    If the success of the latest Kia Cerato Forte has caught the attention of the Japanese, they better be well prepared for the next assault in the form of the all new 2011 Hyundai Elantra (or Avante in our Singapore Market).
     
    The coupe-like roofline of the new Elantra echoes the design philosophy of the new Sonata. Expect the new Elantra to be powered by a new 1.6-litre gasoline direct injection engine, mated to the group's latest six-speed automatic transmission.
     
    Certain Japanese 1.6-litre (or even 2.0-litre) models still employ a four-speed automatic gearbox. I hope that the rise of the Koreans will give them a wake up call.

    Here's the official brochure of the new Honda CR-Z, hailed as the successor to the CRX of the late 1980s.
     
    The brochure confirms that the CR-Z's hybrid drivetrain will comprise of a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol unit and an electric motor, with power being transferred to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. The petrol engine delivers an output of 113bhp at 6,000rpm and a peak torque of 145Nm at 4,800 rpm. The electric motor, on the other hand, delivers 13.4bhp at 1,500rpm and 78Nm at 1,000rpm.
     
    As a result, the CR-Z performs the century sprint in a rather relaxed timing of 9.7 seconds. The published fuel consumption is 25.0km/L. Those who are expecting the CR-Z to be a CRX replacement would be disappointed with the performance of the car. Nonetheless, this is the most stylish hybrid car to date.

    This is what happens to a car when its owner has too much money and hails from the land of Ricola sweets.
     
    The Mclaren SLR alone costs a bomb, US$495,000 to be exact. This incredibly garish, pimped out SLR on the other hand costs US$4.5 million on top of the base price because of its 24 carat gold accents. It is all thanks to Swiss designer Ueli Anliker. The Mclaren now looks more like a Pussycat Doll's handbag than a car..

     

     
    Check out the plush gold seats and trim.. This car has more bling than Snoop Dog and Jay Z combined. Its just hideous! The potential best-Mercedes-of-all-time SLR has been catastrophically transformed into an orgy of red and gold, I cringe at the sight of it.
     

     
    From Classic Silver...
     

     
    to Ridiculous Red.
     
    And when you look at the man behind the 'Mclaren SLR 999', you'd understand why its all red and gold.. He probably just wanted to match his red jeans and his gal's gold outfit.
     
    No wonder the Swiss haven't invented a car.
