  • 2019 Subaru Forester teaser

    I have to admit, I had completely forgotten about the Forester… But I guess there is an all new one on the way. March 28th exactly. Subaru sold over 177 000 of them last year. Quite a lot for a small company. So don’t expect anything drastic with the new one.

  • New Opel Corsa sedan

    The small Corsa is usually a hatchback only. 2 and 4 door. But it looks like the next generation will be offered as a sedan as well. At least in some markets. (It won’t be a small Buick for China, since Opel is not owned by GM anymore, but Peugeot.) The next Corsa is late as… Continue reading New Opel Corsa sedan

  • 2019 Toyota RAV-4

    The all new RAV-4 is expected to resemble the FT-AC concept from last year (Bottom pic) And it already does in the teaser released today. This is a great design direction for the RAV-4. Bringing its visual personality closer to the 4 Runner is a good idea. It will make the RAV-4 stand out among… Continue reading 2019 Toyota RAV-4

  • Should Geely buy Chrysler?

    We now know that Geely made an offer to buy FCA a few weeks ago. Before investing billions in Daimler. Apparently, this time, crazy Sergio didn’t want to sell. Why? Probably because he thinks FCA might be worth more next year. Which means more money in his pocket. Either way, let’s take a look at… Continue reading Should Geely buy Chrysler?

  • 2019 Acura RDX teaser

    The teaser is the white one on top. Bellow are pictures of the concept. As we already know, the concept was a very accurate preview of the production model. Which is good. As it was generally very well received.  The teaser shows the A-Spec sport version. If priced right, (bellow the German competition) this could… Continue reading 2019 Acura RDX teaser

  • 2019 Volvo S60

    I have been a big fan of recent Volvo designs. But this is just not that great. Maybe better pictures will look better (?) But so far, as I mentioned before, the good looking S90 design doesn’t look that great when shrunk to the S60 size. The 40 series already looks much more original with… Continue reading 2019 Volvo S60

  • Tata EVision Concept

    Another new concept car with the word “vision” in its name… This time from Indian manufactured Tata. (Owner of Jaguar and Land Rover) Nothing earth shattering here. (And no specs. Except it being an EV) But I think it does have a nice pleasant shape. Nothing super original. But this would make a very nice… Continue reading Tata EVision Concept

  • Movies for a rainy week end…

    Not sure where you are (Where are you???), but here in L.A, it is raining. And will be for a while… That can only mean one thing: perfect time to catch up on a few “BurlappVision” car movies. All from my Youtube page. All right HERE. 

  • Unicorn test drive coming up…

    This week, I am driving what I assume is a very rare version of a quite popular car. (The sold over 184 000 of them last year) Just wondering if anyone here could guess what it is. What car and exactly what version….

  • 2019 Nissan Altima Teaser

    Nissan just released this first official teaser illustration for the next Altima. The usual, overdone, exaggerated illustration everyone is doing these days. It looks quite angular and aggressive. And very close to the concept we saw a couple of years ago. Which is fine. Although we have seen many pictures of the next Altima driving… Continue reading 2019 Nissan Altima Teaser

  • 2019 Volvo S60 sedan

    This is our very first look at the all new 2019 S60. The sedan version of the V60 wagon we just saw. And I must say, I am a bit disappointed. People were already saying the V60 is just a smaller V90 But this really looks like a clumsy, smaller S90. That C pillar doesn’t… Continue reading 2019 Volvo S60 sedan

  • 2019 Kia K900 teasers

    Even in these exaggerated illustrations, it already looks… Blah. Boring or super conservative. The recipe for a big, expensive,  semi-German looking sedan from an inexpensive brand has not work too well for Kia so far. As they sold only 54 of them last year. Its best year was 2015 with 2524. (Genesis sold 4398 units… Continue reading 2019 Kia K900 teasers
