The 16th IIMS: The Good Stuff
July 24, 2008
I bet everybody is waiting for this one, but unlike two years ago – yes we missed the last year’s IIMS – we’re going to treat this one as a two part entry, so people could give their comments out. So, let’s start out with the things we like from this year’s IIMS.
We always liked big cars like Alphards, Elgrands, or Elysions (except that Hyundai H1), and the latest Alphard is no exception. But we do have doubts with the new Vellfire, though. I think it’s a bit unnecessary.
We also liked how the new Fortuner facelift turned out. Now it is more in-tune with the rest of the Toyota SUV line-up.
Here’s a look on its new rear side.
This is the latest Audi A4, you know, the ones with those sexy new headlights. And there’s another subtle-but-cool feature about this car.
It’s the hubcap. This is what you call a truly functional German design. It gives aesthetics, and protects the bolts at the same time. Oh I’m sorry, I don’t believe riceboys have met with the term “functional” yet.
The Nissan Latio concept car. Sorry Nissan fans, but we like the concept much better than the production model.
The Toyota FT-HS. I’m not sure what the production model would look like, but this will suffice for the moment.
This is the second Suzuki Kizashi concept car, if I’m not mistaken. A bit radical, but more subtle compared to what Mazda has to offer with its concept cars recently. The Kizashi is a good combination between the future and elegance.
The Ford Verve probably will carry the design cues for the next generation of Ford cars.
This is what Rifat Sungkar drives nowadays on the rally track. And yes, it’s way cooler than B 1152 DP.
We also got some pictures of what the next generation trucks would probably look like, such as this Hino:
And this Mitsubishi Fuso:
And finally, look who actually participates in the event…
Congratulations, Tongki!

Audi A4 bolt-on hub caps nya, emang itu ada gunanya, boss ?
Itu cuma faktor estetika doank khan ?
Mekanisme pengunci baut ada di ring per nya, untuk beberapa
varian mobil pada bolt original nya dilengkapi dengan ring per,
contoh Mitsubishi Kuda Grandia
Suzuki pick-up nya keren tuh
Btw,
itu gambar Hyundai yg gw foto waktu banjir apa hubungannya yak,
bingung nih pas bacanya, foto asli nya gw masih ada nih,
kalau mau bisa gw kirim

We’ve been getting the same reports from others as well, apparently it’s our mistake that we didn’t do a thorough check. Sorry! So I’ve deleted it from the post.

Hemmm I dont think that FORD CONCEPT look good at all.. In fact its RICER than shit…. If all the new FORD new line will looks like that then surely the company will soon colapse.

you guys really dig the FORD CONCEPT? I went there and honestly it looked like shit.
KingRichard: yes all of the new ford lineups look wery much alike…well at least it’s going to that direction..take one for example..FORD EDGE..ewhhh
on the other hand, the Suzuki Kizashi…not really digging the look…but did you guys see what it has for the brakes???? they’re Brembos alright…but the size of them…they’re HUGEEEEEE…those things would just splattered your brains on the windshield! And those whells??? they sure can rip those Traffic-light beggars apart! haha
Fortuner…I always diss this one out…looks like a fat fuck on crack wearing a 12 inch heels
The Mitsu, I don’t think that’s the real one..I saw the brakes attached on that and they look like the ones attached on Avanza…yet the bruises on the body look real
I would love to see those trucks piggybacked them Patlabors hahaha…
