Mercedes SLK (R172)

the first styling packages for the new third-generation 2012 Mercedes SLK (R172).

Dubbed the Accurian RS, the package features a front lip spoiler and extended side skirts with optional LED lighting units. Out back, there's a revised rear apron, a new diffuser, a trunk-mounted spoiler and a four-tailpipe sport exhaust system. Other goodies include 19-inch alloy wheels and lowering springs which reduce the ride height by 25mm.

Last but not least, the tuner also offers a roof lowering module which enables the hardtop to be operated at speeds up to 60 km/h (37 mph).

Toyota Prius

While it might be well-known that U.S. automakers mocked Toyota and their “crazy” hybrid, secretly the folks at Toyota also though it would never catch on.
Unfortunately the design of the 2010 Prius is mostly indistinguishable from the ’09 model, which is a shame because Toyota has done a lot to improve the car. In fact, Toyota is taking a big step with this third-gen platform, in an attempt at moving it from a niche market science project to a mainstream auto.

To do this, the 2010 Prius has two very different sides to it. In order to appeal to a larger audience Toyota is making it easier to use while offering plenty of high-tech gadgets that will draw in up-market customers. And to keep the interest of past Prius owners and environmentally responsible folks, the 2010 Prius gets more fuel economy than ever.
