2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia
This is the “regular” 2.0 Liter Turbo version. Not the crazy Quadrifoglio one with 505HP that no one will buy. The one above is the one we’ll actually see in the streets. The same 2.0 Liter Turbo will be available in a bunch of versions, from 180HP all the way to 330HP. I think it… Continue reading 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia

All new VW Phideon
That is quite a surprise… An all new VW sedan. Positioned between the Passat and the “aging” Phaeton. For now, this is mostly for the Chinese market. Although it is presented at the Geneva auto show. Here are the official words from VW. Trying to explain the car: ” This innovative and luxurious four door… Continue reading All new VW Phideon

2017 Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet
Another great looking Mercedes! I really like the C-Class coupe. As it really does seem like a smaller S-Class coupe, especially in the flesh. And it inherit the great interior of the sedan. So, this is perfect. I think it might be one of the best looking convertible available. With that same great interior. What’s… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet

Subaru XV Crosstrek Concept
Just like the Crosstrek is a jacked up version of the current Impreza hatchback, this is based on the Impreza Concept we saw last year. So, still no production model. Subaru should hurry things up a bit. These concepts look fine, but are getting more and more conservative every month. By the time they get… Continue reading Subaru XV Crosstrek Concept

Aston Martin DB11
Once again, Aston Martin does not disappoint. This is a stunning looking car. As it should be. Not sure about the specs yet, but we are talking about a 5.4 Liter V12. So, plenty of power. And cachet. They took a few chances with the design, like their version of the currently popular “floating roof”.… Continue reading Aston Martin DB11

Chevrolet Volt test Drive. Part two.
Just a few notes for now. Small observations after a few days of driving. So far, the most annoying thing, to me, is the super cheap turn signal stalk. First, I don’t remember it was bad at all in the 1st generation. ( If I remember well, it was the same as in the Cruze… Continue reading Chevrolet Volt test Drive. Part two.

2017 Honda Civic Hatchback
We are supposed to see a “concept” version of the new Civic hatchback at the Geneva auto show, very soon. (which will have some over sporty bits and stuff) But this is supposed to be the production version for the US. Still looking quite nice. And ready to do battle with the aging Ford Focus… Continue reading 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback

2017 Toyota C-HR
After a few years of showing us cool concepts (even one as a Scion), Toyota is finally showing the production version of the small C-HR SUV/crossover thingy. Of course, development of this started back when the Nissan Juke was the only game in town. And it shows. Since, we now have more more tasteful design… Continue reading 2017 Toyota C-HR

Chevrolet Volt test drive. Part one.
I got the Volt yesterday. For a week. It had an EV range of 45 miles when delivered to me. (Not the full 53 I was hoping for…) Still, plenty for a few day-drives. I was curious about the gas mileage when the car is not in EV mode. So I used the “hold” mode,… Continue reading Chevrolet Volt test drive. Part one.

2017 Acura MDX
So far, the MDX has always looked pretty boring. And bloated. This teaser sketch shows the next one might be quite different. And with, finally, a new grille. (It took Honda so many years to admit they had a grille design nobody liked.) It looks quite busy, but could also be pretty interesting. We will… Continue reading 2017 Acura MDX

New Chevrolet Volt test drive coming up…
Just got it. For a whole week. Haven’t driven it yet. So go ahead if you guys have any questions. I was a big fan of the previous one, so I cannot wait to drive the new one.

2017 Hyundai Ioniq EV
Apparently, the “pure electric” version of the all new Hyundai Ioniq will be getting a 105 Miles range. Which puts is well bellow the all new Chevrolet Bolt. But on par with the new version of the Leaf which is rated at 107 Miles. The 105 miles rating is from the Korean version, so things… Continue reading 2017 Hyundai Ioniq EV

All new Renault Scenic
Another really good looking Renault. Looking almost futuristic. But at the same time, much mrs substantial than previous versions. This will compete in a hot segment in Europe. One that almost doesn’t exist here. Except maybe for the Ford C-Cmax. It could be a cool idea for Nisssan to get this over here. It wouldn’t… Continue reading All new Renault Scenic

Renault Megane Estate
Another really good wagon from Europe. But this time, unlike the Volvo V90, we are not getting it. The new Megane is a great looking “Golf size” hatchback. And the wagon version doesn’t disappoint either. Nissan has recently mentioned something about our next Sentra being offered here as a Hatchback. Maybe it’s time to bring… Continue reading Renault Megane Estate
