How about some comparative car ads from the 70’s…
I’ve always loved these crazy ads from the 70’s. Comparing mundane American sedans to much more expensive luxury European cars. Going as far as questioning why you would even consider these luxury cars. They often shamelessly compare their mass produced inexpensive cars to a Rolls Royce. (why not go for the most expensive off them… Continue reading How about some comparative car ads from the 70’s…

Chevrolet Bolt test drive
I do like the design of the Bolt. It has a fun and friendly personality. Sure, some details could be toned down (Like some of the chrome bits) And the original concept did look a bit nicer (Especially that really cool glass roof) Overall, it reminds me a bit of the Honda Fit. (Except better… Continue reading Chevrolet Bolt test drive

How about even more picture of the RR Cullinan?
Everything has pretty much been said by now. About how ugly and vulgar this monstrosity is. So here is another “not flattering” angle. And a couple of live pictures of the monster. Which will cost about $325 000 to start. (So it could really go up to half a million or more.) And for all… Continue reading How about even more picture of the RR Cullinan?

More pictures of the Rolls Royce Cullinan
Still terrible, even in a more normal color. That profile is just ridiculous, and looks like a box. There is just zero design here… It is just gross. This is actually a really interesting official sketch. Showing, I guess, what they were going for in the first place. Which wasn’t that bad! What went so… Continue reading More pictures of the Rolls Royce Cullinan

2019 Audi Q8
Looks like the production version (top) of the big Audi Q8 SUV will be pretty close to the concept from early 2017 (bottom). Although that rear light bar seems to be softened a bit. Not as straight as the concept. And of course, the whole thing looks a bit less aggressive. Actually, when you look… Continue reading 2019 Audi Q8

2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
As you can see, nothing major. (2019 one on top) Just a new grill/lights/bumper combo. The crazy overpowered Hellcat is just a cheap way to get the Dodge brand in the news without any real new model. And a new plastic trim for the next year is just a way to keep the zombie brand… Continue reading 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

R.I.P Cadillac ATS
It’s now official, Cadillac will end production of the ATS sedan with the 2018 model year. Which was expected. Since it is 5 years old, and pretty much at the end of its life cycle anyway. And they only sold about 13 000 of them last year. (Compared to over 38 000 in 2013, it’s… Continue reading R.I.P Cadillac ATS

2019 Rolls Royce Cullinan
In the mad race to produce the ugliest, most vulgar SUV ever, a new contender has emerged: The all new Rolls Royce Cullinan. (Looks like the Bentley Bentayga might be second now…) Hard to describe really… I guess this would be the car equivalent to an expensive suite at a cheap Vegas hotel. It is… Continue reading 2019 Rolls Royce Cullinan

New Buick Sedan for China
The all new model is the one on top. The white car at the bottom is the current Buick Excelle. A very popular car for Buick in China. (The 3rd generation was our Buick Verano) The Excelle just got a new front en a few months ago. So I am not sure what this new… Continue reading New Buick Sedan for China

2020 Jeep Wrangler Plug-in Hybrid
This looks a lot like the Plug-in Hybrid version of the new Wrangler is almost ready. It probably will come with the 2.0 Liter engine, instead of the larger 3.6 Liter V6 from the Pacifica Hybrid. Otherwise, most of the Pacifica hybrid technology will end up in the Wrangler. It will also help a lot… Continue reading 2020 Jeep Wrangler Plug-in Hybrid

Honda Inspire Concept
For many generations, the Inspire was a Japanese version of the US Accord for the home market. (When Japan was getting a smaller Accord, also sold in Europe) It seems the next one (previewed here) will mostly be for the Chinese market. A higher end version of the Accord. The changes are mostly in the… Continue reading Honda Inspire Concept

New VW Tharu coming up.
Looks like yet another VW SUV is coming up soon. In China. Since we already share a few VW models with China (Passat and Atlas), I wonder if this one will end up over here as well. Is this the “smaller than Tiguan” model they are talking about? It is a production version of the… Continue reading New VW Tharu coming up.

2019 BMW 8 series interior
Obviously, the production interior is the red one on top. I think it looks pretty bad compared to the 2017 “tease concept” interior. BMW seems to love over-complicated/busy looking interiors. And they had a field day with this one. Why couldn’t they keep at least the simple/classy console design from the concept? This just ends… Continue reading 2019 BMW 8 series interior

BMW 8 series on the road in California
We have seen the new 8 series before. But this one was taken in California. Looking the same as the other prototypes. (HERE and HERE) It should be coming out pretty soon now. And not looking as good as the gorgeous concept they showed us before. As a reminder, HERE are pictures of the real thing… Continue reading BMW 8 series on the road in California

Chevrolet Bolt EV test drive coming up
Just got a new Chevrolet Bolt EV for a week. I am really curious about this car. And I am pretty excited to be driving this. As usual, fell free to ask any questions you might have…

Get ready…
There is a monster lurking in the dark. And it’s coming…. next week. Rolls Royce will finally shows the Cullinan SUV. And it will be an abomination. My thoughts about this are so bad, that I think I will actually be pleasantly surprised. Since it cannot possibly be as bas as I think. (That was… Continue reading Get ready…

Honda Accord 2.0 Touring test drive
The new Honda Accord is a very good looking car and quite impressive in real life. It has a road presence most cars in its class just don’t have. With a fastback/coupe shape, it looks very modern, yet luxurious and expensive. It is a new take on the classic sedan. Now that more and more… Continue reading Honda Accord 2.0 Touring test drive

New Jeep Commander
Somehow it looks like Jeep is planning regular “Commander” version of its new “Grand Commander” SUV. Just like the Grand Commander, it is only for the Chinese market (For now) From these picture, I am not sure what the difference is. As it doesn’t seem to be shorter than the Grand Commander. I was assuming… Continue reading New Jeep Commander

2019 Kia Niro EV
Kia has finally revealed the production version of the Electric Niro. And, of course, it doesn’t really look like the concept (bottom picture) we saw just a few months ago. The production model just has a different front end. But keeps the same fenders, lights etc… And that revised face doesn’t look at all like… Continue reading 2019 Kia Niro EV

Cars & reflections at Bob’s
Just a few pictures from Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank last week. It was yet another amazing night with plenty of wonderful sights. The last picture is of an amazingly clean Lincoln Mark2 coupe. (Didn’t get the name of the proud owner who is in the picture) I have never heard an “old” car so… Continue reading Cars & reflections at Bob’s
