So it's that time of year again guys & girls! Sure alot of it has been leaked or shown before today, but it's today that alot of the technical & mechanical stuff gets let out to go along with the pictures! So being simple, whats your highlights? What's surprised you...and if there is any, your biggest letdown? Highlights: New Twingo for me. [ATTACH]19968[/ATTACH] Why? Rear engined RWD in a small car. top engine is the 900cc TCe from the Clio, sporting 89hp & 100lb ft torques, coupled to a 5 speed manual transmission. Should be a fair car to hoon around! Need to see what the sport/Gordini model offers up (Personally, expecting upwords of 100Hp minimum, but sadly the RS wont be coming back), but this car is firmly on my radar for next year! Info: Autocar & Evo. Also a shoutout to the Jeep Renegade, which looks like it can do what the Suzuki jimny has done for years!(A Small car with real off-road capabilitys) and Honda for getting more of the new Civic Type-R out there! letdown? Well not really a let down, more a case of "Gee another one? I though they stopped making them already " for the Bugatti Veyron Legend. So whats your up's & downs? :cool:

Alpina to debut B6 GT3 and B7 at Geneva show BMW may have its own tuning division that carries its vaunted M badge, but Alpina enjoys a close relationship of its own with the Bavarian automaker. Alpina's tuner cars are built right off the BMW assembly line and available directly through BMW dealerships. One of the largest tuner firms in the industry, Alpina is preparing to debut two of its newest offerings at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. First up to bat is the B6 GT3, the racer with which Alpina has returned to motorsport competition after a 20-year absence. Those details have already been released, but joining the race-tuned 6 Series is tipped to be the new B7, Alpina's take on the latest F01-generation BMW 7 Series sedan that's anticipated to pull over 500 horsepower out of its centrifugal-supercharged 4.4-liter V8. So far, all we've seen is a teaser sketch and a raft of speculation on the supercharged 7, but we'll be looking forward to getting more solid information as we get closer to the Swiss show in the coming weeks..
