Mazda Unveils the Ryuga Concept
Ryuga(pronounced: ree-yoo-ga) builds on Mazda’s concept of flow. Nagare - Japanese for “flow” - debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November and introduced the company’s new design future. Japanese for “gracious flow,” Ryuga will reflect a higher level of sophistication through the use of rich fabrics, engineered fits and hidden details.

January 07, 2007, 08:00:54 am The breaking news clip of GMs about the Camero was a waste of time 3 sec of the car and rest was bullshit with some stupid people who I do not care about
The "star" factor who really cares about them
January 07, 2007, 09:03:55 am You must have a long telephoto lens to get the "REVEALS" from there...sure beats having to risk Hobo Hall tho'..............

January 08, 2007, 10:59:57 am The new Accord coupe looks an awful lot like the G35 or Altima Coupe to me.

January 08, 2007, 03:11:02 pm That accord coupe looks horribly horribly like it has a dodge nose

January 08, 2007, 04:31:27 pm Wing, something I don't see as much from other sites - or have difficulty finding - are just shots from the show itself. Exhibit displays or cars on the floor that aren't necessarily debuts but interesting nevertheless. Maybe I'm alone in my interest, thinking it cool - sorta like a virtual walk-thru the show when you can't be there in person.

C'mon, a digital camcorder, load the file up to the server, and link to the file. It's not pretty, but it could work for the timeframe mentioned.
January 08, 2007, 07:35:30 pm Cameras were suppose to be banned this year....
I don't have one with me because of that, I'll take a photo album and turn on the slideshow feature
We'll I'll try, no promises.
January 08, 2007, 08:53:02 pm
You find? Not me, but man I'd love that have either one!
I can kind of see similarities in the side profile, but otherwise I'd say they look different. Hona being the better looking of the two IMO. The Altima coupe needs some side skirts, then it'll look much better.
January 09, 2007, 05:41:22 pm Some great info and photos now...
