Well.. Burbank actually. I wonder what it’ll look with new paint…

The redesigned 2008 Focus is the new car people love to hate. And that kind of includes me. On pictures, I thought it was a big let down. And when I sat inside one, I really didn’t care for the interior. That flat fake plastic aluminum dash just doesn’t work for me.But… Once in my… Continue reading 2008 Ford Focus test drive.

I hear it would start at $22 500. Most of the press was predicting around $24 000. That is a pretty good price. Considering the CRV starts at just $1000 less. We’ll see if that becomes official.

The production model.Of course, this is not for us. Unless maybe the VW Tiguan turns out to be such a hit over here. Then Ford could maybe find a way to import this over to the US.. (What am I thinking…) I liked the Tiguan at the L.A Show, but I must say this looks… Continue reading Ford Kuga

It’s not secret Volvo is considering a 5 door version of the small C30. But I am not sure if this is an illustration or not. It does look great. and pretty realistic to me.

Keep in mind this is still the model for the Korean market. Where even the current Sonata has more chrome than the one sold over here…

At first it looks like a 2 door wagon, but it actually has 4 doors.This could look really cool. What the Chevy Nomad could have been like. Let’s hope that, unlike the Chevy concept, this has a chance to be produced. We’ll know, and see, more at the Detroit show…

I am now driving the new Focus.So if you have any questions about it, go ahead… 1st take: I was ready to hate it. But I don’t….

Is that all new?I can’t really tell if this is just a facelift or an all new design. Click on the title for more.

This will look pretty nice.Kind of BMW like without the ugly second bump on the dash. We’ll see….

To me, that’s what the new Sequoia and Corolla are.. Just wrong. The Sequoia is just a bloated mess and the Corolla is invisible.it’s OK to be “conservative” but it’s not OK to look like the one from 1986… I really hope these 2 don’t sell well. Some people need to be taught a lesson.

The big Hyundai could turn out to be quite a nice car.This could make it pretty hard for the Lincoln MKS in the US.Both cars don’t have a good image as far as brand names go, and they might appeal to a similar segment of the market. Knowing the Genesis might start at $7000 less… Continue reading Another Genesis picture

Seems that this is a 4 door version of the Verve concept, shown in China.It might still be pretty close to our US Fiesta.

Not really sure.This still looks like a concept. Like the one we’ll see in Detroit.And I can’t really tell if this is a hatch or a sedan either. I hear the US (and China) might only get a sedan version of the next Fiesta. While Europe gets the usual 3 and 5 door hatch.So this… Continue reading Next Ford Fiesta?

I know this isn’t news anymore. But the Auto Show was the 1st time I got to seat in the new Focus.And let me tell you, the interior looks as bad as in the pictures. It is a never ending sea of hard and cheap looking plastics almost everywhere. Except on the top of the… Continue reading Inside the new US Focus

I got the chance to seat in the upcoming Ford Flex last week at the Auto Show. I think it is a very nice and original looking wagon. It just looks like a giant Mini Cooper to me.And the interior is super roomy.But I was expecting a bit more inside. I don’t know what. It… Continue reading Inside the Ford Flex

Just for the Chinese market for now.But unlike almost everyone else, Mazda didn’t ruin the cool “2” by adding a trunk.This is a really nice looking small sedan. I think this could make a cool model for the US where it could compete very nicely with the Yaris sedan.
