Higher Breed
2006-12-02 15:55:01 Guys love cars. I love cars that aren't here yet, does that make me a man in waiting. Thanks to the good guys over at Gizmodo I can always find the latest future tense auto-lust.Our hybrid fetish lives on, especially for the Citroen C-Metisse Diesel Hybrid Sports Car that'll be rolled out at this year's International Motor Show in Paris. This four-door rocket is powered by a 205hp diesel V-6 engine and two electric motors, one on each rear wheel. That combo delivers pretty good numbers, too: 0-to-62 mph in 6.2 seconds at a top speed of 155mph, all the while sipping the fuel at just 42 miles per gallon.While we probably won't be seeing a car like this on these shores or anywhere else anytime soon?yeah, it's a concept car?these design exercises will likely bear fruit somewhere, somehow. Plus, we're really digging those four gull-wing doors, inviting a quartet of lucky riders to jump in and hit the triple miles-per-hour digits. Someday. ?

Thicke is the intellegent man's Timberlake
2006-12-02 15:55:01 It is the long awaited and in my camp greatly debated release. But I'm glad it's here. R&B has taken a dive and looks like it's down for the count. Thicke comes along in the blue-eyed soul vain and brings the sweet, sultry, under appreciated heat. It's really good music, even if it often feels like a subcategory to "real" soul. This effort pushes just enough of the pop buttons to give it a wider appeal. Although a little less rocky turn funky than the previous releases Robin definitely put it down on this one. He has joined forces with Pharrell Williams of the Star Track Label to make it all smoothly happen. Thicke is found "mercin'" (see throwing down) with the likes of Lil Wayne and Mary J. Blige and standing his ground. Set your phasers to chill and enjoy this one.modern man More About: Timberlake , Intel , Elle , Berl , Timber
Best phone concept yet.
2006-12-02 15:55:01 Nokia is taking our gadget-fondling addiction one step further with its concept Aeon phone. The cell phone ditches a traditional keypad for a touchscreen display you can caress with your delicate fingers. It's different than Nokia's previous keyless phone and seems like it'd make less of a bulk in your front pocket than Synaptics' Onyx phone we wrote about last week. The Aeon is still a concept phone, however, so Apple still has time to steal their thunder with an iPhone of their own More About: Best , Once , Concept
Invisible bling!
2006-12-02 15:55:01 Just when you thought you had seen it all... well you won't be seeing this either. In the future, there will be a way to convert our cars into hovercrafts, just so we could sail along smoothly down the main drags of our respective cities. Short of that, we'll take some 100 percent transparent two-inch thick polycarbonate wheels for our rides, like the ones a few bloggers just spied at this year's SEMA show, going on this week in Las Vegas. These amazingly sexy D'Vinci Forgiato Radurra wheels cost a cool $2,000, which will buy you a single 20-, 22-, or 24- inch wheel. Four of these will make you the coolest kid in town, for sure.Link above. More About: Visi , Bling , Invisible , Visible

VW gets a second wind
2006-12-02 15:55:01 Most early VW's were named after winds like the Golf and Sirrocco, and now they've brewed up a new powerful one.Even in colour, with its Viper Green metallic paint, the Iroc harks back to the Scirocco, where this exact shade was available in the 1976 model range. The Iroc has distinctive dimensions, with a very long roof and steeply sloping rear, which not only gives it an aggressive and sporting appearance, it also liberates space in the back for two adults plus luggage. The design of the Iroc is distinctive and eye-catching. It uses a Volkswagen 'face' which is not yet common to other vehicles in the range, though the honeycomb-shaped structure of the radiator grille is undoubtedly a link to the Golf GTI. Another notable feature is the lack of obvious A pillars, due to the wide windscreen which overlaps them at the front. Inside, the Iroc has four seats, as well as a spacious boot of 300 litres, which can be increased if the rear seats are folded down. Despite this practicali... More About: Wind , Second , Gets , Econ
