Chrysler to kill the Dodge Avenger
Not official yet. But it will be soon. There will be no Dodge version of the all new Chrysler 200. So while most people will talk about “no new Avenger coming up”. I think it means “no more Dodge very soon”. I mean really, think about it. All their trucks are now under a new… Continue reading Chrysler to kill the Dodge Avenger

What the Hell happened to the Mitsubishi Mirage???
I mean look at this! This is the sedan version of the hatchback sold in the US. So far the sedan is for Canada. But Mitsubishi is also considering it for the US. There is no excuse for a car looking like that in 2014 This makes the Versa sedan look like Marilyn Monroe. This… Continue reading What the Hell happened to the Mitsubishi Mirage???

Nissan IDx Concept to go into production
That is great news. Now Nissan will have their own retro/futuristic car. As the new concept was inspired by the old Datsun model. A simple shape that can still work today. Also refreshing to see a 2 door sedan that isn’t trying to look like a hatchback. But, this is a pure concept design. So… Continue reading Nissan IDx Concept to go into production

2014 Qoros 3 Hatchback
One really good looking Chinese car from Qoros. The previously announced sedan is now being produced and delivered to customers in Chine. Bot hatch and sedan will be sold in Europe later this year. Followed by a wagon. Where it will compete with cars like the Golf, Astra etc… Just a s a reminder, here… Continue reading 2014 Qoros 3 Hatchback

Chevrolet Silverado High Country Test Drive.
I mentioned before that I am not a “truck guy”. I like cars. I have zero need in my life for a truck (Maybe that’s why). But I thought it would be interesting to drive one for a week. A real big macho truck that makes John Wayne look like a girl scout. The Siverado… Continue reading Chevrolet Silverado High Country Test Drive.

Chinese made Volvo cars coming to the US.
Well. We all knew it was a matter of time. But they made it official today. Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson mentioned that it would happen “fairly quickly”. So basically, the 1st Chinese cars to hit the US market won’t be the cheap sub $10 000 stuff we were thinking about a few years ago. But… Continue reading Chinese made Volvo cars coming to the US.

Acura TLX
This is the concept version of the next Acura TSX. Which is the next TL. Instead of a new design, we get what looks like a larger version of the ILX. Itself already a boring car. The top one is the TLX. Basically the exact same lines as the ILX, stretched out. I know most… Continue reading Acura TLX

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Finally, the real thing. It is everything that was excepted, and nothing more. I guess the ATS sedan is not an exiting looking car and I was expecting a bit more from the coupe. Something more than a 2 door sedan. Still, there seem to be nothing really wrong here. Well proportioned, classic… I guess.… Continue reading 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe

2015 Hyundai Genesis
Just a few more official pictures of the US version. A nice looking car. In my opinion, much better than the previous model that already looked old the day it came out. But still, another derivative design. Fusion, previous Infiniti M etc… This is no A7… But it could really be a nice car to… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai Genesis

2015 Porsche 911 Targa
The return of the real Targa top. Not the glass sunroof it has been for the last few years. And I think it looks fantastic. It’s even automatic. As the top is now soft and retracts behind the rear window. Starts at a bit over $100 000. Here is a video showing how the whole… Continue reading 2015 Porsche 911 Targa

Nissan Sport Sedan Concept
This is supposed to preview the next Maxima. I wish… I do like the design. But I feel this will be toned way down for the Maxima. I wish they would just keep this. With a few small changes. (imagine how it would stand out next to the Avalon or Impala.) But I’m afraid this… Continue reading Nissan Sport Sedan Concept

2015 Chrysler 200
Officially shown today for the 1st time. But nothing new to anyone with an internet connection since pictures have leaked a few days ago. I really like the way they designed the wood trim on the dash. It does feel quite original, for once. But I still think the exterior looks way too much like… Continue reading 2015 Chrysler 200

VW CrossBlue
VW is now saying the CrossBlue SUV will finally be produced in the US. But it is still over a year away. The CrossBlue looks fine. Boring but fine. But as a 2016 model, it will already look old! (Come to think of it, the more I look at these pictures, the more I think… Continue reading VW CrossBlue

VW Beetle Dune Concept
VW claims this has more changes to go into production than the one they showed us back in 2000. (I guess, since that last one had zero chances of production…) It does look fun. Although the square lower grille in the front looks weird. (No matter what, the Bug is a round car.) Otherwise, it… Continue reading VW Beetle Dune Concept

2015 GMC Canyon
Basically a Chevrolet Colorado with a GMC front end. Which solidifies GMC’s reputation as just a “Different grille” company. But I guess it works. Since they sell tons of their full size trucks and SUVs while the Chevrolet versions are the same. Besides that, I actually do like the Canyon. The front does look better… Continue reading 2015 GMC Canyon

VL Destino Cabriolet.
It seems to be working well since they are planing to show a convertible of their car at the Detroit Auto Show. Which could be quite pricey since the sedan is already around $200 000. Here is the Karma convertible concept from a couple of years ago. NOT the Destino. Looks like VL destine is… Continue reading VL Destino Cabriolet.

Porsche 911 Targa
Still not sure if this is real or not. But even if it isn’t, it is very close to the real thing. Since we have already seen patent designs that look exactly like this. I guess the removable part of the top is stored in the front trunk? UPDADE: Sorry it’s a fake. Just found… Continue reading Porsche 911 Targa

Audi Allroad Crossover Concept
This isn’t really a preview of a next small Crossover from Audi. But actually the next TT due out in a few months. Of course, the TT won’t have a wagon style rear end, and it will sit lower. But the rest of the cat is pretty much there. It even has the TT interior… Continue reading Audi Allroad Crossover Concept

2015 Audi Q3 (US)
These are pictures of the US version of the small Q3 SUV. It is not a new model since it has been on sale in Europe since June 2011. (After claiming the US would never get this, it looks like they changed their minds.) Not pricing yet, but it should be a bit above the… Continue reading 2015 Audi Q3 (US)
