2012/13 BMW 3 series GT
Still, just another illustration.But there won’t be many surprises when the new 3 series comes out early next year.And the GT will just be a hatchback version of the sedan. It might work better than the 5 series GT which looks too heavy and bloated.Will compete in Europe with the Audi A5 Sportback. Which does… Continue reading 2012/13 BMW 3 series GT

2012 Kia K9

Buick Verano
Just a new picture of the all new small Opel Astra based small Buick. Outside. (From a recent event in Baltimore) It might actually look pretty good in real life.I saw a few Astras last time I was in Europe, and they do look really good. So an “Astra with a trunck” could still be… Continue reading Buick Verano

2012 Hyindai Elantra coupe
The Elantra is one of the best looking compact sedan on the market.And it already seems very popular too. They seem to be everywhere. The upcoming coupe might be another nail in the 2012 Civic coffin.The new Civic hasn’t been getting great reviews so far.That’s on top of the fact that the new designs looks… Continue reading 2012 Hyindai Elantra coupe

Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster
The stunning retro futuristic Mercedes is now offered as a convertible.Quite a looker. Sure, you do miss the cool Gullwing doors from the coupe. So it is not as original.But still… Specs are similar to the coupe, with a 6.3 Liter V8 with 563hp and a 7 speed auto.

2012 Nissan Versa
Looking pretty bad in real life too.Sure, nothing looks great with blacked out sticker and no wheel covers.But still.It looks too tall and odd. But I guess not worse than the current model, which has been a good seller for Nissan.

More pictures of the all new Chevrolet Sonic
A few people got to drive the new Sonic in Indiana yesterday.Here are some pictures. I almost forgot about the Sonic. It does look quite interesting, and the available 1.4 Liter Turbo, which works fine in the Cruze, should be an even better match for the smaller Sonic.And quite a good performer too. More on… Continue reading More pictures of the all new Chevrolet Sonic

2012 Toyota Camry
Hidden behind one of the weirdest camouflage I have ever seen. Don’t expect anything drastic though. I really don’t think the new Camry will try to push the envelope like the recent Kia and Hyundai models.They are, instead, focusing on keeping the hundreds of thousands who keep buying Camrys year after year. Competing more with… Continue reading 2012 Toyota Camry

The all new small “UP” model from VW will end up replacing the aging Lupo in some markets.Not sure what it’ll be called here. This illustration gives us an idea of what the production version will look like.It’ seems pretty close to the latest concept seen a while ago.

2012 Scion FR-S
Testing in Germany. Like everything else these days… Not sure if it is indeed the Scion/Toyota or the Subaru version. Both have been caught testing and they don’t look that different from each other. No matter what, it’ll be nice to get 2 new small RWD coupe, hopefully starting at around $20 000.There isn’t that… Continue reading 2012 Scion FR-S

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
With all these new Hyundai models in the past couple of years, I was wondering about the good old Santa Fe. Well, the next one looks pretty much ready to come out. Next year will see the all new Santa Fe. Just wondering of it’ll keep the V6, or, like the Sonata, will rely on… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

Audi does it right
Unlike BMW. How to come up with a good looking wagon, a great looking hatchback. All from a conservative looking sedan….
