I wasn’t sure they could make the US Accord weirder looking but they did.So it can be done. The rear view on this Japan only model looks even worse than the US model. Quite an accomplishment. But I must say, the dark wood makes the interior look much more upscale than what we have over… Continue reading Honda Inspire

The Chinese press is reporting that Dodge will sell “very soon” the Chinese made Chery A1 mini car in Mexico under its own name. The A1 looks like one of these really scary/unsafe tiny Chinese cars. So I guess Chrysler is trying it in Mexico where they don’t have so many safety regulations. Nice… If… Continue reading Chery/Dodge in Mexico

Looks like Nissan is ready to try something different with the Minivan idea.I still like the current Quest, but I guess most minivan buyers don’t. At least they don’t go back to the drawing board to come up with something lame for the masses. Like the new Chrysler/Dodge vans.I just wonder if that is actually… Continue reading Nissan Forum concept

Still nothing official.

This was shown a few weeks ago at the Kuwait auto show. I thought it was just one of these local rebadged GM cars.But now it seems we might get this in the US. At the same time when Pontiac will stop selling the Torrent.It makes sense to concentrate the Pontiac brand on cars, and… Continue reading GMC Terrain

That is one ugly SUV. To me, this looks pretty much like a 1980’s Russian truck.Maybe that’s what they’re going for…. Click on the title for the picture.

This gives us an idea of what the production version of the Laguna Coupe could look like.That would be fantastic.The sedan is OK, but this is pretty amazing. And much, much better looking than the Altima Coupe on which it is loosely based.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the best looking BMW around. But it won’t be cheap. Even though no price has been announced yet, so far the only version is the “X6 xDrive50i”.Powered by a new 4.4 Liter V8 with 2 turbos and 407hp! Sounds like plenty of mulah to me….

This is not what Europe will get later.This model is specific to the Brazilian market.Thank God… This is one lame looking hatch.

Another picture of the Japanese market version.The one with the goofy rear view mirrors on the front fender….

This is what the Chinese market version of the Elantra will look like.I just wonder if other countries will get this as well.It is much better than what we have now. Then again, it’s not really a tough one to improve.The elantra has got to be, in my opinion, one of the worse looking car… Continue reading New Elantra front end?

Just another illustration. But I really hope the next 5 just doesn’t look like a 4 door version of the 3 series coupe…

Don’t worry, we won’t get this.Looks like an Indian market model.But we ar still scheduled to get the next generation Swift in the US.Hopefully the hatchback only. This is the current Swift hatch sold in many countries. You can tell how the ugly trunk ruins the whole design.

This looks like a great looking car.CC usually means a hardtop convertible, which it isn’t in this case. Just one of these large fake coupe sedan.I also wonder if it is some sort of a hatchback. Or a hatch/trunk hybrid like the new Skoda . We’ll see. Click on the title for more.

“Special” 18inch wheels, “special” spoiler, “special” 2 tone leather, “special” anniversary logo on the headrests, “special” flloormats, ‘special” doorsill plates, etc…. Lots of “specials” for a not so special car.I wonder if this is really worth it. actually, I don’t really. I know it’s not worth it.The Impala is a nice car and these “specials”… Continue reading 50th Anniversary Impala

This looks like a nice evolution of the current design.But Mazda claims the next 3 will look all new. And its design will influence every other Mazdas coming after.This looks like the opposite. A design influenced by all current models.

maybe.Another illustration from Autocar.
