Mini mania is set to continue with the announcement of a new range of engines (developed and made at Hams Hall, in the UK), and perhaps another lightweight: a stripped-out
Cooper S. There's also talk of a station wagon concept, a 'woody'
Countryman estate.
Mitsubishi is hoping to raise some excitement, too, with its
Concept Sportback: its version of the Dodge
Caliber co-developed with Chrysler, and the basis of its all-new
Lancer C-sector range. And from
Nissan, there'll be the full production launch of the cute little
Micra C+C cabriolet, the
Note mini-MPV (sister model to the Renault Modus) and perhaps a concept, as well.

| Peugeot 20Cup |
Peugeot is to show a bizarre three-wheeled roadster concept called
20Cup, previewing its Le Mans racer, and a student-designed concept called Moovie, and will wheel out the V12-engined
907 seen in Paris again. There's also the elegant
407 Coupe and we could see something previewing the 207 supermini due to go on sale next year.
Porsche has a new coupe, too: the 291bhp
Cayman S, the hard-topped Boxster, and we could also see a concept previewing the four-doored
Panamera, recently confirmed for production.

| Renault Egeus |
Renault has a friendly-looking, family-sized 4x4 concept called
Egeus to show off, as well as a "concept" - damn near the real thing - for the new-generation
Renaultsport Clio, complete with rear diffuser. The latter complements the launch of the all-new mainstream
Clio range.
