  • 2013 MG 5

    Still nothing official, but it looks like MG’s competition to the Golf/Focus crowd is pretty much ready. Sure, to most people in the US, these “new” MG cars are a far cry from the cool stuff the brand used to sell here in the 60’s and 70’s.Another story in Europe. Where later in the 80’s… Continue reading 2013 MG 5

  • 2013 Porsche Boxster

    What a great looking car.We could already tell from the spy shots. The 2 models return, Boxster and Boxster S. 2.7 Liter 6 with 264hp and 3.4 Liter with 315hp.6 speed manual on both.$49 500 and $60 900. I guess the rumors of a base 4 cylinder Turbo were wrong. At least for the 1st… Continue reading 2013 Porsche Boxster

  • Long wheelbase BMW 3 series

    Longer wheelbase cars are very popular in China.BMW does offer a longer version of the 5 series, and will soon sell a longer 3 series to compete with the extended Audi A4 sold over there.Interesting…

  • 2013 Audi A3

    This is the 3 door model. Which we will not be getting.The US will see the return of the familiar 5 door hatchback as well as an all new 4 door sedan. Looks like a nice update outside. But especially inside. The interior is a big step up from the current version.

  • 2013 Kia Ceed

    The Ceed is a Euro only Kia.Our next Forte model is supposed to share its platform. The redesigned Ceed will be presented at the Geneva auto show in March.Not much else in known so far. But it does look like another good design from Kia. And maybe they’ll decide to bring it over as a… Continue reading 2013 Kia Ceed

  • 2013 Buick Encore

    This actually seems very nice.Not sure if looks or seems like a Buick though.It could just be a bit too small. Powered by GM’s 1.4 Liter Turbo. (Which seems to be found in everything these days…) We won’t be seeing this for a while as it is expected to reach dealers in “the 1st quarter… Continue reading 2013 Buick Encore

  • Honda Accord Coupe Concept

    Just like last time, they are actually showing us the production version of the car early.Adding a few chrome bits here and there and calling it a concept. Looks like they were afraid to redesign it. And mostly added some character lines.Let’s hope they changed the sedan a bit more. (Make that a lot more…)They… Continue reading Honda Accord Coupe Concept

  • 2013 Toyoa Prius C

    Looking pretty much the same as the Japanese version we saw late last year. Still with what seems like plenty of hard plastic inside, and a rather bare bone looking interior. But, Toyota announced 2 important numbers:-53MPG City.-Under $19 000 to start. Which will make the “C” a huge hit for them. Great MGP is… Continue reading 2013 Toyoa Prius C

  • Lincoln MKZ Concept

    Just when Lincoln desperately need a great production model, they show us yet another concept.A good looking one, sure.But there has been many good looking Lincoln concepts in the past few years. (Whatever happened to the great looking MKR, or the Continental Concept???)None of them has ben translated in great looking cars. Once watered down… Continue reading Lincoln MKZ Concept

  • 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

    I was very impressed by the Genesis Coupe when I got to drive one for a week last year.I though very few things were wrong with it. Focusing mainly in interior details.But this revised version with a new interior seems to have fixed all of this. Plus, the engines have also more power.The 2.0 Liter… Continue reading 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

  • Acura ILX

    This seems to be a replacement for the TSX. Even though it is based on the Civic platform instead of the Euro Accord. A 2.0 Liter engine is standard, and a 2.4 Liter is an option.A new 1.5 Liter Hybrid model will also be available. Looks like its main competition would be the new Buick… Continue reading Acura ILX

  • 2013 Acura RDX

    Just when you though the RDX couldn’t get more boring, they come up with this.Which, to me, looks even older and less original than the current design. It is like if they are trying very hard to not sell any… The 4 Cylinder Turbo has been replace by the 3.5 Liter V6 used in pretty… Continue reading 2013 Acura RDX

  • Lincoln MKZ Concept

    Yes, a concept.They are somehow not ready to show us the real thing yet.And already the interior looks very similar to the new Fusion. I’m afraid thew next MKZ will just be a repeat of the current model: A Fusion with a new interior, a new front end and real lights. Or, maybe not….

  • VW E-Bugster Concept

    This one is just a concept.But I did hear from VW last year that there might very well be a production version of an Electric Beetle in a couple of years.On top of a Hybrid version that would use the same powertrain as the new Jetta Hybrid. For now, this concept gets the usual 100… Continue reading VW E-Bugster Concept
