Auto show spy game!

Looks like something new with the Civic is coming up soon! I’m not sure if this is the all new 2006 model. It might be too early for that. The European version of the Civic will be shown much later this year… The Moutaineer and the Explorer get new front ends and interiors. We’ll see…

2006 Mercury Milan

Another set of pictures stolen from the show floor via webcams. The organizers didn’t think of that one! The Milan is a straight “Ford with chrome” version of the new Ford Fusion. Front and rear ends are new. But it looks like the interior changes are just limited to more aluminum finish… If they are… Continue reading 2006 Mercury Milan

Opel Zephira

Nope. We don’t get it… Even thought it is based on the same platform as the Saturn Ion/Chevy Cobalt.This would actually be a great addition to the Saturn line.And the front end is very similar to the new midsize Aura. So why not??? They’re both Opels anyway. With cars like the Mazda 3 and 5,… Continue reading Opel Zephira

2006 Cadillac DTS

Crafting an STS type front end to the Deville body doesn’t really make an all new model. It is really too bad. They just redesigned the Impala with an all new body. The Buick Lucerne is also an all new design. But the DTS is just a refreshed old Deville. With a new interior. The… Continue reading 2006 Cadillac DTS

2006 Buick Lucerne

These pictures were just taken on the floor of the Chicago auto show. They are getting ready as we speak. So the car should come out this week. These were taken from a video presentation. The car is actually still based on the Le Sabre platform. Just like the new Impala is based on the… Continue reading 2006 Buick Lucerne

2006 Kia Sedona

Another good looking sketch from Kia. But as we know, these drawings are mostly PR BS! It will probably be a nice minivan. But not as sporty and modern as this picture suggests. But from the spy pics that have been around for a while, the interior seems to be quite luxurious. The 2006 model… Continue reading 2006 Kia Sedona

2005 Renault Laguna

This is not a redesign, but a slight revision to the design. The all new 3rd generation model is still over 2 years away… But that interior is really one of the best I have seen. Compare this to what we get in the US in a mid sized sedan! It’s just too bad Renault… Continue reading 2005 Renault Laguna

Audi Q7

This is the 1st official teaser photo of the all new Audi Q7. Their first SUV… At first, you would think i is just a raised A6 Wagon. Because that’s pretty much what]it looks like. But No.. It is actually based on the same platform as the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. But it does… Continue reading Audi Q7

Alfa Romeo Brera

That is one super good looking car. It might still come to the US if GM can keep parts of its deal with Fiat. It is just a little shorter than a 3 series BMW. And the engines are a 2.2 Liter with 185hp. Or a 3.2 Liter V6 with 260hp! And it’s a hatchback… Continue reading Alfa Romeo Brera

Future Mitsubishis

Mitsubishi just announced a new deal with French car maker Peugeot/Citroen. There seems to also be a strange connection with Nissan. I mean strange because Nissan is run by rival Renault (???). Seems like Mitsubishi will provide Peugeot with an all new SUV. From these pictures here, this production ready concept is obviously a Mitsubishi… Continue reading Future Mitsubishis

Subaru Forester

It looks like the current Forester will be around for a while. They just spend money redesigning the front, back and interior. The new front makes the little wagon look more macho. (The red one is the current model) But it doesn’t match at all the new front end design that all the new Subarus… Continue reading Subaru Forester

BMW 7 Series

It still doesn’t look right, but it is better than before. (the smaller pics are the new car) The main problem to me, is that weird trunk cut that you see on the profile of the car. And thay can’t fix that unless they redesign the whole thing. The 5 and the 6 series have… Continue reading BMW 7 Series

Volvo T6 Roadster

What the hell is this?? Looks like a Volvo version of the Plymouth Prowler! Why, why why??? What is the point of a European version of this? It does look kind of fun. Like all these goofy designs. But it’ll never be made. Chrysler proved there is no market for such a car. It is… Continue reading Volvo T6 Roadster

Fancy interiors!

I am usually not into fancy, over priced cars. You you have to admit, there is something special about the interior of this Maserati Quatroporte. It is just so much nicer and special than the german competition. Like the S class or the 7 series… For not that much more money. The Spyker is maybe… Continue reading Fancy interiors!

Good details

The stuff we all like to see. The wheel design on the new Chevy Cobalt SS is just perfect! A classy, simple design and they chose the perfect color. No chrome! The Chevrolet Impala just left the “ugly” bin. It is now pretty nice looking, and an alternative to the Camry. The front end is… Continue reading Good details
