2006 Opel Astra “Twin Top”
Just after Volvo introduced their new C70, Opel is showing us official picures of the new convertible Astra.And it looks great. maybe even better than the Volvo. The Volvo is now rumored to cost about $35 000 in the US. A major scam!It is based on the $24 000 S40. And should not cost $11… Continue reading 2006 Opel Astra “Twin Top”

2006 Mercedes S class AMG
Nothing I’m really into. Overpowered full sized sedans…But the new AMG version of the S class will be the AMG63 ( I would guess that stands for a 6.3Liter engine…) with an amazing 510 Hp!!!!No one needs it outside of Germany, where you can drive as fast as you can.. By the way, is the… Continue reading 2006 Mercedes S class AMG

2006 Honda Civic Coupe Si
Any day now we should have official pictures of the new Civic for the US. While the Sedan is a horrible mix of the old model and the new European one, (the front doors anf hood) the US Coupe is actually pretty nice looking.And modern too. They are repeating the mistake they made with the… Continue reading 2006 Honda Civic Coupe Si

2006 jaguar Xk interior
A great car for sure. Maybe the best Jaguar ever.But like the exterior, the interior isn’t that special anymore.At least, the production model (above) adds wood to the concept interior (below).Jags do need wood…

2006 European Honda Civic
Without a doubt, one of the most modern car on the market. And the only Japanese design able to compete with European cars like the 307 or the Megane.The horrible thing is… We won’t get it. This is a spy shots of the US Civic. I think it is too early to tell if both… Continue reading 2006 European Honda Civic

Rover saved! Really?
Seems like the Chinese bought the last British car maker.The Nanjing Automobile company should be the new owner of Rover and MG if everything goes according to plans.They bought the rights to the Rover 25 and 75. Not the 45. This model is based on an old Honda Civic and the rights are still owned… Continue reading Rover saved! Really?

2006 Honda Pilot
Just when you thought they couldn’t make that thing any uglier. Well, it can be done. Just look at this squared off mess! Amazing…

Fiat Punto
These are early photos of the all new Fiat Punto.It is much more modern than the current version. And a very important for Fiat’s future.A huge chunk of their profits comes from that model. Kind of like the F150 for Ford.It will be presented in September. The current Punto. Ruined a couple of years ago… Continue reading Fiat Punto

Fiat Sedici SUV
This is pretty much what the all new compact SUV from Fiat will look like when it goes on sale in Europe early next year.It is basically a Suzuki design. The Japanese brand will also sell their own version.We’ll never get the Fiat, but let’s hope Suzuki adds this little thing to their US line… Continue reading Fiat Sedici SUV

2007 Toyota Camry
The next Camry has been testing in the desert for a while.The best camouflage feature? The big Honda logo up front!!Isn’t that a riot?!?!! It is pretty funny to see people all over the web discussing the “new” Camry photos of the camouflaged prototypes. When a few weeks ago, these pictures were available.Showing the whole… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Camry

2006 Kia Sorento
The Sorento SUV will get some changes for next year.From this picture, it is obvious we can expect a new front end and rear hatch/lights/bumper design.And they also covered the steering wheel! Maybe that’s the only news about the interior…It might also move to a 3.8Liter V6.Which will do no good as far as the… Continue reading 2006 Kia Sorento

VW Bedouin
Just one more illustration of what the Golf based SUV might look like.Let’s hope this one is close.It looks far better than the Touareg. That thing looked old even before it came out! And let’s hope also, that VW has finally learned how to make cars that don’t need a monthly dealer fix!

Next Hyundai Equus
The next large RWD V8 Hyundai is already testing in Korea.And it is heading our way!Not sure yet if it will be sold as a Hyundai, or if they will create a other Luxury brand to distribute the car.That would involve massive investment… This is the current Equus. I had the change to ride in… Continue reading Next Hyundai Equus

Peugeot 407 Coupe
Another good angle for the new Coupe.There are always talks about Peugeot coming back to the US. The latest rumors came last month.But I wouldn’t hold my breath. They are making so much money in Europe, they don’t really need to spend a fortune re-establishing themselves in the US…It’s just too bad…
-
Chevy Montana
No, it’s not the (barely) redesigned minivan we have here in the US. Actually a Pontiac.This little thing is for Brazil, and it is based on the local version of the Opel Corsa.So you know it is small.But, don’t you think this could make a really cool entry level truck over here?How about under $12000?… Continue reading Chevy Montana

Cars, nerds, and girls…
I wasn’t too crazy about this new version of the Batmobile.I usually don’t like trucks. And it looks like one.But after seeing the movie, I think it is the Perfect Batmobile. The best one yet, and the only one that is actually explained to us.If you can’t afford the real thing, this replica will set… Continue reading Cars, nerds, and girls…

2006 Ford Fusion
Just a quick reminder of how good looking it looks. (for an unasuming under $20 000 family sedan).And that should spell trouble for the new Sonata…

Cars, nerds and more…
Every year, in San Diego, Geeks and nerds from all corners gather to the Comic Con.I have to admit, I was on of them this year. I hadn’t been there in over 10 years.I was, of course, interested in seeing what kind of cars were on the floor.This was a really nice looking full sized… Continue reading Cars, nerds and more…

2006 Pontiac Solstice
Here is proof that the Solstice might just be the best looking $20 000 out there. Whenever it actually comes out.This looks to be the base version, without leather seats or automatic. Unless it turns out to be 100% crap, ( it doesn’t look like it) it should be very tough competition to the new… Continue reading 2006 Pontiac Solstice

2006 Mustang Pony
The Pony is a $1,195 option package available on the V6 coupe and convertible.It adds all the changes you see here, new grille, 17inch wheels, stripe etc…I think it makes the car look even more retro. Not a bad thing.The real changes I would love to see are a sunroof available on the coupe, and… Continue reading 2006 Mustang Pony

Volvo C70
That’s right, they are using the “old” name for this all new model. Go figure.The Old convertible was based on the larger S70 model.This one is based on the small S40. Let’s hope they’ll “pass the savings on us”. Right? Engines are the same as the sedan and wagon versions. All 2.5Liter engines. With 170… Continue reading Volvo C70

2007 Renault Laguna
Hold on! These are just illustrations. So it just might look like that, or not… The Laguna has always looked pretty modern, so these ideas seem realistic to me.And Renault will offer the new Laguna in more body styles than the current model, which should mean this coupe. They already offer a wagon on top… Continue reading 2007 Renault Laguna

New Volvo Convertible
Hre is the 1st official picture of the new Volvo convertible. It is now based on the S40 sedan and is a bit smaller than the current C70.It looks like the interior is also pretty much the same. So nothing really all new.The folding hard top should be making headlines at least in the US.… Continue reading New Volvo Convertible

You can almost see cars in the background… By the way, what car are YOU waiting for the most… Continue reading Slow news day…(Again)
