2010 Subaru Legacy
The all new Legacy seems to be exactly what Subaru doesn’t need: another boring conservative looking sedan that will never stand out from the crowd… Too bad. Once again, they missed an opportunity to come up with a nice design for what has always been a very good car. Good luck…

Ford Focus X Road
For Europe only.As you can see, this “Outback” type little wagon is based on the Euro Focus, not the one sold here.And it’s mostly a visual trick, not a real off road wagon.

Detroit electric to sell Proton cars in the US.
This small US company closed back in 1939. But has been revived last year by the Chinese Youngman Automotive Group.So I guess that means that it’s a Chinese company. Pretty much like RCA TVs that are made by TCL, a Chinese company… Detroit Electric will be using models from Proton and turn them into electric… Continue reading Detroit electric to sell Proton cars in the US.

Brilliance BS4 crash test
This Chinese sedan got no stars in the new Euro NCAP crash test. Zero.To be honest, I have to mention that these tests have been recently revised and are much tougher.

Jaguar XF Wagon
Could be really nice looking. At least from this illustration. Jaguar’s new owner did mention that a wagon version of the XF sedan is coming out soon. A very good idea to compete with Mercedes and BMW.Now, how about a really good smaller Jag to compete with the 3 series and the C class…

Chinese Jac B926 sedan
What an attractive name… But the car itself looks pretty decent.Better than the Corolla we get over here. Looks like Chinese cars are coming over here soon no matter what.Either as Saturns, but I also hear maybe through Costco. Just like Visio TVs.

New Honda non car/non SUV thingy…
This is basically a hatch version of the Accord on stilts.I guess this would share the platform with the new Acura model coming out at the end of the year. Why not just offer a hatch version of the Accord, with an AWD option?

Wagoner quits!
GM’s big boss, Rick Wagoner is quitting the company.Apparently, this move is part of the restructuring agreement with the Obama administration. GM has been doing pretty badly for years. Losing $82 billion in the past 4 years alone.Someone has to take the blame. Who do you think should replace it? My vote goes for Bob… Continue reading Wagoner quits!
