  • Great 2010 Opel Meriva Video

    Quite an amazing piece of modern technology. I am talking about the video. Even though I really like the car a lot. I think it could really make a nice little modern Buick. It is quite upscale and would be well worth a premium over cars like the Scion xB

  • Mitsubishi RVR for Europe

    It looks pretty much exactly the same as the Japanese version, really. The side turn signals are now on the mirrors. And there is just more black plastic, almost everywhere. Grille, bumper, side skirts and pseudo roof rails. It is getting a new 1.8 Liter with a 6 speed manual. In Europe. Not sure what… Continue reading Mitsubishi RVR for Europe

  • BurlappCars on the phone?

    Just curious. I was wondering if many people check this site on their phone? Or their iPod touch? Or anything else that isn’t a “proper computer”. (we’ll include the “Apple tablet” next year…) Are you reading this on your cell phone?

  • 2010 Ford S-Max and Galaxy

    The S-Max and its larger cousing have been upgraded for the 2010 model year. As usual, this will not be seen over here. (Although I remember some rumors last year…) They still look much better than almost any other minivan out there. Especially the smaller S-Max. Much nicer than the upcoming C-Max. (The one we… Continue reading 2010 Ford S-Max and Galaxy

  • Really???

    I woke up to this on my windshield a couple of days ago. Test driving the CX-7 for a week, and press fleet cars never have front plates. I guess the city need money…

  • New Smart lease

    Now you can lease  Smart in the US. Kind of desperate measures for a brand that has sold about 40% less cars last year. Would you consider one?  $169 seems like an OK deal. But even with air and power windows, the “pure coupe” model is a pretty basic car.

  • 2013 Ford Focus wagon?

    I guess it’s a no brainer. A wagon version of the Focus has always been available in Europe. We might even get the next one over here…

  • New Peugeot 408

    This is so far, for the Chinese market only. Basically, a more upscale sedan version of the 308 hatchback sold in Europe. I was just wondering if the wheelbase was longer. The back seat looks roomier than a TownCar!

  • 2010 Opel Meriva Interior

    That interior looks great. If only GM could find a way to bring this over here as a Chevrolet, or even a Buick…

  • Revised Ford Mondeo

    A revised Ford Mondeo will go on sale very soon in Europe. Just making sure the big Euro Ford doesn’t look too old when the old new Focus comes out. It still looks much better than our Fusion. US Fusion and Euro Mondeo will melt into the same car for the next generation. Due about… Continue reading Revised Ford Mondeo

  • 2011 BMW 3 series coupe

    Or “another pointless mud-cycle refresh from BMW”… The 3 series is a great looking car that needs nothing. At least they didn’t ruin it, somehow, the slight changes also look great. This is last year’s model. Hardly a difference…

  • 2011 Kia Sportage

    New all new Sportage will be a much better looking car than the current one, that’s for sure. Seems that with this and the new Tucson, Hyundai/Kia will have very strong offerings in the segement.

  • Audi A1 teaser

    Not much to see here besides the headlights. And a silhouette at the end. More soon.
