An exciting and colourful Frankfurt Motor Show - part 4
| Fiat's Stilo made its first public appearance at Frankfurt, though irishcar.com has already driven this new competitor against Ford's Focus and Toyota's Corolla. It's going to be quite a battle. | ||
 |
||
| The high-powered GTA versions of Alfa's 156 and 147 (below)also made their appearance, and the ordinary 156 has also been given some small detail upgrading. | ||
 |
||
| With Kia now returned on sale in Ireland, this time with a full line-up of models, there should be some interest in this concept from the Hyundai-owned manufacturer. | ||
 |
||
| And Hyundai itself had this sporty concept (below) Clix of its own ... | ||
 |
||
| ... while its real sporty car, the new version of the popular Coupe, looked no less gorgeous ... | ||
 |
||
| ... and its Matrix compact MPV-type vehicle (below) could do quite well if brought into Ireland. | ||
 |
||
| This Opel Signum 2 concept is very close to being signed off as a production car, a version of the new Vectra built on the GM Epsilon platform. | ||
 |
||
 |
||
| And this Cadillac concept (below) already has bits of its design built into upcoming models ... | ||
 |
||
| ... such as this CTS saloon (below). | ||
 |
||
| This concept 'lifestyle pickup' from Citroen (below) has folding glass panels which completely enclose the rear when needed. | ||
 |
||
| But the real star of the Citroen show was the new C3 (below), which will take on the new Fiesta among others. | ||
