All new Acura NSX
Still just an illustration. And a weird one.Looks like there is something wrong with the perspective somewhere…And what an uninspired design… Some people are already talking about over 600hp from a 5.5 Liter V10. That’s crazy if you ask me. I just don’t see the market for this. It has to be just a few… Continue reading All new Acura NSX

All new Ford Ka
Based on the same platform as the Fiat 500. It looks nice and modern, but, like the new Twingo, not nearly as original as the previous model.These small cars are actually getting more conservative with each redesign… There might still be a chance to see this here. Some day….

Return of Datsun
Not really.This is just a student project. But the idea of using Datsun as an extra brand to compete with Scion has been out there for a while.

Diesel Saab Convertible test drive
We’ve all seen the Convertible from Saab. And the Euro Diesel model just looks the same. The engine I had was a smallish 1.9 Liter but with 180hp. It was more than enough for the car. It felt quick at pretty much all speed.And even smooth, past 30mph. And silent at freeway cruising.Like I said… Continue reading Diesel Saab Convertible test drive

At the London Auto Show.The second video is in German, but it shows the really nice looking interior.From what I’ve seen in spy shots, it seems that the Saturn version will be pretty much the same car. Let’s hope.

Mercedes CLA?????
Is Mercedes really thinking about a CLS type 4 door coupe based on the new C Class??? Why not? But the real question is: why? Is the Passat CC such a threat?

Next Hyundai i20 testing in Europe
I know. It’s cheap shot.I don’t know what happened. Maybe it just ran out of gas. Or was towed for parking in the wrong spot. It just looks funny to me…

Unfair fight
Just like in real life… This was done at about 40mph.The new Fiat 500 is crushed by the big and heavy Audi Q7. Sad to see.
