Alfa Romeo's comeback with the 4C coupe at the
Geneva Motor Show next month is a welcome move from the Fiat-Chrysler alliance, but it's only a single model and a limited production one at that.
If the Milanese firm is serious about catching up with the rest of the world, and by that, we mean German, Japanese and even American carmakers; its needs to follow up with more proposals, and especially ones that capture the hearts and souls of car enthusiasts.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of
Lamborghini and the Italian company has scheduled many events to celebrate the birthday. Perhaps the most important will be a “special model” that company CEO Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed for the upcoming
Geneva Auto Show in March.

This year's
Detroit Auto Show was all about Acuras instead of the core brand, but the Japanese clearly didn't want to leave North America without giving us a new
Honda. They choose the Montreal International Auto Show for their premier, so go ahead and blame Canada for getting the first peek at a future we hope Honda embraces.
Designed by Honda's Advanced Design Studio in downtown Los Angeles, the
GEAR Concept is a subcompact hatchback aimed at the fashion conscious Gen-Y costumers. Appereantly, it was inspired by fixed-gear bicycles. While I can't see the resemblance, the intentions are clear: Honda wants to give the world a trendy, customizable city car that also keeps being practical and most importantly, affordable for young people. We hope they plan on keeping the Pagani-style quad exhausts as well.

It may not be a standalone brand yet, as reports have suggested, but the 500 family is nevertheless expanding rapidly with five-door minivan and crossover offsoots.
That’s not to say that Chrysler’s Italian partner has left the standard, three-door 500 alone: after introducing the 160HP 500C
Abarth and the all-electric 500e at LA last November, today it unveiled two design concepts at
the 2013 North American International Auto Show.

Beginning from next year,
BMW fans will have to get used to calling the new coupe version of the 3-Series the

After dropping a cropped image of the new Infiniti Q50 earlier today, Detroit auto show-spoiler
nee scoop photographer
Chris Doane came out with a
second photo of a new model that we have yet to see in its full form.
Feel free to agree with us or speculate as you please, but judging from the exterior color and the liberal use of carbon fiber trims on the front grille and wheel arches, we believe that the car you see here is the new Toyota Furia sedan concept.

Even if you wanted to, you can't ignore all the customized and conceptual Toyota 86 sport coupes that are on display at this week's
Tokyo Auto Salon in Japan.
We don't know whether Toyota should worry, but a great number of tuners focused their efforts on altering the appearance of the rear-wheel drive coupe that's marketed as the Toyota GT 86 outside of Japan and the Scion FR-S in North America.

To be frank,
Toyota got it right the first time with the original concepts for the 86 and the
FR-S, but for one reason or another, it toned down the design of both models when time came to introduce the production variants.
While no doubt a success, many people have also complained about the lack of power from the Subaru-sourced 2.0-liter naturally aspirated flat four that generates 200-horses.
Toyota's racing and tuning partner
Gazoo Racing is looking to rectify both issues with a new concept unveiled today at the
Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 named the 'GRMN SPORTS FR Concept PLATINUM'.

From the looks of things,
Toyota does not intend to show us its new Furia Concept in its fullness before the car's world premiere at the
Detroit Auto Show on January 14.
Instead, the Japanese automaker continues the teasing with a cropped shot of the sedan's rear quarter revealing its
bubbly tail lamps and carbon fiber boot lid spoiler.
