I continue to like the Mazda 6, it looks better than the Fusion...at least in photos. I can no longer keep track of the various Minis, I hope they run out of sub-niches soon.

Wow that Mondeo and the Mazda 6 are great looking cars, but I stand by my previous statement, the new, neutered, dog fits in purse, Range Rover sure is ugly

This is the fourth generation of the vehicle that started the whole premium SUV ball rolling back in 1970, and while the 2014 RR looks mildly evolutionary when compared to the outgoing model, underneath it is revolutionary. This is the world’s first all-aluminum SUV and it has shed 420 kg (925 lb.).
 
Despite the weight watchers regimen, it is the largest Range Rover yet—its improved packaging has liberated an additional 120 mm of rear legroom. It’s sleeker, more modern and the lower roofline is enhanced with flush side glazing. If you thought the Rangie’s interior was nice before, this model is even more luxurious, featuring richer materials and simplified design.

Jaguar–Land Rover’s new 3.0L supercharged V6 will be available along with the V8 models. And for those who want to brag about off-road cred, this new Range Rover has more wheel articulation, improved approach and departure angles and can wade in water up to 900 mm deep. No pricing yet, but we’ll see it in December.

Doesn't sound neutered.
Having woman trouble Fobroader? It’s all purses, sandy vaginas and trophy wives with you.

Not at all, just dont like the effiminate, rounded shape. Looks way too Evoquiesh for my tastes.

I think it looks like an Expedition. It's ok, styling wise, but I'd like it to look more like a truck too.

I liked the looks of the Jeep Commander. Too bad it was a piece of crap.

Wow, that new Mazda6 looks killer!!

maybe thats why I dont like it, because it looks like the Expedition, which is horrid.I really liked the Commander as well, looked fantastic, too bad about the crap front suspension, enormous fuel consumption and cramped and oddly small interior. There is one in town that has a small lift kit and a bit bigger and more aggresive tire, fantastic looking rig. I guess I am behind the times when it comes to cars, I like them more square.

my sister uses a commander to haul the kids around. big car without any benefits of being a big car.

anywho, the RR i'm not impressed with... i think it is getting closer to the old RR's that they built their rep on, but the looks are just meh.

the smart car's projection thing?  hilarious as a feature on a car... but still quite cool.

the wagons mentioned.. nice, but not getting em, so meh. oh, and the comment that the v60 would outsell the s60?... i disagree. though many would really like it, it wouldn't take away from the fact that sedans sell better in that market.

that peugeot looked cool... nice to still see concept cars, not just "almost ready to be in production cars"

The new Range Rover is amazing, read the specs it's VASTLY improved and no longer a dinosaur!

From a tech standpoint its probably vastly better. I just dont like the look and shape of it is all. The current range rover looks awesome, very stately and imposing.
