Some new pictures of a new 2021 Kia Optima. All wet.
Of course, this design would have made a great looking hatchback. but no matter what, this is a very nice looking sedan. It is quite amazing how upscale it looks inside and out. Of course, the one pictured here is probably the top of the line. And that means something around $35 000.… Continue reading Some new pictures of a new 2021 Kia Optima. All wet.

Genesis GV80 interior
We have seen bits and pieces of it before, but this seems to be the best picture so far. It does show a more modern interior than the Lexus RX. And a simpler, cleaner one than what Acura is doing these days. But, as I mentioned before, the Lexus will be new in just over… Continue reading Genesis GV80 interior

Cruising Instagram…
Some interesting peaks at designs that never made it: – 1967 Illustration for a Ford Thunderbird. – Toyota Design department during work on the 2nd generation Celica. Interesting to see front end variations and even a wagon proposal… – The worst Supra I have ever seen… – A strangely super boring Ital Design proposal for… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

2021 BMW M4
These are just illustrations, but both are pretty close to the horror that will be the real thing (pictured HERE) They are also both wrong. Since the huge grille on the production car doesn’t really have the same shape as in these illustrations. And there are no vents underneath. Etc… Still. There is no doubt… Continue reading 2021 BMW M4

More official news about the new Mini Cooper Electric
As you can see, the estimated EV range is now only 110 miles for the US market. Which is really not much… Even for the price. (the estimate for the US market used to be 114 miles) We also get more info about all 3 models available. Which are “Signature”, “Signature Plus” and “Iconic”. Options… Continue reading More official news about the new Mini Cooper Electric

New KIA logo.
I have to say, that it looks more like KLA to me than KIA. I guess it is good for Kia to get a new logo since their products are so different. And so much better than just a few years ago. I have to admit I never really noticed the current Kia logo, so… Continue reading New KIA logo.

Next generation Nissan Z illustration
This looks fine. I mean, it does look like a Z. Although I am not sure the Z should wear the regular Nissan face and grille. Then Z is that special Nissan model that should be different. Just like the Mazda Miata doesn’t use the same grille that is on all other Mazdas these days.… Continue reading Next generation Nissan Z illustration

Next Opel Insignia: Could it end up in the US again?
The Insignia just received a “facelift” for the new year (Pictures HERE). And soon after, GM announced the death of its US version, the Buick Regal. The next generation (illustration above) will, of course, be based on a PSA platform. Probably shared with the Peugeot 508 and upcoming large Citroen sedan. Since PSA now owns… Continue reading Next Opel Insignia: Could it end up in the US again?

2021 Cadillac Escalade
Once again, the Cadillac version of the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe doesn’t have its own design. It is still pretty much the same body as the Chevrolet. And who cars, since GM cannot build them fast enough… As usual, it has its own front and rear end. And now it looks like they are at… Continue reading 2021 Cadillac Escalade

2021 VW Atlas
VW has announced they will be revising the Atlas for the 2021 Model year. (Yellow car above) As you can see, this will be mostly a new front end. And probably rear lights. To basically match the design of the new CrossSport. Inside thy have talked about a larger screen and more standard safety stuff.… Continue reading 2021 VW Atlas

2020 Mercedes GLA
I always liked the GLA, and this one is a nice update. Although it seems to have quite a bit less personality than the first generation. Mercedes has made it taller and tried to make it look more like an SUV. But it still looks like a “slightly taller” hatchback to me. Even more so… Continue reading 2020 Mercedes GLA

2021 Chevrolet Suburban
Same thing as with the Tahoe, the new Suburban seems like a great update. It looks really nice, especially with the interior colors pictured above. This is truly a luxury vehicle. I know these can get very expensive ( I test drove a few) . I just cannot thing what the GMC version can really… Continue reading 2021 Chevrolet Suburban

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe
I think these look like a great update. Just a little more stylish than the Ford Expedition it seems. Maybe not as heavy looking? (At least from these early pictures) Inside, they finally got rid of the column shifter. There is, of course a big screen. And I really wish they had integrated it more… Continue reading 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

2021 Hyundai Santa Cruz
Just another spy shot of Hyundai’s all new Santa Cruz pick up. (First one HERE) Which will do battle with the Honda Ridgeline in the US. It looks like Hyundai isn’t trying to make it look like anything else but a real pick- up truck. Which might be what people want. Since the redesigned, “more… Continue reading 2021 Hyundai Santa Cruz

All new 2021 Fiat 500 Electric
Fiat had announced earlier there would be an all new version of the small 500 hatchback. Finally after all these years (IT came out in Europe in 2007!) But the all new model will be an EV only. The old, current model will still be produced. (Even though it is not sold in the US… Continue reading All new 2021 Fiat 500 Electric

2021 Audi A3 illustration
As the title says, this is just an illustration. And let’s really hope it is off. There is really zero need for a new A3 if it looks like this. The might as well slap new headlight on the current one and design a new dash with a larger screen to match their latest interior… Continue reading 2021 Audi A3 illustration

Cruising Instagram…

Mystery new 7 seater Jeep for the US
The 2 spy shots above show a car with very similar proportions to the Chinese Grand Commander.(Brown car above) Jeep had announced previously that a new model, based on the Grand Commander would appear in the US. Since it is completely covered in thick camouflage, I guess it would indeed be a new design. Or… Continue reading Mystery new 7 seater Jeep for the US

2021 Genesis G70
It looks like 2020 will be quite a year for the new Genesis brand. Soon after the revised 2020 G90, we will be getting a brand new version of the G80 sedan. An all new GV80 SUV. Quickly followed by a smaller GV70. And this (already) revised G70 sedan. Although it is almost fully covered,… Continue reading 2021 Genesis G70
