Another one???
Really?? Another “4 door coupe”? This time from Ford.Do they really think this market is that big?The Passat CC isn’t out yet, there are rumors of a couple of 4 door coupes from Audi. Who else?And why? Why not make the regular sedans that good looking on the first place. Not roomy enough?That’s why they… Continue reading Another one???

More!
More, and better, colors for the upcoming Kia Soul. I really think this will be a big seller for Kia. And this price point, image isn’t that important. It looks really good, Kia’s quality has been very decent lately. And by the time this comes out, gas will be closer to $5 a gallon. Plus,… Continue reading More!

Kia Soul
The xB will finally get some competition next fall with the all new, and better looking, Kia Soul.I guess it would also be cheaper.And with a smaller engine, get better mileage as well. Life will be even tougher for the Scion breadbox when the new Nissan Cube shows up around the same time…

Please make them stop!
Someone need to get the message to design studios around the world that the little fake window behind the rear door just doesn’t work.It always looks like ass.It looked assy on the Sebring. And it doesn’t look much better on upcoming designs like the Mazda6 or the new Chevy/Daewoo Cobalt.There is no way they can… Continue reading Please make them stop!

Already in a garage???
Looks like at least one of the new 2009 Mazda 6 was found at a garage, or a dealership.Not sure when these actually come out, but it looks ready. Looking good. But is it good enough to steal from the leaders?What does it take to put a Honda or Toyota loyalist into a Mazda??? More… Continue reading Already in a garage???

More Interior pictures
Of the all new Hyundai Genesis Coupe. It looks pretty decent, but nothing really exiting. The dash is really conservative. Nothing that would say “I must have one”. I guess, once again for Hyundai, low price will be what will tempt most buyers.Plus the 2.0 Liter Turbo should be getting decent gas mileage.

In the contest for the cutest car on the road, a new contender has emerged.Fiat has announced it will produce a convertible version of the new 500. I just hope we get the 500 one way or another in the US. But I’m afraid that by the time Fiat figure things out, the car won’t… Continue reading Watch out

2009 Maxima Test drive
This one from Popular Mechanic.No mention of price of fuel economy. And they actually don’t say much about how it drives. It looks like they drove it as some Nissan presentation of the new 2009 Maxima. But still. They seem to like it. More if you click on the title.

Skoda Superb video
I can’t get past the name “Skoda Superb”. So obnoxious.Imagine the Kia Amazing…. Here is an interesting video shot in Europe of the new big VW based Skoda.To me it still looks like a heavy looking, chromed out VW. Not elegant or modern at all.Maybe the Passat didn’t appeal enough to the over 70 crowd.… Continue reading Skoda Superb video

The wait is almost over
The next BMW 7 series is now only wearing silly looking tape as a camouflage. So you can pretty much see what it looks like.Like I said before, nothing to get excited about. I thought BMW was supposed to be sportier than Mercedes? I guess not all of them.This one goes against the S Class.… Continue reading The wait is almost over

VW Routan prices
it’ll start at $24 700 for the base model.A loaded SELL model will be $38 400! I haven’t priced minivans lately, but $38 400 seems crazy to me.And the base model comes with a 3.8 Liter engine with 197hp.That’s right. Less than 200hp form a big 3.8 Liter engine. In 2008! Blame Chrysler for that… Continue reading VW Routan prices

That’s what Mark Fields said to Automotive News. The C max and all new Kuga are coming to the US. When? No one knows for sure.We’re also getting the next Euro Focus. With the dollar so cheap, it would make these Euro models pretty expensive now. Unless they make them in Mexico.And with Mercury almost… Continue reading They’re coming!
