Dodgy Spy-Shots

This certainly isn't your usual spy-shot. It's of the forthcoming Dodge Viper and it is actually a Hotwheels model. This story emerged two weeks ago with a poor-definition picture. It tells of how Hotwheels released a picture of their model of the 2013 Viper well before Dodge had launched the actual vehicle.

Anyway, today, Autoguide had some even better spy-shots including the one I've used here.

I'm not too sure what the fuss is about really though - it looks just like the old Viper.

Unlike the new Nissan Micra - I've got hold of some spy-shots of that and it looks like quite a departure from what went before.

Take a look at these!...

To Infiniti and Beyond

What could be beyond Infinity?



Eternity?



Nah. And what happens when you spell them wrong?



Infiniti are Nissan's answer to Toyota's Lexus - luxury well-built cars but a bit boring. I mean look at this G37...It even looks quite Lexusish.



Infiniti have stated that they want to seriously up the numbers they sell in the UK next year. Up to now they've gone for the exclusive angle with a minimal number of dealerships hidden around the country - next year they're opening a few more.



But would anyone want to copy them?



Apparently so.This child's cardboard cut-out of a Peugeot with big wheels is supposed to be the new Eterniti luxury British car launching at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. It's supposed to be an SUV - a posh Cayenne-type for Aston Martin money.



Lots of motoring sites including Autocar and me are mentioning it but I'm not sure why - I doubt if it will ever exist in the metal.



Unless Mattel do a Hotwheels version.



In fact, that looks like who they've nicked the wheel design from.
