More from NAIS


Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible

Another wonderful job by Chrysler - rip the top off the PT Cruiser and provide a motoring experience unlike any other (with the possible exception of the VW Beetle ragtop). An inexpensive, four seater convertible. I guarantee this vehicle will sell like hotcakes for years to come.


Jiexun Concept

Here's something creative: an asymmetrical (left-to-right) front-end. Certainly not pleasing to the eye, perhaps this approach will work in the future. And certainly a completely new idea in an industry seemingly lacking radical approaches.


Lincoln Mark X Roadster

Wonderful job by Lincoln's designers: a droptop with charisma, panache and aesthetic appeal. If it's priced less than $40K, it will truly be a world-beater.


Mercedes-Benz GST

Two words: ugh and lee. Ugly. If M-B is going for a target-market of people who like stunted, undersized station wagons laden with nonsensical curves, then they've got a winner. This model has no chance of surviving in its current form.


Volvo S40

The new S40 is not a bad-looking vehicle at all. Borrowing heavily from the S60 and S80 before it, the 40 is a marked improvement over its predecessor. I believe it will slightly overachieve its sales goals if it is marketed appropriately: age 21-35 professionals living in or near large metro areas.
