Audi A3 Sedan
The all new sedan version of the redesigned A3 is supposed to become the most popular A3 in the US when it comes out next year. So far, it looks like the same car we saw earlier as a “concept”. One of these fake concepts that basically take the production design and just add larger… Continue reading Audi A3 Sedan

Infiniti JX35 Test Drive Part Two.
The JX35 has to be one of the smoothest ride on the market. It feels more like what people would expect of a Buick or a Lincoln than an Infiniti. It doesn’t feel like a larger FX at all. If basically feels like a Nissan Quest. Which is pretty much what it is underneath. The… Continue reading Infiniti JX35 Test Drive Part Two.

All new Saab 9-3 coming up.
This is pretty much the car version of “The living dead”. Saab was “National Electric Vehicle Sweden” last June. When the Chinese investors announced their intention to produce an all electric version of the next 9-3, based on the all new Phoenix platform. The plan was to introduce the electric 9-3 in 2014. Now there… Continue reading All new Saab 9-3 coming up.

2014 Hyundai Genesis
Looks like the big Genesis sedan is due for an all new design in a little bit over a year. The current model has done pretty well for Hyundai so far. This already looks much more modern. V6 and V8 should return. And there are “crazy” rumors about a 10 speed Automatic transmission.

2014 Mercedes E Class
Just a short teaser video so far. Showing off the new headlight design. Which, on this video, looks really impressive. I pretty much hated the current E class sedan design when it came out just a few years ago. But after being in the car a few times, it has grown on me. Maybe because… Continue reading 2014 Mercedes E Class

2013 VW Beetle Convertible R-Line
Not sure if the sporty R-Line will make it to the US or not. But it does look pretty good. The most obvious difference being a new, more aggressive front bumper. I just wished VW had a smoother, more refined engine than the old 2.0 Liter Turbo to offer as an option on their cars.… Continue reading 2013 VW Beetle Convertible R-Line

All new Toyota RAV4
Just a few more things. Until the real one shows up in a few days. Seems like they are making some effort to make it a bit more interesting. Most of the competition is pretty good looking…

Infiniti JX35 Test Drive Part One.
Interesting to drive this about a week after I drove the more truck based giant QX56. The JX is a completely different way to transport 7 adults in luxury. It is based on the FWD car platform used for the Altima/Maxima/Murano. It is basically Infiniti’s version of the new 2013 Pathfinder. With its own design… Continue reading Infiniti JX35 Test Drive Part One.

Fiat 500 e
“e” is of course for Electric. No official specs yet. But it is expected to be priced under the Nissan Leaf. Which costs about $ 27 700 after rebates. (There is now a great $199 a month lease on the Leaf) So this could be an affordable 2nd car. Now, let’s pray there are other… Continue reading Fiat 500 e

More pictures of the Beetle convertible
These are of the “Exclusive” package offered in Europe. But for the 1st time we see the rear of the car. I am not a fan of the spoiler on the Beetle. I am not sure it works better on the convertible. But I am a big fan of the Beetle. Any Beetle, new or… Continue reading More pictures of the Beetle convertible

2013 Mazda CX-9
We have seen it before, a few weeks ago. But these are the 1st official pictures of the US version. Looks like nothing has been ruined. The new front seems to be working well enough with the rest of the body. And there are minimal changes to the already great interior. The CX-9 has been… Continue reading 2013 Mazda CX-9

VW Jetta GLI test Drive Part two.
The 2.0 Liter Turbo/DSG seems pretty familiar to me now. As I have experienced it in the GTI and Beetle. Now in the Jetta. So I have pretty much the same observations. The DSG is still one of the worst behaved automatic out there. It is almost never smooth. Shifting is pretty abrupt and rough,… Continue reading VW Jetta GLI test Drive Part two.

Ford Transit Connect Wagon
The current generation Transit Connect has been quite a success in the US. Many companies using it as a small delivery van. But Ford has never sold the more family oriented wagon version here, although it is popular in Europe. They will with the new redesigned model. It does look pretty big on these pictures.… Continue reading Ford Transit Connect Wagon
