SAIC wins LA Auto Show Design Challenge

China's SAIC, the parent company of Roewe and MG brands (yes, Morris Garages and what used to be Rover), took the top spot in the LA Auto Show Design challenge with its Mobiliant Concept, beating other contestants like BMW DesignworksUSA, Subaru, Mazda, Changfeng, Quoros, and others. The theme for this year's challenge at the LA Auto Show was "Biomimicry & Mobility 2025: Nature's Answer to Human Challenges." Entrants were directed to propose design concepts that integrated the concept of biomimicry into transportation concepts. Quite a challenge and quite an open theme, especially when you consider that last year's theme was pretty straightforward: "Highway Patrol Vehicles in the Year 2025." In 2012 the Subaru SHARC concept took the top prize.

Mercedes-Benz SLC supercar spied on the road

There is life after the SLR for Mercedes, and spy shooters have caught plastic-clad versions of the new SLC that's due for 2011. We've seen this car before, but it continues to make us lick our chops. Previous shots showed gullwings, which these prototypes appear to have, though the doors are closed.

Porsche Panamera interiors revealed

The interior of the Porsche Panamera - a big improvement on the outside styling [ad#ad-1] The Porsche Panamera saga has been going on for as long as the Aston Martin Rapide saga. Endless spy shots, dribbles of information and finally, last month, the first official photos of the car. But now we have official photos of the interior, which should now pretty much complete the information we’re likely to get ahead of the car’s official launch in the UK on September 12th, except for prices, which I’m sure will surface before long.
