The latest rumor.Nissan might still be looking for a partner in the US. They were talking to Ford last year. Would Chrysler be a good match?Does that mean Chrysler badged Renaults in the US?World peace? What do you think?

It’ll start at $34 000 for the 5 speed manual base model.Compare this to $28 700 for the previous model. The top of the line MR model will go for $39 000. This one will have a dual clutch transmission I guess similar to the VW R32.Which costs “only” $33 000. All Evos have a… Continue reading Evo X prices

Even more pictures.I think this car is looking better and better.I just wonder if that many people in the US will go for a Hyundai at these prices. Even if it’s a ‘deal”.

Not sure if this is an illustration of the real thing.But the new one will be out in a few weeks I hear.

The production version of this is still supposed to become their entry level car. Whose mission will be to get younger people into the brand.I don’t see any cuts for the bumpers in this. And trick (expensive) door handles.So I think it might be towned down quite abit for production.Then again, maybe not…

Another cheezy 70’s show gets a new make over.And the new Kitt isn’t a Pontiac anymore. I wonder how much Ford paid for this…

Here it is. In a slightly blurry picture and with a bad color. Bad because we can’t see any details. But the car appears to be really close to the concept, as expected. But the white paint, black plastic door handle and rear view mirrors make it look cheaper than it probably does.we’ll see.

From the maker of the worst looking SUVs in the world comes this new high end sedan. They’ve always had one for the Korean market, but now it seems they are considering exporting it to Europe as well.They also claim this will compete with the A8 and BMW 7 series. Good luck…

They will show a slightly disguised “concept” version next month.Looks like another giant sunroof.

Ford offers a factory glass roof option on the Mustang.This is great! I love these. Not sure yet how much this is. But no matter what, this makes a cool car even more special.

Finally an official picture of the new Skoda version of the Passat.More pictures later.I am curious to see the rear end with its trick hatch/trunk opening.

Land Rover will show a “close to production” coupe SUV next month. Although it is already compared to the BMW X6, this one has only 2 doors. Just like a real coupe.And it seems that it might be a lot cheaper than the BMW. It could even be priced under the current LR2. Which would… Continue reading Land Rover coupe concept

GM will show the production version of the Volt next month.This is the 1st official teaser image of the production car.I am not sure why they keep teasing us with these cars so early (Like with the Camaro)But the Volt has the potential to be an amazing car. Thy are talking about 60 miles on… Continue reading Chevrolet Volt production model

Again, from a reader. Looks like the Japanese version is ready to ship. By the way, it looks like I’m going to the Detroit Auto Show next month. I will be reporting on this and much, much more.

Could be. The next version of the BLS is supposed to look much more aggressive than the current model.And it will also make it to the US. As a “smaller and cheaper than CTS” model. That’s good news.

A reader sent me these. Not sure where it was taken, but it’s the real thing.Nothing we haven’t said on this really. It’ll keep the fans of the current model happy.

Real? Fake??Don’t know and don’t really care. Seems that these giant pick-up trucks aren’t all the rage anymore. The market is shrinking back to what it should be: for people who actually need them. But if you do, the new Diesel is supposed to get 20MPG in the city.Actually pretty amazing for such a beast…

Thank you for these (obvious) results.I was still surprise to see Ugly Brad Pitt getting 20% of the votes. But I realize we live in an imperfect world where not everyone can be expected to have impeccable taste.

That would even be smaller than the upcoming V60.This one would be based on the C30/S40 platform. I didn’t know their XC was such a huge hit. Pushing them to build an SUV for each platform.Why not, I guess…
