2010 Prius Illustration
With over 350 000 Priuses sold this year, the new one will be major news. I remember when the current generation came out, Toyota was hoping to sell 60 00 a year. The next one might very well turn out to be more popular than the Camry. As we mentioned before, it’ll be at least… Continue reading 2010 Prius Illustration

Renault Scenic 3
I had the chance to drive the 1st version of the Scenic years ago in Europe. I thought it was a very nice car, just underpowered. ( I was driving the small 1.6 Liter version) I bet that 2 generations later it must be really nice. I would still take these pictures with a grain… Continue reading Renault Scenic 3

Subaru Exija
Let’s just all prat this doesn’t make it to the US. This tall, dorky looking station wagon with small wheels looks like it came out of 1995. At best.In a world where we can buy a new Ford Flex, there is just no excuse for cars like this one. I do like Subarus, but this… Continue reading Subaru Exija

Maxima diesel coming up. But…
But wait. it might be only available with a stick shift. While many people claim to “love” driving a stick, most Americans (that’s about 95%) still chose an automatic transmission when it’s time to actually buy a car. Even more in a large sedan.So Nissan’s decision is actually a way to say: “We’ll offer a… Continue reading Maxima diesel coming up. But…

New Beetle convertible review coming up.
I test drove the new Beetle a few years ago.It had, back then, a 2.0 Liter engine with a 6 speed auto.Now the engine is a 2.5 Liter with the same 6 speed auto. I remember really liking the car. And the lack of power really didn’t bother me that much in that kind of… Continue reading New Beetle convertible review coming up.

More on the “Euro Fords in the US” rumor.
Here some quotes from the Auto Savant article:-“Our sources at Ford say that Mr. Mulally has already made the decision to convert at least three truck/SUV production facilities in North America as soon as possible to produce Ford models currently sold in Europe, where Ford is renowned for its small cars. The timeline Mulally prefers,… Continue reading More on the “Euro Fords in the US” rumor.

VW/Apple car???
VW is said to be working with Apple on some new car device similar to Ford’s Sync from Microsoft.And this concept might just be what they’ll use as an official announcement. I remember even hearing about touchscreens for all 2009 VWs a few months ago. Which sounds actually impossible. 2009s are just around the corner.… Continue reading VW/Apple car???

C-Max in the US???
Another rumor. Ford would be retooling some of its US factories to produce a few Euro Ford models for the US.The C-Max would be one of them.But the same rumor also mentions the euro Focus, which would not make any sense… Who knows. with gas getting close to $5 a gallon, manufacturers are getting desperate….

Or will they replace it by something more specific to the US market.Who knows….First they told us we wouldn’t get the… Continue reading No new Rabbit for the US???
