Nissan may be doing all the green talking with models like the Leaf — which already sounds like a sales success, but they also have other impressive plan. The rumor mill is on the grind again and if the gossip hounds are to be believed, we might soon get to witness the Infiniti M in coupe and convertible versions.

There is no conclusive evidence suggesting the arrival of these two models but the word is that Nissan is considering expanding the M Lineup to compete with the likes of the E-Class (which I tested in Stuttgart last month — the coupe) and the 6-Series. It is most likely that the models will be based on the Essence Concept if Nissan does give its production a nod-ahead.

The fist photos of the pre-production Chevrolet Camaro Convertible surfaced back in 2008, and since then, the development has taken a pretty long time. GM has finally revealed the first images of the production ready 2012 Camaro Convertible prototype through social media outfit Facebook. The convertible looks similar in design to the Coupe and a few noticeable changes include a repositioned third brake light, a trunk-mounted antenna, and a key slot for opening the rear trunk. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will feature the same engines as the coupe including a 312hp 3.6L V6, a 400 hp 6.2-liter V8, and a 426hp 6.2L V8 option. We expect the convertible to arrive by April 2011.

It is hard to remember when was the last time the auto freaks got a glimpse of the 2012 Chevy Camaro after its latest set of images have surfaced with the top down. These images have been shared by the blog forum Camaro5.com and as per the forum; it was back in 2008 that a 2012 Camaro was spotted in a GM revealed teaser.

It was last year that GM announced the delay of the 2012 model arrival but later it was mentioned that the Camarao will be released in 2010 as a 2012 model. These latest images were clicked by an enthusiast who spotted the Camaro when it was being tested in Madison Heights, Michigan which is about 13 miles north of the GM headquarters in Detroit. The car’s test driver also mentioned that the 2012 model must be available in the market by April 2011. (images via Camaro5.com)

Drooling over the brand new Volvo C-70 Convertible, the folks from Heico Sportiv have come up with a facelift tuning design that will blow you away. “Our program kicks in where Volvo’s leaves off,” says Heico Sportiv General Manager, Holger Hedtke. “It’s characterised by supplementation rather than substitution,” he added. Check out the presentation video below.

There are good news for bimmer fanatics as the details of the 2011 BMW 335is Coupe and Convertible have gone public. Both variants of the car feature a 3.0L twin-turbo N54 inline-6 engine which is capable of churning a steady 320hp at 322lb-ft of torque. There is an added turbo-boost mode which takes the toque count to 370lb-ft for situations that demand more power. BMW decided to ignore the Z4is engine as the manual six-speed transmission could not accommodate so much power.

The 335is Coupe and Cabriolet is available with a six-speed manual and a seven-speed DCT. With the DCT integrated the Coupe pelts from 0 to 60mph in 5.3 seconds while the manual version takes a second extra. The drop-top on the other hand take s 5.5 seconds to clock 60mph with either of the transmission systems. The engine being stronger requires better cooling and hence BMW fitted in an extra radiator and allowed larger vents on the front fascia. The Coupe version will be shipped for $50,525 while the convertible with demand $59,075.
