2012 Citroen C4 Aircross
This new Citroen is actually a version of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Known is Europe as the ASX. I must say, the Europeans have done quite a job turning the boring looking Mitsubishi into something much more interesting and modern.No pictures of the interior yet. The ASX is as boring inside as it is outside.… Continue reading 2012 Citroen C4 Aircross

2013 Ford Fusion/Mondeo
These illustrations do resemble the spy shots we have seen for the past few months.So it could be pretty close. Or not…. It is still early. Once this is for sure, the next Fusion will look 100 times better than the current one which looked pretty dated when it came out.I know it is a… Continue reading 2013 Ford Fusion/Mondeo

2013 BMW 3 series coupe
This illustration is probably close to the real thing. We have already seen most of the new 3 series sedan for 2013. This looks like a mix of it and the new 6 series.Not a big improvement over the current good looking coupe if you ask me…

2012 Skoda Citigo
As you can see, it didn’t take Skoda too long to get their own version of the all new VW Up! Specs are similar as well. With a 1.0 Liter engine with 60 or 75hp. Skoda is supposed to be a cheaper brand than VW, so the Citigo should be even cheaper than the Up!But… Continue reading 2012 Skoda Citigo

2012 Subaru Impreza
These pictures were sent to me by a reader from NYC, Marcin. As you can see, the new Impreza doesn’t seem to look much better “in the flesh”.One of the blockiest and most boring design I have seen in years. Looking rather cheap too. I will file this one under “what were they thinking?”. Same… Continue reading 2012 Subaru Impreza

A few more pictures of the all new Hyundai Eon
Again, this tiny Hundai is mostly for the Indian market where it will compete with the Tata Nano.A small 800 cc engine powers it. I think they did quite a good job, considering price and size restrictions.Especially with the interior. Which seems vastly superior to the Nano.

Toyota’s new fake engine noise on Prius
It does make sense. Making sure people can hear a Hybrid coming.The noise they came up with sounds like a car from a Science Fiction movies from the 60’s, which is actually pretty cool. I just hope you can’t hear it from inside the car. Which could become truly annoying after a while…

2012 Hyundai Eon
These are real pictures of the all new super small Hyundai. I had posted official sketches earlier.As far as I can tell, the Eon is not a replacement for the i10 sold in Europe. It is even smaller and cheaper.Power will come from a new 3 cylinder engine. This is, so far, mostly for the… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Eon

2012 Nissan Versa test drive
-LOOKS.The Nissan Versa has never been the best looking car around. I think the previous generation was actually the worst looking car in the US. (But that’s just me… And a few others) The all new model does improve things a bit. For 2012, the hatchback version still retains the old design. It will be… Continue reading 2012 Nissan Versa test drive

2012 Honda CRV “Concept”
Not much here to see. Especially after seeing the patent pictures of the production model yesterday.Bigger wheels, more aggressive bumper etc… Otherwise it is the regular 2012 model, not a real concept car.

2012 Honda CRV
The CRV has been popular in the US for many years.This all new design should keep that trend. I drove the current CRV and always thought it was a very nice car. Except for the interior. But that’s a matter of taste.I am sure the new one drives even a bit better, get better fuel… Continue reading 2012 Honda CRV

2012 Hyundai Eon
The tiny Eon will be Hyundai’s cheapest car.It is going on sale in India in a bout a month. Where it will compete with the Tata nano, while not being as cheap. This is a tiny car, we are talking about a small 800CC engine producing 56hp. Needless to say, this will not be sold… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Eon

New shameless clones from China
I had never heard of the “Sichuan Yema” brand before. But here are 3 of their new models recently introduced.We can all recognize the original designs. Shamelessly stollen by this pathetic car company. Just when you though some original stuff was coming out of China, mainly from MG/Roewe. Still a long, long way to go…..

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Not sure if this new front end makes the car better looking or not.It’s not as simple as before. And maybe resemble the rest of the cheaper Hyundai models a bit too much. The Genesis coupe is a great car no matter what. I am now curious to see what they came up with for… Continue reading 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

2012 Nissan Versa test drive coming up
I really don’t know how any of you could have guess what car I was driving from the obscure picture I posted earlier. But you did. So yes, I am currently driving the newly redesigned Versa sedan. And will answer any questions you might have about the car.

2012 Toyota Avensis
The current Avensis has been out in Europe for 3 years and Toyota has decided to give it a mid cycle refresh.It works. With few changes the car looks better, more modern and aggressive. And, this 3 year old design still looks much better than our all new 2012 Camry. Inside and out! It’s a… Continue reading 2012 Toyota Avensis

More pictures of the all new Hyundai i30
In my opinion, this is much better than the new Euro Civic. And it does have quite a European feel to it that could help it become more popular there. Hyundai is saying they are still “committed” to offer over here a “touting” version of the Elantra. The previous Touring sold in the US was… Continue reading More pictures of the all new Hyundai i30

More pictures of the all new Honda Euro Civic
While it does look much better than the sad looking sedan we are getting in the US, it still doesn’t look as good to me as the previous version.Especially the interior. Which, just like the US version, seems to be a step back.It is also sad to notice that even in Europe, Honda keep offering… Continue reading More pictures of the all new Honda Euro Civic

Maserati Kubang
After years of speculation, it is real. Maserati will build an SUV.I guess why not. If even Porsche does it, and is successful at it.This could increase Maserati sales drastically. And, at least from these pictures, it does look like a Maserati. The Kubang is supposed to be based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee. But… Continue reading Maserati Kubang
