We Caught You (2007 Peugeot 308)








This is the first ever glimpse of Peugeot's 307 replacement. The disguised 407 is infact a 4 door saloon. That was caught in Scandinavia cold-weather testing. The other two pictures show a hatchback version of the 308 undergoing testing in France.

In summer 2005 the French best seller Peugeot 307 underwent a restyling. Now the French car maker is about to develop an all new replacement for the 307, dubbed 308. Formerly the 308 was scheduled for release in 2008, but now Peugeot has decided to show the new model at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor show already.

The fastback version will be the first one to come on the market as four- and two door. Its overall length is said to grow by about 4 cm to 4.25 meters while its height is going to be slightly reduced.

Just like Volkswagen with the “Cross-Golf”, PSA is also hiding an SUV variant of the 308 up their sleeve, however, this one without four wheel drive. A convertible-coupe and a wagon version are expected to follow about a year later.
Power will come from a 2.2 four-cylinder turbo diesel engine delivering 170 HP as well as from the new 1.6 litre fuel injected engine generation delivering between 75 and 170 HP. It was developed in cooperation with BMW. A particularly sporty RC version producing 210 HP is to follow some time later.

First two photos are genuine prototype photos. Only the background and the license plates were altered by computer, not the car itself. The third photo is a computer image giving an artist’s impression of the new model to come. And photos four and five are of a prototype mule in recent cold weather testing in Scandinavia.

New Car: 2007 Volkswagen SpaceFox (Latin America)



These are the offical photographers of vW SpaceFox. The estate is only for Latin America. Similar shaped rear lights to the VW Eos front lights.

We don't know much about the wagon but as soon as we get some info, we'll put it up.

2007 Renault Scenic Facelift Caught




These are the first ever images of Renault upcoming MPV. At the back of the prototype is light taping between the bootlid. The prtotype also shows larger front headlights, bigger, more wider lower grille. The grille could be taken of the Renault Megane Facelift. Rear lights are disguse for some unknown reason.

This facelift will consist of new bumpers (Front and back), lights, grilles and possibly bonnet too. This impression shows what the vehicl could look like when it goes into production.

Its a possibility that this could have been snapped in France. Also the spy images show a Renault Grande Scenic and the impression shows a regular Scenic. It also shares the same platform as the Renault megane so don't be fooled if people say "Renault Megane Scenic.

2007 Jeep Wrangler Left Alone


This 4 door Jeep Wrangler was left alone off-road in America. I think it will have the same lights and bumper, grille etc as the 3 door Wrangler.

I think all it is is just a 3 door Wrangler with 2 extra doors. Not much information is known about this but we keep you posted if any info comes

2007 Jaguar XK-R



Our spy recently caught this 2007 jaguar XK-R Convertible just outside the Nurburgring track. The sports car was undergoing high-speed testing. The coupe and convertible XK cost £58,000 for the basic model. I'm guessing it will cost around £65,000. If ther is anymore information, I will keep you posted

2007 Kia Opirus/Amanti (Facelift)


These seem to be the lastest pictures of Kia's premium sized sedan. It will be up for a facelift this year but could be in production next year.

It is sold everywhere execpt from Europe. Its probably the size of the Hyundai XG30 which didn't sell very well in the UK and Europe. So expect a new bumper, lights, grille, revised interior, new wheel design etc.

2006 Vauxhall Corsa (5 Door)




I know I posted the 3 door Vauxhall Corsa but I haven't post the 5 door so here it is. It will have a very similar profile to the Tigra and the Astra. The 3 and 5 door will duebt at the British Motorshow in July. The 3 door will look different from the 5 door. Here it is in minimal disguise. It could be snapped in Germany undergoing a series of tests.

For the first time an additional side window will be added. The last side window is in disguise but the outline can be seen alsoa smaller front window under disguise will be put on the production model. The mirrors will be place behind the small front window just like the Grande Punto. Based on the Fiat Grande Punto it will be much bigger and wider than the current car. Prices will be similar to the Punto too. The Grande Punto is priced at £7,594 for the base model going all the way upto £12,295.

Hopefully we will be at the British Motorshow on Tuesday 12th July 2006

2006 Citroen C3 Dolce & Gabbana Edition







We don;t know wether these are photoshops but this is a new Citroen C3 Edition called the Dolce & Gabbana. As we all know, they are famous for the line of clothing, sunglasses and accessories. Dolce & Gabbana items are normally very exprensive. These Citroen will be expensive. We are looking at a price tag of £15,000 - £20,000. These are also limited editions so get them while you can...

The Citroen C3 Pluriel suffers from a leak roof, so be cafeful when buying one. They only come in black. It looks stylish and sleek.

2006 Audi TT Prototype Crash

A few weeks ago one of the new TT prototype crashed into a truck in Germany.Audi was on the site within 30 minutes to retrieve the expensive prototype...

2 of the engineers died on site. The prototype was cold weather testing in Germany as it went into the back of a truck. We're not sure how fast the car was going or wether the roads were icy etc.

Our thoughts are with the engineers families and friends
