• Lexus IS-F

    This is the 1st official photo of the car we used to call the IS 500.5Liter V8 and lots and lots of horses. More in a few days…

  • They do listen… Really????

    Here is the latest from Europe (about Ford selling Euro models in the US): “Ford US executives are eyeing Ford Europe products but no decisions have been made on models or branding, a Ford Europe spokesman told just-auto on Wednesday.”So maybe they do listen. Finally Models considered are the Euro Focus, the next Mondeo (pictured)… Continue reading They do listen… Really????

  • Another new Corolla

    Not sure exactly wich one this is.it is described as the bew “European Corolla”.I thought the Corolla was replaced by the Auris in Europe…I guess they might still use the Corolla name for the “trunk version”.This is one confusing car company. Anyway, this looks to me like what we’ll soon know as teh “US Corolla”…

  • All new Fiat 500

    Sharing a platform with the next Ford Ka, the 500 is Fiat’s retro model.We won’t get this, but we might be getting a vresion of the Ka. This looks to be good competition to the Mini Cooper. Although it should be quite a bit cheaper.Audi also wants to compete with the Cooper but they have… Continue reading All new Fiat 500

  • Honda Accord Coupe Concept

    This car will be at next month’s Detroit show.A “concept”.. Sure… The all new Accord is due just a few months after the show. So what we have here is indeed the next Accord coupe.And it might just be a great one…At least on this illustraion, the side chrome around the windows reminds me of… Continue reading Honda Accord Coupe Concept

  • 2007 Ford C Max

    Another nice interior on a Ford. (One we can’t get) The C Max gets a new front, a revised interior and “more”.A small refresh to make it look more like its larger cousins.

  • 2008 Porsche Cayenne

    Here it is.Not sure what else is new besides the slight body changes.Mileage is said to be improved by 10% accorss the board.It still looks good. So ….

  • New Small Subaru for 2009

    Subaru has been offering the small R2 compact in Japan since 2005. They might actually be considering selling the next version of that car in the US.It will be smaller and cheaper than the (very slow selling) Impreza. This illustration shows a pretty conservative design for Subaru. The current R2 (and R1 “coupe”) is actually… Continue reading New Small Subaru for 2009

  • Auto show #11. Mazda CX9

    The Mazda CX 9 is based on the Ford Edge.Hard to tell.The quality if the interior is so far superior than the Ford model.It is quite amazing that Ford cannot match the look or quality in a product that wears the company name. Sure, the Mazda is a bit more expensive. It starts at #29… Continue reading Auto show #11. Mazda CX9

  • A better looking Sebring

    The new Avenger is heading for production.And it does seem to look better than the Sebring cousin.It looks like the Charger, only better.It doesn’t look futuristic or super classy, but it seems to have a personality lacking in most family cars. Like the larger Chrysler/Dodge models, it does look American. And it’s not afraid of… Continue reading A better looking Sebring

  • Auto show #10. Altima Hybrid.

    I really like the new Altima.The design is nothing brand new, a version of the previous one.But modern enough to make the other one look old when they are next to each other. The Hybrid uses a Toyota system. With Nissan’s own 2.5 Liter engine. The interior is pretty much standard 2007 Altima stuff. Which… Continue reading Auto show #10. Altima Hybrid.

  • Auto show #9. New Ford Escape

    I must say, form the pictures I had seen of it, I was ready to hate it.But I didn’t… First, the doors feell really solid. Something new from the cheap metallic sound of the previous model.They do feel much better than the all new (And more expensive) Edge.A good first impression. The interior design is… Continue reading Auto show #9. New Ford Escape

  • Auto show#6.LR2 Interior

    Sorry. Just one pic, and it’s not great. But I was pretty impressed.The old one wasn’t that horrible anyway. But this is a major improvement.I didn’t see anything cheap. Doors felt solid etc…The shapes are pleasant. And the double sunroofs make it a really open place to be.It is almost too bad the design is… Continue reading Auto show#6.LR2 Interior

  • Auto show #5. New Toyota Tundra

    The big japanese guy from Texas.Seems like some people hate it, others love it. I don’t think it will really scare Chevy or Ford. Full size pick up truck buyers are pretty faithful to their brands.I guess it is for the ones who want something different…
