New Opel Meriva
Quite an interesting little car.A super mini with minivan doors, a glass roof… Engines will include a 1.4 Liter and 1.6 Liter. It could have been a nice small Saturn. But this is way too small for a Buick (which now seems to be the US Opel)

2012 Ford Focus
Just an illustration. But probably close to what it’ll end up looking like.Pretty much a big Fiesta.Which is fine.I have seen a couple of Fiestas around Hollywood, and they look amazing.Especially next to most of the boring looking competition offered in the US. This new Focus will become the Cruze’s nightmare when it comes out.… Continue reading 2012 Ford Focus

Plus, even thought it isn’t as original as… Continue reading 2011 Nissan Micra
