    Honda sweeps honors at Detroit auto show

    Sun Jan 8, 12:26 PM ET

    DETROIT - Honda Motor Corp. swept the top honors at the Detroit auto show on Sunday as its all-new Civic and first-ever pickup, the Ridgeline, were voted car and truck of the year by a panel of automotive writers.

    Some pics of it.

    the one thing i'm liking is that most concept cars are starting to more closely represent what the production car will look like with modern manufacturing.

    another thing i have to ask is: does this really surpise you guys? honda has really needed some real boost in this area, and they got it.

    The FXX is a limited-edition, $1.8 million track car that Ferrari is offering about thirty current owners--called Client Test Drivers and selected via an application process--giving them the opportunity to play Michael Schumacher (although perhaps in his pre-2005 form). This is Ferrari's fastest-ever production car, using an 800-plus-hp, 6.2-liter version of the Enzo's 660-hp, 6.0-liter V-12. With 40 percent more downforce than an Enzo and slick Bridgestone tires, the owners likely will need Ferrari's included driver training before embarking on the fourteen-event track-day series that is also part of the FXX package. The breathed-on Enzo is not homologated for street use, by the way. According to Ferrari, FXX owners "will actually be joining Team Ferrari." Well, um, yes, we suppose so, although we don't know of many billionaires whose driving skills match those of Scuderia Ferrari's current drivers, including Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, and Luca Badoer.

    Dereck, you're a genius. Now I remember hearing about it, now that the FXX name was brought up. God, what a vehicle.

    this is i heard with the new camaro is that they were gonna stop with any thing with the Zeta platform that was supposta come out in 2007

    a guy named bob lutz had to say that anything based on the zeta platform was going to be canceled
    he aso mentioned that there canceling the hummer H2 MCE and tyhe GMT361/371 right hand drive and delaying the gmt276 caddy SRX

    so the 2007 camaro is dead and might take a few years for the camaro to come back
