Another VW Pick up concept coming up.
VW is teasing us with another cool looking pick up concept. They now claim it could be a production model by 2020. And that is it based on their MQB platform. It will be shown at the upcoming Brazilian Auto Show. Sure, it already looks nice. And I really wish this cool south American product could… Continue reading Another VW Pick up concept coming up.

Will we be getting the VW Tharu in the US?
VW has already said the US is not getting the T-Rock and T-Cross SUVs. Instead, they are preparing something just for us. Or is it, like the Jetta, Atlas, and Passat, just for “Us and China”. Which means, the new compact Tharu SUV could be coming here soon. Since it just came out in China.… Continue reading Will we be getting the VW Tharu in the US?

A few more pictures of the new 2020 VW Passat Interior
There will be some small different details, but this basically should be what we will be getting over here next year. (This is still the new Chinese model) It still works for me. It seems like a huge step forward when compared to the current model. And really, not that far behind an Audi at… Continue reading A few more pictures of the new 2020 VW Passat Interior

Zombie Saab 9.3 still not 100% dead.
This is actually an all-new ad for the NEVS 9.3. Which is an electric version of the old Saab. NEVS has teased the automotive world for years about this car. And it looks like it is finally coming out. I guess the “Classic experience” part of the slogan refers to the fact that this design… Continue reading Zombie Saab 9.3 still not 100% dead.

Chinese Ford Escape/Kuga is getting a huge screen for 2019
It looks like the Chinese market Ford Kuga (our Escape) is getting a weird oversized screen for the new year. Ford was able to fit this giant vertical tablet right where the smaller unit used to be. I guess, it somehow works? But also looks really weird. It is also strange since an all-new Escape… Continue reading Chinese Ford Escape/Kuga is getting a huge screen for 2019

Cadillac Escalade review coming up.
That’s right. I am driving a Cadillac Escalade this week and will be reporting on it in a few days. So far, it is, of course, very similar to the Yukon XL and Suburban. Which are basically the same car. But I think the Cadillac actually looks more modern. Even cleaner. And inside, the Escalade… Continue reading Cadillac Escalade review coming up.

New “smaller than Sportage” Kia SUV coming
Just like the Ford Ecosport, the production version of the SP concept was mostly planned for the Indian market. And just like the Eco sport, it will end up in the US as well. Except Kia will not, unlike Ford, wait 5 years to bring it over. The SP concept looks really nice. With a… Continue reading New “smaller than Sportage” Kia SUV coming

2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo: It’s official !
Click on these 2 pictures above to read the official info and pricing of the new 2019 Turbo versions of the Mazda CX-5. The new engine will only be offered in the “new for 2019” Grand Touring reserve, and Grand Touring Signature versions. (It doesn’t seem to be an option on other less expensive versions.) So… Continue reading 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo: It’s official !

All new VW T-Cross
Well, that wasn’t really worth such a long wait and millions of spy shots and teasers, was it… Maybe it is the weirdo color in these pictures, but that small T-Cross SUV really doesn’t look special at all. Just a clumsy amalgam of other VW design cues. The T-Cross is based on the Polo platform and… Continue reading All new VW T-Cross

All new 2020 VW Passat in the wild already!
I must say, this looks really nice. A very nicely proportioned design that seems like it will last quite a long time. Nothing weird. The interior manages to feel classic and original at the same time. Good job. I know times are tough for regular large sedans in the US, but considering, this might actually do… Continue reading All new 2020 VW Passat in the wild already!

All new VW T-Cross teasers
If you think this looks pretty cute, don’t get too excited. Since VW has already said it is not coming to the US. “Too small,” they say… (Tell that to the Ford Ecosport) The T-Cross is based on the Polo, and we don’t get that either. Since VW thinks Americans won’t buy anything smaller than… Continue reading All new VW T-Cross teasers

Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid test drive
I think the Clarity looks quite futuristic and modern. I do understand it has been met with criticism and ends up being quite polarizing. Most of the criticism seems to target the rear fenders. Which cover the top part of the wheels, and end up making the car’s rear end look a bit lumpier than… Continue reading Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid test drive

2020 Toyota Supra Interior
I guess this is for those who are still waiting for the new Supra ( I’m not anymore) Which will basically be a BMW Z4 with a Toyota design and a BMW price. The interior seems both pretty flat and blocky. Sure, it’s a step up from the horrible Toyota 86 interior. But anything is.… Continue reading 2020 Toyota Supra Interior

Why don’t we get these???
These are pictures of the Chinese versions of the new 2019 Altima and the current Honda Accord. Both models offer something we can’t get here: an oversized sunroof. (Or double sunroof) Why??? Nissan offers one on the Maxima. I guess a small old fashion sunroof is a way to make the Altima “less upscale” than… Continue reading Why don’t we get these???

2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport
Looks like the new shorter, 5 seater version of the Atlas will stay pretty close to the really nice concept from last year. Although I am not sure why they needed to change the concept at all since it looked like a production car already. Even with the camouflage, we can see they raised the… Continue reading 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport

The Faraday Future saga continues… (Barely)
Click on the picture above, and see what Faraday Future employees got in their Email yesterday. This has to be quite a shitty way to start the week. I guess you do take your chances when you start working for an unstable, brand new company with no product out yet. Still…. We’ll see what happens… Continue reading The Faraday Future saga continues… (Barely)

2019 Nissan Maxima
The 2019 model is the top picture. It looks like Nissan wanted to make the Maxima a bit more aggressive, for some reason. The front end isn’t as clean as before. There should be new lights and bumpers in the back as well. And maybe a few new trims inside. The great V6 should remain.… Continue reading 2019 Nissan Maxima

All new VW Tayron
As you can see, this is yet another VW model for the Chinese market. Although, since we already share the Passat and Atlas with China, this could very well end up here as well. it is powered by a 2.0 Liter with 220HP. Which here would be right under the Atlas. This could very well… Continue reading All new VW Tayron

2021 Ford Mustang Hybrid?
Ford just released an all-new corporate commercial. Just to make some of us proud to own a Ford. And keep buying one in the future. (Unless you want a sedan) The most interesting part is that shot of a car. Not an SUV. And the only car they will now be producing is the Mustang. Plus, this… Continue reading 2021 Ford Mustang Hybrid?
