Just another illustration. We’ll know more next week. But this one doesn’t look too bad, pretty realistic too. They might just have something good looking this time around…

Well… Not really.It is a new ($4000) option on the Saleen Mustang.I just wish Ford could offer something close to this on the regular model. For $900 !!!

Why not? At least this german illustration looks much better than the BMW X3. Porsche is right now making a deal where they could end up owning 20% of VW.And they do want something smaller than the Cayenne. Audi is planing a Q5. A compact SUV based on a mix of parts from the A4… Continue reading Cayenne Compact???

This French illustration gives us an idea of what the next C5 could look like. The current model came out in March 2001, and was revised in 2004. So it makes sense a new one might be out for 2007.These cars usually share platforms with Peugeot models, so expect the new one to be based… Continue reading Citroen C5

Just another illustration. But this one seems to match pretty well the spy shot I posted a couple of days ago. They are supposed to show a “Concept” version next week, and the production model in Detroit, January.With only a few months between the 2, that could mean the “Concept” will be almost 100% close… Continue reading Lexus LS

Here are more views of the new MPV. That someone here (who claims to work for Mazda), says will not come to the US.I have read about a new US MPV for a couple of years, from a few different sources, so we’ll have to see. I’ll try to find more info on that.But this… Continue reading Mazda MPV

Most Australian cars don’t make it over here. But this is the same car GM showed us with a Daewoo badge a while ago. Which will be sold in Europe as an Opel and a Chevrolet.Now, rumors are this will replace the Saturn Vue as well. The Vue was just updated a couple of months… Continue reading Holden S3X

Just a quick shot of the production Caliber testing in France.So far they kept the Concept design. (Which was not really a concept anyway…) But if they want to enter the European market, they’d better redesign the horribly crappy interior the concept had….

Toyota has just introduced this wierd looking concept. But behind the overdone fenders, skirts etc… Is the next Xb.It just looks like a light redesign of the present car… So even Scion is playing it safe…. Here is a shot of the production model, currently testing. You can’t see much, I know.And it does look… Continue reading New Scion Xb

For those who like that kind of big, boring,a bit square, wannabe Truck SUV things…The ML will replace the old (and I mean 1970’s old) G Class. I don’t like the G class, but at least it doesn’t look like anything else. This looks like everything else… And keep visiting the sponsors…

Here it is, the mighty new Lexus LS. The most luxurious Japanese car available in the US gets even better. From the picture, we can see it still won’t be as modern looking as the new S Class, or even the Audi A8. But it is getting better.They are talking about V8, V12 Hybrid.. Who… Continue reading 2007 Lexus LS

This is a so called concept. But it is pretty much what you’ll be able to get next year as the Previa, if you live in Europe. Or the Estima in Japan.A hybrid version will also be offered. I just wish we had this instead of the sad looking Sienna they sell in the US…… Continue reading Toyota Previa/Estima

It would be about time. The current model is pretty much a clone of the Ford Galaxy. And old!The next one is said to be based on the new Passat platform. And this German illustration does show some Passat details. But, of course, we won’t see it. Instead, VW jsut made a deal with Chrysler… Continue reading New VW Sharan

I usually don’t care much for “concept teases”.. But this one seems to be just a wagon version of the next TT.So, just imagine a coupe roofline, and you pretty much have it. I think even the interior is as close to the production model as it can be.The Concept is even powered byt the… Continue reading Audi Shooting Brake, Concept

Here is another shot of the new ES.You can’t see much with all the cardboard, but at least, you can tell it won’t have these “half way to the windshield” headlights anymore. And you can tell it’s not the Camry… Later I will post a picture of the all new 2007 LS.

The top photo is from a test mule for the next Altima.They are using the Japanese Nissan Teana body for this. But…. This interior shot shows a different dash than the Teana.Not Teana, yet not quite Altima.(bottom)… Could it be the next Altima, new for 2007? In other news, the Hybrid version will use the… Continue reading 2007 Nissan Altima

Just like clockwork, one year after a new Civic, comes a new CRV… From Japan, this picture (not sure if it is an illustration or not) shows a much more modern CRV that doesn’t look much bigger than the current model . Unlike the new Rav4. The roomier interior will also feature an additional digital… Continue reading Untitled Post

Just a nice detail on the all new 2007 ES.It will be available with a “glass roof” option for the 1st time. It is actually, just like the one in the Mercedes E class, a double sunroof, where only the 1st one opens up. This option was supposed to be available on the RX, but… Continue reading 2007 Lexus ES

Just another shot of a semi-covered new Camry. The front end is more visible this time around. Althought we’ve alredy seen the whole car from photos taken at that presentation a few months ago… 2007 will be a great year for whoever needs to buy a new mid size sedan. With already good choices like… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Camry

Don’t get exited, this is just a concept. And it doesn’t look to me ready for production any time soon. A mix of retro and modern, and kind of a throwback to a distant era (like the late 80’s) when Nissan designs were really square and boring… It’s almost a charicature of these cars. By… Continue reading Nissan Foria
