  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 2017 Buick LaCrosse

     Here is the second official teaser for the all new LaCrosse. Looking quite slick. Good news since the current car has been around for a while. The new version of the 3.6 Liter V6 will be available. But I’m sure the 2.0 Liter Turbo will be the base engine. Since it is in the more… Continue reading 2017 Buick LaCrosse

  • Lexus LF-FC Concept

    This is supposed to preview the next LS sedan. It does look quite nice. Even with that (bigger than ever) giant mouth. Or maybe I am getting used to it after all these years… It actually is trying. Attempting to give a big sedan design some personality. Unlike the 7 series. Or the A8 (And… Continue reading Lexus LF-FC Concept

  • Nissan IDS Concept

    If you tone it down just bit. Add door handles. Get rid of the blue trim. It does look like it could be the next Leaf. (It probably is) This and the rumored “over 200 miles range” would be quite an improvement. And would sure make the next Leaf even more popular. As for the… Continue reading Nissan IDS Concept

  • Subaru Impreza Concept

    Looking fine. Nothing futuristic. Yet light years ahead of the 80’s looking designs Subaru is producing now. BUT…. Subaru has a horrible history of cool concepts that NEVER translate into production. And we have seen these cool tail lights before on at least 2 or 3 of their previous concepts. So who knows. maybe this… Continue reading Subaru Impreza Concept

  • New Nissan Concept.

    By most accounts, there should be an all new Nissan Leaf sometime next year. This new concept could be a preview. So far, we only have this small teaser. There are also rumors about a range of about 250 miles. Which would be quite an amazing improvement. And would actually match what Tesla is claiming… Continue reading New Nissan Concept.

  • 10.21.2015!!!

    30 years in the making, really. For those (like me) who saw the movie when it came out, this is quite amazing to just “be” today. Unlike the De Lorean, the Mirai does NOT have a great italian design that will look great in over 30 years. And it has about zero cool factor. But…… Continue reading 10.21.2015!!!

  • Lexus Luxury Concept

    Lexus will have a concept version of the next LS sedan at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Show. Which should be quite interesting. The big Lexus sedan is what started the brand in the US. Not it faces competition from new comers to the segment, like Kia and Hyundai. So this better be attractive… But unlike… Continue reading Lexus Luxury Concept

  • Volvo V90

     The S90 sedan isn’t even out yet, and we already get these pictures of the wagon version, the V90. It had been rumored for a while that Volvo will be getting a wagon version of their upcoming top of the line sedan. The car pictured here is, of course, a model. Probably by Norev (Like… Continue reading Volvo V90
