S Class details
This is a nice one. That door design, with the super nice aluminum finish and wood looks very classy and futuristic at the same time. This is the nightmare.Having to go to the computer screen to use the radio. They copied that form the dreadfull BMW iDrive system. A horrible idea… Notice how easy it… Continue reading S Class details

2006 Saab 9.5
Why even bother… That car looked outdated when it came out!So years later, no one even knows it is still around.New (and even older looking) tail lights, even a revised front end or new interior bits aren’t going to boost the sales. A complete waste of money…

Ford SAV production
The SAV concept introduced a few months ago will go into production at the end of this year.It will be replacing the aging Ford Galaxy minivan in Europe. And they might call it the D Max.Because it is a size larger than the Focus based C Max. Duh…It should be really close to this concept,… Continue reading Ford SAV production

Saturn Signum?
How about it?A “wagon” version of the upcoming Aura. That would be nice and I bet would work too.Without spending too much money, GM could have a great looking 5 door version of the new Saturn. Think of it as a smaller, more civilized version of the Dodge magnum…

2006 Mercury Milan price
The Milan will start at $18 995. $1000 more than the ford cousin, the Fusion.I am not sure what equipment you get for the extra $1000. But that price does includes delivery.What you get is actually an even better looking car than the Fusion. And the similar interior is a bit more upscale, thanks to… Continue reading 2006 Mercury Milan price

2006 Mazda 6
These are pictures of the japanese version of the Mazda6. But the subtle changes will appear here before the fall.The black lacker finish, similar to the RX8, gives the interior a touch of class. And makes the whole thing look more expensive.A great car gets even better. I hope they are now offering a 5… Continue reading 2006 Mazda 6

2006 Ford Fusion price
The all new Fusion will start at $17 995 in the US. That is a great price for a really good looking car!It is based on the Mazda6. And even uses the same engines.I drove a 6 for a few days last month (more on that later) and I loved it.The 2.3 Liter was smooth… Continue reading 2006 Ford Fusion price

Mitsubishi L 200
In this country, where trucks almost outsell cars, you would think every car maker would try to offer everything they have in that segment.Mitsubishi’s idea is to sell a slightly redesigned version of the Dodge Dakota. I just drove a Dakota for a couple of days, and that is not something I would be proud… Continue reading Mitsubishi L 200

Alfa Romeo 159
Nothing brand new. We’ve seen it before.But I just wanted to take another look at what we’re missing in the US. Because GM and Fiat couldn’t get their acts together. So what we have instead, is the new 3 series… This new Alfa looks so much better. They could have been the new Audi in… Continue reading Alfa Romeo 159

Clio 3 details
This is one well thought out small car.What a difference with the cheap stuff we get over here. We have our pick of small, uninspired Korean cars. Or the old Focus, which has now the ugliest and cheapest interior on the market.This small Renault’s interior is better than almost anything sold over here. Including much… Continue reading Clio 3 details

2006 S Class
On these official pictures, the new S class looks pretty nice.Mercedes has done a much better job than BMW at modernizing their designs.This car is still classy and tasteful. I can’t say the same about the 7 series.Most new BMWs are clumzy tortured designs. This is modern, but still very elegant. It is just too… Continue reading 2006 S Class

2006 Audi Q7
Nothing new here. But the Touareg/Cayenne based Audi SUV is getting closer to production.They are already filming commercial in north America. And It is hard to tell if it’s in the US or Canada. Most of these “generic down town areas” look the same. Looks like they are pushing the “on road qualities” of the… Continue reading 2006 Audi Q7

Mercedes S class
A better picture of the all new S Class for 2006.Looks like they didn’t listen to anyone and went ahead with their version of the iDrive systme from BMW.Nobody prefers using a computer mouse onstead of simple buttons when they drive. This is an insane trend. And the overall interior design looks no better than… Continue reading Mercedes S class

Fiat Piccolo Bello
Kind of a weird surprise from Fiat.They’re supposed to have their new version of the 500 (Trepiuno) out pretty soon. But I guess, even that isn’t small enough.So this super small Picollo is supposed to compete with the redesigned Smart Fortwo coming out sometime next year.But the Fiat can seat 4. And it has a… Continue reading Fiat Piccolo Bello
