Meet Munich’s miniaturized version of the M3.

BMW 1 Series M Coupe goes on sale in spring 2011. it has the width of the track, which is a full 80mm wider than the 135i’s. This is determined by the rear axle, which is lifted wholesale from the BMW M3. Rims of 19-inch in diameter will be standard with quad exhausts and a tiny lip spoiler on the rear boot lid.
A six-speed manual gearbox will be the only transmission option and the only wheels offered will be 19-inch in diameter. In essence, the 1 Series M Coupé takes the best bits from the Z4 sDrive35is, the M3 and the 1 Series Coupé. The straight-six, twin-turbocharged engine is based on that in the Z4 .

(2 ) 2011 Chrysler 300

Price: $28,000 (est.)

New styling inside and out for Chrysler’s iconic rear-wheel-drive sedan.

The Chrysler 300C launch is currently scheduled for December 23, 2010. An eight-speed automatic is reportedly to be available late in the year, as we predicted, but it seems to be optional even in non-SRT8 trim; a model so equipped can reportedly hit 30 mpg. The distinctive headlights are bi-functional projector types, next to LED daytime running lamps, which together form a “C” shape for on-road presence.

For improved aerodynamics and visibility, the windshield has been raked back 3 inches, while rolled-framed doors with thinner pillars improve outward visibility by 15%. A new dual-pane panoramic sunroof provides Chrysler 300 passengers with twice the outward visibility of a standard sunroof. The Chrysler 300 has chrome daylight openings, chrome front and rear fascia accents, and optional 20-inch polished-aluminum wheels.

(3) 2012 Ford C-Max

Price: $20,000 (est.)

Ford’s miniature minivan is the size of a compact sedan, with seven seats.

Ford Motor Company’s C-Max, a compact seven-passenger people mover based on the Focus and designed in Europe, will make its North American debut in early January at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. At 178 inches long, the C-Max is about the same length as a 2012 Focus sedan, with standard seating for five, plus a third row with two smaller seats. The C-Max will be the first vehicle in North America to offer Ford’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine, a turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder gasoline unit that provides the output of much larger conventional engines, with significantly better fuel economy.

The standard engine in the C-Max will be a normally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Both engines will come with a standard six-speed automatic transmission. Two intriguing new options on the C-Max include active park assist, which automatically steers the vehicle into a parallel parking space, and a hands-free power lift gate, which is activated by running your leg under the rear bumper while your key fob remains in your pocket.

(4) 2012 Honda Civic Concept

Price: Starting at less than $20,000 (est.)

Honda hints at what the new Civic will look like.

The design of the 2012 Honda Civic was revealed by two concepts brought by the Japanese automaker at Detroit Auto Show 2011. Although the model presented in the gallery is the one designed for the US market and it’s a concept, rumor has it that the European version will keep some of the design lines of the concepts presented at the NAIAS 2011. The Japanese of Honda have presented two Civic concepts at Detroit Motor Show 2011.

Both of them are a preview to the 2012 Civic. One was called Honda Civic Si Coupe Concept and the other one is the sedan version of 2012 Honda Civic, named Civic Sedan. The design of the two models is obviously focusing on the Americans’ tastes, meaning that the European Honda Civic 2012 might not look the same, especially that Honda haven’t mentioned that the new 2012 Civic will be a global model.

(5) 2012 Hyundai Veloster

Price: $18,000 (est.)

Hyundai Veloster’s unique design takes inspiration from a high-performance sport bike. Veloster has distinctive black A-pillars that give the glass a motorcycle helmet visor appearance.

Optional packages add a chrome grille surround, piano black highlights, fog lights, and a massive panoramic sunroof. In profile the Hyundai Veloster features “Fluidic Sculpture” character lines, muscular wheel arches, bodycolor door handles and mirrors, and wraparound headlights and taillights.

Hyundai Veloster comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels and offers two types of 18-inch wheels. The top-of-the-line 18-inch wheel comes with painted inserts, a segment first. Hyundai Veloster’s dynamic rear design has a distinctive glass hatch, dual centered chrome exhaust tips and black lower fascia that complements the assertive front fascia.

A greener alternative to the luxury sports car.

