  • Qoros Concepts

     1st this Qoros 3 Cross Hybrid Concept. Which is basically a hatchback version of their new sedan. A bit raised up like what VW is doing with most of their models in Europe. The powertrain is more interesting. Although still in concept form. It is a small 1.2 Liter three-cylinder turbo good for 130hp. With… Continue reading Qoros Concepts

  • Qoros 3 sedan

    The Qoros is a Chinese Chery model designed specifically for Europe. In partnership with Israel Corp. So basically, China’s first serious attempt at the European market. The car looks fine. Nothing stands out but nothing seems really wrong either. Engine is a small 1.6 Liter with 126hp. Or 156 with a Turbo. Not sure if… Continue reading Qoros 3 sedan

  • 2014 Holden Commodore SSV

    The SSV is apparently the one we will get over here as the Chevrolet SS. That “4 door Corvette GM is promising us… This is really not my thing. A giant V8 in a boring suit with black wheels. And it is still not much more than a slightly updated Pontiac G8 from years ago.… Continue reading 2014 Holden Commodore SSV

  • How about some AMC Pacer commercials

    Funny how they sold it as the wide small car. Ultimately, it felt more like a big car. And it was about as thirsty as one. At a time when people were getting used to small cars in the US, they came up with a “fake” small car.

  • 2015 Ford Edge leaks (?)

    This is what was on a internal Ford PDF presentation. As part of a “Global line-up” page. Everything was normal except the Edge picture. Which apparently was showing the next version due for the 2015 model year. It does look pretty real to me. And seems to be in line with the more recent designs… Continue reading 2015 Ford Edge leaks (?)

  • 2014 Fiat 500X

    This is apparently still just an illustration. But the all new crossover version of the 500 is on the menu for the upcoming Geneva auto show. So we will see the real thing in just a few days. Looks like they are trying to squeeze anything they can out of the “500” name. First the… Continue reading 2014 Fiat 500X

  • Audi S3

     Apparently the S version of the new A3 will only be available in the 5 door body now called Sportback. (Europe does get a slightly sportier looking 3 door). Specs are pretty impressive, with 300hp from the familiar 2.0 Liter Turbo Competing with the new Focus RS and its 320hp. But no more manual. As… Continue reading Audi S3

  • Lamborghini Coupe Concept

    Lamborghini will present a concept version off their new coupe at the upcoming Geneva auto show. From this illustration, it doesn’t look like anything crazy or futuristic. But rather classy. A refreshing idea in a world where Ferraris look more and more vulgar with each new design.

  • Mercedes A Class AMG

    Which seems to be called A45. The new A Class can be ordered with an AMG Pack. Which is not the real thing. They are talking about 360hp from the 2.0 Liter turbo and a 7 speed DSG type auto. Sounds pretty crazy. We should know more very soon.

  • 2014 Seat Leon SC

    This is the coupe version of the new Leon hatchback introduced a few months ago. It shares its platform with the new Audi A3 and the Golf VII. And it looks better than both. Sure it is a very simple design, but it manages to have more character than both the new A3 and the… Continue reading 2014 Seat Leon SC

  • 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C

    This is it, the real thing. And this will be the 1st Alfa we are getting in the US. At the end of the year. Not much else is known about the car yet. Expect at least 240hp from a small 1.7 Liter Turbo engine. It should be priced close to the Porsche Cayman. So… Continue reading 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C

  • Infiniti Q60?

    This was sent to me as the new 2015 Infiniti Q60. Which basically, will be the coupe version of the all new Q50 sedan. Replacing the G37 coupe. Just like the new 4-series is now the coupe version of the 3-series for BMW. Looks like it could be it. 

  • Honda Fit based SUV

    This is an illustration from Brasil. Where the upcoming small Fit based Crossover should prove quite popular. Honda has big plans for the next Fit in the US as well. As a sedan will join the regular hatchback for the 1st time. And this SUV/Crossover . As you can see, the illustration is mainly based… Continue reading Honda Fit based SUV

  • Buick Regal GS test drive

    The new Regal has always been a good-looking car. And the GS version ads a more aggressive tone to that design without being too gaudy. Which is great. The only “detail” I really didn’t like was the $700 20 Inch “polished” wheels option. Polished meaning “chromed”. Which is never the classiest way to go.  … Continue reading Buick Regal GS test drive

  • 2014 Chevrolet SS

    At least it does look like it. It also looks a lot like a Pontiac G8. Which is basically what it is. An updated version of the G8 sold as a Chevrolet. I wish they did that with the Solstice instead….

  • Next VW GTI

    Just a few more pictures of the next GTI. Which should be introduced soon in Europe. But will take a bit over a year to come over to the US. With the regular Golf. Same engine but power is supposed to be up to 230hp. Now we hear the diesel version, called GTD, might be… Continue reading Next VW GTI

  • Rolls-Royce Wraith

    Just another teaser picture of the all new Rolls Coupe. Interesting to see how they are talking about their car. Here is the press stuff that came with the picture: “Rolls-Royce Motor Cars today publishes the second image of its next model, Wraith, a hand-built motor car that exudes hallmark Rolls-Royce luxury and comfort whilst… Continue reading Rolls-Royce Wraith

  • 2014 Kia Optima

    Looks like the Optima will be getting some changes for next year. Although I think it is still one of the best looking cars in its class and hope they don’t mess it up. This is the current model.  As you can see, it is really hard to tell any of the changes for next… Continue reading 2014 Kia Optima

  • New Chevrolet Ad

    Featuring the new C7 for the 1st time. Shot in the “Blade Runner tunnel” in Downtown Los Angeles. I also noticed the Impala segment makes the new sedan look really nice as well.
