Evo X Hatch
I must admit, super fast compact cars aren’t my cup of tea. But this hatchback version of the upcoming Mitsubishi Evo X is much better looking than the new Subaru Impreza.It looks like the US will get both the sedan and hatch versions of the Subaru.Let’s hope Mitsubishi does the same with the next Evo.… Continue reading Evo X Hatch

2009 Lexus GS V10?
Just like they just squeezed a V8 in the IS, Lexus is planning to offer a V10 verion of the next GS model.(Illustration above)This 450hp car would compete with the M5. Lexus is trying very hard to be taken seriously in Europe. I guess going after BMW might be one way to do it….

Audi R8 at $109 000 in the US!
And they will charge $9000 extra for the automatic! That compares with $78 200 for an AWD Porsche 911. ( $88 400 for the more powerful Carrera C4S)Or $110 000 for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I would call this another case of too much self confidence from Audi/VW. Most sports car people just dream… Continue reading Audi R8 at $109 000 in the US!

Subaru Impreza
I guess more pictures won’t make it look much better.Seems like Fuji Industries doesn’t really care about market share….

Revised Optima for next year.
Already?! Seems like the rear will be all new (On this picture at least, the lights look like the new Mondeo)No pics of the front or interior yet…

Chevrolet Trax concept
Not sure what this is supposed to be.Obviously small. Small car, crossover?A preview of something to be produced? Or not? I like the look. We’ll see it it becomes anything….

Infiniti EX “Concept”
One of these “fake” concepts that is pretty much 99% similar to the upcoming production version.In this case, a good thing. I think it looks great.But that’s pretty much all I know.This new Crossover is smaller and cheaper than the FX,to compete with the Acura RDX and the upcoming small RAV4 based Lexus. But I… Continue reading Infiniti EX “Concept”

Fantastic 4 to drive a Dodge!
With a Hemi!550 mph and 30 000 feet! I have to say, I never saw the 1st film and I don’t think I’ll go see this one either. But a flying car is a flying car….

Buick Lacrosse and Lucerne “Super”
I guess it just means more chrome, bigger grilles and more power.Not sure if that will help save Buick.The Enclave is a big move in the right direction, but this is not even necessary.Pretty much a waste of GM’s money, I think….

New Hummer H2 interior
The new (and much better) interior also comes with an even larger 6.2 Liter engine. No comments….

Toyota Auris 3 door
We might still get it here alongside the 2008 Corolla. (I’ve seen a couple testing in Hollywood a few months ago) Or we’ll get the “Blade” version of the 5 door to replace the Matrix.Either way, it seems pretty nice, even if the design is quite uninspired…

2008 Subaru Impreza
This time it is the real thing!Not that great but much better than all the illustrations I’ve seen of it.The interior, at least on this picture, looks rather plain. More very soon.

Hyundai Genesis concept
Looks production ready to me.Even a bit boring. I guess price will still be the main advantage.

Mazda CX-5
The magazine Auto Express has this illustration of what a small Mazda SUV would look like.This makes a lot of sense for the European Market where even the CX-7 is pretty big. This looks to be based on the next Mazda 3 platform. I think it would be great in the US too. Where “small”… Continue reading Mazda CX-5

Improvements!
Look at the amazing difference between these 2 videos. The 1st one is a crash test for the 2001 Ford Escape.We can all agree it is pretty scary.The 2nd one shows a similar test for the 2005 Escape.With much better results.As far as I know, the Escape didn’t change much from 2001 to 2005, yet… Continue reading Improvements!
