2019 AMG-GT 4 Door
This is not really a four door version of the AMG GT coupe Instead, it is more like a fastback/hatch version of the new CLS. Which is fine. But calling it “AMG GT” will allow Mercedes to charge a lot more that they should for the car… Here is the interior. About 100% the same… Continue reading 2019 AMG-GT 4 Door

2019 Kia Cee’d
Here is the interior of the all new Kia Cee’d. Which we are not getting in the US. Since we get the Forte instead. Not sure why, but again, the Cee’d seems to have a completely different interior.

Tata 45X Concept
I usually don’t post much about concepts that are too far removed from reality. But I really like the design of this one. Not too far fetch, yet really modern. With very nice proportions. I think this would make a great hatchback car. The concept is about the same size as a VW Golf. Tata… Continue reading Tata 45X Concept

2019 VW Arteon (US)
We finally get to see the US version of the Arteon. Which is, as expected, the same car that came out in Europe last year. It has the same interior as the European Passat. So nothing new here at all.

2019 Kia Sportage
There is an all new Kia Sportage coming out. In China… As you can see, it is not at all the one we are getting in the rest of the world.

2019/20 Mercedes S-Class
So far, the silhouette looks very close to the current model. Which is expected. Since these don’t change shape too much. Expect a design similar to the new CLS and A-Class. Which means very simple looking sides. (none of the deep lines/creases from the current design) And a cleaner front end. For decades, Mercedes used… Continue reading 2019/20 Mercedes S-Class

2019 Kia Cee’d interior
From the spy pictures above, it looks like the new Kia Cee’d for Europe will have a totally different interior from the new Forte. Strange, since this time, the Forte and Cee’d will share their exterior design. The Cee’d now being a hatchback version of the Forte design . (The hatchback version we have here… Continue reading 2019 Kia Cee’d interior

This already looks much more impressive and distinctive than the current model. The interior is also a big step up. Now looking much more premium. Not many specs are available. Except the size.
