2020 Renault Captur
Not sure if this is all new or not, but the 2020 Renault Captur looks a lot like the current model. I guess it is different enough to be called “new”. The side windows do seem a bit smaller. Which is a trend in SUVs these days: less visibility. The current Captur is still pretty cute.… Continue reading 2020 Renault Captur

New Kia Seltos video teaser.
Here is a new video teaser of the upcoming Kia Seltos. We have seen pictures of the whole thing (HERE) taken during a photo shoot. We also have teaser illustrations of the interior (HERE) So far this looks really nice. Especially for something about the size of the Hyundai Kona. So it won’t be that… Continue reading New Kia Seltos video teaser.

2020 VW Sharan Minivan
The Sharan is VW’s European minivan. It has never been sold in the US. The one we had here for a while, a few years ago, called the Routan, was just a Dodge Caravan with a VW face and a few small other changes. The current Sharan is in its second generation. The current one… Continue reading 2020 VW Sharan Minivan

Fisker SUV teasers
So far, this looks really cool and modern. (Especially the real picture at the bottom) It also looks like a production-ready model. Fisker not only claims it will be built in California, but it will start at under $40 000! With a 300 miles electric range available. Which would be quite amazing. That means at around the… Continue reading Fisker SUV teasers

2020 Kia Cadenza
Pretty big changes for this cycle refresh of the big (but not the biggest) Kia sedan. The front end is all new, and that grille is quite massive. It could very well be a severe case of “too much” in real life… New, more interesting lights in the rear. And that new dashboard and console… Continue reading 2020 Kia Cadenza

More pictures of the new 2020 BMW 3 series Touring
I think it looks just OK. This is a world where we have really, really good looking wagons. Especially in Europe (Where this will be staying) Like the new Volvo V60. And even the “not so new but still gorgeous” Mazda 6 wagon. They also have the stunning new Peugeot 508 wagon. I also think inside… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2020 BMW 3 series Touring

2020 Hyundai Palisade pricing
I also posted the Kia Telluride prices. And it is quite amazing to see they are almost priced exactly the same. (Although the Kia has more trims) The Hyundai/Kia prices are fine. But nothing really cheaper than the competition. The Telluride has been getting mostly great reviews lately. I am sure the Palisade will get the same… Continue reading 2020 Hyundai Palisade pricing

2021 Mazda6 Coupe illustration
Sorry, but no. These Japanese illustrations are 100% wrong. First, that front end looks like a Hyundai. And there is basically zero chance to see a 2 door coupe version of the next Mazda6. What we will see is a more upscale sedan. A brand new RWD platform with an equally new 6 cylinder. Which really… Continue reading 2021 Mazda6 Coupe illustration

Hyundai Kona EV test drive coming up…
Just got this. Have not had time to drive it yet. But so far, I do like the EV’s front end much better than the regular Kona. No more “big grille on a small car” syndrome. And the interior has a much nicer/upscale console and screen. Which is great. As usual, please ask me any… Continue reading Hyundai Kona EV test drive coming up…

2020 Ford Escort
It does have a nice Twilight Zone ring to it: “2020 Ford Escort”… The Escort was revived in 2015 as a cheap, sub-Focus model for the Chinese market. I guess it is time for some revisions. Inside and out. A new front end, rear lights. Inside, mostly a larger screen… Here is the current Chinese… Continue reading 2020 Ford Escort

2020 BMW 3 series Touring
Looking exactly as expected. A wagon version of the new 3 series sedan. No surprise here. Like most recent BMW designs, this is a small incremental change compared to the previous one. Even if its “all new”. It is actually pretty good looking. BMW wagons usually are. Just not “new” looking… And these little triangles… Continue reading 2020 BMW 3 series Touring

More pictures of the all new 2020 Mercedes GLB
Still looking cute and attractive. Now we get to see the trunk and rear seats. Which, of course are really tiny. But, when folded, that cargo area looks pretty huge for the car’s size. Which is really great. (I also hear the second row can move back a bit. Like the new Escape.) I think… Continue reading More pictures of the all new 2020 Mercedes GLB

2020 Bentley Flying Spur
I think Bentley finally got it right with the Flying Spur sedan. the Continental GT coupe always looked great. While its sedan version, the Flying Spur, always looked boring. And actually, never as expensive as it was. (Especially that first generation…) This looks pretty fantastic. Inside and out. As usual, it uses the Continental GT interior,… Continue reading 2020 Bentley Flying Spur

2020 Mercedes GLB
I think this turned out really nice. It does look very cute. But not too soft. It is not the mini G-Class many were hoping for. And not as square as the old GLC. But I think this strikes a great balance. And will be hugely successful. Sure, they claim it can seat 7. Which… Continue reading 2020 Mercedes GLB

2021 Buick Encore
This is NOT the new 2021 Buick Encore GX. The GX is larger and more upscale. This is the redesigned “regular” Encore. At least for the Chinese market. But since we get the exact same Encore GX, and GM already mentioned a new “regular encore” is on its way as well, this is probably our… Continue reading 2021 Buick Encore

All new Jeep Grand Cherokee
Finally, we are getting pictures of the next generation Jeep Grand Cherokee. It will be based on the same platform as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. Unlike the current model which still uses an older Mercedes one. (The current generation is 9 years old!) The next one seems larger and sleeker. With a flatter hood. At… Continue reading All new Jeep Grand Cherokee

Toyota’s all new e-TNGA electric car platform
Toyota has announced the development of an all-new platform, specific to electric cars. Basically, the same thing VW has been working on with their MEB platform. The new “e-TNGA” platform is being developed with various partners. As seen in the picture above. It will be used for a medium sized SUV from both Toyota and Subaru.… Continue reading Toyota’s all new e-TNGA electric car platform

Cruising Instagram…
Always a gold mine for old, forgotten stuff. And things we remember fondly… – A fantastic looking concept car I had never heard of: The 1970 Holden Torana GTR-X. – A really cool 1967 AMC concept called the Amitron. (renamed the AMC Electron in 1977) An early EV concept with a claimed electric range of up… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

2020 Kia Cadenza
It is about time for that “mid-cycle refresh” for the Kia Cadenza. From the “exaggerated’ illustrations above we can see the large sedan will get a much more aggressive front end. And much more original rear lights as well. (the current model is the blue car above) Looks like there will be pretty big changes… Continue reading 2020 Kia Cadenza

Kia Xceed Vs. Other Ceed models
The all-new Kia Xceed is yet another great looking Kia. But also another great looking Ceed model for Europe. Next, to the regular hatchback and the ProCeed models, you can tell this is one good looking car family. And also, something we should be getting in the US. On top of the regular, and quite… Continue reading Kia Xceed Vs. Other Ceed models
