As far as the Kia Soul urban crossover is concerned, awards and citations keep on coming forward. Already named the Best Hatchback of 2010, Kia Soul is now among the finalists for the World Car of the Year and the World Car Design of the Year Awards.
Without the two awards in the bag yet, the Kia Soul has already amassed a total of 30 awards and accolades including the red dot Design Award and Top Recommended vehicle for 2010. And should it bag these two awards as well, it will not be entirely surprising!

The image you see may look like a cocoon or something but it is really a BMW Hydrogen-powered race car. Crazy as it may look, this was a project of Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. The project was fully backed by BMW to highlight the connection between cars and climate change.
The project titled “Your Mobile Expectations” was part of BMW’s Art Car Series that invites artists to modify their luxury cars. It took 3 years to develop and a lot of hard work which included taking out the body of the BMW H2. 2,000 liters of water were sprayed over a skin of steel mesh and reflective metal which formed the base of the new ice-looking BMW.

Despite losing one of their prized and controversial auto designers in the industry today, the BMW continues to hum. Designs may not necessarily be the marquee of most BMW vehicles today but apparently expect them to continue trying.
Such should be the case of the budding new BMW concept called the BMW S.X. concept, a brainchild of lulian Bimbu, a Milan design student. The BMW S.X. projects a futuristic look, something we see evolving from most cars in the market today.
Racy and certainly something futuristic, this car design may yet pass the BMW standards to make them stand out from the other car manufacturers which ironically seem to be carrying the same design. The only thing is who will come first, a benchmark that erases the tag of a copycat once their new cars come out in the market.
