2008 Nissan SUV
Well.. I was wrong about the new Murano.Most of you were right. But I got more info on this small Nissan SUV. Compared to the current X Trail, it is one inch longer, and as tall and wide.The base engine (at least for Europe and Japan) will be a 2.0 Liter. The US will certainly… Continue reading 2008 Nissan SUV

2008 Nissan Murano
The new Murano will come out next year as a 2008 model.Based on the same platform, the design and interior will be all new. I know this picture is pretty bad, and the car is covered, but I don’t think they can duplicate the great design they came up with for the current generation.The current… Continue reading 2008 Nissan Murano

Poor slob. (part 2)
I bet this guy cannot wait for next month’s New York auto show, where the 2007 Sebring will finally be shown to the public.Then he won’t have to cover, uncover the whole car every time he’s on a break… Life is tough when Vince is on the job…

2007 US Focus
If you think adding the 3 chrome bars to the old Focus is pathetic, well…You might be right. But Ford is in a tough position. The Euro Focus, if sold here, would almost be the same price as the Fusion. ( The Mazda 3 can be pretty costly)And the Fiesta could be closer in price,… Continue reading 2007 US Focus

EOS problems…
VW has discovered problems with the EOS roof.It lets in too much air inside the car. The cabin therefore becomes very noisy with the top up…The European March launch date was pushed to May. Then July. Now it’s been moved back to May. They claim the problem has been fixed. Do you trust them?

New Opel Corsa
The all new Opel Corsa will be shown at the London auto show this coming July.From that illustration (and the spy shots), it will pretty much look like a small Astra.And therefore, would make a really nice entry level Saturn over here. Something to think about…

Farewell to the SSR
Production of the Chevrolet SSR ended last week, after 24 150 units were made. Against all business logic, GM decided to put the SSR concept into production. It became a big, overpriced, 2 seater hardtop pick up truck convertible.I would think the market for this kind of thing was limited at best. It is always… Continue reading Farewell to the SSR

2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
In the story “Every Aston Martin model becomes a convertible”, the V8 Vantage is the next chapter. Nothing unexpected, or really original here.Even though this is a great looking car.

2007 BMW V5
Or whatever they decide to call it.It will be BMW’s answer to the Mercedes R class. But as you can see in this illustration, it might look much sportier than the R Class.It will be based on the next X5, which itself is based on the 5 series.So engines should be similar.

2007 Hyundai Elantra
The new Elantra seems very nice, even on this blurry photo. It looks more like a small Azera than a small Sonata.It should give the car an upscale look. We’ll know everything next month. They have new very competitive models in all segments. Amazing.

VW Concept R gets a green light.
We saw it over 2 years ago, but they claim it will finally make it into production.Good news, it still looks great. But… When the concept was presented, they told the press it would be a cheaper alternative to the Porsche Boxter.Which means: another overpriced VW! I think the R should be priced in the… Continue reading VW Concept R gets a green light.

Mercedes MLK
The MLK is a small SUV based on the next C Class. Basically to compete with the BMW X3.It won’t have much trouble looking much better and more upscale that the cheap looking X3. This illustration shows a cross between the next C Class and the ML.Which is pretty much what it will end up… Continue reading Mercedes MLK

2007 Mercedes C Class
Yet more illustrations.This sedan looks really close to the spy shot of the front end I posted earlier.And that wagon looks amazing. As I said before, if the interior is up to the asking price, they could have a big winner here.

2008 VW Golf
The revised 2006 (For Europe) model isn’t even out yet, that people are already guessing what the next one will look like. The next one being a real “all new” model due sometime in 2008 in Europe. That means we might get it around 2012 over here. If ever…
