All new Renault Twingo
The first Twingo was one of the most original car I had ever seen. Since, it has become one of these rather generic looking tiny European hatchbacks. For the upcoming redesign, it looks like Renault will try to compete with the Fiat 500 and Mini Cooper. Since the design resembles a bit the old Renault… Continue reading All new Renault Twingo

2015 Buick Anthem
Not that we can see anything new… The next Buick crossover was spotted testing in China, which is by far Buick’s largest market. It will, of course, also be sold in the US where it will slot between the Encore and Enclave. Using the same platform as the redesigned Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain.

Cadillac ATS V6 test Drive
I have to say, I thought the ATS was really boring when it fist came out. Nothing new. And the grille was especially uninteresting. After living with one for a week, I have some different thoughts. Yes, it does look quite conservative in general. (And that grille is still quite boring ) But there are… Continue reading Cadillac ATS V6 test Drive

2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe. Official pictures.
I loved last year’s concept. And Mercedes has kept the production model really close. Looks like, again, they offer a sportier looking version as well. (Just like the new C-Class) But both models come with the same 455HP V8 Turbo. But you know S-600 V12 and AMG versions are coming soon. And, for the 1st… Continue reading 2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe.

Better picture: 2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe
Here you can see how close the production model is to last year’s concept. Although, it has been toned down a bit and doesn’t seem as muscular. Which is too bad. Still, it should be quite impressive in real life. Partially due to its size. Here is the Accord coupe, that some people here have… Continue reading Better picture: 2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe

2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe
The CL is dead, long live the S-Class coupe. (Which the CL was anyway…) And it is quite a good looking car. It looks like it didn’t loose much from last year’s concept. A convertible version will follow soon after the coupe.

2015 Subaru Legacy: Better pictures?
It does look better in these pictures. But let’s face it, it still doesn’t even come close to what a Subaru should look like in 2014. So let’s lower our expectations and look at it again: .It is not ugly. .Pretty much on par with the Accord. Passat maybe. (Except for that grille still looks… Continue reading 2015 Subaru Legacy: Better pictures?

VW Taigun Concept. Take Two
Pretty much the same one we saw last year. Except the convenient hatchback in the rear has been replaced by an old fashion, clunky design with the spare wheel. Just like we used to have over here on the old CRV. (I guess some people like the fake “off road look” better.) It also uses… Continue reading VW Taigun Concept. Take Two

20015 Subaru Legacy
Yes, 2015! I am sure the new Legacy is a good car. Maybe even a really good one. To drive and own. But that 90’s design should have never happened. As much as many (including me) love to criticize how boring the US Passat looks. At least it has a presence, an understated classy look… Continue reading 20015 Subaru Legacy

Cadillac ATS test drive coming up
I am finally getting to drive the ATS for a week. The one I got is a 3.6 Liter V6 Premium. Pretty much the most expensive model you can order. So far. Not as impressed as I though I would be…

More pictures of the Citroen Cactus
Yes, this is a production car. NOT a concept. Which seems really amazing. Even more so when you consider this is being introduced the same week as the 90’s looking 2015 Subaru Legacy. This is what an inexpensive , roomy and stylish family car should look like in the 21st century. Original and useful new… Continue reading More pictures of the Citroen Cactus

Chevrolet Adra Concept
Nothing really new here. As it looks way too much like the Kia Saoul. Although the front end design could end up being used as the new face of most of Chevrolet’s SUVs and Crossover models. It looks a lot like the spy shots we have seen of the next Spark. Due out next year.… Continue reading Chevrolet Adra Concept

Citroen C-Cactus
What a fun looking car. Not as super nice as the concept they showed us a while ago. But still… Something original, not to expensive. Fun. A bit weird. What a Citroen should be! And really, what a Subaru should be too. More on this really soon.

Nissan Rogue Test Drive
The all new Rogue’s design is quite an improvement over the previous generation. It does look a bit like a small version of the new Pathfinder. But better, I think. It is a more modern and stronger design than its big brother, which ends up looking a bit soft. Same thing inside, where it has… Continue reading Nissan Rogue Test Drive

Stuff we don’t get: Mazda6 wagon
I think this is one of the best looking wagon ever. It just looks fantastic, and makes you want to buy one even if you don’t need it. But. Here in the US, we can’t. Mazda is bringing, after a few delays, a diesel version of the 6 sedan in a few months. That engine… Continue reading Stuff we don’t get: Mazda6 wagon

Stuff we don’t get: Ford Focus wagon
Someone has decided the US shouldn’t be getting any small wagons. As even Ford is not selling this one here. I guess everyone is just happy to let VW and their Sportwagen dominate this part of the market…

2015 Subaru Legacy
I can’t really say I am disappointed. As I wasn’t expecting much from this. Subaru is a master at turning out super boring cars that somehow manage to also be quite ugly. At least this is just boring. As well as a copy of so many other things… It has a bad 80’s/90’s look to… Continue reading 2015 Subaru Legacy

2015 VW Jetta coming up
VW will unveil a revised Jetta in April at the New York Auto Show. (Picture above is the current model. Not the upgraded one) Not sure yet what the “mid-cycle refreshing’ will bring. Let’s hope a better interior. ( how about the dash from the new Golf) And who knows what else… What would you… Continue reading 2015 VW Jetta coming up

2015 VW Golf Sportwagen
Stuff we ARE getting: The new Sportwagen. Except now, as it should be, it will finally be called Golf. Not Jetta. Which is what it is, a Golf Wagon. Just like the current one. Now no one will have to explain why this Jetta wagon has a Golf interior. (So it looks like VW has… Continue reading 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen

Stuff we don’t get: Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback
Another puzzler. While Ford sells tons of Focus hatchbacks in the US, GM won’t sell us this. I have to say, this is not my favorite hatchback design (This is no Mazda3). But still. Why not? Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and others all sell hatchbacks here. Again, since the next one won’t make it to… Continue reading Stuff we don’t get: Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback
