A Road Block for Texas DOT?s Highway Robbery Plan?
The Texas Department of Transportation loves big highway projects. In fact, right now, it’s pursuing a third outerbelt for Houston that makes the moon landing seem like a minor undertaking. It’s the black blotch that can’t even fit into the above infographic comparing the sizes of global ring roads.

Official: Monza concept opens its wings and lets us in on Opel's future
Filed under: Concept Cars, Frankfurt Motor Show, Coupe, Hybrid, Europe, Opel, Design/Style
Opel has done a lot to revitalize itself over the past few years, developing a solid product portfolio with hatchbacks, sedans, wagons, minivans and crossovers. What it's missing, though, is a sports coupe - because, let's face it, the Cascada cabrio hardly fits the bill.
Hopes were raised when Opel revealed it was working on a new Monza concept, reviving a nameplate borrowed from an Italian racetrack and previously used on a six-cylinder fastback version of the Senator sedan. Opel has now revealed the Monza in full, but it's neither the sportscar we expected nor the harbinger of a new production model - much less one we could look forward to General Motors porting over as a Buick coupe, for that matter.
What you're looking at instead is a design study that hints at the way Opel will style its cars moving forward. Sized in between the Astra and Insignia, the Monza concept has two giant gullwing doors to give access to both front and rear seats, which is probably your first clue that this is more of a show car than a pre-production prototype. Inside, the futuristic cabin features an LED projection dashboard with 3D graphics, new social interactive systems and a lot of swoopy forms and curved wood.
The concept is powered by a CNG version of the hybrid powertrain you'd find in the Opel Ampera or Chevrolet Volt, propelling a form that is more sedan than sports coupe, even if it does technically only have two doors. A successor to the original Monza it is not - let alone a replacement for the Lotus Elise-based Speedster or Pontiac Solstice-based GT that followed - but as an indicator of where Opel is heading, it looks promising. But we'll reserve final judgement for when we see it at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks. For more details, check out our gallery and the official press release below.
