Chery S1/QQme
Whatever its name ends up being, the new small Chery car from China has got to be the most cartoonish design on the road. Anywhere. It makes the New Beetle and Mini Cooper look like Crown Victorias.

2010 Mazda CX7
I always liked the look of the CX7, and at least they didn’t ruin it. At least for me. Besides a new face, it gets the new Mada6 2.5 Liter with 161hp as a base engine.A good idea. The Turbo motor is still available. Still with 244hp.

Acura TSX is getting a V6
For the 2010 model year, the smallest Acura will get a 3.5 Liter V6 with 280hp.More than enough for a car this size. I guess they gave up on trying to be different by offering a 4 cylinder in a class where almost everything else has a V6.The 2.4 Liter is still available as a… Continue reading Acura TSX is getting a V6

Stingray Concept
This will be seen in the new Transformers movie soon.But I think, if they tone it down a bit, it could be quite a nice looking Corvette. It needs a shot of personality right now. Something. And I can’t believe I’d like to see a “toned down” version of anything…

2010 Ford Taurus SHO
The SHO is back, in a big way:-365hp!– AWD.-Paddle shifters-19 inch wheels It just sounds and looks great so far…. But not cheap, at $38 000.

2010 Saab 9-3X
I guess this is ore or less the “Outback” of Saabs.I got to drive a 9-3 Wagon for a week a while ago, and it was a great car.Good looking, solid and comfortable.This new version should be quite popular. But an all new version like this also means the current 9-3 range will be around… Continue reading 2010 Saab 9-3X

2010 Chevrolet Spark
Not sure if this is the US or European version or not. But they did mention the Spark in Detroit, so we should be getting it.Not sure yet if this will replace the Aveo or be an even cheaper car over here. They will offer both in Europe, the Spark being smaller. It would compete… Continue reading 2010 Chevrolet Spark

Next Opel Astra
Another good looking compact. That was supposed to become our new Saturn Astra. Now they claim “everything is on the table” for Saturn.Including selling it. Which is impossible and they know it. Nobody will buy a brand that depends 100% on other GM cars.That’s why they’re trying to make Saab “more independent”. We’ll know more… Continue reading Next Opel Astra

Hyundai will unveil this new concept at the upcoming geneva auto show. Unlike most of their previous concepts, this one is pretty much what the next Tucson will look like (Now called iX35 in Europe).They are also talking about a new 2.0 Liter Turbo with over 200hp as an optional engine.

An electric version will follow the next year. Not sure if they will offer some “less utilitarian” version or… Continue reading 2010 Ford Transit Connect

2010 LexusGX/Toyota Land Cruiser
This would be the “non US” Land Cruiser. (Our larger Land Cruiser was redesigned last year). The one sold her as the Lexus GX, which is a version of our Toyota 4 Runner.These will both be redesigned soon. I hear Toyota was even thinking of canceling them , due to the horrible car market. Not… Continue reading 2010 LexusGX/Toyota Land Cruiser

Hyundai Equus Interior
Looks expensive.And conservative. That’s what the Equus has always been.

Next Chevrolet Aveo?
This is a picture of the Chinese model. The Aveo Lova. We’ll see if this becomes the Aveo on other markets…

Ford Transit Connect
The little Euro Ford commercial van is supposed to make it into the US sometime this year. Or the next.but not before it gets a few revisions. Mainly a new front end and interior, as seen on these pictures.This is the current version. the one we won’t get…

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
If you forget about the concept they showed us before, this is actually a really nice looking car.And pretty much the only competition to the Mazda3 hatchback, at least in the US. And the 3rd pic shows how great “small” hatchback cars are. About as roomy as a compact SUV/Crossover. For much less money and… Continue reading 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
