New Fiat 600 coming up?
No it’s not. These are just some designer idea of what a modern 600 could look like. I think it’s really nice. I also think the current 500 is getting really long in the tooth, (it was introduced in Europe 10 years ago!) and a new one that would include a 4 door 600 version… Continue reading New Fiat 600 coming up?

More pictures of the Citroen C5 Aircross
Fantastic. And again: Exactly what a Citroen should be. This is a blend of super modern and fun. Like a bigger, more upscale Cactus. (Which I had the pleasure of test driving HERE) Such a great job. Congratulations to their design departments! And all the smart and creative suits who agreed and pushed this one through!

2018 Audi A8. And the slow evolution of the Audi A8…
This is the all new Audi A8. A totally invisible , yet very expensive, car. This is the kind of car you see as “generic car” in various architecture renderings. Sure, it’s not ugly. But really. For the price, wouldn’t you want something a little special? I guess most people don’t…. Just as a reminder:… Continue reading 2018 Audi A8. And the slow evolution of the Audi A8…

2018 VW Phideon GTE
VW introduced the Phideon in China over a year ago. And it has been a flop so far. Sales have never gone over 1000 units a month. (200/month so far for 2017) The answer? A plug-in hybrid version ! The electrified model only gets about 31 miles electric. Not that great, but still comparable to… Continue reading 2018 VW Phideon GTE

2018 Chinese Buick Regal
There will be, after all, a sedan (non hatchback) version of the new Buick Regal. But so far, only for China. (A good thing) The model pictured above looks to be a sporty version. With terrible black wheels. Horrific side skirts, and weirdo lower bumper air intakes. The rear bumper is also ruined. The new… Continue reading 2018 Chinese Buick Regal

2018 Lincoln Navigator interior
I just wonder what happened to the really cool steering wheel concept design (Top pic) Otherwise, I must say, they stayed pretty close. I mean it is not as good and classy as last year’s concept, for sure. (Just look at the door panels.) Everything seems to be a heavy handed version of the concept.… Continue reading 2018 Lincoln Navigator interior

Nissan Pao
I love these early 90’s Nissans. They made only a few thousands of these, and pretty much only for Japan. (Although a few, obviously, found homes overseas) This Pao reminds me of older European small and simple cars like the Citroen 2CV or Renault 4. They also made a cool super mini delivery van call… Continue reading Nissan Pao

“New” Mercedes S-Class interior
No, it’s not really new. The only differences I can see are the new steering wheel. And the 2 screens have merged into one. Just like in the E-Class. Otherwise, there is so much technology that the car now can almost drive itself. Which I really don’t care about. The S-Class is of course a… Continue reading “New” Mercedes S-Class interior

2018 Volvo S90 sedan.
What is this? Already? The all new 2017 S90 is barely here, and here comes the “longer” 2018? Yes. Because now, the US will be getting all their S90 models from the Chinese factory. Not from Sweden anymore. The one made in China is the longer wheelbase version. And it will be the only one… Continue reading 2018 Volvo S90 sedan.

Already more pictures of the Citroen C5 Aircross!
This is the perfect design for a Citroen SUV. Original and fun. Apparently, it is based on the Peugeot 3008. And I think it looks much better than the Peugeot version. Which seems very square, with too many busy details and plastic looking chrome. I think this is great. PSA claims it will take them… Continue reading Already more pictures of the Citroen C5 Aircross!

Citroen C5 Aircross
At least, this looks quite original. (I really love that side window design.) This will be unveiled very soon at the Shanghai Auto Show. So you know what the largest market for this is… I am sure it will find its way to Europe soon. And maybe in the US. Since PSA is starting up… Continue reading Citroen C5 Aircross

What is that???
This was sent to me by a “contant reader” of the site. The picture was taken in Europe. And the car had German plates. To me, it looks like an upcoming BMW SUV. Since they all look the same, it’s hard to tell which one. The X2 is supposed to be a bit sleeker and… Continue reading What is that???

That little 2018 Kia Rio is quite a disappointment …
It was obvious when they showed us the European version a few months ago: the new one is a step back. But this US version seems even worse. I guess because it won’t have cool options like larger wheels, sunroof etc… This just looks cheap. I think it is a huge step back for the… Continue reading That little 2018 Kia Rio is quite a disappointment …

Genesis GV80 Concept
Well, another pretty nice looking concept from Hyundai/Genesis. But I can’t help but being a little bit bored. Since we all know that Hyundai has never, ever produced anything close to any of their concepts. Genesis showed us a great looking concept coupe a couple years ago. It did NOT become their big sedan. From… Continue reading Genesis GV80 Concept

New Jeep Concept for the Shanghai auto show
Guess these are the official sketches of the stuff that was floating around a few days ago. Which I had posted HERE and HERE. Or is this an actual production model? A preview of the Grand Wagoneer? Whatever it is, I think it looks really good. A truly modern Jeep design. Right?

2018 VW Atlas and Tiguan: 6 year warranty!
That’s right. VW has announced it will offer a 6 year warranty on the 2018 Atlas and 2018 Tiguan. It is a complete bumper to bumper warranty for 6 years or 72 000 miles. It is also transferable to the next owner. Wow… I think this is a great move from VW. Everyone is, of… Continue reading 2018 VW Atlas and Tiguan: 6 year warranty!

2018 Hyundai Sonata (US version)
Looking really good. A few changes here and there, and it really does look better and more upscale. Actually now, it looks like a larger Elantra, more than before…. The only downside seems to be the lack of that glass roof option. None of the official shots how it for 2018. So I guess it’s… Continue reading 2018 Hyundai Sonata (US version)

New BYD SUV/Concept coming up?
Remember THIS from a few days ago? Looks like the pictures above are of that same car. So it turns out to be a new Chinese BYD model. Maybe even the second generation Tang Plug-In SUV. (The one Leonardo DiCaprio is advertising) In my previous post, it was mistaken for a Lexus, Toyota and a Hyundai. Which… Continue reading New BYD SUV/Concept coming up?

Honda Clarity Electric and Plug-In Hybrid
The pure Electric version is the blue car. The Green one is the plug-in. The plug-in will get a 42 miles EV range. (Total of over 330 miles range) Which is pretty good. Not as good as the Volt, but much better than the Fusion. While Honda has not disclosed the total range of the… Continue reading Honda Clarity Electric and Plug-In Hybrid

2018 Lincoln navigator Vs. 2016 Concept.
At first, the production model would seem very close to the concept. It is… But the concept was actually a much better, more mature design. Much simpler too. The detailing on the production truck is very busy. Which makes it much cheaper looking. For instance, they could have kept the profile the same. With maybe… Continue reading 2018 Lincoln navigator Vs. 2016 Concept.
