First, the Exeo sedan and wagon. A large car for Seat, based on the Audi A4 platform. The only thing is, it doesn’t really look like a Seat. A bit boring.But still. That could make a decent Passat replacement for the US. We are still supposed to get a US built model after the current… Continue reading Two new Seats coming up

I am driving a V6 Rondo for a few days.So go ahead if you have any questions. So far…. It drives surprisingly well. Feels very solid and quiet.And plenty of smooth power. But… It is to me one of the most unattractive ride out there. The interior is a sea of cheap looking shades of… Continue reading Kia Rondo test drive coming up

Looking really good.Let’s hope Honda gets smart and brings this over here. It’s about the size of the Civic from just a few years ago anyway.The Fit is a big hit for them in the US (The new 2009 one will come out a whole month early) and I think this could be even more… Continue reading Honda City

There have been rumors for years about a new European Ford Capri.Now that the new Scirocco is out, it looks like the CApri might actually happen. In a similar, almost wagon like, form. And now that Ford US is scheduled to sell yus their European models, this could actually make it over here.I still think… Continue reading Ford Capri???

And still looking great. Not sure who would pick a US Focus over this…

Looks familiar? It is our Chevy Aveo. Available in Australia as a 3 door as well.I think the smaller grille works better on this tiny car. But I guess Chevy now wants the Malibu mouth on everything they make…

Here is a pretty good look at the interior.It’s nice. But all these cars have a pretty “nice” interior. Nothing special that stands out or anything…

These are the 1st official pictures of the car that will replace the Cobalt in the US.As you can see, these are of the European version. Which will be replacing the Deawoo based Nubira over there.As part of a new (And smart) trend, we are now getting the same models as in Europe from US… Continue reading Chevrolet Cruze

I guess this is the new version of what they used to sell here as the Montero Sport, a few years ago.But we won’t get this one in the US.Mitsubishi has enough slow selling SUVs here. They don’t need another failure. In Europe this will be available with a 2.5 Liter and 3.2 Liter Diesel.… Continue reading Mitsubishi Pajero Sport

Including the cheesiest writing and worse dubbing I’ve seen in years. But the car seems really decent.I wonder why this is even in English.

Coming up soon at the Paris Auto Show. (I wish I could go…) Not much is known, but it looks like a 4 door “coupe”. And it has 313hp! I wonder if that will become the new “face” of future production Peugeot models. Or the shape of their new top of the line sedan…

The Saveiro has been on sale for many years in Brazil.This next version will be based on the new Gol. That’s the one that was in the background of that Gol based sedan picture I posted a few days ago.

Not bad at all. The only thing missing is the super cool extra large glass roof available in Japan…. Why can’t we have that as an option at least???

I must say I don’t think the new front end works with the rest of the car. They did redesign the sedan much more than this.This one also deserved a new body. What is still impressive after a few days is the interior design and quality.Everything feels solid and well put together. Even if it… Continue reading More pictures of my 2009 Aveo drive
