR do have some good size boots.:D
 
Car:
Mazda Kusabi

Car Info:

The Mazda Kusabi (Japanese for 'wedge'), is a diesel two-door sports car which Mazda sees as a sporting alternative for the urban motorist. The chiselled glass area and wedge-shaped profile have more than a hint of Triumph TR-7 about them, although presumably Mazda anticipates the Kusabi will age rather better.

The notion of a small capacity (1.6-litre) diesel sports car is certainly a modern one, whilst features like the Kusabi's 'revolutionary tailgate mechanism', which allows access to the boot from inside the car, are presumably being groomed for production. The Kusabi is Mazda's latest attempt to extend its influence in the B-car segment.

Next car info and pictures is the VW Golf MK5, heres a bit of a treat for the people who have replyed and readed my thread:

maximum boot volume of 347 litres.

The Mk. 5 uses a new multi-link rear suspension layout and suspension settings

There's the usual bewildering array of engines on offer, with a normal petrol range lining up alongside a new range of FSi petrols. The FSi units come in 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0-litre petrol forms, whilst diesels include a 105bhp 1.9-litre lump and a new 140bhp 2.0-litre pump injection unit. There are rumours that the 174bhp 2.5 litre in-line five-cylinder TDI from the Touareg may be slotted in at some point. Further down the line, expect a replacement for the ravishing 3.2-litre V6 R32, which was only launched in Golf Mk. 4 form

Once again, safety comes high on Volkswagen's list of priorities, with six airbags, active head restraints and three-point seat belts all fitted as standard.

All info in next reply, after someone has replyed.