Mercedes-Benz announced to the world the SLS AMG, not long after that they offered details that they were in the process of developing a battery electric version as well. Despite being powered by eco-friendly batteries, it’s able to rev as high as 12,000rpm, and offer 526hp and 649ft-lbs of torque, thanks to its unique electric motor.

Mini shows a two-door version of the Countryman SUV.

A new MINI design concept will make its debut at the 2011 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) which will be held between January 10 and 23, 2011. The MINI Paceman Concept is the first Sports Activity Coupé in the premium small segment of the market. The MINI Paceman Concept study establishes a new category of car combining the fundamental MINI DNA – dynamic capability, individual design – and gives them a fresh twist with the help of cutting edge technology and an innovative new body concept.

The MINI Paceman combines the classical MINI concept with the defining features of the MINI Countryman and the style of a coupe. The result is a MINI with visual ‘muscle car’ design cues, displaying its dynamic capability from every angle. Although no decision has been made about a future production version, Paceman could form yet another building block in the development of the MINI brand.

(8) Porsche “Spectacular” Concept

Price: N/A

Porsche proudly promises something that should be at least pretty good if it lives up to half its own hype.

The new Porsche boss did not hesitate long. Just since the beginning of October in the office, Matthias Müller already talking plain and accelerates like a man who has always erase the asphalt. It encourages this with a clever Audi cooperation related SUV project below the Cayenne (“Cajun”), talks about the future idea of a compact mid-engine roadster (“Even such a topic is one of Porsche”) and puts the pressure on the series development of the super hybrid sports car 918 Spyder, which the Board has given the green light.

Like no one else sees Müller, the VW group in the global coordination of all charge of vehicle projects, the new opportunities of the sports car manufacturer. His company car is a 530-hp 911 Turbo S , and this brings us rapidly to the actual topic: Müller plans a super sports car “above the 911″, one that priced the future gap to over 700 hp and 600,000-euro 918 Spyder close to and could be clearly distinguished from what has become quite comfortable and luxurious 2+2 seater icon by expressive radicalism and another drive concept. The Swabian alternative to Ferrari Italia 458, McLaren MP4-12C and the Group’s own Lamborghini Gallardo. V8 Twin-Turbo with 600 hp A sharp dog, which does not only bite briefly, but is also suited to be driven on the motorway.

A flat two-seater would be it, one hears. Optical courageous than anything to date, but immediately recognizable as a Porsche. Design chief Michael Mauer has been the first ideas, and the proportions should be thought about compressing the perfect speed – a car that only about 1.22 meters high, 4.50 meters long and about 1.90 meters wide and even a bit of room fine for weekend luggage offers.

(9) Toyota Prius “Family”

Price: Less than $30,000 (est.)

Figuratively speaking, the Toyota Prius now comes in three distinct shades of green.

With the expansion of the Prius family, a new evolution of vehicles will further increase the acceptance of hybrids with Prius’ same core values of high fuel economy, low emissions, proven technology and environmental stewardship. “This is no ordinary family. It’s a modern family with a Prius for everyone,” said Bob Carter, Toyota Division group vice president and general manager. “The Prius v is an all-new dedicated hybrid vehicle, and all future Prius family members will be as well.

They will all share common Prius attributes but will be unique, with a special appeal to different buyers.” The Prius midsize liftback has accounted for more than 955,000 sales in the U.S. since it was introduced in 2000. The third-generation Prius, which reached dealerships in June 2009, has continued the hybrid’s heritage of exceptional fuel economy and low emissions, while becoming the third-best selling Toyota passenger car in the U.S.

(10) 2012 Volkswagen New Midsize Sedan

Price: $20,000 (est.)

Volkswagen introduces the replacement for the Passat.

Volkswagen has revealed the all-new Volkswagen New Midsized Sedan that we saw Friday ahead of its debut at the North American International Auto Show this week. The new car has been named the 2012 Volkswagen Passat. Not to be confused with the yet-to-be announced Volkswagen Passat Australia will get in the next couple of years, this will be an exclusively-American model specifically designed for the country. The main consumer-related temptation this car will hold though is the price.

It will be made in the US, Tennessee, which means price tags are expected to hover around the $20,000 mark, making it quite the bargain, and considerably cheaper than the current Passat (around $7000 cheaper). This could be a great proposition for the American market, especially for a car that is ‘German-engineered’.
