Kia Kee concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

James Foxall, 22 October 2007 10:13

This Kia’s called the Kee. Is it the key to a bright future? If you talk to the firm’s design chief Peter Schreyer it is. That grille is the future look of all Kias. He wants the company’s cars to be instantly recognisable from 100 metres away, rather like BMWs or Audis are. And he believes the Kee’s front end ...

Ford Verve concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

James Foxall, 15 October 2007 10:11

Ford Verve? Isn’t that the Fiesta replacement? It certainly is, although by the time it goes on sale in November 2008 it’ll probably be called Fiesta again. Whatever the name, the new car will have a radical new look that’s previewed by this concept model. Ford consulted female buyers and they wanted something that would stand out a bit more ...

Volvo XC60 concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

James Foxall, 09 October 2007 09:27

Volvo already has a couple of off-roaders. What does it need another one for? The Swedes claim that people who want to do off-roady things like driving down dirt tracks and towing horseboxes will go for its XC70 and XC90 models. The XC60 is being aimed at design-conscious townies who want an on-road vehicle with a tiny bit of off-road ...

Infiniti G37 Coupe Sport (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 27 September 2007 09:36

An Infiniti G37? Isn’t that just a posh Nissan 350Z? Yes and no. A lot of the G37’s basics are 350Z-derived, but this is far more than just badge engineering – the Infiniti is a very different beast to the Nissan it’s based on. But to fully understand this car, first we need some context. In America, Infiniti is Nissan’s ...

Mercedes C220 CDI estate (2007) review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ged Maxwell, 19 September 2007 05:30

Ooh, a compact exec estate. What combination of sport/tourer/Avant/wagon is it called? None: the Mercedes C-Class estate is, well, just that. Plain old estate. And the largest premium-class estate at that. How very sensible. Mercedes may have been unusually bold in its approach to the latest C – hacking off the stick-up grille badge for Sport editions, making the chassis ...

Chrysler Nassau concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 13 August 2007 05:52

So, is this the new Chrysler 300C then? In a way, yes. The 300C gets a refresh late this year – and it’s likely to be the last for the popular and increasingly genre-defining American executive car. Replacing it won’t be easy, but the Nassau is a clear statement of intent from Chrysler. It’s based on the current 300C’s 120-inch ...

Ford C-Max H2 ICE (2007) CAR review

Rated 1 out of 51

Ben Oliver, 03 August 2007 09:45

Another hydrogen-powered Focus – what’s the difference between this and the FCV? The H2 ICE stands for hydrogen internal combustion engine. It has the kind of engine you’d recognize - Ford’s global 2.3-litre four-pot, as used in the Mazda 6, among others - but modified to burn hydrogen. Fuel-cell vehicles like the Focus FCV also use hydrogen, but they use ...

Ford Interceptor concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

James Foxall, 23 July 2007 03:38

This Interceptor looks the business, can I buy one? It’s Ford’s take on a super-saloon rival to the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 and BMW M5 and is called the Interceptor after one of the Blue Oval’s US police cars. This new model’s been based around the mechanicals of the latest generation Ford Mustang with a slightly stretched floorpan. It's a concept ...

Kia Exceed Cabrio (2007) concept CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

James Foxall, 10 July 2007 09:15

Sexy car from Kia shock! That’s right. When Peter Schreyer (who oversaw the design of the original Audi TT and new Beetle in his time at the VW group) took over as head of design for the Koreans he identified correctly that the firm needed a halo car - essentially a Kia that would turn people on. Well, this is ...

Dodge Demon Concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Nick Trott, 01 June 2007 08:36

Dodge Demon Roadster. Great name, but this is just a concept car right? For now, yes. But like pretty much all of Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler's concepts, this one is driveable and we have driven it. The Chrysler Group also has a funny habit of putting their concept cars into production, in which case the Demon promises much. It is ...
