2020 VW Altas Cross Sport
Just a few more pictures of the upcoming 5 seater version of the Atlas. I think VW has actually done a much better job than Honda with the Passport. As the Passport is just a shorter Pilot. With the same interior etc… This is actually a different design than the regular, longer Atlas. While the interior… Continue reading 2020 VW Altas Cross Sport

Electrifying Classics
Just a very interesting video about this garage around San Diego that turns classics into electric cars. Of course, they don’t mention any cost or price. As this practice is still a very rich person’s hobby. But that will slowly change. And in a few years, there will be affordable ways to keep your classic… Continue reading Electrifying Classics

2020 VW ID Neo teasers
Not much to see yet, but let’s compare the upcoming production model with the original concept. The production car (on top) actually looks a bit longer and lower. With regular doors (of course) Up front, the production car (both pix on top) actually has more LED lights than the concept. With a light bar across… Continue reading 2020 VW ID Neo teasers

BurlappCar is getting a facelift…
Just wanted to let you know that my site is getting a new host platform. So even though I will do my best to keep a similar and familiar look, things might end up being a bit different. I will make sure it is still simple to navigate, but will also add a few things… Continue reading BurlappCar is getting a facelift…

2020 Buick Encore
Just thought I would post a few more pictures of the all-new Buick Encore for 2020. The one above is actually the Chinese market version called the Encore GX. A slightly smaller and more SUV coupe-like “regular” Encore will also be sold in China. But not in the US. The one we are getting is… Continue reading 2020 Buick Encore

Cadillac CT6 3.0 V6 Test Drive
I think the Cadillac CT6 sedan is one of the best-looking luxury cars out there. Especially the 2019 model, with its revised front and rear ends. The designers did a great job with the small changes they were able to do. It has great presence, without being flashy. The version I was driving for a week… Continue reading Cadillac CT6 3.0 V6 Test Drive

Burlapp Cars around L.A: Citroen DS
Another time cabsule: the amazing Citroen DS. I used to see a few of these around. Especially years ago when there was still a guy in Hollywood (on Melrose ave) who was selling and fixing them. Now they seem super rare… The DS came out in 1955. (Imagine the amazing sight it was back in… Continue reading Burlapp Cars around L.A: Citroen DS

2020/21 BMW 4 series
These are just illustrations. But since they show a two-door version of the new 3 series, they are probably 99% correct. Since the “4” is still basically a “2 door 3” for more money. that’s what the next generation will be as well. That “classic” shape is really getting very old to me. I mean… Continue reading 2020/21 BMW 4 series

Burlapp Cars around L.A: Nissan Figaro
I have always been a big fan of the Nissan Figaro. Although I had never seen one in real life. Until a few days ago. This one is in a store, downtown Los Angeles. As a display, but somehow is also for sale ($16 000) In person, it is as charming and special as you’d… Continue reading Burlapp Cars around L.A: Nissan Figaro

2020 Mercedes S-Class interior
I know it does match the various spy shots we have already seen of the all-new S-Class for 2020. But I really hope this is just an illustration… As an interior like this just seems to be chasing Tesla instead of coming up with something new. It almost looks ridiculous to me. Like it’s been… Continue reading 2020 Mercedes S-Class interior

Cruising Instagram…
A bunch of fun discoveries this week… What could have been, 60’s nostalgia and a forgotten Dodge. – What could have been GM’s new Family Van, from 1973. – What could have been the new Toyota Hi-Lux truck in 1983. – What could have been the Chevrolet Monte Carlo in 1973. – What could have… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

More pictures of the new 2020 Toyota Highlander
Just a few more pictures of the all-new Toyota Highlander from the New York show floor. It still looks a bit lumpy to me. that big curved line over the rear wheel looks weird. Like it was a last minute idea. The interior seems fine. But not very upscale, even in the loaded versions shown… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2020 Toyota Highlander

Honda HR-V Test Drive
After driving the Mazda CX-3, I was really interested in comparing it to the Honda HR-V. The HR-V is a much more popular choice since they sold over 85 000 of them last year. Vs about 17 000 units if the CX-3. I always thought the HR-V looked really good, and it still does. It… Continue reading Honda HR-V Test Drive

Dumb & Dumber move: 2019 Mazda CX-5 Diesel!
Just a few years ago, it seemed everyone wanted to sell diesel engines in the US. There were announcements after announcements. Even Nissan claimed a Diesel Maxima was coming! But, since the VW diesel scandal, most of these have been officially canceled. Or they just quietly never mentioned them anymore. Except for Mazda! Diesel sales… Continue reading Dumb & Dumber move: 2019 Mazda CX-5 Diesel!

2020 Hyundai Venue
I think this is really cute. And a more cohesive design than the Kona. (These rear lights on the Kona…) It is about 5 inches shorter than the Kona. That’s almost 10 inches shorter than the small Mazda CX-3! So I am not sure what it actually competes with. Except maybe the Nissan Kicks, in… Continue reading 2020 Hyundai Venue

2020 Subaru Outback
The outback is basically the same thing over and over again. With small changes. I think this 2020 model is an improvement. At least visually. I do like the more fluid look. And the much-improved interior from the new sedan (Legacy) version. Otherwise, it is really too bad about the V6 being gone. As it was… Continue reading 2020 Subaru Outback

2020 Lincoln Corsair
I will simply agree with most and say the new Lincoln Corsair looks great. The current MKC was already a good looking SUV. But turning it into a smaller version of the Aviator is a great idea. And, giving it a real name! Like all new Lincoln models. Again, this is what Cadillac needs to do… Continue reading 2020 Lincoln Corsair

2020 Toyota Highlander
First I’d like to comment on the actual pictures. These are Toyota’s official photos of the all-new Highlander for 2020. I didn’t post everything that is available, but they only have a few of this blue one a photo set. Nothing taken outside. Which is kind of strange and makes the car look kind of dead…… Continue reading 2020 Toyota Highlander

2020 Karma Reveno
The Karma Reveno is actually an all-new design for 2020. Not just a slight refresh… It is especially obvious in the profile pictures above (2020 model on top) and I think they did a very nice job. As it is very hard to redesign such a stunning car. From what I hear, the interior seems… Continue reading 2020 Karma Reveno
