  • 2011 VW Sharan

    I guess they show us the interior first… Something we don’t see every day in a US Minivan: a stick shift on the floor. If VW really wanted to offer an alternative to the sea of Japanese minivans in the US, this would be a good choice.

  • 5 door Mini?

    As you can see on this illustration, it wouldn’t take much. Mini could just take the new Countryman body and lower it. And voila! A 5 door Mini. A cheap way to add yet another model to an ever expending line up. The roadster is coming soon too. Should they do it?

  • 2011 Kia Optima

    Just a few details. After a few teaser illustrations last week. We’ll see the whole thing very soon.

  • 2011 Renault Espace

    The Espace has always been one of the most futuristic minivan around. I guess the next one will keep the tradition going. Walking on that fine line between super modern and just too weird…

  • Buick coupe coming up?

    That’s what they’ve been saying. Buick would like a coupe in their line up. One advice from Mr.Burlapp: just find a way to build a production version of the amazing looking Riviera concept from 2007. And ad a convertible version. It could very well be based on the upcoming Regal/Insignia platform. Buick seems to be… Continue reading Buick coupe coming up?

  • 2012 Cadillac ATS?

    This seems to match the spy picture I posted a few weeks ago about the upcoming small Cadillac. The ATS will also come as a coupe and a convertible. The perfect small Cadillac for the brand to re-enter he European market. The RWD sedan will be about the size of 3 series BMW. This is… Continue reading 2012 Cadillac ATS?

  • Opel Ampera production model

    The Ampera was shown as a prototype before. This is the production version that should come out sometime after the Volt. So it’s basically a Volt with an Opel front end, for the European market. We’ve seen the Volt so much already that the Opel version looks almost fresh and new. And a bit more… Continue reading Opel Ampera production model

  • 2010 VW Cross Golf

    The Cross version of the Golf has been available in Europe for a few years. But now it receives the new VW front end that all VWs must have. The Cross Golf is actually based on the slightly larger, and taller Golf Plus, not available in the US. And just like the Cross Polo we… Continue reading 2010 VW Cross Golf

  • 2011 Porsche Cayenne

    I guess people who like the current one might like this. I never liked the Cayenne much. Never really got over the idea of it… This looks a bit busier. And I don’t think a dark beige interior should be in a Porsche. Light tan and black combo is good, but that Japanese sedan beige… Continue reading 2011 Porsche Cayenne

  • 2013 Saab 9-1

    On, off, on, off again. Now the rumor of a small Saab 9-1 is on again. Just days after the sell of Saab became official. It seems that the new owners are interested in competing with the Mini and Audi A1. Why not. I just hope it does look better than this horrible illustration.

  • Hummer is dead.

    We are finally rid of these obnoxious beasts. I don’t mind big cars, but the vulgarity of these things was pretty unbearable. Even the Chinese company that was supposed to get it couldn’t make a strong enough case to the Chinese government. They’re OK with political prisoners, but want nothing to do with Hummer.

  • Next Toyota RAV4?

    That’s what I was told but I can’t really tell. Under that kind of camouflage, most compact SUVs look the same. What do you think?

  • Lexus CT 200h Interior

    Nothing really spectacular, but it does seem upscale. Plus, it is the only hybrid in its class. Something other premium Euro compacts don’t offer. Yet…
