2022 VW Taos: the boring choice…
If the “all-new” Taos doesn’t look new at all, it’s because it is not new. Not only does it look almost exactly like the Tiguan, (Which has been on sale in the US for over 3 years). it is also basically the same car as the 3-year-old Chinese VW Tharu. The interior is the… Continue reading 2022 VW Taos: the boring choice…

2022 VW Taos: the real thing.
VW will finally enter the small Crossover market with the Taos, later today. After all these years, they will have something smaller than the Tiguan in the US. Which, basically, will look like a small Tiguan. Since it is a version of the Chinese VW Tharu. All we know so far is how it looks… Continue reading 2022 VW Taos: the real thing.

2021 Honda Ridgeline: a more macho look…
Honda has always had a problem with the Ridgeline. As i seems unable to find an audience. I think a comfortable, “car” based pick-up is a great idea. But with the second generation, Honda had tried to make it look more like a truck. Which, I guess, didn’t appeal to “non-truck people”. At the… Continue reading 2021 Honda Ridgeline: a more macho look…

Honda SUVe Concept: some new footage
The new Honda SUVe concept looks really nice in action. It could be a great new styling direction for the brand. And some of its design will end up in the next generation HR-V, coming to the US next year. From what we have seen of the new HR-V prototypes, it looks like the front… Continue reading Honda SUVe Concept: some new footage

Buick Encore GX: let’s drive to the desert!
I took the new Buck Encore GX for a road trip to the desert. Even though my test car is a FWD model, it had no problem tackling a few rough roads. And it was big enough inside to sleep in during the camping trip. I will post my review and many photos soon.… Continue reading Buick Encore GX: let’s drive to the desert!

2022 Genesis GV70: the electric version!
The GV70 Crossover is not even out yet, and we already get to see what the EV version will look like. Which is, basically, the same as the regular model. Except, of course, for the lack of exhaust pipes and a mostly blocked out front grille. Since Genesis will also offer an electric version… Continue reading 2022 Genesis GV70: the electric version!

2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Sport: new front end.
It looks like the small Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Sport will look about 5% more modern for the new model year… Not sure if that will be enough to increase sales. (under 20 000 of them sold last year) The rear end will get smaller revisions and the interior could see bigger changes as well.… Continue reading 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Sport: new front end.

2022 Kia Sportage: things could get weird…
I know it’s hard to tell on these camouflaged prototypes, but it seems to be the next-generation Sportage could end up looking quite ‘out there’. So far, the Sportage has always been more modern looking than its cousin, the Hyundai Tucson. And we all know how modern the new Tucson is. This means Kia has… Continue reading 2022 Kia Sportage: things could get weird…

2022 Honda HR-V: more spy pix…
Just a few pictures of the next-generation Honda HR-V driving around. I posted a few before. The recent SUV EV Concept is, as mentioned before, a preview of the next HR-V. While it will be sold in China as an EV, Honda might only sell the regular gas version over here. And maybe a… Continue reading 2022 Honda HR-V: more spy pix…

2022 Acura MDX : Teasing the new interior
The all new MDX is a very big deal for Acura. From these tease photos it seems they are keeping the interior quite similar to the very popular RDX, which is great. A larger , more luxurious RDX is exactly what would work for the new MDX. Unfortunately, it looks like they are still pushing… Continue reading 2022 Acura MDX : Teasing the new interior

2022 Genesis GV70: a few more illustrations…
Even though these are NOT the real thing, I think they might be pretty close. I just hope the weird crease on top of the rear fender isn’t that pronounced. (As it looks really awkward on thes illustrations) It will all depend on how Genesis prices this. As a new Brand, I do think… Continue reading 2022 Genesis GV70: a few more illustrations…

Let’s drive: Laurel Canyon
This was a few days ago. With a smokey sky due to surrounding fires… Laurel Canyon is a legendary area of Los Angeles. Driving up and down Laurel Canyon Blvd is always fun. (I used to do it every day for years…) In the video, you can see the historical “Country Canyon Store”. (Mama… Continue reading Let’s drive: Laurel Canyon

Mercedes EQS EV: new teaser
The production version of the Vision EQS Concept will, of course, not be as futuristic. Although, it might still end up looking great. The teaser on top shows a profile that is almost as sleek as the concept (bottom) While it doesn’t look like a very large car on this teaser, it is supposed… Continue reading Mercedes EQS EV: new teaser

2021/22 Fiat 500: tiny suicide door option?
Not actually sure if this is real or not. It looks so weird. And useless! The bottom pic is one of the all-new Fiat 500 EV. A slightly larger model than the current one. And available only (so far) as an EV. There have been rumors of a longer model. maybe one with even… Continue reading 2021/22 Fiat 500: tiny suicide door option?

2021 Jaguar XF: finally a great interior…
The Jaguar XF sedan has been revised for 2021. I think it still looks too much liek a generic Japanese sedan. Like a Subaru. Especially the profile. Jaguar has modified the front and rear ends and it doesn’t really make much of a difference. To me, this still doesn’t look as distinctive as a… Continue reading 2021 Jaguar XF: finally a great interior…

2022 Genesis GV70: how about these pipes???
For some reason, I have seen at least 3 different exhaust pipes design on various GV70 prototypes. But these seem really huge! I don’t remember seeing that on other genesis Models. Maybe this is some “super special sport version”??? What do you think???

2022 Kia K7: No more Cadenza
And let’s not forget: with all these new Hyundai/Kia/Genesis models coming up, they are still working on this new K7 sedan! Which will replace the old Cadenza. Not sure if we will be getting this in the US or not. Since the current generation has been such a poor seller over here for… Continue reading 2022 Kia K7: No more Cadenza

Buick Encore GX test drive coming up.
I just got a Buick Encore GX Essence-FWD for the week. I will be taking a small camping trip with it in a couple of days. So far I have only driven around town. All I can say is that it is very quiet. And does have quite a smooth ride. It is a… Continue reading Buick Encore GX test drive coming up.

All-new Nissan Note: still testing…
As you can see from this new spy shot (top pic), the photo I published back in February was quite accurate. Showing the all-new generation Nissan Note hatchback. The new Note shows huge design influences from the Nissan Ariya EV. At least upfront. Which means this could probably become Nissan’s new front-end design for other… Continue reading All-new Nissan Note: still testing…

Chevrolet Trailblazer test drive.
The new Trailblazer has a very nice and pleasant design. Which gives it a friendly personality. I have actually seen a few people noticing it while I was driving it. And it seems to be one of the fastest-selling cars these days, so I would say most people really like the design. Same thing… Continue reading Chevrolet Trailblazer test drive.
