Only announced that the hatch and Sport Tourer will benefit from these changes its unfortunate that the coupe wasnt included. However it makes a nice change to the Lagunas looks and fits superbly with the rest of Renaults range. 2010-9-4 09:13:23 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#74645 2010-9-4 09:13:23 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#74640 Two years ago MINI unveiled a concept car at Paris that for all intensive purposes was pretty ugly giant bumpers and raised platform made it look a bit of a mess.Who wouldve guessed it would lead to this beautiful example of a 4x4 the MINI countryman. I guess this will be their focus at the show this year too. 2010-9-4 09:07:21 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#74637 Chevrolet are already doing well this year at Paris with the new Orlando debut the second in the four cars that are being previewed at the show will be the new Cruze Hatchback. Looking a lot more compact than the saloon the hatch offers hatchback styling at great value.This together with the Orlando is sure to make a big impression at the show this year and Chevrolet seem to be on a winning streak ever since their departure from the stronghold of the GM group. We think it looks wicked 2010-9-4 08:24:04 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#74636 Mazda have revealed their new fourdoor fourseater sports coupe concept to show off their new design theme KODO SOUL OF MOTIONShinari is the new concept that represents many new design features that will be carried into production vehicles of the brand and from the looks of it things can only get better for Mazda. After a year of great looking cars and facelifts the lineup for future models looks like it will be fantastic if this is what they are basing their designs on.From the pinched grille to the athletic interior as it is described by Mazda the Shinari looks beautifully sculpted. 2010-9-3 08:24:04 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#74459 Hyundai this year are keeping things shtum rather than the other manufacturers that have released photos of new cars to expect at this years Mondial de lAutomobile.However like Toyota they are also releasing a new B Segment MPV and christening it the ix20. Not much information on the model itself merely mentioning the crossover aspect of a people carrier cross exciting dynamic driving experience.

Other cars in the Hyundai line up this year will be their new i10 benefiting from a new design and secification including a 1.0 litre version giving minute CO2 emissions of just 99gkm. Tieing in just nicely with showcasing their latest advances with Blue Drive their hybrid competition. 2010-9-2 10:03:34 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#74370 Lexus have today explained a little technical magic that they have incorporated into their new small hybrid the CT 200h.Interior lighting can be a deciding feature for any potential buyer you dont want to be seen driving a mobile pleasure house but a mobile disco can be distracting also. Lexus have decided to link their lighting to how you fancy driving in a very invoking way.Due to its hybrid nature the default setting is blue for when you fancy relaxing while cruising down the motorway or on an eco march through towns and cities. When in eco mode the left hand meter monitors the hybrid system indicating how eco youre really driving.Switch the CT200h into sport however and everything changes. Red glares around the dials and invokes that sporting feel. Not only changing how the car drives it also changes the left hand meter to unveil that all important Tachometer needed for you to know how much more you can push the pedal to the metal. 2010-9-1 14:50:00 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#74214 Citroen yesterday announced a new model in their DS range The DS4A car that combines that effortless 22 styling of a coupe with all the practicality of having the rear doors with hidden door handles integrated into the chrome stitched styling of the beautiful new model.Citroen are unveiling the new DS4 at Paris Motorshow later this year to go on sale in 2011.

They are slowly building up the numbers to the 43 planned models by 2011 and the A7 looks like itll slip in the line up just nicely underneath that beautiful new A8.Sportbacks seem to be all the rage for Audi at the moment competing with BMWs Grand Touring range. A lovely looking 4 door pillarless coupe. One would imagine the new A7 is up against the likes of Mercedes CL which a new shape has also been announced recently.Prices beginning at just over 16342000 Audi have made it fairly cheap for its luxury appeal but you wont be seeing them on the road until January 2011. 2010-7-27 18:32:47 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#71282 The SR1 was a fantastic concept and Peugeot have translated it just beautifully into the 508 released next year benefiting from HYbrid4 technology the 508 will come in a range of engines all emitting low CO2.Body styles at launch will be saloon and SW although the concept boasted style as a convertible.

Other cars featuring very heavily at the grounds were the Bentley Super Sports Citroens new super mini the DS3 and Rolls Royce made an appearance with the Ghost.Fairly still new to the Europe car market Infiniti made a big noise with their whole range amongst a huge black an purple tent Toy Story screening on the TV and Buzz Lightyear himself or at leat Sutton Coldfields answer to the superheroImages are up on the gallery to enjoy. 2010-5-28 12:47:16 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#66079 The Beautiful Megane Coupe Cabriolet pricing has been announced today and looks like you could be enjoying the sun from just 16321K65279VersionEngineCO2 gkmCombined MPGPrice OTRDynamique TomTom1.4 TCe 13016938.7163215952.0 CVT 14018435.3163225951.5 dCi 110 EDC Auto FAP13056.5163235951.9 dCi 13014948.716323095GT2.0 TCe 18018834.9163248802.0 dCi 16017542.216325830 2010-5-25 12:28:01 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#66058 The RCZ is here and what a beauty it isThis is a breakthrough for Peugeot who are aiming to be the leading manufacturer known for its design focus and concepts. A few years ago they showed us all the beautiful bumps and curves of the RCZ concept like many concepts it was believed by the industry that it wouldnt happen but proving us all wrong the french manufacturer delivered on what is probably the most true to concept car ever made. More recently they unveiled a beautiful concept called the 5 by Peugeot should we expect to see this come next year 2010-5-13 09:47:31 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#53731 The new A8 was launched yesterday in Miami and what an unveil they put on combining everything Audi with everything art and design.

