Look what Citroen brought to the Geneva Motor Show; the DS4 Racing Concept car. This incredibly good looking car was developed by Citroen’s engineers in France. Citroen says it’s just a concept for now. However, there’s a motor show in Paris in September and it’d be an awful shame if there wasn’t any exciting news from Citroen, wouldn’t it?

The new Jaguar concept car is revealed. Word on the street is this one is hardly a concept anymore and really close to the real deal. Personally I think it has the most beautiful derriere I have seen on a car in a long time. Plus those headlights are beautiful designs, almost like camera lenses.
Wacom launched a cool new digital sketch pen for artists called the Inkling which allows you to draw or sketch on any standard piece of paper and automatically have a digital version created.
