  • 2020 Opel Corsa

    Like most recent Opel designs, this is OK. Nothing amazing. The new Corsa was delayed quite a bit after Opel was bought by Peugeot from GM. It seems that it was almost ready when Peugeot decided the new model was going to be based on one of their upcoming platforms instead of the old GM stuff.… Continue reading 2020 Opel Corsa

  • 2020 Ford Taurus

     The Ford Taurus is getting a new face. In China. The current Taurus generation has been sold over there since 2016. (While Ford had decided that all we needed here in the US was the old model.) Unlike the US version, the newer Chinese model is not being discontinued. Instead, it is being given a… Continue reading 2020 Ford Taurus

  • 2020 BMW 1 series

    These pictures look like they were taken from the garage where the camouflage is being applied on prototypes. ( I bet BMW is not too happy about this. Unless they authorized it somehow) You can already tell the small 1 series hatchback will adopt the huge fake grille from the most recent BMW designs. Which looks… Continue reading 2020 BMW 1 series

  • 2020/21 Nissan Juke

    Of course, this is not the real thing yet. Just an illustration. But it seems pretty accurate when com[ared to the many spy shots we have seen of the real thing. (HERE) The Juke will stay a juke. Which is good. It has been a big hit for Nissan in Europe. Still not sure if… Continue reading 2020/21 Nissan Juke

  • 2020 Ford Focus ST wagon

    Since Ford has decided the only Ford car Americans are allowed to buy is the Mustang, we are, of course, not getting this in the US. A wagon version of the super sporty Ford Focus ST. Which has to be pretty phenomenal… – 6-speed manual or 7-speed auto – 2.3 Liter Ecoboost with 280HP Maybe this… Continue reading 2020 Ford Focus ST wagon

  • 2020 Honda Fit/Jazz

    The all-new Fit for 2020 is still under heavy camouflage. But we do get a glimpse of its interior. As we have seen before, it looks like things will be pretty simple, with a (maybe adjustable) screen in the middle of the dash. Outside, it seems to be going back to the previous generation look.… Continue reading 2020 Honda Fit/Jazz

  • 2020 Mercedes E-Class

    I am not sure if the top picture is the real thing or still an illustration. But it seems to match perfectly the recent spy shots we have seen of the refreshed E-Class sedan for 2020. The changes will also be applied to the coupe and convertible versions.  While the new front end looks fine, I… Continue reading 2020 Mercedes E-Class

  • 2020 VW Golf Interior

    Well, that was quick. Just after mentioning the VW teaser for their new Golf interior, we have this first picture of the actual thing. Which looks OK… The whole thing doesn’t look as well integrated as on the teaser (of course) From the side, that screen does look a bit clunky. And the bottom part… Continue reading 2020 VW Golf Interior

  • 2020 VW Golf Teasers

    VW has just released a couple of (exaggerated) sketches of its new Golf for 2020. While we have already seen tons of spy shots of the exterior, the interior is quite a surprise. Simple and futuristic. One of the most modern one in a compact car. Which should be great. The horizontal look reminds me… Continue reading 2020 VW Golf Teasers

  • 2020 Audi AllRoad

    The changes to the A4 for 2020 apply to the Allroad version. Same all-new body panels with the same old interior… I drove the regular wagon version of the A4 a couple of years ago, in Europe. For a few days. It was fine but not remarkable in any way. The Allroad starts at $45… Continue reading 2020 Audi AllRoad

  • How about even more pictures of that new VW Atlas Cross Sport?

    Yes, this is still the same orange one. I still think it looks really good and will be quite a hit for VW in the US. And of course, this is still the Chinese version in these pictures. But our US model will be the same. Nothing futuristic here, but pretty solid I think…

  • Cruising Instagram…

    This week we have a bunch of “what could have been” samples. Starting from the top with: – A proposal for a sedan version of the Renault 25 hatchback. A rather heavy-handed design that was rejected. But a Renault 25 Sedan did happen for the US market as the Eagle Premier. – An early design for… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

  • VW ID.3 “First Edition”

    It seems to be a thing these days. Producing first a batch of “First Edition” models of a highly anticipated car. A few hundred. Or thousands. With some unique paint combo. “First edition” badges here and there. A few (inexpensive) “Exclusive items”, and there you go. You can charge thousands more to those who “want it… Continue reading VW ID.3 “First Edition”
