VW Tiguan Test Drive
I have been interested in trying out the Tiguan for a while. And I finally got one last week. The new(ish) R version. The 1st thing I noticed was how good it looks. It came out almost 7 years ago! (with a refresh for 2012) Which is quite amazing. I think it still looks better… Continue reading VW Tiguan Test Drive

2014 VW Beetle 1.8Turbo price
Looks like the Beetle is the last VW US model to get the new 1.8 Liter. It has already replaced the 2.5 Liter in the Jetta and Passat. The 5 speed manual will start at $20 295. While the 6 speed auto is $1100 more. That base price is pretty much BS since it is… Continue reading 2014 VW Beetle 1.8Turbo price

More pictures of the 2015 Lincoln Navigator
As you can see, it is hardly new. Basically the same body it has had for so long now. With a new front end and interior every few years. This time it is getting a new engine as well. A 3.5 Lier V6 Turbo with 365HP. (About 55 less than the 2015 Escalade) Of course,… Continue reading More pictures of the 2015 Lincoln Navigator

2015 Lincoln Navigator
I know I am being “negative” again. But look at this… Just when you thought it wasn’t possible for the Navigator to be uglier, they release these pictures. That new front end is beyond words. I know I was bashing the new Escalade a few weeks ago for just being another Tahoe clone. But at… Continue reading 2015 Lincoln Navigator

How about some 2015 Volvo XC90 renderings
The illustration above looks great. But it is basically a 4 door version of the concept we saw last week. Which would be great, but would end up looking just like a regular wagon. Instead, I think we’ll get this. Another heavy looking, tall brick. Nothing special. really. After all these years… This could end… Continue reading How about some 2015 Volvo XC90 renderings

Another new London Taxi from LTI/Geely?
A few weeks ago I posted a picture of what Nissan is hoping to be the next Londan Taxi. basically a blacked out NV200 van with a chrome grille and round headlight. Which would be pretty sad. The original Firm LTI was bought by Chinese Geely a while ago. The the current London taxis are… Continue reading Another new London Taxi from LTI/Geely?

Chrysler to kill the Dodge Avenger
Not official yet. But it will be soon. There will be no Dodge version of the all new Chrysler 200. So while most people will talk about “no new Avenger coming up”. I think it means “no more Dodge very soon”. I mean really, think about it. All their trucks are now under a new… Continue reading Chrysler to kill the Dodge Avenger

What the Hell happened to the Mitsubishi Mirage???
I mean look at this! This is the sedan version of the hatchback sold in the US. So far the sedan is for Canada. But Mitsubishi is also considering it for the US. There is no excuse for a car looking like that in 2014 This makes the Versa sedan look like Marilyn Monroe. This… Continue reading What the Hell happened to the Mitsubishi Mirage???

Nissan IDx Concept to go into production
That is great news. Now Nissan will have their own retro/futuristic car. As the new concept was inspired by the old Datsun model. A simple shape that can still work today. Also refreshing to see a 2 door sedan that isn’t trying to look like a hatchback. But, this is a pure concept design. So… Continue reading Nissan IDx Concept to go into production

Followed by a wagon. Where it will compete with cars like the Golf, Astra etc… Just a s a reminder, here… Continue reading 2014 Qoros 3 Hatchback

Chevrolet Silverado High Country Test Drive.
I mentioned before that I am not a “truck guy”. I like cars. I have zero need in my life for a truck (Maybe that’s why). But I thought it would be interesting to drive one for a week. A real big macho truck that makes John Wayne look like a girl scout. The Siverado… Continue reading Chevrolet Silverado High Country Test Drive.

Chinese made Volvo cars coming to the US.
Well. We all knew it was a matter of time. But they made it official today. Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson mentioned that it would happen “fairly quickly”. So basically, the 1st Chinese cars to hit the US market won’t be the cheap sub $10 000 stuff we were thinking about a few years ago. But… Continue reading Chinese made Volvo cars coming to the US.

Acura TLX
This is the concept version of the next Acura TSX. Which is the next TL. Instead of a new design, we get what looks like a larger version of the ILX. Itself already a boring car. The top one is the TLX. Basically the exact same lines as the ILX, stretched out. I know most… Continue reading Acura TLX

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Finally, the real thing. It is everything that was excepted, and nothing more. I guess the ATS sedan is not an exiting looking car and I was expecting a bit more from the coupe. Something more than a 2 door sedan. Still, there seem to be nothing really wrong here. Well proportioned, classic… I guess.… Continue reading 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
