Chevy Cruze Coupe

If it looks anything like this GM will be smiling all the way to the bank. The Colbolt was decent but too basic for my taste and didn't feel or drive like the competition.

GM really needs to market this as a competitor again the GTI since no American car company has ever taken that road successfully.

They have been good so far with the Malibu and every new GM product that has reached the market within the past 24 months. Keep it up boys!

2012 Chevy Malibu






Some feel this looks a bit like an Audi and Volvo, but I personally feel this is all Chevy. These are sketches of what the all new model will look like.

My biggest criticism of the current model is that the tail light looks a bit cheap. GM was wise to borrow the Camaro design to make it more fashionable. In my book the Camero is a true winner
and all Chevy, this one will end up a winner too.....

2011 Kia Magentis/Optima




Codenamed TF, the 2011 Optima sedan will first go on sale in South Korea in May, with a choice of two four-cylinder engines: the 2.0L CVVT and 2.4L with Gasoline Direct Injection technology and estimated 200 horsepower.

When the model goes on sale in the U.S. and other international markets, you can also expect to see a turbo engine, as well as hybrid powertrain to join the engine line-up.


It will share its powertrain technology with Hyundai’s just recently launched Sonata mid-size sedan and that is expected to get a turbo four-cylinder engine soon.

In addition, the possibility of a an all-new hybrid powertrain architecture sounds tempting as well.

A combination of a four-cylinder engine, cvt transmission and electric motor should provide even better fuel economy ratings than the existing four-cylinder 2.4L already achieves.

With 24 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, the 2.4L four-cyl. powered Sonata beats just about every rival in the segment and you can expect those numbers to be repeated with the all-new Optima mid-size sedan.

Honda S2000 Successor

More speculation about Honda's small little sport car. It seems that I have seen at least 8 different versions of this and I think Honda is a bit afraid to invest more money if it fails. Remember, the Insight, and CR-Z barley made the popularity list. And the Crosstour has been ratted on as well as the Ridgeline, while the Element is already 8 years old.

Is another hybrid/sport car really worth another try?

New Alfas on their way??!!??



And they are still ruling if they will come to the US. This is the biggest tease ever and it is making me nuts. Can you guess each one?????

Fake or Not Fake Run away Pruis

Is this an honest person or someone trying to capitalize on Toyota's big recall? He claims he couldn't stop his car going 90MPH until cops help him...

Jaguar XJ Coupe

Not exactly, but it might look like this. I am surprised they want another 2 door since they got the XK in place...
