• Nissan Note?

    Nissan has said for a while they want to offer something cheaper and smaller than the Sentra.They used to hint at the next generation Cube.But recently, they claimed that no decision has been made and they are looking at a couple of options.I am sure this all new Note is one of them. And it… Continue reading Nissan Note?

  • Suzuki X2

    Another SUV! Really…Do we need that?This time it is Suzuki’s turn to redesign their old Grand Vitara.It uses a V6 with 185hp and a 5 speed auto.Sounds like a clone or cousin to the Saturn Vue and Chevy Equinox. But they claim it is a lader frame, and also a unibody construction. It is usually… Continue reading Suzuki X2

  • 2006 Hyundai Azera

    That’s pretty much the US version of the new “Grandeur” shown last month in Geneva.Interior seems the same .But, wait a minute.. Look at the front end. What happened to the grille???? That’s right, they changed it for the US market!! (The top one).Why????The Grandeur is not a great looking car, but it is fine.… Continue reading 2006 Hyundai Azera

  • 2006 Hyundai Accent

    The more cheap cars, the better.Not everyone can spend $30 000 on a nice car. Often not even $20 000.The current Accent starts at around $10 000! And this new one should not be that much more. Considering the price, it looks pretty nice. Still on the boring side of things, but it doesn’t look… Continue reading 2006 Hyundai Accent

  • Who bites the dust???

    Rumors have been flying this week about GM getting rid of another brand.maybe even two!After years of designing the wrong cars for the market, they think the answer to their problems is to dump the legendary brands they acquired.It seems unthinkable, but they might actually do it again. Who would have thought they’d get rid… Continue reading Who bites the dust???

  • Lexus IS 350

    Just a short note on that new Lexus IS again.And to see one more time how great the interior looks!I mean, compare this to the all new 3 series. And the BMW guys still don’t see this as a threat. Good luck with that one…

  • 2006 Jeep Commander

    Well… I’ve pretty much said everything I thought about this crap.It does look a little bit “better” than on the previous shots.But I think that’s because I like that color better.It is butt ugly. A truck can be macho and well designed at the same time. I think the Hummer H2 does exactly that.I don’t… Continue reading 2006 Jeep Commander

  • Mustang Cobra

    I am usually not that into sport cars. But I do like the new Mustang.And this all new Shelby Cobra version looks even more retro than the GT. And more modern at the same time.They just did a fantastic job!It will use a 5.4Liter V8 with over 450hp!All this for under $40000. Not cheap, but… Continue reading Mustang Cobra

  • Fox kills Lupo?

    Looks like the small Brazilain made VW Fox will be replacing the Lupo in Europe.The Fox has been slightly revised this year. (front, rear, interior. The usual…)This allows them to keep the price down to under 9000 Euros. But with a 1.4 Liter engine and just 55hp, the $11000 Fox is definitely NOT for us…… Continue reading Fox kills Lupo?

  • Brilliance in Germany

    First, these 2 pictures show us that the new Brilliance is actually just a revised version of the model presented about 2 years ago. (the dark one on top is the “old” one). It was designed by Giugiaro. Now wonder it looks so good. Second, it has been anounced that germany has an imorter. And… Continue reading Brilliance in Germany

  • Brilliance !

    That’s the name of the company that just came out with this pretty good looking mid sized sedan.A Chinese company! Not the one we’re getting in the US in the next couple of years, that one is “Chery”.But if that’s any indication of what to expect, the future looks bright! This looks as good as… Continue reading Brilliance !

  • More new Passat details

    That still looks a little weird and overdone to me… Even without the “all wood” steering wheel, there is still just too much of that wood on the flat looking dashboard.It still reminds me of some Korean car somehow… It looks very nicely done and all, but…I guess I still like the current model’s interior… Continue reading More new Passat details

  • 2006 Chevrolet Malibu SS

    This is the new “sport” version of the non sporty (and pretty ugly) Malibu.The new front end helps a bit. But the overall design is so dated (even though it is only a couple of years old) that even the great looking 18inch wheels can’t do much.The engine is the same that the one available… Continue reading 2006 Chevrolet Malibu SS

  • Lada 110

    This is the best “shameless copy job” from Russia since the Tupolev 144 copied the Concorde supersonic airplane back in the early 70’s!They are now obviously after the Ford Focus. Even their company logo !Ladas have been sold in western Europe for years, as cheap transportation. Kind of like early Korean cars here back in… Continue reading Lada 110

  • Next Sentra Concept?

    Nissan will show this sport concept at the New York auto show.And I think this might just be a preview of the next Sentra, A.K.A Sunny in Japan. Just imagine the same design without the “crazy” concept touches like the spoilers, side skirts, mirrors etc…This would mean the Sentra replacement (whatever the name ends up… Continue reading Next Sentra Concept?

  • All new Jaguar

    This is supposed to be a concept car that will be introduced later this year. But “insiders” claim this is actually a “close to production” preview of the model replacing the small X Type in 2007. (They might not even keep that name).As you can see, there isn’t much in common with the X type.It… Continue reading All new Jaguar

  • 2006 Impala

    This is really not a bad looking car.If you are in the market for a roomy sedan, you could do much worse. Like getting the current Impala.It seems like GM has paid attention to the details, finally. That light interior looks much better than the dark one I saw at the auto show.With a good… Continue reading 2006 Impala

  • Fiat SUV

    From Italy we get this very early look at a possible design for the all new SUV from Fiat.The design will be partially shared with Suzuki. So we’ll probably get the Suzuki version of this, to compete with the RAV4 and other small car based SUVs. It should be shown to the public this fall.

  • Chevy Matiz in the US???

    GM is now actually thinking about bringing the redesigned Daewoo Matiz to the US market.But only if gas prices continue to rise. The super is now well over $2.50 in most Los Angeles areas…I am not sure they can realy make a profit by selling this super mini, with its one liter engine in the… Continue reading Chevy Matiz in the US???

  • Mazda MX-5 Limited

    Not even out yet, and the new MX-5 gets a Limited “comemorative” model.It is said to celebrate the coming out of the new generation.They usually come up with these at the end of a run, not the beginning.But I really like the metal finish around the windshield. It fits the design of the new car.That… Continue reading Mazda MX-5 Limited

  • Smart Forfour

    The Forfour sedan should be the best seller in the US.Barely longer than a Mini Cooper, it seats 5!The interior is the least original of all the Smart models. Even thought it is the newest…But it still has the cool option of a glass roof, leather etc…And you can fold both front seats forward. Party!!!!… Continue reading Smart Forfour

  • It’s alive!

    This is the “Limited” version of the all new Jeep Commander.It gets the V8 standard. Otherwise, the base engine is the 3.7 Liter V6 from the Liberty!Imagine this big 7 passenger SUV brick with the V6!No doubt most models will be ordered with the V8. I must say, even “decked out” with all the chrome,… Continue reading It’s alive!

  • Jeep Commander interior

    First. The previous photo is real.The Commander will be introduced next week at the New York auto show.And this interior is not much better than the horrific exterior.I guess “macho” is now an excuse for cheap, hard palstics and backward designs. This should go down in history as one of the worst design ever produced…

  • “New” VW Polo

    Nothing “all new” here…A slight alteration to a pretty conservative design.The front end is supposed to make it look like the other VWs. Like the new Jetta and Paasat.But there is no chrome. So it ends up NOT looking like the others…What’s the point of that really…And the wheels on this upscale model now look… Continue reading “New” VW Polo
