Honda S660 Concept sports car for Tokyo Motor Show 2013

Honda has announced its line-up for the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show –　and right at the top of the billing is this tiny but mighty S660 Concept roadster.

WIN the last ever Volvo C30 on Twitter

The last ever Volvo C30 (pictured) is up for grabs in a Twitter competition The Volvo C30 has only been with us for seven years, but it’s made its mark. Perhaps the highest profile outing for the C30 was with a starring role in the Twilight films, which exposed the C30 to a very non-Volvo demographic, and made the C30 almost cool. But with Volvo’s new V40 hitting the roads, Volvo revealed they were ending production of the C30 and now they’ve decided they’re going to give away the very last C30 – an R-Design model with Polestar upgrades and an Ice White paint job – in a Twitter competition starting on 13th June.

All of that green doesn't come inexpensive--or easy.
