2019 BMW 8 series.Camouflaged prototype VS.Concept
There is still a bit of clever camouflage on the prototype shown above. (And HERE) Still, you can tell it lost a lot in the translation. Especially up front. Sure, the bumper is still covered, but you can tell the grille isn’t slanted backward as much as on the concept. Which was one of its… Continue reading 2019 BMW 8 series.Camouflaged prototype VS.Concept

More pix of the Lamborghini Urus
I think they did a great job with this. Exactly what it is supposed to be. It does share its platform with the new Porsche Cayenne…

All new Lamborghini Urus SUV
Of course this is overdone. But I think in general, recent Lamborghini designs have been much nicer looking that the vulgar stuff Ferrari has been putting out. This is a crazy car. A 641HP jacked up 4 door/4 seater hatchback with AWD. The exterior design is of course a production version of the really good… Continue reading All new Lamborghini Urus SUV

All new Kia Stinger already available for $299 a month.
This actually sounds like a really good deal. The all new Stinger is a great looking car. has been getting very good reviews already. It is very roomy and the hatchback is fantastic. So $299 for a $32 000 car seems really good. If you are willing to live with very limited choices the base… Continue reading All new Kia Stinger already available for $299 a month.

Audi Q5 L
I mentioned the long wheelbase version of the Audi Q5 a few days ago HERE. Now there is a picture of the interior. And it does look quite roomy back there. Of course, this is for the Chinese market only so far. I just wonder how long it will take for everyone to import all… Continue reading Audi Q5 L

Auto Show notes: Free food & Booze
Yes, this cannot be ignored. The perks of the auto shows press days. The satisfaction of excellent free food (actually tricky to find) and free booze all day. Infiniti was not only offering amazing lunches, bit also Veuve Cliquot Champagne. Hyundai had a giant party after the show. And even the Grand Tour TV show… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Free food & Booze

Auto Show notes: Mazda Vision Coupe concept
I was all ready to sit in the 2018 Mazda6 and take some pictures. But it was not possible while I was there (The previous day either, since it was too busy on that platform) Since they were working out some stuff on the platform. So Instead I just took some pix of that amazing… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Mazda Vision Coupe concept

C8 Chevrolet Corvette Illustration
I guess some people think the next generation Mid Engine Corvette will look like this. Let’s hope not! This would be the laziest design ever. Just a mid engine version of the current car. I am not even sure why the Corvette needs to get a mid engine architecture now, after all these years. It… Continue reading C8 Chevrolet Corvette Illustration

Auto Show notes: Alfa Romeo Giulia
Not an all new car of course. But I have barely seen 2 or 3 in the streets… Not sure if that master plan from Crazy Marchionne is working. The one where Alfa was finally going to take on Audi, Mercedes and BMW in the US…. I do like the double sunroof. It’s not unique,… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Alfa Romeo Giulia

Trumpchi GM8 Minivan
“Trumpchi” is another one of these Chinese brand who claims they will enter the US market “soon”. We’ll see. So far they do have a couple of interesting SUVs. They have already mentioned they would change the company name before landing in the US. As many might not want a car from a brand basically… Continue reading Trumpchi GM8 Minivan

Auto Show notes: 2018 Buick Regal
Another car I was actually curious about was the new Buick Regal. The US version of the Opel Insignia. As I have always been a big fan of the previous generation. In person, it seems to be a nice upgrade. The interior feels and looks great. (They should put that dashboard in the Cascada pronto)… Continue reading Auto Show notes: 2018 Buick Regal

Auto Show notes: Bollinger EV
As expected, this also looks great in the flesh. it is good to see something that is retro, simple yet actually pretty futuristic and full of new ideas. The packaging is pretty amazing. They use every available bit of space. This is really the truck of the future, all wrapped up in a macho retro… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Bollinger EV

Auto Show notes: Kia Stinger
One car that does NOT disappoint is the all new Kia Stinger. Everything looks really nice inside. And the super solid feel of everything came as a surprise. (Doors feel like a tank) I think everything looks and feels better than in the BMW 4 series I drove a few months ago. The back seat… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Kia Stinger

Auto Show notes: Nissan Kicks
This doesn’t really look better in person. A huge step back from the Juke. It was designed and engineered a coupe of years ago for a country where cars have to be far less expensive than here (Brazil) and it shows. But I also hear the Kicks isn’t actually replacing the Juke. It is positioned… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Nissan Kicks

Auto Show notes: Light woods.
The interior of every version of the Mercedes E-Class is quite amazing. My favorite versions are the ones with that really light natural wood finish. It looks and feels like unfinished wood to the touch. Quite amazing and beautiful in real life. (As he should since the convertible version pictured above is around $70 000)… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Light woods.

Auto Show notes: belong the grille with the Lincoln Nautilus
If you look beyond the vulgar Continental chrome grille forced onto the MKX design, the Nautilus is quite nice. Just like the MKX was. Especially inside. It is still one of my favorite SUV interior. To me, this is basically what the current generation Lexus RX should have been. Modern and tasteful. (The current RX… Continue reading Auto Show notes: belong the grille with the Lincoln Nautilus
