A concept?!?!Looks almost exactly like the current (and pretty old) Escape!So I would guess this is a preview of the next Escape. and it doesn’t look much more modern than the current one. As a matter of fact, most people couldn’t tell the difference…Didn’t they just revised the Escape? Which means this would still be… Continue reading Ford Equator Concept

Not my thing…But for those who need a Lamborghini V10 engine with 450hp squeezed into a conservative looking sedan. I guess it must be great… At least he giant grille seems to work better with vertical bars inside of it.

I think this illustration is pretty close to what the upcomong compact SUV from Saab could look like.Based on the same platform as the small Cadillac SUV. Smaller and cheaper than the SRX.This actually looks pretty nice. If it is more than a Saab nose on a Cadillac that is…

Not really. This is just an illustration.But the current European model came out in October 2003. That’s 2 years ago, and we still don’t have it here in the US.I understand VW wanted to make sure the Jetta was ready for the US market, before launching the Golf here. And they also wanted to sell… Continue reading New Golf, already?!

When I first saw this, my thought was : Whay did they replace the Outlander with a design that looks even older? But now that I see it in an “other than silver color”, I like it.It looks a bit larger than the current model, and a bit more expensive too. The Japanese model is… Continue reading 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

These are supposed to be pictures of the next Volvo S80. But the look ans size remind me more of a Volvo S60. I know the S80 is older and due for a new one before the S60. And the badge in the rear says V8, which would be crazy in the S60. But still…From… Continue reading 2007 Volvo S80

These are early clay models for the 2005 Mustang. You can tell that, for a while, they weren’t too sure about going retro. They were still trying to put modern details into the design.Thank God they didn’t. I think the final design is much better than any of these.What do you think? Were they right?… Continue reading Birth of a Mustang

Remember this one?It was an early design for the Chrysler CS. Which became the Pacifica. Looks more like a Freestyle. Which do you prefer, this old version, or the one that actually made it into production?

It was actually last week. The Citroen DS was unveiled on October 6th 1955.A car that was more modern that anything on the road at the time. It was almost decades ahead of the competition.It became a legend in its own time.The last DS came out on April 24th 1975. Almost 20 years. Here are… Continue reading The DS turns 50!

The Chinese Passat, that is… VW seems to think the Chinese market doesn’t deserve the all new Passat. So they are redesigning the front and rear of the previous model. That should do for a few years. It’s kind of weird. Almost like a “bizarro world” Passat. A picture of what might have been if… Continue reading VW Passat facelift.

I just got to drive the new Fusion, and I came out pretty impressed.The car I drove was a 3.0Liter V6, automatic with 16 inch wheels. An SE model. The 1st thing I noticed was how much nicer the interior was than what I saw in pictures. Sure, it isn’t futuristic, but still, very modern… Continue reading 2006 Ford Fusion Impressions.

From Germany, we get this illustration of what a smaller, cheaper (around $80000) hard top convertible Maserati could look like.I guess it could…. This illustration actually uses a picture of the Quattroporte.I’m sure it’ll look great anyway. Let’s just hope it turns out to be a bit more original that this. All the luxury brands… Continue reading Maserati CC

As I mentioned before, all you need to do to see the next xB, is to imagine this (slightly disguised) concept without the side squirts, oversized fenders etc….The interior is also the one from the production model. Without some of the flashiest trim. Even though these might be offered by dealers. I still think when… Continue reading Scion xB

Another shot of the next ES testing. Still covered with crap… You can see the front a little bit better, the headlights. And we now know that the top of the doors (and dash) is black. Just like in the new GS and IS. That’s big news isn’t it?

With the Subaru deal over, the next generation 9.2 is, at least delayed. And will not be based on the next Impreza.I would recomand to stay away from actually buying a Saab 9.2. This car will be discontinued early, maybe as soon as late this year. And that means zero resale value! Don’t be tempted… Continue reading Lame Duck!

Maybe, maybe not…The first Le Mans coupe will be delivered by Mid 2007. And Audi is said to be thinking of a convertible version.That would be a stunning looking car. The coupe is powered by a V10 engine. More than enough to compete with Porsche. But really, how many of these can they sell?What is… Continue reading 2007 Audi Le Mans convertible

Again, covered in cardboard. And this is the Japanese/European hatchback version. Just likewith the Civic, we’ll get the “trunk added” version of this.It looks like it has that little triangular window up front like the Civic sedan, or the Prius. That means a big dashboard, and a minivan like point of view… 2006 should be… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Corolla

Just another illustration of what the Golf based SUV could look like… That’s all…

The small Honda Fit will come to the US next spring. Not a new version, but the current one. The one that came out in late 2001.That means it will be over 5 years old by the time it comes over here!Usually the limit for a Honda design…. But maybe, just maybe, a new one… Continue reading 2007 Honda Fit

VW registered this name a couple of years ago. So everyone thinks their next model will be called the Sfero. Who knows, really… All we know is that they will dump the Phaeton and make this their top of the line. Above the Passat.But it looks like competition to VW’s own Touareg. Which, itself, looks… Continue reading VW Sfero
