Citroen E-Mehari
I think this is great! I mean really. Finally, Citroen is coming up with a modern version of the cool old Mehari from the 60’s. And it’s Electric! Of course. Which makes it the perfect 21st Century Mehari. It even gets up to 125 Miles on a charge. Which is more than other more expensive… Continue reading Citroen E-Mehari

Hyundai IONIQ
We finally get to see something official about the all new Hyundai Prius competitor. This does look more interesting than the camouflaged cars we have seen. And, a thousand times nicer than the horrific new Prius. (Which is even much worse in real life) I think there is a huge opportunity for Hyundai here. As… Continue reading Hyundai IONIQ

How about some AMC Pacer ads.
Not much going on today. So why not some cool 7’s Pacer ads. I was watching an old tim, from 1977, and the main character was driving one. New of course. And it reminded me of how cool I always thought it was . (Especially the original design. Before they added a chrome grille to… Continue reading How about some AMC Pacer ads.

2017 Buick Envision
Nothing “all new” since this has been on sale in China for a while. We now know that the US version will get the 2.0 Liter Turbo with 252HP. With a 6 speed auto (Where is GM’s new 8 speed?) It is based on the same platform as the new Cadillac XT5. And, I must… Continue reading 2017 Buick Envision

Hollywood sight
I saw this in the streets a few days ago. Just south of Sunset Blvd. A very rare, but sad sight indeed. An old Lotus Elite. Hadn’t seen one in… well, I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen one in real life. It was produced from 1974 to 1982. This one has the side markers,… Continue reading Hollywood sight

Volvo S90 VS.Jaguar XF
I keep comparing the 2 cars. I know… But, to me, they are both shocking in their own way. The S90 interior is shocking because it is so great. And coming from such a “blah brand” like Volvo. A brand that most people had written off. A brand that is not associate with style. The… Continue reading Volvo S90 VS.Jaguar XF

BMW i5
BMW is supposed to add an all new i5 model to its hybrid/electric line up. And it could be as soon as late next year. It is supposed to be based on a longer version of the carbon fiber (expensive) i3 platform. Therefore sharing some of the cost of the i3. The larger model will… Continue reading BMW i5

Super grainy pictures of the all new Genesis G90
I know, these are not very flattering. I am sure the actual thing is much more impressive than this… Still. These are probably some of the last spy shots of the big Hyundai/Genesis before we see the official stuff. So why not…

2017 Volvo S90
Here it is, finally. The new “big” Volvo sedan, after 10 years of the current S80. (Which, i must say, aged quite well) Lower and sportier, It looks much better than the XC90 it is based on. The interior is even better. Closer to the concept we saw last year. In real life, the XC-90… Continue reading 2017 Volvo S90

Chevrolet Trax test drive
The little Trax is pretty familiar by now. I remember back when GM didn’t want to sell it in the US. (For a while it was sold in Europe and Canada. While the US was only getting the Buick Encore version) But with a bunch of newcomers like the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3, GM… Continue reading Chevrolet Trax test drive

All new 2016/17 Mercedes E Class
We will see the real thing very soon. But so far, even with all that pixelated stuff, this is the best picture of the new interior I’ve seen. And, as expected, it looks exactly like a cross between the C-Class and the S-Class. No surprises here… Also, the mix of a wide angle lens and… Continue reading All new 2016/17 Mercedes E Class

Genesis G90
This is the replacement for the Hyundai Equus. And, so far, looking the part of an expensive sedan. Unlike the new Cadillac CT6. (Which is such a huge disappointment in real life) They claim it will cost the same as the current model. So figure around $62 000. (although it might actually be cheaper since… Continue reading Genesis G90

2017 Kia Forte Facelift
I really like the Forte. Especially the current generation. I really nice blend of conservative and modern design. I think this “facelift” is useless. I even think the new front end is worse. Much worse! (what do you think of that?!) This is all kind of ridiculous…(At least they didn’t rename it “Costanza Jr.”)

2016 Kia Codensa
Sure, it looks a bit slicker when compared to the outgoing model. But not that much better… The current one is really nice. Inside and out. The new one will be more like the new Optima inside. Which isn’t the best. And certainly not an improvement. Plus, this one already looks a little bit like… Continue reading 2016 Kia Codensa

2017 Subaru Impreza Sedan
So, there was yet another Impreza Concept at the autoshow last week. ( You can still see it in L.A) And now, we can see a prototype of the real thing. And, as usual, it is quite a let down. As you can see. Now when you compare it to the current one (above), it… Continue reading 2017 Subaru Impreza Sedan

Kia Optima wagon
I remember last year, back when they unveiled the Sportspace Concept (Red car above). Kia mentioned that there wasn’t going to be a wagon version of the “then” Next Optima. Now we know that was all BS… This will probably be sold mostly in Europe. Where it will compete with wagon versions of the VW… Continue reading Kia Optima wagon

Auto Show Quick notes: Interiors
The new Mini Clubman is really roomy. This could truly work as a compact family car. On top of that, everything feels and looks good. (Except the never ending amount of shiny bits everywhere…) On the other hand, this is sad. The US/China Only Passat interior looked old when it came out back in 2011.… Continue reading Auto Show Quick notes: Interiors

2017 Volvo S90
!st official teasers for Volvo’s next big sedan. It will be based on the same platform used by the XC90, which has, so far, been getting great reviews. Not really a surprise. Since we have seen pictures of the toy version for months now. Still, a really good looking car. Something different from the German… Continue reading 2017 Volvo S90

BMW Compact Sedan Concept
They’re not calling it the 1series sedan, but that’s pretty much what it is. We all know by now that a new 1 series hatch is due out pretty soon. Based on the same platform as the Mini and BMW Active Tourer. And a new sedan style will be added to the lineup (After years… Continue reading BMW Compact Sedan Concept
