Beginning September 24th approximately 225 Model A’s will come to the Lakes Region for a gathering and road trip.  On Saturday the 26th they will tour around Lake Winnipesaukee.  Many of these cars and their owners are staying in local lodging properties like the Margate and the Landmark Inn.

Here is a preview of the event as some of the cars have begun arriving in the Lakes Region earlier this week.

Land Rover has today confirmed what we’ve long expected – that the popular LRX Concept from the 2008 edition of the Detroit Auto Show is headed for production. The British-born automaker doesn’t actually say the new ‘ute will be called the LRX when it hits the market in 2011, but it definitely will be wearing the Range Rover moniker and will therefore likely be marketed as a premium vehicle.

No details are given about the coupelike SUV’s powertrain, but Land Rover does say the new vehicle “will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle the company has ever produced.” Previous reports have suggested the production LRX will share underpinnings with the LR2 (a.k.a. the Freelander) and will be offered with an optional all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain that may use an electric motor to power the rear wheels and a transverse engine underhood driving the front wheels.

Judging from the lone rendering released with this announcement, the basic shape from the LRX Concept should survive mostly intact, perhaps gaining a slightly more pronounced front fascia to go along with the production-necessary external door handles. Expect more details to filter out at the beginning of 2010, but in the meantime, click past the break for the press release.
