2011 Opel Corsa
The little Corsa gets revised for the new year.Just a few changes to keep it fresh, and a bit more aggressive.I think it does work.No matter what, the Corsa is one of the nicest looking small car in Europe.In the “old Saturn” days, just a couple of years ago, Bob Lutz had mentioned that the… Continue reading 2011 Opel Corsa

2012 Hyundai Azera
The all new Azera seems to already have much more style than the rather boring Genesis sedan. And quite a serious competition to established cars like the Buick Lacrosse, Nissan Maxima and Ford Taurus. We will see much more really soon, so stay tuned…

2011 Chrysler 300 interior
This actually looks really good to me. The new 300 could turn out to be a great alternative to the Taurus, Maxima and LaCrosse.If priced right. We’ll see really soon how the whole thing turns out…

More pictures of the all new Toyota Ractis
The Ractis is a small hatchback based on what we know here as the Yaris.The 2nd generation, pictured here, will be sold in Europe as well as the Verso-S. It looks to me very similar to the Honda Fit.And the Fit being pretty popular here, it seems there would be a market for a Toyota… Continue reading More pictures of the all new Toyota Ractis

New Alfa Romeo Giulia
Fiat has pretty big plans for Alfa Romeo in the US.The all new Giulia sedan and wagon will be competing with models like the Audi A4, Acura TSX in the US. This is still just an illustration, but it is easy to guess that an Italian designed mid sized sport sedan could easily look better… Continue reading New Alfa Romeo Giulia

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

Subaru Impreza Concept video
The Subaru concept is a very nice car. But this video makes it look like it is the second coming. It is not… It is a car Subaru should have in showrooms right now, minus the small obvious show car bits.Let’s hope a production version is comes out soon. Very soon. Right now the Impreza… Continue reading Subaru Impreza Concept video

Oprah gives away 275 2012 VW Beetles
She couldn’t show the actual car, only display the silhouette and give out keys to audience members. She also mentioned the car will be unveiled in May. That’s a long time. Engines for the US should be the usual 2.5 Liter with 170hp, both the 2.0 Turbo and TDI will be options for the US… Continue reading Oprah gives away 275 2012 VW Beetles

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.

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?

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.
