All new Kia Picanto preview.
The Picanto has been around since 2004 as the smallest Kia model.Although it has never been offered in the US.And I don’t think this one will either. But somehow, I can’t help wishing I was there… This “sculpture” of the next model is from theBologna auto show.I guess they are still not ready to reveal… Continue reading All new Kia Picanto preview.

2012 Hyundai Azera video
I guess this is as much as we can see of a car before it actually comes out.Caught on the road somewhere in Korea. A much more impressive looking car than the current generation. I think the LaCrosse and Maxima could have something to worry about…

2014 Porsche Cajun
The “smaller-than-Cayenne” Porsche SUV was approved by the company.So we will see it for 2014. I guess it will be another hit for the brand.First the Cayenne, hated by the purist, became a best seller. Then the Panamera, again, hated by the faithful, is now the best selling Porsche. There is no reason to stop… Continue reading 2014 Porsche Cajun

2012 Hyundai Veloster
Although there are still just illustrations, they give us a pretty good idea of the final production model.We will only have to wait a few weeks to see pictures of the real thing anyway now… This car seems really promising to me.And maybe what the new Honda CR-Z could, or should have been.It will be… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Veloster

2012 Roewe 750
The Roewe 750 and its cousin the MG5 will be redesigned for the next year.This seems to be yet another good looking design from the Chinese brand. This is the current version of the Roewe 750., which came out in 2006.It is basically a Chinese made version of the old Rover 75. And this is… Continue reading 2012 Roewe 750

More pictures of the new Audi A6
Looking at these, it’s even more difficult to tell if it is the new one or not.Predictably, it does look like a cross between the previous A6 and the current A4. Why don’t they even try to give it its own personality?At least a little bit…..

All new Audi A6
The current A 6 is still a really nice looking car, but pretty invisible.The new one will be a very nice looking car that will still be invisible. The interior seems to be very similar to the A7. No surprises here. But the exterior doesn’t seem to have much of the striking presence of the… Continue reading All new Audi A6

All new Honda brio
Honda is still calling it a “concept”.But it is pretty much the production version of the concept they showed earlier this year at the New Dheli auto show.The car will be competing with their super compacts like the Nissan March.Since we are getting the small Nissan in the US soon, I just wonder if the… Continue reading All new Honda brio

New Buick GL8 pictures
These new pictures do show quite a nice looking minivan.One that seems more than a match for the Town and Country, but also pretty much all the new competition from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Maybe it’s time fro GM to grab a slice of that minivan market. For now, this is still a China only… Continue reading New Buick GL8 pictures

All new Saab 9-5 SportCombi
With all the fuss about the whole brand almost dying, we almost forgot about the wagon version of the 9-5. This could still be an illustration, but it seems pretty real to me.And looking great. Even more like a Saab than the sedan. I guess Saab is concentrating on the 9-4X launch, and put this… Continue reading All new Saab 9-5 SportCombi

2012 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback.
GM is out testing the new Hatchback version of the Chevrolet Cruze. And, of course, it does look very similar to the so called “concept” they showed at the Paris Auto Show just a little while ago. So far, GM claims the hatchback version is only for Europe and Australia.They might change their tune once… Continue reading 2012 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback.

2012 BMW 1 series Coupe and Convertible
Next year, Europe will be getting an all new 1 series. As 3 and 5 door hatchbacks. But the coupe and convertible models, which came out a while after the current hatch versions, will stick around.So they are getting very mild revisions for the new year, while the hatchbacks will be all new. I wish… Continue reading 2012 BMW 1 series Coupe and Convertible

Nissan Maxima test drive
-THE LOOK. After almost 3 years on the market, the current Maxima is still a very good looking car.Unlike the previous generation, it doesn’t look like a big Altima anymore. But a big problem remains, as the Maxima is the same size as the current Altima.The Maxima is smaller than its competition like the Lacrosse… Continue reading Nissan Maxima test drive

Landwind CV9 Euro NCAP Crash Test
This small Chinese minivan gets only 2 stars.A better score than what they used to get a couple of years ago.But still. Much worse than the average car tested. They have started selling the CV9 Minivan a few months ago in the Netherlands. Where it costs almost half the price of an Opel Zafira. This… Continue reading Landwind CV9 Euro NCAP Crash Test
