300hp for the base 3.6 Liter V6 and 26MG Highway.26 MPG isn’t really great for a car. And 300hp is great, but its not really needed for a base car. Is it?

This illustration does look like the spy shots.Unfortunately… The current Fusion’s front end is the best part of the car. So changing it is a weird move.This looks like a cartoon face.

This was sent to me by a reader. And I hope it isn’t the real thing. What a let down it would be from the concept.Let’s hope this is just another “student project” from someone who just got to play with a 3D program over the summer.

GM will offer a new 1.4 Liter turbo in the all new Chevy Cruze. Allowing it to get almost 45MPG on the highway. This is pretty amazing news coming from a US company.The Coblat replacement will be much cheaper than any Hybrid on the market and offer almost similar gas mileage. At least on the… Continue reading 2010 Chevrolet Cruze

Just more picturs of the production version. And it looks about as good as can be, as close to the concept as anything can be. Too bad about the lame small sunroof that seems to start too far back to even be worth it.At least the convertible is on its way…

I think this is one of the best looking interior I have seen in a while.Especially considering the “low 20’s” starting price of the car. It is both futuristic and retro, with tons of personality.Again,I just can’t wait for this car.

I think this looks great.Even better than the sedan. Which is sometimes the case with these new wagons. like the Mazda 6 or the new Megane. Sure there is a huge blind spot. But I still can’t wait to see it. A truly original design for once.

The 3rd version of the Megane is due real soon.And, again, I think it would make a great Sentra replacement for the US. But who knows…

Looks like Kia is on a roll.After the Soul and Forte, they are getting serious about the mid size market as well.At first I thought this was the new Mazda6. Not bad. This looks a bit small to replace the horrendous looking Amati. But it might be the new Optima.

A reader sent me this.Not sure how real it is. You can tell the car is covered up. But it does match some of the recent illustrations we’ve seen a while ago. Who knows.We’ll see the real thing in January at the Detroit auto show.Expect better mileage, more room in a more substantial looking car.… Continue reading 2010 Prius

Just click on the title for more. But most of these news are still SUVs.Sure, they are car based and smaller than most of the current GM offerings. But still. I don’t think any of these will get you close to 25MPG in the city. The really bright spot might be the Cobalt replacement called… Continue reading Furure GM cars

More pictures of what could be a big hit for Kia in the US.I think this might be a breakthrough car for them over here.Roomy with a small engine. And it does look great. Better than any Scion. It’s just too bad about that small old fashion sunroof…

It seems that Toyota has decided not to replace the Lexus SC. I’ve always liked this car, but it looks like they’re now just selling fewer and fewer every year.That’s probably because the car is old news. I don’t see Mercedes having that much problems selling the SL. Or Jaguar selling the XK.Cars do need… Continue reading Lexus SC

Now with the new assy looking grille. Two versions will be offered. A regular FWD with 280hp. And the AWD with 310hp.I am not sure how sales are doing lately for Acura. But they are betting the farm on this new weird look.Good luck…

Just slight revisions in the front and back.Trying to make the sedan just a little bit more like the much better looking coupe.It still doesn’t look great, but at least the lights in the back don’t look as cheap and ugly as before…
