A few days ago, the teaser for this C Concept looked like it could be a preview of the next Honda Accord.Well… Lets hope not. The general profile could be fine, but the horrific front and rear ends should never make it to a production model.It looks very.. well.. Chinese.Which, I guess, is fine since… Continue reading Honda C Concept

This is, technically, the new “Sylphy” for the Chinese market.But it will become the Sentra for the US in just a few months. And it looks pretty much exactly like a cross between the new Altima and the Versa.So now all Nissan sedans look almost the same. In different sizes. The conservative, almost old fashion,… Continue reading 2013 Nissan Sentra

That came out earlier than I though.Just weeks after they showed us an all new Altima… And pretty much looking like a smaller version of the new Altima.Which would be a huge improvement over the current “never really looked that good” model. We will see a Chinese version of the car in a few days.

This time we get to see the whole thing.Again, just a Fiat version of the new Dodge Dart.But the chrome here and there makes it look a bit more upscale. It’s nice, but let’s home this doesn’t ever become the Chrysler 200…

As far as I know, these are the 1st official pictures of the interior. Again, this is not based on the Fiat 500. It is another car all together. Even though the front end is designed to remind people of the 500, and it is actually called “500”.These are just tricks to cash in on… Continue reading More pictures of the new Fiat 500L

This concept is a preview of the upcoming small sedan based on the new A and B class models.You can especially tell from the interior where the concept is very similar to the hatchback version. Except it seats only 4. I am sure things will be toned down a bit for the production version, especially… Continue reading Mercedes Concept Style Coupe

It will start at $15 995 for the basic SE model.(Plus destination).Which does include the cool LED tail lights you see on this picture. But not much more. Air is an option. And it goes all the way to $ 22 495 for the R/T model. In between there is the SXT for $17 995,… Continue reading Dodge Dart prices

This is the Fiat version of our Dodge Dart.So far this will be for the Chinese market. But just like the Dodge Journey/Fiat Freemont, it could very well end up in Europe as well.

This is also one of the nicest looking car in its class. At least on photos.Actually an improvement on the current one, unlike the new Malibu. Starting at $22 500, it is not the cheapest mid-sized sedan out there. But its 27/37MPG rating is quite excellent.A loaded SL, still with the 2.5 Liter, is about… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2013 Nissan Altima

This should be quite a nice looking car.And the interior could be best in class. Looking really modern as well as luxurious. (Although I do prefer brushed aluminum trim rather than the shiny chrome bits.) They still aren’t mentioning an engine yet, but the good old 3.5 Liter V6 seems a sure bet. This should… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2013 Toyota Avalon

These are actually pictures of the next Nissan Bluebird, which has been related to our Sentra in the past.Nissan might consolidate these two models into one for the next generation. So these pictures could give us some clues about our next Sentra.We can’t see much under all that camouflage. Still, at least from the proportions,… Continue reading 2013/14 Nissan Sentra?

The Beijing auto show will get 2 new Honda concepts.Not sure if these will be real concepts or the fake ones. Like the “Crosstour Concept” shown last week in New York, which is just a 2013 Crosstour… To me, the one pictured on the bottom could be the new Accord. Why not.Not sure what the… Continue reading Upcoming Honda Concepts

So far, the new 2012 3 series is not available as a diesel in the US.The previous one was, but BMW claimed the new 2.0 Liter Turbo is getting such good mileage, a diesel wouldn’t make much sense in the US anymore. I guess.But now, the new 3 series is rated at 33MPG on the… Continue reading BMW 3 series Diesel spotted in the US

Looking really modern for 2013.Now better suited to do battle with the LaCrosse and the new Azera. Pretty much the same recipe as before, in a much more attractive design. Which will probably work very well for Toyota.

Now available as a Hybrid, using the same powertrain as the 2012 Camry Hybrid. Looks like the all new Lincoln MKZ might be the most direct competition now.The Lincoln is more stylish, especially outside. But the ES has always been a great seller for Lexus, and this mix of the previous design and the larger… Continue reading 2013 Lexus ES