Designed for stress relief keeping the driver alert and aware for driving in this busy urban world.The silly thing is whereas we may expect to have seen this press release on April fools day its actually being done and fitted to every new M saloon Infiniti are making next year... and I think itll work.It wont interrupt how the conventional system works instead itll adjust to accommodate for hot and cold randomly modulated air vents will create a more natural sense of the wind blowing in all directions and aroma diffusers that incorporate the calming antifatigue scents of leaf and the invigorating wood scent said to help aid concentration while driving.Now its just a waiting game until the model is released next year for us to test it out. 2009-10-23 11:52:47 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#51077 163300000 is a lot of moneyIf you gave me 163300000 I would be having a field day and can think of at least three must haves I would buy.1. An R82. An apartment abroad3. A shopping spree on 5th AvenueWell Lexus seem to think that their new supercar the LFA is worth all those things and 16336000 morePractically handmade from the minute the idea was agreed the LFA is different from any other supercar using carbon fibre for the chassis and main frame of the car and using a hand built dedicated 4.8 litre engine delivering over 550bhp makes the LFAs price tag a little softer on the ears.However I cant get over it and even after reading the press release this morning I still dont quite understand the high price. Toyota put their everything into making new instruments using current technologies like Dual VVTi meaning that the new supercar stays true to the companys identity and with collaborations with Yamaha wouldnt that make it lower cost Im not claiming to be an expert when it comes to pr... 2009-10-21 09:15:01 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#50348 Yesterday Rich and I went down to that London to chat to Colin Ferguson better known as Sheriff Jack Carter from A Town Called Eureka.

We have been spoilt with Supercars from Audi Ferrari and Maserati and tickled with laughter at some odd concepts from Pugeot and Renault.Our favorite car to be unveiled is of course the Audi R8 Spyder a beautiful car made even more sexy Then Audi took the R8 front and seem to have merged it with the rear of their new Sportback smoothed over a few creases and introduced concept Etron the electric sports car.Next its Lamborghini and with the Murcialago roaring into the distance they unveiled the new ReventonIt looks quite similar but a lot more edgier and beasty with angles and grooves everywhereFerrari officially announced the 458 Italia the brand seems to be becoming a lot more smooth and curved since the California was unveiled in Paris last year.Maserati unveiled the GranCabrio and after the Spyder was discontinued Maserati seem to have really outdone themselves with their new convertible.Volkswagen have... 2009-9-16 09:39:54 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#48478 Mercedes have released Images of their new Gullwing the SLS AMGA 6.3litre V8 churning out 571 bhp and a 062mph time of just 3.8 seconds......Need we say more. 2009-9-10 08:57:53 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#48357 Following suit of the beautiful new C70 Volvo have face lifted their baby Volvo and it looks meaner than ever before.Keeping true to the brand they have again taken inspiration from the S60 Concept to create the new front giving the car that bracing stance. With the giant Volvo logo in the honeycomb grille bigger intakes resembling that of the XC60 and the angled offset headlamps the C30 looks sportier meaner and overall a more refined design than that of the previous shape. The rear remains relatively unchanged apart from a more pronounced bumper and if you get the accessories pack then you benefit from chrome highlights throughout which really make a difference.Of course Volvo never just stop with the outside. The interior has been updated wit new colour options including EspressoBlond. Staying true to their Scandinavian roots so all you need is a fine pair of legs to complete the look.Finally an optional sport chassis giving the C30 a sharper ride with more precise steering and an... 2009-9-8 09:53:32 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#48304 Ford Has released Images of the all new CMax so now it fits seamlessly into the rest of the line up taking elements from the Fiesta and Focus models.Keeping all the comforts of the old model and introducing new technologies like blind spot detection and parking aids.The CMax will be available late 2010 and will fit into the Global range including the new 2010 Focus yet to be revealed. 2009-9-7 10:03:38 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#48301 Alpha have decided to team up with TVs Louise Roe to challenge two upandcoming fashion designers to create a line of womens jeans that would be as cool and desirable as the Alfa MiTo and and at the same time raise money for charity Jeans for genes.Working off the idea of the MiTos D.N.A button dynamic normal all weather and the idea that DNA is in your Genes the designers got to work and have created something certainly...unique.To see the designs and shop for them visit www.mitojeans.co.uk 2009-9-7 08:52:50 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#47876 Renault have announced the Fluence. A new saloon designed to stand out as the most attractive car in its class.After they announced the Laguna and new Megane Renault were certainly taking a step in the right direction then the Laguna Coupe came to fruition and it got people talking for all the right reasons. All this combined with a toungueincheek ad campaign and Renault seem to have it all.Clean lines and that rather strong distinct styling shouldnt however distract you from thinking that the new Fluence is said to be a comfortable ride and follows suit with the rest of the Renault range with its ergonomic interior.Unfortunately we wont be seeing the Fluence in the UK however Turkey Russia and Romania will reap the benefits of Renaults latest offering. 2009-9-1 10:57:49 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#47875 One of my favourite converitbles has been to Harley Street and had a faceliftThe gorgeous C70 benefits from Volvos new bulky braced stance and chunky bonnet some pretty new headlamps and an overall sexy lookEnough said I feel... 2009-9-1 10:36:13 http://www.topgayer.info/page2.htm#47745 The eagerly awaited new Batman game has been awarded Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever by the Guinness Wold Record association achieving the highest average score of 91.67 from reviews around the world.The game is said to push the boundaries of superhero adventure creating a dark atmosphere and diverse gameplay.

Lastly sports pedals in brushed aluminium with rubber grips complete the bling inside.
