This looks pretty real to me, but who the hell am I ??? It does match the previous spy shots we’ve seen of the car, and the teaser shot of the rear light I posted just a couple of days ago.And Volvo has said they would present a concept version of the car, not the… Continue reading 2007 Volvo C30

The Nissan Teana is due for a few changes next year.As you can see, the front end includes a new grille and bumper.Not that much.The interior is almost the same, with new door handles design. But Nissan is revising the Maxima for 2007 to be more luxurious and compete better with the Avalon. And I… Continue reading Nissan Teana

Toyota is getting a more powerful version of the small Yaris ready soon.The 1.8 Liter puts out between 130 and 180hp in the US. Quite a jump from the small 1.5 Liter. But this little Yaris won’t make it here. It is mostly for Europe and Japan. And maybe, just maybe, we can only hope… Continue reading Toyota Yaris 1.8 Liter

Mea Culpa…You guys were right. The previous post about the Xtrail showed a current version sold in other markets.But this, although it is a quite ugly illustration, shows the next one. The new X trail will share its platform with a small Renault SUV. And you can see the body is similar to the Renault… Continue reading New Nissan X trail

Nothing we didn’t know. It is pretty much the same car as the concept they showed just a little while ago. The grille is more like the current model, and the wheels actually look nicer than the concept. There are talks of a 4.6Liter V8 and a larger 5Liter V8. And a hybrid. We might… Continue reading 2007 Lexus LS

You tell me.It does look like it…At least , it is different than the previous concepts tail lights, so it might just be the real thing. We’ll know more next month when they bring to Detroit a “close to production” version of the S30. Yes I know, another concept. Why not show the real thing???

Hold on! This is just an illustration. But it is actually the second one I see with a similar design . Both ugly I must say.If that is really what Toyota has in mind for their next Highlander, you’d better run to your nearest Hyundai dealer and sign up for the next Sant Fe.I cannot… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Highlander

Again, sorry for the bad picture. But I think this is the 1st shot of the next “Corolla with a trunk”.Basically, the one we’ll get. Just like I thought, the trunk ruins the car. It now looks like any other sedan that has been on the road for the last 20 years…We’ll now more soon.

The X trail is due to get a new front end design. Again…The small Nissan SUV came out in Europe in 2001. And the front end was changed for the end of 2002. With the addition of the Altima’s 2.5 Liter engine.This time, it looks like thay want to make it look less”trucky”…But a replacement… Continue reading Nissan X-Trail

I have to apologize for the poor quality of these pics. We can’t really see anything new, but I thought I’d post them anyway… The new double sunroof/glass roof option is very visible on these shots. And the side of the car doesn’t seem covered, besides the funny tape.In the front, they’ve put the tape… Continue reading 2007 Lexus ES 350

Just a few more small news I’ve gathered about the next CRV: -Still a 2.4 Liter engine with now 170hp-A real hatch, for the 1st time. -No more spare wheel attached to the rear door. -Actually just a bit shorter, about 3 inches.-But lower (quite a bit) and wider.-Scheduled for August 2006. Not sure if… Continue reading 2007 Honda CRV

The sketch (orange), is the only official info about the US Fit.The car has been sold in Europe and Japan for years, and is due for a redesign.But from this illustration, it looks like the US Fit is just the same old one.In 2 door. With a new front and ugly side skirts. Not sure… Continue reading Honda Fit for the US market.

Could the new Nisssan Bluebird become our new Sentra. The old Bluebird used to be the Altima. Now the Altima is too big for non US markets.So this new smaller Nissan could very well be the new Sentra. It almost looks good enough to be a small Infiniti. What do you think, new Sentra or… Continue reading New Nissan Sentra ???

The Challenger concept will be presented in Detroit next month.It is supposed to become production reality for 2008. Around the same time as the next Camaro. Both cars seem to look very similar as well… The Challenger is said to be based on the platform of the next Chrysler 300. And of course, using an… Continue reading Dodge Challenger Concept

During the year 2006, the E class will get one of these minor and useless facelifts that Mercedes does so well.Changing the rear light colors, adding skirts on the side of the car etc…That will be good for a couple of more years. These illustrations show us what we might get after that.At least, they… Continue reading Next Mercedes E Class

Another spy shot of the next “big Volvo”.It still looks like it wasn’t worth redesigning the whole thing to come up with that! What is the point of making it look like a blend of all the other Volvo designs?Ford made the same mistake with the redesigned Jaguar XJ. It looks too much like the… Continue reading 2007 Volvo S80

Not much to say about this. between genius and stupid, really.How much does it cost to repair your air conditioned unit in an old Lincoln?Is is that much more than all this stuff???

Not sure what the name will actually be. Maybe the “Trajet”.Anyway, this is the on again, off again Hyundai version of the new Kia Sedona minivan.It looks OK, but not really better than the Kia.And it looks like they are each other closest competition… Here is the Kia.As you can see, not much difference. Just… Continue reading Hyundai Minivan

These look real to me, but who knows. The actual car would pretty much look like this anyway. No big surprises from BMW really. The coupe version of the 3 series always look like a 2 door version of the sedan. Never really original. I think Honda just did a better job at making the… Continue reading New BMW 3 series Coupe

The new little Chevy was introduced to the European market a few months ago. But this is the US version.And it looks much more upmarket than the previous model. Almost good enough to compete with the Cobalt. The interior of the European version adds wood, which I’m not sure we’ll get over here. That might… Continue reading 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
