Cruising Instagram: what could have been…
This week is just a series of ‘what could have been’. In another world. Almost the same as ours. If an exec in charge had picked another design… – The first picture shows an alternate design from 2002, for the Toyota Metrix. Which is quite different from what the real thing was… – Here… Continue reading Cruising Instagram: what could have been…

2022 Kia K900: let’s try one more time.
The big Kia K900 is an even more obscure car in the US than the Genesis G90 I mentioned in the previous post. They only sold 390 last year! I mean, that is an amazing number. I just wonder at this oint, what is Kia’s strategy. The curent model looks fine. And has been… Continue reading 2022 Kia K900: let’s try one more time.

2022 Genesis G90: already an all-new on on the way!
It sure looks like a brand new generation Genesis G90 sedan is right around the corner. Even though I have not seen a 2020 model in the wild yet. The current generation came out just 4 years ago. It was revised with a huge Superman shield looking grille in late 2018 (Korean market) So… Continue reading 2022 Genesis G90: already an all-new on on the way!

Week-end drive: Pacific Coast highway
These driving videos are better viewed on a TV. But even on a computer, I hope this can be a small distraction from that overwhelming ‘Twilight Zone’ world we now live in. It is always beautiful to drive down PCH from Point Mugu to Malibu.

2021 Nissan Pathfinder: shedding some camouflage.
Looks like the all new 2021 Nissan pathfinder is wearing a bit see camouflage these days. Especially up front. Where things look more and more like a larger version of the 2021 Rogue. Which would be just fine. But let’s hope the Pathfinder isn’t turning into a longer, roomier 7 seater Rogue. Apparently a… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Pathfinder: shedding some camouflage.

2021 Hyundai Custo interior: one more picture
In this picture, we do get a much better idea of the center console design of the new Hyundai Custo Minivan. Which looks quite nice and upscale already. Good to see Hyundai doing a great job differentiating Kia and Hyundai models. Just like the K5 and Sonata sedans. This as a totally different feel… Continue reading 2021 Hyundai Custo interior: one more picture

2021 Hyundai Custo minivan: the new Sedona’s cousin
It seems Hyundai belives in a healthy minivan market. As you can see, they are about to launch their own version of the new 2021 Kia Sedona based on the same platform. With, of course, its own design and interior. From these pictures, it looks like some plastic cladding is missing from around the… Continue reading 2021 Hyundai Custo minivan: the new Sedona’s cousin

2021 Mercedes C-Class: so familiar…
German manufacturers have now trained us not to expect much with each new car generation. Which is really too bad. Especially for Mercedes. Since every generation of their cars used to be quite different every time. As you can see above, the next C-Class sedan will look a lot like the current one. More… Continue reading 2021 Mercedes C-Class: so familiar…

2023 BMW M5: will it get the big mouth?
This is, of course, just an illustration. As no one has seen even a running prototype of the next-generation BMW 5 series yet. But it gives you an idea of what 4 series huge grille could look like on a larger sedan like the next 5 series. And it might very well happen. Sure,… Continue reading 2023 BMW M5: will it get the big mouth?

Lucid Air production model: is this it?
From these pictures, it looks like Lucid did an amazing job keeping their original design. We first saw the Lucid Air prototype back in late 2016. It was quite stunning and still is. the only difference I can tell from the concept (grey car above) are the larger mirrors. Different wheel design and maybe… Continue reading Lucid Air production model: is this it?

2022/23 Lucid SUV: the Air square brother.
On September 9th, Lucid will finally present the production version of the Air Electric sedan. But, from these spy shots, it looks like the sedan will not be the only guest at the presentation. Lucid has apparently been also hard at work on an SUV. Just like everyone else. While the Air we will see… Continue reading 2022/23 Lucid SUV: the Air square brother.

2021 Mazda CX-9: tiny changes…
The Mazda CX-9 has collected mostly great reviews when it came out in 2016. For 2021 Mazda really didn’t put any effort in revising it. As you can see, the grille is slightly different. The rest of the front end seems exactly the same as before. Same thing inside where the only difference seems to… Continue reading 2021 Mazda CX-9: tiny changes…

2022/23 Mazda CX-50: what we know…
Last year, Mazda has mentioned they would have no all-new models for about 2 years. I guess it didn’t turn out to be such terrible news after all since basically, 2020 has been pretty much canceled. (and not just for cars) The first all-new Mazda models we will see are the new Mazda 6… Continue reading 2022/23 Mazda CX-50: what we know…

2021 Kia Carnival: our 2022 Kia Sedona minivan
We have seen pictures of it before, but these are now official shots. Including the interior. And that interior does seem to the most car-like of all minivans currently offered in the US market. This is a truly modern and clean interior design. The US version will be out early next year as a… Continue reading 2021 Kia Carnival: our 2022 Kia Sedona minivan

2021 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo: finally…
As expected, the “wagon” version of the Porsche Taycan EV will look exactly like the 2018 Mission-E Sport Turismo Concept from 2018. Which is great news. Although the concept was a raised up wagon style with plastic cladding, it looks like the production version could be offered as a regular “low” wagon as well.… Continue reading 2021 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo: finally…

Toyota C-HR: small revisions for 2021?
From the top picture, it looks like the small Toyota CH-R could be getting a few small changes soon. The front end looks quite a bit more aggressive than the current version (bottom). Headlights have been redesigned as well. And obviously, the black plastic cladding around the wheel is now quite huge. (Did the… Continue reading Toyota C-HR: small revisions for 2021?

2021/22 Acura MDX: another picture
Just one more picture of the all-new generation MDX. Which will probably be introduced soon. Again, let’s hope the all new V6 from the new TLX comes standard in the large SUV. Since a V6 is still the powertrain of choice in the class. (Except for the Highlander Hybrid which ueses a 4 cylinder)… Continue reading 2021/22 Acura MDX: another picture

An all-new Kia Sedona minivan is right around the corner. The top photo is the best I have seen so far of its new interior. Its newset competiton will come from the redesigned Toyota Sienna.
