Fornasari Thor UDV

Yet Fornasari shows up at every Geneva auto show, filling its floor space with outlandish vehicles, such as an SUV resembling a yacht tender. At the 2011 Geneva auto show, Fornasari put forth its wildest concept yet, a toy for very big boys, the Thor UDV.This vehicle, clad in bright orange bodywork, is hard not to notice. According to Fornasari, it came out of the company's Tactical Vehicles Group, and was developed in conjunction with Astro Bionix, an Austrian company that provides industrial emergency services, according to its Web site, and uses the slogan Air - Land - Sea - Space.

New Compact Buick Sedan Revealed in China

This is the Buick Excelle GT, a new model for the Chinese market that will go on sale shortly. Look famliar? It should. This is the new small sedan from Buick that was previewed late last year at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show.

In China, the Excelle GT will offer either a base four-cylinder with 138-horsepower or a turbocharged, 1.6-liter with 181-horsepower. Good chance the U.S. version will stick with the latter only. Expect to see it on sale here early next year.
