The United Arab Emirates will host the Club World Cup in 2009 and 2010, world governing body FIFA announced on Tuesday.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter said the Club World Cup would return to Japan, which has hosted the revamped tournament since 2005, for 2011 and 2012.

Blatter said the UAE's attractive bid and its suitability for the December time slot made it a good choice for competing teams.

He said FIFA would like the 2009 and 2010 tournaments to be played in other UAE cities, not just Abu Dhabi.

You know... there's only a few things I enjoy more than totally filling my car's fuel tank... and with the prices over here I don't get to do that often. So I might consider making the trip... but then again... can I do the things I enjoy more than that with the girls over there? biggrin.gif

I still want to visit Japan someday!!

Yep....the world definitely needs more Altimas. rolleyes.gif

Well at least you got the 350Z. Too bad the GT-R looks like Seedorf's rear end.

laugh.gif laugh.gif I just said Nissan cause I'd get the chance to drive the GTR... the new version beat Enzo in a race track; it's got the best grip a car has ever had!

But yeah judging from how their cars look like they probably don't hire designers!! tongue.gif

Well... Mitsubishi would not be too bad either... the Evolution is going to be in BMW M5's league in a couple of years! cool.gif
Jack Sparrow
Thought you were into exterior design, and not engines. If you're into engines, why are you even looking past BMW?

Oh and if I were you, I'd want into one of the biggies. Pinnafarina or Italdesign. Or come work in India for DC design. We did the Aston Martin V8. I think it was the Vantage.

Keep dreaming !


Though the new M5 doesn't look as good as it's predecessor dry.gif

Sacrilege. Chris Bangle rocks!!! tongue.gif Though no one else thinks so.

The new BMWs convey a sense of poetry in motion...esp the M6 in a gorgeous shade of burgundy. wub.gif

Good looking??? ohmy.gif

Ya akhi!!!



VS



IS A NO CONTEST!!

The Best m5 ever....and therefore the best 4 door saloon ever. In fact to quote Jeremy Clark...it might be better than that...it might even be better than the Ferrari F430.

I mean imagine you're in this 300k + F430, and you're left in the dust by a 4 door saloon driven by a guy in a suit with suitcases in the trunk. biggrin.gif

I loooove Munich.

P.S: Oh Audi is nice too tongue.gif ....I think car companies make the best shirt sponsors. wink.gif

laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif


Call me old skool, but that M5 brings back a lot of memories .. Sure the new one is sleeker and 100hp more powerful, but I'm a sucker for the aggressive look. And that M5 is damn aggressive biggrin.gif

I did not talk about engines... unsure.gif

Pininfarina and Alfa's Centro Stilo is where I want to work! But you know... they don't keep the same people forever as they want to refresh in ideas... so you can't be a one-center designer...

What do you mean keep dreaming? I'm not saying it will look as good or that the driving experience will be just as good but that's where Mitsubishi's aiming at...

Clark is getting old and losing his mind! By the way... have you ever seen the Polar Special episode!?? laugh.gif laugh.gif

BMW is special under the hood... but the design... well... I got bored of it, it's a recycle of the same style all over again!

Audi is great! And Opel too... why don't we have a thread for cars again!??
Jack Sparrow
There was a thread earlier??

Sure...but before we move onto the discussion, everyone needs to post a resume, of their likes and dislikes. biggrin.gif

You think ? I dunno, it's just that between the Japanese brands, Toyota and Nissan have progressed with Lexus and Infiniti, but still have some way to go ..


Scratch that ... Would you phleez consider designing for Land Rover, cuz I got a feeling TATA will f2ck it up sad.gif

I don't think there was one. I did not find one either... so I will open one just now at the Off-Topic sub-forum.

Mitsubishi announced this... I guess they're not lying... unless they want the Evo not to be seen as the direct rival of the Impreza any more... unsure.gif

Tata? I care more about India to be honest? I mean... their target is every Indian to have a Nano... well even if they make it to one in two Indians that will ruin the country!
Rossoneri7
Hmm .. I always thought that the Nano would be a threat, first and foremost to the other car manufacturers who build small cars like Daihatsu, Lada, Corolla, etc the small cars that any random working man could afford.

I mean, it is a domestic product, which would mean less taxing on it, it's factories would allow more jobs to be allocated, and it is a perfect bench mark for India in the automotive industry ... But how would that ruin the country ?

Fir starters...no airbags..and no adjustable seats. Air pollution..and not enough road infrastructure are the common complaints. But it's much better than a family of 4-5 people squeezing on a scooter.

Well it is relatively cheap, hence I wasn't expecting airbags, air conditioning, etc .. But yeah, deff better than a scooter. BTW, has production started ?
Jack Sparrow
Nope....but the first batch of cars have already been pre booked and sold out... ohmy.gif

Who'd have thought you'd have a longer waiting period for the Nano than that Porsche turbo! biggrin.gif

blink.gif

No way !!!
Jack Sparrow
Way....but for a 3000$ car, I guess it's worth it. biggrin.gif





They're already calling it India's answer to the Beetle. biggrin.gif

The Bettle looks good (the old one too). This one... looks like a cockroach! tongue.gif
Rossoneri7
oh, pollution dry.gif

It's like suicide sad.gif


@Jack ... I think this very line of Tata will do better than what the Beetle had done over it's history biggrin.gif


Damn Tata ! Wont you get me 4% of that sh1t mad.gif
