  • 2011 Audi A7

    This is still just an illustration, but it looks really close to the real thing. The A7 will basically be a hatchback version of the all new, redesigned, A6. But, just like the BMW 5 Series GT, it will come out before the “regular” A6 sedan. And it will cost more. Still, it looks a… Continue reading 2011 Audi A7

  • Buick Excelle

    This is the Chinese version of the small Buick sedan. From the illustration GM released last year, it looks like the US will delete the spoiler (Thank God!), and ad a chrome line around the windows. Not sure about what engine it will use. But a high end with the 2.0L Turbo from the Regal… Continue reading Buick Excelle

  • New version of the Geely GE

    Remember the Geely GE from last year? That was the really bad and cheap looking Rolls Royce copy we were all laughing at. (The car pictured in the lower photos) After Rolls Royce threatened to sue, Geely actually backed down and redesigned the car for the upcoming Auto Show. A pretty amazing move. I mean,… Continue reading New version of the Geely GE

  • 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

    Here it is. The real thing.  Besides the third brake light sitting stupidly on top of the trunk, I think it looks great. I can’t wait to see these on the road.

  • All new Porsche Cayenne: 15% Hybrids.

    Porsche thinks 15% of all its new Cayenne sold will be Hybrids. The al new Hybrid model matches a 3.6 Liter V6 with an electric motor for a total of 380hp. Will it be that popular? Or even more? What do you think?

  • BYD i6

    Th new i6 sedan will be BYD’s 6th new model on presented in the last 6 months. I remember, just a few years ago, when the Chinese auto show was full of crazy looking concept cars. And almost no new, modern looking, production models. Quite a change… This doesn’t look great, but at least it… Continue reading BYD i6

  • Fiat 500 in the US.

    This Fiat 500 was spotted around Cape Cod by a reader from New York. It looks like a European version of the small 500. With US manufacturer plates on top of the larger space where the European ones usually go. So it is not 100% what we’ll get here. (The US 500 is supposed to… Continue reading Fiat 500 in the US.

  • Lexus GX 460: “Do not buy”.

    That’s what Consumer Report is advising its readers. After testing the big Lexus SUV. “When pushed to its limits on a handling course on CR’s test track, the rear of the GX CR purchased slid out until the vehicle was almost sideways before the electronic stability control system was able to regain control” Well, duh.… Continue reading Lexus GX 460: “Do not buy”.

  • 2012 compact Buick Sedan

    It will be called the Buick Excelle in China, replacing an existing model there, based on an old Daewoo. The new one is the sedan version of the Opel Astra. And we are getting it soon after. These are the best pictures of it so far. The only difference between the Chinese and US version… Continue reading 2012 compact Buick Sedan

  • 2012 Toyota RAV4?

    Looks like Toyota is preparing a new front end for the aging RAV4. And it could turn out to be a big improvement.

  • Friday night at Bob’s

    One of the best way to spend some time on a Friday after work: Bob’s Big Boy on Toluka Lake. The food isn’t great, but the cars are. And Jay Leno was there tonight , driving a tiny ancient car that made his chin appear even larger than on TV…

  • New VW Touran

    The Touran is pretty much the VW equivalent to the Mazda5. A popular category in Europe where small yet roomy makes a lot of sense. It came out in 2003 and received some revisions in 2007. Yet, this “new” model isn’t all new. The doors and windshield are from the previous one, still. Even the… Continue reading New VW Touran
