Cars on the Horizon ....2007 Model Scoop

**parakitoJDM** · August 5th, 2006 01:57 PM

i just got a new copy of the Popular Japanese magazine "Best Car..." and saw raw images of the next full model change on a number of cars we'd all be interested in. sorry i don't have a scanner so i just took some foto's using my Digicam. i hope its clear enough...

if u like what u see better save up on that for next year's release. i think most of it will find its way into the tiny PH market. well probably not for the Civic Type R...

[still looks pathetically similar to the new one? the bulbuos front head lamp certainly is familiar given the current JDM Rolla looks like it, but it has a slightly nicer tough with the projector inside. oh and the bumper cut is nice. but still looks like they maintained 4lug bolts on d wheels. whereas Mazda 3 and 2006 Civic already has 5.... and the power is not upto par with the latters 140hp. but torque is slightly higher though. Corolla 17.9 vs. Civic 17.7kgm
2007 Corolla Sedan

Parang ang saya ng Civic Type-R Sedan.

They retain the turn signal mirrors while improving the grille at the same time.

Looks tempting

Its just a poorly done photo illustration(chop), lets just hope that the real thing looks better than that.

I beleive those vehicles in the list are for the 2008 model year which means they will be launched sometime next year.
The CX-7 goes on sale this year as a 2007 model.

Check out the rear door and rear wheel openings, the artist could have at least made the front quarter view consistent with the rear quarter view renderings....
Its not clear also if Subaru will retain the 3-part grill of the current 2006 Impreza and Tribeca, because the new models like the facelifted R2 ditched the 3-part grill and replaced it with a 1-piece grill, the facelifted 2007 Legacy also sticks to a 1-piece grill same goes for the new Subaru Stella kei car.

Again, most of the CG chops are done by artists, most of the renderings, specially the older ones are not accurate.
