Lincoln C Concept the First Look
Forget the Continentals of your past, or the big, long rear-drive concepts of the early ’00s. While BMW has proven that rear-wheel-drive c-segment size luxury works, with its 1 Series, Lincoln is turning next to the 2011 Ford Focus’ platform for post-global warming luxury.

Toyota 1/X
Toyota has nine vehicles, indicating the concept in the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, some of whom have seen earlier, while others, such as 1 / X, we did not. Toyota mini-states in its press release that the name of this approach is pronounced “1/Xth”, as in the car weighs 1/Xth weight of vehicles of comparable size. Carmaker Prius uses its own as a basis for comparison, and 1 / X weighs about one-third of this hybrid, or only 420 kilograms. That’s 926 pounds. People. Featherweight light was made possible through extensive use of carbon fibre under the vehicle that keeps the weight down, but seemed to be strong enough to protect the driver and passengers in an accident.
