It debuted at the Tokyo motor show last October. Now, the BMW 1-Series concept that lit a magnesium fire in our naughty bits is coming to Chicago. Officially, it's the BMW Concept 1-Series tii ; unofficially, it's several shades of Teutonic radness. Let me count the ways: It recalls the heady days of mid-period BMW road racing, evokes the original (E30) M3 and cribs its halo from the early '70s BMW 2002 tii. Sure, we found out last week one can accessorize one's way into a similar vee-hickle , but it's not quite this. Now we may even find out what the concept has under the hood. Special thanks to the Quandt family for stringing us along that much further.

Well, Suzuki seems like they're pushing for some school yard respect. Motor Authority is spreading a rumor that the company will be coming at us at either the New York Auto Show or Chicago Auto Show with a revised Suzuki Kizashi. We first saw the original Kizashi at the Frankfurt Auto Show and it was the stuff dreams are made of then. This time, it seems the car will more closely resemble the kind of thing people might actually drive, telegraphing a possible production model. The new concept could be equipped with a V8, as well as all wheel drive, replacing the hybridized four cylinder in the older concept. That's the kind of revision we can get behind.

Everyone had so much fun with the Honda Pilot Sketch v. Reality that we thought we'd look at the production Challenger SRT8 leaked photos and the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 concept car to see what's changed, what's stayed the same and what we have to look forward to at the Chicago Auto Show . 1. CROSSHAIRS GRILLE &ndash The most obvious immediate change is the concept's crosshairs grille, which gets dropped in favor of a blacked-out mesh job similar to that found on the original Challengers. 2. B-PILLAR &ndash The B-pillar seems to exist on the production model, though small and black. 3. FRONT FENDER &ndash Though more pronounced on the silver SRT8 seen testing , there's a small lip spoiler on the edge of the front fender that doesn't appear to be on the concept version. 4. WHEELS & TIRES &ndash Unfortunately, the production model might have treads on the tires as opposed to the nearly treadless slicks on the concept version. 5. REAR LIGHTBAR...
