Maybe, who knows. These illustrations from Auto Express look great. If the next Italian Focus/Golf competitor could look like that, it would be quite amazing.And with Alfa coming back to the US (whenever that is), we might even see it over here.We do need more fuel efficient upscale small cars.

This is the most relaxed, or the craziest driver I’ve ever seen.On a motorcycle!

Is this really the beginning of the end? They have new decided to stop work on their new line of V6 engines. Last week they also canceled their new 6 speed automatic transmission. A 6 speed auto and a modern V6 are two things GM already has. Which feeds even more the rumors of a… Continue reading More bad news for Chrysler…

This is just an illustration, and I hope the real thing looks better.It is rumored to be getting a small 1.6 Liter engine with a Turbo.Power could be as high as 250hp. Which would be more than enough. It will compete with another small RWD Coupe from Toyota/Subaru.Good times ahead…

Not know why yet.But some big GM suits were at the Chinese factory a few weeks ago, and now the car will be 2 months late. It will come out in December instead of this month. Also, it seems GM won’t be offering a V6 in this Chinese version of the Insignia. Instead, relying on… Continue reading Chinese Buick Regal delayed

Pretty cheesy… But remember, soon to be Scion in the US.

Could be.It does have a bit of camouflage on it. What do you think???

Just wanted to let you know I am currently driving the Hybrid version of the new Vue.So go ahead, send in any questions you might have. I will be driving the Altima Hybrid in a few weeks as well. Just to see if all the cars are really worth the premium in every day life.

-HOW DOES IT LOOK? We’ve all seen millions of them by now.But it is still a pretty distinctive design. Especially compared to the foreign competition. An American car that isn’t afraid of looking like one.Either that, or a caricature of what the former German owners of Chrysler thought an American car should look like.Either way,… Continue reading Chrysler 300 2.7 Liter drive

Motor Trend and Edmunds were allowed to spend some time with the new Z.Still wearing quite a bit of camouflage.We’ll all see the real thing next month. I am currently driving the 2008 Model for review.So I’ll keep everyone posted on that.

Showing that in the electric transformation, it has apparently lost its rear seats…Too bad. A more practical Hybrid Mini is on its way as well…

Don’t know much about it yet. But it uses lithium ion batteries. The top speed is about 95 mph. And you can drive 125 Miles on a charge. That sounds great for city driving. But there is a catch. This is pretty much a test run of only 500 cars. Available only in California, New… Continue reading Electric Mini Cooper

Crazy, weird and sad rumors about the possible breakup of Chrysler within a few weeks: -Merger with GM still moving ahead.-Renault would be interesting in acquiring Jeep.-GM interested in Chrysler’s Mexico factories. What does that mean for the other brands, Chrysler and Dodge.Chrysler would compete with Buick. And Dodge would be in the way of… Continue reading Chrysler breaking up?

The Japanese version that is. Not the big bloated one we get over here.With expensive gas, (And don’t fool yourselves, gas always goes down before elections, and back up after) I think there would be a market for smaller Minivans like this one. You can still carry 7 people. And the new Honda uses the… Continue reading All new Honda Odyssey

A Chinese car that tries to look like a Panda. Funny and weird. Without that front end, it just looks like a copy of many small European models put together…
