Jaguar F-Type
They are showing off a little bit more of the new F-Type this week end.Looks like we might even get a look at the interior. So far, it looks great. even with all the crappy looking camouflage. Even has a more Jaguar feel and look than last year’s C-X16 concept. I can’t wait.

Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake
After a 4 door coupe, now a 4 door Shooting Brake. Which is basically a hatchback version, or a wagon, of the 4 door. This is pretty much the car we saw as a concept over 2 years ago. So there is absolutely no surprises here.It’s also too bad the CLS, 4 or 5 door,… Continue reading Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake

More pictures of the all new Mitsubishi Outlander
Sure, it does look a bit better than the current one. Although its design was never what was wrong with it, really.The super cheap interior, tiny doors, horrible CVT etc… This is what needs to be fixed. The new one is very generic and even more boring inside where it could be anything from any… Continue reading More pictures of the all new Mitsubishi Outlander

More pictures of the Cadillac ATS
New “action” shots of the small Cadillac sedan.Not sure if these look better, or if I am just getting used to the design. But I kind of like it. A bit more.Still, I wish the front grille wasn’t so.. Soft and boring… But the profile seems fine. And the interior as well. From these shots… Continue reading More pictures of the Cadillac ATS

2013 Chevrolet Spin
Yep. Everything screams “cheap”. the tiny wheels, the lack of radio, the 80’s looking cloth inside.Everything. This Chevrolet is not for the US but mostly Brazil. Where there must be a need for super cheap transportation for 7. Still, they could have made it a bit more attractive.

2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
That was kind of a surprise.Although the all new Avalon is still offered with the good old 3.5 Liter V6, there is now a new Hybrid choice.With a 2.5 Liter engine with 200hp. A similar set up is used in the current Camry. But the Avalon is a big car, and a big car that… Continue reading 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid

Jaguar F-Type teaser video.
Yes, technically, the car appears in the video.But it is so fast you can’t see it. Or even grab a frame from it. We’ll just have to wait a little longer to actually see it.I can’t wait for this car. Finally a smaller jag convertible to compete with the Boxter, Z4 and SLK.

Acura RLX Concept video
One of the best videos I have seen, for one of the most boring looking car ever. This car will never be noticed like it is in this short film.Only paid extras would turn their heads when it drives by. There is absolutely nothing new, nothing that stands out, nothing that says “buy me instead… Continue reading Acura RLX Concept video

Nissan Leaf test Drive. Part two.
I had to return the leaf after a few days. And I must say, I was sad to see it go.It is a great little car to drive.Not as sporty or fast as the Volt, but it has its own quiet personality.A light, but precise, steering, and a super smooth ride will please most. And… Continue reading Nissan Leaf test Drive. Part two.

All new Acura RLX
These are images of the new RL replacement for next year.I guess they think adding an “X” to the name makes it more modern.Because the “new” design is not. Really not. It looks like a combo of at least 12 cars. And could win the price of most generic looking car ever made.What a disgrace… Continue reading All new Acura RLX

Nissan Leaf test Drive. Part one.
The Leaf instantly feels like something special.After the Volt, this is my second experience with an electric car.And I must say, I love the smooth gliding feeling the electric motor provides. Plus, the added bonus of the ” Driving the future” feeling. The driving position id about perfect. Not too high but not too low.It… Continue reading Nissan Leaf test Drive. Part one.

Chevrolet Cruze Wagon
Just a few new pictures GM released of the wagon version of the popular Cruze.Which is still not for us. But they said the same about the Diesel. Which is coming over here sometime next year.As well as the new front end. Looks like they made a few changes inside as well. The current version… Continue reading Chevrolet Cruze Wagon

2013 Kia Sorento
It’s official now. And still not a big improvement. Change for the sake of change.Which is OK, I guess. Interior pix coming up soon.

Kia Ceed Coupe
The new Ceed is out in Europe. And the sedan version is coming over here as the new Forte. This future 2 door version is for Europe only. Although a US Coupe could be based on it. Let’s hope Kia follows Hyundai and decides to add the hatchback versions to the next Forte line up… Continue reading Kia Ceed Coupe

VW Passat Test Drive. Part three.
I had to return the Passat TDI yesterday, but not before taking it for a few drives on the freeway.Where the diesel really shines.My gas mileage was between around 53 and 58MPG. Quite amazing.And far better than the official numbers. And similar to what I got last year with the Golf TDI. I have no… Continue reading VW Passat Test Drive. Part three.

Buick Verano Turbo
Coming soon with 250hp. And a 6 speed manual will be available (If you can ever find one one). It seems that Buick has decided to really push the Verano, instead of the better Regal.The larger Regal Turbo has “only” 220hp. (Although it may also use the 250hp engine next year.) The Verano is fine,… Continue reading Buick Verano Turbo

2013 Chevrolet Volt
As we know, GM has just announced a few small changes for the 2013 Volt.Among them, a 3 miles improvement for the all electric mode. Not much, but fine… Worse are the design changes they made to the car. No more black roof or rear hatch trim.Both of which helped the Volt be a little… Continue reading 2013 Chevrolet Volt

2013 Nissan Altima starts production
The second assembly line for the all new Altima started just a couple of days ago in Missouri.The car is also being built in Tennessee. Looks like Nissan has big hopes for the new Altima. I am scheduled to test drive one in a few weeks, which should be interesting to compare with the Passat… Continue reading 2013 Nissan Altima starts production

Kia Sorento
The Sorento is getting a new front end.A not so new one… Not sure what else. At least new rear lights as well.And maybe something new inside. Who knows….Here is the current model. Which is pretty much the same…. Really…

2014/15 VW Golf Coupe
Not the 1st time I hear these rumors.About a small “CC”. Based on the next Golf, or the Jetta. Whatever it ends up being, they will probably call it Jetta Coupe in the US. The Jetta being so much popular here than the Golf. I guess this could compete with the new small Mercedes “4… Continue reading 2014/15 VW Golf Coupe

VW Passat Test Drive. Part two.
The new Passat is a fine and upscale looking car. But it is also blander than the previous generation. (The one still sold in Europe)This new US Passat’s mission is to take on the Camry, and it shows.The interior is also not as nice as the previous one. The top of the dash seems very… Continue reading VW Passat Test Drive. Part two.

Opel Astra Sedan
Opel has finally revealed the sedan version of the Astra.Which is pretty much the car we have had here as the Buick Verano. Except for a few changes. Mostly the grill of course. But the rear end seems much better on the Opel.More like a small Insignia. Here is our Verano. With its more blocky… Continue reading Opel Astra Sedan
