2007 “Euro” Corolla Interior
Sorry about the grainy pics, but I thought it might be of some interest anyway.And usually, the interior design does not change much from Europe to the US. As you can see, this one actually looks like it is a Japanese version. But the pictures are of the Hatchback model, which most people would refer… Continue reading 2007 “Euro” Corolla Interior

Nissan Presage
Nissan just revised their US minivan in order to make it a bit more conservative and boost sale.I wonder if they should just send over this new Presage model.It uses the same 3.5 Liter engine, and actually looks more like a minivan version of the Murano. Would this one work better here?

2007 Toyota Solara
Just a few minor tweaks for the Camry based coupe. (Sport model pictured here)A slightly new front end, LED rear lights, a standard MP3 plug inside with bluetooth option. Strangely enough they didn’t upgrade the car to the new 3.5 Liter engine used in the new Camry.The Solara still uses the same 3.3 Liter V6.Toyota… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Solara

Hyundai Accent test drive
Cars like the Hyundai Accent are very important.They are, for many people, their first new car. The big hope that, finally, their car trouble days are over.For many, it will be the first time they make a car payment over a few years.In other words, a first big financial commitment. A few weeks ago I… Continue reading Hyundai Accent test drive

2007 Euro Corolla
Keep in mind, these are actual pictures of the car, not illustrations.It seems to look much better than the sedan version. But is it modern enough to compete in the European market? More later, including “grainy” interior photos…

Next Toyota Crown
At least from these illustration, it looks like Toyota might go after the Mercedes CLS with the redesigned Crown sedan.The Crown shares a lot with our Lexus GS model, so it could never make it over here.It’s kind of too bad.it would make a great Avalon…

Subaru Legacy

2007 Toyota Corolla.
Not much better from that angle, is it? Again, our US model might have different lights. And that might be it…

2007 Chrysler Sebring
Now we can finally see what the front end looks like.These are big headlights… I only saw the interior of a base model in person, and it looked far behind the quality that most of the competition offers.Maybe they want to make that up by offering more style.

2007 Toyota Corolla.
This is the first picture of the new Corolla for 2007.It might be a Japanese version of the sedan.But it should be very very close to the one we’ll get in the US.The current Asian sedan and the US model are almost the same cars, except for the lights and some details.And this is really… Continue reading 2007 Toyota Corolla.

2008/09 Toyota Prius
The Prius just received a few minor updates for 2006.But an all new one in on the way. The new hybrid system will still use a 1.5 Liter engine, but Toyota insiders claim an amazing figure: 95 MPG!!!Even it these numbers are (Like the current model’s official numbers) inflated, that might still mean at least… Continue reading 2008/09 Toyota Prius

BMW Z4 Coupe
I don’t think it is so bad. It’s weird looking, but I do like hatchbacks.Although the Z4 might not have been the best design to turn into a hatch. But the real question is:Is there really a market for this???

New Citroen Picasso
This one looks to be the real thing.. The 2nd generation Picasso should be at the September Paris Auto Show.Another cool and futuristic thing we’ll never see around here.It makes the Mazda 5 look really old…

New Mazda 6
We’ve all seen the picturs of the test mules for the past few weeks.And this illustration seems to be a pretty good prediction. Based on the same platform as the Ford Fusion, the new 6 is larger and roomier than the current one.And with a lot more style.

BMW Future
This is what is planned for the next few years at BMW.As you can see, a new Z8 is in the works.So here is an illustration of what it might look like…

2007 Honda Stream
Just like the CRV, a new Civic based Stream is due next year or so. It is not sure yet if if it will make it to the US. (Some people at Honda really want to)This illustration shows some similarities to the 2007 CRV, which kind of make some sense…

2007 Euro Corolla
That already looks much better than previous illustrations. There is hope. But again, not for us. We’ll get a trunk…
