Yo, what’s good automotive consumers and enthusiasts of the world. It’s yaboi Nicholas Justinian, here at the North American International Auto Show 2019, bringing you the TL;DR of all the best automotive news! With one week before the opening of the show, let’s see what all the latest manufacturers have to offer!
Here Comes The Mirror Man., says Corsica automotive, with a very vague teaser of a muscle car looking thing called the cheetah. I don’t know who the mirror man is but perhaps he’ll show this car a reflection of itself? Or us?
Ursula AG is apparently unveiling their first full sized luxury car. They claim it’s going to change history. But really? A full sized luxury sedan in 2019 is going to change history? With everybody shopping for SUVs these days, seems to me like it’s only going to BE history… but maybe i’ll be wrong.
Edit: In the interest of accurate journalism, Ursula insists I omit the fact that it’s not the first luxury sedan they made… but instead the first luxury sedan they’ve… uh… made. Thank you for that oh so important distinction.
The IREV Is something coming from AL autos… Can’t say too much about it as of yet. Maybe it will have good range, maybe not. Be premium? I don’t know. What I do know is that it has MASSIVE hypnotic headlights. Dear god, this thing is staring into my soul.
Huangdou is showing a new CC, and they’re apparently quite Buddhist because there’s something there about rebirth. Let’s hope this one is reborn as a swan and not as a donkey, hm?
Harada apparently has a whole new fleet to show, with a sports car, a crossover, and a pickup. The latter two are what Americans are really buying, and the crossover appears to have even been done by Luceat studious. You can tell because it looks far better than the other two. Edit: I’ve been told the sports car is actually the one done up by luceat. Shocker. I still think the crossover is the best looking one.
Dotara is showing us a “fighter”… cool. What’s it fighting exactly? What is it? Is it even a car? I can barely tell and there’s not enough info for me to care.
Evengis is unveiling another crossover… rest assured it will be boring as hell and plenty of people will buy it. You can stop by their stand or take a nap in Harrod’s to get the same experience.
We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been doing, AL autos says with some vague looking sedan thing. It’s frowning, it has hypnotizing triangle headlights the camera angle they’ve chosen to show it with is just terrible.
Shromet is unveiling a crossover as well… “The sports car for five” they claim. God, what a disgusting spew of marketing cack. It’s not a sports car and anybody who buys into their marketing campaign is an idiot.
Hokuto heavy inudstries says something big is coming. Well, anything looks big when you zoom into it that close. But I don’t know what it is other than that it’s red. It might be a toy. I don’t know.
Apparently Gabatron is unveiling a whole city? or more than likely it will just be some pretentious idealistic post apocalyptic village where everybody eats vegan cake and plants trees to promote some little electric scooter. God is that pretentious. Maybe make something that works in the real world.
Retronix is showing a terribly sad looking sedan. I hope it’s fast enough that I won’t have to look at it for very long… I mean, look at it! It just looks so sad!
Well, with one week to go, I’m sure there will be plenty more to show before the opening on the 14th. Maybe even a few good presentations? Being optimistic. But you can be sure to check in for Motornation for coverage! And be sure to check Our Page for an upcoming review, staring yours truly!

No, this isn’t the first F-segment car Ursula released. Although the original is cancelled to production due to the economic depression happening in 2008.
To be exact, this is the first production full-size luxury car Ursula made.

DETROIT - Ursula AG has officially held it’s first press event today, and officially announced the all-new Ursula F7 F-segment sedan. The F7 is Ursula’s first production full-size luxury sedan, and the first new sedan since 1980. With an all-new design, the most advanced engines, the latest technology and the best-in-class interior, the F7 will change your mind about luxury sedans, and will be changing history once and for all. The car will be starting production this fall, and sales (in Europe, North America, Australia, Japan, China) will commence this winter.
Highlights:
The Ursula F7 full-size luxury sedan. Perfection achieved.
Press Release
With more than 10 years of research, development, and testing, Ursula finally released the all new F7, Ursula’s first production F-segment sedan ever. The F7 utilizes Ursula’s best technology, safety, luxury and driving dynamics, giving Ursula’s qualities to the driver and the passenger at the same time.
Key features
The F7 utilizes Ursula’s “Fluent” design language, and the design language redefines the car itself. It’s fluid lines, stylized front and rear, and a new look defines Ursula’s next generation of motoring.
Built with the advanced Ursula Advanced Modular Platform (UAMP), the F7’s light AHS steel chassis is paired with aluminum, Kevlar and carbon fiber parts to make the car 30% rigid compared to it’s competitors.
The F7 is available in 3 powerful, highly-efficient petrol engines, a 3.5L V6 turbo, a 4.5L V8 turbo, or the all-new 5.5L V10 turbo, which is specially designed for the F7. Petrol is not your kind? The F7 eMotion is available with an 85 kWh dual electric motor, and it has an EPA-certified 430 km range. Want the power of both petrol and electric? The F7 650Te is powered by the same 3.5L V6 found on the 600T, but adds an electric motor to generate the front wheels, giving a 40 km range and a total output of 400 hp/690 Nm.
With the Ursula WaveDrive active comfort suspension, driving can’t be the same anymore. The WaveDrive suspension is specially tuned for the best driving experience, making your daily drive to a whole new level of comfort, safety and performance.
Ursula’s Smart Drive Assist, the evolution of Auto Drive Assist, is the world’s most advanced automated driving system ever. This technology can let the F7 use the world’s first level 4 automation system, which lets the car automatically react to most roads. (Coming in 2020, optional)
The interior is specially tuned for comfort in mind. Experience the best with high-end leather seats, touch display HUD with 4K display panels, perfume-scented air conditioner, 28-speaker high-definition speakers, 48-volt electrical system, panorama roof and for the first time in an Ursula, Ursula Guide voice assistant that can help you find destinations, change radio stations, make reminders and entertain in-car, all by speaking to it.
Also first in class, you won’t need a key (we still give you one because we still care about you), as the F7 now equips with Phone Connect Plus, you just use your phone (with NFC supported), and the car will automatically start. Scared of your car being stolen because of this? Don’t worry, the car has an unique lock code, so only you can access the car, without any worries.
Safety is always our priority. The F7 comes with DriveSafe Plus technology, allows the car to automatically tune the car in any conditions for maximum safety. Also for the first time, the F7 now has optional external airbags (standard for the 800T model), that means in an event of an crash, the external airbags provide a layer of safety for the occupants in-car.
The F7 is only be produced in Ursula’s most advanced factory, located in Bremen, the home of Ursula.
