All new Toyota Vitz/Yaris
This is pretty much our new Yaris for next year.It is supposed to be getting the best gas mileage of any Toyota sold in the US (I guess even better than the Prius)Thanks, partially, to a new CVT and a Start/Stop system that cuts off the engine when the car isn’t moving. It is much… Continue reading All new Toyota Vitz/Yaris

2012 Hyundai Accent Hatchback
The next hatch version of the new Accent will be a 5 door.Currently only a 3 door is available. I kind of like the current car. A simple, practical and decent looking hatchback that starts at around $10 000.I think this next one looks a bit more.. Formal. Maybe it’s the pictures. Anyway, it’s always… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Accent Hatchback

2011 Chrysler 300 Interior
Just details, but it is already much better looking in dark, with darker wood, than the beige/light wood combo we saw a few days ago. And my favorite, the glass roof, is a new option. More pictures soon….

All new 2011 Nissan Sunny
Not really sure what the new Sunny is. With its 1.5 Liter engine, it could very well end up being the next Versa sedan in the US.But its interior is mainly from the new March/Micra. Which is smaller than the Versa/Tilda.So is it a Micra sedan? One thing is certain, it is ugly enough to… Continue reading All new 2011 Nissan Sunny

2012 US Ford C-Max
Europe has the 5 seater C-Max and the 7 seater Grand C-Max.Here, were are only getting the 7 seater version, but it will be called C-Max. (Which pretty much means we”re never getting the 5 seater) It looks the same as the one sold in Europe. Just like the new 2012 Focus. But instead of… Continue reading 2012 US Ford C-Max

Lexus CT200h US price
The all new Lexus Hybrid will start at $29 995, including destination. Which isn’t bad. After seeing it, I can say this is one of these cars that does look much better in the flesh.A “Premium” model will be $31 775. It includes Moonroof and Heated seats. Options are:-Premium Audio Package : $1125 (add $300… Continue reading Lexus CT200h US price

Mini paceman Concept
Another one of these concepts that looks production ready. Not sure what the market is for a “low 3 door SUV” is. But it does look pretty good. Kind of like a sporty version of the Countryman. We’ll see if it ever makes it into production soon…

2012 Alfa Romeo Giulia
Even thought this is still just a computer illustration, it does look really good.Alfa’s new sedan is supposed to come out next year and do battle with the Audi A4 and other premium Euro sedans.It is supposed to be coming over here as well. And the same platform could be used for the 2013 Chrysler… Continue reading 2012 Alfa Romeo Giulia

2012 Nissan Versa?
This is a teaser picture of the new Nissan Sunny.The name Sunny will not be used in the US where the car will be known as the new Versa. It does match the various spy pics we’ve seen so far.And really, they can only improve on the current design. No matter what they do…

2011 Ford Territory
The Territory is an Australian Ford model. Not sold in the US, so don’t get too exited.The current model is based on the RWD Falcon platform, not the Explorer.I am not sure if this is a revised version of the current one, or an all new model. Maybe a new design on the same platform,… Continue reading 2011 Ford Territory

Kia Sorento test Drive
-THE LOOKS. I think the new Sorento looks fine. But a bit more generic than the previous version was when it came out.Sure, next to a toyota Highlander, it looks fantastic. I guess they just went a little bit conservative on this one.Especially when compared to the really good looking new Sportage. -INSIDE. The interior… Continue reading Kia Sorento test Drive

All new Lancia Ypsilon
Finally, an all new Ypsilon will go on sale in Europe next June.The big news will be the availability, for the 1st time, of a 5 door version.Which should make the car much more popular. Lancia and Chrysler are supposed to share models.A year ago, Chrysler showed a great looking rebadged Lancia Delta with a… Continue reading All new Lancia Ypsilon

2011 Chrysler 300 interior
Maybe it’s just me, but I really don’t think this is the best looking interior color.A first impression is very important. The 90’s beige tone with way too much wood everywhere isn’t the most modern or classiest look in 2010. More very soon…

2012 Honda Civic Concept
Yeah right… From what we’ve all seen before (actual spy pics), this overly optimistic illustration looks a million times better than the real 2012 Civic coupe.The usual. The “concept” will be shown in a few weeks at the Detroit Auto Show.With a production model being introduced a short time later.They did the same thing with… Continue reading 2012 Honda Civic Concept

2012 Mazda MX-5/Miata illustration
This is the 1st illustration of the next Miata I see using the design language from the new Shinari concept.So it might be closer to the real thing than we think.Mazda has said the Shinari will be their new design language from now on. I saw the Shinari concept in person and it does look… Continue reading 2012 Mazda MX-5/Miata illustration

2011 Jeep Compass
The “late” arrival of 2011 Chrysler models continues. Like most of these “new” models, the compass is the same car as last year, except for the front and rear, and a new interior. (Which it shares with the 2011 Patriot)And like most 2011 revised Chrysler models, the big news are up front. That’s why they… Continue reading 2011 Jeep Compass
