Very much in line with other recent Renault models, like the Laguna. This is really nice. Look how they incorporated the wood trim.It almost doesn’t look like wood. Really nice looking. Compare this to what we get over here in the compact segment.I like the Astra but the interior is getting old. Nothing like this.The… Continue reading New Renault Megane interior

Hyundai will finally replace the old Mitsubishi based Equus. The new car is a larger version of the new Genesis sedan.So far they won’t be selling it in Europe or the US.And I don’t think they should. No matter how good they think the car is, no one in these countries would trade an S… Continue reading Hyundai i70/Equus

Another one of these concepts that looks pretty much like the upcoming production model. This will also be shown at the Paris Auto Show. It is based on the new Chevrolet Cruze and has 3 rows of seats.It will compete in europe with the Ford C-Max. But also with the Opel Zafira. I really do… Continue reading Chevrolet Orlando Concept

Not yet. We’ll have to wait for the Paris show for the real thing. Meanwhile we get to see this version from Castagna. And it’s not only a convertible, it is an electric car too. Able to reach about 80mph and has a range of about 85 miles on a 4 hour charge.Not bad for… Continue reading Fiat 500 Convertible?

With boring suits blocking the view… But still, we can pretty much see what the car will look like. The only thing I don’t like it the quite boring color.And we’ll have to wait a bit longer for real interior shots. I think this car looks great, although the front end could have been a… Continue reading Production Volt pictures

I think this car will actually do pretty well.I thought at first it was a strange idea to offer “just” a 2.0 Liter Turbo in a top of the line car (As well as the V6).But I think now it’s a genius idea.This will be much cheaper than the Infiniti coupe and gas mileage will… Continue reading Hyundai Genesis Coupe video

VW claims it’ll be able to get 74.3 MPG (That’s about 62MPG US) when it goes on sale in Europe in the second half of 2009. That’s pretty amazing and would actually be better than the current Prius. Without an electric engine.We’ll see if VW decides to sell this version over here. That would be… Continue reading VW Golf Bluemotion Diesel concept

GM has released these teaser pictures of their next Astra.Not much to see yet, we’ll know more in a few months. It’s too bad the Astra isn’t selling in the US. So fat they’ve sold only less than half the amount they had planned.How about some advertising??? No one I talk to knows about the… Continue reading Next Opel Astra teasers

This will be at the upcoming Paris auto show.It seats 3 people only and is a pure electric car. Looks like a few manufacturers are revisiting the idea of the electric car. So GM didn’t really kill it after all. Even though I’m all for it. We should also be aware of the problems it… Continue reading Nissan new Electric car concept

Another pretty nice looking car from China. They also will offer a hatch version. Not sure what their plans are now. We were supposed to get Chery cars through Malcolm Bricklin’s company by now…It will be interesting to see who will be the first Chinese company to sell cars in the US.After teasing us for… Continue reading Chery A3

This is just an illustration from europe.But I think it looks great. Renault always ends up with a sedan version of its Megane. I think everyone would be happy if it turns out half as good as this one.And,again… Wouldn’t this make a great Nissan Sentra????They do sell Renaults in Mexico. So they can’t be… Continue reading Renault Megane sedan

Not sure exactly when this comes out, but it looks like we won’t have to wait much longer to see the Scion’s first real competition.The Nissan Cube being next. The more I see this car the more I like it. It is actually a pretty original design of the cubic motif. to me this looks… Continue reading More Kia Soul pictures

Chrysler is now saying they will merge the Jeep Liberty and the Dodge Nitro into one car. That can only mean one thing: no more Nitro. Chrysler is really trying to separate their brand images. That would mean Chrysler would sell car while Jeep would sell.. Well..Jeeps, I guess. Even if the next Grand Cherokee… Continue reading Dead Nitro

The big sunroof, that’s great!I don’t think Ford will want to sell us anything smaller than the Fiesta over here. But if they do, the smaller Ka looks ready… They will be selling us the new Fiesta next year, and the redesigned Focus 3 the year after. Depending on how much gas will cost in… Continue reading More new Ford Ka picture
