4 cylinder Infiniti coming up
Nissan and mercedes Benz just announced a partnership a couple of days ago, and now we already hear a future Infiniti model will be using Mercedes 4 cylinder engines. That was quick… It would seem that a smaller model than the current G series would be getting these engines. The G is soon to be… Continue reading 4 cylinder Infiniti coming up

A designer’s take on the future Saab 9-2
Designer Ed Grey has been releasing a bunch of 3d illustrations lately about his own ideas of what some upcoming cars could look like. My favorite is his take on the new Saab 9-2. People who have seen the real thing claim the car is a retro futuristic version of the old Saab92. Which, I… Continue reading A designer’s take on the future Saab 9-2

2011 Opel Zafira
The Zafira is basically what the Mazda5 is to the Mazda3. But it is related to the Opel Astra. The Astra was all new last year, so of course, an all new Zafira is coming out shortly. Not sure if GM will be selling this as a Buick in the US or not. Chevrolet is… Continue reading 2011 Opel Zafira

New Fiat Uno
The Uno hasn’t been sold in Europe for over a decade. But it is still popular in South America. So a new one is getting ready to come out in Brazil. I just can’t help wondering if a version of this might end up in the US through Jeep or Dodge. Just think about it:… Continue reading New Fiat Uno

2013 VW Golf illustration
Let’s hope the 7th generation of the Golf does NOT look like that. The current one, as well as the previous model, looks much better than this soft and diluted version of the design.

Buick lacrosse Turbo
Buick will replace the 3.0 Liter V6 in the LaCrosse with the 2.0 Liter Turbo from the Regal. In China only… Here the base 3.0 was replace by the 2.4 Liter. In China, they still have the 2.4 as a base engine but can get the 2.0 Liter Turbo with 220hp as an option. Quite… Continue reading Buick lacrosse Turbo

2011 Audi A3
For 2011 the A3 will get really minor changes that should be filed under “why even bother”. What it needs is an all new design. And it’s coming. But I guess not right away. The 2011 model is the blue car on top. Hard to see the difference isn’t it…

2011 Chevrolet Camaro rumors
Looks like the Camaro will be getting a few tweaks for the new model year. Mostly to keep up with the competition from the 2011 Mustang. The only thing the Camaro actually could use is true iPod connectivity, and a Navigation option. Which it is not getting. Here are some news from a letter rumored… Continue reading 2011 Chevrolet Camaro rumors

2011 Mini Cooper coupe
As you can see from this patent drawing, the production version of the upcoming Mini Coupe (as well as the 2 seater roadster) will stay very close to the concept we saw last year. Not sure exactly why they would offer a 2 seater coupe, still… And I guess the roadster would compete with the… Continue reading 2011 Mini Cooper coupe

2011 Audi TT
Such small changes, it is hardly worth it. At least they didn’t ruin it. -More torque for the 2.0 Liter turbo -LED daytime running lights -Slightly revised front and rear -New colors -New interior color combinations

Buick Excelle Turbo 2.0
The Chinese Buick version of the Opel Astra is already available with a 1.6 Liter Turbo with over 180hp. The car we are getting over here next year is this upcoming sedan version. And they have been testing this 2.0 Turbo version for the more upscale 4 door. The same engine makes 220hp in the… Continue reading Buick Excelle Turbo 2.0

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Coupe
Not sure if this is the real thing or not. But it does seem pretty good. I am pretty sure GM is working on other versions of the Cruze. Like a coupe or hatchback. The Kia Forte is already available as a sedan and a coupe. And a hatchback is coming soon. The next Focus… Continue reading 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Coupe

2013 Mercedes S Class
Let’s just hope it doesn’t look as horrific as this illustration. I think the current S class still looks great. The next model is scheduled to be available as a hybrid only in the US. I guess that’s what we get for not buying diesels… And it seems that most US mercedes dealers hate the… Continue reading 2013 Mercedes S Class

R.I.P: Bentley Azure
The amazingly expensive Azure convertible is being discontinued. Bentley is shifting their productions to the all new Mulsanne sedan. The Azure was based on the “old” Arnage sedan. So is the Brookland coupe. There are now rumors of its replacement being a 4 door convertible based on the Muslanne. Which could be pretty spectacular… I… Continue reading R.I.P: Bentley Azure

More Insignia Wagon in the US
Just another picture of an Opel Insignia wagon testing in the US. That can only mean one thing: a Buick Regal wagon is in the works. And it is coming sooner than later. This will go head to head against Acura’s new TSX wagon.

2012 Cadillac ATS
I think these look great. And the sedan on top matches the prototype spy shot I posted a while ago. So it might actually look pretty close to the real thing. The all new ATS will replace the Saab based BLS in Europe. And will be the 1st “smaller than CTS” Cadillac model in the… Continue reading 2012 Cadillac ATS

2011 Scion Tc: What could have been…
At least on pictures, the “all new” Tc is a big disappointment. The 2006 Fuse Concept (That’s right, 4 years ago!), looked so much more original. You would think that in 4 years they could have come up with a slightly toned down production version of it. Instead, 4 years later, we get a slightly… Continue reading 2011 Scion Tc: What could have been…

“Chubby Nerd” tells us all about the new Infiniti QX56
He’s back, and not so chubby anymore. Actually, a cool and lucky guy…. Quite the opposite of this ugly Infiniti Truck. There is nothing cool about it. And I really think if won’t be that lucky in the market place…
