At the Frankfurt Motor Show 2007, a number of “cars of the future” are making a name for themselves.

Mitsubishi Concept-cX

The Mitsubishi Concept-cX is described as a “funky new proposal for a compact crossover with a ‘jet’ fighter” nose from the new Lancer. The raised ground clearance and chunky wheelarches are all its own, and despite the name, there may eventually be a showroom model of this car.

Crossover cars are very much in now. Nissan’s Qashqai is already selling well, Mazda has just launched the CX-7 and Ford’s Kuga is close to production, so people are used to the idea of a car that takes elements from both a regular family hatch and an SUV.
