Next year the Japanese company Honda will begin sales of first hybrid coupe CR-Z which in the form of the concept car has been presented on the international motor show to Tokyo, but without competirion the car does not remain, so over a hybrid coupe concern Toyota works also, not preparing to lose leadership in a segment of cars with two motors.
Today it was possible to receive some particulars about car Toyota Prius Coupe which will be constructed on chassis Prius and it begins to be completed with the hybrid unit consisting of 1,8-litre petrol motor VVT-i.

In a global network there were the first official photos of new generation Nissan Micra made journalists on the international motor show in Tokyo during special action, the car devoted to the future debut. To pleasure of admirers of compact Japanese model, the car has turned out very stylish and nice though first sketches Nissan Micra of new generation inspired some fears concerning design. Nissan it was possible to keep original shape of the car, but some stylistic decisions a novelty has borrowed at competitors: the lattice looks same as at cars MINI, and the head optics bears a faint resemblance to headlights of Italian hatchback Fiat Punto. Small aggression of appearance Nissan Micra gives a cowl though, of course, the car is not created for fast style of driving and it is focused on the slow movement, alternating by standing in plugs.
Nissan Micra it is constructed on a new platform, easier which allows passengers to feel free enough in model interior. Engineers managed to lower car weight on 50 kg, and as have noted in the company, the model became purer, more economic and more obediently in steering. I would like to add that this car is really great to rent if you are visiting someone in a big city with parking problems, so by renting this car will give you more freedom of moving in the big city.
It is supposed, that novelty sale in the local market will begin only autumn of next year. Car assembly will adjust at factories in Thailand and India that will give the chance to the company to lower expenses for manufacture and not to increase cost Nissan Micra 2011 modelling years.
Japanese motor-car manufacturer Mitsubishi has published the first sketch of the new compact crossover, which main contender becomes rather popular in domestic motorists suv Nissan Qashqai if to shut eyes to that at a novelty as some experts believe, probably, presence of hybrid version.

As writes Autocar, power ruler Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, whose test prototype this week has been noticed on over-the-road tests, will make economic diesel and petrol motors which will be diluted”by a hybrid power-plant with possibility of additional charge of batteries from the household electric system. In standard equipment the car will offer the buyer with a forward control, but in richer complete sets clients Mitsubishi will receive an off-road car equippment with system of an all wheel drive and transmission with two clutches.
Let’s remind, show penalties Mitsubishi cX in Frankfurt of 134 h.p. so it is possible to assume have been presented with the 1.8-litre diesel engine power, that the given motor will not appear “behind a board” and at start of the serial version of a hybrid crossover.
In the homeland the car will arrive in interiors of official dealers in February, 2010. World premiere Mitsubishi Outlander Sport will take place in March on the Geneva motor show then the model will appear at retailers in Europe and the USA.
