More pictures of the Toyota FT-4X Concept.
I really love this. A weird blend of the FJ Cruiser and Honda element. As it turns out, a production version of this would not be a replacement for the FJ Cruiser. Which was a real off road SUV sharing a platform with the 4 Runner. This new concept is based on the same platform… Continue reading More pictures of the Toyota FT-4X Concept.

Toyota FT-4X Concept
I like this. But I am also a bit disappointed… Since I really thought Toyota was going to show us what would become the next FJ Cruiser. And even though this looks fine and quite original, I just don’t think it will be produced. I mean, who knows. Why not. But I am really not… Continue reading Toyota FT-4X Concept

2018 Buick Enclave
This are the first official shots of the all new Buick Enclave. The one pictured here is the new top of the line “Avenir” version. Which includes high end stuff like “Evonik Acrylite exterior lighting”. (Sounds like the 21st Century equivalent of Coryinthian leather to me…Or a Klingon fast food chain. ) Which includes “the… Continue reading 2018 Buick Enclave

2018 Acura TLX
Look at this official picture of the 2018 model. They are really proud of that grille. Like they are saying: “See” We listen. We have a new one now”. I personally hate that new grille. It is totally uninspired. It just looks very old fashion to me. Like something from the 90’s. In a bad… Continue reading 2018 Acura TLX

2018 Buick Regal & Opel Insignia factory
Here is how the new Insignia, and its American cousin, the new 2018 Buick regal are built. Pretty fascinating. How it all starts with sheets of metal… The video is HERE.

2018 Lincoln Navigator
I just tweaked the official teaser from Lincoln. Which is so dark you can only guess the headlights. As you can see, and as predicted, the new Navigator will inherit the ugly new Lincoln grille. Of course. I really hope they don’t apply this terrible thing to their current lineup of really nice looking SUVs… Continue reading 2018 Lincoln Navigator

2018 VW T-Roc
The top picture is the production version.Still wearing quite a bit of clever misleading camouflage.The bottom picture is the 2 door concept. You can tell the headlights and grille are covered up. The real thing will look much more like the concept.The also put fake chrome bits on the bumper. (Probably covering round lights like… Continue reading 2018 VW T-Roc

How about more pictures of the new Toyota Yaris for China?
Yes, the Yaris is all new. In China. Not sure yet if this will ever translate into our next model or not. (Probably not…) It looks a little bit larger than the one we have here and in Europe. It’s not great. A lot of stuff is going on in that rear quarter view… But… Continue reading How about more pictures of the new Toyota Yaris for China?

2018 BYD Tang? Lexus SUV?
I was told this is the next version of the Chinese BYD Tang plug-in SUV. Yes, the one I posted about recently. The one Leonardo DiCaprio is advertising in China. The current model is only about 2 years old. So that seems pretty quick for an all new one. But it does look a lot… Continue reading 2018 BYD Tang? Lexus SUV?

2018 Mercedes S-Class interior
The “new” one is on top. As you can see, the mid-cycle refresh for the S-Class isn’t bringing that much new stuff to the big Mercedes sedan. The new steering wheel design seems to be the biggest change As well as the single screen. instead of two. New, different. Is it better. Probably not. No-one… Continue reading 2018 Mercedes S-Class interior

2018 Buick Regal/Opel Insignia hatchback
Since we now know our Buick Regal will also be a hatchback, I thought I would lost a few more pictures of the Opel version (Which is the same car) Showcasing the advantages of a hatchback. I think most people used to a regular sedan won’t be put off by the hatchback design. (Since it… Continue reading 2018 Buick Regal/Opel Insignia hatchback

BYD Tang plug-in Hybrid SUV: The DiCaprio Chinese car.
I just got a very sweet, polite and nice comment on my previous post about the BYD SUV and Leonardo DiCaprio: el_monty said… That car is BYD Tang, which is in fact a plug-in hybrid. Do your research! So here are the results of some “research”. The BYD Tang (Name was not obvious on the DiCaprio… Continue reading BYD Tang plug-in Hybrid SUV: The DiCaprio Chinese car.

Chevrolet FNR-X concept
This will be shown at the Shanghai auto show. So it could be a preview of a “China only” model. Maybe a new front end for the local version of the Chevrolet Volt? Who knows….

Infiniti QX80 Concept
Well, it looks like that Infiniti SUV concept is indeed a preview of the next QX80. It looks like quite a beast. Which, I guess is what people want in that segment? (Except for the Range Rover, which, somehow still manages to be quite understated and classy) I mean really, how big can you make… Continue reading Infiniti QX80 Concept

Leonardo DiCaprio sells BYD Chinese cars!
Remember back when US movie stars were doing “secret” work for local Japanese commercials. Like in the movie “Lost in translation”. I mean everyone was doing it! From Paul Newman to Peter Falk as Columbo for a Toyota. Well, here is what happens now. They are doing it for Chinese companies. I could never imagine… Continue reading Leonardo DiCaprio sells BYD Chinese cars!

Tesla Model 3. The production interior.
The top picture shows the actual production interior of the all new Model 3. As you can see, compared to the earlier prototype from last year (bottom pic), it is pretty much the same. With nicer, more luxurious trim. (Which could just be an option) So Tesla claims of a new larger trunk opening, a revised interior… Continue reading Tesla Model 3. The production interior.

2018 Peugeot 508
The current 508 was one of the most boring design to come out of Europe when it came out. And it almost looks weird and cheap in real life. There is really nothing there compared with older Peugeot sedans from “the old days”, back when Pininfarina was designing them. Some of their latest SUV designs… Continue reading 2018 Peugeot 508

Volvo XC60 Coupe
No. This is not a real thing. But I am sure some people at Volvo are trying to find ways to come up with more and more SUVs So why not a “coupe”. Like the BMW X4. Or the GLC from Mercedes. This illustration doesn’t look too bad. But it’s getting quite boring… I do… Continue reading Volvo XC60 Coupe

2018 Buick Velite
Well, the Chinese Buick Velite turned out to be just a Chevrolet Volt with a Buick logo on it. Which was pretty much expected. Except Buick had shown a really cool concept just a few months ago. So there was maybe some hope the Chinese Velite could be a new design. But no. Here is… Continue reading 2018 Buick Velite
