Nice pics Mr T


The new Mitsubishi Diamante is certainly an interesting looker- and I hear that they are doing AWD versions at the moment very nice indeed- Not so impressive is the new Galant- which is ugly and clumsy looking- however the Lancer Sportback looks like it's a serious contender for the all-conquering Renault Scenic- or event he Megane Station wagon.

The Mercedes Benz CLK convertible looks stunning as does the Mini Cooper S Works (By the late John Cooper's tuning house of course) the Nissan Titan is ugly, the Pathfinder Amarda is stunning, the 350Z roadster is plain drop-dead gorgeous, the replacement for Toyotas evergreen Prius looks set to be better then what it replaces, the 911 GT3 , Saab 9-3 Convertible, Maserati Spyder Vintage, Volvo VVC and Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge Stradale show that the Europeans aren't the least bit behind.


The Chrysler 300C is Bellisimo, teh Malibu Maxx is hideous, the Isuzu Ascender will do the faltering Isuzu brand no favours- but the Bighorn/Trooper has to go, the Ford Escape Hybrid id indeed an interesting concept, the Navigator is ugly and excessive, while the Cadillac CTS barely raises the bar in the otherwise poor Cadillac range.

and by the looks of the Kia Almanti- Hyundai should be on the look-out for Daimler-Chrysler lawyers

I think the Nissan Titan looks cool. It's really got some nifty Utilitarian parts to it, too. Not to mention that the engine size is HUGE!!!! It sounds like a decent beast, and looks pretty decent while it's at it.

The Prius still looks like a retarded Echo, but I know from experience that the forest-green Prius will move right along.

I'll drool over ANY 350z, no matter how many people tell me they don't like how it drives. I even tried to recruit a number of 350z owners this past weekend. A fair number of them on the field.

I'm too lazy to critique the rest, but I will say that this upcoming year will be an interesting one.
