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

More pictures of the Kia Forte hatchback
Still called Cerato in some markets, I guess. On top of a 5 door version, the Forte is supposed to gain a 6 speed auto as well as a Navigation option for the new year.Making life even harder for the 2012 Civic…

2012 Honda Civic interior
This looks like such a step backward from the current generation. I know the current interior has been criticised, but I happen to really like it. And the Euro version is even better.But this is just a blocky, uglier version of it. Of course, we’ll have to wait for the real thing to show up,… Continue reading 2012 Honda Civic interior

2011/12 Hyundai Accent hatchback
It is Happy Hour here in Hollywood, and I’m not really sure if this picture was posted before. In any case, this is the 5 door hatchback version of the upcoming Accent. And I guess we’ll see it in the US as well. Considering the competition from the Nissan March and new Toyota Yaris.

2012 Toyota Prius Alpha
First official teaser of the larger Prius.Rumored to have enough room for seven seats. If they use the same engine, carrying 7 people in a larger Prius might be quite a slow experience. We’ll see…

2011/12 VW Tiguan
Another one gets the new VW front end.This is the Chinese version and the Tiguan will adopt a similar face for Europe and the US next year. Not very popular in the US, where most other choices are cheaper, and more interesting looking.
-
2012 Honda Civic sedan
It does look a lot like the current one with a new front and rear.But it’s not.It’s actually a new design, but one of these “new designs” that look like the old one. If you see pictures of the interior on the site, you can tell it is new.But in a bad way. They have… Continue reading 2012 Honda Civic sedan

2012 Nissan Versa sedan
Looking much, much better than the current model.Nissan will have plenty of inexpensive models in the line up next year.With a new Micra/March, and a new Sentra is coming up as well.
-
Chrysler 200 teasers
Just a few details, focusing on what’s new from the Sebring.Basically, the 200 is a Sebring with redesigned front and rear ends. As far as the interior, I guess the big news is… “stitching”?I hope the rumors are true, and the car does get an all new interior.The new Chrysler V6 will also make it… Continue reading Chrysler 200 teasers

Another picture of the next Mercedes SLK
Looking very nice.I guess it won’t look as blocky as some of their recent designs.Interior is said to be inspired by the SLS. We’ll see…
-
New Mercedes SLK
Just a teaser.With a new technology called Magic Sky Control that darkens the overhead glass panel. SLK has always looked great. I can’t wait to see the new one.

2012 Buick Verano
The name of the upcoming small Buick sedan is now official. It is pretty much a US built version of the car sold in China as the Buick Excelle GT.Which itself is a sedan version of the Opel Astra. These are pictures of the Chinese version. Not sure what it will compete with in the… Continue reading 2012 Buick Verano

New Dodge Durango Interior
Looking really nice, I must say. What a giant leap from the old one.So it looks like Chrysler had decent stuff in the pipeline after all. Now if they could only get some cars people would actually want to buy.A big thirsty SUV and a 4 door muscle car aren’t really the most popular items… Continue reading New Dodge Durango Interior

2011 VW Eos
These pictures do look like the real thing.We’ll know for sure next month when it comes out for the L.A Auto show.Just the VW usual: obsessively changing the front ends of all their models. So now they all look the same. Which is actually not so bad. It works on the Eos.Interior should be the… Continue reading 2011 VW Eos

Nissan based Smart coming up. US only
How about this for a car related nightmare:The US distributor has decided to sign a deal with Nissan to sell a Nissan Micra based 5 door car as a Smart.“Nissan based” means a Nissan with a new front and rear. And that’s it.These flattened official sketches won’t fool anyone, the car is just a fancy… Continue reading Nissan based Smart coming up. US only
