Amazing how many pictures of this car are floating around. Ahead of the official release. It seems very nice and elegant. Nothing original, but nothing wrong really.I wonder if US buyers will spend $29 000 to $35 000 for a Hyundai when the $26 000 Azera is already such an unusual sight on our roads…

This is supposed to be coming out next spring from LSE Design UK. They will be making only 100 units priced at around $200 000 (!!!) each.For that amount of cash, they’ll even throw in over 500hp. Not for me.

I guess they must be driving these without any camouflage around Korea. Or something… One day we might even get to see the whole car.

I kind of liked the weird design of the concept they showed a couple of years ago. Sure it was weird and cartoony, but at least it wasn’t a copy of anything else.And it’s cool to see the production model will actually turn out as weird as the concept.But wait… Look at the built quality… Continue reading Chery S16

In Europe, of course… Here are the results of the contest: -Fiat 500 : 385 points-Mazda2 : 325 points-Ford Mondeo : 202 points-Kia Cee’d : 166 points-Nissan Qashqai : 147 points-Mercedes C-Klasse : 128 points-Peugeot 308 : 97 points

I was pretty disapointed about this one when I finally saw it. There are just way too many lines on it. The design is much too complicated. There is just no purity to it. And that “side wavy line”. When did this start looking good?Most people hated it on the Solara, now it seems everyone… Continue reading Infiniti EX

naked in the streets.A little bit of everything here. But what’s new.Quite a bit different from last year’s concept too.

Not really sure what to say.I guess it isn’t 100% ugly, but it’s not that far… It looks bloated and quite unattractive. And it is also entering a shrinking market.

In person it looks OK. Like many mentioned, the front is quite striking. But the rest of the car doesn’t look very strong.Kind of like the Fusion… The interior is nice but not great either. Some plastics feel a bit cheap, especially on the console. The steering wheel doesn’t look or feel expensive.The new Murano… Continue reading Lincoln MKS. L.A Auto Show

We’ve seen the real thing a few days ago all over the internet, so no surprises here.it does look quite big in person. The big news:No V8! Instead a 2.0 Liter Turbo with over 200hp to start. And a 300hp V6 on top… Comes out for the New York Auto Show and on sale early… Continue reading Hyundai Genesis Coupe concept L.A Auto Show

I must say the XF does look a bit better in person. The grill eitself is just quite impressive. And the interior is really a good blend of classy and very modern.Although a few details like the door window switches just look a bit plasticky. I hear this will be around $50 000. That is… Continue reading Jaguar XF L.A Auto Show

The new Tiguan is in L.A. It does look pretty nice. Rather boxy after seeing the new Murano. And almost old looking.But it does give a German alternative to the RAV4. The interior is much better than the dreadful Jetta. Although everything is still a bit square. The back seat is pretty roomy. the quality… Continue reading VW Tiguan L.A Auto Show

I must say the new Murano looks very impressive in person.Not as original as the 1st one. But much more upscale. which might not actually be for everyone.Inside, it now feels and looks like a full on luxury car. It is still modern but the focus is now on luxury. The front is pretty busy,… Continue reading 2009 Nissan Murano L.A Auto Show
