| | VW, Mitsu and Chery to Develop Minicar with Chrysler | | 2007-06-11 17:25:00 | | It’s well document that China’s Chery Auto will be working closely with Chrysler for the development of a new Chinese built model to be sold in the US, but latest reports are suggesting that Chery might not be the only carmaker in bed with Chrysler. There’s also talk of Chery building a second model for Chrysler, which will be sold by the American automaker in emerging markets such as South America and Eastern Europe.According to AutoWeek, Chrysler is expected to make an announcement very soon outlining its plans for a production version of the Hornet Concept car that was first displayed at last year’s Geneva Motor Show. The latest news is that Volkswagen AG and Mitsubishi will be involved in the car’s development, most likely to supply the project with a range of world-class powertrains. The original concept car featured a supercharged four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 170hp, but the production car will likely be offered with both petrol and turbodiesel options.

| | GM Chevy Minicar Concept; Big Things Come In Small Packages | | 2007-05-12 06:08:00 | | General Motors showed off 3 Minicar concepts at the recent New York International Auto Show. The Cars were designed in its South Korea design studio in Inchon. GM were asking potential customers to go to www.vote4chevrolet.com to cast a vote on their favorite of the 3. I believe GM was testing the waters to see if any of the 3 would float.The first being the Chevrolet Beat Concept which has a 1.2 liter gasoline engine and automatic transmission. It is a 3 door hatchback that has a fabric covered instrument panel that will give it an uplevel feel. The Chevrolet Groove Concept is a 4 door and features the only deisel engine of the minicars. It is a 1.0 liter deisel and could get up to 50 miles to a gallon. The Chevrolet Groove has a matte finish similar to the finish on cell phones, but GM is concerned the sought after matte finish will shine up from buffing of car washes.The Chevrolet Trax Concept will feature a low cost All Wheel Drive option with a 1.0 liter gas engine.
