  • 2016 Kia Optima Interior

     Looking OK. I know this is a bad, grainy picture. But Im not really sure it is an improvement over the current model. Material quality might be better. But that flat look isn’t really more modern. Here is the current one. The more I look at it, the more I think it is actually way… Continue reading 2016 Kia Optima Interior

  • VW Passat GTE

    There is a new Plug-in Hybrid version of the Passat coming up. But, as you can see, this is not “our” Passat. It is the more modern all new 2015 European version. It is powered by a small 1.4 Liter engine with an electric motor for a total of 218HP. Which is really good. As… Continue reading VW Passat GTE

  • 2016 Chevrolet Spark

     This looks to me like a weird version of the current model. I test drove the current one a couple of gras ago, and was pleasantly surprised. Especially with the manual, this is a very nice tiny car. This just looks like it’s been through a Chinese designers comity meetings.

  • 2016 Chevrolet Equinox

     The 2016 Equinox will be shown very soon at the Chicago Auto Show. But from this teaser picture, it doesn’t look all new. Which is surprising, since prototypes have been testing for a while. And the current model came out about 6 years ago… Here is a similar shot of the current model. Looks like… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Equinox

  • 2016 VW Caddy

    First. I’ve heard VW is actually thinking of bringing this all new 4th generation to the US. Second. They would obviously have to change the name for our market. (I cannot imagine them selling a “VW Caddy” in the US.) Just like in Europe, it would compete with the Ford Transit Connect and the Fiat… Continue reading 2016 VW Caddy

  • 2016 Toyota Avalon

    The new one is on top. Just a teaser for now. (The red car is the current model) Looks like the Avalon is going to look more like the current Camry. I am sure they’re will be new lights in the rear as well. And small changes inside. Otherwise, it’s basically the same car. Which… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Avalon

  • Something you don’t see every day…

    But once in a while. There are still a couple of these around in L.A I saw it this morning, and it made me smile. Memories of the old “Starsky & Hutch” show. So amazing to see something like that, in such a great shape!

  • 2016 Hyundai Tucson

    Nothing much. Just the usual “optimistic” sketch. With giant wheels and small windows. Like Audi, Hyundai is going for a more square look. We’ll see the real thing at the upcoming Geneva auto show.

  • 2016 Nissan Maxima

    Better pictures. I still like it. Its quite amazing how many people seem to hate it (At least on this site) The Maxima should stand out. And I think this could actually look quite striking in real life. It is officially coming out for the New York Auto show in April. We’ll know everything by… Continue reading 2016 Nissan Maxima

  • Buick Excelle GT

    This is a China only model. Although the current Chinese Excelle is pretty much the same car as our Buick Verano, and the Opel Astra sedan.  I don’t think this is the next Astra or Verano. (It actually looks a lot less modern than the current one…) But the interior is all new. And it… Continue reading Buick Excelle GT

  • 2016 Renault Kadjar

    I think this just look like a rounded Mazda CX-7. Which is not a bad thing. I really liked the CX-7. With a bid of Nissan thrown into the mix. Of course. No idea why it is based on, but it would make sense to share its platform with out Nissan Rogue. Since it looks… Continue reading 2016 Renault Kadjar

  • 2016 Nissan Maxima

    These pictures are from the current SuperBowl commercial Nissan is running. As predicted, the production Maxima looks a lot like the “Sport Sedan Concept” from last year. A welcome upgrade from the current model. This is last year’s concept. Sure, it is quite a bit sleeker and sportier. But I think Nissan did a great… Continue reading 2016 Nissan Maxima
