I’ll report on how smooth it is. Refined or not. And it it’s ready for big sedan… Continue reading How good is GM’s 2.0 Liter turbo?

Not for us.This is basically the sedan version of the new Brazilian VW Gol. We are still supposed to get a version of the next Polo in the US….

When Ford claims they want to build the European C-max in the US, they are actually talking about the next version. Same with the Euro Focus.These cars won’t appear before 2010.Here is an illustration of what the next C-Max might look like.In my opinion, anything will be an improvement over the current model. I really… Continue reading Next Ford C-Max

Based on the same platform as the Fiat 500. It looks nice and modern, but, like the new Twingo, not nearly as original as the previous model.These small cars are actually getting more conservative with each redesign… There might still be a chance to see this here. Some day….

Not really.This is just a student project. But the idea of using Datsun as an extra brand to compete with Scion has been out there for a while.

Coming out in about a year.About the size of a CRV with a 1.8 or 2.0 liter engine. 2.2 Liter diesel will also be available. So if Chinese Geey finally decides to sell cars in Europe or the US, we might even see it for real…

We’ve all seen the Convertible from Saab. And the Euro Diesel model just looks the same. The engine I had was a smallish 1.9 Liter but with 180hp. It was more than enough for the car. It felt quick at pretty much all speed.And even smooth, past 30mph. And silent at freeway cruising.Like I said… Continue reading Diesel Saab Convertible test drive

Is Mercedes really thinking about a CLS type 4 door coupe based on the new C Class??? Why not? But the real question is: why? Is the Passat CC such a threat?
