At the London Auto show???

Just like in real life… This was done at about 40mph.The new Fiat 500 is crushed by the big and heavy Audi Q7. Sad to see.

Ford has confirmed today that production of the Expedition/Navigator beasts will move away from the Louisville plant (To Kentucky), allowing Louisville to produce small Euro Fords for the US.But that production won’t start until 2011.Which means… This what they told us a while ago when they said the next generation Focus will be the same… Continue reading More “Euro Fords in the US” news.

Another crazy claim from a Chinese manufacturer. With no dealers ,yet, in this country, they are still claiming they will be selling us their FC-2 model in 2009. As well as in Europe.Sure. They also mention a $14 500 price. Which would also destroy them over here. There are so many choices for that price.… Continue reading Geely in the US by 2009???

The Chinese press reports the new car is about the size of a Camry. They also claim the new model will be built in VW’s… Continue reading All new US Passat replacement in 2011?

Still looks great to me.That will be a major threat to Scion when it reaches the US next April.

I don’t know. To me, this is still trying way too hard to be different. But in a cheap way. Basically using weird details in what is mostly a pretty boring shape. Maybe it does look better in real life. Remember a couple of months ago when we heard about this car from a dealer… Continue reading All new Acura TL pictures

But I must say that, after driving it, I was wondering who wide the market was for such… Continue reading Flex not so popular

No matter… Continue reading Next Mazda3

These are just pictures I took from a window.I love seeing cars I’m not used to seeing in the US.Peugeots are really good looking in person.This is one of the best looking small cars out there.A bit odd. But still… The 500 looks just great. I’m just hoping there is a way for Fiat to… Continue reading Different shapes form the other side of the world..

Doesn’t look that crazy.Almost looks to me like a production car. Not sure about the powertrain yet.But a small Hybrid convertible sure would be cool
