Mercedes C-Class test drive
I was in Europe a few weeks ago, and had to rent a car for a few days. I didn’t request a Mercedes, just the typical “Golf equivalent”. But, as it often happens, I was bumped up to a better car. In this case, a Mercedes C-Class sedan. And I though I would write about… Continue reading Mercedes C-Class test drive

2021 Genesis GV80
These new pictures of the Genesis GV80 SUV look a lot like this other set I posted earlier of the next Generation G80. I am not sure if they both come from the same place, or if they both are computer generated. ( they seem to be) Even if they are CGI, they could still… Continue reading 2021 Genesis GV80

2020 VW Golf
Always a bit sad to see the next generation Golf (top) next to the current one. It just makes you realize how little the design actually changes from one generation to the next. Why even bother… The top prototype is the new plug-in version. And still has a bit of camouflage on the lights. Otherwise,… Continue reading 2020 VW Golf

Mercedes GLB price
At $36 600 (including destination), the new GLB is, of course, priced in between the $34 300 “old” GLA. And the $42 500 GLA. The GLA is due for a redesign very soon. And that GLC is much more expensive. So basically, the GLB looks like the best deal. But of course, most of the… Continue reading Mercedes GLB price

Live pictures of the 2020 Nissan Patrol
On these pictures, the new front end looks like it blends better with the old design. The previous official shots made it look quite futuristic. I guess this is an OK revision that doesn’t cost Nissan much to accomplish. Inside, the double screen console looks quite outdated already. I wonder if a revised version of… Continue reading Live pictures of the 2020 Nissan Patrol

2020 Ram 1000
The 1000 is a new compact pick-up truck from Ram. It is basically the same truck as the Fiat Toro, sold in south america for a few years. And I think it looks pretty cool It is also not being considered for the US. Why not? I think this is a mistake. Not everyone (even… Continue reading 2020 Ram 1000

2020 Nissan Patrol/2021 Nissan Armada
As I mentioned in a previous post, this is basically the same truck we have now. With revised rear and front ends ends. And a new console. As the interior also seems mostly the same. (looking like a cheap Las Vegas Suite on this picture) The US will have to wait a bit to see… Continue reading 2020 Nissan Patrol/2021 Nissan Armada

2020 Kia Optima
Nothing we have not seen before. Another camouflaged new 2020 Kia Optima on the road. Still looking like it should be a hatchback… More very soon.

2021 Jaguar XJ illustration
While it looks OK, this illustration from Autocar (based on Jaguar’s own recent teaser) looks more like a sport car than a luxury sedan. I think the upcoming XJ EV should still convey a sense of luxury and elegance that has been in the Jaguar DNA for decades. (Except in the last few years…) The… Continue reading 2021 Jaguar XJ illustration

Cruising Instagram…
Today we have a bunch of things that never happened. And a few that did. Barely… – A design study from the early ’80s for a second-generation Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon. Which never happened… – A weird but cool 3 row Cadillac wagon. – A very interesting “next-generation” AMC Gremlin wagon proposal from 1976. – Some… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

2020 VW Viloran Minivan
Add caption VW’snew Minivan for China looks like a Golf 8 on steroids. The rear lights seem very similar. And the chrome bits upfront also resemble the next-generation Golf. Otherwise, it looks like it is based on the Atlas SUV. Since the interior looks almost the same. (Look at these 1990s looking uninspired door panels…)… Continue reading 2020 VW Viloran Minivan

More pictures of the revised 2020 Buick Verano
This is a mid-cycle refresh for the current generation Verano sedan.for the Chinese market. The one that was never sold in the US (or outside of China as far as I know) It is again, basically, an Opel Astra. That new front end looks even more like an Opel than ever. It is now powered… Continue reading More pictures of the revised 2020 Buick Verano

2021 Genesis G80?
These do seem pretty realistic. Even looking like screen grabs from a video. But it could slo be some clever 3D work… It looks very close to the various spy shots we have seen of the real car. Although the whole thing doesn’t feel as soft or curvy as the spy shots. So who knows…

2020 Honda CR-V: Hybrid coming to the US!
Mostly small changes outside for the 2020 Honda CR-V. It looks like they toned down the chrome up front. Which is nice. (Black car is the current model) Basically, except current owners, nobody will be able to tell the difference. Same thing inside. Where it looks like the electronic shifter (hybrid) and redesigned center console… Continue reading 2020 Honda CR-V: Hybrid coming to the US!
