• S Class details

    This is a nice one. That door design, with the super nice aluminum finish and wood looks very classy and futuristic at the same time. This is the nightmare.Having to go to the computer screen to use the radio. They copied that form the dreadfull BMW iDrive system. A horrible idea… Notice how easy it… Continue reading S Class details

  • 2006 Saab 9.5

    Why even bother… That car looked outdated when it came out!So years later, no one even knows it is still around.New (and even older looking) tail lights, even a revised front end or new interior bits aren’t going to boost the sales. A complete waste of money…

  • Ford SAV production

    The SAV concept introduced a few months ago will go into production at the end of this year.It will be replacing the aging Ford Galaxy minivan in Europe. And they might call it the D Max.Because it is a size larger than the Focus based C Max. Duh…It should be really close to this concept,… Continue reading Ford SAV production

  • Saturn Signum?

    How about it?A “wagon” version of the upcoming Aura. That would be nice and I bet would work too.Without spending too much money, GM could have a great looking 5 door version of the new Saturn. Think of it as a smaller, more civilized version of the Dodge magnum…

  • 2006 Mercury Milan price

    The Milan will start at $18 995. $1000 more than the ford cousin, the Fusion.I am not sure what equipment you get for the extra $1000. But that price does includes delivery.What you get is actually an even better looking car than the Fusion. And the similar interior is a bit more upscale, thanks to… Continue reading 2006 Mercury Milan price

  • 2006 Mazda 6

    These are pictures of the japanese version of the Mazda6. But the subtle changes will appear here before the fall.The black lacker finish, similar to the RX8, gives the interior a touch of class. And makes the whole thing look more expensive.A great car gets even better. I hope they are now offering a 5… Continue reading 2006 Mazda 6

  • 2006 Ford Fusion price

    The all new Fusion will start at $17 995 in the US. That is a great price for a really good looking car!It is based on the Mazda6. And even uses the same engines.I drove a 6 for a few days last month (more on that later) and I loved it.The 2.3 Liter was smooth… Continue reading 2006 Ford Fusion price

  • Mitsubishi L 200

    In this country, where trucks almost outsell cars, you would think every car maker would try to offer everything they have in that segment.Mitsubishi’s idea is to sell a slightly redesigned version of the Dodge Dakota. I just drove a Dakota for a couple of days, and that is not something I would be proud… Continue reading Mitsubishi L 200

  • Alfa Romeo 159

    Nothing brand new. We’ve seen it before.But I just wanted to take another look at what we’re missing in the US. Because GM and Fiat couldn’t get their acts together. So what we have instead, is the new 3 series… This new Alfa looks so much better. They could have been the new Audi in… Continue reading Alfa Romeo 159

  • Clio 3 details

    This is one well thought out small car.What a difference with the cheap stuff we get over here. We have our pick of small, uninspired Korean cars. Or the old Focus, which has now the ugliest and cheapest interior on the market.This small Renault’s interior is better than almost anything sold over here. Including much… Continue reading Clio 3 details

  • 2006 S Class

    On these official pictures, the new S class looks pretty nice.Mercedes has done a much better job than BMW at modernizing their designs.This car is still classy and tasteful. I can’t say the same about the 7 series.Most new BMWs are clumzy tortured designs. This is modern, but still very elegant. It is just too… Continue reading 2006 S Class

  • 2006 Audi Q7

    Nothing new here. But the Touareg/Cayenne based Audi SUV is getting closer to production.They are already filming commercial in north America. And It is hard to tell if it’s in the US or Canada. Most of these “generic down town areas” look the same. Looks like they are pushing the “on road qualities” of the… Continue reading 2006 Audi Q7

  • Mercedes S class

    A better picture of the all new S Class for 2006.Looks like they didn’t listen to anyone and went ahead with their version of the iDrive systme from BMW.Nobody prefers using a computer mouse onstead of simple buttons when they drive. This is an insane trend. And the overall interior design looks no better than… Continue reading Mercedes S class

  • Fiat Piccolo Bello

    Kind of a weird surprise from Fiat.They’re supposed to have their new version of the 500 (Trepiuno) out pretty soon. But I guess, even that isn’t small enough.So this super small Picollo is supposed to compete with the redesigned Smart Fortwo coming out sometime next year.But the Fiat can seat 4. And it has a… Continue reading Fiat Piccolo Bello

  • 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I have to admit, the PT Cruiser has been one of my favorite cars since it came out. Even before!I couldn’t believe Chrysler could actually produce such a cool looking car. I almost bought one, after all the “dealer gouging craze” that is…The 2006 revision doesn’t bring anything great outside. New lights anf bumpers don’t… Continue reading 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser

  • New renault Clio

    We also saw this car before. But these are officials.And it is a big step from the current Clio. I had the chance(or not) to ride in a Clio a couple of years ago, and was surprised how cheap everything looked and felt!This one looks to be much, much better.The interior seems fantastic for the… Continue reading New renault Clio

  • Subaru Impreza/WRX

    Nothing brand new, we already saw this new front end a few weeks ago. But these are the official pictures. And, as you can see, the interior gets only very minor changes. Which brings the question: why bother???

  • 2006 VW Cabrio testing

    So far so good. It does look like the concept from last year.Which it should.(the concept is the bottom picture)We’ll know for sure in September. And it should be over here next spring.

  • The better choice

    This is one cool car from GM. And, I think, a much better choice than the revised Saturn Vue.Much cheaper too. A loaded one should be around $20 000. And that’s before the unavoidable rebates.And it doesn’t pretend to be an SUV either. It is basically a more modern, roomier and better PT Cruiser.The GM… Continue reading The better choice

  • 2006 Saturn Vue

    I must say, that interior is a huge step forward from the 2005 model. At least in pictures. (and these are very nice pictures)But that front end is a nightmare. They even ruined the look of the “Red Line” sport model, with another version of that horrible front!Who else can design 2 of the ugliest… Continue reading 2006 Saturn Vue

  • Opel Vectra

    The top photos are the new one.And as expected, that new front end looks awfully close to the upcoming Saturn Aura.But they pretty much kept the rest of the car as it was before. Except for the stuff that is cheap to change, like the tail lights, wheels and bumpers. Even less news inside. But… Continue reading Opel Vectra

  • H3 In Europe

    That’s right. You might think this could never work. The continent were small sensible hatchback cars outsell everything else couldn’t possibly want this !Well… GM is trying. But not so hard. First, they only have the gas engine available. Although they claim a 3.0 Liter diesel should come later. They have no chance at all… Continue reading H3 In Europe

  • 2006 VW “new” New Beetle

    I don’t think they “ruined” that great design. But the problem is: why even bother???The New Beetle is one of the best car designs out there and there is no good reason to move away from the original 1994 “Concept one” design.Why try to make it more angular? Isn’t the “Bug ” the one car… Continue reading 2006 VW “new” New Beetle

  • Ssang Yong Kyron

    These are the official shots of the new Ssang Yong SUV. It looks pretty nice, and much, much better than some of their other offerings…It even has now an independant rear suspension!And, like most other Ssang Yong, uses a Mercedes diesel engine, In this case, the 2.7 Liter with 176hp.Sales in Europe should start soon… Continue reading Ssang Yong Kyron

  • 2006 Saturn Vue

    Am I the only one thinking this is an aberation???The new front end (above), to me, ruins the whole design. This was one of the more attractive car based SUVs. More chrome isn’t the answer to everything.They keep changing what doesn’t need to be changed. Remember the Pontiac Fiero? Complains about the car were many:… Continue reading 2006 Saturn Vue
