• 2018 Mitsubishi Expander

    Here are better and official pictures of the all new Mitsubishi Expander. Which is not coming to the US. This will stay mostly in a few Asian countries. It has a small 1.5 Liter engine and seats up to 7 people. (must be great uphill…) Mitsubishi has a long tradition of cool, small and roomy… Continue reading 2018 Mitsubishi Expander

  • 2019 Nissan Altima

    So it looks like the next generation Altima will look even more like the current Maxima (bottom pic) I am not sure this is such a great idea, unless Nissan wants to kill the Maxima.The Altima is a fine sedan (test drive HERE), but the Maxima is excellent. A much nicer car to drive. (test drive HERE) It… Continue reading 2019 Nissan Altima

  • 2018 VW Touareg

     We all know a new Touareg is coming out soon. So here it is. Looking very close to the T-Prime concept. Since they kept the T-Roc name for their upcoming compact SUV, I wonder if they will also retire the Touareg name and replace it by “T-Prime”. (???) The current Touareg has been retired from… Continue reading 2018 VW Touareg

  • 2018 Acura RLX. (WHY???)

    The horror…. I mean really, just stare at that front end for a minute. What is going on at Acura???? No one actually realizes Acura has this large sedan called the RLX for sale anymore. No one. That thing needs to either die, or be completely redesigned. Crafting a horrible grille on the old design… Continue reading 2018 Acura RLX. (WHY???)

  • 2018/19 Toyota RAV-4

    Sorry for such a blurry pic. But that is supposed to be the next RAV-4. (Was sent to me from Europe) The RAV-4 is a huge deal for Toyota. More so than ever. A couple of years back, some Toyota Exec hinted their compact crossover model might become actually more popular than the Camry. They… Continue reading 2018/19 Toyota RAV-4

  • 2018 Audi Q8

    The top car is the real thing. Looking very close to the concept (bottom) You can still see some camouflage on the tail lights. Also a piece covering the top of the bumper, hiding the fake vents on the edge of the lights. Still, this looks pretty nice. Since it is called a “Q8”, it… Continue reading 2018 Audi Q8

  • 2018 Toyota Supra

    The top picture is the real thing. The red car is the 2014 FT1 concept. So basically, it took 4 years… And thank God the ghastly looking concept has been toned down quite a bit for production. As we all know, it is based on the same platform as the next BMW Z4 (in what… Continue reading 2018 Toyota Supra

  • Chevrolet Equinox RS

    And why not… A sportier version of the new Equinox, with black wheels and zero chrome. Chevrolet is already offering a Diesel option on the Equinox. (Something maybe 5 people will ever actually buy in the US.) So why not a “sporty” one. Not sure if it will come with a more powerful version of… Continue reading Chevrolet Equinox RS

  • 2018/19 Mercedes A-Class

    The all new A-Class hatchback is coming out in Europe in April 2018. But so far, this is still not for the US. Instead, we will be getting the sedan version. Of course. (Because the sedan market is so hot right now…) The new CLA will actually be just a hatchback version of the sedan.… Continue reading 2018/19 Mercedes A-Class

  • 2020 VW Golf

    The Golf just got some changes for the 2018 model year. So this would not come out before 2020. I would think… These are just speculative illustrations. Of course. And I really hope the real think does look better. I mean this is barely different than what we have now. The 2018 Jetta might look… Continue reading 2020 VW Golf

  • 2018 Nissan Leaf

    Looks like more spy shots from the factory floor. This time it is the new 2018 Nissan Leaf. Completely uncovered. (Although it looks like the white car still has some stuff covering the tail lights.) Looking sharper than the current model. Not as “lumpy”. And I guess this time the Leaf does fit better within… Continue reading 2018 Nissan Leaf

  • 2018 VW Jetta

    This is the all new VW Jetta for 2018. (Or 2019??) We will see the real thing this fall, probably at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The Jetta has always been a big deal for VW in the US. Although now, the new Tiguan and upcoming T-Roc might overshadow it in our current SUV crazy… Continue reading 2018 VW Jetta

  • New Byd Song Max

    I remember seeing pictures of a Bad Van concept that looked really good last year. I guess this is the production version, and it still looks really nice. (Designed by Wolfgang Egger, who was previously head of Audi design.) As nice as anything we have over here at least. Inside and out. It doesn’t look… Continue reading New Byd Song Max

  • Friday night Burbank time machine.

    The good old Bob’s big boy in Burbank is always a good place to be on Friday night. These are just a few things I noticed. A wonderful time machine….

  • VW Golf Test Drive

     After a GTI, I was curious to see how the “regular” Golf was. Sure, the GTI is a great car, and very fast. But the base Golf is almost $6000 less…. The Golf is available in limited choices in the US. Only one engine. And just 2 models that aren’t that different. The one I… Continue reading VW Golf Test Drive

  • 2018 Mazda CX-8

    I posted a picture of the CX-5 to show how similar it is to the new CX-8. Not the CX-9, like some sites are mentioning. The new CX-8 is a 7 seat version of the CX-5, not a slightly shorter version of our CX-9. And it is strictly for Japan. Since it is a smaller… Continue reading 2018 Mazda CX-8

  • 2018 VW T-Roc

    The all new T-Roc is just around the corner. This will be a big seller for VW. I just saw the new Tiguan on the road yesterday, and it is now pretty big. (But also looking much nicer in the flesh than in pictures) I think the smaller and much cooler looking T-Roc will be… Continue reading 2018 VW T-Roc
