2007 Ford Mondeo Wagon
|
|
This station wagon concept is a thinly-veiled preview of the new Ford Mondeo that is scheduled to start production in early 2007. The Mondeo, which is not sold in the US, is a key model for Ford in Europe, and if this concept's design is any indication, they have a winner on their hands.... more |

2007 Nissan Qashqai
|
|
It seems the name guys at Nissan have been hanging out with Volkswagen's name guys. The Nissan Qashqai's name (pronounced "kash-kai") is just as clumsy as to spell as the VW Touareg. And like the VW Touareg, the Qashqai is named after a tribe-this time, a nom... more |

2007 BMW X3
|
|
When the BMW X3 debuted back in early 2004, it seemed to be an anachronism: an upscale, premium-branded, premium-priced, small sport-utility. After all, the Land Rover Freelander had landed like a thud in our market and was on its way to hiatus status. It turn... more |

2007 BMW 328i and 335i Sedans
|
|
Yes, you read that right. Only a couple years after their debut, BMW's 325i and 330i four-door sedans are slipping out the door with nary a wave goodbye. Taking their place are the 328i and 335i four-doors-powered by a 220-hp, normally-aspirated 3.0-liter six... more |

2007 Toyota Yaris TS
|
|
The Toyota Yaris has long been one of our favorite small cars. It's cheap, it's goofy, and while it may not be bristling with features, it's at least entertaining to drive. The Yaris TS (based off the Yaris TS Concept shown at Geneva earlier this year) ups the... more |

2006 Suzuki Splash Concept
|
|
Suzuki's Splash makes its first public appearance at Paris '06, and we're not quite sure what to make of it. The Splash is small, it's goofy, and it doesn't really seem to fit our market-but that's ok, because it may not even come here. It's intended to be a H... more |

2006 Renault Nepta Concept
|
|
From the people who brought you such dorkmobiles as the Le Car and the Alliance--and who brought your parents schlock like the Dauphine and the Caravelle (look 'em up)--comes this absolutely gorgeous four-seat convertible concept. The Nepta has not a single dork... more |

2006 Hyundai Arnejs Concept
|
|
Hyundai's Arnejs Concept (pronounced "Arn-ez", as in "Lucy I'm Home!") hints at the design of the forthcoming Hyundai FD. The FD, which Hyundai plans to paunch in the late spring of 2007, is a C-segment car that will compete directly with the VW Golf in Europ... more |

2006 Kia Pro-cee'd Concept
|
|
This concept is the spyglass through which a future, "sporty" version of the Kia cee'd can be viewed. (For details on the production cee'd, which also debuts here in Paris, click here.) With a roofline lower by one inch than the family-oriented four-door cee'd... more |

2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition
|
|
Yes, that's right, the SLR hasn't exactly been selling well. What's that, you say? You mean, if you had $452,750, you wouldn't go buy an automatic-transmission-equipped Mercedes---no matter how cool and pimpy and McLaren-built it was---either? Us too.... more |
