Difficult, really is worth doing. Bravo, Honda!

Pagani Zonda Cinque - The next Pagani Supercar

The Italian supercar maker, Pagani, is planning to build a race version of the Zonda F called the Zonda R.The Race version of the car will be called the Pagani Zonda Cinque.
The Pagani Zonda Cinque, which translates as Zonda Five because there will be only 5 built ever, takes an already breath-takingly fast car to yet another level. Nothing has been officially revealed yet, but we expect the engine to remain similar to the one in the Zonda F. But how much more power can be extracted of the 6.0 liter, 12 cylinder, 750 bhp engine is something that remains to be seen. Expect a price tag of 1 million Euro!

Turbo 1.4 petrol for the Punto

The Fiat Punto is slated to get a turbo 1.4 mill producing 155 bhp under its bonnet. The name Punto Turbo is also a clear sign the car is aimed for production. Fiat has always had a tradition of preparing turbo variants of its cars. There also may come an Abarth version in South America, fitted probably with the 1.9-litre engine. Well, we'd love that engine too, to be turbo charged, but that's something that may not actually materialise.

Fiesta hatchback and sedan confirmed for the US marker

The new Fiesta will be produced in Mexico and will be sold to the entire South American market. Ford has made its obvious decision official in the presence of Alan Mulally, Ford CEO, and the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa.
While the production of the new car in Mexico was just an official announcement of a known news, the fact that the hatchback version of the car will also be sold in the USA, is something that we didn't know earier. While the hatch version will offer some competition to the Mini, the decision was made as the hatch body style is popular in Brazil and Mexico, and it wouldn't cost Ford anything extra to offer the car in the US as well.
The sedan version of the car is inspired by the Verve concept shown at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show.

Freed - Honda's new Jazz/fit based minivan

The new Honda Feed shares its platform with the Honda Jazz/Fit and is capable of carrying up to 8 people. Since the Honda Fit will be made in Brazil, Honda is expected to use the Freed to expand its market in the country. Knowing that the Chevrolet Zafira that carries 7 people is the only other minivan in Brazil, should give the plan a further boost.
If priced properly, the Freed would be a great minivan option. The car shares its 1.5-litre VTEC engine with the Fit, is 4.22 m long, 1.72 m tall and 1.70 m wide and has a long wheelbase of 2.74 m. The Japanese version of the car is designed to carry 5, 7 or 8 people. The luggage space increases as the people carrying capacity decreases. In Brazil, the car would certainly be offered in its 7 or 8 seater version.
