The model has a tall roof and over 75 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. These rear seats can fit three and give the interior a spacious feel. The van holds a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and is capable of 19 mpg during city driving. Unfortunately, the inventive 13-inch touch screen will not be included with the van; maybe it is a sneak-peak for features in other future Ford models? Only time will tell.

Kia Koup:

This small sport-compact was revealed by Kia to the public as a concept model. The most striking feature about this striking coupe is the panoramic glass panel that acts as a roof. Other prominent features include the carbon fiber accent trim on various aspects of the interior and exterior, 19-inch wheels with massive red Brembo brake calipers and uniquely shaped adaptive headlights. Under the hood sits a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that has direct injection and can generate 290 horsepower to the front wheels. The concept was equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission that uses useful shift paddles to expand driver control. Kia also included Electronic Stability Control onto this visually appealing concept.

Nissan Denki Cube:

Nissans Denki Cube Concept is literally in the shape of a cube, with a front end that slightly extends beyond the shape of course. The interesting vehicle has a 1.3-liter engine that teams with laminated battery operated electric motor. The Denki Cube also had an “e-4WD” system that when combined with the engines, gives the automobile 37 mpg. The interior had more than enough room for two rows of seats, which is one less than the Japanese production car. This concept also featured a revamped steering wheel, trim and instrument panel.

Scion Hako Coupe:

This eccentric concept was supposedly inspired by the xB model and it forces speculation that maybe it will be a future replacement for the box wagon? The Hako Coupe is shorter than the xB and has small, slit headlights that sit on the rounded bold front-end. The vertical front windshield is just one side of the boxed top over the interior of the model. The inside is just as unconventional as the outside. The driver seat is orange and the passenger seat is black; this is meant to distinguish the different parts of the cabin. There are two dashboard video screens for the entertainment system and four more on the doors and sides of the rear seats. The exterior cameras can record the vehicle surroundings for a visual display of the trip. This futuristic concept, or at least parts of it, will be used in future models by the Scion manufacturer.

Suzuki Concept Kizashi 3:

The Japanese automaker announced that the third version of this exciting model is planned to go on sale in the US market as a 2010 model. The midsize sedan gives reason to be excited; it has curvy lines that extend from the front end to the rear and a deep grille.

Things that are known about the Kizashi 3 is that is has all-wheel drive, uses a 300-horsepower 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 engine and teams with a six-speed automatic transmission, complete with paddle shifting. Keep an eye out for this striking concept in the not too distant future.

The S5S will also run on E85 ethanol fuel, making this high-performance vehicle more earth friendly. The all-aluminum exterior also sheds pounds of weight from the vehicle design. This exhilarating concept has the potential to be produced, and all we can do is cross our fingers for such an event.

Mitsubishi i:

:
This minicar has been sold in Japan since 2006. The electric-powered concept is called the MiEV, which stands for Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle. Mitsubishi claims that the lithium-ion battery can travel 100 miles on one charge! The model is only slightly longer than the Smart ForTwo automobile. It would be nice if this eco-friendly model will go on sale in the US, but there is no word about that notion yet.
