Found these on another site. Some nice and some a bit more... err... unique. Anything here take your fancy?

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/alfa-romeo-mito.jpg

The Alfa Mito. Really not sure about this. Meant to go up against the Mini.

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/aston-martin-rapide.jpg

The Astin Rapide. Oh look, they've really put the effort in to make this look new Rolling Eyes Come on, put some effort in! Though this is a 4 door version. Not sure about that.

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/citroen-c3-picasso.jpg
The Picasso has had a bit of a face lift. I personally quite like it, but I can see a lot of people hating it.

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/ferrari-california.jpg

The Ferrari California. Personally I think as Ferrari's go it's a bit of a grunter. Never been a Ferrari fan though.

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/ford-focus-rs.jpg

Focus RS. Chavtastic!

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/1_kia-soul.jpg

Kia's answer to the Picasso above. MY EYES. IT HURTS MY EYES!!!

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/1_lamborghini-gallardo-lp560-4-spyder.jpg

New Gallardo LP 560 spyder. Love it!

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/1_lotus-evora.jpg

The Lotus Evora. I have to love this as I'm from East Anglia. It's a local law around here that you must like the Lotus. I think this thing looks the nuts!

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/nissan-370z.jpg

Nissan 370Z. Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Deah.

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/nissan-cube.jpg

Nissan Cube. Suddenly I quite like the 370Z. This thing look like it's been designed by a kid with a crayon.

https://motoring.sky.com/siteimages/storage/2008123011/porsche-panamera.jpg

Porsche Panamera. A 4 door Porsche. Look at it. It looks like Porsche saw that top gear episode when they made Limo's and though "Not a bad idea, we could do that!"

Anyone seen anything else, good or bad, coming out in the new year? Any new bikes that are looking good?

The Ford KA - Looks like a mix between a Peugeot and a Fiat.

That was mentioned but I thought you'd all have seen that one! Looks a mental car! The only thing that worries me it the amount of it that is hand built.

I just know if I was to ever get one, mine would have been built by some work experience monkey boy!

Looks wise I'm not overly taken with them, but as a piece of engineering, it's stunning.

The new Ka has been designed by Fiat if my sources are to be believed.

Correction it was designed in conjunction with Fiat, alot of the car is Ford, mainly the engines and chassis is shared.
They are also built along side each other (Fiat 500) in Poland.

I quite like the colour of that new Fiesta, Just not sure if I'd pay the extra £500 odd quid for it. Oh, and you can only get the colour on the higher spec cars. The El Cheapo version can't have it!

Good to see it's not just bike manufacturers churning out gut-wrenching designs. Sick

I quite like the looks of the little Mito, but I wouldn't really wanting to drive something so generic underneath, it's pretty much a Punto/Corsa mechanically.

The LP560 Spyder looks smart too, but it's hardly a new design. I also read that the R8 is going to get a proper engine soon, 5.2 FSi.

I think the Lotus has the potential to be a good looking car (Just looks too fiddly IMO opinion at the moment.), and you just know it will drive well.

I honestly can't believe the Panamera got past the 'scrawlings on paper' stage. Sick

The GT-R, incredibly ugly, but I would love to have a go.

I've not seen any new cars that have made me think 'wow' recently. Bad times.

The last car I saw and really liked was the new Scirocco. I know it's just a golf underneath, but for VW to turn round and say "We're making a golf that's less practical and more expensive" Good on em.

Oh, and a new R20 version is on it's way!

That 370z surely must be a joke?! Shocked

Scirocco R20 is nice, though! Cool

My practical choice would be the Accord Tourer, but then again, I do like Honda's.. Thumbs Up

Fiesta, KA and GT-R are 2008 cars seen a few on the roads already.

Scirocco is bland to drive compared to the Golf GTI and has the MK5 interior instead of the new MK6 Golf coming out this month. Thumbs Down

Really like the Scirocco and oddly the Ferrari as I usually can't stand them.

That Porsche thingy looks like the custom one they had in Swissland on Top Gear, except with less bling.

It's horrible Sick

If you go on Youtube loads of people seem to think it will be a really good competitor against the Maserati quattroporte. Hmm, I don't think so. The Porsche is rank Sick

I like the Porsche?

It reminds me of the Jensen Interceptor, I like that too.

Test drive it first, as I said I found it bland even though I like the look of it, the DSG was better but still only a meh from me.

Awh don't crush my dreams! Laughing


Not overly fussed about the drive anyway. I just think it looks bloody phat!


Its either that or a Mk6 Golf. Might consider an A3. But I do love VDubs.

The interior of the Mk6 is very nice compared to the Mk5 and Scirroco, They have had a Mk6 on show at Stafford VW for a month or so now.

Wow - that is exceptionally cool! Looks like a 1950s Le Mans car (old Jag D-type kinda thing) which was made to look futuristic (if you catch my drift). Sorta the same idea as the Morgan AeroMax - a car which looks like it was a 1950s designer's view of the future

God I'd love to have one of them too.

Reminds me about a car I saw on Fifth Gear a few years ago (but can't remember it's name), basically this thing was a replica of an old 1950's F1 car - pretty much just engine and bare chassis wrapped up in a tasty British Racing Green package. Had a V8 in it or something...would love one of them - if only I could remember the name...and had about £80,000...

See I was lead to believe that the MK6 Golf interior was just tweaked MK5 Interior. And the Scirocco was unique.

May well be the other way round though.


Either way, The Scirocco is stunning.

Am I the only one who thinks the new Scirocco looks hideous? Not sure why everybody raves about how beautiful it is - I much prefer the original.

Gimmie that Jensen Interceptor any day - you can pick a decent one up for about the same as that Toyota IQ piece of plastic Shocked
