• 2011 Acura TSX Wagon

    Or “Sport Wagon”. “Wagon” being treated as a dirty word. No surprises here.  Basically a Euro Accord wagon with an Acura grille. With a 5 speed auto and the smaller 2.4 Liter only. No V6 and no manual.

  • 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo

    -2.0 Liter engine with 274hp -22MPG City/34MPG Hwy I’m all for squeezing more power from a smaller engine. And 34MPG is a good reason to do it. It seems that Hyundai chose to stay pretty subtel with its turbo model. So it doesn’t look like they’ll market it like a sports sedan. (no manual available)… Continue reading 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo

  • 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

    Getting 41MPG City and 36HWY.  Much better numbers than the Lexus 250h. But somehow, Ford decided against making the hybrid version look a bit special. I think this is a mistake. Most people who buy hybrids want others to know they are driving a hybrid. This looks like the regular MKZ, which most people have… Continue reading 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

  • 2011 Scion Tc

    I’ll say it’s about time. A new Tc. Finally. 2010 is the 6th model year for the coupe. Which I always thought looked rather boring. A great idea on paper: a 2 door hatchback with standard glass roof and the Camry engine. I really was waiting for this one. But then, it actually came out.… Continue reading 2011 Scion Tc

  • 2011 Nissan Quest

    Looking very much like the 2008 Forum concept. ( In white) A good thing. I had the chance to sit inside the Forum, and it was a stunning looking car in person. Let’s hope they kept the production version close enough. 2011 seems like a great year for Minivans, with all new ones from Toyota,… Continue reading 2011 Nissan Quest

  • 2011 Hyundai Accent???

    I guess it is. Or is it the Elantra? The Elantra is due for a redesign first. Who knows… Even though Hyundais are becoming very stylish, they do start looking the same….

  • 2011 Audi A7

    Caught, testing in Europe. Everything I have seen about this car looks good. Basically, a hatchback version of the next A6. And much better looking than the new hatch version of the BMW 5 series.

  • 2011 Hyundai Veloster

    I just noticed something on these spy shots of the upcoming Veloster compact coupe. The door on the passenger side is shorter. Hiding a “3rd” door behind it.  The passenger side seems to be coming with a system similar to the Mini Clubman. Or the old Saturn coupe.  Something the concept didn’t have. (red car)… Continue reading 2011 Hyundai Veloster

  • 2011 Infiniti QX56

    Just when I start getting used to the new Infiniti “M” design, they come up with this… The new Nissan Patrol based SUV has to be one of the ugliest design ever. Plus, with its 5.6 Liter 400hp V8, it’s everything the current market is craving, right? Let’s hope we won’t see too much of… Continue reading 2011 Infiniti QX56

  • 2011 Chevrolet Cruze RS and Eco interior pictures.

    Not much difference. The seats are even the same, except for the leather. It’s also funny they choose to display the Eco version with a stick shift, and the sporty RS with an automatic. (The Eco gets its 40mpg rating when equiped with a manual transmission only.)

  • 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

    Lincoln will unveil a hybrid version of the MKZ in a few days for the New York auto show. This is pretty much a no brainer. There is already hybrid versions of the Fusion and Milan, which are basically the same car. And a great idea. Ford charges almost $5000 more for the Hybrid version… Continue reading 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

  • Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

    The 556hp beast will soon be available in a wagon design. A pretty amazing car no doubt. But really, they can’t expect to sell many of these. I have seen only one of the regular CTS wagon on the road. This super powerful (And expensive) version will have even more limited appeal. I guess it’s… Continue reading Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

  • 2012 Buick Regal Wagon???

    This is actually an Opel Insignia wagon… But testing in Michigan! Which means GM is seriously considering a wagon version of the new Regal. Great news. With a new Acura TSX wagon coming, and the departure of the Volvo V70 from the US market, GM might just be on to something….

  • 2011 Mercedes R class

    For its 5th year in production, the R Class is not getting a new design. Just some revised elements, mostly up front. With new lights in the back. And a slightly revised interior. Good news about the interior. At least it doesn’t adopt the horrific looking blocky design from the GLK or new E Class.… Continue reading 2011 Mercedes R class

  • 2011 Hyundai Elantra

    I first thought it was a picture of the new Sonata. But no. It seems Hyundai is trying to bring some style into the compact sedan segment. What a great idea. In a world full of Corollas…
