• 2012/13 BMW 3 series GT

    Still, just another illustration.But there won’t be many surprises when the new 3 series comes out early next year.And the GT will just be a hatchback version of the sedan. It might work better than the 5 series GT which looks too heavy and bloated.Will compete in Europe with the Audi A5 Sportback. Which does… Continue reading 2012/13 BMW 3 series GT

  • 2012 Kia K9

    Another photo of the upcoming big “Genesis based” Kia sedan. This will probably not make it into the US. We haven’t even seen the smaller K7 (Cadenza) yet. We’ll see…

  • Buick Verano

    Just a new picture of the all new small Opel Astra based small Buick. Outside. (From a recent event in Baltimore) It might actually look pretty good in real life.I saw a few Astras last time I was in Europe, and they do look really good. So an “Astra with a trunck” could still be… Continue reading Buick Verano

  • 2012 Hyindai Elantra coupe

    The Elantra is one of the best looking compact sedan on the market.And it already seems very popular too. They seem to be everywhere. The upcoming coupe might be another nail in the 2012 Civic coffin.The new Civic hasn’t been getting great reviews so far.That’s on top of the fact that the new designs looks… Continue reading 2012 Hyindai Elantra coupe

  • Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster

    The stunning retro futuristic Mercedes is now offered as a convertible.Quite a looker. Sure, you do miss the cool Gullwing doors from the coupe. So it is not as original.But still… Specs are similar to the coupe, with a 6.3 Liter V8 with 563hp and a 7 speed auto.

  • 2012 Nissan Versa

    Looking pretty bad in real life too.Sure, nothing looks great with blacked out sticker and no wheel covers.But still.It looks too tall and odd. But I guess not worse than the current model, which has been a good seller for Nissan.

  • Ford Fiesta ST

    Just an illustration so far, but the 200hp version of the small Fiesta is coming up.Using an Ecoboost Turbo version of the 1.6 Liter engine. It does sound like a fun car.

  • 2012 Toyota Camry

    Hidden behind one of the weirdest camouflage I have ever seen. Don’t expect anything drastic though. I really don’t think the new Camry will try to push the envelope like the recent Kia and Hyundai models.They are, instead, focusing on keeping the hundreds of thousands who keep buying Camrys year after year. Competing more with… Continue reading 2012 Toyota Camry

  • 2012 VW Up/Lupo

    The all new small “UP” model from VW will end up replacing the aging Lupo in some markets.Not sure what it’ll be called here. This illustration gives us an idea of what the production version will look like.It’ seems pretty close to the latest concept seen a while ago.

  • 2012 Scion FR-S

    Testing in Germany. Like everything else these days… Not sure if it is indeed the Scion/Toyota or the Subaru version. Both have been caught testing and they don’t look that different from each other. No matter what, it’ll be nice to get 2 new small RWD coupe, hopefully starting at around $20 000.There isn’t that… Continue reading 2012 Scion FR-S

  • 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

    With all these new Hyundai models in the past couple of years, I was wondering about the good old Santa Fe. Well, the next one looks pretty much ready to come out. Next year will see the all new Santa Fe. Just wondering of it’ll keep the V6, or, like the Sonata, will rely on… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

  • Audi does it right

    Unlike BMW. How to come up with a good looking wagon, a great looking hatchback. All from a conservative looking sedan….

  • 2012/13 Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake

    Fancy, and old fashion, name for “wagon”. The new CLS is quite a good looking car (although I still do prefer the previous version), so this wagon version could be one of the best looking of its kind. Ever.

  • 2012 Peugeot 309

    The redesigned 308 compact from Peugeot will, as usual, get a new name.It could be 309, but also 301. It does look pretty modern. Even compared to other good looking European compacts like the Astra or the new Focus.But we’ll never see one. Unless some of us travel to Europe next year…

  • 40 years ago….

    I guess the “Big VW” is now the much more conservative Passat.The cool Volvo P1800 is the C30. But Fiat doesn’t have a convertible anymore. (Except the 500)Citroen does not have anything like the SM either. And the Celica died in 2006. (although the upcoming Scion RWD Coupe will carry that torch…)

  • 2012 Mercedes ML

    Looking like an SUV version of the boxy E Class.Sure, it does look a bit better than the GLK, but that’s not saying much. The current model still looks good, and better than this. We’ll see when they release actual pictures, but the one above does seem to match every spy shot I have seen… Continue reading 2012 Mercedes ML

  • New 20120 MG5

    As you can guess, this will fit under the MG6 and the small MG3.The MG 6 just started production in England a few weeks ago. The interior on this prototype looks really nice. Far better than almost anything else from China.It looks like MG might become the 1st Chinese manufacturer to really become a contender… Continue reading New 20120 MG5

  • Kia Tam

    A surprising tiny new car from Kia.Looking pretty much ready to come out soon. It also looks like it would be mostly for the local Korean market. Maybe Europe as well.But I am not sure Kia is ready to sell this in the US. But who knows. Rising gas prices have plenty to do with… Continue reading Kia Tam

  • 2012 Audi A6 Avant

    Back in “the days”, Avant used to mean the hatchback versions of various Audi and VW models.Now it just means “wagon”. The new A6 is a good looking car, if a bit boring and predictable. And so is the wagon version.It is exactly what you think it would look like. Unlike the CTS wagon, which… Continue reading 2012 Audi A6 Avant

  • More pictures of the all new Opel Zafira

    No surprises inside. It looks like another version of the theme used in the Astra and the Insignia.Which would be right at home next to the Verano and Regal. Engines range from 110hp to 165hp.Including the 1.4 Liter Turbo with 140hp used in the Cruze.
