I am glad to hear VW hasn’t given up on the New Beetle. That there will be another one. (Unlike the PT Cruiser)But I hope it looks better than these illustrations. The new Beetle still looks great. This just looks like a bulldog version of the current car. I like the idea of the soft… Continue reading 2010 VW New Beetle

Same changes as the hatchback model. New front, new interior and revised rear end. We don’t even get a wagon anymore in the US…

The new coupe looks really good. I guess they do see the Mustang as the main target.

Not sure what they’ll end up calling it. But we can finally see what it looks like. And I think it looks really good.Except for that tiny. almost useless sunroof ala Infiniti/Nissan. Based on the RWD Genesis sedan, the coupe will also use V6 and V8 engines. This should be quite a competition for the… Continue reading Hyundai Genesis Coupe/Tiburon

In black.This is the Korean model. We won’t get the wood steering wheel.

This gives us an idea of what a Crossover based on the Bravo could look like. And it would look great. But it’s hard to mess up anything based on the gorgeous Bravo…

Like it or not, we’ll see quite a few of these in just a few years.

You be the judge…

It sure feels great to see a dark green Mustang in the streets of San Francisco. But they do it every time. The Bullitt limited edition always seems to be coming out right before a redesign.The Mustang is due for some pretty major changes next year. So for $31,075 you get 315 hp, and the… Continue reading 2008 Mustang Bullitt

The Croma has a new front end. It now looks more like the new Bravo, which is great. This is one good looking “facelift” we’ll never see over here…. Here is the previous one. With the “old” front.

Once again, a Matrix clone.There isn’t much the designers were alowed to make it better than the new Matrix… So it looks like a squared off version of the Toyota. Not really better.It has an old look to it.I do like the steering wheel. I wonder if this will end up in future Pontiacs…

Say goodbye to the Mesa. The new Kia SUV is named the Borrego after all.It has body on fram construction, V6 and V8 available. And it doesn’t look nearly as good as the concept they teased us with a couple of years ago. What else is new…

Just a couple more pictures. The interior looks great. But how could they have gotten the exterior so wrong. This now looks like a wannabe luxury car from 10 years ago. Gone is the clean, crisp, almost German look.

Maybe the 1rs real competition to the Scion brand.(The Element seems to be for an older audience) It’s been toned down quite a bit from the concept, but it might still be interesting. And Kia’s image still fits better smaller and cheaper cars.
