New BMW Z4
Yesterday, we saw the
2010 BMW Z4 from the
front 3/4. Now, thanks to a leaked catalog rendering, we can see it from the rear. Visible for the first time are its folding hardtop and shapely haunches. The more we see of the
new BMW Z4, the more we like it. [via

Since Nissan unceremoniously removed itself from the 2009
Detroit Auto Show last month, we've wondered just how they planned to unveil the
Nissan NV2500 concept scheduled to debut there. Now we know. We're here at Nissan's Farmington Hills, MI design facility where the curtain was just publicly dropped on the heavy duty industrial-style truck van hybrid which features a fully mobile office and enclosed cargo area.
