• BMW 5 Touring

    At the Detroit show, BMW will present the new wagon version of their 5 series sedan. As you can see, it couldn’t be less original. Just a straight wagon version of a sedan. Nothing like what the Dodge Magnum is to the Chrysler 300. .. Engines are the same too. But now, all wheel drive… Continue reading BMW 5 Touring

  • Ford Fairlane

    This is for now, as you can see, a concept. But it is based on the same platform as the Ford Fusion, Lincoln Zephyr/2006 Aviator and the next Mazda 6. So we’ll see a production version sometime next year. I guess almost every Ford brand will have sedans and SUVs based on this. So far,… Continue reading Ford Fairlane

  • Infiniti Kuraza

    Well. Let’s hope this one doesn’t translate into a production model. Infiniti already has a Large, clumbsy looking SUV, and I don’t think they need to add another one. Especially one that looks like a horse carriage. But we have to give them some credit. At least they are trying something new. It doesn’t look… Continue reading Infiniti Kuraza

  • 2006 Lincoln Zephyr.

    Well…. That doesn’t seem too bad, until you remember the “Zephyr concept” from last year! The interior isn’t that different, but just enough! It just isn’t as nice as the concept (bottom). The nice detailing is just not there anymore! It looks really cheap. Like a horrible mistake was made. And what happened there?!?! Where… Continue reading 2006 Lincoln Zephyr.

  • 2006 Mustang Convertible

    On this official picture, we can see there are no surprises … A straight convertible. A good design looking even better. It’s too bad they put the convertible switch on the overhead console, where it’s harder to reach than let’s say, between the front seats. And opening the top requires 2 latches. Like the Sebring.… Continue reading 2006 Mustang Convertible

  • Mercury Meta one

    This concept shows what the Mercury version of the Ford Freestyle would look like. And just like the Mariner, the Mercury version of the Escape, it looks much, much better than the Ford. Even though changes are minimals. Mostly trim, front and rear end. The Concept is powered by a hybrid diesel/electric engine. That would… Continue reading Mercury Meta one

  • 2006 Audi A3

    This is nothing new in Europe, but this is the 5 door version of the A3 we’ll be getting in the US. One of the rare small European hatch we’re lucky to actually get! It actually looks more interesting than the 2 door. Audi has mentioned they will sell these at around $25000 to start.… Continue reading 2006 Audi A3

  • Pontiac G6 coupe/convertible

    Nothing super new here. That picture is a scan from an official Pontiac brochure. But the big news isn’t the coupe, but the convertible. It is the 1st US branded affordable hard top convertible… That means the next Sebring will have to compete by also using a hard top convertible. The G6 sedan is a… Continue reading Pontiac G6 coupe/convertible

  • 2005 Mustang video

    That’s right, you are not dreaming! That is Steve McQueen driving the all new 2005 Mustang. (although he’s been dead since 1980!) They couldn’t have found a better spoksman for that car! Find out the whole story at: https://www.ford.com/

  • 2006 Explorer interior?

    This is actually a shot of the Sport trac concept interior. But the sport trac always used the same interior than the Explorer it’s based on. So it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the redesigned Explorer interior could be the same as the new sport trac’s…And this looks production ready to… Continue reading 2006 Explorer interior?

  • More 2006 Passat

    Here are a couple extra photos of the all new Passat. It looks a bit simpler than the previous photos which had a lot of color reflexions on the car. But still, not really 8 years more modern than the outgoing model. Engines for the US should be the 2.0Liter Turbo with 200hp, and a… Continue reading More 2006 Passat

  • Kia Large SUV

    Kia is thinking of adding a larger truck based SUV to its lineup. So does Hyundai, owner of Kia. This is a first look at what it could actually look like. That would make it more attractive than any of the horible looking beasts out there… Let’s hope they don’t stray too much from this… Continue reading Kia Large SUV

  • More 2006 Jetta/Bora

    The Jetta is again, a Golf with a trunk. As you can see on these photos, it doesn’t have its own interior. Both cars are about the same inside. But the Jetta being more expensive, adds wood and aluminum trim on some models.

  • Nissan Azeal

    the Azeal is for now, a Concept. BUT….. It looks like it actually is based on the new generation Sentra that is scheduled for fall 2005. The small coupe will have its own design, different from the regular sedan. And maybe even its own name. Like 250ZX. It would use the 2.5 Liter now used… Continue reading Nissan Azeal

  • Mustang girls

    In honor of the all new Mustang, I’ve decided to share with you these ads for the 1971 model. I love that fastback design… The good old guys at Ford weren’t shy about using that “if you drive this, the girls will come” idea… And yes, again, the car drove off road to the beach!!!… Continue reading Mustang girls

  • Mitsubishi Colt Cabrio

    This is another great looking car from Mitsubishi that they won’t send to the US. You would think that a desperate brand would try everything they can to sell cars on what is their largest market! But they keep selling their best ones overseas. And send us the boring stuff like Lancer or Galant. Or… Continue reading Mitsubishi Colt Cabrio

  • Acura RDX

    The Acura RDX Concept will be shown at Detroit. The production version should be on sale a few months later as a 2006 model. Don’t expect the actual car to look that modern. Honda/Acura has the bad habit of showing unrealistic sketches of their cars before the actually come out. The profile on the front… Continue reading Acura RDX

  • New Kia Rio

    Yeah, right!!! That’s the official rendering from Kia. There is no way a Korean subcompact that costs under $12000 will look like this! We’ll have proof when they show the actual production car in Detroit next month. Don’t these people have any shame??? That’s what the current Rio looks like. And the new one won’t… Continue reading New Kia Rio

  • New Fiat Croma

    The Croma is back. And with it, the “large” Fiat! Like most non-luxury European car makers, Fiat has been struggling when they tried to move into the large, or expensive car territory. Like Renault with the Vel Satis or Peugeot, Opel and Ford. But Fiat thinks it can offer something different in the form of… Continue reading New Fiat Croma

  • More Crossport

    Just a few more pictures of what mazda calls a concept for now. Don’t be surprised if it ends up at your local dealership before 2005 is over. Just imagine smaller wheels (concept’s are 20 inches), real door handles, and inside a normal gear shift on the console. Even the interior looks almost production ready.… Continue reading More Crossport

  • Mazda Crossport

    This is called a concept, for now… It looks to be based on the same platform as the next Mazda 6. Which would make it the mazda equivalent of the 2006 Lincoln Aviator. That should put Mazda back on the map pronto!. A good looking mid sized car based SUV is exactly what the doctor… Continue reading Mazda Crossport

  • 2006 Avalon.

    This is the 1st official photo of the all new Avalon. A teaser really. But we’ve pretty much seen what the car looks like…

  • All new 2006 VW Passat !!!

    This is the 1st official look at the all new Passat for 2006. After 8 years! Finally… Although it doesn’t seem futuristic in any way, it does look classy and upscale. And it is larger too. I don’t know anything about engines availability for the US market yes. Seems to me that the 2.5 Liter… Continue reading All new 2006 VW Passat !!!

  • VW Crossfox

    The Crossfox is the “off road” version of the Brazilian built VW Fox. The Fox is a version of the European VW Lupo. We don’t get the Lupo. We don’t get any VW smaller than the Golf. And that’s not selling to well in the US. Too bad. It seems to me that this little… Continue reading VW Crossfox

  • New Mini engines

    As expected, the Mini Cooper is due for all new engines. The current ones are produced in Brazil at a factory owned by a joint venture between BMW and Chrysler. That’s right, Chrysler. That idea dates back from years ago, when Chrysler wanted to pruduce their own small hatchback for the European market. That idea… Continue reading New Mini engines
