2015 Ford Escort
The Escort will be back soon. But so far, in China only. It will not be part of Ford’s line up for Europe or the US. As we already have the Fiesta and Focus as small sedans. This is quite conservative, but not bad looking. (At least better than the weird Fiesta Sedan) And as… Continue reading 2015 Ford Escort

2015 Kia Sedona
No real surprises, but it all looks really good. At least as good as the Honda/Toyota minivans. And, you get a normal, “car like” console between the front seats. Something you usually don’t get in a minivan. I think this is great. It does look like a minivan version of the luxurious Cadenza sedan. It… Continue reading 2015 Kia Sedona

2015 Nissan Murano
The original Murano was quite a stand out when it came out. (I don’t think the 2nd generation was able to repeat that.) This all new 3rd generation now has to stand out not only in the market place, but within the Nissan family as well. As it is now squeezed between the Pathfinder and… Continue reading 2015 Nissan Murano

2015 VW Jetta
Another disappointment. As I was expecting more. The front end is barely new. Which, I guess is OK since it still looks just fine. But I was really expecting a new interior. All we get is a new steering wheel and some black trim on the console. Although the official PR BS says “updated materials”.… Continue reading 2015 VW Jetta

2015 Chevrolet Cruze?
Wait, what? The all new Cruze has been testing for ever now. And for 2015 all we get is the old model with a new grille? This is quite confusing. Unless the “real new Cruze” isn’t due out for at least 2 years??? Why would they facelift the old one just a year before the… Continue reading 2015 Chevrolet Cruze?

A few more pictures of the Lexus NX
It seems that quite a few people are already getting used to it. (Including myself) No matter what, this should be a best seller for Lexus. It will be interesting to see how it does against the all new Lincoln MKC. As both should be in the same price range. (The Lincoln starts at $33… Continue reading A few more pictures of the Lexus NX

Is this the 2015 Dodge Charger?
This was sent as a link from a previous post. So not really sure if this is the real thing or not. From this (pretty bad) picture, it looks pretty blah… Also does this mean a new Chrysler 300 is coming up soon? We should se the real thing very soon…

2015/16 Buick Anthem
This is Buick’s version of the next Chevrolet Equinox. And it might not be called Anthem anyway. It could be Envision or Enspire. (yes, really….) This is a new model or Buick, and could arrive just in time to compete with the new Lexus NX. It will also be sold in Europe as the new… Continue reading 2015/16 Buick Anthem

2016 Opel Astra
It is almost time for a new Astra. And here it is. Here in the US, we have a version called the Buick Verano. (With a trunk instead of a hatch.) So this means a new Verano within a couple of years. These will all share a new structure with the new Chevrolet Cruze and… Continue reading 2016 Opel Astra

2015 VW Golf Sportwagen (US)
These are pictures of the US version, which will be shown at the New York Auto Show in a few days. As you can see, it looks the same as what is available in Europe now. And they kept the “Golf” name as well. (It was going to be called just VW Sportwagen) So it… Continue reading 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen (US)

2015 Lexus NX (Official pictures)
These look so much better. (And it’s not white. ) It is actually growing on me. And I bet it does look better in person too. The US will get both versions: the NX200t and NX300h. The 200t uses the all new 2.0 Liter Turbo engine (No numbers available yet) While the 300h is the… Continue reading 2015 Lexus NX (Official pictures)

More pictures of the all new Lexus NX
It might be growing on me… (Not sure yet) It would be nice to see another color than white. I do like the really high center console. Although the whole interior might seem more “gimmicky” than luxurious. More very soon. Including official pictures and specs.

2015 Lexus NX
This is the real thing. I know the pictures are bad, but it is. And all I can say is: It’s not for everyone… Sure, it ‘s a bit better than the concept, but not by much. Power will come from an all new 2.0 Liter Turbo. The 300h pictured here is the hybrid, using… Continue reading 2015 Lexus NX

2015 Kia Sedona
Another teaser for the redesigned Minivan. Looking fine here. But this illustration also shows huge wheels the production model won’t use. Still, it should be good looking enough to hold its own against the competition. Unless Chrysler can come up with something amazing next year with their all new Town & Country.

2016 Ford Taurus/Lincoln MKS mule
I know we have seen this one before. But why not again… I posted the front end of it a few weeks ago. Longer and wider than the new Fusion, while based on the same platform. Lincoln has been doing a good job lately with their designs. making sure they don’t look like Chromed Fords… Continue reading 2016 Ford Taurus/Lincoln MKS mule

Life with the Leaf. Part three
I have to say that I really enjoyed spending a week driving the Leaf. I never got close to running out of range. As I was able to plug it every night. Even at the slow 120 plug in my parking lot. It was always enough for the next day. It is really a car… Continue reading Life with the Leaf. Part three

Land Rover’s “Transparent bonnet”
This is one of the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. Thanks to cameras pointed at the ground, and an image projected on the windshield, you could now actually see through the hood of the car. Which could be very useful in 4WD driving. A great idea for Land Rover. I… Continue reading Land Rover’s “Transparent bonnet”

2015 Ford Focus (US)
The usual Aston Martin grille. Now on all Ford cars. A few details in the back. A cleaned up interior. The current Focus is still very nice looking. So these changes don’t ruin it. And the new 3 cylinder engine (already available in the US Fiesta) is coming to the Focus as well. With a… Continue reading 2015 Ford Focus (US)

VW Jetta CC ?
I have heard about this rumor for years now. (This is just one more illustration of that a CC Version of the Jetta could look like.) And just like the 4 series BMW is what the 3 series should actually look like, this CC would make a better looking Jetta. But, besides many illustrations over… Continue reading VW Jetta CC ?
