2017 Lincoln MKZ
I really think that new front end ruins it. I mean now they will try to stick that Continental concept grille on everyting??? Just when they started looking nice…

2017 Fiat 124
I know this is a Miata with a new body. But since I am not a huge fan of the new Miata design, I actually like this Fiat version better. Miata fans won’t like it. And Fiat purists might not either. Seeing this as “not a real Fiat”. What I see is Italian design built… Continue reading 2017 Fiat 124

2017 Buick Lacrosse
I have always been a big fan of the current Buick Lacrosse. It is (still) a really good looking car. With a very nice interior. And it really is a pleasure to drive. But I must say, I was expecting a bit more for the all new one. I mean, this looks fine. Slick. But… Continue reading 2017 Buick Lacrosse

More pictures of the all new 2016 Honda Civic Coupe
First… What is wrong with Honda’s PR department?!?! A few months ago we got these “1st official” horribly fake looking pictures of the new Civic sedan. Now we get horribly depressing interior color. I mean look at this! Grey interiors can be nice. Very nice. But this is terrible. It makes the whole thing look… Continue reading More pictures of the all new 2016 Honda Civic Coupe

2016 Honda Civic Coupe
First official picture of the all new coupe version of the 10th generation Civic!! So far, the usual for a Civic coupe. Same engines as the sedan. Same new features, like available LED headlights, Apple Car play, 7 inch screen, heated seats etc… MPG for both engines comes to a 35MPG average. All this and… Continue reading 2016 Honda Civic Coupe

2017 Ford Escape
Ford claims most of the sheet metal on the 2017 model is new. (Red car is the 2017) So, let’s see. It really doesn’t seem like it at all. Not that an all new car is expected, or even needed. The Escape is still one of the best looking compact SUV around. And it also… Continue reading 2017 Ford Escape

All new 2016 Mazda CX-9
Very early pictures. But these are the first shots of the redesigned CX-9. Looking, of course, really good. But I must say, not a giant leap compared to the still great looking current model. Inside, it seems more inspired by the Mazda6 than the CX-5. (Thank God) Much more very soon. And I will be… Continue reading All new 2016 Mazda CX-9

2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback
Chevrolet was selling a hatchback version of the previous (Still current I guess) Cruze compact in Europe. It was never sold in the US. But GM has mentioned many times that the new model will get a hatchback as well. And it will make it to the US. Quite an easy decision since Chevrolet stopped… Continue reading 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback

Kia Niro
Kia’s all new Hybrid SUV will be coming out next year. It will share a new platform with the new Hyundai “Hybrid only/Prius fighter” hatchback. As you can see, their official sketch is, as usual, pretty optimistic. The real thing (bellow) is much more conservative. Almost devoided of any personality. I guess being one of… Continue reading Kia Niro

2017 Buick Envision
The Envision is the midsize crossover Buick really needs. Right now. The Enclave is old. A new one is still at least a year (or two) away. And the Encore is just too small to sell in big numbers. So a Buick version of the Cadillac XT5 is what they need. It came out in… Continue reading 2017 Buick Envision

Mercedes SL
The front end is all new. And, in my opinion, much better than before. Unfortunately. The rear end hasn’t changed much. ( I guess that would have required too many new metal parts) Inside, I am glad they have not added the floating tablet to the dashboard. The screen was high enough, and they just… Continue reading Mercedes SL

2017 Infiniti Q60
The coupe version of the Q50 sedan will be, of course, the Q60. (Illustration above) (The current Q60 is just the old G37 ) The big news is that it will use Mercedes engines. At least the 2.0 Liter and the 3.0 Liter Turbo are boing test (By Mercedes) right now. I wonder if that… Continue reading 2017 Infiniti Q60
-
2017 Kia Codenza
An all new design is due out next year. (Although that stupid name will remain…) Looking good on these sketches (of course) Interior looks a bit plain. A slight step back. Just like the new Optima compared to the previous, more original, one. The current model seems to be a really nice car. But they… Continue reading 2017 Kia Codenza

2016 Audi Q7 starts at around $56 000.
Or, basically, about $6000 more than the much better looking previous generation. And, of course, no more diesel version for the US market. It is also about $5000 more than the new Volvo XC90. I am not a big fan of the new Volvo SUV. But the Q7 makes it look like Marilyn Monroe. I… Continue reading 2016 Audi Q7 starts at around $56 000.

2017 Mercedes SL
Looking all new from this picture, but it’s not. It’s just one of these “mid cycle revision”. At least it seems quite extensive. The whole front end looks brand new. I’ve always been a big fan of the SL. But the current version has to be the worse looking one of all. Displaying an amount… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes SL

Genesis G90 = All new Hyundai Equus
The Equus is dead, long live the Genesis G90. Hyundai has finally decided to see its luxury cars under another brand called Genesis. The new Equus will be the top go the line. Now called the Genesis 90. It will be joined by the “face lifted” Genesis sedan” and the all new coupe. As well… Continue reading Genesis G90 = All new Hyundai Equus

2017 Cadillac XT5
Basically the all new SRX. With a new name. And it is looking quite nice. Making the new Lexus RX (Probably its main competition) look even weirder than it is. The interior isn’t really original. But from these early pictures, it does look quite upscale. And again, more mainstream than the bizarro RX. Which could… Continue reading 2017 Cadillac XT5

Range Rover Evoque convertible.
Yes, this is for real. Pretty much the same car as the concept we saw a while ago. Back then, reactions went from “WTF” to “why?”. Which, I guess, will be the same for the production version. I mean, I do like the Evoque a lot. And I love convertibles. But tall/SUV based convertibles never… Continue reading Range Rover Evoque convertible.

All new Mazda CX-9
Even though it still looks really good, the current CX-9 has been in production for 9 years. Yes, 9 years! So a new one is due. Really. And, from that (exaggerated) sketch, it looks like another winner for Mazda. It will probably dump the V6 for a turbo 4. Or at least a large 2.5… Continue reading All new Mazda CX-9
