2019 Lincoln Nautilus pricing.
I am still not a big fan of that big chrome grille, but I have to admit it is growling on me a bit. At least it looks much nicer on this than on the poor Continental… The Nautilus is a very nice update on the popular MKX. At $43 335, the Nautilus is about… Continue reading 2019 Lincoln Nautilus pricing.

2020 BMW X6
The new X6 is the top picture. “New”… As in “BMW’s idea of new”, which is basically a mix of current and past designs. Now it looks like the next X6 will resemble a 6 series GT on stilts. With a huge grille. Why not, if that’s what people really want…. If you must, head… Continue reading 2020 BMW X6

2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS
The new Blazer will also be offered as a sportier (looking) version called RS. It replaces all the chrome by a black finish. Black wheels. And inside, some color bits here and there. The RS is position between the base and Premier models. I have to say, black wheels and trim are really not “my… Continue reading 2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS

2019 Chevrolet Blazer
While Ford seems to have taken a more retro approach to the pseudo mach SUV with the upcoming Bronco, Chevrolet seems to have got a more modern route with the rebirth of the Blazer. This actually looks almost futuristic from some angles. It will slot between the $24 000 Equinox and the $30 000 Traverse.… Continue reading 2019 Chevrolet Blazer

A few more pictures of the new 2019 Volvo S60
I think this has a really good chance to be a success for Volvo. Sure, sedans aren’t the most popular thing right now. But while Volvo sold only 11 358 units of the previous S60 in the US last year, BMW was still able to move almost 60 000 of the “old” 3 series. (Being… Continue reading A few more pictures of the new 2019 Volvo S60

New Honda Insight Pricing
Including destination, the LX model will start at $23 725. Then you can step up to an EX model for $24 995 or the loaded Touring at $28 985. (Which includes leather, sunroof, more speakers etc…) This basically is right in between the Civic and the Accord. It basically replaces the Hybrid version of the… Continue reading New Honda Insight Pricing

2019 Volvo S60
Today we finally get to see the real thing. And it dos look quite nice. Better than earlier spy shots we had seen. Nothing super modern. Maybe a bit too conservative even. (At least it is not afraid of looking like a sedan. No fake fastback/hatchback look here) But it does look quite upscale. And… Continue reading 2019 Volvo S60

2019 Passat: from the front.
Sure it is different. But it doesn’t seem really more modern. After 8 years! (The current one started production in January 2011. Almost 8 years before the new one goes on sale) The new one is supposed to be about 3 to 4 inches longer. So even roomier I guess. Sales went from over 125… Continue reading 2019 Passat: from the front.

How about a downshot of the all new 2019 VW Passat?
For the millions of you who have begged for this particular angle: here it is. This one looks like a high end model, with larger wheels and a nicer extended sunroof. Let’s hope that sunroof makes it to the US…

Last Volvo S60 teaser video
Still just showing what we have already seen. Since the front end is basically the same as the V60. We won’t have to wait long to see the whole thing since it will be revealed tomorrow. From the spy shots we have seen I am actually not expecting anything amazing. And think the wagon looks… Continue reading Last Volvo S60 teaser video

2019 VW Passat Vs. Current model
The 2019 model is obviously an all new car. None of the panels seem the same. Now the rear door cut is really close to the rear wheel opening. Even getting into the wheel arch, which really looks weird. Otherwise, as I mentioned before, this just looks, again, like a larger Jetta. Just like with… Continue reading 2019 VW Passat Vs. Current model

2019 VW Passat
Looks like a new Passat is coming up for 2019. And, when compared to the current one, it doesn’t look like “just a facelift”. It seems all new. But just like the current one, it now again looks like a big Jetta. Except now, a “big 2018 Jetta”. Apparently, since the Jetta is larger than… Continue reading 2019 VW Passat

2020 Hyundai Sonata
HERE are the fist pictures of the all new Hyundai Sonata for 2020. Looking much sleeker than the current model. (bottom pic) And, could this be hiding a hatchback? Just like the new Buick Regal? That would make it stand out against the competition from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Here is their Le Fit Rouge… Continue reading 2020 Hyundai Sonata

2019 Audi A1
This new 2nd generation A1 looks more aggressive than before. Kind of a cross between the previous generation and the Q2 crossover. The whole thing now looks quite busy. More lines, more plastic bits, fake vents etc… Basically, worse. The grille is also bigger than ever. (Huge fake grille on small cars never look right…)… Continue reading 2019 Audi A1

2019 Suzuki Jimny
As I mentioned earlier, I have never seen that many real pictures of a car that isn’t out yet. Not sure why it is taking Suzuki so long to officially unveil this new Jimny. This is the great, great grand kid of the little Samurai we had in the US back in the 80’s. And… Continue reading 2019 Suzuki Jimny

More pix of the new BMW 8 series
Not an ugly car by any mean. But really nothing special. Basically a redesign of the 6 series coupe. Now called 8. The exact same recipe as before. Which hasn’t really worked for years. So I guess calling it an 8 and charging way more for it might boost profits and make up for lack… Continue reading More pix of the new BMW 8 series

2019 BMW 8 series
Finally, the real BMW 8 series is starting to emerge… I posted pictures of the production model next to last year’s concept. It looks like it has been toned down enough to be as boring as any other BMW design now. Which is too bad. It has more lines and scoops. It just now looks… Continue reading 2019 BMW 8 series

2019 Volvo S60
After seeing 2 spy photos of the new model from a 3.4 rear angle (HERE and HERE) we now get to see more. As expected, from the front it looks almost exactly like the new V60 wagon (bottom pic) From this angle, it just looks like ….. a sedan. I mean, it does look a… Continue reading 2019 Volvo S60

Cadillac CT5
After seeing what Cadillac did with the gorgeous 2019 CT6, but just changing a few things, I have high hopes for the all new smaller CT5. It could end up being another great looking car. And from these new spy shots, it does look like a fastback design. Like the Escala concept. It could even be… Continue reading Cadillac CT5
