Car Design Yearbook 3 November 6, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Volumes 1 and 2 in this series were sensatioanl and highly recommended. The newest volume is a disappointment in terms of what is omitted. The entire Chicago Auto Show and its premiers are simply, for whatever reason not presented as well as the wild Ford Cobra concept which debuted at the NAIAS. Missing are the Dodge Dakota, Buick LaCrosse, and Mercury Montego introductions. Also missing are the GM crossover sport vans such as the Chevrolet Uplander, Saturn Relay et al. Compounding these omissions is the fact that the photos of the new for 2005 Honda Odyssey are those of the preceding model. So while this is still perhaps a worthwhile addition to one's automotive library,
it is not what it should be based on previous volumes. Perhaps the problem lies with the mention that the Tokyo Auto Show generated so many concepts that there was not enough space. Also frustrating is the fact that, even though the book comes out six months after the New York Auto Show, its debuts will be included in the next volume.
