New Car: 2007 Fiat Bravo

On January 29, the new Fiat Bravo will be presented to the international media in Rome, going on the market all over Europe in the following weeks.The model is built in the Piedimonte S. Germano plant (Frosinone), and aims to become a benchmark in the most important segment of the European market. To achieve this goal, the Fiat Bravo has been designed and developed as the ideal synthesis of Beauty and Substance.Beauty as the most up-to-date expression of Italian styleDeveloped by the Fiat Style Centre, the exterior design of the model is unmistakably ‘Italian’, another step forward in the development of the brand’s new stylistic identity.

The new Bravo arouses emotions at first glance, and it welcomes driver and passengers aboard in a passenger compartment where they will appreciate the quality of the materials and the care dedicated to even the smallest detail.The Fiat Bravo cleverly combines a compact five-door body with an extraordinary amount of interior roominess: it is 434 centimetres long, 179 cm wide, and 149 cm high, with a wheelbase of 2.6 metres, and a loading capacity of 400 litres that tops its class.Substance in the form of an innovative, reliable, quality car The Fiat Bravo aims to be a car of ‘substance’, thanks to a lavish array of technological features and quality standards worthy of a higher class where safety, comfort and driving enjoyment are concerned.

The Fiat Bravo is an agile car that is entertaining to drive in every situation, thanks in part to the wide choice of engines, which include the popular turbodiesel 1.9 Multijets (120 and 150 bhp), the 90 bhp 1.4, and a new family of turbocharged T-JET petrol engines (120 and 150 bhp 1.4 Turbo) that now make their debut, combining low consumption and outstanding performance.

Next gen Fiat Doblo caught!

The facelifted model of the Fiat Doblo is on sale now in the UK and Europe but already a replacement is planned.

The commerical van will be designed in Turkey, Bursa and could be built there too.

Prototypes have already been running around in Italy and Turkey.

Judging by the spy picture it will have a curvy front end like the Renault Kangoo and similar radiator grille to the Fiat Grande Punto.

It will be growing in size but should be a similar size to the Renault Kangoo, VW Caddy and Citroen Berlingo.

2007 Skoda Octavia Facelift

It looks like the Skoda Octavia will go under the knife again for its 2nd facelift as this grainy picture shows when the vehicle was parked unattended in a car park in Czech Republic. The current facelifted model came out early this year.

Revised lights, bumpers and grilles will be part of the facelift.

The D-Segment car will take on the Volkswagen Passat, Toyota Avensis, Honda Accord, Vauxhall Vectra etc.

2007 Porsche Cayenne Nearing to Production

That's right! The Porsche Cayenne facelift is nearing to production as many of these prototypes are wearing light red tape over the actual lights. It should be deubting at the Frankfurt Motorshow in 2007.

2007 Renault Laguna III

The 2007 Renault Laguna is now finishing hot-weather testing in Southern Spain and starting cold weather testing.

This heavily disguised prototype was caught in Southern Spain during the hot months of summer. Despite Renaults best effort to disguise the rear lights we think the vehicle could have the rear lights vertically meaning it will go onto the bootlid like the 2006 Volkswagen Passat.

More prototypes have been sighted but this time it was free of heavy camoflague. Prices are set to rise alittle around £15,500 for the basic model. We don't think the 3.0 litre V6 will make it into production but if it does expect to pay around £25,000.

2008 Dacia Logan Station Wagon

Dacia Logan estate snapped testing in the French mountains:

Following Dacia’s step under the roof of Renault in 1998, the Romanian manufacturer has released its first new model, the Logan, in summer 2004. But that appears not to remain the only model of the range.

Rumours suggest a hatchback and we have now an almost production-ready prototype of the estate to follow in late 2006, with a Pickup version likely to follow a year later.
All variants will make use of the pair of engines available for the sedan offered yet today: a 1.4 and a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine developing 75 and 90 bhp respectively.

2007 Hyundai Getz Cross

At first it was a concept and now its going into production. The Hyundai Getz Cross will cost 15,000 Euro's which is around £13,000 to £14,000 GBP. It will go on sale in 2007.

Inside, Hyundai has gone with a blue coulor scheme with blue on the seats, doors and steering wheel.
