VW Buggy Up! Concept heading for production?

 The magazine Autocar claims the cute concept from 2 years ago will actually be produced. And its main market would be the US.
Which seems a bit weird. Since the Up! , on which this is based, isn't sold here at all. That would mean shipping the car from Europe.
Plus, the appeal seems really limited. A 2 seater car with no roof and no doors.
They won't sell us the Scirocco or the Polo, but they are sending this over?

Don't get me wrong, I really love this design. And being based on the cheap 12 000 Euros Up! would make it pretty cheap as well.
But I really don't think VW will actually produce this.

Although... Nissan went all the way into the bizarro world and did produce the Murano Cabrio, so why not....

This is the concept from a couple of years ago.
The patent designs are exactly the same. So I think they are of the concept, not a production car....

Too bad....

Transformers 4 New Bumblebee

Kind of strange they didn't use a modified 2014 Camaro. Instead, redesigning a whole new front end.
Which, I think, looks great.

So good that the rest of the car looks old. And way too angular now.
But that new front end looks almost futuristic

Let's hope this is a preview of what the all new 2016 Camaro will look like.

The good old days....

I am reposting this.
Just for those who miss "the good old days".
The "they don't make them like that anymore" crowd....

Amazing display of what modern technology and design can do. To save lives.

2014 Mazda 3 sedan

Looking good. For a small sedan.

Many are already saying this picture is fake, since it does match an official shot of the new 3 hatchback published last week.
I think it's real, since car manufacturers do this all the time. Computerized illustrations.

Plus, if it's not real, it is probably so close to the real thing that it doesn't matter anyway...

Look at this asshole....

This is quite amazing and sad.
Not being able to even take the 1st turn, this guy just speeds up and looses control. Mowing down 17 people in the process...

Amazingly enough, no one died .

All new Datsun coming up

Nissan is reviving the old Datsun name for new emerging markets only.
So there will be no new Datsuns in the US or Europe.

This "new" model is rumored to be based on the previous generation Nissan Micra.
So you know it'll be cheap. Powered by a 1.2 Liter, also from the Micra.

2014 Nissan Terrano

 1st pictures of the all new Nissan Terrano testing in India.
As you can see, it is pretty much a rebadged Renault/Dacia Duster. Which isn't a bad thing.

And again, I think this could work here as well as a replacement for the aging Nissan Xterra.
