  • 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT

    This new model is replacing the Elantra Touring.And it is pretty much exactly the same car as the new 130 sold in Europe.Which is great news.Same great design, same new interior and same glass roof option. It is powered by a 1.8 Liter engine with 148hp. Good for 28/39MPG.Both a six speed manual and automatic… Continue reading 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT

  • 2013 Acura ILX

    Here are the first pictures of the production version. (The grey car is the Hybrid version)I just wonder why they even bothered to show us a fake “concept” a few weeks ago.I guess that’s just what they do… There will be 3 models:-2.0 Liter with 150hp and 5 speed Auto. Good for 24/32 MPG-2.4 Liter… Continue reading 2013 Acura ILX

  • 2013 Nissan 370Z

    Just a few small revisions for the new year.As you can see, mostly up front. With new LED lights, just to be like everyone else.Redesigned wheels and not much else. Which is just fine by me…

  • What a difference…

    This is a recent European crash test of the all new 2012 Beetle.With excellent results.Not for the old one…Quite a nightmare. And what a difference a few decades make.

  • Clint and Chrysler

    I must say I was a bit dissapointed when I saw this .There is just not enough Clint. And, especially, not enough cars. The patriotic message seems to be lost when you know that Chrysler is now pretty much owned by Fiat.It is basically the least American company in Detroit.Which is not a bad thing.… Continue reading Clint and Chrysler

  • Nissan Invitation Concept

    Looking pretty much production ready.Which means it could be replacing the Nissan Note in Europe. Not sure this would fit in the US line up. Where we already have the Versa.So it’s probably not for us…

  • 2013 Acura ILX

    Here is the 1st official look at the new Civic based Acura ILX sedan.Pretty much the same car we saw a few weeks ago as a “concept”.Except for the lowest part of the bumper. Not sure yet if this is replacing the TSX, which seems larger since it is based on the Euro Accord.

  • 2013 Hyundai Tucson

    Looks like the Tucson id getting a bigger grille for next year.I guess to match the one in the new Santa Fe.It’s kind of too bad. It looks just fine the way it is now.

  • 2013 VW Beetle TDI

    We new this was coming. The return of the Diesel Beetle.Which is good news. Which is not good news as the MPG rating. 29 in the city but only 39HWY.Which is less than some other small cars. And diesel, at least where I live, is about $1 more a gallon than regular.Still, what you get… Continue reading 2013 VW Beetle TDI

  • 2013 Mazda 5

    This is the new front end of the japanese version.Which should be making it over here during the year, I would think. Another car maker obsessed with making sure all it’s models have the same front end.Which happens a lot. I don’t think this is an improvement. But it doesn’t seem to make things worse… Continue reading 2013 Mazda 5

  • Chevrolet Volt Super Bowl Commercial

    I actually kind of like this. Although the CGI work could be better… I do like the Volt, and am quite curious about it. Scheduled to get one for a week next month. Which should be quite interesting…

  • 2013 Kia Forte

    Once again, based on the Hyundai Elantra, the Forte is getting an all new look for the next year. I drove a few versions of the current model and was always pretty impressed. So an even better car can only be great news. And we will probably be getting the European Cee’d as the hatchback… Continue reading 2013 Kia Forte

  • 2013 Mercedes A Class

    First picture of the real thing, or so it seems. It also looks to have a more agresssive bumper and grille than the spy pics we’ve seen before.Which would suggest an AMG version. We are supposed to be getting, for the fisrt time, a version of the A Class in the US sometime next year.The… Continue reading 2013 Mercedes A Class

  • 2013 Fiat 500 L

    So this is not a 4 door version of the cute 500. Instead, an all new car with a similar face.It is longer and wider. Europe will get both 5 and 7 seats versions.We will be getting the 5 seats only here. I guess they really wanted to use the 500 name.No matter what its… Continue reading 2013 Fiat 500 L

  • 2013 Viper?

    Obviously just an illustration.And let’s hope this is wrong. Completely wrong. The next Viper should just look striking, not conveluted like this thing. We’ll see the real thing pretty soon.

  • 2013 Ford B-Max

    Just as the C-Max is based on the Focus, the smaller B-Max is based on the Fiesta.Nothing really original here, as it looks exactly like a smaller C-Max.Which, itself doesn’t look that great. The lack of B pillar makes it a bit more interesting, but not nearly as modern looking as the Opel Meriva.This actually… Continue reading 2013 Ford B-Max
