2023 Ford Ranger: official pix…
At least to me, this “new” Ford Ranger doesn’t look that new. Sure, it looks different. But also like it came out a few years ago. I guess you can’t expect much from a mainstream truck design. Besides the front end, the “all-new” Maverick doesn’t look that modern either. Supposedly, the photos above show the… Continue reading 2023 Ford Ranger: official pix…

2022 Mazda CX-60: new illustration…
This illustration is abviously based on the previous spy shot we have seen just days ago of the upcoming Mazda CX-60. Which makes look pretty realistic and very close to the real thing. Unfortunately. As this new CX-60 doesn’t really look new. Our US CX-50 looks more modern and newer than this. As mentioned earlier,… Continue reading 2022 Mazda CX-60: new illustration…

2024 Polestar 5: new photos and video…
Polestar has just released a new video showcasing the process of turning the gorgeous Precept Concept from 2020 into the 2024 Polestar 5 sedan. The video itself is full of the usual PR BS. And borderline obnoxious at times. Of course, telling us in many ways how Polestar is such a special company, etc… Basically,… Continue reading 2024 Polestar 5: new photos and video…

Kia EV6: live video from the Auto Show…
The 2023 Kia EV6 was one of my favorite cars at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show. The show itself pretty much sucked, with many brands missing and no big news. But seeing the EV6 and Ioniq 5 in person was a very bright spot. I got to sit in the black EV6 on the… Continue reading Kia EV6: live video from the Auto Show…

2023 Lexus BX: new illustration…
For some reason, there is a rumor about a new, upcoming compact Lexus SUV called the BX. Which obviously would be even smaller than the UX. Which I think is weird and probably not true. I cannot see why Lexus would venture into that market. The think illustrated above looks to be the size of… Continue reading 2023 Lexus BX: new illustration…

2022/23 BMW 7 series: new illustration…
The more we get to see of the next-generation BMW 7 series, the worst it seems to be. As spy shots reveal a bit more every time, new illustrations emerge. And they look from bad to worse. I’d put the one above in the “ghastly” folder. Not because of the illustration itself. But because it… Continue reading 2022/23 BMW 7 series: new illustration…

2023 Kia Niro: official teasers…
These are the first official pix we et to see of the all-new Kia Niro. I am glad to see a big influence from the great EV6 inside. The door panels seem the same. As well as the cool Sound/Climate control unit below the center vents. The outside is still a mystery. It could be… Continue reading 2023 Kia Niro: official teasers…

2023 BMW: 5 series and X1…
Guess who’s getting a double screen? That’s right, the 2023 5 series sedan is. Just like any other BMW model. And just like everything else. You would think a sedan starting at over $55 000 would try something special. But no… And guess who’s getting an even larger grille? That’s right, the 2023 BMW X1… Continue reading 2023 BMW: 5 series and X1…

Auto Show notes: Hyundai Ioniq 5…
I was really eager to see the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 in person. As this retro-futuristic “Giugiaro-like” 80’s design is one of my current favorites. And the Ioniq 5 does not disappoint in person. It just looks great from any angle. Although I have to say, things would be even better without the wheel arches.… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Hyundai Ioniq 5…

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…
