2012 COpel Astra coupe
The sporty GTC version pictured here is supposed to be packing about 260hp from a turbo engine. Pretty stunning looking car. Even though the previous generation, sold here as the Saturn Astra, was already good looking. Maybe there is still a slight chance we could get this over here as a Buick Verano Coupe. Who… Continue reading 2012 COpel Astra coupe

2012 Mercedes C-Class Coupe video
Sure it’s not the most original design.But I think it does work, at least for me. I think it is quite a nice addition to the C Class.We’ll have to see if it is priced below the sedan, which would be nice.Like the old Sport Coupe hatch.

2012 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback
Caught in the streets. As far as I know, we’re not getting this. Which is really too bad.With cars like the Mazda3 and new Focus out, GM has nothing to compete in this segment in the US. We’ll see…

2012 Honda Civic coupe
The new coupe at least looks quite a bit different than the model it replaces. But still… It seems to be sitting just a bit on the wrong side of odd. At least on these pictures.

2012 Honda Civic sedan
No surprises here.Just like we thought, this all new design looks a lot like the previous one. And the interior, at least to me, looks older than the current car.A blockier version of the previous one.And they’re also keeping the rather depressing 80’s looking beige interior. No tan here. Old fashion beige will do… It… Continue reading 2012 Honda Civic sedan

Jaguar B99 Concept by Bertone
This Italian designed concept is a smaller car than the XF. By about 18 inches.Which seems strange. It does look quite large on these pictures. Somehow, it seems to achieve the presence of a larger car.Which is exactly what a small Jaguar should do. Although this seems to be a complete departure from their current… Continue reading Jaguar B99 Concept by Bertone

All new Hyundai i40
Basically, a Sonata for Europe.Although it does look different. Even inside.it’s not just a Sonata wagon somehow. I hope they offer it over here as well. Engines in Europe will include a 1.7 Diesel with 136hp, and a 2.0 Liter with 177.

2012 Chevrolet Malibu illustrations
These are the most realistic illustrations I have seen of the next Malibu.I guess we should be seeing the real thing very soon. I still like the current design very much, and I am not sure the next one might be such an improvement. Although spy pictures have shown a very modern looking interior.The 2012… Continue reading 2012 Chevrolet Malibu illustrations

2012 Return of the Audi A2?
The Audi A2 was produced from 1999 to 2005. But never sold in over here. There is now a rumor about an all new A2, based on a stretched A1 platform coming up.Audi is still saying we won’t be getting the A1 in the US, so who knows if a larger version could be sold… Continue reading 2012 Return of the Audi A2?

Power comes from a 1.8 Liter Turbo with 147hp. Later, a British version of the small… Continue reading MG6 Sedan introduced in Europe

Infiniti M56 S test Drive.
OUTSIDE I think the new Infiniti M is one of these cars that some people hate. And others, maybe not love, but really like.When I first saw pictures of it, I thought it had a melted look that wasn’t very attractive.But things are much better in person. At least for me.I think the car is… Continue reading Infiniti M56 S test Drive.

More pictures of the new Kia Picanto
This is pretty nice considering it is 2 size smaller, and cheaper, than the Kia Forte.Bellow the $12 500 Rio. Of course, overseas models get options like leather, sunroof and GPS.Things we can’t even get on a Mazda2 over here. The all new Rio is coming over here later this year. But I hope they… Continue reading More pictures of the new Kia Picanto

New Fiat Freemont interior
As you can see, the interior is as similar to the Dodge Journey as the exterior.Fiat chose to do the minimum amount of modifications for the European model. Except, of course, using their own engines, including diesels, and a manual transmission. Maybe it’ll work… Who knows….

All new Lancia Ypsilon
It’s finally here. After years of spy shots all around the web. And the real thing does look like a Mini Delta, which is good. This has a good chance to end up over here as a small Chrysler.

Infiniti Etherea Concept.
Inifiniti claims we’ll a production version of this pretty soon.It would compete with the Audi A3, BMW 1 and the new Lexus CT 200h. The C pillar does look a little weird, at least on these 80’s looking press pictures. But otherwise, it could turn out really nice. We’ll see…

2012 Hyundai Elantra Coupe
Not sure if this is the real thing or not.But Hyundai as announced a few days ago that the new Elantra will be getting a coupe version this spring.
