I know it looks good, but this is still just an illustration. Audi will be back in the small car market (After the A2 a few years ago) with some competition for the Mini, Alfa MiTo, Fiat 500 and other fancy tiny European hatchbacks.Not sure if they will try it over here. But they might.… Continue reading Audi A1

It’s official.Porsche now owns over 35% of VW, which under German law,gives it control of the company. What does this mean for VW?Porsche cars have been much more reliable than VWs in the past few years. But they also make far fewer cars. Porsche will be making an offer to control Audi as well. Is… Continue reading Porsche controls VW

Well… That black roof doesn’t look like a glass roof does it… It just looks like a black roof. Painted..At least on this pre-production model. Actual production is actually a bit over 2 years away. That’s amazing!I can’t remember any manufacturer showing off a production car 2 years before it comes out…

Another one.Another Saab concept.What Saab needs is new cars, not more concepts. This is , again, supposed to give us an idea of what the all new small 9-1 might look like.I don’t think so. This looks way too much like a concept car.We’re lucky if the front end is 50% close to production… How… Continue reading Saab 9X Air concept

Finally. The car without the suits in front of it.And the interior too.(Which almost looks like Apple was at the design meetings). It looks really nice so far. Even in that not so cool color.For most people, this will look more like a real car than the Prius. But the big question is the price.And… Continue reading 2011 Production Volt

Well, it’s pretty much what it is.. A prologue to a production model. the upcoming Peugeot 3008 (or whatever they decide to call it, will be very close to this. And will finally give Peugeot something to fight against the very popular Renault Megane Scenic. And it’s not an SUV. Like the one they have… Continue reading Peugeot Prologue Concept

Not really sure what that was for. I guess 9/11 maybe. But it looked great…

So far just a teaser. All I can say is: It does look like a Porsche….

At least… Unfortunately, this is just an illustration. Not a new “fast lane only” freeway… From the Dutch architect firm NL.

It was just a matter of time. The Convertible Audi A3 will get an S3 version soon.As these pictures from a German underground parking lot show us. And just like the other A3 versions, it looks great.Just look at these seats. That’s pretty amazing.The S3 is powered by a 265hp version of the 2.0 Liter… Continue reading Audi S3 Cabriolet

I like it. The next CLK should be a really nice car if it turns out close to this. Even without the hatchback.mercedes needs to start designing cars that look more upscale.I really like the current S Class. And the C class actually does have a pretty upscale look to it.But most of their other… Continue reading Mercedes Benz Fascination Concept Video

So far so good. I did drive the Malibu before in Memphis, so it feels pretty familiar.The new 6 speed auto is great. And smooth. Maybe not as super smooth as the VW 6 speed auto, but still very nice. Just a few notes:-The steering feel seems different than the 2.4 L Aura I was… Continue reading Chevrolet Malibu drive, to Malibu…

The more I see pictures of it the more I think this could really hurt the Corolla and Civic crowd.It looks really nice. I’m not sure how much cheaper it’ll be than the others. But I think the new Soul will improve Kia’s image a lot.And it might actually help the Forte. We’ll see…

Not sure if this is real or not. But I wouldn’t really consider this a true convertible. The giant folding cloth top is more like what they have in the Citroen Pluriel, or some old European models from the 60’s.But again, that just looks like an illustration to me…
