We all know that Toyota is definitely the top dog right now.  The Pruis is a car that is definitely pulling rank more than any car in the world right now, however — Toyota is just releasing some incredible pictures of their brand new concept car that is going to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month.

This all new gas/electric hybrid is going to not only look awesome but it is going to be a brand new vehicle entirely.  Judging alone by the two teaser photos, I can honestly say that this particular car is not something that I would have expected from Toyota, nor would I have expected nothing less than a surprise.

Toyota is a constant surprise and this just proves it.  No details on this concept car just yet but soon enough!

The SAIC Roewe N1 concept is the flagship domestic brand for SAIC — the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. It recently gave up some teaser images of the new N1 concept, just before the car was officially unveiled at the auto show in Shanghai.

The N1 is, of course, labeled as a concept car. However, insiders within SAIC have been hinting heavily that this sleek machine is ultimately bound for the production line. Those same insiders anticipate that the N1 will go on sale late this year or early in 2010.

If the car has made it to production, one of two surprisingly compact engines will be available to power it: either a 1.3 liter engine or a 1.5 liter four cylinder engine.
