The 2018 Lexus NX new face.
I guess. There are some differences. But this is so slight, I’m not even sure current owners will notice. This is pretty ridiculous. I mean I know the “mid cycle facelift” is some kind of a tradition in the car business. But really. In this particular case: why bother????

Honda CR-V Hybrid coming to the US.
When asked about their plans to add hybrid versions to all their SUVS, here is what the Honda guys were saying at the Shanghai Auto Sho: “CR-V is a logical part of that, and we will announce timing for the US at a later date” That’s PR BS code for ” it’s coming to America”.… Continue reading Honda CR-V Hybrid coming to the US.

2018 Genesis G80 Sport
I am not really interested in the sport version of that Genesis G80 sedan, to tell you the truth. But actually fascinated by that horrible plastic cover for the front radar. It’s that rectangular piece of plastic behind the grille. The one that doesn’t match the rest of the grille. The one that still has… Continue reading 2018 Genesis G80 Sport

New 5 seater Honda SUV coming out soon?
This is the latest rumors. From a lot of different sites. (Not sure where it started). Many call it a shorter 5 seater version of the Pilot. The scary part of this is the fact they already have a 5 seater SUV above the CR-V. In China. It is called the Avancier. And it is… Continue reading New 5 seater Honda SUV coming out soon?

More pictures of the Chinese Hyundai iX35
Not sure what else to say than : please keep it over there. The shape is kind of weird and old looking. That huge chrome grille is the epitome of vulgarity. This needs to never make it over here. And let’s hope this isn’t Hyundai’s new “design language” for their upcoming SUVs….

2018 Acura TLX LWB
The long version is (obviously) the red one at the bottom. Acura has not said how much longer is the Chinese version. But it does look quite different. Much more so than on the Volvo S90, where it’s hard to see the LWB difference from outside. This one does alter the roof design quite a… Continue reading 2018 Acura TLX LWB

2018 Buick regal sedan for China
This is the sedan version of the new Opel Insignia. The one most people (including myself), predicted would become the US version. Instead, as we now know, we are only getting the hatchback and wagon version. This the hatchback (For Europe and the US) As you can see, GM did a great job at “hiding”… Continue reading 2018 Buick regal sedan for China

All new Hyundai iX35 for China
There is an all new ix35 from Hyundai. But this is apparently for the Chinese market only. In the past, the ix35 was pretty much the same car as the Tucson. And it still is. At least in Europe. So I am not sure if this is a preview of the next Tucson. Which would… Continue reading All new Hyundai iX35 for China

Chevrolet Fnr-X Concept
The new Fnr-X ( can you believe “fnr” actually stands for “find new roads”!!) is a really nice looking design. At first I was wondering why this didn’t become the new Equinox?? Then I read it is a plug-in Hybrid. So it might very well be based on the Volt. An SUV based on the… Continue reading Chevrolet Fnr-X Concept

Toyota “Fengchao Fun” Concept
Fun… Okay…. This is supposed to be a preview for an upcoming Toyota sedan for the Chinese market. It is also based on the US Camry platform. But it doesn’t really look like the Camry to me. At all. I just wonder if this might also be a preview of the next Avalon. Since the… Continue reading Toyota “Fengchao Fun” Concept

2018 Opel/Vauxhall Grandland X
This is the second Opel SUV in just a few months. And just like the smaller Crossland X, it is based on a common Opel/Peugeot platform. This larger one is also being used for the Peugeot 3008 and the all new Citroen C5 Aircross. Of the 3 cousins, this is the most boring. It’s not… Continue reading 2018 Opel/Vauxhall Grandland X

Jeep Yuntu Concept
Well, that ends up looking like a pure concept. Nothing more. Not like a realistic preview of anything coming up soon. Though the one thing they need is a new Grand Cherokee. Not just more and more power squeezed into it. But let’s enjoy what’s good. And this looks fine and modern…

VW ID Cross Concept
Another EV concept from the VW group. And it looks similar to the other two from Audi and Skoda. A raised up 4 door hatchback. And again, the same 500km range on one charge. I guess why not. The more the better? At least they all look good. But, while the Audi version looks pretty… Continue reading VW ID Cross Concept

Mercedes A Class Sedan Concept
So this is supposed to show us Mercedes’s brand new design direction. I don’t get it… I don’t see anything new here. At all. It’s not ugly at all. It’s even nice. But not new. It is a blend of what they already have. From the back it looks like a mix of CLA and… Continue reading Mercedes A Class Sedan Concept
