• What car is this???

    This was actually send to me by a reader who is trying to find out what his relative was driving. It looks to me like a mid 1930’s Ford coupe, but it doesn’t really match other pictures. Any idea?

  • Where do you live?

    Another question I asked over a year ago. But people move. And I am still curious to hear. I can guess some countries, and I know most readers of this site are in the US. I also wonder if some of you are in China, which became the world’s largest market this year….

  • Alfa Romeo Spider Concept

    Alfa Romeo will have 3 new concepts ready for the Geneva auto show next month. This Spider, a coupe and a sedan. Showing us what the 159 replacement might look like. The Spider concept is being designed by Pininfarina, and the other 2 by Bertone and Giugiaro. So this will be quite an amazing display.… Continue reading Alfa Romeo Spider Concept

  • 2012 VW Beetle

    I heard last year that the next Beetle would be smaller but roomier. They are now saying that it will actually be a bit larger than the current model. And let’s hope, roomier. Especially in the back. VW also mentioned it will be based on the upcoming Jetta. That it will look even more like… Continue reading 2012 VW Beetle

  • Peugeot 208

    There is a new small Peugeot on its way. And, from these illustrations,  it looks like the new 208 will not be a redesign of the current  207. It will use Peugeot’s all new face. Introduced first in the upcoming 508. No matter what, this isn’t for us….

  • All new VW Touareg

    The all new Touareg has been discovered, at least the toy version. Which looks pretty detailed. And we can see a new design that is even more boring and conservative than the current one. Quite an accomplishment. I never liked the current model. I always thought it looked old even before it came out.

  • Revised European Mazda6

    They actually didn’t change much. (new model on top) I still think the previous one was a bit more interesting… But… Not sure what changes we’ll be getting in the US for 2011. Let’s hope it’s mild. The Mazda6 doesn’t really need anything. (Except the hatch and wagon versions, of course…)

  • The Future of Saab…

    We will finally see the all new 9-5 sedan. Full production should start in Apr il. Having seen it in person, I find it very good looking. A pure and simple design that is just what a Saab should be. Next is the wagon version of the 9-5, and it looks even better than the… Continue reading The Future of Saab…

  • Toyota halts sales and production of 8 models

    In the US only. So far… And no Lexus or Scion. Yet… Models are: -2009-10 RAV 4 -2009-10 Corolla -2009-10 Matrix -2005-10 Avalon -2007-10 Camry -2010 Highlander -2007-10 Tundra -2008-10 Sequoia. That is A LOT of cars. Other models remain for sale.

  • Peugeot 408 launched today

    In China, which is now the largest market in the world. So China is the new Holly Grail for car makers. And Peugeot wants to grab 8% of that market by      2016. They now have 1.3% with about 110 000 units sold. Next is a Chinese 508, and an SUV. Of course….

  • 2011 Honda Odyssey

    Honda will show a concept version of the all new US Odyssey at the Chicago auto show next month. As it is the case with Honda, what they mean by “concept” is usually the production car with larger wheels, more chrome and blue headlights. The top picture is the upcoming US version, and I am… Continue reading 2011 Honda Odyssey

  • Chevrolet Orlando interior

    Looks pretty nice. In line with recent GM interior designs. What a difference from just a few years ago… We’ll see the Orlando here sometime next year as a “more boring” replacement to the HHR.

  • SAAB Lives!

    GM just announced a deal with Spyker. Saab is alive… Here are the details: “Today’s announcement is great news for Saab employees, dealers and suppliers, great news for millions of Saab customers and fans worldwide, and great news for GM,” said John Smith, GM vice president for corporate planning and alliances. 

 “General Motors, Spyker Cars,… Continue reading SAAB Lives!

  • Saab lives?

    There might be an official announcement later today. Spyker might have reached a deal with GM where they would buy Saab for $500 million. This would be great news. it means we would actually see the new 9-5 as a Saab and not a Buick or Opel Senator. The new 9-4 X is around the… Continue reading Saab lives?

  • What’s that truck on a truck???

    Looks like a 2011 Infiniti QX56 to me… On its way. Somewhere… I guess Infiniti still feels the need to compete with the Cadillac Escalade. Not sure why…

  • 2012 Hyundai Elantra

    Once again, this looks to be pretty sleek. Especially for something competing with the Corollas of the world. MotorTrend seems to think the car will be fitted with a version of the new 2.4 Liter that comes in the new Sonata. I don’t see why both these cars would get the same engine. They also… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Elantra

  • 2011 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid

    The Cayenne will be all new for 2011. The ones driven on these pictures by the “Autocar” crew still have some light camouflage, but we can a good idea of what the final production model will look like. A lot less original than the current one. You can take out the “Porsche front end” and… Continue reading 2011 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid

  • 2011 Mazda6

    Whatever…. Mazda keeps revising all its model’s front ends to match the Mazda3, and most of the time, it just doesn’t fit. The Mazda6 is one of the best looking sedan sold in the US, and it doesn’t need anything. This doesn’t really ruin it, but it’s no improvement either. I guess the next one… Continue reading 2011 Mazda6

  • What do you drive?

    Simple question. I’ve asked it before, but it was a while ago. Maybe some people got a new car over the last year. I’m just curious.

  • Geely Gc5

    I am not sure what to say… This looks like a bad copy of the Nissan Versa. With some Fiat touches regurgitated here and there… Maybe when it’s all finished and ready for production? I don’t know… It’s touch to beat the Versa in the ugly department, but they did it.
