  • 2012 US Passat Video

    I think it does achieve what many are looking for.An affordable sedan that looks more upscale than its price. On this video, at least, it does seem more like an Audi. And it does look expensive. I think there will be quite a large market for the car.Not everyone wants something as modern looking as… Continue reading 2012 US Passat Video

  • Suzuki Kizashi questions?

    I get to keep the Suzuki sedan for a few more days. So a review will be coming later. But meanwhile, I will answer any questions you might have about this pretty rare car.By rare, I mean they only sold 583 units last october. But, they recently came out with a few interesting commercials for… Continue reading Suzuki Kizashi questions?

  • 2012 Ford Focus Electric

    With a range of around 100 miles, it will be the first direct competition to the Nissan Leaf. But unlike the Leaf, it will look like many, many other cars on the road.Most people won’t even notice the 70’s style chrome grille up front. The Leaf makes a strong “green statement”, like the Prius before… Continue reading 2012 Ford Focus Electric

  • 2012 Mercedes C Class Coupe

    Kind of weird to have a coupe version of a 4 year old design.But the new coupe does look pretty good.Plus, it inherits the “new for 2011” interior. So I guess, it it mostly new. More on this very soon.

  • More on the 2012 Buick Verano

    The engine for the US will be the 2.4 Liter engine with 177hp. Which seems to be powering everything else GM makes these days.Including the Regal, and even the base Lacrosse.Here are pictures of the European Opel Astra. Where you can clearly see the similarities. Doors are pretty much the same, as is most of… Continue reading More on the 2012 Buick Verano

  • 2012 Buick Verano

    This is the real thing. Not the Chinese version, but the one that we will be getting in the US. It is basically a sedan version of the European Opel Astra. It is NOT a re badged Chevy Cruze. It seems OK, except for all that wood!the Chinese version doesn’t have it. And the Opel… Continue reading 2012 Buick Verano

  • New VW mid sized sedan???

    This is actually the Chinese version of VW’s new sedan.How much of it is similar to the US version is anyone’s guess for now. Let’s hope ours has a bit more personality. The one pictured here is pretty bad. Especially considering the new competition. We’ll see next week….

  • New VW coming really soon.

    It’s finally, almost, here. The all new VW mid sized sedan that will replace the Passat in the US.Rumored to be cheaper, roomier, and built here. Pretty amazing how they have managed to keep the actual name of the car a secret for that long..

  • Tesla Model S Interior

    Tesla announced that its upcoming $57 000 Model S sedan will be using a giant 17 inch display. As well as a 12.3 inch instrument cluster LCD. Similar to the one in the jaguar XJ. From the picture, it looks like the 17 inch screen really does wonder for the navigation system. More when (or… Continue reading Tesla Model S Interior

  • All new Kia Picanto

    I don’t think we’ll ever see the new Picanto in the US, and it’s too bad. From these pictures, it does seem to have a real personality, and a modern design.In Europe it will compete with cars like the Toyota Aygo. A smaller model than the Yaris not sold here. The strongest engine is a… Continue reading All new Kia Picanto

  • 2012 Hyundai Veloster

    Just a teaser for now.But we do see the convenient 3rd door and the double glass hatchback. I really think this could be quite an interesting car. We don’t have enough fun 2 door hatchbacks around.

  • Chevrolet Cruze Test Drive

    -OUTSIDEI know most of us already think of the Cruze as a “not so new” design. It has been hipped for years, and actually came out in other countries a while ago.But in person, it does look quite modern. Even if a bit on the conservative side of the spectrum.I see its main competition as… Continue reading Chevrolet Cruze Test Drive

  • Fiat 500 SUV testing???

    A 4wd version of the little Fiat 500 has been spotted testing in Europe.It does look weird, and is probably a test mule for some other car. Competition to the Mini Countryman?

  • Next Mercedes C Class

    Which might be coming out sometimes in 2014. The revised C Class we saw a few weeks ago is just a mid-cycle refresh. And the Coupe is coming out soon. These illustrations show what the next generation coupe and sedan might look like. Basically, it seems that Mercedes likes their new CLS class so much… Continue reading Next Mercedes C Class
