2012/13 Infiniti compact models
Infiniti has already announced a 2013 new EV model based on the Leaf.The bottom pic is an official sketch of it. But they recently also mentioned the possibility of competing in the luxury compact segment against cars like the Audi A1, BM1 series and the new Lexus CT200h.That means a hatchback. I think it is… Continue reading 2012/13 Infiniti compact models

2012 Saab 9-5 Sportwagon
Back from the dead with the 1st official picture. I like the sedan, but I think the wagon is even better looking, and even more of a Saab. But, so far, the sedan hasn’t been getting stellar reviews. Most people are saying it is fine, but not worth $50 000. And this wagon would be… Continue reading 2012 Saab 9-5 Sportwagon

Mitsubishi Concept Global Small.
What a name, really… First they teased us with a bad illustration, (bottom pic) then this rather boring concept.It doesn’t look like the “sure to be toned down” production version will be that exiting. And I hear Mitsubishi has very high hope for this model.By the time it comes out, the market will be full… Continue reading Mitsubishi Concept Global Small.

Tesla Model S. Alpha. Video
Model S Alpha Hits the Road from Tesla Motors on Vimeo. Quite an amazing looking car on the road. This looks better than most cars costing the same, or more.

Tesla Model S. Alpha
I guess the Alpha is a “closer to production’ model. You can compare it to the Concept they showed us last year (White car at the bottom).The design has changed a bit, but not that much. It actually looks a little sportier, I think.

Mazda Minagi Concept = 2012 Mazda CX-5
For now a concept. But they’ve been testing the production model for a while already.So we know this will become the CX-5 by next year.And maybe the first production Mazda to use the new front end design.

2012 BMW 6 Series
The all new 6 series was just caught in the street, naked… When compared to the current model (bottom), I’m not sure the new one looks that much better.I always liked the 6 series, and I think the next one actually looks more conservative, and not as sporty.And the trunk just seems too long. Maybe… Continue reading 2012 BMW 6 Series

Larger than C-Max Ford minivan coming up?
Ford has been offering the Galaxy Minivan since 1995 in Europe.The current version came out in 2006. And was never sold in the US. But it might be a different story for the next generation. As you can see, Ford has been using most of the Grand C-Mac (Just C-Max in the US) body as… Continue reading Larger than C-Max Ford minivan coming up?

How about a few more pictures of the new Mercedes SLK?
It a nice looking car, after all. But I still think the current BMW Z4 is one of the best convertible design ever.Modern, yet a bit retro. And it looks like one person designed it. The new SLK does look like a bunch of people were involved, and they didn’t talk to each other that… Continue reading How about a few more pictures of the new Mercedes SLK?

Suzuki Kizashi test drive.
-OUTSIDE.The Suzuki Kizashi is quite a good looking sedan. With a good presence on the road. Especially the Sport SLS model I was driving. Is is quite sporty and aggressive looking. But its not overdone. I nice balance. And it also does look more upscale than the sub $20 000 base price might suggest. -INSIDE.The… Continue reading Suzuki Kizashi test drive.

More pictures of the 2012 Hyundai Accent
A pretty decent car for the price. For those who compare the Accent with the Fiesta:-The Fiesta starts at sedan starts at $13 300. While the cheapest hatchback is $15 100 -The current 2011 Accent starts at about the same price, but the 3 door hatch is priced at under $10 000. Not sure if… Continue reading More pictures of the 2012 Hyundai Accent

Ford Vertrek concept. Video
The Vertrek (assuming they keep the name for the production car) will, next year, replace both the ancient Escape and the European Kuga.As you can see, it does look like an updated Kuga. (Except for the lunatic and crazy concept interior design) Gone is the old, blocky and sad look of the current Escape. Europeans… Continue reading Ford Vertrek concept. Video

2012 Hyundai i30
The i30 is the hatchback equivalent to our Elantra, for the European market.Our 2010 Elantra wagon was actually the wagon version of the current i30. Which explains why it didn’t really look like the Elantra in the 1st place. Not sure if we’ll ever see the hatchback version pictured here. But it would compete nicely… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai i30

2012 Hyundai Accent
This is the Canadian model, but the US version should be pretty much the same.We will also be getting a sedan. The engine is the 1.6 Liter with 138hp. With the choice of a 6 speed manual or Auto.

2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible
Same changes as the 2011 sedan.Basically the old Sebring with new front and rear. New interior and V6. I think it does look fine. Much better than the outgoing Sebring, but that’s not saying much.
