For starters, the car’s overall form and style was galvanized by the Corolla-based AE86 sports coupe that was unveiled within the 80s. The FT-86 goes to be a compact rear-wheel-drive sports coupe with an aerodynamic body that rides low to the bottom to boost handling and permit it to chop through the air with ease.

If you were eyeing one of Lexus' newest models, the Japanese automaker has just announced pricing for the brand-new 2013 GS 450h and the updated 2013 RX 350, 450h and 450h F Sport.

We'll start with the 2013 GS 450h hybrid sedan that delivers a total system output of 338-horsepower, while achieving 29 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined. It will arrive in Lexus' U.S. showrooms in May with a base MSRP of $58,950 (excluding a processing and handling fee of $875), which is unchanged from the model it replaces.

The refreshed RX series enters the 2013 model year with a fresh face sporting the brand's new signature 'Spindle' grille, some subtle interior tweaks and a new F Sport variant featuring an appearance package, 19-inch wheels, paddle shifters and a sport-tuned suspension with performance dampers.

As impossible as it may seem for us mere mortals, even one-off special creations can quickly become mundane for extremely wealthy individuals.

Rolls-Royce collector Roland Hall from Britain, custom ordered the Hyperion from Pininfarina back in 2008 only to put the car up for sale a year later for €4.5 million (roughly US$6 million at today's exchange rates).

We're not aware if the car was actually sold at the time, but we re-discovered the Rolls Royce Hyperion listed for sale for an undisclosed price at an Abu Dhabi dealership.

Named after Hyperion, one of the Titans of Greek mythology, the convertible model was designed by Jason Castriota of former Saab fame and built by the Special Projects division of Pininfarina.

It is based on the running gear of the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe with power coming from the British model's 6.75-liter V12 engine.

Among other changes, the rear seats were removed and the driving position was pushed back 400mm back. With the exception of the doors that were crafted out of solid wood, the rest of the body is made of carbon fiber.

A test mule of the next generation of Infiniti's highest volume line, the G series, was nabbed by our spy photographers taking a rest at a parking lot in Northern Europe.

While these pictures don't tell us much about the new G sedan other than that it will have wider front and rear tracks, the fact that our photographers told us that the prototype was seen going in and out of a known Mercedes test facility, proves that the cooperation between Daimler and the Renault-Nissan Alliance is in full swing.

It is possible that one of the test mules is wearing one of Mercedes-Benz' diesel engines as this is something the two companies have already confirmed.

We still don't know if Infiniti will continue the development of its famed VQ series of V6 engines or if the company will take a look at the Mercedes-Benz's parts bin for a new six-cylinder gasoline unit.

As for the design, we can only speculate, but if you look at Infiniti's new production JX crossover and its recent concept models like the LE compact sedan and the Emerg-E, you will find some clues to as what styling elements will be used on the sedan such as the creased beltline and the pinched front grille.

As pointed out in the video by former F1 driver and commentator Martin Brundle, it's been a long time since Jaguar had a new two-seater sports car in its range – more than 50 years if you start counting from the presentation of the legendary E-Type in 1961, around 20 years if you take into consideration the limited production XJR-15 and XJ220 supercars.

Jaguar's new proposal goes by the name F-Type and it is based on last year's warmly received C-X16 concept coupe. Even though it will launch as a roadster model, a coupe will follow later on.

As we understand it, the F-Type will be positioned somewhere between the Porsche Boxster/Cayman and the 911 Coupe/Convertible providing Jaguar with a rival for both models.

Jaguar tells us that the F-Type will use a lightweight aluminum structure and that it will launch with "a range of petrol engines, including a new powerplant family", by which it probably means one or more V6 units.

After giving us the first images of the prototype model earlier this week, Jaguar also released a video of the F-Type, which you can watch below the jump.

As far as the media is concerned, the 2012 New York International Auto Show ended on Thursday, which was the last press day of the event. The show, of course, continues for the public until April 15.

Now, before we close our coverage of the event, we'd like to point you to our gallery after the jump where you'll find the customary photos of some of the beautiful faces from the show. Hope you enjoy.

Some designers like their cars to be complex and overly aggressive in their details while others prefer to keep things sleek and simple.

This Aston Martin V8 Vantage concept, which was sent to Carscoop by independent designer Narcis Mares, is one of those cars we would personally catalogue in the second group.

Mares says he drew his inspiration from several Aston Martins ranging from the British brand's brutish 1980s models to the more contemporary V12 Vanquish and V8 Vantage coupes, though we must say that we also see a hint of BMW Z4 on the supercar concept's profile.

Overall, we find Mares' Aston Martin V8 Vantage to be a handsome concept and are especially fond of the super clean and minimalistic front- and rear-end designs.

Check out the rest of the photos below and then head over to the comments section to tell us what you think of the study.

Chevrolet has introduced a brand new Impala at the 2012 New York Auto Show, further advancing the total transformation of the automaker’s passenger car lineup with technologically advanced and fuel efficient models.
In fact, with the introduction of the new Impala, which comes on the market next year as a 2014 model, Chevrolet has revamped nearly every passenger car in its lineup over the past two years.

The car adopts Chevy’s new styling language, which also appears on the 2013 Traverse and will soon feature on more models wearing the bowtie.

Under the rather pretty sheet metal is a stretched Epsilon II platform, the same front-wheel drive platform underpinning the 2013 Cadillac XTS and in shorter form resides under the Buick Regal and LaCrosse as well as the latest Chevy Malibu.

The use of the flexible platform means designers were able to fit a variety of engines to the Impala, including a range-topping 3.6-liter V-6 with 303 horsepower, a base 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 195 horsepower, and a mid-spec 2.4-liter unit matched with GM’s eAssist supplementary electric motor and rated at 182 horsepower.

All engines feature direct-injection technology and come matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. The most fuel-efficient is expected to be the eAssist model, which Chevy claims will net up to 35 mpg on the highway.

The Impala nameplate was introduced in 1958 and has been one of Chevy’s best-selling passenger cars for decades. The new 2014 model is the 10th generation of the Impala and should continue to build on the nameplate’s strong heritage. It goes on sale early next year, and unlike the current model this one will be built alongside the Volt and Malibu at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck manufacturing plant.
