Fiat Cargo (Idea)




This Fiat Idea based mini-van was spotted somewhere around in Italy. As you see it got the hideous Fiat Punto Prototype lights (front & back) that stick out. We strongly doubt that this will make it into production. Note the bulging wheelarches. This indicates that this could be a test mule for an upcoming model.

2006 Volkswagen CrossGolf




As you may now know, Volkswagen is building a 4x4 based VW Golf called the CrossGolf. This is not its offical name. The prototype is wearing light plastic cladding around the bonnet. The lights (Front & back) could look like this. This fits nicely inbetween the Golf and the Golf Plus. Maybe caught in Northern Sweden

Fiat Ducato Facelift



Taken in Germany I think the Fiat Ducato will also have a facelift. Judging from other spy pictures it looks to have a similar face to the Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic etc. The rear lights will be longer than the current van and it could even be longer. Taking on the Vauxhall Movano and Ford Transit, Fiat hopes that this will be a success. The Transit has been on the market ever since the 60's and has been a hit ever since it was born.

2007 VW Touran?



In 2007 the Volkswagen Touran will be up for a facelift. The MPV has been on the market since 2001. As you see from these photoshopped pictures that its taken the new VW Golfs face. I hope that the facelift doesn't look like this.

2008 Chevrolet Stingray?


Could this be the next Chevy Stingray? If I'm not mistaken this car should be called "Chevy Corvette Stingray:. In the 60's this car was called the Corvette Stingray. Why change the name? The face of the car is smiling and dosn't look aggressive or mean. No idea what caatorgory this willl come under but I'm guessing it will take on the Pontiac Solstice.

Vauxhall Astra CC (TwinTop) NAKED!



We at COTF have the first ever glimpse of the 2006 Astra CC NAKED on the roads. Spotted in Germany, outside Nurburgring free of disguise and with the roof down! Our own spy Hanjo took these sensational pictures. This coupe/convertible will have a 2 piece top. Front & rear face will be the same as the 3/5 door Astra. Not too sure wether this will be sold in Australia. If it does go to Australia it will be named as Holden and could arrive six months later than its launch date

Pontiac Solstice Turbo



Pontiac engineers ventured to the NĂ¼rburgring to take some hot laps in the hot version of the Solstice roadster. Several styling differences set this prototype apart as the turbocharged version of Pontiac's halo car. The high-performance additions to the Solstice clearly require more breathing ability. The large round lights set into the Solstice's bumper fascia - surrounded by bodywork on the standard 170-hp model - are set within additional honeycomb grillework on this prototype. Sharply sculpted edges outline the added grilles, giving more definition to the Solstice's face. The Turbo Solstice's more chiseled look is furthered by a deeper, squared-off jawline, which incorporates another thin air-intake slit at the bottom.
The changes at the rear are less pronounced: a subtle lip spoiler sets this more muscled model apart from the standard version. By applying a turbocharger to GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec engine, this Solstice will generate at least 240 horsepower, and rumors suggest it may even exceed 250 horses. Regardless of the final output numbers, this car should give serious competition to the likes of Mazda's new Miata, as long as the Solstice's final execution manages to live up to the promise of the car's sexy lines.

But why are they testing this sports car in Germany when its not sold in Europe?
