Mazda MX 30 interior: the video…
Just a short video showing the cool interior of the new Mazda MX-30. As you can see, the Mazdas on the floor were brought in by Galpin. Which is a huge dealership in Los Angeles. Mazda didn’t bother to bring anything to the show themselves. Galpin also brought Hondas and Volvos. Also otherwise absent from… Continue reading Mazda MX 30 interior: the video…

2022 Subaru WRX: video…
While so many brands were not at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, Subaru was. With a giant forest display. And next to it, the new WRX. by itself. With no one around…

Auto Show interiors: Mazda MX-30…
We all know the new Mazda MX-30 is pretty much a joke. With a ridiculous 100 miles electric range, it doesn’t stand a chance. Yet, I was surprised to like it so much when I actually saw it at the Auto Show. I think it looks very nice in person. But the big surprise… Continue reading Auto Show interiors: Mazda MX-30…

2022 Lincoln Zephyr: one great looking sedan…
Almost shocking how good-looking this new Lincoln is. The new Zephyr looks better than what Cadillac and many others currently offer. And it is really too bad we are missing out on this. It is powered by Ford’s “2.0 Liter-that-is-in-everything”. Which is fine. No word on a hybrid. I still think this could have made… Continue reading 2022 Lincoln Zephyr: one great looking sedan…

2023 Hyundai Venue: that “mid-cycle facelift”…
The Hyundai Venues always look to me like a 3-year-old with giant braces. That big grille is just too big for that little shape. And so far, it hasn’t been a hit for Hyundai. With only around 19 000 sold last year, it is far behind the Nissan Kicks with almost 59 000 sold. It… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Venue: that “mid-cycle facelift”…

Auto Show interior notes: good and bad…
One of the cars I have been curious to see in the flesh was the Ford Bronco. I had read reviews saying how cheap the interior is etc… Well, it’s even worse in real life. It is very hard to capture in photos. But in the flesh, the hard plastics almost everywhere just look and… Continue reading Auto Show interior notes: good and bad…

2023 Genesis GV70 “Electrified”: the “regular” EV…
Genesis just introduced the electric version of their new GV70 SUV. Specs are very similar to the Ioniq5/EV6, with super-fast charging. (If you can find a 350kW charger) The range is rated at 312 miles in the Chinese test cycle. Which should translate into less than 300 over here. Still, this will probably appeal to… Continue reading 2023 Genesis GV70 “Electrified”: the “regular” EV…

2023 Kia EV6: amazing in person…
Just like everyone else, I had seen 100s of photos of the new Kia EV6. This week was the first time I actually saw one and sat in it. And all I can say is “WOW”. I also have to mention, that I am a huge fan of that interior color that I have not… Continue reading 2023 Kia EV6: amazing in person…

2023/24 Kia EV5/7: next in line…
Even though Kia just showed us the goody-looking EV9 concept, their next EV will be this smaller EV7. Unless is actually small enough to be called EV5. So far, the profile does feel like a tall boxy version of the EV6. But these headlights already look quite busy. More like the new Sportage. If it… Continue reading 2023/24 Kia EV5/7: next in line…

2021 Los Angeles Auto Show: don’t bother…
Of course, I went to the Auto Show press day yesterday. And let me rant… I know this is still a pretty bad and difficult year for year. For almost everything. And I do applaud the fact that we actually have an Auto Show in Los Angeles this year. But it is actually a shell… Continue reading 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show: don’t bother…

2023 Nissan Ariya: official pricing and info…
We are finally getting to know how much the new Nissan Aryia will cost. The base model will start at around $46 000. Which is, of course, way cheaper than a Tesla Model Y. But still around $6000 than the base VW ID.4. Although the Nissan has a greater range of 300 miles, it seems… Continue reading 2023 Nissan Ariya: official pricing and info…

Fisker Ocean: live from the L.A Auto Show…
I just saw the all-new Fisker Ocean electric SUV in person a few hours ago. And it does look quite nice in person. Although it is the production version, it still felt like a prototype to me. Not sure why. The rear lights for some reason don’t look like production units. And there are no… Continue reading Fisker Ocean: live from the L.A Auto Show…

Lincoln Zephyr: a look inside…
Just like outside, the all-new Lincoln Zephyr sedan looks a lot like the concept inside. The main event is that huge screen across the whole thing. Which is also used in Ford’s Evos. Which I think would be really weird and very distracting when driving. Something I hope stays in China, where these seem quite… Continue reading Lincoln Zephyr: a look inside…

2023 Fisker Ocean: the production model…
Fisker has just unveiled the production version of the Fisker Ocean EV. Which, to me, looks exactly like the concept or pre-production model we saw last year (orange one) Apparently, this will be built by Magna Steyr. An Austrian company that already builds the Jaguar E-Pace and I-Pace. The BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra. As… Continue reading 2023 Fisker Ocean: the production model…

2023 Mazda CX-60: new spy shot…
A European reader just sent me this. (Thanks!). And it looks like the all-new RWD Mazda CX-60 is just ready to come out. It might seem strange at first since we just saw the new CX-50 yesterday. But remember, the CX-50 is for US/Canada only. Mazda figured out the rest of the world needs… Continue reading 2023 Mazda CX-60: new spy shot…

2023 Mazda CX-50: official video…
Really nice to see the new Mazda CX-50 “in action”. But we could really do without the cheezy father/daughter storyline. The terrible added sound effects etc… Why? Why not just the car? If you don’t have Ricardo Montalban to show off your new model, just show the car. And just the car.

2022 Genesis GV70 electric: very soon…
Apparently, Genesis will show the electric version of the brand new GV70 SUV in just a few days. We have been talking mostly about their new GV60. Which is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV 6. But I really think the electric GV70 will be a more important… Continue reading 2022 Genesis GV70 electric: very soon…

Mazda CX-50: cool walk around video from Canada…
Looks like this lucky Canadian guy got to see the all-new 2023 Mazda CX-50 in person. Before everyone else. And talks about it (unfortunately, I cannot understand what he’s saying…) Still. We do get a really good look at the new Mazda SUV. Inside and out. Which is cool… I think the CX-50 looks just… Continue reading Mazda CX-50: cool walk around video from Canada…

2023 Mazda CX-50: official pix…
I think the first official photos of the all-new Mazda CX-50 are pretty promising. Unlike early rumors, the CX-50 is not based on the new upcoming larger RWD platform. But on the FWD CX-30 platform. But unlike the CX-30, the CX-50 will be AWD only. And while Mazda will continue selling the CX-5 for… Continue reading 2023 Mazda CX-50: official pix…

2022 Volvo XC40: some changes for the new year…
And why??? The front end of the cool-looking Volvo XC-40 was perfectly fine. The new headlights are not an improvement at all. And do not match the rest of the angular design as well. This is just changing for the sake of change. I cannot see anything else new. Inside, there seems to be more… Continue reading 2022 Volvo XC40: some changes for the new year…
