Hyundai Genesis

This time it is finally official.More soon…

One of the best films ever made

Teenage Mother (1967) trailer At least best film from 1967, that’s for sure….

I drove the Camry XLE last year when it came out.But I had the opportunity to drive the popular LE recently at the same time I was driving the new Malibu.The Camry doesn’t have a striking shape and they are so many out there that it is pretty much invisible in the streets.But it does… Continue reading Toyota Camry LE test drive

Saab 9-1

Saab is rumored to be showing a small car concept sometime next year.A production version will follow a few months later.The car will be based on the Opel Astra platform. It could be really nice…

Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in.

They are making them! But only about 20 or so for testing in Southern California.Which means by the time this is ready for production, there might be another Escape. Or no more Escape at all. Plug-ins will be great. The GM Volt is rumored to be able to travel 60 miles on electric charge alone.… Continue reading Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in.

Genesis power

Hyundai has announced the 4.6 Liter V8 option in their large sedan will produce 375hp.No official word on the V6 power.But Hyundai people at the Auto Show told me the coupe will get 300hp out of the same V6.

Forester interior

It seems they followed the them from the new Impreza instead of the truly modern Tribeca interior.That’s really too bad.But maybe, just like the Impreza, it looks better “in the flesh”. Photos sent to me by a reader.

Interesting European paint job

From the Essen tuner show.

Next Buick Lacrosse

Just like the Camaro, it will start production in February 2009.It might also be a bit shorter than the current model. Click on the title to see and read more.

Another Forester picture

From a blurry brochure…. We’ll see the official stuff very soon.

Camaro production dates

February 16th 2009 for the coupe.December 7th 2009 for the convertible. That’s a long time to wait, especially for the convertible.How will they keep people exited about the car for so long before it goes on sale???

Mazda6 sedan

The only one we’ll get.Our US version should be pretty much like this. This is already so much better looking than the new Accord. I hope it turns out to be a hit for Mazda.

Mazda6

I forgot how good looking this car was. But before you drool, remember we’ll only get the sedan.Not hatchback and no wagon for the US….

A3 Convertible already in production.

That was quick! They just announced the car a few days ago.

Chubby Nerd drives the new Smart

I must say. He is a “lucky bastard”.And looking cooler and cooler with sunglasses. (Although still very far bellow the coolness of the Burlapp) I sat in a few Smarts at the Auto Show and I was pretty disappointed. Everything felt pretty cheap to me. Plasticky doors, pretty crude finish. And no iPod plugs.A big… Continue reading Chubby Nerd drives the new Smart

2009 Subaru Forester

This will turn out pretty nice I’m sure.I am really curious to see the interior.

VW R32 Test Drive

As you probably know by now, this kind of overpowered compact car isn’t really my cup of tea. But i could refuse the opportunity to drive the new R32.I wasn’t expecting that much. I never really liked the Jetta I test drove a couple of times before. Where I found the interior well made but… Continue reading VW R32 Test Drive
