Chinese joke from the Shanghai auto show
The Geely GE is a joke of a car.Something we couldn’t make up in a movie. It would sound to weird…Such an obvious and vulgar looking copy.And it has only one giant seat in the back. Like a throne. The perfect car for the King of Zanzibar! The worst part is the emblem. Some people… Continue reading Chinese joke from the Shanghai auto show

Rich M1
Rich is the new “Luxury” brand of Chinese carmaker Chery. I guess in this case, “luxury” doesn’t mean big. Or fancy. Or expensive. Or classy. All you get for the price is a funky looking little car (that shouldn’t really be part of a luxury brand) plus a horrific and vulgar copy of the Bentley… Continue reading Rich M1

2010 Toyota Prius price
In a surprising move, Toyota has priced the all new Prius $1000 cheaper than the old one. For $21 000 you now get a roomier, more powerful car that gets even better gas mileage.And it is only about $1200 more than the smaller Honda Insight.

New 2010 Jaguar XJ Video
Just a small “teaser”. But it does seem pretty impressive, with more personality than anything from Germany or Japan.But that’s not really hard to do…

Roewe N1 Concept
This is pretty much a production car. It will be the new “smaller than 550” Roewe 350 when it comes out in a few months.Another nice design from Roewe.I could really see this in Europe and the US. If the quality and safety standards are good, these would definitely make decent cars for Saturn….

That’s all we get so far… It will be available with a V8 or a V6 diesel. So I guess we’ll only get the V8.They’ve also mentioned earlier that a hybrid version is coming up about a year later.

But a new front end and revised interior. I am not sure what is the point of this. The HS is a Lexus version… Continue reading A super Prius coming up???

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
It’s not really my kind of things, but it’s actually kind of cool that someone is still actually making something like that.Sort of a Harley of cars. A big trucky truck with a big old V8 in it….Actually 2 V8s. A 5.4 Liter with 320 hp and a 6.2 Liter with 400 hp are available.… Continue reading Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
