2011 Dodge Journey
I must say, Chrysler wasn’t lying when they promised us better interiors.The revised Journey only seems to be getting a new grille outside.But the interior seems to be a giant improvement on what they have now.And of course, the new 3.6 V6 is offered.Here is the current model.You can see how bad the interior looks… Continue reading 2011 Dodge Journey

Saab 9-4X
Finally.It’s good to see an all new Saab after what almost happened a few months ago. And the production model looks almost exactly like the concept I saw at the Detroit auto show a few years ago. A good thing. It will be available with the same engines as its cousin, the Cadillac SRX. A… Continue reading Saab 9-4X

2012 Euro Civic
This illustration doesn’t really seem to match the spy photos exactly, but it is close.And again, it looks like the Euro version of the Civic will be about a million times better looking than the ultra conservative sedan we’ll be getting over here next year. Maybe Honda will realize, like Ford, that hatchbacks are getting… Continue reading 2012 Euro Civic

Lexus RX 270?
Seems like Lexus will be offering a 4 cylinder version of the RX as a new base model.But not in the US. Unless gas suddenly shoots up past $5 a gallon. On another note, I just wonder what happened to the rumors of a small Lexus compact SUV .That rumor was pretty popular 2 or… Continue reading Lexus RX 270?

2012 Lexus GS
Sorry, just a very blurry image/illustration so far. The new GS might be the first of the current Lexus models to be redesigned as a pure Hybrid lineup.A shorter version of the new platform will be used for the next IS.

2012 BMW 3 series
Obviously just an illustration, by some talented BMW fan.But it does look really good. A nice update on the current car. We’ll see very soon what the real thing looks like…

2012 Honda Fit “extended”?
Looks like Honda is at least considering a larger version of the Fit. If this is true, it looks pretty bad. I guess Toyota is doing it to the Prius with the Alpha version, so why not, right? The Fit is a really roomy small car, I’m not sure what would be the point of… Continue reading 2012 Honda Fit “extended”?
-
2012 Kia Rio
At least from these pictures, it looks quite conservative.But I guess most small, cheap sedans do. The hatch version could be more interesting. And the interior does look rather cheap, but remember, we are talking about a car that currently starts at under $12 000. But there is still quite a bit of camouflage, so… Continue reading 2012 Kia Rio

MG6 Sedan
The MG 6 has been a hatchback only model.And it does look great. But a sedan version os coming out soon, and it also looks pretty good.We’ll probably never see it, or the hatchback, in the US.But MGs have been getting decent reviews in Europe already.Just a picture of the current hatchback model.

Chevrolet Cruze Turbo
There is already a turbo engine available on the Cruze, the small 1.4 Liter.But this sportier “Turbo” model uses a larger 1.6 Liter with 170 hp instead of 140. And so far, it is for China only. Where the 1.6 Liter Turbo is already used in the Buick Excelle. I say bring over the good… Continue reading Chevrolet Cruze Turbo

2011 Mazda BT50
And now for the new Ranger’s cousin, the Mazda version. The front end looks weird compared to the rather conservative looking body from the Ranger.It just doesn’t seem to fit the rest of the car. Like if they were trying too hard to look modern. Like an old design with a new front end redesigned… Continue reading 2011 Mazda BT50

2011 Ford Ranger
Finally, after what seems to be about 65 years, there is an all new and modern Ford Ranger.But.. It’s not for the US… I guess Ford, and others, think the compact pick up truck market is pretty much dead in the water. No idea why. You would think with higher gas prices people would go… Continue reading 2011 Ford Ranger

2012 Toyota Yaris/Vitz
Just a couple of teasers from Toyota, picturing the Japanese version. More very soon…
-
2012 BMW 6 series convertible
This is the real thing.Looking exactly (surprise!) like the rather conservative 6 series coupe concept we saw just a few weeks ago. It actually looks a bit more boring than the current car. Which is not a good thing.
-
New Mercedes SLK
Looks like it’s coming out soon.Prototypes have less and less camouflage. It also looks pretty good, especially considering the horrible stuff we’ve seen from Mercedes lately. More if you click on the title.

Nissan Versa 1.8 SL Review
-HOW IT LOOKS.I test drove a base model Versa last year, and wasn’t very complementary about its design.Nothing has changed since…I still consider the Versa sedan to be one of the ugliest car available in the US.It still reminds me of some generic eastern European design from the 80’s. It is too tall, too narrow… Continue reading Nissan Versa 1.8 SL Review

2012 Toyota Prius Alpha
Just an illustration, but it looks pretty good.Really close to the official teaser from a few days ago. I still think the powertrain would really struggle with 7 people on board. Even if you just don’t expect it to be fast “because it’s a hybrid”.It still needs to get on freeway onramps at a decent… Continue reading 2012 Toyota Prius Alpha

More pictures of the Chrysler 200
They still won’t show us most of the car. Only the new parts.And the changes do look good, at least on the pictures. A black car with a bit of chrome and great lighting. But most of the car is still the old Sebring sedan. Seems that they tried to use many design elements from… Continue reading More pictures of the Chrysler 200
