  • Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

    The 556hp beast will soon be available in a wagon design. A pretty amazing car no doubt. But really, they can’t expect to sell many of these. I have seen only one of the regular CTS wagon on the road. This super powerful (And expensive) version will have even more limited appeal. I guess it’s… Continue reading Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

  • 2012 Buick Regal Wagon???

    This is actually an Opel Insignia wagon… But testing in Michigan! Which means GM is seriously considering a wagon version of the new Regal. Great news. With a new Acura TSX wagon coming, and the departure of the Volvo V70 from the US market, GM might just be on to something….

  • 2011 Mercedes R class

    For its 5th year in production, the R Class is not getting a new design. Just some revised elements, mostly up front. With new lights in the back. And a slightly revised interior. Good news about the interior. At least it doesn’t adopt the horrific looking blocky design from the GLK or new E Class.… Continue reading 2011 Mercedes R class

  • 2011 Hyundai Elantra

    I first thought it was a picture of the new Sonata. But no. It seems Hyundai is trying to bring some style into the compact sedan segment. What a great idea. In a world full of Corollas…

  • 2011 Opel astra Coupe

    We know a coupe version of the new Astra is around the corner, as well as a wagon. The previous version still looks great. I just saw one (As a Saturn) again a few days ago. This is an illustration of what the next one could look like. Opel is thinking of reviving the old… Continue reading 2011 Opel astra Coupe

  • Great Wall Hover M3

    This new Chinese compact will be offered in the 2 versions shown here. A higher crossover one, similar to the VW Cross Polo, as well as the regular lower model on top. It does look pretty decent to m. At least as good as many other compacts around. You could put a Japanese or Korean… Continue reading Great Wall Hover M3

  • 2010 Kia Forte test drive coming up…

    Very curious to see how it compares to other popular like the Civic and Focus. My model is the top of the line SX model with the larger 2.4 Liter engine, with auto. I will report on it soon, but if you have any questions about it, go ahead…

  • 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

    Looks like they designed a whole new front end for the Hybrid model. A very smart move. Most people who buy hybrids want something that stand out.  The Fusion hybrid is popular, but looks about 100% the same as other Fusions. The Sonata will use the 2.4 Liter engine with an electric motor. But no… Continue reading 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

  • 2011 Honda Odyssey

    Caught in California by a reader . Even with all the crappy camouflage on it, you can tell the production version will be very close to the really good looking concept. The current Odyssey, is a great minivan, but one of the most boring design out there. The next one will be quite another story.… Continue reading 2011 Honda Odyssey

  • 2011 Kia Sorento SX

    The sportier SX version of the new Sorento comes with a new front end, LED tail lights and special 18 inch wheels. I still think the previous model was a bit less generic than this new one. Although the car frame and even better quality more than make up for it. I will be test… Continue reading 2011 Kia Sorento SX

  • Steve McQueen’s Birthday

    Steve McQueen would have turned 80 today… To give us a little perspective, he was just born a couple of months before Clint Eastwood. Makes us think of all the movies he could have been in since his death in 1980, doesn’t it… Let’s remember him through some of the many cars he drove. On… Continue reading Steve McQueen’s Birthday

  • 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX

    And now for the hatchback. Also much more aggressive, but it does seem a bit less so than the sedan, somehow… Again, a new interior would be nice.

  • 2011 Kia Optima interior

    Just a sketch, but it does look good. And matches the pictures I posted a few days ago. This will be a good looking car with a good looking interior. Much more interesting than what the current Camry and Accord have to offer.

  • No Mini Cayenne from Porsche.

    Porsche abandoned the idea of a “smaller than Cayenne” SUV. They see what is happening with Audi, where the smaller Q5 is stealing sales from the Q7. All they are doing is protecting the Cayenne from an attractive little brother. The Cayenne is responsible for 50% of all Porsche profits. And they just cannot afford… Continue reading No Mini Cayenne from Porsche.

  • 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX

    The 2011 model is not all new. But it does get a much more aggressive styling. Is it too much? I think it’s quite OK for that kind of car. A seriously sporty model looks to match, finally.This is the current model. You can tell they share the same body. The whole thing was one… Continue reading 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX

  • Saab resumes production

    Something to celebrate, really. They were so close to death, it’s quite amazing. Here is the official word: “Today’s resumption of production is a milestone in the history of our company” said Jan Åke Jonsson. “We are up and running as an independent manufacturer and I am delighted to share the experience on the line… Continue reading Saab resumes production

  • New Chery Fulwin

    It’s really not bad. A bit better than “not bad for a Chinese car” even. This would compete nicely with the Nissan Versa. Unless it is smaller. (It has a 1.5 Liter engine) Would anyone here buy a ow end Chinese car like this one? Say, for under $8000?
