US Buick Regal???
Not sure what this is exactly. But it’s not really the Chinese Regal. And it’s not the new laCrosse.With recent rumors about Opel building a smaller Buick fro the US, I wonder….Looks like a modified Chinese Regal to me.Here is the new Chinese Regal.

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback in the US
After telling us this car was only for the Japanese and European market, they’ve decided to sell it over here after all. It’s coming in the summer.It looks OK. Not nearly as good as the concept from the previous year though.And not as good as a Mazda3.They ned to stand out. And I don’t think… Continue reading Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback in the US

No 2009 Astra for the US
I bet.Since they are selling about half the number they had hoped for in the first place. There are plenty of 2008 Astras sitting on dealer lots.I test drove one and really liked it. But the 4 speed auto has to go. Plus the engine isn’t that great.And the interior is nice but starts showing… Continue reading No 2009 Astra for the US

Aston Martin Rapide
Sure it will be expensive. Very expensive.But the Porsche Panamera won’t be cheap either. At least this does look like a super special luxury item.

Next Hyundai Equus/i70
Another picture of the next big Hyundai.Again, we can’t see that much.I should really be waiting until the official stuff comes out. But hey, I’ve got a site to run.I need to post stuff all the time. Otherwise people complain, and I make zero money….

Jaguar XE
The XE will be an all new car for Jaguar. It will not be a super mid engine sport car like previously thought, but a smaller, front engine coupe competing with the new BMW Z4, Porsche Boxter and Mercedes SLK.I think this is a great opportunity for Jaguar. And a better way to offer a… Continue reading Jaguar XE

Opel Insignia GTC
GTC is the name of the sport versions for Opel. This will get a twin turbo V6 good for at least 320hp. If the Insignia ends up over here as a Buick, don’t expect this one to make it across the Atlantic.I don’t think there is any market in the US for a 320hp mid… Continue reading Opel Insignia GTC

Rumor of the day: Insignia as Buick in the US
We’ve talked about this before: the Chinese Buick Regal would make a really nice Buick in the US too.GM announced they will fund Saturn for another couple of years, but no new models. That means no Opel Insignia as the next Aura. But the Regal proves that the Insignia looks really good as a Buick.On… Continue reading Rumor of the day: Insignia as Buick in the US

new Toyota Auris Verso
The Auris Verso will be replacing the Corolla Verso in Europe in a few months.That’s because the Auris replaced the Corolla. Even though over here, the more boring version of the same car is still called the Corolla.Verso is the name they use for their high wagon version. They even have a smaller Yaris Verso.… Continue reading new Toyota Auris Verso

All new Hyundai Equus interior
Not much to see yet, but it will look expensive. The Genesis already has a very nice interior.

The XLR is dead…
Well, almost.Production of the Corvette based Cadillac will stop in a few weeks.That’s too bad. I guess it does make sense. How many of these do they sell? But it would have been great to see what a second generation would have looked like. In related news, the CTS coupe has been delayed until late… Continue reading The XLR is dead…

Opel Ampera
This seems to be the Opel version of the Chevrolet Volt.With pretty much the same specs. Hatch, 4 seats, 60km range on the battery etc… And look for the weird cuts in the bumper under the headlights to make it into future Opel designs as well.

Next VW Polo
A few more illustrations of what the next small VW could look like.Both are surprisingly similar. It would be a nice little car. A small sub $15 000 VW for the US.
-
All new Mercedes E500 Coupe
Even though there will also be a V6 version, it’ll still be a “way over $50 000” car.I must say, these official pictures make it look a bit better than before. But that interior with the beige/brown combo doesn’t look too upscale, does it… A convertible will follow soon.
-
Chery A6CC
This really nice looking coupe has been in the works for years after they showed the concept version.I just wonder when it will actually come out. These latest spy shot show a production model pretty much identical to the concept. Designed in Italy.
-
All new Hyundai Equus.
The “larger than Genesis” Hyundai does look quite different than it’s smaller brother.engines will be the same as on the Genesis, plus a new 5.0 Liter V8 with 400hp. This doesn’t look bad. Even more interesting than the Genesis. No plans for US sales. Yet….

Friend of the Chubby nerd in the Lexus HS
And he likes it. Keep in mind, the video is all stretched out to get that fake HD look, so the car looks longer than it is, and the guy looks wider…

german guys showing us why the new E Class is so great…
Remember the guy on top?I’ll give you a clue: He helped kill Chrysler.

Guessing the next Saab 9.5
A few people have tried over the past couple of years.But so far, only the 3rd illustration seems close to the spy shots I posted earlier. Unfortunately,it is the most boring looking one. The last picture was taken at a GM meeting, showing the real thing. At least an optimistic illustration of it… I would… Continue reading Guessing the next Saab 9.5

Chrysler and Fiat officially partners.
That means Fiat will own 35% of Chrysler.Sure, they all talk of “sharing”. Engines, platforms etc… But that takes years.Even if Chrysler wants to use a Fiat platform for an upcoming model, they still have to design it etc… This will take years.They need good stuff now. So what do you think?What Fiat/Alfa model would… Continue reading Chrysler and Fiat officially partners.
