2013 Honda Civic. (They do listen)
The sedan gets the most of the reworking. Front and rear are obviously new. Making the compact sedan look a bit more upscale, and closer to the new Accord. Not sure it is that much better, but it’s different. On the other hand, the coupe seems pretty much the same outside. It looked better than… Continue reading 2013 Honda Civic. (They do listen)

2014 Acura RLX
Just when you though luxury cars couldn’t get any more boring. Here is the new top of the line Acura. Here to prove that adding an X to a name doesn’t make it more exciting… The current RX came out in 2005. So this “all new one” should really look much better than this. It… Continue reading 2014 Acura RLX

2014 Kia Forte
Another really good looking compact sedan. Now the choice is getting harder and harder every year it seems. These cars are pretty roomy too, and often replacing mid sized sedans in the mind of many buyers. And with better mileage too. You can choose between a 1.8 L or 2.0L. 148hp or 173hp. Both pretty… Continue reading 2014 Kia Forte

New RAV4 outside, and another interior combo.
I would say, at least on these pictures, the interior is quite a step up from the CRV. I will be checking it myself soon and report on the quality.

More pictures of the all new Toyota RAV4
Now it’s official. And still, I think it looks just fine for what it competes with. It’s not for me, but it sure looks good enough to compete with the CRV, which is the best seller.

All new Porsche Cayman
Basically, the hard top version of the Boxster is now a hardtop version of the new redesigned Boxster… Nothing surprising. Still, another great looking Porsche. Engines will be the 2.7 Liter with 275hp, and the 3.4 Liter with 324HP for the S model.

Fiat 500L (US)
This is the US version of the “big” Fiat 500. The “L” Version. Over here, 2 versions will be offered, Standard (the white car) and Trekking. Both will be powered by the top of the line 1.4 Liter Turbo engine with 160hp. Used in the 500 Abarth. Both manual and Automatic will be offered. This… Continue reading Fiat 500L (US)

Los Angeles Auto show
I will be at the Auto Show press days this week. Reporting, taking pictures. So far the car I am the most excited to see in person is the all new Jaguar F-Type. How about you?

BMW i3 Concept Coupe
BMW has been teasing us with electric cars for about 3 years now. Starting with the i8 sports car. Now this new concept is a coupe version of the 13 hatchback we saw last year. The design still looks like one of these pure concepts, that will have to be completely redone for production. The… Continue reading BMW i3 Concept Coupe

More pictures of the all new RAV4
I think it might even been more than “it could have been worse”. It’s actually just fine. I know many people will love to hate it, but I predict this will be everywhere soon. Toyota still has a great reputation among most consumers, and the new RAV4 looks decent. That’s all it needs to be… Continue reading More pictures of the all new RAV4

2014 Chevrolet Spark EV
Seems that GM will be really pushing the all electric version of the Spark. Against, mostly, the Versa. Here is the official word: “The 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV, unveiled at the 2012 Los Angles Auto Show, packs smart performance and connectivity technologies into an affordable five-door urban mini car priced at under $25,000 with tax… Continue reading 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV

Ford Fiesta ST (US)
The Fiesta does look better for the new year. And the new ST model sure looks the part of the sporty version. And with 200hp from the 1.6 Liter Turbo engine, it should be pretty quick. I see the interior has been revised a bit. As it is pretty horrible and cheap on the current… Continue reading Ford Fiesta ST (US)

2014 Toyota RAV4
The current generation came out in 2005. So it’s about time for a new RAV4. Really. Everything else in the segment has been redesigned, sometimes twice. It looks just OK from these grainy pix. Nothing amazing, although I supposed it could have been worse… We will know much more very soon. Including what engines will… Continue reading 2014 Toyota RAV4

Acura RLX
These are pictures of the production version of the concept we saw earlier. That concept looked really boring a year ago, and this doesn’t look any better. It actually doesn’t look more modern than the current RL. And that car came out in 2005! It just look a bit weirder. Like an overgrown ILX. There… Continue reading Acura RLX

Audi A3 Sedan
The all new sedan version of the redesigned A3 is supposed to become the most popular A3 in the US when it comes out next year. So far, it looks like the same car we saw earlier as a “concept”. One of these fake concepts that basically take the production design and just add larger… Continue reading Audi A3 Sedan

Infiniti JX35 Test Drive Part Two.
The JX35 has to be one of the smoothest ride on the market. It feels more like what people would expect of a Buick or a Lincoln than an Infiniti. It doesn’t feel like a larger FX at all. If basically feels like a Nissan Quest. Which is pretty much what it is underneath. The… Continue reading Infiniti JX35 Test Drive Part Two.

All new Saab 9-3 coming up.
This is pretty much the car version of “The living dead”. Saab was “National Electric Vehicle Sweden” last June. When the Chinese investors announced their intention to produce an all electric version of the next 9-3, based on the all new Phoenix platform. The plan was to introduce the electric 9-3 in 2014. Now there… Continue reading All new Saab 9-3 coming up.

2014 Hyundai Genesis
Looks like the big Genesis sedan is due for an all new design in a little bit over a year. The current model has done pretty well for Hyundai so far. This already looks much more modern. V6 and V8 should return. And there are “crazy” rumors about a 10 speed Automatic transmission.

2014 Mercedes E Class
Just a short teaser video so far. Showing off the new headlight design. Which, on this video, looks really impressive. I pretty much hated the current E class sedan design when it came out just a few years ago. But after being in the car a few times, it has grown on me. Maybe because… Continue reading 2014 Mercedes E Class

2013 VW Beetle Convertible R-Line
Not sure if the sporty R-Line will make it to the US or not. But it does look pretty good. The most obvious difference being a new, more aggressive front bumper. I just wished VW had a smoother, more refined engine than the old 2.0 Liter Turbo to offer as an option on their cars.… Continue reading 2013 VW Beetle Convertible R-Line
