Was this the “revival of the Microbus” concept we were waiting for? I hope not. It’s fine. But it is just a 5 door version of the Up Concept from a few weeks ago.It looks really modern, but if it takes them 2 or 3 years to get that thing into production, it’ll just look… Continue reading VW Space Up! concept

Again, this is supposed to show us a glimpse of the next RX.I don’t think so. The Next RX will be so watered down compare to this . The windows are way smaller and the proportions different than the prototypes they’ve been testing around.And that interior is pure concept art work. Another tease….

That’s what the Chinese press claims. The European importer, Martin Motors will be selling the car in Italy.They are afraid of the German market because the Chinese car maker is actually being sued by Mercedes.(!!!) So, in a weird/strange/stupid yet gutsy move, they’ve decided to start sales in Italy for 9000 Euros.A country where the… Continue reading Smart Chinese copy on sale in Europe????

Just looks like a compact wagon on this one…I guess it shouldn’t be too trucky for a Saab.This and the Cadillac version will be made in Mexico next year.

That could be the name they will use when the Veracruz goes on sale in Europe.They are thinking of selling around 5000 units a year. The main engine will be the 3.0 Liter V6 diesel with 240hp. Price should be around 45 000 Euros. That seems crazy until you compare it to the 65 000… Continue reading Hyundai iX 55

Funny way to find out about it….A dealer ad ahead of the SEMA launch… I guess it’s pretty much the same model many countries around the world have seen for the past year….

More agressive accessories are available in Japan for the new Fit.

Another Chinese car, another copy. This time they copy the Toyota Aygo.The top picture is still just an illustration, the car isn’t out yet. But the real news is the price. They have just announced it will be sold in China for 23000 Yuans. Which is about $3500! I am sure the car is not… Continue reading Byd F1

It’s been a few days…

This illustration from Auto Express shows what an all new modern version of the VW bus could look like. Unlike the Microbus concept from 2001, this would be smaller and affordable.The Microbus turned out to be too expensive to produce.This one would be based on a smaller existing platform. Part of the rumor also claims… Continue reading VW Bulli???

I bet you almost forgot about this one….

Let’s hope Honda will bring the navigation and that amazing glass roof to the US…

This is the cheaper panel van version of the new Kangoo.And I still think there would be a market in the US for this type of small vans.Why can the pool guy drive this instead of a full size pick up truck that gets about 11mpg… This is supposed to be getting about 40mpg in… Continue reading Renault Kangoo Express

The Coupe version of the CTS is supposed to start production in 2009.Which would make it a 2010 model, I guess. I am not sure if they are still planing a convertible version, but a wagon will come out the same year.That might be a good way to bring the new V6 diesel (already available… Continue reading Cadillac CTS Coupe

Weird looking? Sure…Hard to clean? Probably…. But it looks fantastic and I’m sure it feels great to drive. This would have been a really cool option on our Saturn version of the Astra.Something that stands out from the competition.
