  • Buick Velite 6

     GM just unveiled a brand new model called the Velite 6 for the Chinese market. Where it will be sold as a Buick. The first picture on top show both versions. The plug-in hybrid as well as the pure EV. This is the production version of the 2016 concept in the picture bellow. Not sure… Continue reading Buick Velite 6

  • 2020/21 Lexus CT?

    Just when you though the new Lexus UX compact SUV was a replacement for the CT, we now have rumors of a next generation for 2020 or 2021. (The picture above is just an illustration) While the CT is not part of the US line up anymore, it is still sold in Europe. And it… Continue reading 2020/21 Lexus CT?

  • Geely/FCA “no deal”

    This was sent to me from Europe. Showing what I think is a Chinese Geely sedan, with a different grille. It does look like the Geely/FCA talks might have gone further that we though. As some of these Geely models would really make decent Chrysler cars.  Here is the Geely model. Which I think is… Continue reading Geely/FCA “no deal”

  • 2019 BMW X5

    BMW is starting a weird trend where they are now making their SUV grilles as big and obnoxious as possible. It will also be spreading to their cars. Like the “revised for 2019” 7 series sedan and the new 8 series coupe. It started with the nightmarish looking X7 concept last year. And its now… Continue reading 2019 BMW X5

  • New VW Lavida Wagon

    As mentioned earlier (HERE), the new VW Lavida for the Chinese market is a somewhat cheaper version of our new Jetta, based on the exact same platform. But as before, there will be a wagon. As previewed in these pictures.  So a Jetta wagon would look a lot like this if VW decided to build… Continue reading New VW Lavida Wagon

  • New Acura CDX Sport Hybrid

    I have written about the CDX before (HERE) This is, so far, an Acura model reserved for the Chinese market. But Acura did trademark the name in the US last January, so we might end up seeing this over here. It would compete with other small SUVS from Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc… As I… Continue reading New Acura CDX Sport Hybrid

  • 2019 Ford Focus Wagon

    Yes, the new Focus will still be available as a wagon in most countries. But not here. It looks pretty nice. Better than the sedan I think. And if ever sold here it would compete mainly with the VW Golf Wagon. They could even give it the “Active” treatment. (Although the Ford “Active” modes do… Continue reading 2019 Ford Focus Wagon

  • 2019 Lexus ES

    Here is the first official teaser of the all new Lexus ES for 2019. We have seen this front end before (HERE) . There shouldn’t be much surprises. Even though Lexus officially says: “Expect the unexpected”, about the new model. Unexpected would be a hatch. Which it won’t have. Or an EV, which it won’t… Continue reading 2019 Lexus ES

  • 2019 Audi A6 Avant

    I do like wagons a lot. But I am also not a big fan of Audi’s current designs. So I don’t think this is great at all. I don’t think this is better looking than a Mercedes E-Class wagon, at all. And the Volvo V90 is still 100 times nicer than this. In my opinion.… Continue reading 2019 Audi A6 Avant

  • 2019 Ford Focus Hatchback

     The all new Focus, just like the new Fiesta (The one we are not getting) will be offered in Europe as an “Active” version. A bit raised up and looking a bit like the Subaru Crosstrek. I think it is a good idea that works well on most hatchbacks. Europe is also getting the Luxury… Continue reading 2019 Ford Focus Hatchback

  • 2019 Ford Focus sedan

    Not much news about powertrains yet. But here is the sedan version of the all new Focus. It will come to the US from China. Not sure yet if we are getting the new hatchback as well or not. So far, the sedan looks pretty invisible. And actually old next to the current Civic. More… Continue reading 2019 Ford Focus sedan

  • All new VW Lavida

     The Lavida is basically a Chinese version of the Jetta. Has been for years. This all new one is actually called the “Lavida Plus”. Which could mean the old model will stay in production for some time. I think it actually looks more boring than our Jetta. Also cheaper. Especially inside. that interior is really… Continue reading All new VW Lavida

  • 2019 Lexus ES

     The popular Lexus ES is getting ready for an all new design. The usual “one year after a new Camry” schedule. As far as the weird grille goes, this one seems to be almost working. As the tip of the headlight does meet the “pinch” of the grille (It doesn’t in many other Lexus models)… Continue reading 2019 Lexus ES

  • 2019 Chevrolet Camaro

    Just like with the 2019 Cruze and Malibu, Chevrolet has only released a few pictures. And no interior shot… The Camaro is getting two front ends. One for the V6 and Turbo4 while the V8 versions get a larger grille. And they finally made the tail lights look like Camaro lights. With 4 really cool… Continue reading 2019 Chevrolet Camaro

  • Some new Jeep Wrangler version???

    Not sure why Jeep would still test the Wrangler with some camouflage on it. It’s probably nothing. A false alert. Or a new version? Plug-in ? Anything?
