 A survey no transportation collection should be without. December 14, 2006
It will take an in-depth automotive fan to appreciate the very technical The Car Design Yearbook 5 - but any fan of automotive design will find this an essential addition to the latest concept and production cars around the world, representing the fifth installment in Merrell Publishers' yearbook series. Here are A-Z profiles of all such cars of the last 12 months - over a hundred of them - showing exteiror and interior designs and technical machine layout. The profiles on leading auto designers is also an important feature, covering leading designers. Jam-packed with color photos throughout, this is a survey no transportation collection should be without.

An spectacular book, with amazing photos and very quality printing. It became fast part of my car books collection.

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This volume continues the format and quality of volumes 1-3, with the same strengths (beautiful photos, appealing coffee table appearance, etc.) and weaknesses (commentary isn't always helpful; every car gets about the same depth of coverage, whether it's a production-ready Fiat or an amazing concept car). If you liked the earlier editions, you'll enjoy this one too.
 The Car Design Yearbook 4 March 21, 2006
This is one of the coolest yearbooks around, especially if you like to stay updated on cars that came out last year. These books are excellent reference for years to come.
The book is divided in to different sections, or topics which change from year to year so they are well worth buying each year.
Each car is given 2 pages of awesome pictures and informative text and the layout is nice and clean.
The one thing I don't like too much about these books is the use of pictures, I think there are too few in some cases. Some cars are shown in only 2 pictures, sometimes the text describes the interior or the rear end of the car but there are no pictures of it. It seems graphic style and consistency goes before content, meaning the layout is too rigid.
But having said that I still think this book and all the others in this series are well worth the money and a must for anyone interested in the latest cars, both production and prototype.

Best bang for the buck as car books go. Excellent and Current info.
