In case anyone's wondering why I put the same commercial for both bodystyles of this 200SX, it's because both bodystyles were equally featured in the ad.

Also, I listed it as 1981 because that's the copyright date (seen seconds into the ad), even though it's listed on YT as a 1982 commercial.

That really only applies to the model year of the car.

Wow, wannabe Lincoln and Kia, they look like a cross between those on the Continental and those on the Optima, with perhaps a little Toyota Avalon mixed in...

I can't help but see a lot of Kia in the rear.

Really nice update and an actual model name instead of a trio of letters (hopefully the MKZ and MKC will follow suit in the next few years).

Replacement for the Juke, highly underpowered, with a naturally aspirated 1.6 that produces 125hp and 115 lb-ft of torque, pretty much all of it's competition here in the US has more power, with some models getting as good or in some cases better fuel economy.

Nice looking vehicle, but it's engine will likely make this vehicle less popular than it's predecessor...and it's guaranteed to be much more boring to drive.

Switched Canada to NO, as it's been confirmed that only the Regal Sportback will be offered there, making the TourX a US exclusive model (no word on whether it or the Sportback will be offered in Mexico yet).

Same for the US site. 6 Convertible, 6 Gran Coupe, M6 Convertible, M6 Gran Coupe, 6 Gran Turismo, and Alpina B6 Gran Coupe.

So is the Gran Coupe, too.

Apparently, there will technically be two generations of Wranglers on sale for the 2018 model year, and current gen '18 Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models are now being sold as Wrangler JK and Wrangler Unlimited JK, listed on the window sticker, as well as the model name marking on the side now reading WRANGLER JK.

That is true, but when you look at how many similarly classified vehicles Japanese manufacturers have in their lineups, including models shared between manufacturers (which is all of them except Honda), it's not really that hard to see them co-exist.

Also, if Jeep can sell the Renegade, Compass, and Cherokee, all with overall dimensions that aren't actually that far apart from each other, Suzuki can have both this and the Ignis.

1 liter powered subcompact CUV apparently intended to slot above both the Hustler, which most of it's design is based on, and the upcoming next-gen Jimny, and below the Escudo.

While nearly all of the XBee is inspired by the smaller Hustler, the split 'floating roof' look of the rear is more like that of the latest Swift.

Looking at the way other manufacturers are adding all of these similarly sized CUVs in the US market, I could see Toyota slipping this in-between the RAV4 and Highlander, perhaps as a premium higher-spec only model with only the hybrid and turbocharged 8AR-FTS powertrains available.

It would kinda be to the RAV4 as the Avalon is to the Camry.

Badge engineered Nissan Tiida/Versa.

Body styling looks like a cross of Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala, car is actually based on Buick LaCrosse underpinnings.

On the outside, this vehicle looks to be a ripoff of the third generation Toyota RAV4, perhaps with a hint of either Honda CR-V or Volvo in the tail lights, but to be honest...if it's a RAV4 ripoff, they actually made it look better than the vehicle they ripped off.

Built by Dongfeng's joint venture with Nissan, this is a continued production version of the second generation Nissan X-Trail.

Pretty obvious that this is a Ford Explorer ripoff.

The latest generation Century, the third such generation (plus the Century Royal). No revolutionary design, rather another evolution of the traditional Century look. Gone is the V12 engine, replaced by a 5 liter V8 hybrid system, essentially the same as under the hood of the new generation Lexus LS hybrids.

Overall size increases, with increases in length, wheelbase, and width.

It's actually been out of production for over a year (September 2016), but yes, dealers still have Darts in stock.

Name is Future-Type, not Future F-Type.

The unholy trinity. The F99 was a blatant Subaru Forester ripoff, the F10 is a Forester ripoff with an Audi ripoff nose, then there's this, a Forester ripoff with a Honda Vezel/HR-V ripoff nose. Typical China.

Wow, what a massively obvious Volkswagen Tiguan ripoff. Or is it a Touareg ripoff?

Retro design pretty much sums it up. Here's what it will apparently look like: www.motor1.com/news/177749/2018-suzuki-jimny-leaked/

Apparently multiple forms of two-tone paint will be offered, like the grille, windshield surround, roof, fender flares, and protruding pieces on the front bumper, all able to be ordered in various combinations.

For the 2018 model year, at least six paint colors return, plus two brand new colors.

New:

- Helios Yellow
- Orange Fury

Carryover:

- White Orchid Pearl
- Lunar Silver Metallic
- Modern Steel Metallic
- Crystal Black Pearl
- Milano Red
- Aegean Blue Metallic

Also, this should be moved out of the Upcoming Cars section, these began hitting dealerships in the US on Monday.

The latest Regal GS (to be sold by Opel as the Insignia GSi) packs a serious punch.

Powered by a 3.6 liter V6 with 310 horsepower, the LGX from the LaCrosse, it's got 20 more horsepower than a comparable Acura TLX A-Spec (290 hp from a 3.5 J35Y V6) and 4 more than a comparable Lexus IS350 F-Sport (306 hp from a 3.5 2GR-FSE V6). Nine-speed automatic, AWD, and Continuous Damping Control as standard.

Starting price will be #39,990, including destination charges.

Four major details about this new Accord:

1. No more V6 power for the Accord, only 1.5 liter and 2 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, plus the Hybrid.
2. The 2 liter turbo four, while not DIRECTLY sourced from the Civic Type-R, shares much of it's design with the Type-R's engine.
3. The Hybrid model (US spec) will once again be built in the US (Marysville, Ohio) after being built in Japan for the last few years.
4. This is the first Accord where the Sport trim level (formerly only offered as a slightly more powerful version of the base 4 cylinder engine, not the V6) will be offered on BOTH non-hybrid powertrains of the Accord.

The tenth generation Accord will make it to dealers this fall, likely only the 1.5 and 2.0 versions, with the Hybrid likely to follow soon after.

Wow, this looks like a cross of a BMW X4 (body), a Tesla (front end), and either a Lincoln or a GMC Denali model (grille pattern).

Pretty awesome combination. Apparently co-developed with Koenigsegg, hence the insane power levels.

What is this supposed to be? A 2-door C-HR? Because that's exactly what it looks like.

Wow, when they said this car could pass for a Jaguar, they weren't kidding. It's a near-blatant F-Type ripoff.
