Nice seats! But they kind of look scary to me… I don’t know why… Just like in the Rolls! You can hide your umbrella inside the door! Or a baseball bat, a riffle or a broom. Finally! You can plug your computer directly. Without a power adaptor. Or a toaster, a microwave oven, a fax… Continue reading New VW Passat details
2005 (!) Avalon
That’s right. Toyota calls the new Avalon a 2005. I’ve been calling it a 2006 for weeks now. So, to apologize, here are a couple more pictures of it. It looks better and better…. That interior looks pretty amazing. And that’s a horrible picture! Just compare it with the all new Ford 500. And the… Continue reading 2005 (!) Avalon
Nissan Note
Something else we might never see. Another friendly face missed. The Note isn’t for us… Looks like a more family oriented version of the Scion Xb. But it is much more interesting to look at. The cool door handles inside, the reverse lights in the window outside… Like the Xb, it is powered by a… Continue reading Nissan Note
More on the 2006 Avalon
Here are just a couple of newer pictures of the all new Toyota Avalon. It does look much better. Seems like it might turn out to be a pretty impressive car. I cannot imagine how they can improve the ride and overall quality of the car. But it seems they have done it again. And… Continue reading More on the 2006 Avalon
Bentley Continental Flying Spur.
As you can see, the new Bentley is a straight sedan version of the gorgeous coupe that came out a couple of years ago. It shares the drivetrain, a Turbo V12! And the interior is also almost the same. But with 4 doors… They did a perfect job in designing their new sedan from the… Continue reading Bentley Continental Flying Spur.
Familiar rear end…
When I saw this (the new Cadillad DTS/Deville rear end), it reminded me of something I’d seen before. Often… But not really something good… That’s IT!!! Yes! That’s almost the same design as the 1991 Chrysler New Yorker that is sitting in my neighbor”s (Marvin Schlomsky) driveway! It dates back when Chrysler was designing all… Continue reading Familiar rear end…
STS interior details
Here are a few exemples of bad detailings I noticed while at the Auto show: The new Cadillac STS interior is just not up to speed with the rest of the car. And details are what makes the difference! Especially at above $50 000!!! The console is jut plain and almost cheap looking. Just sit… Continue reading STS interior details
2006 Cadillac DTS. Kind of…
That’s right, kind of. This is Geoege Bush’s new ride for 2005. And the new presidential limousine is now based on the updated 2006 DTS. So what you see here, is the new front end design for the large Cadillac. The rear and interior are also new. It now fits more the design theme of… Continue reading 2006 Cadillac DTS. Kind of…
Bad details.
Bad details are often what makes someone choose another car. Here are a few exemples: This is really not what you would expect of a $45000 car! That just looks too cheap. But that’s what you get in the new Corvette. And that’s the useless 1 inch deep center console! Why even bother… Overall, the… Continue reading Bad details.
2006 Jetta GLI
VW just recently announced the new GLI version of the Jetta. The front looks exactly the same as the Golf GTI. So do the great looking 17 inch wheels. And the engine is, again, similar. The new 2.0Liter with 200 hp. It has the sport seats pictured here and a 6 speed manual or automatic.… Continue reading 2006 Jetta GLI
Mazda 5 Conversion
Mazda recently showed in Japan conversions versions of the new Mazda5. It looks like this thing could be the newxt VW Bus! It is small, yet roomy, affordable (starts at around $18 000), and with some added parts, you can go camping!!! I hope Mazda capitalizes on all these possibilities when the car comes out… Continue reading Mazda 5 Conversion
Crazy Los Angeles show
This is the car for the new “love Bug” movie from Disney.. They ruined the car, and Lindsey Lohan replaces Dean Jones!! What the Hell???? A classic!!! Still looks great! This is great looking. Perfect for the weather in L.A!!! But at aroung $25 000, it’s still a luxurious toy… Perfect pimp car! A $300… Continue reading Crazy Los Angeles show
2006 Volvo C30
At the Detroit Auto Show, Volvo showed a teaser photo of the upcoming C30. It has been rumored for years now, that a 2 door hatchback model would be based on the S40 platform. It will be 8 inches shorter than the sedan. This is the SCC concept that inspired the design of the C30.… Continue reading 2006 Volvo C30
Renault Reliance !
Finally. A modern looking truck!!! I don’t know anything about it, and I don’t want to. Just build it! It’s just too bad Renault doesn’t sell trucks in the US… Hey, wait a minute! Don’t they have a connection with Mack trucks. Didn’t they used to own it??? There might be hope…
2006 Subaru Tribeca
Seems like most people are already bashing this new Subaru for its looks. I like it! Subarus are supposed to look a bit weird. People always complain that cars all look alike, but whenever someone tries something different, they get critisezed for it. Subaru is a Japanese Citroen. These 2 brands, as well as Saab… Continue reading 2006 Subaru Tribeca
2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
That’s what I like to see. A great looking affordable car! And I don’t care who makes it! This is the best looking Eclipse ever, and one of the best looking car today. The interior looks like it’s right out of a concept car! You get a hatchback, a big sunroof, good engines and great… Continue reading 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Next Jaguar XK?
That doesn’t look as good as the current model! And it’s not even out yet. They call it :”Advanced Lightweight Concept”! What a name! Let’s hope they make some changes before it becomes the next $75 000 XK! The interior especially needs to look more like what you want in a top of the line… Continue reading Next Jaguar XK?
2006 Honda Ridgeline
That’s a mouthfull for such a weird experiment! Usually, truck people don’t want a car based pick up. This is based on the Pilot platform. Which is not a truck. So I’m not sure what is the point of it… The plain, almost ugly, interior looks really like an American truck. It looks like a… Continue reading 2006 Honda Ridgeline
Toyota FT-SX
Don’t dismiss this as just “another concept”. It is supposed to look like the next Toyota Highlander! (Fall 2005) At least, that what “they” say… The Highlander, being based on the Camry, is already one of the best car based SUV on the market, but it has never be one of the best looking. This… Continue reading Toyota FT-SX
Crazy convertibles!
No, it’s not the new Chrysler 300 C convertible…. Look closely, it is a 4 door convertible! It is the work of a small californian company called Newport Convertibles. And they’ll turn almost anything into a drop top. This actually doesn’t look too bad. But I’d like to se what it looks like with the… Continue reading Crazy convertibles!
