Gymkhana 2.1, Electric Audi Teased, MINI Gives Coupe Green Light, McLaren Makes Moves - 09/04/2009

I don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but just in case you haven't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOkC3MwWNDA

Z28. It means Honda sucks. It still does even though it wont be a production model for 2011. I think the crosstour would be a great idea for income, but not a very good design choice. And, no offence, but this is for people who have no taste in cars. Now about the Minis. The new mini crossover will be called either the countryman or the traveller, and if it is called the monte calro "I will quit my job" (mini of manhattan dealer says. 
New diesel for 10/11 and the coupe will be called the coupster and the roadster the speedster. 
Finally what will Porsche come up with next? Well just to be clear, if  the make a ute, i would love them till the end. I would drive that mullet, because Its like saying "buisness in the front and party in the rear"....WELCOME BACK 1980s, you will be reunited with the El Camino and Ranchero of the future.
And lastly, No ones Gonna buy your city car Gordon Murray. No one buys the smart car in the USA because of those crash test ratings that came in this past few months. if the smart car shows your legs being amputated by the dash, what the hell will THIS car do? It is a human death trap on wheels, much like those motorized bar stools or that Go-Kart.

By annie was going to facebook you but couldn't find your profile!  Good work on Friday!  Good luck with school!

Infinity Essence sad to say will never be built for production... they have the new M sedan which has a lot of styling cues taken-off the Essence concept but also (again ) sad to say doesn't really do a lot of justice and might even age very quickly... I believe Toyota has beaten Mr.Murray with their smartly designed iQ - 3 adults + 1 child and/or luggage, it's so smart Aston Martin and another automaker are going to build their own versions using this car as their basis.

So has anyone heard anything about this Infiniti Essence? Looks sweet!

Didn't know where to 'park' this question, sooo. here it is -

What topic do you want me to cover for this week's ShakeDown?

Option A - The NASCAR race [fairly] - Since it is a big LaborDay tradition.

Option B - A look @ the various types of cool race cars around the world [and a key fact about each one].

You got until Monday.  Then I need to write.
Thanks.

You'll be missed Annie. Maybe FLD should higher her on full time, no? Well you're no fun are you?

I've been feeling the go karts lately ever since that monster kart video.

Thanks to Annie....and good luck for the future!

while most people are perving on Annie I just want to say good job, good luck and hope you have a great time wherever you are headed. Also, FLD now needs a new hot girl for presenting. Just saying...

Nice intro Annie!  You did great, till Derek barged in on you.  What a jerk.  Hate to see you go, but good luck on your new adventure.  Where can I get that Subaru go-kart??!!?!  That's the shit!

*WOW!  Annie, what a cutie!  Why she gotta go? :(  Let's hope she goes to Autoweek. Poker face Natalie just doesn't really seem to have true sincere automotive enthusiasm. Where is she goin?  Why didn't you put her on before when she arrived??!  She's not only georgeous, she's terribly talented as well.  A real presenter at heart.  Annie, you did AMAZING for your first time!  Pat on the back, congrats!
