Another interesting revelation at the Detroit auto show is Subaru’s concept car for the 2010 Legacy model. The concept car at the Detroit show, with a few additional tweaks, is reportedly what the 2010 Legacy will look like when it goes on retail this summer.

In lieu of Legacy’s 20 years of production, Subaru car designers gave the 2010 model an even more distinctive front-end, large fender flares over all the wheels, headlamps with LED lights, and the large grille with the Subaru logo at the center. The 2010 model will also have a more aggressive look, with distinctive hood lines and slim fog lights, as compared to the current version of Legacy. The 2010 Legacy will also have wedge-shaped side rearview cameras to replace traditional mirrors, and character lines that run from the A-pillar to the rear tail lamps.

Gone not in sixty seconds, but maybe faster. A lot of car enthusiast will go after the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda owned by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage during the Russo and Steele’s yearly auction in Arizona this January.

The hemi powered Barracuda of Cage is a rare find considering it is number 128 of 284 produced with the 4-speed transmission. The American muscle car has a triple black scheme— black chassis, seats, and hard top. This was the original configuration when the Barracuda was released in 1969.

The powertrain of the car of the actor was modified and tuned to have an output of 425 horsepower. Kept holy were the iconic shifter in the shape of a pistol-grip, rally instrument cluster, wheels, and super track pack.

The car was inspected in 2005 by expert organizers and they authenticate the cars history using the window sticker, previous owner’s records, and its owner’s manual.
