• 2007 Toyota Camry

    Very early pictures of the next Camry were presented to a few “lucky ones” at some banquet a few days ago.And from what I can see, they have another super best seller on their hands. It looks more modern than most other mid sized sedans on the US market. A really big step forward from… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Camry

  • Honda StepWagon

    Usually, I am not too interested in these weird small square vans only sold in Japan.But this new Honda has 2 interesting points:First, the interior floor is made to look like an actual hardwood floor! I have never seen this in any production car before.And that’s a really new idea from “ultra conservative ” Honda.I… Continue reading Honda StepWagon

  • 1965 Oldsmobile

    Nothing new here. Just a cool picture of times long gone.The car is nothing to look at, actually. But the whole picture tells a story of a time when the future looked bright. Olsdmobile itself is not even here anymore!

  • Willis Subaru

    That’s right, the man who pretends to be an actor sells Subarus in Japan. Nothing new, his buddy George Clooney sells Toyotas over there. It’s a “lost in translation” world. It is kind of a joke to even think this former New York bartender actually drives a sensible car like a Subaru. He strikes me… Continue reading Willis Subaru

  • Audi A3 Cabrio???

    Rumors from Germany: Audi might be planing a convertible version of the new A3.That would actually compete with the upcoming Volvo convertible based on the S40.But I think, unlike these computer generated illustrations, Audi would be smart enough to offer a folding hardtop, just like Volvo, Ford, Peugeot, Renault and VW.

  • More on the Porsche Cayman

    The more I see it, the more it looks like a Chinese copy of a Porsche to me…It just looks way overdone. Nothing like the great looking new 911. It makes the new $45000 Boxter look better and better every day.

  • 2006 New Beetle!

    What’s weird about this, is the fact they are trying to get away from the “roundness” of the design.But that’s what a Bug is: round!The front turn signals lost their oval style. The squared off elements (like the fenders and bumpers) don’t really match the look, or personality of the car anymore..The interior is the… Continue reading 2006 New Beetle!

  • Porsche Cayman

    Cayman, not caveman…This “all new” model is actually the coupe version of the Boxter convertible.The 2 seater has more luggage room than the convertible, thanks to a hatch.And it has a new 3.4 Liter engine with almost 300hp.Not sure about the pricing so far. The base price in Germany is just above 50 000 Euros.That… Continue reading Porsche Cayman

  • Aston Martin V8 Vantage

    This is an amazing looking car. Just like the DB9, it really represents what the brand is about. Sport and luxury. No one else does it better. Plus it has that James Bond magic link! It is just too bad that, because of a weak dollar, the car will be more like $120 000 in… Continue reading Aston Martin V8 Vantage

  • 2006 Peugeot 307

    This is the convertible CC model. But all the 307 models will have the new front end next year. (top pic)I am not sure what is the point of this.(except to make it look like the rest of the line up…) The 307, especially the CC, is one of the best looking compact in Europe… Continue reading 2006 Peugeot 307

  • 2006 VW Bedouin

    Another easy name to pronounce for the US market… This photo based illustration pretty much shows what the Golf based SUV will look like.Set to come out in September in Europe. No word on when it’ll get here. You can bet the great 2.0 Liter Turbo will be at the party. Just like the Touareg,… Continue reading 2006 VW Bedouin

  • Mitsuoka Le Seyde!

    That’s right. The name sounds vaguely French, but it doesn’t mean anything.At all…The only thing close to this is the old Clenet car from the 70’s. Actually from a Frenchman (Alain Clenet) based in Santa Barbara.That would maybe explain the weird connection. I cannot really make out what it’s based on. A production japanese car… Continue reading Mitsuoka Le Seyde!

  • Audi Q7

    This time it’s official.The Touareg cousin from Audi is out. And looking just like… An Audi wagon!!!Nothing special.The usual Audi engines.. Blah blah blah…And the great interior finish… Who’s next now.. Bentley???

  • Ssang Yong

    Korean SUV maker Ssang Yong is coming out with a new Musso model for 2006. This pic is the Korean market model “Kyron”.It should be on sale in Europe by November and seats 7. They have never sold a car in the US, so far. They used to belong to Daewoo a few years ago.… Continue reading Ssang Yong

  • Secret Box…

    What’s in the box??? That’s right, a toilet seat!Now you can turn your SUV into something usefull!Works on 12V and costs aroung $500 in Europe. If someone is looking for a quick way to make money in the US, importing these would be a good idea…

  • Suzuki Escudo

    Even thought it kind of looks like it, it is not based on the Saturn Vue platform.It should be replacing the Grand Vitara in the US line up. And it is available with the 2.7Liter V6. It looks OK, but it is nothing special really. The steering wheel and shifter are very Mazda. So are… Continue reading Suzuki Escudo

  • Mitsubishi Galant

    Don’t panic. Thid is the version that Mitsubishi will soon start selling in the Chines/Tawain market.This is, again, not for us.And that’s pretty weird. It is, after all, based on the US version of the Galant. You can tell the profile is the same.I think this would actually sell much better in the US than… Continue reading Mitsubishi Galant

  • Mitsubishi L 200

    Don’t you think this super modern looking compact pick-up truck would be welcome in Mitsubishi’s US line up???After all, arent’ they spending hundreds of millions trying to appeal to the “young crowd”???Well, the brains at Mitsubishi don’t think so. The all new L200 will only be seen in various Asian countries.. The “old’ L200 was… Continue reading Mitsubishi L 200

  • 2006 Saturn Vue

    What the Hell???The Vue is, for now , the best and simplest looking Saturn. But for 2006, GM is changing all that!That new front end looks horrible! they do what they do best: mess with a good thing… What are these guys thinking? Looks like a bunch of designers worked on it at the same… Continue reading 2006 Saturn Vue

  • 2007 Ford 500

    Sales are picking up, but not that much.Responding to critics and low numbers, Ford will revise their large sedan in a little over a year.That also should include the new 3.5 Liter V6.That engine should end up in the Mustang, Zephyr and as an option on the Fusion as well. The current 500 is one… Continue reading 2007 Ford 500

  • Maybach Coupe

    As I mention often. I am not into these super expensive cars. I am more interested into what people actually drive.But this does look much more interesting than the bland Maybach sedan. I actually saw a couple of them around Hollywood. And it is completelly invisible. Unlike the new Rolls Royce. For over $300 000,… Continue reading Maybach Coupe

  • 2006 Renault Twingo?

    Let’s hope not. The Twingo should be much more original than this. Just like the current one when it came out.This looks like something VW or Toyota would put out. We’ll see…

  • 2006 Honda Civic (US)

    From Japan we get this early preview of what the Civic Sedan (the one we’ll get over here) will look like in a few months.It is larger, and much more modern looking, thank God… But it is still not nearly as good looking as the hatchback Europe and Japan will get.Engines are rumored to be… Continue reading 2006 Honda Civic (US)

  • 2006 Chevy HHR prices
