A good year for good looking convertibles. This great looking Mitsubishi will be joined later by the Pontiac G6 and the new Sebring. Both of these will have folding hard tops. The Eclipse looks like it has a top similar to the Saab’s. As well as other expensive models. Where the top folds flat behind… Continue reading 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Convertible

I must say, this is not as nice as other pictures let me hope it would be.On these pictures, the wheels look too small and the whole car looks kind of lumpy, and heavy. (might be an LE)The current one almost looks simpler, and more modern. And the front does look like a bloated Mazda3.… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Camry

At least that’s what I think it is.Unless it is a mule for the all new model due in a couple of years. We can’t tell much from these bad pictures where all the planned changes are coverd up..So I guess we can expect new lights all around,with bumpers and grill changes as well. The… Continue reading 2007 Lexus RX 350

Amazing!!!! But wait, this is just part of a design expo sponsored by the L.A Auto Show. So it’ll never exist…I know… But this is what the 21st Century motor home should look like.A truely unique design inspired by both the GMC motorhomes from the 70’s and conceptual designer Syd Mead’s work. Something like this… Continue reading GMC PAD

It is just a concept…Most people say it gives us an idea of what the next Pluriel might look like. I bet that makes the current owners happy, right? What would make current owners happy is a boost in quality. Not showing off cool concept designs.A few friends of mine who live in Europe actually… Continue reading Citroen C-Airplay

This is the 1st official picture of the Daewoo Magnus replacement.And it should end up in Europe as the new Chevrolet Epica. (or still using the Evanda name) Here, it is not sure Suzuki will sell it as the next Verona. They might want to concentrate on the SUV market.Suzuki is pretty much where Isuzu… Continue reading Chevrolet Epica/Daewoo Tosca

Sorry for the poor quality. But I think these new shots give a little bit more info about the front end of the next Corolla. Looks like the lights are following the new Camry trend.

These are not pictures of the Maxima, but the Nissan Teana, the Japanese equivalent of the US Maxima. From new spy shots of the revised 2007 Maxima, we can tell Nissan is making it look more like the Teana. They will redesign the front end (looking more like the Teana), the rear lights/bumper, and give… Continue reading 2007 Nissan maxima

The Essen show in Germany is pretty much a European Sema. With even a few minor official introductions. But what it actually is, is a weird mixture of after market parts, cartoonish cars, science fiction, dragsters, a bad acid trip and babes…. And it is still open for a few more days…

I thought I saw this shape before… It’s the old Renault 5 from 1972!I knew it. Except I think the Renault still looks better, after more than 30 years. The 5 became a huge success in Europe, and eventually reaching the US as the “Le Car”.(that was one stupid name)Renault came out with the 2… Continue reading Daihatsu Esse

This car has been seen around for a few months. But a new picture just showed up, without any camouflage.It shows a 5 door hatchback, smaller than the Optima, but larger than the Spectra. Maybe the new Carens, a model we don’t (yet) get over here. It seems to look nice and modern, and could… Continue reading New Kia sedan

It looks like Ford isn’t ready to answer the 2007 Tahoe challenge with an all new truck. At least from these pictures.Next year’s Expedition might just have to do with a new front end, and maybe a revised interior. That might mean the same thing for the Navigator… Are they falling behind, or are they… Continue reading New Ford Expedition

I think if a car looks good in white, it’s a good looking car. White can’t hide anything, and it usually makes everything boring.I must say the new Santa fe looks very nice, even in white. All the expected details are there too. Air conditioned console compartment, adjustable rear seat backs etc…And the finish of… Continue reading White Santa Fe in the wild.

That’s right, a Camry wagon from the previous generation.It was sold in some European countries. But never in the US.Is is kind of weird to see the wagon rear end on such a familiar face, isn’t it?

Renault is thinking about reviving the legendary Alpine name for a new sports car based on the Nissan Z. These pictures of the Takhion concept show what might be one of the design direction for the project. Or should they go with a retro design, inspired by the classic Alpine from the 60’s? If they… Continue reading New renault Alpine

This is the Suzuki clone of the new Fiat SUV.But we are supposed to get this one in the US. Engines in Europe include a 107hp and a 120hp Diesel.Let’s hope something just a little bit bigger makes it over here. (how about the 2.2 Liter from the Cobalt…) I liked the design of the… Continue reading Suzuki SX4

The Gremlin came out in April 1970.If you look at its famous profile, you can see that quite a few modern cars are now using the weird side window design the small AMC pioneered over 35 years ago…(Murano, 2007 RAV4 to name a few)The Gremlin was based on the Hornet. A regular 2 and 4… Continue reading Unloved: the AMC Gremlin

Not sure what this is…They just released the new Sort Track, and this looks pretty much the same.But I think this is actually a preview of the next Ranger. After all these years… It looks OK, but nothing better than any other “compact” pick up truck out there… And it’s not even out yet…

GM sells a version of the Daewoo Matiz in Mexico as a Pontiac. The G2 Matiz.It’s kind of funny and cute to see the Pontiac badge on such a small car… Less cute ( and not funny at all…) are the result from crash tests in Europe. Over there the same car is known as… Continue reading Pontiac G2
