That still looks a little weird and overdone to me… Even without the “all wood” steering wheel, there is still just too much of that wood on the flat looking dashboard.It still reminds me of some Korean car somehow… It looks very nicely done and all, but…I guess I still like the current model’s interior… Continue reading More new Passat details

Nissan will show this sport concept at the New York auto show.And I think this might just be a preview of the next Sentra, A.K.A Sunny in Japan. Just imagine the same design without the “crazy” concept touches like the spoilers, side skirts, mirrors etc…This would mean the Sentra replacement (whatever the name ends up… Continue reading Next Sentra Concept?

The Forfour sedan should be the best seller in the US.Barely longer than a Mini Cooper, it seats 5!The interior is the least original of all the Smart models. Even thought it is the newest…But it still has the cool option of a glass roof, leather etc…And you can fold both front seats forward. Party!!!!… Continue reading Smart Forfour

Nothing “all new” here…A slight alteration to a pretty conservative design.The front end is supposed to make it look like the other VWs. Like the new Jetta and Paasat.But there is no chrome. So it ends up NOT looking like the others…What’s the point of that really…And the wheels on this upscale model now look… Continue reading “New” VW Polo

It’s really too bad they still can’t move away from that crappy image they have in the US.These cars have been getting better and better.But as they get better, their designs are getting to be really bland. Compared to other European models, that is… The top pictures are of the all new Croma. Their largest… Continue reading New Fiats

That’s right!Mercedes now claims that the $25000 B Class would have to be more like $30000!All due to the weak dollar. And they “would not be able to make a profit on that”… That is just too bad. The B Class was designed with the US market in mind.And a decision about Smart is coming… Continue reading No B Class for US !!!

The coolest model in the Smart line up is the Roadster/Convertible.The roadster is a hatchback.They are available with the same small 3 cylinder turbo engines. Or, at least in Europe, a V6!!!Which must turn that thing into a beast.But that’s not really the point. I sat in one a couple of years ago, and it… Continue reading Smart Roadster

If Lexus claims to be after perfection, Citroen can always claim to be different. Good for them!!! If the C6 rear looks a bit heavy, even clumbsy, well, that’s OK. The old DS and CX looked pretty wierd when they came out, back in the late 50’s and mid 70’s…At least it doesn’t look like… Continue reading More Citroen C6 pictures.
