I don’t often use the AutoCAD Text Window but hit F2 and mouse wheeled up & down before remembering…
I blame swapping between lots of app’s and not an addled mind!

Frankfurt Show Preview: Peugeot’s HX1 Hybrid4 MPV Concept for Six
Frankfurt Show Preview: Peugeot’s HX1 Hybrid4 MPV Concept for Six: 
With the Frankfurt Motor Show just around the corner, Peugeot decided to release the first official photos of the HX1, a six-seater MPV concept propelled by a diesel-electric powertrain.
With the Frankfurt Motor Show just around the corner, Peugeot decided to release the first official photos of the HX1, a six-seater MPV concept propelled by a diesel-electric powertrain.
On the outside, the aerodynamically optimized HX1 (Cd 0.28) adopts the company’s new “floating” front grille that we've already seen on the 508.
One of the concepts unique features are the seven-spoke alloy wheels that resemble turbine blades when stationary, while when on the move, they open up to form a flat surface for better aerodynamic performance. For the same purpose, a spoiler and two side skirts fitted at the top of the tailgate deploy above 100 km/h (62 mph).

2012 Ford Explorer EcoBoost: Probing the Limits of EcoBoost
2012 Ford Explorer EcoBoost: Probing the Limits of EcoBoost:
Ford’s EcoBoost cocktail proves not quite as tasty in the Explorer.
Ford has pledged to make its downsized, turbocharged, direct-injection EcoBoost motors available as options in 90 percent of its American product line by 2013. So far, the technology cocktail has been served up in the Taurus SHO and Flex, as well as the Lincoln MKT and MKS. EcoBoost pulled off perhaps its greatest upset in the F-150, with the mighty twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 being spec’d in 41 percent of all F-150s sold here at Ford’s last count. Now, the Edge and Explorer have bellied up to the EcoBoost bar. The two crossovers tie for the honor of being the first Blue Oval products in the U.S. to offer the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder—but only on models with front-wheel drive.

2012 Ford Edge 2.0-Liter EcoBoost First Drive: Turbocharged Four-Cylinder, 30 mpg Highway
2012 Ford Edge 2.0-Liter EcoBoost First Drive: Turbocharged Four-Cylinder, 30 mpg Highway:
A turbocharged four-cylinder aims to give this crossover the edge.
Americans like big stuff. We like big houses, big helpings of food, and big cars with big honkin’ engines. But no one—anywhere—likes big fuel bills, and with a gallon of gas here costing much more than the loose change found in our big, cushy couches, something has to give. Forced induction paired with smaller displacement is the favorite current strategy to solve that Catch-22, ostensibly offering efficiency improvements with no loss in performance. Companies are buying in with fervor, and Ford’s effort now includes the 2012 Edge and its new 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder.

Production Mini Paceman Confirmed (That’s the Three-Door Countryman)
Production Mini Paceman Confirmed (That’s the Three-Door Countryman):
Mini chief Kay Segler has confirmed that the Mini Paceman concept, a three-door derivative of the five-door Countryman, will go into production. The series-production model will be built at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, alongside the Countryman and share its architecture and powertrain. The Paceman might still get another name, but it will look almost exactly like the concept. Expect it at dealers as a 2013 or 2014 model.
Before the Paceman reaches dealers, though, the production Mini Roadster, the second of the so-called “Oxford twins” after the Coupe, will be unveiled in either Detroit or Geneva in early 2012.

Although Peugeot had given us a first peek at the 508 RXH in July, the Frankfurt Motor Show will mark the crossover’s world premiere.
Based on the estate version of the 508, the RXH follows in the lines of the Audi Allroad and Volvo XC70 featuring a unique front end, flared wheel arches, and of course, higher-riding suspension along with 18-inch wheels and wider tracks.
