The first one is a joke, looks like something a 17 yr old knocked up. It was also a 'concept' so long ago the car should be a classic by now!

The first one jura posted looks ok.

What?

Simple Recession,nobody buying these cars in high volumes(due high fuel costs etc) and there is market in small cars with hybrid engines.

New EVO or Impreza STi/WRX will be have 1.6 turbo engines...

World which we know now,is probably ...

SIAL and about 3 years old!

The Toybaru (FT-86) should it happen will have DI petrol engines for emissions but retain the flat four. Capacity may stay the same you never know.

I think you'll find and no big suprise, WILL be the Hybrid Scoob, NA V2 engine and the Toyota electrics motor Talk of a Turbo'd Hybrid version

Repositioning of the Intercooler, Turbo & mods on the V2 engine were specifically so that the Toyota Electric motor will fit IIRC

I really really really really despise new cars, all of them, why are all the headlights trying to escape up the side of the car ?

There is an untapped market for cars that leave the factory with low(ish) CO2, for tax reasons, albeit can be easily upgraded after that imho ... like the Evo 260. Best of both worlds then

Don't see any reason why the move toward small capacity turbocharged engines shouldn't be made. The WRC are doing it (I seem to recall 300bhp from the Citroen DS3 being mentioned), and why shouldn't car makers look for more efficient ways of producing their power? Hybrids are also unavoidable, despite the obvious resistance. People seem to think they're saving the world with them for some reason.
