Not sure if this is an illustration or not. But it does look like the pictures of the car that were on the web a few weeks ago. One weird thing.. It is based on the Brera coupe. It wears a Pininfarina badge on the side, but the Brera is a Giugiaro design. Maybe Pininfarina… Continue reading Alfa Romeo Spyder

…..Photos removed….. The smaller CX7 isn’t out yet, and we already have a preview of the larger CX9. Which will replace the MPV in the US. The CX7 is supposed to be based on the same platform as the Ford Edge, but will be powered by a 2.3 Liter Turbo engine.And the CX9 is said… Continue reading Mazda CX9

These are also the first official pictures of the new small SUV from Fiat and Suzuki.And the Suzuki version is supposed to make it over here. Don’t be fooled by the wide angle lens on these pictures, this thing is pretty tiny. Almost a foot shorter than a Mazda3 Hatchback! The largest engine in Europe… Continue reading Fiat Sedici SUV

Finally, these are official pictures of the all new Santa Fe.This is the Korean version. The one sold in North America will be built in the US, just like the Sonata. So far, we’ve heard the base engine will be a newer version of the 2.7 Liter V6. With a 3.3 Lier from the Sonata… Continue reading 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe

Dodge will introduce this concept at the Detroit Auto Show in January. (While GM will have their Camaro concept). If they were thinking of this one all along, why did they bother with the ugly Charger??? It is also based ont the 300 frame, and uses the 6.1 Liter V8.Pictures I saw of the car… Continue reading Dodge Challenger Concept

The Epica will replace the Evanda in Chevrolet’s European line up next year.The current Evanda is actually what we know here as the Suzuki Verona.A car no one knows in the US. I wonder if the new one will come here at all. Form these (pretty bad) pictures, it almost looks like an Acura from… Continue reading Chevrolet Epica

All in the name of cars… The 1st picture comes from Buffalo New York.And I think the 2nd picture was taken at the Geneva Auto Show. Shocking indeed…

Finally, one really good idea from VW.Giving a bit of an aggressive SUV look to the little Polo. And this would be the perfect entry level VW for the US.European engines top with a 1.4 Liter with 100hp. But I’m sure they could put something else in there for the US. Whatever it takes, hey,… Continue reading VW Cross Polo

Not too much to say on this, except it looks like another winner for Peugeot.I think it’s pretty gutsy to walk up to a photo shoot (in South Africa of all places), and come close enough to get these shots…

Not a good picture.Actully, I think it makes the good looking Camry look pretty bad. But I thought I’d post it anyway.Why not…

Just an illustration of what the next Mondeo might look like.Looks very realistic to me. Not too crazy, but better looking than almost anything else out there in the segment. Too bad there is no room for this in the US line up. Next to it, the Fusion will look like a 10 year old… Continue reading New Ford Mondeo

From the comments I’ve been getting. Ssang Yong seems to be the most hatted brand around..So I decided to post more. Their new, smaller, model it the Actyon. From what I understand it is powered by a 2.0 Liter good for 145hp. Not bad.It is also available with 4WD.It doesn’t look much like an SUV,… Continue reading Ssang Yong Actyon

Just thought I would share this picture of a “non-black” interior in the new C6.This makes it much more luxurious looking. I still miss the curvy dashboards they had back in the 70’s in the SM and CX. This might just have a chance against the German competition…

The Current European Previa is still one of the most modern looking minivan out there. So this one doesn’t look that much better.Still, it looks light years ahead of the Sienna we have in the US. And the new Previa is available with a 3.5 Liter V6 with 280hp.Sounds like the Avalon engine. And a… Continue reading New Toyota Previa/Estima

It seems like our American bashing reader might be right after all.The white SUV on the picture does look a lot like the new Ssangyong Kyron.Here are some picture of the production model. And that would make sense for the other one to be the Rexton…

Looks like they kept it pretty close to last year’s concept. But it also looks like all the other European hard top convertibles. They all start looking the same. Peugeot 306, Renault Megane, Opel Astra, Volvo C70, VW Eos etc… At least this shouldn’t be that expensive. And it shares its platform with the Volvo.… Continue reading Ford Focus Convertible

I’ll try again. Can anyone gusee what these 2 SUVs are? I’ll give you a hint: I have no clue! The one on the left looks like it could be on of the next GM Saturn/Opel/Holden “thing”.But the one on the right looks like a RAV4, but not quite….

That’s right. This is the next Corolla’s interior! (I must say it looks very similar to the illustration I posted a few weeks ago…) At least the European version. But so far, even though they have different designs, Corollas from Europe and the US have shared similar interiors. So I would guess this is pretty… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Corolla interior.

We still can’t see much. But the rear looks pretty close to the really cool concept we saw a few years ago.That’s a good sign. Because the front end looks almost exactly like the S40.Not very exiting. And let’s hope they price this one right.The S40 ($24 000) based convertible version, wrongly called the new… Continue reading 2007 Volvo C30

As you can see, this weird looking van is actually based on the VW Transporter.The after market Russian company Zestline tought they could “improve” the VW…Did they?(They already did some work on the Chrysler Crossfire, BMW and Mercedes). The headlights are from a Volvo truck, so you know… Not sure what to think….
