  • Baojun 630

    Yet another Chinese brand. Of some interest, because GM is actually involved. The brand was created by GM and SAIC as a low cost alternative to other GM brands for the Chinese market.So this will be cheaper than the cheapest Chevrolet sold over there. Considering this, it actually doesn’t look too bad, for a super… Continue reading Baojun 630

  • New US Fiat commercial

    Maybe it’s just me, but I really think a car commercial should feature: the car.More than the type of people who might or might not buy it. Especially when the car looks that good.

  • New Toyota Etios

    The Etios is mainly for the Indian market.The hatchback version will get a 1.2 Liter with 80hp, while the sedan gets a larger 1.5 Liter with 100hp.Although these specs are pretty low for the US, they are in line with other cars in this class offered in India.This is the “concept” Toyota showed at the… Continue reading New Toyota Etios

  • Be my friend!

    It’s time for everyone to be my friend on Facebook. And tell your friends to be my friend. So we can all talk about what we love the most : cars.Who knows, we could even chat.

  • 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show notes

    -The Audi A7 is even more striking in real life.-The new VW Touareg has the most solid doors I’ve ever experienced.-The VW press conference for the “new” Eos was pathetic.-The new Volvo S60 has a great interior.-The 2011 Corolla is not better in person.-The new Charger interior is still pretty cheezy.-The Kia Optima’s interior might… Continue reading 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show notes

  • Jiangling’s SUV

    Yet another Chinese brand I have never heard of.Following a local tradition of copying everything else out there, this new SUV is a freakish amalgam of so many other designs. Jiangling is apparently China’s Ford partner. So engines are from Ford. That’s all we know so far. Can’t wait to not see it…

  • 2012 VW Coupe?

    This is what VW was showing the press a few days ago.Looking a lot like the new Jetta.But the shorter wheelbase and apparent hatchback design make it quite different, and smaller looking. It almost looks like it is actually based on the Polo. No idea what this is. If it will be marketed as a… Continue reading 2012 VW Coupe?

  • 2011 Chrysler 300

    We’ve already seen the whole thing uncovered a few days ago, cought during a photo shoot.But Chrysler chooses to ignore it, and just released these new teaser shots of the redesigned 300 sedan. It looks.. chromy. And a bit more art deco than before.And it will, finally, get a modern V6 engine. Although they will… Continue reading 2011 Chrysler 300

  • What could have been: a smaller Edsel sedan

    Back in the days, before the big flop, Ford was developing Edsel as a full brand.Here is one of the smaller models they were thinking of. This actually was retooled and eventually became the Mercury Comet.

  • $14 830 for the 2011 Hyundai Elantra

    This is for a base model.And still is much cheaper than all of the new competition like the Cruze, Focus and Jetta. All models come with a 148hp engine rated at 29/40 MPG. Almost as good as VW’s DTI. I can see this becoming one of the most popular cars in the US very soon.

  • 2012 Hyundai Azera

    These are the first official sketches from Hyundai.And actually look pretty realistic. Seems like for the first time, the big Hyundai could have a chance against the Lacrosse and Maxima.

  • Notes from the show: New Acura TSX grille

    They do listen. The new grille is much more upscale looking, and less disturbing.And it does fit the car much better now.A great move. I guess now they’ll spend the next 2 years changing grilles on other models…

  • 2011 Chrysler 200

    This still looks pretty bad.But there isn’t much they could have done considering what they started with. This will do as a rental car until the “real” all new Chrysler 200 comes out in a couple of years. On a related note, I could finally see for myself some of the new Chrysler interiors today.And,… Continue reading 2011 Chrysler 200

  • 2012 BMW 6 series convertible

    Looking really nice, better than the coupe, and really expensive. But I guess that’s the point of a big BMW convertible with a V8…
