Fiat Punto Avventura
Looks like the Avventura will be coming out soon. Together with a revised version of the regular Punto model. A cute raised up, off road looking hatchback. Of course, this is not for us. Since we are only getting the 500 and its cousins. It would be nice to see a Fiat model in the… Continue reading Fiat Punto Avventura

1971 Ford Mustang
For some reason, I’ve always really liked the design of the 1971 Mustang. the Fastback version. (Wich remained pretty much the same until 1973) I just love that simple, straight line from the top of the windshield all the way to the end of the car. Sure, it was a “big 1970’s” car. But I… Continue reading 1971 Ford Mustang

Car weekend: Ford “Ecoboost Drive”
So I got invited to this “Ecoboost Event” thing a few weeks ago. I thought I would bring along a good friend of mine, and drive a few Fords for a day. It turned out to be quite an interesting experience…. As Ford is trying to educate people about their Turbo engines and how they… Continue reading Car weekend: Ford “Ecoboost Drive”

VW Polo Based SUV coming up
And why not. Why not have an SUV version of every single model you produce. This is an illustration of what a production version of the T-Roc concept could look like. And it would be based on the next generation Polo. Since we are scheduled to get the next Polo in the US, I would… Continue reading VW Polo Based SUV coming up

Fiat 500X
These pictures were taken at the assembly plant for the new Jeep Renegade (Which you can see in the BG in the lower pic) and the Fiat 500X. As both cars share the same structure. This is a picture that has been around for a while. Looks like it was taken at some dealer meeting.… Continue reading Fiat 500X

VW Golf Sportsvan
This is basically a larger Golf. The previous generation was sold in Europe as the Golf Plus. (Which we never got over here) So it is what the C-Max is to the Ford Focus. Except I do think this looks better than the C-Max. It is based on the new Golf and uses similar engines.… Continue reading VW Golf Sportsvan

RAM ProMaster City
We all knew it was coming. The US version of the compact Fiat Doblo van. It will compete with the Nissan NV and Ford Transit here in the US. The small Nissan is pretty bare. (You can’t even order side windows in the US.) While you can turn the new Transit into a true family… Continue reading RAM ProMaster City

2015/16 Chevrolet Sonic
Looks like the Sonic is getting a new face for next year. Nothing drastic. But quite a bit less original. The quad round headlights are gone. Now replaced by something we’ve already seen on the new Cruze (The “real” new one for China) So I guess that one is the slightly “new face of Chevrolet”.… Continue reading 2015/16 Chevrolet Sonic

2016 VW Jetta CC?
These are patent designs for the production version of the Midsize Coupe Concept we saw just a few days ago. So it does look like it is coming out really soon. Which means it is NOT the next Jetta. Since it just got some (minute) changes for the 2015 model year. So I guess this… Continue reading 2016 VW Jetta CC?

Something you don’t see every day…
The good old Pontiac Fiero from the mid eighties. (Before the “sporty’ GT model came out) I always thought they looked nice. And in modern traffic, it still looked good. But…. I almost never see any around anymore. Here is how they used to sell it. Like a sports car. But with a standard 2.5… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day…
