Tesla Model S
This is the new Tesla sedan. Still called a concept.But this is pretty much what the production version will look like.The all electric sedan is expected to cost about $50 000 when it goes on sale. Tesla has also said they are developing an even more affordable car. This is already pretty much the same… Continue reading Tesla Model S

All new Opel Astra
It looks pretty much like the thousands of illustrations we’ve seen of it in the past 2 years.This was supposed to make it over here as a Saturn.Now, who knows… There will be a sedan version for some markets, so that version might still make it over here. But as what?A small Buick???

Tata Nano test drive
One of the 1st test drives of the Indian version of the Nano.Again, different from the one we’ll get over here. With a larger engine, longer wheelbase, revised interior etc…

2010 JAC Eagle
This new Chinese SUV/Crossover thing should be coming out next year.With yet another 2.0 Liter Turbo engine.(Seems that almost every new car has or will have a 2.0 Liter Turbo…) Doesn’t look that bad Another mix of 5 or 6 other designs…

Nano in the US???
The head of Inidan car maker Tata is saying the small Nano is heading for the US.Maybe as soon as 2010. Our version will be closer to the Euro-spec model pictured here than the bare bone Indian version that went on sale a few days ago for $2000.The Euro version is expected to cost at… Continue reading Nano in the US???

New Chinese Buick Excelle
The new small Buick for China will be based on the Chevrolet Cruze.No surprises here. the “old” one was based on the Daewoo model sold here as the Suzuki Forenza. This small Buick will not be sold in the US. We still might get a version of the larger Opel Insignia based Buick Regal.The current… Continue reading New Chinese Buick Excelle

Another Smart 4 door illustration
This one seems pretty realistic.Just a stretched version of the current car, with smallish rear doors.Looks cheap enough to make to be real. Let’s hope they come up with something a little more exciting…

1.8 Liter Audi TT coming up
In Europe only. So far… The 1.8 Liter engine is good for 158hp. And it could cost as much as $5000 less than the regular 2.0 Liter engine. I say why not.The Miata I drove a while ago had about the same power and it was fine.If this cuts $5000 off the TT price I’m… Continue reading 1.8 Liter Audi TT coming up

More pictures of the “new” VW GTI
The current model is still a very nice looking car.I saw the new Golf in Europe a few months ago. And besides the “too big” rear lights, it looks really good.With 210hp, it’s also very similar to the current model. We’ll get to see it over here at the end of this year. With the… Continue reading More pictures of the “new” VW GTI

Toyota Auris Hybrid
In an effort to better compete with the “cheaper-than-Prius” new Insight from Honda, Toyota will launch a Hybrid version of the Auris hatchback in Europe next year.It will be using a 1.8 Liter engine. No word on what they will do for the US market, where they will also need another model to compete with… Continue reading Toyota Auris Hybrid

More pictures of Hyundai’s Tucson concept
That’s pretty much what it is. Whatever they want to call it.it also looks very production ready. Except for some trims and details.If this is close to what the production model will look like, they will have quite a hit on their hands.It looks much better than most of the small crossover/SUV competition.

2010 Mazda CX-9
I guess this is just a new front end. So now, all the Mazdas have a similar look. At least up front.Nothing that was needed really. Unless they are so afraid people don’t recognize their cars… More meaningless changes….

2011 Camaro Convertible in the street
Caught in Australia. A good looking car as a coupe. And a good looking convertible too.I really can’t wait to see these.

Yes it is….
I am driving the new Nissan Maxima this week. So if you have any questions, go ahead. So far… OK.Not as good as the Infiniti G37. And the Maxima, with similar equipment, is just about $2000 less…
