2007 Hyundai Tiburon

2007 Alfa Romeo Competizione
This is supposed to be the production version.But I can’t see any cuts for the bumpers?!?? The production model will come with a 4.7 Liter V8 with 450hp from Maserati.Being an Alfa, it should be quite a bit cheaper, even if production is limited.There is still hope a few might end up in the US,… Continue reading 2007 Alfa Romeo Competizione

Chevrolet Sequel
Based on last year’s GMC concept, the sequel is actually a drivable hydrogen car. They claim a 300 miles range and 0 to 60 in 10 seconds.That’s pretty amazing when you think of it. But no word yet on when we can actually drive one, or when the Hydrogen infrastructure might even be ready. I… Continue reading Chevrolet Sequel

New Mini Wagon
This illustration from Auto Express matches all the spy shots I have seen of the car.And it looks pretty real to me.So I am not even sure if it is an illustration or not…It almost doesn’t matter. The final car will look like this anyway. And it should be fun. More room in the back,… Continue reading New Mini Wagon

Suzuki SX4 Sedan
An abomination is what this is.I never saw anyone trying to turn an SUV design into a sedan. And I hope I’ll never see it again.What’s next?A Highlander sedan from Toyota? And of all the new cars covered here, you know this one will probably make it into the US…

Audi/KTM project.
Seems like Audi is thinking about pairing with motorcycle manufacturer KTM to produce a small, lightweight 2 seater convertible in the near future.This would be a very exclusive model with a limited run.. This might also explain why VW killed the GX3 project. It seems that the favorite engine would be VW’s own 1.4 Liter… Continue reading Audi/KTM project.

Renault Nepta Concept
I always loved convertibles and this is a real treat.A spectacular design from Renault. Which of course, will never be produced.Except maybe, the front end might give us an idea of the next Laguna. The concept is powered by a 3.5 Liter V6. Sounds familiar?Yes, it is the excellent Nissan engine paired with 2 turbos… Continue reading Renault Nepta Concept

Infiniti in Europe
Infiniti is seriously thinking of entering the European market in late 2008.I think most Europeans looking for a luxury car are still only shopping between BMW and Mercedes.That’s why Lancia, Peugeot and Renault, among others, have such a hard time in this market.Ford and Opel even gave up years ago with the death of the… Continue reading Infiniti in Europe

2006 Paris Auto Show
Just a short not about the upcoming Paris Auto show. I had the chance to go there 4 years ago (it does seem like last year…) And it was a great experience.I really wish I could go this year…Not only for the cool cars, but also the people, the city etc.. It also opened m… Continue reading 2006 Paris Auto Show

Peugeot 207 CC
This e Pure concept is just a thinly disguised 207 CC hardtop convertible available in Europe early next year.Take out the all white interior and the chrome, and you pretty much have the production model. Another one we can’t get.

Citroen C4 Picasso
At least they’re trying crazy stuff. That’s what Saab should be doing too.Citroen found its way again by not trying to be the car for everyone.This makes any recent Japanese design so dated. Few brands can get away with such futuristic shapes and details. Citroen, Saab and Subaru. So far only Citroen gets it right…
