  • 2012 Lexus IS Wagon

    The next generation IS will again get a wagon version. I really liked the SportCross version of the previous generation. I guess Lexus does think “wagons are back”, sort of. Or at least, they might be in a couple of years. it would also help the IS in Europe where wagons have always been a… Continue reading 2012 Lexus IS Wagon

  • Super small Opel coming up

    This illustration shows what the smallest of Opels could look like. I guess there is a big demand for smaller and smaller cars in Europe. This would be smaller than the Corsa. And would be powered by a 1.0 Liter 3 cylinder engine.

  • 2013 BMW 3 series sedan

    Not sure if these are real or not. But they could be, sure. Why not. It does look like a 3 series, maybe even too close to the current one to be real, especially the profile. But again, BMW isn’t known to come up with brand new designs, so this actually makes sense. We’ll see…

  • 2012 VW Beetle

    Just an illustration of what it could look like when it appears a year from now. I always liked the Beetle, old and new, so I can’t wait for this one. I just hope they use something a bit more efficient than the current 2.5 Liter in the US model. It is a very smooth… Continue reading 2012 VW Beetle

  • Sub 1 series BMW coming.

    And they have officially said it will be front wheel drive. It will be priced above the Mini, and under the cheapest version of the 1 series. I am not sure what the purpose of this would be. The current mini already can be priced pretty high. Almost as high as a 1 series. Would… Continue reading Sub 1 series BMW coming.

  • Nissan Leaf price?

    There is a new rumor around claiming the all electric Leaf will start at about $38 500 in Japan. The Prius is priced pretty much the same as in the US over there, so it might give us a good idea of the actual price in the US. That doesn’t include a $7500 tax credit.… Continue reading Nissan Leaf price?

  • 2011 Scion xB

    The first mistake Toyota made was making the xB too big when it was redesigned a couple of years ago. Apparently, they had no clue why people were buying them. Now, they are making it uglier. Let’s not add more choices like a sunroof, or more than one interior color. No. Lets just make the… Continue reading 2011 Scion xB

  • Nissan Murano Diesel

    For Europe, of course. The Murano will now be offered with a diesel option. A 2.5 Liter with 190hp. It’s interesting to see that the transmission is a 6 speed auto. Not the CVT offered in the US. The new engine will allow the Murano to have a fighting chance on the European market. Remember… Continue reading Nissan Murano Diesel

  • Indian Ford Figo commercial

    Interesting to see cars from other countries. Fords we won’t be getting over here and how the commercials appeal to the local audience…

  • New Chery X5 SUV

    The previous Chery SUV was an obvious cheap copy of the BMW X5. This new one… Not so much. More like a copy of Godzilla. But just on the outside. Inside? A 2.0 Liter with 146hp…

  • The future is almost here.

    The Modec EV delivery truck is the child of the British firm Modec and Navistar. The futuristic, and all electric, truck will be assembled in Indiana later this year. A full charge lasts about 100 miles. I am just wondering if this is enough for real Fed Ex deliveries. 100 miles a day? At least,… Continue reading The future is almost here.

  • 2011 Kia Optima

    This is quite amazing when you compare it to the current model. It seems pretty hard to give a mid sized family sedan any personality, but Kia seems to have done it. This already looks to be one of the best looking cars in its class. The name “Kia” is still a major hurtle for… Continue reading 2011 Kia Optima

  • New BMW 5 Series Touring

    I have to say, this is one of the best looking wagons I have ever seen. BMW got it 100% right. Much better than the heavy and clunky looking hatchback version. Subtle yet very modern. Of course, they never say at first that we’ll get their wagons in the US. But it seems that they… Continue reading New BMW 5 Series Touring
