Vince Burlapp Car Page: 2012 VW Passat CC

Vince Burlapp Car Page: 2012 VW Passat CC

Looks like a more streamlined version of the current CC, and yes, it uses that same VW grill that everything else is now getting grafted on. At least it kinda looks better than the old chrome grille.

BREAKING: Lamborghini bringing out the Jota LB715-5 and the 83X

The first one would obviously be their new, 715 horsepower supercar (but what the 5 means is beyond me. Previous, 2 and 4 meant how many wheels drove the car).

The real news is the Lamborghini 83X, which was teased in the 10-porthole shot.


That, my friends, is 10 portholes, not 12. Lamborghini ain't ditching the V12 at any point in the recent future. Therefore, this is something else. This is either the production version of the Lamborghini Estoque, or a new Gallardo replacement. 

The dark horse would be that this is a new front-engined GT car looking to take on either the Ferrari 599 GTB or 612 Scaglietti.

But most likely this is the other two, and whatever this is, it will have a V10.

The other two teaser shots:


A taillight teaser.

SPY SHOTS: 2012/2013 Ford Fusion/Ford Mondeo/Lincoln MKZ

This might not look like it, but this Ford Mondeo is actually a test mule for the all-new Mondeo, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, which will all be one global car with different names come the next generation.

SPY SHOTS: 2012 Hyundai HED-5

Hyundai has been caught testing their new Mazda5-competitor in Scandinavia. This new Hyundai Elantra-based space wagon alludes to the reason why the Kia Rondo was recently cancelled, as Kia can be expected to get their own version of this vehicle as well. The compact microvan will come with 3 rows of seats. Engine choices are unknown, but Hyundai previously hinted that the production version of the iMode concept (which is what this is) could come with a turbocharged 4-cylinder (the one used in the powerful Sonata Turbo), which would make this one hot ride for a microvan.

SPY SHOTS: 2011/2012 Hyundai i40 CW (AKA: Hyundai Sonata Wagon)

Well well well - after some speculation regarding this very possibility, Hyundai has been caught red-handed parading around a nice, disguised wagon version of the new Hyundai Sonata! There's a catch, though - this was caught in France by a French magazine, and will be called the Hyundai i40 CW when it is released there, and who knows if it will come out in America or not - but considering the seeming growing desire for wagons over here, the possibility of a Hyundai Sonata Wagon (or Touring?) really is not that far-fetched.


RENDERED: The Subaru "Toyobaru" RWD coupe

As we all know, Toyota and Subaru have been developing a new RWD coupe together, the "toyobaru" has fans and enthusiasts have taken to calling it. Both versions of the car are known to feature a flat-4, courtesy of Subaru, but overall, both companies are providing and sharing the technology involved in this car. Toyota has provided plenty of renders to show off their version of the Toyobaru coupe, first dubbed the FT-86 concept, now called the FR-S. The name is still unknown in Subaru guise, and no official renderings have come out, but this illustration shows what the Subaru RWD coupe could and should look like when it arrives here.

RENDERED: Saab 9-2 (92) and Saab 9-3

The Saab 9-2 (or 92) and 9-3 are coming soon, with real pretty new designs by Jason Castriota and new platforms that are non-GM related, and these renderings could be a nice little preview of what the real thing might look like. The first two pictures of the small Saab hatchback would be the Saab 92 or 9-2 (or even Saab 9-1), which, according to sources, Saab will outsource to BMW, to build off of the MINI platform, using MINI hardware, but built as a Saab. The new 9-3 should be built off of the new Spyker-designed Phoenix platform.
