2019 VW Passat Vs. Current model
The 2019 model is obviously an all new car. None of the panels seem the same. Now the rear door cut is really close to the rear wheel opening. Even getting into the wheel arch, which really looks weird. Otherwise, as I mentioned before, this just looks, again, like a larger Jetta. Just like with… Continue reading 2019 VW Passat Vs. Current model

2019 VW Passat
Looks like a new Passat is coming up for 2019. And, when compared to the current one, it doesn’t look like “just a facelift”. It seems all new. But just like the current one, it now again looks like a big Jetta. Except now, a “big 2018 Jetta”. Apparently, since the Jetta is larger than… Continue reading 2019 VW Passat

2020 Hyundai Sonata
HERE are the fist pictures of the all new Hyundai Sonata for 2020. Looking much sleeker than the current model. (bottom pic) And, could this be hiding a hatchback? Just like the new Buick Regal? That would make it stand out against the competition from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Here is their Le Fit Rouge… Continue reading 2020 Hyundai Sonata

2019 Audi A1
This new 2nd generation A1 looks more aggressive than before. Kind of a cross between the previous generation and the Q2 crossover. The whole thing now looks quite busy. More lines, more plastic bits, fake vents etc… Basically, worse. The grille is also bigger than ever. (Huge fake grille on small cars never look right…)… Continue reading 2019 Audi A1

2019 Suzuki Jimny
As I mentioned earlier, I have never seen that many real pictures of a car that isn’t out yet. Not sure why it is taking Suzuki so long to officially unveil this new Jimny. This is the great, great grand kid of the little Samurai we had in the US back in the 80’s. And… Continue reading 2019 Suzuki Jimny

More pix of the new BMW 8 series
Not an ugly car by any mean. But really nothing special. Basically a redesign of the 6 series coupe. Now called 8. The exact same recipe as before. Which hasn’t really worked for years. So I guess calling it an 8 and charging way more for it might boost profits and make up for lack… Continue reading More pix of the new BMW 8 series

2019 BMW 8 series
Finally, the real BMW 8 series is starting to emerge… I posted pictures of the production model next to last year’s concept. It looks like it has been toned down enough to be as boring as any other BMW design now. Which is too bad. It has more lines and scoops. It just now looks… Continue reading 2019 BMW 8 series

2019 Volvo S60
After seeing 2 spy photos of the new model from a 3.4 rear angle (HERE and HERE) we now get to see more. As expected, from the front it looks almost exactly like the new V60 wagon (bottom pic) From this angle, it just looks like ….. a sedan. I mean, it does look a… Continue reading 2019 Volvo S60

Cadillac CT5
After seeing what Cadillac did with the gorgeous 2019 CT6, but just changing a few things, I have high hopes for the all new smaller CT5. It could end up being another great looking car. And from these new spy shots, it does look like a fastback design. Like the Escala concept. It could even be… Continue reading Cadillac CT5

Tesla Model S Shooting Brake
No, this is not a new Tesla wagon. It was designed by Dutch designer Niels Van Roij. And built by Rametz Car. (So I am not sure if this is actually an available thing…) While I do like the idea of a Tesla wagon, this design has too much cartoony super thick chrome elements that… Continue reading Tesla Model S Shooting Brake

2020 Ford Explorer
Ford has released a new picture of the Police version of the next Explorer. This specific model will be a hybrid, with a 24MPG average (that’s for the more powerful police version) As you can see, the new Explorer will borrow a lot from the Lincoln Aviator concept. (Bottom pic) The Aviator being basically a… Continue reading 2020 Ford Explorer

Another facelift for the Nissan Versa???
The current Versa came out for the 2012 model year. A “facelift” was applied in 2015. I wonder if this picture means the current model will be with us for another couple of years. Even though it is really outdated and quite ugly, they still sold over 106 000 of them in the US last… Continue reading Another facelift for the Nissan Versa???

2019 BMW Z4
I understand things have to be modified for production. But these actual patent fillings from the new Z4 are pretty sad. Not because the production car is ugly. (It looks really nice. Just like previous models.) But it really does not look more modern than the current “almost 10 year old” model. And it changed… Continue reading 2019 BMW Z4
