  • Great Wall Haval H7

    Another new SUV from China. This one is actually quite a nice surprise. Especially from the GreatWall brand which has designed some of the most horrible cars in the past. The interior looks especially modern. This is just fine I think. Better than others … 

  • Will China save Lincoln?

    Ford will be selling Lincolns in China in 2014. They have claimed for years that Lincoln can be an international brand. Even hinting at possible European sales for a while. Which of course, would never work. As the name Lincoln is practically unknown over there.  Brands like Lexus and Infiniti are still having a hard… Continue reading Will China save Lincoln?

  • 2014 Mercedes S Class

    Looks like the squared off phase is over at Mercedes. The new S Class seems much softer and rounded than their recent designs. Same inside. Which is good. Since the S class always sets the design style for other models in the range. Next is the all new C Class. Which could turn out to… Continue reading 2014 Mercedes S Class

  • Fiat 500 Electric priced.

    Official price starts at $32 500. But with federal ,  California credits and other rebates (from Fiat), actual price could be under $21 000. Which is pretty amazing for an all electric car. Even more attractive is the $199 a month lease. With only $999 down. That is the same price as the regular 500… Continue reading Fiat 500 Electric priced.

  • Fiat Viaggio Video

    The Viaggio is Fiat’s version of our Dodge Dart. It’s pretty much a chromed Dart. This Chinese commercial is so serious and obnoxious, it ends up kind of funny, in a ridiculous way. And then, just annoying and boring… Seems they are trying to sell the Fiat sedan as some kind of a luxury car.… Continue reading Fiat Viaggio Video

  • 2015 BMW Z2

    Of course, this is just an illustration. The current Z4 is so expensive (over $10 000 more than the previous generation). I am sure there is room for something cheaper in the line up. Another convertible couldn’t hurt. After coming up with so many SUV’s it would be nice to see a sporty BMW once… Continue reading 2015 BMW Z2

  • Infiniti M37 Test Drive

    We have all seen the M37. It’s not new. I drove the V8 version a while ago. And actually came out pretty impressed. Such a fast car. But it was also about $75 000. A price range with some amazing competition. This time, the V6 version is of course a lot less. Starting at around… Continue reading Infiniti M37 Test Drive

  • Goodbye Fisker?

    Fisker is rumored to be filling for bankruptcy later this week. Very sad. I always enjoy seeing one of these gorgeous cars around. The convertible concept and smaller Atlantic sedan were also great looking designs. Cars that now may never see the light of day…

  • 2014 Maserati Ghibli

    The Quatroporte’s little brother is finally here. All we know so far is that 2 turbocharged V6 engines will be available. (One is the Euro only Diesel) And it has an 8 speed Automatic. RWD is standard and a new “Q4” AWD system will be an option.

  • 2015 VW Phaeton

    VW claims the next version of the Phaeton will be cheaper, and available in the US. I’d say it would have to be a lot cheaper to have a chance… In 2005 they sold only 820 of them. Hyundai sold almost 4000 units of the Equus last year in the US. The Equus is not… Continue reading 2015 VW Phaeton

  • 2015 Hyundai Sonata?

    Looks like it to me. Hyundai has already mentioned that the design of the next generation will be an evolution of the current car. Which is still very popular. So this look like it could be it. What do you think?

  • 2014/15 VW Jetta CC

    This rumor has been around for years now. About a coupe like CC version of the Jetta. Just like the Passat CC, it would be a bit more expensive than the regular Jetta sedan, not as roomy and much better looking. Not sure if there is really a market for this. But it seems that… Continue reading 2014/15 VW Jetta CC

  • Renault Twin’Z Concept

     Behind all the crazy light show and horrible neon colors, you can see that Renault is finally trying to channel the personality of the original Renault 5 from the 70’s. The small car known as the LeCar here in the US. There has been years of rumors about this. This is the 1st official look… Continue reading Renault Twin’Z Concept

  • Something you don’t see every day…

    A Chevrolet Caprice. The one GM is NOT selling in the US. The one which is pretty much a Chevy version of the Holden. In Burbank! No manufacturer’s plate. Everything regular. Not sure how that person got the car…

  • 2014 Fiat 500XL

    If you need more room than the 5 seater 500L, don’t worry. The even longer XL 7 seater version is coming out soon. Although not in the US. The next 500 we will see will be the small Crossover version.
