Electric Kia Soul planned for 2014

Kia has revealed that they will offer a battery electric version of the next generation Kia Soul when it arrives in 2014. Hyundai may have seen the light and decided the future for cars lies with hydrogen fuel cell cars and not battery electric cars, but sister company Kia thinks differently. It seems an odd polarity for the Korean siblings to take different routes to the future of powertrains for cars, but perhaps it’s just a case of hedging bets rather than an inability by Kia to see how impractical the BEV is as a replacement for a normal ICE car?

2013 Dodge Dart to start at $16,790

Pricing for the 2013 Dodge Dart was released on Monday via a status update on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page. Below we've listed prices for five Dart trim levels, but so far, Dodge is keeping quiet about rumors of a high-performance SRT version: -- Dodge Dart SE: $16,790 -- Dodge Dart SXT: $18,790 -- Dodge Dart Rallye: $19,790 -- Dodge Dart Limited: $20,790 -- Dodge Dart R/T: $23,290 The Dodge Dart is expected to be in dealer showrooms in June, but you'll have to wait until the third quarter if you have your heart set on the R/T version. If we hear anything regarding the SRT, we'll let you know.

Concept Car of the Week: Chevrolet Express (1987)

A fantastic selection of concept cars from the ‘80s were featured in Back to the Future II such as the Pontiac Pursuit, the Ford Probe or the Saab EV-1, but my personal favorite was the Chevrolet Express that almost ran over Marty upon his arrival in the year 2015. Before being a movie extra, the Express was presented in 1987 as another attempt from GM to adapt aircraft engineering to automotive requirements. GM had been experimenting with gas turbines for more than 20 years, dating back to the 370hp XP-21 Firebird from 1954, but that concept was quite primitive compared to its younger brother.
