VW Beetle Convertible review coming up.
This will be my ride for the next few days. A turbo model. Unfortunately, paired with the usual DSG. So far, I think it looks great, inside and out. Feels much heavier and solid tan the previous generation. And the 2.0 Liter Turbo still sounds like a diesel in the morning…

Nissan Sentra Test drive
The Sentra is all-new for 2013. Looking a bit like a baby Altima. But I am not sure it works. Squeezing the Altima design onto a smaller platform isn’t the best idea. It does look weird and heavy from some angles. To make matter worse, my SR test car had horrible looking side skirts and… Continue reading Nissan Sentra Test drive

Kia Pro Cee’d GT
The coupe version of the Euro Cee’d is getting a GTI fighter. And it looks quite nice. Looking more like a cross between a GTI and a Scirocco. Not sure of the specs yet, but you can bet it will be more powerful than the GTI. Although, as they say, power isn’t everything. Still, a… Continue reading Kia Pro Cee’d GT

VW Golf electric and hybrid versions
VW will release an all electric version of the new Golf next year. Which should be priced at a bit under $40 000 before incentives. The blue car is the hybrid version. Using the fantastic new powertrain now offered in the Jetta Hybrid. And it should be great. The hatchback will make it a better… Continue reading VW Golf electric and hybrid versions

2014 VW GTI
Here it is. The GTI version of the Golf VII. Now with a small pump to 230hp. The Golf will be on sale in the US about a year from now. We will get the mexican built version. The GTI should come over here at about the same time.

2014 VW Golf/Jetta Wagon
This is the wagon version of the all new Golf presented late last year in Europe. The Jetta Wagon we have in the US is basically the wagon version of the previous Golf. Now that the Golf and Jetta are very different cars, I wonder what they will call it in the US. Will they… Continue reading 2014 VW Golf/Jetta Wagon

2014 Nissan X-Trail/Rogue?
The X-Trail is a compact Nisan SUV that has never been sold in the US. And, as you can see, an all new one is on its way. The X trail is more of a real off roader than the Rogue sold here. But there were some rumors that the X Trail Qashqai (The Rogue’s… Continue reading 2014 Nissan X-Trail/Rogue?

2013 Nissan Sentra test drive
I must say, this is quite a different experience than the Jetta Hybrid I just returned… So far, hard seats, numb steering and a rough/noisy engine aren’t something I am looking forward to drive for the next week. Maybe things will get better….

Rolls Royce Wraith
Here is the 1st picture of the all new “small” Coupe from Rolls Royce. Quite a different shape for them. Seems very modern. We’ll know more and see the whole thing early March.

New Chrysler design language coming up.
They claim the all new 2014 Chrysler 200 will feature Chrysler’s new design direction. One that has nothing to do with current models. Above is a pic of the 2009 200C Concept. Still a good looking sedan. Something Chrysler should have had years ago in the showrooms. Is this it? The new design language? Or… Continue reading New Chrysler design language coming up.

VW Jetta Hybrid test drive
I have driven most versions of the new Jetta over the past year, and was really curious about this new Hybrid. It is one of these “invisible” Hybrids. It has a slightly different front end . And a few badges here and there. Most people will never know the difference between this and a regular… Continue reading VW Jetta Hybrid test drive
