  • 2012 Mercedes ML

    Looking like an SUV version of the boxy E Class.Sure, it does look a bit better than the GLK, but that’s not saying much. The current model still looks good, and better than this. We’ll see when they release actual pictures, but the one above does seem to match every spy shot I have seen… Continue reading 2012 Mercedes ML

  • New 20120 MG5

    As you can guess, this will fit under the MG6 and the small MG3.The MG 6 just started production in England a few weeks ago. The interior on this prototype looks really nice. Far better than almost anything else from China.It looks like MG might become the 1st Chinese manufacturer to really become a contender… Continue reading New 20120 MG5

  • Kia Tam

    A surprising tiny new car from Kia.Looking pretty much ready to come out soon. It also looks like it would be mostly for the local Korean market. Maybe Europe as well.But I am not sure Kia is ready to sell this in the US. But who knows. Rising gas prices have plenty to do with… Continue reading Kia Tam

  • 2012 Audi A6 Avant

    Back in “the days”, Avant used to mean the hatchback versions of various Audi and VW models.Now it just means “wagon”. The new A6 is a good looking car, if a bit boring and predictable. And so is the wagon version.It is exactly what you think it would look like. Unlike the CTS wagon, which… Continue reading 2012 Audi A6 Avant

  • More pictures of the all new Opel Zafira

    No surprises inside. It looks like another version of the theme used in the Astra and the Insignia.Which would be right at home next to the Verano and Regal. Engines range from 110hp to 165hp.Including the 1.4 Liter Turbo with 140hp used in the Cruze.

  • Chevrolet Traverse test drive coming up…

    This is what I’ve been driving this week. Some of you were close. I’ll answer any questions you might have. Mine is a LTZ model with AWD.And yes, the interior plastics are cheap and shiny looking…

  • 2012 Opel Zafira

    The 3rd generation Zafira is finally here. After tons of spy shots and various illustrations, and a concept version a while ago. Here is the real thing. And it looks really good. Much better than the Ford Grand C-Max (Sold here as “just” the C-Max). I am not sure how modern GM wants to turn… Continue reading 2012 Opel Zafira

  • Fiat 500 quick drive

    Just went to drive the new Fiat 500 for a little bit a few days ago.This was not one of the fleet cars that I get to try for a week. But rather a quick trip to the Los Angeles Fiat dealer with a friend of mine.We were both very curious about the new 500.… Continue reading Fiat 500 quick drive

  • 2012 Hyundai i40 sedan

    More pictures of the Sonata’s European cousin.It is a bit shorter than the US version. And uses different engines, including 2 diesels. Looks like Hyundai is spending quite a bit of money trying to compete in Europe.They didn’t just bring over the Sonata with a new front end. This is a new car, based on… Continue reading 2012 Hyundai i40 sedan

  • 40 years ago….

    Names like Fury GT, Gremlin, LTD, Eldorado and Riviera were part of our lives.Not anymore. On these pictures, only the Mustang survived. .Plymouth has been gone for years. So has AMC..The LTD has become the Taurus. (Unless it was the Crown Victoria, now “kind of” replaced by the Taurus).Eldorado could be the CTS Coupe. But… Continue reading 40 years ago….

  • 2012 Mercedes A Class

    Finally pictures of the real thing.And it does look quite busy, with conflicting lines everywhere.Besides the grille, nothing much says “Mercedes” here. It will compete with the redesigned Audi A3, BMW 1 series and the current Lexus CT200h in Europe. Here… It is rumored to be coming over. But maybe just as a sedan. To… Continue reading 2012 Mercedes A Class

    Toyota will finally bring over the iQ to the US next year as a Scion. And an electric version should follow within a year. Toyota claims the new Electric car will be priced bellow the Nissan Leaf, but will be only available as a lease.By that time, Toyota should also be selling a pure electric… Continue reading 2013 Scion iQ EV?

  • 2012 Mercedes S Class

    I am really not a fan of Mercedes’s recent block designs, but it seems to be getting better. The CLS doesn’t look as horrible and plain as the E Class. And from what we can see here, the next S Class will also be much better looking than the E Class. I always liked the… Continue reading 2012 Mercedes S Class

  • 2013 VW Golf ?

    These illustrations show what the next generation Golf might look like.The second one shows us a possible CC, or coupe version. Similar to what they did with the Passat CC. It might seem weird on a compact. But it did work with the Passat, so why not. One thing is sure, the next Golf won’t… Continue reading 2013 VW Golf ?

  • GMC Terrain test drive.

    -THE LOOK.The Terrains’s blocky design is not for everyone.I really didn’t like it when I saw the first pictures of it, back when it was introduced.Although I am still not crazy about it, I’ve grown to recognize a certain personality to it.It does stand out more than its Chevrolet .And it looks larger than it… Continue reading GMC Terrain test drive.
