The first official picture of the all new (now car based) Aviator shows one of the best looking SUVs out there.Until you compare it with the stunning concept Ford showed us last year. They did the same thing with the Zephyr. They show us these “production ready looking” concepts so everyone thinks the actual cars… Continue reading 2007 Lincoln Aviator

As you can see, the Dodge Nitro SUV will look almost 100% the same as the so called concept they showed us last year.That concept was actually a production model with a few tweaks. And it will be the same with the Caliber. The Nitro is based on a longer version of the Jeep Liberty… Continue reading 2007 Dodge Nitro

These are pictures of the prodiction version of the all new European Previa minivan.The white cardboards finally came off…As you can see, it looks a lot like the current model. But is also very close to the Hybrid concept from the Tokyo Auto Show. And is is so much nicer than the Sienna we get… Continue reading Toyota Previa/Estima

Really, why this?They will never make it, and it kind of destroys the original design anyway. I live in Hollywood and I have never seen one GT in the streets! I used to see the prototypes testing, but since the real car went on sale, nothing! New Bentleys, Aston Martins, even a couple of the… Continue reading Ford GTX1 Concept

Sorry about the poor quality photo of this illustration.. But this is the closest thing to seeing what the new Corolla’s interior looks like.And the European and US version should share that same dashboard.Not as crazy as the Civic, but it does look upscale.

I am just quickly reposting this for people who are looking for a mid sized car, and are not in such a hurry.(It comes out in about 4 to 5 months, but will be shown in January) .There are very good cars out there, but this should be worth the wait. At least to make… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Camry

Here are a couple more pictures of the European Corolla. Testing outside, so it is covered with that black tape, just like the Camry…It would be too much to hope for the hatchback in the US. But let’s hope the rest of the design is similar.The fenders seem to strech way out for a much… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Corolla

These are pictures from the production model.It is very much like the xB concept they are showing right now at the Tokyo auto show. Except for all the metal parts.From what I’ve seen of the exterior, the body is mostly similar to the concept. But without the uge fenders and weird front end. One more… Continue reading 2007 Scion xB details

No, this is not the new, redeigned Corolla. This is an all new Compressor version of the existing model, with a 225 HP engine.As you can see, the interior is still the same, with a a slightly sportier interior.And as you can see also, this is the European model. Not for US consumption.. Kind of… Continue reading Corolla T Sport

Just a couple of shots from the concept’s interior.You can tell that metal piece accross the board could very well become wood in the production version.Too bad this is limited to Europe and japan. Imagine this here, with the hybrid version!

They go from the “way off” to pretty close. It’s kind of interesting to see these again , isn’t it…

That’s right. Now every version of the Escape will be available with the old Toyota Hybrid system paired with the 2.3Liter Mazda engine. Ford was complaining they couldn’t get enough of these engines to meet the demand. I guess it must have been fixed.If they offer the same “hard to get” drivetrain in 3 models.… Continue reading Mazda Tribute Hybrid

It already started around the world. So why not celebrate.

This illustration looks like a revised version of the current car. The body seems the same. Only the front end looks different.I think the CTS is a very modern looking car as it is, and they could just redesign the front/rear and put an all new interior in it. That could work.They dont’ really need… Continue reading Cadillac CTS

Not to worry.. This is another of these “American cars not sold in the US” type of thing.This one is from Mexico And, as you can see, it is just a Cobalt with new lights and grille. Like the Pursuit in Canada.But I think it does look pretty good. Funny that GM doesn’t mind rebadging… Continue reading Pontiac G4

Is it growing on you yet?Keep in mind it is competing with cars that aren’t really futuristic either. The heavy handed 7 series. The warmed up XJ8. Only the new S class might be interesting, but also more expensive than the Lexus…And I would bet the LS interior is fantastic. Much better than any of… Continue reading More 2007 LS

They can even catch the new 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe!On sale early next year. I just got one, so watch out… And thanks for visiting the sponsors.

That’s where it’s at for Lexus.. Details.

Still called a concept. But this is it. The redesigned LS.And the best looking one so far. Actually, a really good looking car on its own. For the first time it doesn’t look like a Mercedes copy.I now just looks like a cross between the new IS, the next Camry and a bunch of other… Continue reading All new Lexus LS

Not the first time they tease us with a GTR concept.But this seems pretty close to production. And maybe, it gives us a small hint of the next Infiniti G35 coupe on which it is based…
