display technology available as broadly as possible to end-consumers via

what is electrowetting? If Liquavista is to be believed, it’s a
technology with all the benefits of LCD, but with up to four times the
optical performance. Read More

Despite the widely publicized December
pre-announcement, Mini still managed to make a splash with the debut of
its Moke-inspired Beachcomber Concept
at the 2010 NAIAS earlier today. In the flesh the compact SUV Concept
looks like a whole lotta fun - no roof, no doors and some clever details
to add to its beach-going credentials such as run-flat tires, a
rear-mounted spare wheel compartment that's really a lockable storage
space and a dedicated case for cycling and swimming goggles between the
rear seats. Gizmag was on the scene in Detroit to snap these pics, and yes, that is a guy in a shark suit behind the wheel. Read More

By Jeff Salton

light good handling chassis … but the package is integrated and that’s
what makes the Honda CR-Z hot, hot, hot! We are very impressed! Read More
