This illustration shows the convertible version, with a folding hardtop.Maybe, maybe not. Who knows… They are also talking about a V8 version.

Euro version on top…. Again, price isn’t the perfect excuse. The Euro Focus is sold in Mexico…

Is it me or does it look like the new US Focus doesn’t even have headrests in the rear???Isn’t it mendatory anymore??? This pic is from their website by the way…

Yes, everybody gets the new Ford Mondeo.Everybody but us that is… The Chinese version has some new trims, and most of all, a longer wheelbase. That seems pretty popular over there. Where the Cadillac STS is also sold with a longer wheelbase than the US model.(The Chinese STS also has a much better interior, much… Continue reading Chinese Ford Mondeo

Just a quick reminder of what we don’t get…

They were testing some prototypes a few months ago. But it looks like the same thing to me. I guess the only change inside might be the console. And the trim looks more like wood than before. Too bad.I kind of liked that “turtoise shell” finish they had. This was presented in frankfurt, so it… Continue reading Revised Chrysler 300?

The sedan starts at $ 13 775 and the coupe at $14 660.The SES sedan starts at $16 695 and includes the new Sync technology. The Civic starts at $16 405. That is a big difference.

Pretty good prices if you ask me (but who does…)The base CRV is about $2000 more ($21 195) with less… Continue reading Nissan Rogue prices

Just a teaser for now.

From Frankfurt.

The all new Saab SUV will be presented in detroit next January.It will feature an all new diesel engine with 250hp!Not sure yeat if this engine will make it to the US. The Cadillac version of the car should be introduced soon after.Both cars will be made in Mexico.

That’s a lot of wood! Typical of most upscale Korean cars. But I thought they were getting better.I guess not. They still associate luxury with “wood”. Too bad. I’m sure it is a decent car…
