Future Vehicles

Almost close to a spaceship. Honda wants to compete with the Toyota Venza and Subaru Outback. With it's slopping roof and almost controversial looking grille. In terms of looks, the styling is almost identical to that of the Toyota Venza. Although Honda hasn't revealed any interior photos or any kind of hint as to what will be under the hood of this odd looking crossover. But I'm guessing that this crossover will use engines similar to that of the Accord coupe and sedan line.


The Volkswagen Rabbit will be replaced once again with the nameplate Golf. Even though the
Rabbit was originally for the United States. The platform was very expensive for Volkswagen to engineer. So this new sleeker looking Volkswagen will take the spot as the entry-level in the line-up. The GTI will wear similar styling but with a more sportier looking grille. Engines are expected to carry over unchanged. But a turbo-diesel producing 170hp will be added.

Rumormill: There's talk that Mercedes-Benz may bring back the Forfour nameplate to Smart's line-up. If you haven't heard of this car. The Forfour was once sold as a micro-hatch in Europe between 2004 - 2006. Yes it lived a short life. Mainly due to the price and the low sales. It was based on the Mitsubishi Colt platform. The sudden interest was sparked after the Forfour popularity began to rise in recent years. There's no word yet on a release date. But the platform maybe shared with a Renault. So far nothing else has been released. But if Mercedes keeps it on the same platform and facelifts the vehicle. Then That would work as well.
