More pictures of the “not all new” 2021 Lexus IS
Different wheels and darker colors do make the new IS look a bit better. (It still looks weird to me. Plus, that “giant grille on a small car” thing…) The big news is that it gets larger wheels! Standard 17 inch designs are replaced by a new 18-inch set. And for the first time, 19… Continue reading More pictures of the “not all new” 2021 Lexus IS

2021 Genesis G70 hatchback/wagon
The Genesis G70 will not only get a refresh for 2021. It is also getting another body style. With a hatchback! (Which actually makes a lot of sense since it is sharing its platform with the Kia Stinger) Not sure yet if it will be a classic fastback (Like the Stinger). Or a more upright… Continue reading 2021 Genesis G70 hatchback/wagon

More on the new 2021 Nissan Rogue
I still like the current model a bit more. This new one seems to mix a very bland design with more upscale aspirations. While, probably, costing about the same. Visually, it seems to try to attract people who think the new RAV-4 is just too square/trucky for them. Yet think the new Escape is too… Continue reading More on the new 2021 Nissan Rogue

2021 Lexus IS: why???
New body panels? I guess. New car? I don’t think so… It looks like Lexus is following this new sedan “redesign” trend with its “new” 2021 IS. Since these sedans do not sell well anymore, they now think a “heavy facelift” is good enough to call it an all-new car. This is exactly what VW… Continue reading 2021 Lexus IS: why???

2021 Toyota Corolla Cross: Not as square as previously thought…
The first photo is from a couple of months ago. With very heavy camouflage. The more recent picture shows a much more stylish design. With more curves. the heavy camouflage made the whole thing look like a box. Which is good news. The new Corolla Cross is not the Corolla wagon sold in Europe, but… Continue reading 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross: Not as square as previously thought…

2021 Nissan Rogue Vs. the current one.
Quite an amazing move for Nissan. Which just decided to strip the new Rogue of all personality. I think the current model always looked fine. And it still does. It is an OK drive (the old 2.5 Liter and CVT has never been that great) But tons of people like the way it looks. The… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Rogue Vs. the current one.

2021 Nissan Rogue: new picture!
I hate to say, but this all-new Rogue seems to have even less personality than the current model. At least on this new official photo. So far it has that “generic crossover” look that could be from anyone. The front end seems OK. Although the lower lights are really big and look a bit weird.… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Rogue: new picture!

2021 Lexus IS teaser
3 days away from unveiling the whole thing, Lexus is giving us a quick teaser of the all-new 2021. We don’t know much about the car. But don’t expect any big surprise. It looks like yet another small luxury sedan. So I guess it will again compete with the new Genesis G70. (As well as… Continue reading 2021 Lexus IS teaser

2020 Cadillac Escalade in the wild
It looks like the Escalade is finally being delivered to dealers. I had the chance to see it in person at the Hollywood Cadillac event back in February. ( which was basically a “Chrome and Whiskey” fun event) I am not an Escalade fan at all but I was very impressed. The interior is just… Continue reading 2020 Cadillac Escalade in the wild

2021 BMW 4 series: Are we getting used to it yet?
As I mentioned before, I think I am… The weird cartoonish grille doesn’t bother me that much anymore. And the rest of the car is really good looking. And probably even nicer in the flesh (Like the 8 series is) I also like the interior very much. Which seems much simpler and classier than that… Continue reading 2021 BMW 4 series: Are we getting used to it yet?

2022 Mercedes GLC SUV illustrations
These are just illustrations. And so far, they just look OK. There is really nothing original. Which, I guess, is close to reality. The GLC is a big hit for Mercedes with over 73 000 of them sold in the US last year alone. I guess they are not looking to shake things up in… Continue reading 2022 Mercedes GLC SUV illustrations

2021/22 BMW 4 series Gran Coupe
It is not very hard, now that we have seen the real 4 series, to guess what the Gran Coupe (4 door hatchback) version will look like. Which means these illustrations are probably very close to the real thing. As I mentioned earlier, I am slowly getting used to that weird/huge/cartoony grille design. I think… Continue reading 2021/22 BMW 4 series Gran Coupe

2021 Subaru CrossTrek gets 2.5 Liter engine.
The Subaru Crosstrek is getting a few changes for 2021. The main one being the availability of the 2.5 Liter engine with 182HP. Which should be a nice upgrade. The larger engine comes standard on the new “Sport” version (top 2 photos) And the more luxurious Limited model. Although, by getting the Sport version, you… Continue reading 2021 Subaru CrossTrek gets 2.5 Liter engine.

2021 Nissan Rogue
We have already seen pictures of the all-new Nisan Rogue a few months ago. But I had never seen this one. From that angle at least, the front of the new Rogue looks much more modern and sculpted. This will probably be very successful for Nissan, again. Here are the 2 photos I published a… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Rogue

2021 Kia Sedona
These illustrations show quite an aggressive, and messy looking, front end for the all-new Kia Sedona. I really hope they are wrong. This doesn’t really look better than the current model. Which still looks quite good and modern. Let’s just hope the real thing looks better…

2021 Nissan Ariya Interior
These new B&W patent photos show us how close the production version of the Aryia EV will be to the concept. They actually look exactly the same! The Ariya was a great looking concept. But as a production car, this will look really amazing. I mean, it looks like the concept was basically the production… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Ariya Interior

2021 Mercedes SL
The current SL is due for a redesign. It came out in 2012. Which is actually not that ancient for an SL. (the super cool 3rd generation lasted 18 years) The illustration above is based on recent spy shots. Which shows a retro design inspired by the very first generation from 1954. I have heard… Continue reading 2021 Mercedes SL

What could have been: Dyson EV SUV
By now, we all know that Dyson has canceled their EV project. Which is really too bad. Now we have actual photos of the still-born project. While the interior seems very modern and innovative. It does have a strong 1970’s feel. (It reminds me of some of the weird 1970’s seat designs Renault used to… Continue reading What could have been: Dyson EV SUV

2021 BMW 4 series in the wild
I do have to admit that I am actually getting used to this. Almost… I even really like the interior. Which is strange since it is exactly the same as the current 3 series (Since the 4 is actually a “3 coupe”). And I was really not crazy about it when the current 3 series… Continue reading 2021 BMW 4 series in the wild

2021 Kia Cadenza
This is quite a year for Kia. They just showed the all-new Sorento and the Optima/K5. A new Sedona is coming. And an all-new Cadenza sedan as well. Although this time, as I mentioned before, the new Cadenza might not make it to the US. This already looks much more modern than the current model.… Continue reading 2021 Kia Cadenza
