The new Hybrid model replaces the base 4 cylinder that was available until 2011.The V6 remains, but has more power for 2012. Now rated at 303hp. Both models will be offered at the same price.

2012 Kia Tam
All we have so far is this illustration.Which seems pretty optimistic when you compare it with the spy shots we’ve seen before of the actual thing. This will be a really small car, probably not for the US, with a tiny 1.0 Liter three cylinder engine.

For those who like it, I think it is still missing a little chrome line around the windows.It’s not much, but adds a lot. For those who hate it… Well….

More pictures of the 2012 VW Beetle
Driving around in Europe. I am really getting used to the new design, and now love it. The car seems more substantial and upscale than before. Even though the previous design was much purer. The interior has nice retro touches. But it also depends on what color you pick. The black finish is black only… Continue reading More pictures of the 2012 VW Beetle

2012 Mercedes M Class
More, and much better, pictures of the all new M Class. It does look much better on these photos, especially inside. Outside, it seems like a cross between the current generation and the E class wagon. Not very exciting or new.And even more generic than the current one.

Opel Astra GTC
More pictures of the coupe version of the Astra.Which might actually end up over here, as a coupe version of the Buick Verano.And that would be a great idea! It was tough selling the previous version in the US as a Saturn. Mainly because of the cost of importing it from the Belgian factory. And… Continue reading Opel Astra GTC

Based on our previous generation Maxima.Which means it came out in 2004.So, a new one is coming out. Very soon. And based on the concept we’ve seen a little while ago. Once it is out as a… Continue reading 2012 Samsung SM7

2012 Mercedes M Class
Lots of new Mercedes models lately.An all new M is around the corner. And these are pictures of the real thing, from the brochure itself.It does look a bit better than what I saw on some earlier illustrations. But I wouldn’t say it is an improvement over the current model. The new, more blocky interior… Continue reading 2012 Mercedes M Class

2012 Audi A3
These are just illustrations. But the real thing could be pretty close. From what we’ve seen from Audi already. The hatchback will be joined by a new sedan design.Which Audi thinks will be the most popular version in the US. And they are probably right.Although I do like the hatchback much better, and as far… Continue reading 2012 Audi A3

2012 BMW 3 series
With less camouflage than before. Still hard to tell details, so maybe there is some 2012 1 Series weirdness under there. But I would guess, mostly a small 5 series.

2013 Tesla Model S
This “Alpha” version is the closest one to the production model yet.And it still looks great.It is still on track to start production early next year. Just a few months away.So it is getting closer and closer to reality. With prices starting at $50 000 for the base model, it should be a problem to… Continue reading 2013 Tesla Model S

2012 Toyota Camry
More pictures of the camouflaged new Camry. It won’t break any grounds, but it will probably, again, be the best selling car in the country. No matter how many people love hating it.

2012 Mercedes A Class
Not sure if this is still an illustration or not.If it is, it does match the patent pictures we saw a few weeks ago. Actually quite a nice looking compact. If a bit busy.Will compete directly against the redesigned BMW 1 series and upcoming new Audi A3. We are supposed to be getting a version… Continue reading 2012 Mercedes A Class

2012 BMW 1 series interior
Quite an improvement over the current one. And also seems much better than the current 3 series. And quite roomy too. At least from these pictures.

2012 Kia Rio
Just saw this on the freeway earlier today, on m y way to the beach. I must say, it looks stunning in person. Better than anything I can think of in the segment. Should be a gig hit for Kia when it comes out…

All new 2012 BMW 1 series hatchback
The hatchback version of the 1 series is being redesigned for the 2012 model year.And I must say it does look quite good. A very nice evolution of the current model. That means the coupe and convertible versions, sold over here, will follow about a year later. This is the current 1 series. So you… Continue reading All new 2012 BMW 1 series hatchback

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport test drive
-HOW IT LOOKS.The Outlander Sport isn’t the best looking car around. It does have some cute proportions, so it could look much better than it does.There are just too many lines everywhere. Especially in the back.It is one of these cars that seems to have had about 28 designers working on it. I must say,… Continue reading Mitsubishi Outlander Sport test drive
