2011 Nissan Micra
Caught during the filming of a commercial in Australia. This is one of the sub $10 000 models we are getting from Nissan next year.They say there will be another one for the US. I just wonder if the Juke will be priced that low. Who knows….

Nissan Skyline 2.5 Liter GT coming to the US
And of course, it will be the Infiniti G25 here.The 2.5 Liter is good for 225hp in Japan.But the US is scheduled to get a Turbo version of that engine. Which could be up to 280hp. That is plenty.For a few years now I’ve been complaining about engines getting bigger and bigger in order to… Continue reading Nissan Skyline 2.5 Liter GT coming to the US

Chevrolet Cruze diesel test drive
I am planning a trip to Europe in a few weeks and I might have the opportunity to test drive the new Chevrolet Cruze.The version available to me is a diesel.Not 100% sure yet.I think it would be really interesting to drive the Cruze for a few days before it comes over here, even if… Continue reading Chevrolet Cruze diesel test drive

Nissan Juke
These are just illustrations, so far. But they do look pretty close to the teaser shot Nissan released recently. Nissan mentioned at the Detroit show that the Juke will go on sale in the US at the end of the year.I guess this will be a “cheaper and smaller” model than the Rogue. So maybe… Continue reading Nissan Juke

More pictures of the new 2012 Ford Focus
I still think the sedan is on the large side for a compact.And possibly as roomy as the current Fusion.Plus when this comes out, the Fusion will look really, really old and sales will drop. Sure, there is technically physical room for a sedan between this and the Taurus, but how about price?The Taurus starts… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2012 Ford Focus

Cadillac XTS Concept
The XTS will replace both the STS and DTS when it goes on sale in 2012.And not a minute too soon. I hardly see any STS around. Let alone a DTS anymore. But it will be AWD, not RWD. So purist might not take it seriously.And the concept looks more like a new DTS, or… Continue reading Cadillac XTS Concept

2011 Lincoln MKX
A real improvement here.I already liked the previous one, but this really seems even better.And classy. Except the “light gold” color on the interior trip. I find nothing classy about gold. Still, this looks like a great choice. Ford seems to be doing very little wrong lately… Now for the official word: -“Standard MyLincoln Touch… Continue reading 2011 Lincoln MKX

Chrysler Delta???
They have been showing a Lancia Delta with a new grille and Chrysler badges at the Detroit auto show.They’ve also been pretty quiet about it. The car doesn’t even really have name. Although it does say “Delta” on the dash. I’ve always liked the Delta, so I’d be happy to see it over here.It is… Continue reading Chrysler Delta???

A tough life ahead…
I did get a chance to see the Cruze in person, and sit inside.I was impressed by the car.But after seeing pictures of the all new 2012 Focus, I predict a tough life for the new Chevrolet sedan.By the time it comes out in the US later this year, the Cruze will almost be a… Continue reading A tough life ahead…

GMC Granite Concept
I guess GMC will be known as the “Blocky” company.Some people might like it. I think that blocky look works better in a Scion fighter like the Granite, than the new Terrain.We’ll see how much they change the production version, which will be based on the Chevrolet Orlando. Itself based on the Cruze.

Honda CR-Z
At least the back seat mystery is solved.There is none. At least in the US. Just some lame arrangement behind the 2 front seats.Just weird…A 2 seater will make insurance more expensive. You can tell they could fit 2 small folding seats back there. Here is the official word: “The two trim levels include the… Continue reading Honda CR-Z

2012 Ford Focus video
Both the hatch and the sedan look great.And the interior seems above anything else in the class.

Honda CRZ Official pictures
Of course, on this US model the glass roof is nowhere to be seen. And now, we find out more about “the numbers”The CVT averages 37MPG, while the 6 speed manual gets about 33MPG.Hardy any reason to get a Hybrid… It doesn’t seem as cool or exiting as I though it would be.A nice little… Continue reading Honda CRZ Official pictures

VW Concept Coupe
It does look very nice. If a bit conservative. But that’s VW for you… Seems like a small A5. Not sure if this is actually based on the Jetta or the Polo. Most people call it a Jetta coupe. So thii interior might give us an idea of what the next Jetta might look like.… Continue reading VW Concept Coupe

2012 Ford Focus
Here it is, the real thing. Finally. It’s pretty much everything everyone wished for in a Focus . And more.And the sedan version also looks really good. From these pictures, it looks like the old, and now rather dated looking, Fusion will have a hard time. I say dump the Fusion. I don’t think they… Continue reading 2012 Ford Focus

VW Jetta Coupe?
VW was supposed to show us their new Touareg at the Detroit auto show.Instead, they will unveil an all new coupe for the US and Europe. But from this sketch, it looks a lot like a Polo coupe to me. Just like the spy pics we’ve seen of the “New Jetta” are actually the new… Continue reading VW Jetta Coupe?
