2016 VW Passat: “major facelift”
Another lie from VW: “the 2016 Passat is getting a major facelift”. More BS! All it is getting is a “regular” facelift! new hood, lights, grille, number etc…. Inside. Nothing really new. (“New” one on top). New trim, new wood color, details, that’s all. Same old looking interior. (It looked old a few years ago… Continue reading 2016 VW Passat: “major facelift”

Something you don’t see every day…
At least in the US. I was in Burbank yesterday when I saw this yellow Ford Ecosport. Which is sold pretty much around the world, but not in the US. I couldn’t tell if the plates were from Canada or Mexico? But it wasn’t a Michigan plate prototype. Too bad Ford isn’t selling this here.… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day…

2017 Buick Lacrosse
Looking good. If not great. (After showing us the Avenir concept last year, expectations are pretty high.) This looks like a big Insignia (Regal) Which is fine. It is quite a slick looking large car. There are already talks about using the same Hybrid system as the brand new Malibu. Which would then compete with… Continue reading 2017 Buick Lacrosse

More pictures of the redesigned 2016 Jaguar XF
Actually looking better in a classier color. (Although the profile is still more Subaru than Jaguar) I still don’t like the interior. The lower part of the console is fine, the rest doesn’t belong in a Jaguar. That vast, flat aluminum area covering most of the dash never looks good. In any car. And, in… Continue reading More pictures of the redesigned 2016 Jaguar XF

All new 2016 Honda Civic
Here is it, the all new Civic. The first thing I noticed was… the pictures!! And how bad they are! I mean really. A huge company like Honda cannot hire a decent photographer to launch one of their most important model ever???? Look at that super crappy photoshop job on the top 2 photos. This… Continue reading All new 2016 Honda Civic

2016 Renault Megane
We saw this car a few days ago. But I thought i’d post a few more pictures of it. It looks really nice! I mean this isn’t a luxury car. It is from a mainstream brand. Competing with the Golf. Nothing super fancy. Just something looking really good, classy, solid and tasteful. Meanwhile, in Toyotaworld,… Continue reading 2016 Renault Megane

Nissan Gripz Concept
I think this is actually pretty cool. I also think it is a preview of the next Juke. The problem is, many think it is a preview for the next Z. And, of course, this would be a nightmare. But I really can’t figure what anyone would think that. This is crazy. Nissan has said… Continue reading Nissan Gripz Concept

Better pictures of the new jaguar F-Pace
I think it looks much better in these pictures. Even the interior! What do you think???

All new Volvo S90
More pictures of the toy version of Volvo’s upcoming luxury sedan. The S90 will replace the old S80 next year. It is based on the all new XC90. And you can see the interior is also quite similar. Which is fine… But also not as striking as the interiors of the 3 concepts they had… Continue reading All new Volvo S90

Jaguar F-Pace
First. It is very hard to find good pictures of this car. Why would Jaguar release only weird, cheap looking pictures of such an important model.(?!?!?!) I mean look at the weird lights. The other pix show the car in red or blue, without the chrome surrounding the side windows (Which I think is a… Continue reading Jaguar F-Pace

Andi e-tron quattro Concept
So this is supposed to be the Tesla Model X fighter we’ve been hearing about. But, this is only a concept. And it looks like one. I really don’t think Audi has the guts to actually produce something like this. It makes the new Q7 looks even crappier than it is already. The stuff they… Continue reading Andi e-tron quattro Concept

Infiniti Q30
I really love this. This seems to be a no brainer for Infiniti in Europe. But more of a risk in the US. Our model will come only with the 2.0 Liter Turbo from Mercedes with 208HP. Europe gets Diesels and smaller gas engines. Let’s just hope they price it right. (Being an Infiniti, it… Continue reading Infiniti Q30

2017 VW Tiguan
So this is pretty handsome actually Like I mentioned before, a design that will last. Since it’s not trendy at all. Could be 2005, 2015 or 2020. The interior is surprisingly busy. VW has been showing us a design trend for the past years in their concepts (long lines, pretty flat simple dashes overall) ,… Continue reading 2017 VW Tiguan

All new VW Tiguan
All we can see now are these super exaggerated official sketches. The real thing will be the usual “VW Conservative” look. (Although that also means it will age quite well.) And, just like the Golf, it will be more of a real German car. Since the same version will be sold in Europe. (Even though… Continue reading All new VW Tiguan

All new Honda Civic
This is quite surprising. Even after seeing tons of spy shots, patent drawings etc… I think the new Civic looks very impressive. Some details are a bit much. Like busy bumper design, that chrome pice on the grille. But overall, this looks really good. And much more modern and upscale. There will be a coupe… Continue reading All new Honda Civic

2016 Prius VS. 2016 Volt: bathtub or no bathtub.
Just thought I would post this. Sure, so far, Toyota has only released horrible dark pictures of the new interior (Are they hiding us something?) But still. To me, the new Volt interior is light years ahead. (plus you are getting 50 miles of 100% EV!) And the Volt doesn’t have that weird/cheap looking/ugly bathtub/urinal… Continue reading 2016 Prius VS. 2016 Volt: bathtub or no bathtub.

Opel Astra Sports Tourer
Another fancy code word for “wagon”. The only compact wagon we are getting in the US is the Golf. Which has been getting great reviews. So, unless Buick decides to sell us a version of this as the Verano Wagon (which will never happen), we won’t be seeing this anytime soon.

Cadillac XT5
These are the first official pictures of the SRX replacement. The SRX has been quite a hit for Cadillac. Still selling over 53 000 units last year. (Although that is still about half of the Lexus RX sales. With over 107 000!) I think this looks really good. Much nicer than the CT6 sedan. The… Continue reading Cadillac XT5

New Hyundai Elantra
This is really not revolutionary . But quite handsome. Even the “meow boring” interior seems to work fine. This might definitely steal some sales from the new Civic which might prove to be too “crazy” for some. More and better pictures very soon.

2017 Chrysler minivan
I keep seeing these Chrysler minivans around. By now, there aren’t early mules anymore. (The front resembles the 200 sedan, a lot) It is supposed to be shown at the Detroit show in just a few months. But they still have these Dodge Durango tail lights on them. That’s pretty strange right? (Although not as… Continue reading 2017 Chrysler minivan
