Hyundai HND-9 Concept
I am usually not too crazy about pure concepts. But Hyundai is saying this shows their new design language. I think it has “next Genesis Coupe” written all over it. Or at least, let’s hope so. Even if the next one looks half as good as this, it’ll be great. I drove the Genesis coupe… Continue reading Hyundai HND-9 Concept

1970’s: Cars from The Rockford Files
I must admit, I have been watching too much Netflix lately… The fact that you can watch whole seasons of TV shows, years worth of work, in just a few days is pretty addicting. For the past few weeks, I ‘ve been rediscovering The Rockford Files. So be warned of the following “Nerdfest”… Here are… Continue reading 1970’s: Cars from The Rockford Files

All new Citroen C4 Picasso
I think this is the 3rd generation of this. LAst time I was in Europe a few months ago I saw plenty of the current one. And they do look really nice and very modern. Not sure this new one is such an improvement. It looks exactly like the fake and redundant “concept” they showed… Continue reading All new Citroen C4 Picasso

2014/15 Mini Copper
We have seen the camouflaged exterior before. So nothing really new here, until we see the real thing. But for the 1st time, we get to se the production interior. Looks like the moved the speedometer away from the center of the dash. Which is weird for a Mini. The steering wheel looks like it… Continue reading 2014/15 Mini Copper

Porsche Macan
Although still just an illustration, it does look kind of nice. Again, I think for most people who want to get a Porsche for its name, this will be enough. They won’t need to spend the extra cash on the Cayenne to show off anymore. European press is talking about a 340HP 3.0 Liter V6.… Continue reading Porsche Macan

Subaru XV Crosstrek hybrid: Worst marketing BS in years.
The regular Crosstrek is getting a combined MPG of 28. (25 City/33Hwy) Subaru is now offering us the new Hybrid version. They expect it to get a combined rating of 31! (28 City/34Hwy). That is only a 3 MPG gain on average. And just 1 on the Highway! I am all for Hybrids, like the… Continue reading Subaru XV Crosstrek hybrid: Worst marketing BS in years.

Sad little thing: The all new 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage.
Looks like one of these “emerging market” cars. Or something from China. Except this will be sold in the US later this year. They claim it will get 37/44MPG. Which is really good for a non-hybrid car. But at what cost? They don’t mention any engine for the US yet. It seems well equipped, as… Continue reading Sad little thing: The all new 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage.

Subaru WRX Concept
If this is for real, it means the next WRX would have its own design, instead of being an “unglyfied Impreza” with a huge rear wing and gold wheels. This one is a very nice design. It should really be what the Impreza look like. But somehow, I really don’t trust Subaru with their Concepts.… Continue reading Subaru WRX Concept

2014 Cadillac CTS
Looking good in the flesh. Still wish the rear lights had been more aggressive. Matching the front LEDs….

It will start at $36 450. Or about $900 less than the G37 from last year. And about $4000 more for the more powerful hybrid model. The Q50 uses the 3.7 Liter V6 with 328HP While the Hybrid gets the 3.5 Liter V6 with an electric motor for a combined 354HP. So it looks like… Continue reading Infiniti prices the all new Q50 sedan

2014 Hyundai Equus
A few changes here and there make the exterior a bit simpler, better looking. Big improvement inside. Where it now looks much more like the luxury car it wants to be. But it is still expensive. It starts at about $7000 less than the Lexus LS. Which is too much. No matter how good it… Continue reading 2014 Hyundai Equus

2014 Dodge Durango
I must say, I am really not a big fan of big V8 SUVs pushed as family cars. These pictures are of the R/T version. It looks OK I guess. I like the Dodge rear lights, which should be used on everything they design. But the whole thing feels old fashion to me. Still very… Continue reading 2014 Dodge Durango
