2013 Chevrolet Impala Imagined by Casey/Art and Colour

I've got to say, this looks really good....
"2013 Impala—The next large Chevy sedan will be based on the same architecture as the new Cadillac XTS. I've created a Chevy version of that car, and I'm guessing it's pretty close to the real deal. I've used classic Impala logos and wheels, as well as very 1961-like Chevy lettering on the hood. Compared with the XTS, I've simplified the bodysides and given it a late-model Impala greenhouse, as well as smoothing out the trunk shape."

New Honda Convertible Concept, Not the Next S2000

With the July 22nd London Auto Show approaching brings out a new concept from Honda, the Open Study Model or OSM. The lightweight, two-seater, open-air sports car is another design study by Honda that attempts to blend performance and sustainable motoring into a comprehensive package. Designed by Honda's R&D center in Offenbach, Germany, the OSM is a vehicle in the same environmentally friendly vein as the CRZ Concept unveiled in Tokyo last year, considered to be a low emissions alternative to the traditional sports coupe.

Honda insists that the OSM is strictly a design study and is not confirmed for production.

BMW's GINA Allows for Maximum Freedom of Crea-tivity

Yeah yeah, it's not a Honda, but man is that a cool idea as far as concepts go! It looks like they built a frame and covered it with some type of fabric (look at how the hood gets 'unzipped' and how the doors open). Awesome idea. I think this is the most aggressive front end that I have ever seen, it just looks angry.

The key to affecting the development of tomorrow's mobility lies in our readiness to challenge what is established and in the ability to present new options. In order to meet these objectives, BMW Group Design taps into the potential of the GINA principle (Geometry and Functions In "N" Adaptions) which promotes innovative thinking by allowing maximum freedom of crea-tivity. GINA produces dramatically different solutions that affect the design and functionality of future cars. The GINA Light Visionary Model is an optical expression of selective, future-oriented concepts which provide an example of the manner and extent of this transformation
