newVideoPlayer("Furai_Running.flv", 475, 376,""); You thought you had seen the last of the 2008 Mazda Furai concept didn't you? We certainly had enough coverage on the lusty concept that didn't make Popular Mechanics' Top 10 New Cars of Detroit list. What with the teaser photos , track video , live reveal shots , and super sneaky close ups - but no, we're not done yet. How about video of the ethanol powered Nagare-gasm running on the floor of the Detroit Auto Show? Would you like that? Yeah, we thought you would.

newVideoPlayer("SMARTfun.flv", 475, 376,""); British cheerleaders set the world record for most people crammed into a Smart car by cramming 14 lassies into the diminutive city car. Being the sporting gents we are, we decided to see how many burly Detroit Auto Show goers could fit, including Ben and our videographer Mark. The result? If you count them up we could only get five strapping young men inside (and it was hot as hell). Thanks to John and Mike from CreditSuisse for being good sports.

newVideoPlayer("HyundaiGenesis.flv ", 475, 376,""); Just in case you haven't had your fill of Hyundai's new V8-engine, rear-wheel drive world beater , here's some b-roll video of not one, not two, but three of them driving around a test track. And according to Genesis designer Joel Pieskowski, Hyundai's still trying to decide which set of braces they'd rather have decorating the grille of their new speed saloon -- and they're looking for your input. Your choices apparently are either the sideways white-picket or chain-link fence look. You retort in the comments below and they'll decide.

newVideoPlayer("ToyotaVenza_gawker.flv", 475, 376,""); The 2009 Toyota Venza Crossover Sedan was revealed live only moments ago and through the power of digital media, you can watch how it happened. It's a small wonder we got out of there alive since moments after the end of this video, the throngs of rabid Japanese photographers and journalists mobbed the stage for a Toyota Venza free for all. One of us almost lost a finger.

newVideoPlayer("NewDodgeRam.flv", 475, 376,""); As we told you earlier -- the point of the Chrysler press conference was the unveil of the new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 . But the reason everyone was really outside on a blustery n' cold overcast morning in Detroit was Dodge's running of the cows down Washington Ave. outside of Cobo Hall. Yes, we were there and yes, we caught it on tape and here it is for you to show -- without all of the trick truck action. Why? Because for Jason Vines Chrysler , sometimes the sizzle is the steak.

newVideoPlayer("furai_video.flv", 475, 376,""); The three rotor banshee planted in the 2009 Mazda Furai Concept is at full scream in this track time video at Leguna Seca. We're eagerly awaiting the unveil at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday, but it's a slim chance we'll see it blasting around like this on the frozen roads of Detroit. If you listen closely when the driver steps off the throttle, you can hear yourself wet your pants. galleryPost('mazdafuraidetroit', 6, '2009 Mazda Furai Preview Pictures');
