2014 BMW X5
Here it is. First official pix of the all new X5. As usual, looking pretty much like the old X5… Or, now more than ever, a big X3.

Infiniti FX37 Test Drive
The Infiniti FX is a familiar face. The current version has been out for exactly 5 years. The front end was redesigned for 2012. The design has aged pretty well in my opinion. It still looks upscale yet sporty. Everything feels solid and very well put together inside. But it has aged quite a bit… Continue reading Infiniti FX37 Test Drive

Fisker: The new Saab???
Fisker has become the new Saab. Will it die? Will someone save it at the last minute? Chinese companies involved, etc…. Same thing we were talking about with Saab a few years ago. Now we hear that Chinese company Wanxiang is teaming up with Bob Lutz’s VL Automotive in order to make a bid for… Continue reading Fisker: The new Saab???

Chevrolet Spark EV price
The all new electric version of the Spark has just been officially priced at $27 500. Before the $7500 federal tax credit. There is also an additional credit in California which brings the price to $17 500. Quite amazing… I drove the Spark a few months ago and really liked it. The EV has more… Continue reading Chevrolet Spark EV price

Fiat 500L Prices
The all new small Fiat 4 door will start at $19 100 for the base “Pop” model in the US. This includes what you’d expect, like air, power windows. But also Bluetooth, a 5 inch display and the 1.4 Liter Turbo engine. So, not a bad deal. A 6 speed manual is also standard. The… Continue reading Fiat 500L Prices

2014 Mazda 3 ?
Still looks like an illustration to me. But also seems to match all the spy shots of the car. So, if it’s not real, it is probably pretty close. The next 3 should be quite a good looking car…

Something you don’t see every day: Kia K9
Also named Quoris in some markets… But this one says “K9” on it, so I guess thi s is a Korean model. Caught in Hollywood on the 101 freeway. Not sure if Kia is ready to sell the big RWD sedan over here, but this is the 2nd one I see around. I saw a… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day: Kia K9

2014 Toyota Corolla teaser
Small teaser so far. The real thing comes out in a couple of weeks.

2014 BMW 5 Series
It’s time for the 5 series useless and almost invisible changes. At least it doesn’t ruin anything. Especially on the hatchback GT version where the new tail lights look a lot better. Otherwise, it’s mostly more chrome here and there. I guess this will appeal better to the Chinese market… A new model for the… Continue reading 2014 BMW 5 Series

Next Audi A4/A6 ?
This was sent to me as an illustration for the next A6. But the next sedan Audi will redesign is the A4. So I am not really sure what this is supposed to be. My guess would be the next A4. Although as we know, they will pretty much have the same lines in different… Continue reading Next Audi A4/A6 ?

It was just the 2014 XC60…
The teaser we’ve been seeing from Volvo for the past few days. Just the XC60 they already showed us a while ago. Nothing new…. Thanks Volvo!

NOT a BMW: Chinese Jinbei Haixing X30 Van
This is quite amazing. Jinbei Haixing is a subsidiary of Brilliance. Which is BMW’s partner in China. So they just think it’s OK to splatter BMW details all over their assy X30 van, I guess. The grille, headlights, fog lights. There is even a BMW feel in the tail lights. And look at the lettering… Continue reading NOT a BMW: Chinese Jinbei Haixing X30 Van

Volvo teaser video
Here is the official video teaser from Volvo. Still hard to tell what it is… We’ll know soon enough since the reveal is tomorrow.

“Small overlap” test results: Scary…
Pretty bad results for everyone here. Except Mitsubishi and Subaru. I am also surprised that this type of crash represents only 25% of injuries. It would seem that most crashes don’t involve the whole front end…

New Volvo teaser. What is it???
So Volvo just released this thing. Which will be unveiled in just a few days. But what is it? Sharpening the picture doesn’t help much… Most people seem to think this is just the 2014 XC60 pictured above. The one with a new front end. But the teaser does look a bit different up front.… Continue reading New Volvo teaser. What is it???

2014 S-Class: the back seat.
I have to say this is pretty sumptuous. Or borderline ridiculous, depending how you see it….

Finally the real thing: 2014 mercedes S-Class
Here it is. Real and better pictures of the all new big Mercedes sedan. Which is pretty bland and to me, doesn’t look more modern than the current one. Which I always liked. Remember when the S-Class would stand out because it looks so modern and different? Like the 1st one actually called the S… Continue reading Finally the real thing: 2014 mercedes S-Class

Another picture of the 2014 Mercedes S-Class
Being transported in a plane. We’ve pretty much seen the whole thing now…. All we need is better pictures of it.

BYD e6. Taxi only in the US
BYD has decided not to sell its all electric e6 model to consumers in the US after all. But, it will be available as a Taxi. So we will see them around. The range of 186 miles seems really good and could work for a Taxi, I guess. The claim to be concentrating on building… Continue reading BYD e6. Taxi only in the US

2014 Chevrolet City Express
It took them a while, but GM will finally have some competition for the Ford transit Connect. Even if it isn’t a Chevy at all, but a Mexican built Nissan NV200 with a Chevrolet front end. The whole thing is not nearly as attractive or cure as the Ford. A bit sad that GM cannot… Continue reading 2014 Chevrolet City Express
