  • Mazda MX-5 Limited

    Not even out yet, and the new MX-5 gets a Limited “comemorative” model.It is said to celebrate the coming out of the new generation.They usually come up with these at the end of a run, not the beginning.But I really like the metal finish around the windshield. It fits the design of the new car.That… Continue reading Mazda MX-5 Limited

  • Smart Forfour

    The Forfour sedan should be the best seller in the US.Barely longer than a Mini Cooper, it seats 5!The interior is the least original of all the Smart models. Even thought it is the newest…But it still has the cool option of a glass roof, leather etc…And you can fold both front seats forward. Party!!!!… Continue reading Smart Forfour

  • It’s alive!

    This is the “Limited” version of the all new Jeep Commander.It gets the V8 standard. Otherwise, the base engine is the 3.7 Liter V6 from the Liberty!Imagine this big 7 passenger SUV brick with the V6!No doubt most models will be ordered with the V8. I must say, even “decked out” with all the chrome,… Continue reading It’s alive!

  • Jeep Commander interior

    First. The previous photo is real.The Commander will be introduced next week at the New York auto show.And this interior is not much better than the horrific exterior.I guess “macho” is now an excuse for cheap, hard palstics and backward designs. This should go down in history as one of the worst design ever produced…

  • “New” VW Polo

    Nothing “all new” here…A slight alteration to a pretty conservative design.The front end is supposed to make it look like the other VWs. Like the new Jetta and Paasat.But there is no chrome. So it ends up NOT looking like the others…What’s the point of that really…And the wheels on this upscale model now look… Continue reading “New” VW Polo

  • 2006 Jeep Commander

    After the horrible looking Grand Chreokee, this!Even worse. And bigger and more expensive.Who designed this???It looks like some Russian truck from the early 80’s. NOT a modern Jeep. The worst part is this great looking concept they showed us last year.They, of course, claimed this was the design direction they had chosen for their upcoming… Continue reading 2006 Jeep Commander

  • New Fiats

    It’s really too bad they still can’t move away from that crappy image they have in the US.These cars have been getting better and better.But as they get better, their designs are getting to be really bland. Compared to other European models, that is… The top pictures are of the all new Croma. Their largest… Continue reading New Fiats

  • No B Class for US !!!

    That’s right!Mercedes now claims that the $25000 B Class would have to be more like $30000!All due to the weak dollar. And they “would not be able to make a profit on that”… That is just too bad. The B Class was designed with the US market in mind.And a decision about Smart is coming… Continue reading No B Class for US !!!

  • Smart Roadster

    The coolest model in the Smart line up is the Roadster/Convertible.The roadster is a hatchback.They are available with the same small 3 cylinder turbo engines. Or, at least in Europe, a V6!!!Which must turn that thing into a beast.But that’s not really the point. I sat in one a couple of years ago, and it… Continue reading Smart Roadster

  • Honda Airwave

    This is an all new small wagon based on the Honda Fit/Jazz, (depending on where you live…)It looks kind of nice and modern from the front, but things get pretty old when viewed from the side.It has a wierd early 80’s feel to it… It’s a good idea anyway. A giant glass roof with 5… Continue reading Honda Airwave

  • Great designs… from Geneva.

    The new Citroen C6 doesn’t seem to need the help of models to be noticed.But it doesn’t hurt… The Giugiaro designed Mitsubishi “Nessie”, on the other hand, could use another name to be taken seriously.I guess a sexy girl is cheaper. The new Seat Leon doesn’t need anything.That is one great design.But it is still… Continue reading Great designs… from Geneva.

  • Miata Hard top

    Well, it looks like there isn’t going to be a hard top convertible for the new Miata, but the optional hard top is still an option.It looks very nice, but with only one side window on each side, the visibility is still not that great…

  • 2006 Hyundai Grandeur

    I must say, this might turn out to be one of these cars that looks much better in person.Already, in these shots taken “outside”, it does look pretty nice. It will all come down to price, again. If thay can keep the base price at aroung $25000, it could work.The Avalon starting at just over… Continue reading 2006 Hyundai Grandeur

  • Dodge Caliber Interior

    Well, the interior looks pretty much like what it is: a much cheaper version of the Magnum…And the Magnum interior is not great to start with . Materials in the Caliber look similar too, as well as the color combos.Too bad they still think American car interiors from the 70’s are such a great inspiration.That… Continue reading Dodge Caliber Interior

  • Alfa Interiors

    This is the 2 door hatchback Brera interior. And this is the “sister” sedan’s, the new Alfa 159.Not really as compelling as the exterior. But at least, it’s kind of different, if not better than the previuos models. There is still hope of a US debut for the 2007 model year…

  • Hyundai Grandeur

    Nothing really new to report, except these interior views.Looking nice, but maybe a little bit on the cheap side… I mean, look at the gap between the doors and the dasboard.And the center console area doesn’t look as upscale as the new Avalon. Compare it with this 1992-95 Mazda 929 . A very nice design… Continue reading Hyundai Grandeur

  • Hyndai XG replacement

    That car will end up having differnt names where ever it is sold. Just like the current one, so…In Korea, it is still the ‘Grandeur”. It looks to me like the old Mazda 929. The last generation before the Millenia.It was a nice look 15 years ago…But it doesn’t look as modern as the new… Continue reading Hyndai XG replacement

  • Ford D max???

    That’s what the SAV concept might be called once it reaches production.Just like the C max is based on the Focus, the D max is based on the next Mondeo. And just like the C max, it might give us an idea of what the next Modeo front end might look like. Apologies for todays… Continue reading Ford D max???

  • More Citroen C6 pictures.

    If Lexus claims to be after perfection, Citroen can always claim to be different. Good for them!!! If the C6 rear looks a bit heavy, even clumbsy, well, that’s OK. The old DS and CX looked pretty wierd when they came out, back in the late 50’s and mid 70’s…At least it doesn’t look like… Continue reading More Citroen C6 pictures.
