Next Renault Espace
Looks just a bit more conservative, maybe. And more upscale which is a good thing. Because the Espace isn’t cheap….

More pictures of the new Citroen C5
Looks like it has the same cool steering wheel system I experienced in the C4.This car looks great. I hope it’s a big hit for them. Too bad for us, it would have been a great car for a Citroen “return to the US”…

Porsche Panamera illustrations
By the magazine Top gear. They do look more realistic to me than the previous ones. But the A pillar seems to be really straight. And the whole car seems shorter than what we’ve seen from the spy shots. We’ll see….

Hyundai Elantra Touring “Beach Cruiser” concept
Take away all the SEMA crap and wht we have here is the new 5 door Touring version of the Elantra for the US. And it is pretty much the same car as the i30 Wagon sold overseas. (Bottom picture)Nothing new or specific to the US market.It does look good.

New Smart crash test
The redesigned Smart (the one we’re getting next year) just got a 4 star rating in the latest Euro NCAP test.Great result. I am sure they’ll be using that in the US launch. Most people here are still afraid to be driving such a small car on our freeways.

Mitsubishi Lancer Fortis
I might be wrong, but this looks like the Chinese version of our “regular” Lancer.With a much more conservative front end and a cheesier interior.

VW Space Up! concept
Was this the “revival of the Microbus” concept we were waiting for? I hope not. It’s fine. But it is just a 5 door version of the Up Concept from a few weeks ago.It looks really modern, but if it takes them 2 or 3 years to get that thing into production, it’ll just look… Continue reading VW Space Up! concept

More Lexus LF-Xh concept pictures
Again, this is supposed to show us a glimpse of the next RX.I don’t think so. The Next RX will be so watered down compare to this . The windows are way smaller and the proportions different than the prototypes they’ve been testing around.And that interior is pure concept art work. Another tease….

Smart Chinese copy on sale in Europe????
That’s what the Chinese press claims. The European importer, Martin Motors will be selling the car in Italy.They are afraid of the German market because the Chinese car maker is actually being sued by Mercedes.(!!!) So, in a weird/strange/stupid yet gutsy move, they’ve decided to start sales in Italy for 9000 Euros.A country where the… Continue reading Smart Chinese copy on sale in Europe????

Audi A1 Concept video
Lots of cool features. I like the front turn signals, similar idea to what they already have in the rear of the Passat. But is it enough to really go against the Mini? And. Are they going to sell it over here? It took them many years to finally bring over the A3. And we… Continue reading Audi A1 Concept video

Saab 9.4X Illustration
Just looks like a compact wagon on this one…I guess it shouldn’t be too trucky for a Saab.This and the Cadillac version will be made in Mexico next year.

Hyundai iX 55
That could be the name they will use when the Veracruz goes on sale in Europe.They are thinking of selling around 5000 units a year. The main engine will be the 3.0 Liter V6 diesel with 240hp. Price should be around 45 000 Euros. That seems crazy until you compare it to the 65 000… Continue reading Hyundai iX 55

2008 Corolla
Funny way to find out about it….A dealer ad ahead of the SEMA launch… I guess it’s pretty much the same model many countries around the world have seen for the past year….
