If you're not moved by the pictures of the conceptual "P-Per" handset on Yanko Design, we seriously don't know what else would. Yeah, we know the name is weird, but it's actually not so bad if you say it aloud. This concept phone consists of just four layers of material: A printed circuit board, extruded polycarbonate, recycled titanium and a flexible haptic LED touchscreen that wraps around a 7-millimeter-thin handset. We want one already.

For the past year, we've seen various Mazda concepts expressing the Nagare, or flow, theme, including the Ryuga, Hakaze, and Taiki. But the Furai, shown at the 2008 Detroit auto show, gives real hints of Mazda's production plans. The Furai uses flow lines around the hood and in the side vents, but the wheels are mounted conventionally. Mazda says that the Furai is a study intended to bridge the gap between road and race cars.

When we had the new Cadillac CTS in for a review last year, it impressed us enough to give it an Editors' Choice.

In addition, it achieves more sporty lines by emphasizing the connection between the A-pillar and the hood. Overall, the car represents an uncompromising demonstration … Read more
