Opel deal!
Fiat looses, Magna wins. -Magna owns 20%-Russian Sberbank owns 35%-Opel employees own 20%-GM still owns 35% That means GM could still have access to Opel cars for sales in the US. Not bad news.

New Accord hatchback???
This car was caught by someone from the vwvortex forum (Click on the title for the link and more pics). It doesn’t look at all like the test mule they were driving around. The car was hidden as a wagon with much larger wheels etc…This looks like a straight hatch version of the Accord sedan.Even… Continue reading New Accord hatchback???

More pictures of the Citroen DS3 Concept
Which is pretty much the same as the production car that will debut in September.Basically a fancier coupe version of the upcoming all new C3 compact. So not really a “new DS”. They just use the name to fool people into thinking the legendary DS is back. But hey… These would make great Saturns over… Continue reading More pictures of the Citroen DS3 Concept

All new 2010 Opel Astra videos
I sure wish we could get this in the US.It still might be a Saturn, if Magna gets it. And if they also get Opel.Otherwise, under the Magna deal, GM would still own a huge chunk of the German car maker. So they could still bring it over here as a small Buick. With a… Continue reading All new 2010 Opel Astra videos

Renault Twingo CC
Another picture of the small 2 seater convertible based off the tiny Renault Twingo.We probably will never see this here. Unless Renault actually ends up selling cars over here as Saturn.But that seems to expensive. I guess we might have to settle for the cheaper Samsung cars…

BMW X1 interior
Just a small shot.Some kind of a teaser. Being smaller than the X3, that thing should end up being pretty small, while still pricey.Remember when people thought the 1 series would be the “affordable BMW”? I don’t really see the point of this car. It seems that lately, BMW is coming out with plenty of… Continue reading BMW X1 interior

Honda to compete with Smart?
Honda is apparently working on a super mini car to compete with the Smart, but especially the Toyota iQ (Scion in the US).Not sure if it will be strictly 2 seater like the Smart or a small 4 seater like the Toyota. Who would have know, just a few years ago, that these major players… Continue reading Honda to compete with Smart?
