  • More on the 407 Coupe

    A nice looking car, but the flat rear end strangly reminds me of some 1970s European car. Not a good thing…The interior is almost straight from the sedan.This “concept” is actually called the Prologue. But it is pretty much the production model. Too bad for us, it would have been nice to have a European… Continue reading More on the 407 Coupe

  • Peugeot 407 Coupe

    The sedan version, and especially the wagon, look so modern , they almost make this 2 door coupe look conservative.The design is not as modern as the previous Peugeot Coupe.The most interesting engine is the new 2.7Liter V6 Diesel also used in the Jaguars X and S Types. And, of course, we will never see… Continue reading Peugeot 407 Coupe

  • 2006 Saab 9.3 Sport Hatch

    Nothing spectacular here.A straight wagon from the sedan.Looks just like the concept shown last year, except for the cool glass roof.The main news is the availability of a Turbo V6 with 250hp! Saabs remain quite expensive for cars most people are not interested in. (at least in the US).Loose the “side skirts” and with a… Continue reading 2006 Saab 9.3 Sport Hatch

  • 2006 Mercedes B Class

    With these fenders, the B class looks like a non-retro Mercedes PT Cruiser, kind of… Based on the new A class, it is longer and taller. And it should be coming to the US. Unless the dollar plunges even more. But the rear, and the interior don’t look very modern. Especially compared with the A… Continue reading 2006 Mercedes B Class

  • 2006 Honda Civic (US)

    Replace the wheels with smaller ones, do the same thing with the rear spoiler. Ad door handles and take out the black paint on the hood and the glass roof. And there you have it! The 2006 Civic SI coupe for the US market. (Well, if they don’t pull a “Lincoln Zephyr” on us, that… Continue reading 2006 Honda Civic (US)

  • 2006 Dodge Neon replacement

    The new small Dodge will be part of the European lauch of the brand. Why Mercedes decided to sell Dodge cars in europe is beyong me. I just don’t get it. Don’t they have enough trouble selling Chryslers? Dodge is a completely unnown name over there. They will have to start everything from zero. But… Continue reading 2006 Dodge Neon replacement

  • Dodge Nitro

    For now called a concept. But besides the 20 inch wheels, that’s pretty much what we’ll get next year.It’s more a preview than a real concept. This might also be part of the European lauch of the Dodge brand. This is completely based on the Jeep Liberty. And yet, it doesn’t look anything like it!… Continue reading Dodge Nitro

  • 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

    It is now Toyota’s turn to get a “retro mobile”. The FJ Cruiser is a throw back to the old Land Cruiser. With a modern twist. And it looks great. They have not released pictures of the interior yet… I guess it’s too early. The standard, and only, engine is a big V6! And they… Continue reading 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

  • Citroen C6

    These are the first official photos of the all new Citroen C6. Which of course will never be sold in the US. Citroen is back into the luxury car market after years of nothing to offer in that segment. It seems to look much better on these pictures.

  • Buick Lucerne

    Finally a decent looking large Buick sedan! The front end still looks a bit heavy, and not too classy. But the profile is actually modern. It even looks a lot like the new 2006 VW Passat! Based on the current platform, it is available with the old 3.8Liter V6 with 195hp. Or a 4.6 Liter… Continue reading Buick Lucerne

  • 2006 Mercury Milan

    Well… The Milan looks great! For a Ford clone, it’s amazing. The Fusion looks very nice, but the small changes to the Mercury version are even better. And much better looking than the Lincoln Zephyr clone. They could have spend a bit more inside. It almost looks exactly the same as in the Ford. But… Continue reading 2006 Mercury Milan

  • Auto show spy game!

    Looks like something new with the Civic is coming up soon! I’m not sure if this is the all new 2006 model. It might be too early for that. The European version of the Civic will be shown much later this year… The Moutaineer and the Explorer get new front ends and interiors. We’ll see…

  • 2006 Mercury Milan

    Another set of pictures stolen from the show floor via webcams. The organizers didn’t think of that one! The Milan is a straight “Ford with chrome” version of the new Ford Fusion. Front and rear ends are new. But it looks like the interior changes are just limited to more aluminum finish… If they are… Continue reading 2006 Mercury Milan

  • Opel Zephira

    Nope. We don’t get it… Even thought it is based on the same platform as the Saturn Ion/Chevy Cobalt.This would actually be a great addition to the Saturn line.And the front end is very similar to the new midsize Aura. So why not??? They’re both Opels anyway. With cars like the Mazda 3 and 5,… Continue reading Opel Zephira

  • 2006 Cadillac DTS

    Crafting an STS type front end to the Deville body doesn’t really make an all new model. It is really too bad. They just redesigned the Impala with an all new body. The Buick Lucerne is also an all new design. But the DTS is just a refreshed old Deville. With a new interior. The… Continue reading 2006 Cadillac DTS

  • 2006 Buick Lucerne

    These pictures were just taken on the floor of the Chicago auto show. They are getting ready as we speak. So the car should come out this week. These were taken from a video presentation. The car is actually still based on the Le Sabre platform. Just like the new Impala is based on the… Continue reading 2006 Buick Lucerne

  • 2006 Kia Sedona

    Another good looking sketch from Kia. But as we know, these drawings are mostly PR BS! It will probably be a nice minivan. But not as sporty and modern as this picture suggests. But from the spy pics that have been around for a while, the interior seems to be quite luxurious. The 2006 model… Continue reading 2006 Kia Sedona

  • 2005 Renault Laguna

    This is not a redesign, but a slight revision to the design. The all new 3rd generation model is still over 2 years away… But that interior is really one of the best I have seen. Compare this to what we get in the US in a mid sized sedan! It’s just too bad Renault… Continue reading 2005 Renault Laguna

  • Audi Q7

    This is the 1st official teaser photo of the all new Audi Q7. Their first SUV… At first, you would think i is just a raised A6 Wagon. Because that’s pretty much what]it looks like. But No.. It is actually based on the same platform as the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. But it does… Continue reading Audi Q7

  • More Echo/Yaris pictures

    A fine, modern little car.But life won’t be that easy in Europe.Where it’ll have to compete with all new models from Renault, Opel, Peugeot/Citroen and others.These guys make excellent and very good looking small cars.The Toyota’s interior looks much cheaper than the latest European offerings…
