Tesla will show us the Model X prototype by the end of the year

Tesla revealed plans to end production of the Tesla Roadster this December in a filing that it submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. However, the remaining inventory of Tesla Roadsters will continue to sell in the first half of 2012. Tesla also said that it will unveil a prototype of the Model X crossover by the end of 2011, according to InsideLine. Tesla said that the Model X is functional like a minivan but will have the appeal of a sports-utility vehicle.

It also said that the electric powertrain designed for the Tesla Roadster offers the “foundational technology for the Model S, the Model X and for electric powertrain components” that Tesla has “has begun selling to Daimler and its affiliates that (Tesla) intends to sell to Toyota." In late 2010, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the Model X, a battery-powered crossover, will be introduced in 2014 – roughly two years after the midsize Model S sedan is scheduled to be launched in the middle of 2012. Last summer, Tesla told investors (before the IPO) that it plans to make four derivatives from the Model S platform. The midsize sedan is the initial car.

A convertible, a van, and a crossover/SUV will follow. Tesla implies in its latest SEC filing that the Model X is the product of combining plans for the van and the crossover. The filing also states that Tesla needs funds to develop the Model X and so it plans to offer 5.3 million shares more to the public. Tesla has shipped about 1,650 Tesla Roadsters to over 31 countries. With regards to the Model S sedan, Tesla said that several “drivable prototypes” have already been completed and that deliveries will start in mid-2012. [via - 4wheelsnews]

Chevrolet to introduce Captiva SUV in Japan in an attempt to boost sales

It appears that Chevrolet has some big plans for he Japanese market as it is returning to Japan with its first SUV in three years. The American manufacturer is betting on the mid-sized Captiva in order to extend the brand’s image beyond sports cars and boost its sales on the market. According to Automotive News, the three-row, seven-seat Chevrolet Captiva will go on sale in Japan on July 30. The model was introduced in Europe this spring and it was largely engineered by GM’s South Korea’s unit.

The Japanese version will also be manufactured in South Korea, as the vehicle uses the same Theta platform found on cars such as Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac SRX. The Chevrolet Captiva will only be offered in a top-trim package and pricing will start at ¥3.54 million (or $43,300), which means the same level as the car offered by rivals such as the Toyota Vanguard and Mitsubishi Outlander.

For those who don’t know, the Chevrolet brand is known in Japan for cars such as the Corvette and Camaro, but the American brand want to expand its lineup and improve sales with new models. The last SUV offered by Chevrolet on the Japanese market was the TrailBlazer, back in 2008. [via - 4wheelsnews]

Triumph Bonneville

Triumph Bonneville is the name given to three motorcycle models from this notable British motorcycle marque. It is named after the Bonneville Salt Flats in the state of Utah, USA, where Triumph and other motorcycle companies made attempts on the world motorcycle speed records. All share a parallel-twin four-stroke engine configuration. The current version, produced since 2001 by the modern successor of the original company, is a completely redesigned and re-engineered evolution of the original design.

Since the arrival of the current 'Hinckley Bonneville' (produced in Hinckley), the earlier T120 and T140 (produced in Meriden) have been referred to as 'Meriden Bonnevilles', to more easily distinguish between the versions.
