Yet another Fiat Uno rendering has emerged. Compared to Jorge’s futuristic rendering (shown earlier), this one has a better chance of being the next Fiat Uno, as it resembles the spy pictures in size and shape.

Codenamed the Project 327, the new Uno will share its platform with the next-generation Panda. It will come with Airbags and other safety equipment as standard, and feature fresh interiors like the Fiat 500 (but only in Europe).

Left Lane News has come up with some illustrations of the 2011 BMW 5-Series sedan, by taking clues from Spy images of the same car.

Codenamed the F10, the new BMW 5 series will have softer lines in comparison to the current E60 with more conventional-looking headlights and a cleaner front-end design. This rendering has taken design cues from newer BMW releases like BMW 5-series GT and the new BMW 7-Series.

Due to new EU safety standards, the length of the front overhang will be reduced, but the entire car is expected to grow in size and 17-inch rims will come standard.

3-door cars are a sparse find in India, forget 3-door sedans. Nevertheless, a little stretch of an artist’s imagination can lead to a lot of interesting effects. Especially if it’s a photoshop transformation of a popular car.

Take for instance, the new Honda City. It was launched in India last year and people have fallen in love with it. It looks sharper and sleeker than the out going City, in my view, it looks far better in comparison to the previous model. Honda’s made use of the Civic’s ingredients on this car and the results had to be good.

Living in India, you don’t get to see many Mercedes Benz SLKs. During my visit to the U.K back in 2006, I remember seeing them running around all over the place. They looked like mini SLR’s, with that muscle bisecting the bonnet leading to the 3-pointed star on the radiator grille. The fins, lines, profile and the tail lamps were all SLR. You get what I mean, don’t you?

My friend Arman at Motorward tells me the Mercedes Benz SLK is very popular in the U.A.E. He also tells me its too early to talk about its next iteration, the one that’ll embark international markets in 2011 and unite with Indians sometime around 2012.

The rendering of the 2011 Mercedes Benz SLK looks like a smaller SL. The SL 63 AMG was discussed earlier, so you can get an idea of what I’m talking about by looking at it.

Days after an image that allegedly is the bumper of the 2010-11 BMW 5 Series propped up on BMW Blog, a talented Photoshop artist has constructed an entire BMW around it.

The lines on the next BMW 5 Series will be a lot fainter with the crease on the bonnet scraping the more rounded headlights. Lots of inputs will be taken from the new BMW 7 Series and the BMW CS concept. The front end design will be influenced by the European Pedestrian Safety standards. The brake lights will be ironed out and will appear more like the BMW 3 Series’.
