New BMW 5 series quick drive.
After the 3 and 4 series, I got the chance to try out the all new 5 series. A larger and even more expensive model. Yet, as you can see, it looks 100% invisible. To most people, it looks like the previous model. Or “a BMW” . Of course. (And that’s why people buy them…)… Continue reading New BMW 5 series quick drive.

Let’s meet again the new (Chinese) Ford Taurus.
Why not. Since our next Focus will be made in China, I was wondering if Ford was rethinking the idea of offering the new Taurus in the US. Yes, the “old” Taurus is still on sale in the US. At a starting price of $27 345. (About $1000 less than its closest competitor, the Chevrolet… Continue reading Let’s meet again the new (Chinese) Ford Taurus.

Weirdo cars…
First weirdo of the day is supposedly a prototype for the AMC Gremlin. I guess it could be. Although the rear part looks like something home made. This would have made the Gremlin even weirder than it was… Here is how the real thing turned out… This one is most certainly home made. By some… Continue reading Weirdo cars…

How about another spy photo of the 2018 Peugeot 508 ?
Why not. Unlike the 2018 Accord, the fastback 508 will actually be a real hatchback. Just like the new Opel Insignia/Buick regal. And it already looks much sleeker than the current generation. Which has always been weird looking to me. The strange BMW like cut for the rear trunk. The weird rear side window and… Continue reading How about another spy photo of the 2018 Peugeot 508 ?

2018 Nissan Leaf interior.
This is the first time we get to see the interior of the all new Nissan Leaf. And it’s fine. Nothing crazy. But nothing much more modern either. It’s just different. Maybe a little more grown up? Here is the current interior. Seems like all the switches under the screen are actually the same. Or… Continue reading 2018 Nissan Leaf interior.

2018 Jaguar E-Pace
Here is the first look at the production model of the all new E-Pace compact SUV from Jaguar. It looks fine. Not really great. Not much like a jaguar either, but that’s been the trend for years now. Jags not looking like Jags anymore. This is supposed to battle with the BMW X 3 or… Continue reading 2018 Jaguar E-Pace

Next 2019 Ford Focus will come from China
Ford has announced that the next Focus for the US market will be imported from China. Instead of Mexico as previously stated. Kind of a surprising move. But it’s basically all about money. And the new Ford management. It’s just cheaper to make it over there, period. They claim the Focus sales are shrinking in… Continue reading Next 2019 Ford Focus will come from China

NOT the 2018 VW Jetta
A few sites have posted pictures of the all new 2018 Jetta earlier today. (Pix HERE)Since we all know there is an all new one coming out very soon.The thing is, it doesn’t look like the Jetta.It’s also way too big for the Jetta. I posted a picture of the current US Passat under it so… Continue reading NOT the 2018 VW Jetta

2019 Toyota Prius C/Aqua Crosssover
Looks like Toyota will be offering a raised up “fake off road” version of the Prius C (Aqua in some markets) soon. The engine is still a hybrid with a 1.5 liter. Not sure if there is more power for the new year or not… This is pretty much what everyone is doing. If your… Continue reading 2019 Toyota Prius C/Aqua Crosssover

2018 Audi A8 teaser
Not even sure why there are teasers of the next A8. Since we all know what it looks like: a slightly squared off version of the current one. Nothing too modern, too fancy or too different. Again, the A8 will look like a big A4. So there it is. The headlight…

2018 Kia Stonic
That didn’t take long. Just after a few days, we get to see the Hyundai Kona’s cousin, the Kia Stonic. I know the pictures are pretty grainy, but still. Even sharper, they do look like the worst official car pix ever. Don’t they have any photo budget? (I mean can’t anyone do a better job… Continue reading 2018 Kia Stonic

2018 VW T-Rock
I am being told this is the real thing. So why not. It does look like it. Matches all the spy shots I could find etc… And just like the new Polo, it looks really good.. Being based on the Golf, it will be smaller and priced bellow the Tiguan. Which is good. The idiot… Continue reading 2018 VW T-Rock

2018 Honda Accord teaser.
Here is the very first official sketch (plus a brighter version) of the all new Accord. And it does look like what we saw in the prototype shots before: a larger Civic. Which is just fine, since the Civic has done very well for Honda. They sold over 366 000 last year. Which is more… Continue reading 2018 Honda Accord teaser.

2018 Cadillac XTS
I know most people don’t, but I’ve always liked the XTS. I also still think it looks better than the newer CT6. I do like the CT6 wide stance, but many bits of that design are just too odd and clunky. The car does not appear to have been ruined by that “facelift”. The headlights… Continue reading 2018 Cadillac XTS
