2022 BMW iX interior: more bad news…
There are so many bad things inside the new BMW iX, it’s hard to keep up. It’s actually a gold mine of horrible design elements. I had almost forgotten about this one: the odd mount behind the screen. They couldn’t instal the screen, right on the dash? What’s going on there? Why does it have… Continue reading 2022 BMW iX interior: more bad news…

2022 Ford Escape PHEV: new interior…
This is another example of Ford models looking more upscale in China than in the US. The Escape. It launched in China with a different front end and interior than the one we get over here. While I’m not sure I like the Chinese front end better, I think the interior is quite an improvement… Continue reading 2022 Ford Escape PHEV: new interior…

2022 Ford Maverick: this is it…
The new Ford Maverick looks exactly like what we expected: a small pick-up for truck people. It looks like Ford tried very hard to make it look like a small F-150. Which is basically what the truck audience probably wants. And it could be another huge hit for Ford. For non-truck people who still like… Continue reading 2022 Ford Maverick: this is it…

2022 Buick Enclave: more photos…
Buick didn’t really need to improve the Enclave, but it seems they actually did for 2022. The larger grille seems to work, for once. ANd the rear end somehow does look more upscale than before. As I said, they didn’t change much, but they didn’t have to. In my opinion, the Enclave is still one… Continue reading 2022 Buick Enclave: more photos…

2022 Kia Sportage: new illustrations…
These new illustrations of the 2022 Kia Sportage seem very close to the official teasers released just a few days ago. But they also look quite messy. Just when the teasers looked pretty good, new illustrations still show a weird and heavy-handed design. Maybe it’s in the details, and the real thing will look… Continue reading 2022 Kia Sportage: new illustrations…

Battle of the 2022s: Rogue Sport, Taos and Corolla Sport…
With all the recent press stuff about the VW Taos and Corolla Sport, I had almost forgotten about the all-new Nissan Rogue Sport for 2022. I know, the US version has not been unveiled yet (Nissan is currently busy with the Pathfinder) Still, we already saw the European version (Quaskai) and our US model will… Continue reading Battle of the 2022s: Rogue Sport, Taos and Corolla Sport…

2022 Toyota Corolla Cross: of course…
This is the US version of the new Toyota Corolla Cross. This is not a surprise, since we have seen the overseas version a few weeks ago. And the US one is the same. Except we won’t be getting the Hybrid version here Instead, our version only comes with a 2.0 Liter with 169… Continue reading 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross: of course…

2022 BMW i4: price and specs…
The new BMW i4 looks like Marilyn Monroe next to the iX. Even with its weirdo Bugs Bunny grille. At least, it has nice BMW sedan proportions. And there seems to be less plastic crap all over. As I mentioned before, it is basically an electric 4 Series Gran Coupe. Which is fine. (Not sure… Continue reading 2022 BMW i4: price and specs…

2022 BMW iX: specs and price…
Let’s start by saying the new BMW iX probably drives really nice. And probably feels really solid, well made, etc… But… What I am seeing here is has to be the worst BMW design of all time. The exterior reaches a pinnacle of “overdone vulgarity”. With so many horrible bits/trim, it’s hard to look at.… Continue reading 2022 BMW iX: specs and price…

Next Generation Subaru Impreza: new illustration…
I think the current Impreza is just OK. At least the hatch. Oddly enough, I also think it does look better as the Crosstrek. Even with all that cheapo-looking plastic cladding everywhere. Somehow the whole thing has a cute look and feel to it. This new illustration shows us what the next generation sedan… Continue reading Next Generation Subaru Impreza: new illustration…

2022 Ford Fusion/Mondeo: new spy shot…
We have seen the all-new Ford Evos for China a few weeks ago. And Ford has claimed the model will not be sold outside of China. And yet, it is still testing in Europe (above) as well as in the US. Looking exactly the same… They did the same thing years ago with the Ranger.… Continue reading 2022 Ford Fusion/Mondeo: new spy shot…

2022 BMW i4: a look inside…
While BMW did unveil the new i4 EV a while ago, they never showed us the interior of the new electric hatchback. Now we get to see it. And it basically looks like a 3 series interior with the iX screen on top of it. I do like the current 3/4 series interior. I… Continue reading 2022 BMW i4: a look inside…

2022 Kia Sportage: official teasers…
Well, well, well… We finally get to see something official about the all-new Kia Sportage for 2022. After about 18 years of spy shots. And the real thing looks much better than any of the weirdo illustrations I have seen so far. The interior seems really nice too! And it even looks quite upscale. It… Continue reading 2022 Kia Sportage: official teasers…

2022 Kia Niro: another pic…
Nothing we haven’t seen before, really… The Niro really needs to morph into a great PHEV wagon with close to 100 miles EV range (Or at least something over 60) to stay relevant in a world of EVs. What do you think?

2022 Ford Maverick: Very soon…
After the fantastic F-150 Lightning. Ford will have another big news item soon. As the all-new Maverick compact pick-up truck is now scheduled to be unveiled within the next 2 weeks. Based on the same platform as the Bronco Sport, the Maverick could be “all the truck people need” for many. Even though it… Continue reading 2022 Ford Maverick: Very soon…

2022 Mazda CX-50: new illustrations…
These new illustrations of the upcoming 2022 (or 23?) Mazda CX-50 looks pretty realistic to me. They also look really close to the real thing I posted a while ago. Even under that camouflage wrap, you can already tell a lot. Like the huge black plastic fender trim. The lights. The fake vents above the… Continue reading 2022 Mazda CX-50: new illustrations…

2022 Toyota Land Cruiser: more spy pix…
We’ve pretty much seen the whole thing already. And yet it hasn’t been officially unveiled yet for some reason. So here are a few more pix of what we already know… (That wheelbase looks really short, doesn’t tit?)

New Tesla Model X interior: what can I say…
Except that, at least from what I’ve seen, it is now very far behind the competition. From either Rivian, Lucid, or Mercedes. The Model X currently starts at $90 000! This is just not a $90 000 car interior. Again, maybe the real thing magically looks 100 times better in real life… The big… Continue reading New Tesla Model X interior: what can I say…

2022 Kia Sportage: a look inside…
The seats and doors are usually not the most fascinating parts of a car interior. So there you go. Now we can all rest easy. As the cars and doors of the 2022 Kia Sportage look OK. They’re not terrible…

2022 Kia Sportage: weirdo lights in sight…
Every illustration of spy shots we have seen of this car is weird. Now we get to see the super busy-looking headlight arrangement. I hate to say, but I think it could end up being a case of ” trying way too hard”. Although, I hope I’m wrong. So far, the Sportage has always been… Continue reading 2022 Kia Sportage: weirdo lights in sight…
