America Finally Gets it Right

With this new 2011 Dodge Durango. Granted, this is the Alpha Blog, where all things are Alpha. And many people wouldn't necessarily think Durango when they think Alpha, but look out boy, America's times they's a changing.

Check out the new 2011 Dodge SUV-

Goetz Brothers

Kevin and Michael Goetz work harmoniously together, both investing the same visual style and narrative direction into each project. “It all starts with preparation. Filmmaking is a collaborative art-- all we do is take that collaboration and run with it.” With the adage two heads are stronger than one, the Brothers Goetz have been directing commercials and music videos for over 12 years, helming projects for Nissan, Honda, Disney, HBO, State Farm, McDonald’s and BMW to name a few. Recently, they just finished a campaign for the hugely successful Call of Duty Black Ops video game franchise.

Strand Super Yacht

I have just replaced the wallpaper on my superficial mind. This now takes it place.
Sail across the pond to New York, pull up next to the Statue of Liberty, fire up the ‘tender,’ drive it into the city, valet at the Setai 5th Avenue, and you’re living the life.
Sure it’s just a concept. And sure, it’s probably a crooked ponzi moneymaking scheme. After all, the company claims the ‘supercar’ will do 230 plus MPH. Not even the cutting edge Bugatti pulls that off-yet.
Still, if you have 24.5 million, blow it on this Strand Super Yacht and get a 880hp V12 super car as your tender. With it’s own garage.
The luxury boat will have 4 state rooms, each containing a 52-inch LED TV and sound system. (Couldn’t they make ‘em 65” TV’s?) Power comes by way of a twin MTU 16V000 engine, which can reach speeds up to 43 knots, or 55 knots if the Rolls Royce KaMeWa boosters are added.
Only 6 will be made, worldwide. And five have already been ordered. How convenient. Still, hats off to the conceptual artist.

Jag's new purr has a peculiar buzzing sound...

I admit it- I was one of the first to slam electric cars-- first they take our manuals, then they take our engines, soon they'll take our steering wheels...

This new electric Jag has me second guessing- a total plug and play model that does 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and hits 205 mph with 790 (electric) horses buzzing under the carbon fiber.

Jaguar’s new supercar concept, the C-X75 makes its North American debut in Los Angeles this month. This plug-in halo car joins high-end concept supercars exploring electric propulsion, such as Porsche’s 918 concept and Audi’s e-tron concept. The C-X75 builds on Jaguar’s legacy of high-end supercars in the vein of its XJ220 or XJR-15. Jag has yet to disclose any build or pricing dates. Just dangling the carrot for now.

Remember that big boned girl who really, really tried hard to be sexy? And most of the time, she pulled it off? Well, that's a lot like Land Rover- a company long known for bloated SUV's and unmatched off-roading abilities has been desperately trying to become SEXY. (Just look at their commercials.)

What do you think? Have they finally succeeded? This is the new Evoque, Land Rover’s compact Range Rover. The Evoque has been unveiled with the promise that the car would be the smallest, lightest, cleanest Range Rover ever. The company has built the small, sexy beast based on the same platform as the LRX concept with no change whatsoever.

The Evoque has been offered as Land Rover’s first front-wheel drive vehicle. Concerns for the environment have also gone into its making with efforts having been undertaken to snip CO2 emissions below 130g/km on the fwd, diesel version that comes powered by a Ford-PSA-sourced 2.2 TD. The London unveiling saw the three-door Evoque, and it is being said that a five-door version will soon come through.

Showcased as an exclusive, cosmopolitan and sophisticated model, the Evoque will most likely fit the up-and-coming Burberry scarved, mocha latte female (and a few metro men). Pricing begins at 45k and units roll out summer of 2011.

Christmas Gifts...

With Christmas right around the corner, it's time to start looking into the perfect gift. And this just might be it. A perfect, 1:1 scale replica of the space shuttle. Sure, it doesn't really work, but it looks cool. Plop it by your pool, turn it into a guest house and you, my friend, will have lift off. Price: 2.2 million, not including set up, transpo, decorating. (Thanks Jesus @ Gizmodo.)
