More pictures of the new VW Tharu
These are pictures of the production version of the new VW Tharu SUV I mentioned just yesterday. A “smaller that Tiguan” model for China. And probably the US. (Since we are mostly getting the same VW models) Again, this is not an ugly design. Just almost exactly the same as the Tiguan. And very close… Continue reading More pictures of the new VW Tharu

2019 Honda Pilot
Honda released a few more pictures of the revised 2019 Pilot. As expected, it is pretty much the same car. Most changes are upfront, where they are trying to make it a bit more aggressive. Yet a bit cleaner. With a bit more of an off road look. Honda sold almost 130 000 of them… Continue reading 2019 Honda Pilot

2019 VW Tharu interior
Yes, so far, this is just a prototype. So that interior is not “all there” yet. Still, so far this looks pretty bad… VW has already said we are not getting the T-Roc. But we’re not getting the Polo based (slightly smaller) T-Cross either. Instead, we are probably getting a US version of the upcoming… Continue reading 2019 VW Tharu interior

2020/21 Ford Fusion
Just when we though the Fusion was dead, it isn’t really. Ford has decided to kill the Fusion in the US. But it’s sister car in Europe and other countries, the Mondeo, will get a redesign for the 2020 or 2021 model year. And just like the current Mondeo, Ford will offer a wagon version.… Continue reading 2020/21 Ford Fusion

2019 Fiat 500X
The 500X compact SUV is getting a small refresh for the new year. Just like its Jeep Renegade cousin did. It looks like it is getting the same tail lights the regular 500 got a few years ago. (For sone reason, the US version of the 500 never got this new design) Otherwise, small changes… Continue reading 2019 Fiat 500X

Chevrolet Traverse test drive coming up
I am driving a larger SUV this week. A Chevrolet Traverse. The one I have is a loaded AWD Premier version with the $1845 “redline Edition” package. So far so good. Things are quiet, smooth and comfortable. The Enclave “cheaper” cousin is of course very similar to the Buick version. Which is a good thing.… Continue reading Chevrolet Traverse test drive coming up

2019 Chevrolet Blazer driving around
Looking quite nice in real life. Even in white. The new Blazer seems to be mostly a polarizing design. Many people seem to really like it while many others hate it. I think it’s fine. At least it is trying something. Without ending up as weird as most Lexus SUV designs. Head over HERE for… Continue reading 2019 Chevrolet Blazer driving around

2019 Hyundai Elantra
Just a couple more pictures of the “facelifted” Elantra for 2019. Things look pretty drastically different up front. (So much that it might be now too different from the rest of the car) The back end is your usual “new light and bumper” fare. Hyundai has mentioned a while ago that each model will have… Continue reading 2019 Hyundai Elantra

2019 DS 3 Crossback
I guess the DS 3 hatchback will be morphing into a 4 door small SUV thing next year. (Since everything else does…) I have seen the DS 3 in my travels in Europe and always think it looks pretty cute. But this looks way overdone. That front end, the shapes of the headlights. All these… Continue reading 2019 DS 3 Crossback

VW Tiguan test drive
The “new” Tiguan is not an ugly car. But I struggle how to describe it. “boring”, “generic”, “lazy” come to mind. I guess it is all that… It basically looks like these generic cars you see on architectural renderings. Where they make sure vehicles look like nothing specific. The Tiguan designers did their best to… Continue reading VW Tiguan test drive

That new Avalon Facebook ad…
Many of you have probably also seen this. It showed up yesterday on may Facebook page. I though it was funny how Toyota chooses to advertise that new model. Obviously concentrating on how gorgeous it is. (Although its design has been pretty universally criticized) “Beauty”, “Style”, “Made you look”. It just seems like they are… Continue reading That new Avalon Facebook ad…

2019 Acura ILX
Looks like Acura is giving another refresh to the ILX sedan next year. The current model came out for the 2012 model year, and still no new one in sight. Instead, it will be getting a new grille and bumper. (Maybe other small things too) Which is pretty sad. What Acura needs is a real… Continue reading 2019 Acura ILX

2019 Hyundai Elantra
I actually had no idea the Elantra was due for such a refresh. It seems pretty major, at least up front. Where everything seems new. Which even gives the car a different personality. Not sure these super sharp edges work with the rear of the car. It kind of reminds me of what GM (Mostly… Continue reading 2019 Hyundai Elantra

All new Cadillac coupe concept coming up.
This does look very cool. It also seems larger than the current ATS coupe so it would make a great new coupe based on the next CT5 sedan. Since it does look like the Escala, with a bit of CT5. But, from what we can see here, this is probably only a concept. For the… Continue reading All new Cadillac coupe concept coming up.

Audi E-tron Interior
Audi has just revealed a few pictures of the interior of their new E-Tron EV SUV. It does look like most current Audi SUV interiors. Very busy with plenty of different shapes and materials everywhere… There are now even more screens. As even the rear view mirrors have been replaced by cameras. Which, I am… Continue reading Audi E-tron Interior

VW Tiguan review coming up.
Just got a red VW Tiguan for a week. So I will, as usual, report on it in a few days. The one I am driving is an FWD SE model. Priced at $28 930. For a total of $30 280 including destination, 18 inch wheels and fog lamps. (Which is kind of strange since… Continue reading VW Tiguan review coming up.

VW T-Cross teaser
On this video, you can see a bunch of “official” sketches of VW’s next SUV, the T-Cross. (Although most of the drawings shown here are actually just 2 or 3, reprinted on different colors…) It is basically an SUV version of the Polo, so a bit smaller than the T-Roc. Not sure yet if we… Continue reading VW T-Cross teaser

2019 Buick Lacrosse ST
In a weird move, Buick will now be offering a “sportier” version of the Lacrosse sedan for 2019, called ST. As you can see, they removed some of the chrome. And added a spoiler. But that’s about it… Otherwise, the Lacrosse gets a couple of new colors for the new year. But the base engine… Continue reading 2019 Buick Lacrosse ST

Chevrolet FNR-X production
Looks like China will be getting a production version of the cool Fnr-X concept from last year. I guess it might be based on the recently revealed Blazer? (it has that same little fixed quarter window within the front window. ) But at least the headlights are obviously different… I don’t think there would be… Continue reading Chevrolet FNR-X production

Will Hyundai actually buy Fiat Chrysler?
Glorified accountant Sergio Marchionne has been trying to sell off the company for years. So himself and his buddies can make a bundle when they leaves the company. But so far no one was really interested. Now there are many rumors around about Hyundai actually being very interested in acquiring FCA. (HERE, HERE, HERE and… Continue reading Will Hyundai actually buy Fiat Chrysler?
