2009 Acura TSX
the first official picture.And I must say, this looks better than I thought.I think the grille works on this one. It is different enough, but not as weird and horrifying as the new RL. The TSX is basically a loaded car for under $30 000. And I think a good value and a really good… Continue reading 2009 Acura TSX

Pontiac G6 test drive
There is no doubt the G6 is a good looking sedan. I even like the almost weird feel of the very long wheelbase. It just isn’t your average family sedan.Many people have compared it to the super good looking concept GM showed us before the production car was introduced. And it’s not really fair. Sure… Continue reading Pontiac G6 test drive

Skoda Superb wagon
That’s just an illustration, but it already looks much better than the sedan. VW is planning a new sedan for the US market only. To better compete against the cheaper Japanese competition.And there is a rumor floating around that is might be based on the ‘cheaper than Passat” Superb.Let’s hope they design something specific for… Continue reading Skoda Superb wagon

Next Toyota Avensis
Already looking slicker than any sedan Toyota offers over here.This will be the Euro Accord’s main competition in Europe. (Unless you count all the other european sedans out there)

Guessing the next TSX
Here is what a reader sent me. (Our “old friend” Ricardo Head)He just added the new RL grille to the TSX/Euro Accord body. Don’t laugh. This is closer to the real thing that you might think.Look at the second picture. It is super grainy but you can see the new grille . They covered it… Continue reading Guessing the next TSX

new 2009 Nissan Z
The Z will have a new skin and a new engine at the 2008 Los Angeles auto Show in November.The engine will be new for the Z, but it is the 3.7 Liter already in use in the Infiniti G Coupe. Insiders say the design, although all new, will be an evolution of the current… Continue reading new 2009 Nissan Z

2010 Focus???
Ford has claimed before that we’ll get the same model as in Europe when the Focus is redesigned in a couple of years.No more “US only” model. But don’t count on getting any cool hatchback design anymore. They might pool a Verve on us and offer only the trunk version in the US and keep… Continue reading 2010 Focus???

VW Jetta video rerun
Hey, with the writers strike and all, isn’t everybody getting used to reruns? And when it’s beautiful work as this video, why not watch over and over?I still do not like the new Jetta. I drove it again since my last review, and I find the engine still rough and noisy. And the interior design… Continue reading VW Jetta video rerun

The Monster
They turn what was an OK but boring car into a monster.All it needed was a $10 000 price drop. Let’s hope this is a flop, for the sake of all the good taste that’s left in the world….

New Mitsuoka
When you think the new Corolla is too boring, you can ask these guys to transform it into what might be the most vulgar looking car on the road.I am not sure how much this cost, but it is worth every penny.

2009 Ford Edge Sport video
Nothing special. Just the new Edge driving around on the snow.But again, the ‘sport” isn’t that special either…

Renault Clio facelift
Already??? I guess time flies when you never actually see these cars in the streets.It looks like the new Renault look gets rid of any grille whatsoever. replacing it with larger openings below the bumper.A cleaner look.Over here, grilles get bigger, or more square. Like the US Accord….

Euro Accord wagon
With the Euro grille. Not the belt buckle we’re getting on our Acura TSX.And, again, we won’t see the wagon. But there is a good chance we might get to see the new diesel.

2009 Sonata
Hyundai has announced that the 2009 Sonata will cost up to $1600 more than last year’s model.That’s for the Limited.But the base model is now a few dollars more than a Camry and about $700 more than the new Malibu. I think these guys are either way ahead of the public perception of their brand.… Continue reading 2009 Sonata

Audi Q5
Just like the Q7 looks like a bloated A6 wagon. This turns out to be looking like a bloated A3 wagon.No surprises here. But that’s always the story with Audi: no surprises.I guess they have enough of a following around the world. So they don’t really need more than one design for their entire line… Continue reading Audi Q5

2009 Honda Pilot PR BS
Great to see these guys trying to explain one of the worse design from the Detroit Auto Show.
