| It sounds like the Magnum will be marketed as a muscle car for men and available only with V8. Not exactly what I'm after. | |

I'd like to see a lighter, sportier Pacifica. V6 would be fine. -juice |

Said to be debuting at Detroit's Auto show, a new Small Crossover concept from Nissan. I would think the production version will look more along the lines of the C-Note concept or last years Evalia and Almera concepts. This sketch reminds me a bit of the Kia Slice 6 passenger crossover concept from last year. Priced right (i.e. well below the Quest), it could be high on my wish list. http://www.autoindex.org/news.plt?no=613# |

I don't like it. There are hardly windows on that thing. The wheels are seriously 4 times bigger than the windows! 20" rims, so 5" windows? -juice |

....where they tend to over-exagerate wheels, tires and other features. I've seen some sketch drawings of Honda and Mazda models that look nothing like the real concepts/production models when they come out. Go to www.mazda.ca for example, click on Vehicles, Mazda3, Fun Stuff and then "gallery" to see sketches of the Mazda3 vs. the real thing. (the photos are macromedia flash so I can't give you a direct link). I think you'll see what I mean. (BTW, the "greenhouse" doesn't look much different than the new Dodge "headroom-impared" Magnum) |

Yeah, good point. Concepts are also exaggerated compared to production vehicles. Even so, the basic shape looks like a door stop. Too dust-buster "Lumina APV" and not enough Murano-type style. -juice |

I guess we'll just have to wait for the Detroit show. It may look closer to this:http://www.edmunds.com/news/autoshows/articles/92552/page011- .html or the future Almera concept I can't seem to find a reference too.......may be back earlier in this topic. |

| Popular Mechanics (latest issue) is reporting that we will get a version of the Toyota Corolla Verso4 in 2006 to slot in between the Matrix and the Rav-4, as Toyota perceives there is a hole in their lineup there. They're (PM) showing a Corolla Verso with some RAV-4 styling touches grafted on. While I do believe there ARE some holes in Toyota's lineup (say, between the Matrix and the Sienna, which could be filled by the Wish or Avensis Verso), there's very little wiggle room between the Matrix and RAV-4, unless they're going to grow the next version of the Rav-4. And the Corolla Verso is really just a Japanese version of the Matrix anyway....ie. a somewhat tall 5 passenger hatch/wagon.........unless the 2006 version to be called the Verso4 would be a 6 seater to compete with Nissan's "Small Crossover" concept.....then it might make sense. | |

Automotive News reported that Canadians will be receiving the Chevrolet Vivant, a derivative of the Daewoo Tacuma/Rezzo. It's already being sold under that moniker in other markets. It will be the third model (after Epica and Optra) that Chevrolet is selling in Canada and not the US. Lucky us. http://www.wheels24.co.za/Wheels24/NewModels/0,,1369-1374_1427680- ,00.html |
