Fiat just released two more photos of its brand new C-Segment sedan, the Linea. Still though, the Italians aren't enlightening us with a full tech-spec release. Anyway, we've got a rear view of the Linea which, generally speaking looks, pretty good. PS: Is it me or does the rear end of the Linea envoke thoughts of the Peugeot 407 Sedan?

Tonight's Show host Jay Leno, a well known car-nut, revealed an impressive concept at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The Ecojet Supercar is powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine that runs on bio-diesel fuel producing 650Hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine sits in a modified Corvette Z06 hydroformed aluminium frame with aluminium and magnesium structural and chassis components. The vehicle's shell is an advanced construction of carbon fiber over Kevlar.

If you're thinking that the styling is very reminiscent to Cadillac's current design language, your absolutely right as the EcoJet Concept was conceived by GM's Advanced Design Studio in California. Via: Autoblog.com

Now this classic is a little bit more like it. Apart from the fleet of funky granny Lurcenes, Buick's SEMA stand includes a beautifully restored 1964 Electra 225 Convertible fitted with a GM Performance Parts ZZ572 crate V8 engine pumping out an orgasm inducing 620Hp.

Along with the 620Hp V8, the modified Electra 225 features a Hydra-matic Turbo 400 automatic transmission and a custom radiator that's outfitted with twin electric fans. The car rolls on chrome 20" Boss Motorsports "312" 5spoke wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The body and interior retain their factory-stock looks, wearing a new coat of factory white paint and re-chromed trim. The top is white, with a black boot cover. The interior also is black, with the vinyl upholstery re-done to a factory appearance.

Not one, not two but eleven custom Buick Lucernes are going on show at SEMA tomorrow. From the snazzy CXX Luxury Liner by Rick Bottom Custom Motor to the Low Rider Lucerne by RIDES Magazine, these are surely not your typical granny Buicks. But then again, I'm not sure who in their right mind would pay for a spiffed up a Buick Lucerne... Click on the pics to see which is which
