Good resource for 2007 vehicles

[MickG]

Does anyone know of a good online resource for info on new model cars/4x4 etc being released in Australia in 2007? Looking at getting my wife another car but want to know if it will be superceded next year.

Googled Australian cars for 2007 etc but can't find anything I'm after.

Aye, Mick

Best place is to try Wheels and Motor magazine as they both have a small section on upcomming new models, otherwise, if you know the car you want, the dealer should be able to tell you what's being replaced & when, or the trusty interweb will have screeds of info if you know what you want, i'm pretty sure no 'bible' of upcomming cars exists..

I have heard the D3 wont change shape for 7 years. But there will be more incusions on the current shape every year.

Unlikely unless you are close personal friends with the dealer. Sales staff are usually instructed to give NO information regarding impending upgrades as it affects sales of current models. I think a dealer is likely to tell you anything EXCEPT when a new model is due out.

Yes, I agree completely, which is why I am looking elsewhere - don't trust a thing car salemen say (apart from a good friend who is one;) ) do your own research!! Seems pretty hard to find any definitive answers on various models other than a few snippets of text in mags such as wheels etc. I am looking at buying a RWD 4sp Auto Ford Territory Ghia for my wife (ticks all the boxes for her and the kids) however I heard on the grapevine that Ford are introducing the 6sp auto box into the RWD version next year. They will no doubt make some other changes as well so want to confirm this story and find more info on possible changes.

Thanks for the input so far but google can't seem to find me what I want.

Aye, Mick

True but I'm afraid the continental keys would have to reside on my key set............I suppose she could drive the disco whilst I had the Bentley;)
