2019 VW Passat
A few more pix of the all new VW Passat for the next year. This is the larger model we get in the US (And China). Not the European version. That’s why it basically looks like a larger Jetta… And it keeps getting bigger, as the new one will be almost 3 inches longer than… Continue reading 2019 VW Passat

2019 Mercedes GLE Interior
Just a few more pictures of the interior of the new GLE SUV. That dashboard design seems pretty polarizing. Seems like a lot of people already hate it. The handles on the console do look a bit ridiculous (Even if other manufacturers use them too)

Buick Envision test drive coming up
I just got a Buick Envision to drive this week. And I will be reporting on it soon. I actually got the Envision partially because it has been in the news lately. Since GM is seeking an exemption from a possible 25% tariff. The curent administration, claiming a national security threat, might be imposing such… Continue reading Buick Envision test drive coming up

2019 Honda Civic Sedan.
Just like the Coupe, the sedan version gets a slightly new face for 2019. With a bit less chrome on the grille (But more on the bumper…) Since the Civic is a huge hit for Honda, I do understand the very few changes. They sold over 377 000 of them last year. More than the… Continue reading 2019 Honda Civic Sedan.

2019 Honda Civic Coupe
The car on top is the 2019. I really can’t see anything new from the back… (Bottom car is the current one) The Civic is still a very popular car in the US, and any changes to it is a big deal for Honda. So nothing drastic here. Just the usual small mid-cycle changes. And… Continue reading 2019 Honda Civic Coupe

2019 BMW Z4
The production model is obviously the red one . The copper car is the cool concept we have seen before. And once again, BMW’s production version disappoints. They made it different enough to be lame. (And the cheesy back bits adds on do not help) I mean, why even go through the trouble of designing,… Continue reading 2019 BMW Z4

More pictures of the new 2019 Mercedes GLE interior
Not really sure what to think of this. Like someone mentioned here earlier, there is a lot going on in here. It looks like someone designed the console. Someone else designed the dashboard. A 3rd person designed the doors. And they never really talked to each other. Maybe this is better in real life. When… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2019 Mercedes GLE interior

Friday nights at Bob’s
Another gorgeous collection of beautiful and odd. Another night of mixed smell of gasoline and grilled meat… Things could be worse.

Ford’s future line up. Let’s guess…
This picture was shown at some recent investor meeting. Showing the whole line up of Ford models. (Which could include European and Chinese models as well) Lower center is the Mustang. Which does look a bit different. The hood scoop isn’t as wide as the current car, and maybe the grille doesn’t seem as wide… Continue reading Ford’s future line up. Let’s guess…

2019 Mazda CX-5 Diesel: Why???
Why on earth would Mazda still bother with selling a diesel version of the CX-5 in the US?? They have been mentioning selling diesel engines here for many years. (So did Nissan for a while. Even mentioning a diesel Maxima) Now the market is completely turned around as far as diesel is concerned . Even… Continue reading 2019 Mazda CX-5 Diesel: Why???

2019 Audi A7 US pricing
The all new redesigned A7 will start at $68 000. Which is actually cheaper than the previous model. It comes with a 335HP V6 and a 7 speed auto. The base model also now comes with a super large panoramic sunroof and 19 inch wheels. For about $4000 more you get an upgraded bang &… Continue reading 2019 Audi A7 US pricing

All new Chevrolet Corvette
These are supposedly pictures of the all new mid-engine Corvette. With obviously, much less camouflage than on previous shots. I really hope this is NOT the next Corvette. This now just looks like yet another over designed looking super sports car. It really displays a vulgarity similar to many current Ferrari designs. If this is… Continue reading All new Chevrolet Corvette

2019/20 Honda Passport
From these pictures, it looks like the all new Passport will not just be a 5 seater version of the Pilot. (The next Pilot might actually become a 3 row version of this upcoming Passport) Which is a good thing. Something different and really new. I just wonder how big this is. Since the current… Continue reading 2019/20 Honda Passport

2019 Fors Territory Vs- Yusheng S330
As I mentioned earlier, the new Ford Territory is officially baed on the Chinese Yusheng S330. From these pictures, it looks like they are actually almost the exact same car. So this isn’t really a Ford. It seems that only the front grille and bumper are new items on the Ford version. A few more… Continue reading 2019 Fors Territory Vs- Yusheng S330

2019 Mercedes GLE interior
It looks like Mercedes did a good job making sure the new GLE interior isn’t a clone of the E-Class. Although their recent exterior designs are getting simpler, their interiors seem to be more complicated every time. With lots of lines, textures and shapes that don’t necessarily go together. I guess nicer, official pictures will… Continue reading 2019 Mercedes GLE interior

2019 Ford Territory
The Territory is a new Ford for the Chinese market. It is not related to the model of the same name that has been on sale in Australia since 2004. Instead, it is based on an older Yusheng platform . A Chinese partner of Ford (So they are probably right about saying it is for… Continue reading 2019 Ford Territory

New Chinese Geely SX11
Volvo’s owner Geely unveiled a new small SUV called the SX11. While not the typical Chinese copy/clone, it is reminiscent of many other designs. Yet, the overall thing looks pretty nice. As nice as anything from other manufacturers around the world. It is powered by a 1.5 Liter engine with 177HP. And a Plug-in Hybrid… Continue reading New Chinese Geely SX11

More pictures of the new Mercedes CLS Class for 2019
The CLS has always been Mercedes’s stylish choice as a sedan. It always cost much more than an E-Class. ($75 000) But looked much more modern and much less stodgy. This all new model is mostly just an E-Class now. An E-Class sedan that tries to remind you of the original CLS. Now they even… Continue reading More pictures of the new Mercedes CLS Class for 2019

2019 BMW 3 series
Get ready for another healthy dose of “they all look the same” with the new BMW 3 series. Now with BMW’s new “bigger than ever” super chrome grille. I guess there is still a market for the faithful. And those who think these are still some kind of a status symbol. Although that market is… Continue reading 2019 BMW 3 series

2019 BMW X7
Comparing pictures of the concept from a couple of years ago, the new patent designs look pretty tame. Thank God…. Things don’t seem as vulgar as the concept. But the production car looks pretty horrible. I mean it looks like something that came out 15 years ago. With a giant chrome grille. I think this… Continue reading 2019 BMW X7
