Several small compact cars have recently floundered in multiple manufacturers' efforts to further attract Generation Y consumers, with the lack of style and assertiveness cited as the main reason. Several newer models such as the Dodge Hornet concept, Honda Fit, and Dodge Caliber are poised quite well to capture market share, on the other hand. That said, former Ford product planner John Wolkonowicz claimed Ford has plans to bring back the Bronco, in a sharp and crisp package in 2009. Speculation about a new compact hatchback also exists. Could the Ford Reflex concept see production? A little spice never hurt anyone, so we will just have to wait and see. |

The General’s best selling pickup truck is about to get a replacement. The current Silverado was so popular that it outsold the Ford F-150. Shown above, is a picture of the upcoming 2007 Silverado that should be on sale this fall. GM claims this truck is improved over the model it replaces. As GM is in the middle of a life or death struggle, the GMT-900 [2007 Silverado code name] was pulled ahead by 13 weeks to get the ball rolling with their turn around plan. GM has asked that no specific details of the truck be released until after the official release later next month. |

The issue of what concept is next has been resolved. The images shown here are of the next generation Impala, putting to rest the debate of it possibly being the next Chevy Malibu. These sneaky snapshots were taken of the camouflaged white car while it was running on GM's test circuit. Much debate remains what the next flagship sedan will have for a platform underneath when production time comes, as the Zeta platform may soon replace the Australian Holden Commodore. |

Keeping up with the "what next?" question, Powertour 2006 has a 1972 Nova sleeper project completed in an attempt to outshine the Silverado SS that runs 11s from last year. The car itself has all the right ingredients: solid body, faded paint, and a tired demeanor...until you pop the hood. Beneath the hood rests a built 402 cubic inch LS-2, fitted with two (that's right, two) Rotrex Superchargers. As if one isn't enough? |
