  • All new JDM Honda Odyssey

    Looks like there is an all new Odyssey for the japanese market. We all remember the very 1st generation that was sold here . It was a “smaller than minivan” van. With regular car doors. But eventually Honda decided the US needed something much larger for the second generation. In Japan, the local Odyssey kept… Continue reading All new JDM Honda Odyssey

  • Lexus IS-F Coupe

    Another monster coming up from Lexus. I just saw the new IS sedan driving around a few days ago, and it’s not pretty. This is a complete mess. Although this is just an illustration, I wouldn’t put it past Lexus to add all these vents, skirts and wings. I am sure the base model would… Continue reading Lexus IS-F Coupe

  • Porsche 911 Targa

     Porsche has been testing a Targa version of the new 911 for a while now. And this (kind of weird) illustration shows us what it could look like. Which is really a blend of retro and futuristic. The Targa style is so familiar to the 911. It will be really nice to see the new… Continue reading Porsche 911 Targa

  • Hyundai iX25

    This all new Hyundai model is rumored to be based on the Kia Soul platform. We’ve seen some of these prototypes before, and they actually do look a bit like the Soul. Not sure this will make it to the US or not. It will be smaller than the Tucson, known as the iX35 in… Continue reading Hyundai iX25

  • Chang-An A301

    Another day, another Chinese copy. This ones reminds me of a lot of cars. Including the Yaris and the Sonic. I am not even sure the black part of the top is actually a sunroof. I can’t see any cut lines, so it could just be black paint? What does this remind you of?

  • 2014 Mercedes S Class

    I know, the new S Class is already out. So why is it still testing, camouflaged, in Los Angeles? Unless this is the next C-Class? What do you think? (Thanks to Jon for this)

  • Fiat Viaggio Hatchback

    Still testing in China. Where the sister car to our Dodge Dart will be offered as a hatchback. I hope Chrysler is considering this for the US as well, where the Dart seems to need help. They need to ditch the DSG type transmission people are complaining about and replace it with a proper automatic.… Continue reading Fiat Viaggio Hatchback

  • More Qoros models coming up.

     Looks like Qoros has big plans for the future. the compact Qoros 3 sedan isn’t on sale yet, and they have already shown hatchback and wagon versions. Now this. Some rather strange Minivan looking thing, and what looks like a larger luxury sedan. Seems that they are also planning much more, from the picture above.… Continue reading More Qoros models coming up.

  • SAAB restarts production.

    So far, only a few pre-production “not for sale” units are being produced under new owner NEVS. These few cars are just being produce to calibrate the assembly line. And look pretty much the same as before. Except for the new Logo. As NEVS didn’t acquire the rights to use the previous badge as part… Continue reading SAAB restarts production.

  • VW Beetle TDI Convertible test drive coming up.

    Something really rare in the US: a diesel convertible. I have it for a week and will answer questions and report on it soon. So far, it is quiet and refined. And the gas mileage, as usual with TDIs,  exceeds official numbers. As I got 47MPG on a day trip a couple of days ago.
