Beijing Auto Works B40 Sport Jeep
Not sure what this is all about, but they seem to actually be using the name Jeep.I don’t know if this is even related to the Jeep brand, or if it is one of these Chinese copies. Where they don’t really care what they do. But hey, I think it looks nice. At least as… Continue reading Beijing Auto Works B40 Sport Jeep

No more 4 year warranty for US VWs
That’s right. If you want your new VW to be covered for 4 years, like it has been the case for years, you’d better get a 2008 model.Starting with the 2009 model year, the warranty will only cover the car for 3 years.But that will include “scheduled maintenance”. Which is pretty much a $30 oil… Continue reading No more 4 year warranty for US VWs

New Honda brand????
Honda is creating a specific brand for the Chinese market. Called Li Nian, together with its Chinese partner Guangzhou Automobile.I guess the Honda name alone wasn’t enough…This new concept shows what the first Li Nian will look like for 2010. And by the way, have they ever redesigned the small HRV???I saw a few in… Continue reading New Honda brand????

Brilliance BS4 Wagon
Another good looking one.By the way, the BS4 is not the one we saw last year on that horrible crash test video. That was the larger and older BS6 model.

Roewe 550
This one still looks good, no matter what picture.Just a good looking sedan. It could work outside of China. Except for that stupid name. Why didn’t they secure the use of the original Rover name when they bought the brand from BMW???Who would ever buy a “Roewe”? Try explaining that to your neighbour. “It’s almost… Continue reading Roewe 550

Geely GT Concept
This looked much better a few weeks ago, from early pictures released.On the show floor it looks like most recent Chinese concepts. A cartoonish version of what it intends to be.

Buick Invicta Concept
From the Auto Show floor. On these pictures, at least, the car looks almost weird. Something strange with the proportions.And like most concepts, the roofline looks really low. Which means many changes before production. or maybe it’s just the pictures. The lens, the angle etc… Who knows…

VW Lavida
Now for something larger and more luxurious. Seems that the new Bora is pretty much a Chinese equivalent to our Jetta, this one is what they get instead of the Passat.(Unless they get the Passat also…) VW has announced they will replace the Passat in the US with an all new model. More specific to… Continue reading VW Lavida

VW New Bora
The Bora was the old Jetta. So I guess this is the new Jetta for the Chinese market? Except for the grille, this car could be anything from a Kia to a Toyota. Nothing much says VW…The interior looks like a revised version of our old Jetta.

Honda Freed
This doesn’t look official.But there a rumor about Honda working on a small minivan ( a mini-minivan) based on the new redesigned Fit.So I guess this could be it. Or not….
