What's in our Car Town garage today?

2005 Jeep Hurricane Concept

Revealed at the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, this cross-eyed curiosity during the age of the Daimler-Chrysler not only can approach and climb a 64-degree angle, but the Hurricane Concept is powered by not one but TWO 5.7L Hemi engines, one above the front axle and one above the rear axle! With two engines kicked in, total power output is 670HP and torque output is a hefty 1000Nm, resulting to a 0-60 time of under five seconds.

For added oddity, the Clubman has this bi-parting rear doors known as Splitdoors and a pair of bi-parting side doors known as the Clubdoor. This special door is located on the passenger side of the car...

2009 Honda Fit

Of course, it's a Honda and it was notoriously a favorite among the "boy racer" scene and annoyingly, most Honda owners love to spend most of their cash on applying some modifications to make some noise in the neighborhood. For the Honda Fit, however, this is a bit more than that because with an improved ride and handling thanks to its reworked chassis and more rigid bodywork, the Fit from Honda sure knows how to keep itself dandy with ease...
