Infiniti Emerg-e concept car (2012): leaked patent drawings

Looks like this is the Infiniti Emerg-e concept car bound for the 2012 Geneva motor show. These leaked images from an Italian blog, filed at the European patent office, have surfaced overnight, blowing the planned embargo on Infiniti's range-extender hybrid sports car concept.

Infiniti has only issued a couple of teaser photos and confirmed the name of the Infiniti Emerg-e and had hoped to keep the styling under wraps until 6 March 2012.
Infiniti Emerg-e: what we know so far

Details remain sketchy about the Emerg-e so far. We know it's a 'range-extender' hybrid and will run on zero-emissions electric mode for substantial periods. It's the first Infiniti to feature this powertrain.

Infiniti has also confirmed this Evora-alike design packages the range-extender hybrid hardware amidships.

An earlier announcement said: 'Mid-ship layout for optimal weight distribution, at the same time facilitating a change in vocabulary for Infiniti’s design language.' So take note of the kinked C-pillar and body surfacing of these leaked Emerg-e design sketches. They may indeed point to future styling directions for Infiniti.

Early dripfeed teasers also claim the car is very lightweight.

2013 Lexus GS 350's passion found in its performance, not looks

The luxury sedan moves the emotion needle from a driving standpoint, but its new design falls short of the car maker's ambitions.

The 2013 Lexus GS 350's aesthetics start out nicely in the front. But move past the front end and youve moved past all the style worth mentioning.

The 2013 Lexus GS 350's aesthetics start out nicely in the front. But… (Lexus)

By David Undercoffler, Los Angeles Times

Like first-timers at a key party or a cheesehead's trek to Lambeau, Lexus is on a quest for passion and it couldn't come at a more critical time.

Toyota's luxury division lost the title of America's bestselling luxury brand in 2011 for the first time in 11 years. Lexus rightly blames Japan's earthquake and tsunami and their effect on supply chains, but have you driven the company's product line recently? A $400,000 supercar notwithstanding, my daily bowl of Grape-Nuts is more exciting.

Volvo Car Pictures

By the late 1990s, Volvo had dropped the 3-figure model names and extended its range. The biggest shock was a Volvo with curves. The S/V40 range was the result of a joint venture with Mitsubishi. The styling of the car was much more up to date than its predecessor, the 440. In fact, the V40 wagon was named most beautiful estate car by an Italian magazine.The 850 was facelifted in 1996 with two new cars, the S70 sedan and the V70 wagon. These two cars advanced Volvo technology by adding 4-wheel drive to the list of options available on Volvo cars.

In Pictures – 2012 Toyota Innova Facelift

Toyota will be unveiling the Innova facelift at the upcoming Auto Expo. The Japanese automaker will only launch the 2012 Innova by the end of January. The new Innova has already been spotted multiple times and some media houses have even tested it. The changes to the exteriors are very minute, with the headlights now slightly squarish. The bumpers and grille have been modified, while the side profile remains the same. New alloy wheels debut on the 2012 Innova while the rear has slightly altered tail lamps.

On the inside, the dashboard layout remains unaltered but the Innova now gets the steering wheel from the Camry. The new steering wheel looks smashing, neatly incorporating audio and multi-information display controls. Chrome inserts are present on the steering wheel and center console. The Innova also gets a new audio system and reverse guide system. There are no many changes to talk about but the biggest positive about the Innova facelift is the increase in production by the company. Waiting period will be eliminated completely and the new Innova will be slightly costlier than the outgoing version.
