Will Jeep Go Urban with Treo? Will Japan Open to Imports? Is Ibuki Mazda's Next Miata? Will HSC Take the Place of the Acura NSX? What Was Hot And Not at the Tokyo Motor Show? Catch These Stories, Mustang Spy Shots And More on TheCarConnection.com

DETROIT, Oct. 27, 2003 -- The Tokyo Motor Show is known for wild and wacky concept vehicles -- like Toyota's PM pod car, which you wear, rather than drive. Then there's the Treo. With its stubby winglets and transparent front end, Jeep dubs it the "ultimate urban mobility vehicle." But does it actually have a future? You might be surprised at the answer. Find out more in this week's edition of TheCarConnection.com.

Find complete coverage of the Tokyo Motor Show, including a first look at the new Ibuki, Mazda's prototype for the next-generation Miata, and the striking Honda HSC which could return as the next Acura NSX. Discover the new Lexus look with the LF-S and LF-X. That's short for Lexus Future Sedan -- and Crossover -- so stay tuned.

Japanese manufacturers have captured a record share of the U.S. new car market. But the Big Three continue to run up against a rice wall in their efforts to crack the lucrative Japanese market. Get the story on TCC.

And while most folks were focused on Tokyo, TCC also visited the Sydney Show for more from the folks giving us the reborn GTO.

It's likely to be one of next year's hottest properties. Why wait to get a close-up look at the 2005 Ford Mustang. TCC's got the most detailed spy pics yet of both the production coupe and convertible, along with spy shots of the '05 BMW Z4 M Roadster.

Then take a test drive to see if you can get charged up by the Saturn Ion Quad Coupe. And join TCC's new columnists, Bill and Holly, as these Front Seat Drivers feast on the new VW Touareg.
