Inside, a complete entertainment system and high-quality sound system completes the package.\u003cbr/\u003eGene Brown, Vice President of Marketing, said Suzuki's 'concept' car is a special-order vehicle, with exaggerated features.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The two key ideas of XL-7 that are accentuated here are very progressive styling of the vehicle brought to life with a lot of theatre touches like theatre lighting in this vehicle and also our first ever in-vehicle entertainment system. And of course in this case we've taken the entertainment system to a greater extreme with the Flix and a big 50-inch high res (resolution) screen,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eGeneral Motors had an entirely different concept in mind with the launch of their triplets: three new models of mini, fuel efficient cars. \u003cbr/\u003eHoping to boost its presence in the ultra-small car market, the company chose the Auto Show to unveil a trio of new Chevrolet mini car concept vehicles designed to grab the attention of young car buyers in urban markets around the world.\u003cbr/\u003eThe cars, launched with a rock and roll beat and dancers, are called the Beat, a front-wheel drive three-door hatchback powered by a 1.2-litre turbo charged gasoline engine; the Groove, a retro looking front-wheel drive car with a 1-litre diesel engine; and the Trax an 'urban crossover' with an all-wheel-drive system and a 1-litre gas engine.\u003cbr/\u003eThe cars are not yet in production.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a novel, interactive move, consumers will have a say in which of those cars eventually hits dealer lots by voting for their favourite model on a GM Web site. \u003cbr/\u003eWhile the vote won't be the final determination on which car is produced, company officials will take it into account when making their decision, they said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe cars are the first product of what GM is calling its minicar \"homeroom,\" which is a collaboration between GM and Daewoo, as David Lyon, General Motors Executive Director of Design for Asia-Pacific, explained.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is the centre for expertise for mini cars for General Motors, and we wanted to look at, well maybe if we created small cars, mini cars, more compelling that people would buy it for some other reason than price and fuel economy. They'll buy it because they love the car, because the image is right for them, it has the right mood and character, and they get an inexpensive car with great fuel economy kind of along for the ride,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eGM hopes the vehicles also could give the world's largest automaker a bigger foothold in the growing mini car market, which is largely dominated by the Japanese automakers. \u003cbr/\u003eThe triplets might sell for as low as 10 thousand US dollars. \u003cbr/\u003eGM also hopes the new vehicles will boost Chevrolet's presence as a global brand and plans to market them in urban markets around the world, where mini cars already enjoy greater popularity.\u003cbr/\u003eToyota was also on the floor this year, the tenth anniversary of its hybrid.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well, we'll be introducing, as I said, the hybrid in more and more of our models,\" J.C. Chitwood, Senior Strategic Planner for Toyota Advanced Technologies, explained. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We also believe that hybrid technology can be combined with different fuel sources so whether in the future that's biodiesel or ethanol or fuel cell, that the addition of the Hybrid technology increases the efficiency of whatever you put it with,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 2007 New York International Automobile Show opens to the public on Friday, April 6th and runs until April 15th at the Jacob K.
