2021 Hyundai Kona: still pretty busy…
For 2021, Hyundai has given the Kona a mid-cycle facelift. Which does include a cleaner and more modern front end. As well as a redesigned rear bumper. While the front end does look cleaner and sleeker, I wonder why the rear end is still that busy. With that weird second… Continue reading 2021 Hyundai Kona: still pretty busy…

2022 Genesis GV70: revealing a bit more…
These 2 spy shots were taken a few months apart. The top one, newer, shows a much more finished rear end, with the actual tail lights installed. These are obviously two different versions of the same cars since the exhaust pipes are very different. Since it is based on the same platform as the G70… Continue reading 2022 Genesis GV70: revealing a bit more…

Drive: To the Griffith Observatory.
This is a quick drive I did a few days ago while test driving a Cadillac XT-6.(Test drive report coming up soon) With all the fires we have been having nearby, it wasn’t the clearest day, but you can still enjoy a great view from up there. For movie fans, at 9;45mn into the video,… Continue reading Drive: To the Griffith Observatory.

2022 Kia EV: new illustrations
These new illustrations of the upcoming Kia EV actually look pretty close to the spy shots we have seen before (like the one above) I still… Continue reading 2022 Kia EV: new illustrations

Next Nissan Z: new concept around the corner
Well, that was quick… Yesterday’s rumor could not have been more wrong. Since we will see a concept version (rumored to be close to the production version) on September 15. Which is good news. No idea of when the actual car will be available, but it won’t be as late as previously mentioned (which was… Continue reading Next Nissan Z: new concept around the corner

Next Nissan Z: another illustration
I have to say, I really like this one. I think this is the closest I have seen to the official teaser from Nissan.It also has a simplicity I like. This is a simple, no BS retro-modern design. So far, news about the new Z haven’t been great lately. Apparently, it would only start… Continue reading Next Nissan Z: another illustration

2022 Mercedes C_Class sedan: same old…
This is from a french site. And it still looks like an illustration. Although it could be really close to the real thing from previous spy shots we have seen. Again, this will just look like a cross between the current C-Class (90%) and the E-Class (10%). So basically, a very invisible, and very… Continue reading 2022 Mercedes C_Class sedan: same old…

2022 Kia Sportage
On this new spy shot, we can see an interesting (or just plain weird) swoop line part of the rear door. We have seen millions of spy photos of the upcoming Hyundai Tucson, looking quite stylish already. The Kia Sportage cousin used to be the more stylish, European looking one of the two. I am… Continue reading 2022 Kia Sportage

Next Nissan Z: not next year…
Apparently, the cool teaser we saw a few months ago about all these new Nissan cars didn’t mean an all-new Z was coming up soon. Now, it is not expected until late 2022. That’s right, 2 years! The current Z is basically a zombie car. And has been for a few years. I test drove… Continue reading Next Nissan Z: not next year…

2021 Toyota 86: new illustrations
I know these do look close to the many spy shots we have seen so far. But let’s hope they are all wrong. As they show a car that is just nothing special. Which is the opposite of what a cool sporty car should be. It should be cool and special. This is just… Continue reading 2021 Toyota 86: new illustrations

Mystery SUV: what is this?
The sad part is: this could be almost anything, from anyone… It has a modern SUV shape. Just like any other “modern SUV” these days. It does look a bit like a Nissan, except for the front end… What do you think it is? 1- Nissan Rogue Sport 2- New Mitsubishi model 3- New… Continue reading Mystery SUV: what is this?

Tesla Model Y: new wheels for China?
From this photo, it looks like the Chinese built Tesla Model Y will get a different wheel design than the ones made in the US. And maybe other small changes. The current wheel designs Tesla currently offers on most of their cars look like cheap hubcaps. Even on the t Model S. Which is… Continue reading Tesla Model Y: new wheels for China?

2021/22 Honda Civic Illustrations : Meh…
This looks like it should have been a previous generation design. I still think the current model looks fine and more modern than this. Let’s hope… Continue reading 2021/22 Honda Civic Illustrations : Meh…

2021 Peugeot 3008: a little better?
Peugeot is getting ready to modify its popular 3008 SUV/Crossover/Wagon for the new year. Which might actually be an improvement. During my travels in Europe a few years ago, I saw a few of these in person. All I can say is that design is quite a mess. Gone is the classy feel of… Continue reading 2021 Peugeot 3008: a little better?

My first sighting: delivery robot!
Many of you have probably seen this before. But this was the first time for me! While I was shooting a driving video in Hollywood yesterday, I saw this little guy coming from the left, crossing the street. For some reason, my brain made me think it was a shopping cart (pushed by no one),… Continue reading My first sighting: delivery robot!

2022 Jeep Grand Wagonner: one big glass roof coming up.
Jeep released more teasers of their all-new Grand Wagoneer, which is finally coming out. Some day… They have a big “Grand Wagoneer event” next week, but apparently, they will only show a concept version. So basically, that roof might very well not make it to production. Just like Cadillac with the Lyriq, we will… Continue reading 2022 Jeep Grand Wagonner: one big glass roof coming up.

2022 Subaru BRZ: another try
As I mentioned before, the Toyota 86 has been selling very poorly in the US. (less than 4000 sold last year) The Subaru clone did even worse with only 2334 units sold in 2019. And yet, there will be a second-generation coming out next spring. While I am glad to see more 2 door… Continue reading 2022 Subaru BRZ: another try

2021 Mercedes AMG SL: sportier.
Mercedes always keeps the SL model for a while. The current generation came out in 2012. As you can see, an all-new one is on its way. And Mercedes even provided these (fake) spy shots to promote it early. And yes, if that front end looks like an AMG, that’s because it is one.… Continue reading 2021 Mercedes AMG SL: sportier.

2021 Mercedes S-Class: same old…
I am sure the ‘all-new’ 2021 Mercedes S-class will be a fantastic car. But I still think Mercedes is really pushing the ‘design laziness’ to new limits. I know other manufacturers are doing the same thing. Which doesn’t make it right. So far, each generation has looked pretty different from the previous one. Except… Continue reading 2021 Mercedes S-Class: same old…

2022 Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt SUV: finally…
The top photo is a teaser for the all-new Chevrolet Bolt ‘SUV’. Supposedly a slightly larger and roomier version of the Bolt EV. Interesting to notice that it has a different design than the Chinese version, sold as the Buick Velite 6 (2nd pic) The GM preview pic showed to US dealers years ago… Continue reading 2022 Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt SUV: finally…
