More pictures of the 2012 Mercedes C Class Coupe
I think it is quite elegant, if not original. It’ll probably “serve the brand well”… Adding customers to the popular C Class. They’re not looking to sell tons of these anyway.

2012 Kia Rio
At least on these pictures, it looks as good as any other hatchback from anywhere.This should help Kia a lot in Europe. Over here, it looks much better than the larger Forte hatchback that just came out.Even if it is one size smaller. I bet this will find a lot of takers against the Fiesta… Continue reading 2012 Kia Rio

More pictures of the 2012 Honda Civic sedan
Looking more and more like a cross between the current model and a 2001 Camry. Which isn’t horrible, really. But the competition seemed to have moved on. And on…. The coupe, on the other hand, could be much more interesting.

jaguar is coming with a smaller convertible to compete with cars like the Boxter and BMW Z4. This is just an illustration, mixing elements of pretty much all current Jaguar models.Let’s hope the real thing is a bit more original. We should see a concept version soon.

2012 Acura TL
For once, a new model is actually a toned down version of the previous one. There are only small changes to the TL for 2012, but they do make the car a bit less aggressive. Which is what most people wanted I guess.And the new grille is similar to what they’ve done with the 2012… Continue reading 2012 Acura TL

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Fans of the Z28 name will be disappointed. They will have to learn how to live with the ZL!. Which is now the official name of the most powerful factory Camaro ever.It is getting 550hp from its big 6.2 Liter V8. I must say, I really have little interest in a 550hp car.But I do… Continue reading 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Nissan Esflow Concept
Nissan has been teasing us with the idea of a small RWD coupe for years.Could this be it? Or is it an idea of what the next Z could look like. Either way, without all the concept pits, it does has a nice sporty shape to it.

2012 VW Jetta GLI
Basically, a Jetta with the GTI 2.0 Liter Turbo engine.Which us not a bad recipe. The GLI also gets a fully rear independent suspension that is missing in the regular 2011 Jetta. Strangely enough, 3 versions are available.A bases GLI will go for $23 500.While a loaded Autobahn version will be priced at $25 500.$1000… Continue reading 2012 VW Jetta GLI

New Ford Territory.
When “new” means “kinda new”. It’s basically just a refresh of the current generation, with changes to the front and rear.And maybe inside, who knows… The rest of the car does look pretty old, dating from 2004. The new Explorer looks much, much more modern than this, and it is what Ford should be selling… Continue reading New Ford Territory.

2012 Buick Regal eAssist Hybrid
Using the same engine as the one in the new base Lacrosse. The main advantage will be the 26/37 MPG rating versus 19/30 for the regular Regal. Wheels are now smaller and lighter. And the trunk is a bit smaller. This engine is standard on the 2012 Lacrosse, we’ll see how much they charge for… Continue reading 2012 Buick Regal eAssist Hybrid

So who knows how close to the production model this will be.But it could actually be pretty close. They are already rumors of using a Mercedes 1.8 Liter Turbo, and… Continue reading All new Infiniti Compact coming up

More pictures of the new Honda Fit Shuttle
It’s not looking any better. I like the idea of a super sized Fit. Why not. But where are the designers from the Fit?The people responsible for this seem to have been stuck in the early 80’s.While the regular Fit looks like a modern car. This is retro in a bad way. With weird proportions.… Continue reading More pictures of the new Honda Fit Shuttle

Peugeot 601?
It looks like Peugeot isn’t giving up on the high end sedan market after all. Despite many failures over the years. It seems that most European luxury car buyers won’t even consider anything else than Mercedes or BMW. And recently, Audi. A tough fight for anyone else… But it looks like Peugeot might be ready… Continue reading Peugeot 601?

Quite a bit classier than Chrysler’s Detroit commercial…

The two minute Superbowl Chrysler Commercial
Featuring Eminem, Detroit. And a Chrysler 200. Basically a commercial for Detroit, more than Chrysler. You’d think for $6 million they would at least feature more than the 200, which is not even all new.“imported from Detroit”. Really? Who cares where a good car is from anymore. What a waste…

All new Honda Fit Shuttle
It is now official.What looked like a bad photoshop illustration will be a real car after all… It is basically a wagon version of the cute and already very roomy Honda Fit. Not sure who was asking for it. Now it’s a bit roomier, and uglier. Like an early 80’s Japanese concept car ugly….
