BMW X1 teasers
Which show again that the production model will look just like the “fake” concept we saw a few months ago.Not sure about this idea. It could end up being really small. And still expensive….

2010 Volvo C70
Already caught in Europe during a photo shoot. Looks like a new front and rear to better match the new XC60 and the upcoming S60.For once, this “facelift” seems to work really well. The new parts and the “old” ones seem to work together.

Saturn sold?
Apparently, GM would announce as soon as later today that it sold the Saturn brand to Roger Penske. The cars would be the ones Saturn offers now, for a while. But would eventually be replaced by Samsung models from Korea.From what I’ve seen so far, Samsung offers nothing that seem as good as the current… Continue reading Saturn sold?

2010 Nissan Qazana?
This looks to be the production version of the small Qazana concept crossover from the past Geneva Auto Show.It is said to be mostly designed for the European market.But who knows, this might end up here as a little brother to the Rogue…

Future Jaguar XC?
A smaller than XK roadster to compete with the Boxter, SLC and even Nissan Z Convertible. Auto Express is mentioning a 3.0 Liter V6 with “only” 235hp as the base engine.Not that 235hp isn’t enough in a small car. but Nissan offers 330 in the Z.I think Jaguar could do better. Sounds like they will… Continue reading Future Jaguar XC?

2010 Hyundai Accent

Audi A5 Sportback
Another weird Idea…A 5 door version of the A5 coupe.Why not make a hatch version of the “already 4 door” A4??? This seems to be so much more work to end up with pretty much the same thing. Except they can charge much more than the A4 for it. Where does that put the A6… Continue reading Audi A5 Sportback

2010 Jaguar XJ Illustration
From “Car”. It does look much better than what we saw a few weeks ago, when someone else tried to guess the car from the official teaser.I still think the black rear pillar looks a bit weird. We will see the real thing next month…

So there… It was just a matter of time for the Chinese to either sell their cars here, or buy one of our brands.Even though for the time being Hummers… Continue reading Hummer goes Chinese

Peugeot 5008
The all new Peugeot 5008 is based on the current Citroen C4 Picasso.I first thought it was just a Picasso with a Peugeot front end, but it is more than that.It does have its own design and doesn’t have the crazy futuristic interior of the Citroen version.Here is the Citroen.

GM’s Chapter 11 commercial
Seems like a weird idea.Also seems like they were preparing this for a while. Making this commercial and all. Meet the new GM: Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac.

Bankrupt!
It is now official.GM is filing for chapter 11 today.Basically they are worth$82 billions, but owe $172 billions. They owe about $50 billions to the federal government.So there you go… Click on the title for an actual copy of the Bankrupty petition. Let’s hope after all this, GM will be a much stronger, leaner company.

2010 Audi A8
The A8 is one of these cars that just gets redesigned “once in a blue moon” (The current one came out in 2003) and the “new” one always looks pretty much the the same as the “old” one…
