• 2011 Volvo S60?

    At least Volvo will be around next year, so we’ll get to see this really good looking new S60.Such a good looking alternative to these boring 3 series sedans we see everywhere.

  • 2011 Kia Sportage??

    I am not really sure.In a way it does look like the real thing. But there is something odd about it. It looks so much like the new Sorento. Plus, there is a small signature in front of a rear wheel. Here is the 2010 Sorento. Pretty close isn’t it…

  • 2011 Ford Explorer

    Caught somewhere in Detroit. Notice the great driving skills of these guys, at the end…

  • RIICH G5

    Yes, Riich, with 2 “i”s.The new luxury brand from Chinese car maker Geely. If does feel like a joke. The fact that they would even need a separate luxury brand to sell what looks like a very average car. A loaded Malibu seems much more luxurious. The 2.0 Liter with 170hp doesn’t scream “Luxury” either.… Continue reading RIICH G5

  • R.I.P Kia Borrego ?

    Could be. Kia has already announced there will be no 2010 models of the big truck based SUV.Seems almost nobody wants one.Launched last year, just when the market was turning away from big, thirsty truck based SUV’s. Talk about bad timing. I am sure it is a decent truck, but that’s just not what people… Continue reading R.I.P Kia Borrego ?

  • SAAB to resume production!

    Both the 9-3 convertible and the all new 9-5 sedan will be in production in January.Weird…Just a few days after GM announced it was killing the brand. Now GM says they moved the deadline to find a new buyer to January 7th.If so, why start production? What if they can’t sell it? It’s just really… Continue reading SAAB to resume production!

  • 2012 Buick compact sedan

    Will be sold as the Excelle in China, but GM hasn’t announced a name for the US yet.Basically a sedan version of the Opel Astra. With a different front end.At least for the US. The interior seems pretty nice too, but not that much nicer than the cheaper Chevrolet Cruze.As a Buick, it will need… Continue reading 2012 Buick compact sedan

  • 2011 Nissan Micra

    Just more illustrations of the next small Nissan.Which for the 1st time will be sold in the US. As a “sub-Versa” model. So I guess it will start under $10 000, which is pretty much the base Versa’s price.This is the current version and I still think it does look better and much more original… Continue reading 2011 Nissan Micra

  • 2012 Hyundai Veloster

    It looks like the production model could end up pretty close to the concept we saw back in 2007. (Red car)I guess everyone will have a small sporty coupe now. But unlike most of the other new models from Toyota/Subaru, Nissan and Mazda, the Veloster will be FWD.So it will compete more with the Scion… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Veloster

  • Chrysler Nassau?

    The Chrysler version of the Lancia Delta is now rumored to be called “Nassau”.For obvious “Oldsmobile reasons” they just couldn’t keep the Delta name in the US. The engines would be the new 1.8 Liter Turbojet with 200hp. But also a 160hp version of the same engine.It will be imported from Europe but could be… Continue reading Chrysler Nassau?

  • 2012 Ford Focus?

    Yet another illustration…But they all seem to be pointing in the same design direction: a larger Fiesta.Which would be just fine. By then it looks like Ford will have a very strong and competitive line up.But I still think the Fusion isn’t a great looking car.The body is the same as when the car came… Continue reading 2012 Ford Focus?

  • 2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid

    So it is coming after all, a hybrid version of the Q5.At the end of next year. Not sure this will have such an impact. The only competition being the Lexus RX Hybrid. And it seems Audi/VW has much better experience with Diesel technology. We’ll see… Here is what they say about their new year:… Continue reading 2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid

  • 2010 Audi A8 video

    I am sure it is a great car to drive, and a classy ride. But the “we have created a new Art” comment is so obnoxious for a car that looks like a giant A4…

  • Toyota’s official response.

    About the Los Angeles Time article from earlier.We’ll see if it works… Here is what they say: “Today the Los Angeles Times published an article that wrongly and unfairly attacks Toyota’s integrity and reputation. While outraged by the Times’ attack, we were not totally surprised. The tone of the article was foreshadowed by the phrasing… Continue reading Toyota’s official response.

  • 2011 Opel Meriva

    Over at Opel, it almost looks like business as usual, since GM decided to keep it.Were are getting the Regal from them, and it now looks like we are also getting the Wagon and sporty GS versions as well.A coupe, sedan and wagon versions of the Astra are also on track. And so is the… Continue reading 2011 Opel Meriva

  • Next Hyundai Azera

    So it looks like there will be a redesigned Azera after all.At least in some markets.The new model will have the quite uncomfortable position of being squeezed in between the new, and larger, Sonata and the Genesis.Not sure what they are thinking. Sure, Toyota has the Avalon and the Lexus GS. Nissan has the Maxima… Continue reading Next Hyundai Azera

  • BMW 535i GT

    As expected, the new 5 series GT will be available with a 6 cylinder in the US.Next spring. 300hp is more than enough for this kind of car. With a quite amazing torque curve that starts, and peaks, at 1200rpm! Here is the official word: “BMW 535i Gran Turismo with six-cylinder turbocharged engine The BMW… Continue reading BMW 535i GT
