• 2013 Renault Safrane

    The Safrane is back. Kind of.Renault has decided to offer its version of the new Samsung SM7 as a Renault for the Chinese Market.A smart move. Upscale sedans are very popular in China right now, and this gives Renault a decent offering. It is not sure yet if it will eventually make it in Europe,… Continue reading 2013 Renault Safrane

  • MG5

    We have seen spy pics of this car for a while now, so it should be ready to come out pretty soon.Recent MGs might not have much to do with the models from the “old days” but they are some of the best looking cars out of China.The MG6 is also being built in England… Continue reading MG5

  • Suzuki Jimny Concept

    Remember the old Samurai? It was sold in the US for 10 years starting in 1985. It was usually called the Jimny in other markets, and still is today. Except it had been redesigned since. Suzuki is now getting ready to show a concept version of the next generation.Which already looks quite weird. Especially the… Continue reading Suzuki Jimny Concept

  • 2013 Buick Encore

    Just a small glimpse of the interior of Buick’s upcoming compact SUV. The photo was taken while testing in China, which is now Buick’s largest market. We’ll see the whole thing with official pictures in just a few days.But so far, it looks rather boring to me. Nothing special. We’ll see..

  • 2013 Buick Encore

    GM just released another teaser of Buick’s upcoming small crossover.Looks a bit small to compete with the CRV.Maybe this could go against the Mazda5 or even the Nissan Juke and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.We will know everything in just a few days.And it looks pretty much exactly like the photo of the Opel version I posted… Continue reading 2013 Buick Encore

  • More pictures of the Prius Aqua

    These are pictures of the Japanese market version.We’ll have to wait a few days to see what the US version, called “Prius C”, will offer.But it’ll be pretty much the same. If its price undercuts the Honda Insight, they have a winner. They’ve already claimed the MPG will be better than the larger “regular” Prius.Which… Continue reading More pictures of the Prius Aqua

  • 2013 Fiat ?

    Not sure exactly what they will call it, but it looks like this 5 door hatch could be based on the 500.It’s not the new Panda, so not sure either what it would replace in the current line up. This could be a welcome addition to the 500 in the US.Fiat dealers do need something… Continue reading 2013 Fiat ?

  • 2013 VW Golf

    Another illustration. We might even se more before the car comes out. Which could be as early as next March.No matter what, it will be pretty close to this.VW never came out with a crazy redesign for the Golf. A best seller for so many years.It will be what Toyota does here with the Camry.… Continue reading 2013 VW Golf

  • 2013 Porsche Boxter

    There were a few pictures of an undisguised prototype a few months ago, and I thought it looked great.Now from Auto Express, we get to see the interior. And it looks great as well.Much nicer than the current model, but as usual, still a Porsche. What a great job. We will see the whole thing… Continue reading 2013 Porsche Boxter

  • 2013 Renault Zoe

    This will be the Renault’s first electric car.One would think it could be based on the Nissan Leaf. But the European press claims the car will start at a much cheaper 15 000 Euros.Which would be quite amazing for an electric car. But it might also not include battery rental. On sale in the summer… Continue reading 2013 Renault Zoe

  • Kia Ray EV

    This is the all electric version of the recently introduced little Kia Ray.A cute little mini box not available here. The EV version comes with a 86 miles range.Not a lot, but on par with most current electric cars.But it takes “only ” 6 hrs to fully charge. Or 25mn on what they call “fast”… Continue reading Kia Ray EV

  • 2013 Lexus IS?

    I hope not. The IS should be the most aggressive looking Lexus sedan, and this just looks like a mix between the current model and the new GS.Then again, they might surprise us with yet another boring design. Let’s hope their new concept we saw a few days ago indicates a new design direction. Something… Continue reading 2013 Lexus IS?

  • Lexus LF-LC Concept

    This is one attractive Lexus.Not sure yet if this will ever make it or not in production as the next SC or not. But it would be great, and exactly what Lexus needs.

  • 2013 Mazda6

    This is obviously an illustration based on the Takeri Concept.Which could be really close to the real thing. It does look nice, but a bit too close to the current, and low selling, model. I think Mazda needs something that stands out a bit more. The current one is a great car. And it looks… Continue reading 2013 Mazda6

  • Toyota NS4 Concept

    Not much s known yet.But it could be a new Plug in Hybrid concept. Looks pretty stylish so far. Maybe the long rumored Prius based coupe is on its way…

  • Nissan Pathfinder Concept

    This looks like another one of these concepts that is basically the upcoming production version with larger wheels.It already looks pretty nice. But I am not sure it has that “Pathfinder Look”. Nissan has been pretty good so far at making sure each new versions still looked like a Pathfinder. But this one is even… Continue reading Nissan Pathfinder Concept

  • Chevrolet Sonic RS

    This isn’t really a sporty version of the new Sonic.It has new wheels, a more aggressive front end, spoiler etc…It also gets a revised suspensionInside the new seats don’t really look sporty. The RS seems more like the kind of Sport package they were offering in the 70’s and 80’s. Bigger wheels instead of more… Continue reading Chevrolet Sonic RS

  • VW GTI Test Drive

    -HOW IT LOOKS.The GTI is basically a sporty version of the Golf. Always has been .A few years ago they just decided to drop the Golf name. So it just looks like a Golf with larger wheels and a more aggressive front end. Which is just fine. The shape isn’t really sporty, but it is… Continue reading VW GTI Test Drive

  • Mercedes SL: 10 years in the making.

    The top one is the all new 2013 model.While the car at the bottom is the 2003 model. I have never seen such little progress in a design, in 10 years. This is quite amazing.I am sure the new car is better in every other way. But design isn’t one of them…

  • 2013 Buick Encore/Opel

    These are obviously pictures of the European Opel Version.But besides a new grille, it does match the teaser photo of the new small Buick. So it is not a Meriva. But both are still based on the same platform.Which means we can expect the 1.4 Turbo to be the only engine available in the US,… Continue reading 2013 Buick Encore/Opel

  • 2013 Buick Encore

    Yet another new car for the 2012 Detroit auto show, the all new Buick Encore compact crossover.And a god idea for Buick to compete in a popular segment.Not sure what it will look like from that picture, but recent Buicks do look fine.There were rumors a while ago about a small SUV based on the… Continue reading 2013 Buick Encore
