4 Door Ford Mustang prototype.

Since this is "Mustang Week", I thought this was interesting.
A 4 door Mustang prototype from the 60's.

Also interesting, Ford was still thinking of a 4 door car based Mustang as late as 2008.

I wonder if they will use the new "2015 Mustang" platform for a RWD sedan.
Seems that Lincoln could  use something like that...

2015 Ford Mustang


These are really bad pictures, I know.
But this is it, the all new Mustang.

I must say I am, so far, really disappointed. It just looks like they tried really hard to make the old (current) design fit the new chassis. There is nothing new at all. Anywhere.
Some elements, like the 3 LED bars next to the headlights, don't fit the design at all.
And they look cheap.
Inside, they updated the Sync with too many dials and buttons! Everybody told them to bring dials back so they went overboard.

So far, this is so bad... Neither retro or modern.


BUT. I am still seeing the real thing in a couple of days, and might just be changing my mind after sitting in one. Who knows...

2015 Ford Mustang

December 5th will be Mustang Day.

And I just found out I will be seeing it in person that day.
Will post plenty of pictures and first impressions.

Make sure you check my FaceBook page as well. 

2014 Saab 9-3


This is it. The 9-3 is back in production.
Saab won't say where the engine comes from. But it is a 2.0 Liter with 220HP.

The all electric version is coming out in a few months.

Audi Q1

Believe it or not, this is an actual teaser from Audi.
And it looks like a cartoon.

Still, besides the huge crazy looking wheels, we can tell they are going for a squared off look.
Which will be the trend for all new Audi designs from now on.

It is supposed to be based off the tiny A1, which we do not get here in the US.
But they were also saying the Q3 was not for the US. And it's coming over very soon.

So who knows, we might actually be seeing this small Crossover here in a couple of years...

2015 4 door Mini Cooper


Look who was caught at the factory...

The all new 4 door version of the Mini. This not the Countryman, or the Clubman. But a smaller, 4 door version of the "regular" Mini.

Mini execs are saying this model will become the most popular for the brand when it comes out next year.
Which actually makes sense, since 4 door cars are more in demand than coupes.

Kia K7/Cadenza Hybrid

Kia is getting ready to release a Hybrid version of the big K7 sedan. Known here as the Cadenza.

Not sure if it will make it to the US yet.
It seems to share the Optima Hybrid power train. Which includes a 150 2.4 Liter engine as well as a 35-kilowatt electric motor.

Over here, its only competition would deb the Toyota Avalon Hybrid.
