Sorry, no cheezy music. And no interesting shots either. Just the car driving around.But it does look really good. Let’s hope this will be a hit for Ford in the US.

It’s just way too overdone.Everywhere. Inside and out. A generic shape covered by weird details and overly sculpted surfaces everywhere you look. Pretty vulgar looking if you ask me.

With the hood open.Looks like it was caught in a factory or something… It does look much better than the current model, but is it enough really?The Malibu is a hit, but it is much cheaper.I’m not sure Buick has the image to go against Lexus. And that’s what GM has been mentioning. More pictures… Continue reading 2010 Buick Lacrosse

That front end is still disturbing to me.

Just some new pictures of the “non S” version, without all the crap like spoilers and skirts around.A much better and cleaner look.Already popular in Canada and Europe. It might be quite a hit for Toyota in the US.

As I mentioned before, my new Beetle test drive was cut short by some bi@&%#&@atch who ran into me. To be continued later…

I hear this might be the new Buick “sedan”. Whatever they decide to call it, Invicta or La Crosse.But this doesn’t really look like the Invicta production shot we saw a few weeks ago. At least the rear side windows seem very different.Could it be a larger Buck sedan?Something else?Anything? Any idea???

I would think this is for the Detroit auto show. I guess it’s now too late to hope for a retro Corvette. Looks like the next generation will try to go “modern”…

Honda seems to have plans to sell us the next version over here.They are actually thinking about importing a bunch of cars here that they were previously only selling in Japan.Through both Honda and Acura. Which JDM Honda would you like to see in the US???

The next GTI based on the recently introduced Golf will get more power from the 2.0 Liter turbo.They are talking about 211hp.But the fantastic R32 will be replaced by a GTI-R. With an even more powerful version of the 2.0 Liter engine.Similar to the one used in the Audi TT with 265hp. I guess those… Continue reading 2010 GTI Info

It’ll start at $13, 305. And that includes the 5 speed auto. So a manual should be even cheaper. (If you can find one..)The horrible looking S model, with all the added spoilers and side skirts will go for $15 125. Also with an automaticMPG should be 29/35 City/Hwy.Which is good but not amazing. I… Continue reading 2009 Yaris 5 door prices

With better details.Showing, once again, how good VW is at designing interiors that really look upscale. Not really original or very modern, but upscale looking.

Not sure if this is a commercial or what.Not even sure who can actually get one. But I’m sure at $600 a month including insurance, the waiting list is pretty long…

It seems to look a bit better on this picture.Funny how a year ago at the L.A auto show, most people thought this car would come with a choice of a V6 and a V8. Just like the sedan.But now that we know there will be no V8, the 2.0 4 Turbo actually seems the… Continue reading Hyundai Genesis coupe interior

Small changes here and there.The most obvious seems to be the outside spare tire delete on the top of the line V6.Other models keep it. Not sure why…Base engine is now a 2.5 Liter with 179hp.More than enough. It also get slightly better gas mileage. And I guess, you can now get navigation in some… Continue reading 2009 Toyota RAV4 (US)
