New SAABs coming ?
Saab’s new Chinese owner, NEVS, has just come up with a plan for the swedish zombie car maker. First, they still want to keep producing an updated version of the old 9-3. A car that came out about 13 years ago. So good luck with that. NEVS claims that model will “generate the cash it… Continue reading New SAABs coming ?

BMW 1 series
As you can see, the upcoming small 1 series sedan will stay pretty close to the “Compact Sedan Concept” we saw just a few weeks ago. Which is fine. It will compete with the boring A3 and the “almost weird” CLA. So this might fit right in between. Being based on the same platform as… Continue reading BMW 1 series

VW new Electric Concept
Yes, another concept from VW. Not a production car. It seems they have no problem showing us tons of concepts every year. Their problem is, (Besides cheating on diesel emissions) actually coming up with new production models. The last one we saw was the new Tiguan. (And God only knows when that will come to… Continue reading VW new Electric Concept

2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid price
The all new Malibu hybrid will start at $28 645. Not that cheap. But it is not available as a base model. Only as a well equipped LT model. Which then makes it “only” about $2700 more than the regular non-hybrid Malibu LT. It does get amazing mileage for a mid size car. (It is… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid price

All new Hyundai EQ900/Genesis G90
The one pictured here is the Korean Version, the EQ900. So there might still be some small differences with our Genesis G90. It looks OK. Maybe it’s more impressive in person. But it still has that “a few years ago” feeling to it. A few steps behind the best. It does look better than the… Continue reading All new Hyundai EQ900/Genesis G90

Mazda Koeru = Mazda CX-6/7?
Mazda just announced there will be a production version of the really good looking Koeru concept. Which, we already knew, since these spy shots have been around for a while. As you can see, It’ll stay really close to the concept. Mazda is aiming right at the Subaru Outback with this one. Someone for people… Continue reading Mazda Koeru = Mazda CX-6/7?

2017 Mercedes E-Class
First official picture of the all new E-class. As predicted, it is a mix of C and S-class. The wide screen seems better integrated than in the C-class. As it doesn’t feel so much like a tablet anymore. The current model starts at about $52 000 in the US. So this sits on top of… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes E-Class

Citroen E-Mehari
I think this is great! I mean really. Finally, Citroen is coming up with a modern version of the cool old Mehari from the 60’s. And it’s Electric! Of course. Which makes it the perfect 21st Century Mehari. It even gets up to 125 Miles on a charge. Which is more than other more expensive… Continue reading Citroen E-Mehari

Hyundai IONIQ
We finally get to see something official about the all new Hyundai Prius competitor. This does look more interesting than the camouflaged cars we have seen. And, a thousand times nicer than the horrific new Prius. (Which is even much worse in real life) I think there is a huge opportunity for Hyundai here. As… Continue reading Hyundai IONIQ

How about some AMC Pacer ads.
Not much going on today. So why not some cool 7’s Pacer ads. I was watching an old tim, from 1977, and the main character was driving one. New of course. And it reminded me of how cool I always thought it was . (Especially the original design. Before they added a chrome grille to… Continue reading How about some AMC Pacer ads.

2017 Buick Envision
Nothing “all new” since this has been on sale in China for a while. We now know that the US version will get the 2.0 Liter Turbo with 252HP. With a 6 speed auto (Where is GM’s new 8 speed?) It is based on the same platform as the new Cadillac XT5. And, I must… Continue reading 2017 Buick Envision

Hollywood sight
I saw this in the streets a few days ago. Just south of Sunset Blvd. A very rare, but sad sight indeed. An old Lotus Elite. Hadn’t seen one in… well, I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen one in real life. It was produced from 1974 to 1982. This one has the side markers,… Continue reading Hollywood sight

Volvo S90 VS.Jaguar XF
I keep comparing the 2 cars. I know… But, to me, they are both shocking in their own way. The S90 interior is shocking because it is so great. And coming from such a “blah brand” like Volvo. A brand that most people had written off. A brand that is not associate with style. The… Continue reading Volvo S90 VS.Jaguar XF

BMW i5
BMW is supposed to add an all new i5 model to its hybrid/electric line up. And it could be as soon as late next year. It is supposed to be based on a longer version of the carbon fiber (expensive) i3 platform. Therefore sharing some of the cost of the i3. The larger model will… Continue reading BMW i5
