*KISS will do a farewell world tour.. again

In Cars
- The New S-Class will take all the good parts of every high end luxury car and improve upon them
-The New Z06 will be a great car but most will be bought by tools and left in the garage.

[is64fun]

raikonen starts to win (i hope this really)
ferrari 430 will be the best ferrari like 355 did.
porsche turbo will be released (at least) and become the leader! :)
i really wonder the le-mans series. DB9, Enzo, CGT, maserati etc... will be interesting

[kazaam]

in world news
civil war in america

[stradale]

In cars:

- Mercedes will launch yet another 52 new AMG versions of its cars. Only improvement: traction control warning lights will be further developed to make them last longer.
- Mitsubishi and Subaru will make up an entirely new alphabet to name different versions of their most powerful road going rally cars, since they've run out of symbols.
- Seat will rename its top of the line models again, as a result of which you can't figure out which of the fancy named models has a diesel engine or a proper unit under the bonnet.
- Ford's new Mustang will sell like hotcakes and following up on that Ford will fit the rest of its range with a live rear axle as well. Welcome back to days gone by!
- Lancia will design more fantastic cars that can save it from going bust. All in vain, because Fiat, in its infinite wisdom, will cancel them all.
- Opel/Vauxhall will discontinue the Speedster/VX220 model, as building and selling exciting and good looking cars that handle like a dream is too much of a distraction from its core business.
- Smart will launch an even bigger car. It wants to take on the BMW 5 series with a funky car that has interchangable body panels in bright, happy colours.

It's going to be a great year! :D

[possessed_beaver]

the US will issue minimum 30 terroist warnings, while rasing the alret level 20 times...

[Anonymous]

I'm not gonna get political..........................Next series of Top Gear will be the best ever (level of begging from noobs for videos reaches epidemic levels, riots ensue :P )

[sentra_dude]

C6 Z06 will destroy SRT-10, F430 & Gallardo in performance tests...only to have people whine that it doesn't count because it came from America ;)

By the end of the year, some kind of crack down on the hp wars, or at least people outside the car industry starting to take notice/alarm at how much power German sedans are making.

[CSedl87]

Insurance and gas prices will hit all-time highs. And the norm hp for new cars will be ~300hp

Aston martin will refuse to fix any of the problems with the new Vanquish S, claiming that british sports cars are supposed to break down all the time... and people will still buy them.

Ford announces production of a new supercar

GM announces that after the accidental release of their photo, they will re-engineer the car to be a v6 4 door FWD car to replace the impala, since the impala no longer seems sporty.

Chrysler comes 'out' and says they are really just 'Daimler Benz USA' now, and fire half their american staff... as a result, TC, and SC become impossible to turn off in all Chrysler vehicles... and the SRT-10 viper makes a name change to SL-AMG-10.

MPAA make motion to cancel the Internet, RIAA backs this move. Al Gore promptly invents Internet 3.... which is quickly outlawed leaving only Internet 2 and Internets.

Ferrari start racing, and Winning in GT class La Manns, using technology inspired from their F1 experience. Barrichello nearly grabs the F1 title from MS. lap times change minisculely.

Audi kills BMW and Mercedes again in the HP wars... HP wars continue unabated for a few more years.
