We end 2008 with the hopes that 2009 will be better, and we’d wager the same could be said of nearly every single automotive executive in the world. It was a rough year to be selling anything, and car sales took multiple shots from seemingly every direction - from high gas prices over the summer months to the credit crunch that brought the year to a close. Still, cars were sold, numbers were tallied and lists were compiled. Click here to see which vehicles managed to weather the storm superior than their peers.

KTM, the Austrian purveyor of both two- and four-wheeled motoring lust, has made it clear that it’s a force to be reckoned with as it branches out into other enthusiast markets with such ridiculously awesome products as the X-Bow roadster and its RC8 superbike. Two things that remain a constant feature through all of the firm’s recent products are the orange, black and white color pallette and its angular design language. These features, along with KTM’s race-ready heritage, makes conceptual vehicle design for the company extremely interesting and proof comes in the form of six concepts designed by industrial design students at FH JOANNEUM University.

KTM AX - A radical off-road four-wheel car concept
KTM sr 85 Deuce - An environmentally-friendly lightweight car
KTM CX - A racing automobile that brings motocross to the water
KTM 360

Reports of the premature death of the Suzuki Kizashi are apparently… premature. After a story surfaced yesterday detailing Suzuki’s cancellation of its mid-sized sedan program, the scribes at Automotive News went to the source to get the details. Suzuki spokesman Jeff Holland told AN, “The production version will debut at this year’s New York auto show in April.” So there. When the Kizashi concept was revealed at last year’s New York show, it garnered a fair amount of praise thanks to the sedan’s swooping lines and road-hugging proportions. The Kizashi has been spied doing laps around the Nurburgring and for a mainstream mid-size sedan that can’t be a bad thing.
