This is a good point. Nissan definitely could have done it better. Even so, I'm happy to see a Murano Cabriolet introduced mid-cycle than no Murano Cabriolet at all. Read more

Why all the hate for the Murano CrossCabriolet? I mean, sure, it's hideous, overpriced, and almost entirely useless, but isn't it the kind of insane, daring thing we always want automakers to actually try? I'd much rather see Nissan building these things than another beige Altima. At least they tried something… Read more

10/10, would buy. If I continue to send unsolicited emails to Volvo, do you think they'll actually build one of their concepts? Read more

Unfortunately the 850 T-5 R and original V70 R were only offered in the US with automatics, making the manual option on the second V70 R the exception, not the rule. Read more

Is that an R badge on the back of the black coupe?? The exhausts seem a little different too... Read more

Poor Mitsubishi. Can't even spell aggressive right :(

But with the tail lights from an 850. Read more

Ah I thought that might be the case. That being said, I still think being surrounded by a group of angry motorcyclists who "just want to know what happened" would understandably cause some people to panic. Read more

“No biker became aggressive with the driver after the incident,” said Mr. Towles, who belongs to a Brooklyn motorcycle club. “People were just trying to find out what just happened.” Read more

Was just about to post a link to that. Very pleased. Looks like it could be a great looking car. Guess we'll know in a few days. Read more

I'm inclined to say Volvo. Read more

Beat me to it. Manages to be ugly and cheap looking in a car that is otherwise neither of these things. I really hope they offer something else... Read more

I can't say I'd be surprised either. Volvo is great at squandering opportunities (see: V40 not in U.S.). Read more

I want so bad for Volvo to do something right (a.k.a. use this opportunity to introduce the XC90), but given their reputation for foolish decisions this looks increasingly like it's just an XC60 to me. Read more

Indeed. It was a compromise. We were shopping for cars for the summer and I said "2004 V70R MT!" and my parents said "There's an XC70 right here." Read more

I see your point, but there are enough small details that it makes me wonder. The wheel arches seem to have a lot more definition, the lower grille accent like you mentioned, the surface of the hood... (though it's hard to tell with this quality picture) Read more

It would appear you're right. But I bet they only did it by accident. Read more

I very much appreciate you posting this because I got a 2005 Volvo XC70 today. I sent this picture to my brother and said "this is what I am going to do with it." Read more

They finally figured out how to make their new "Truck Face" design theme work! It only took ruining the SL, messing up the front of the CLA, and making the SLK look pretty awkward. Congrats, Mercedes.

I generally love Audi's design, but the front of the A8 is a gaudy mess. It's like they asked "How large can we make a grille? How much chrome can we put on it?" Read more
