AutoShow Quick notes: New Cadillac interiors
I finally got to sit inside the big CT6. A car that, I think, is such a disappointment in the pictures I had seen to it. In real life. It is big. And… we’ll. Still disappointing. It looks really, really boring. And even awkward. (I mean look at that cut line for the trunk!) There… Continue reading AutoShow Quick notes: New Cadillac interiors

AutoShow Quick notes: Lincoln MKX interior
I was really impressed by the new Lincoln MKX. A very nice looking SUV. And an even better interior. And it starts at about $3000 less than the new Lexus RX350. (The one that was design in Bizarro world) I just noticed how nice of a place this would be to travel. Or just drive… Continue reading AutoShow Quick notes: Lincoln MKX interior

Infiniti Q30/QX30
They are basically the same car. The QX is just a raised up AWD version of the Q. And they both look great in person. I am still surprised that Infiniti decided to bring both to the US. Which is great news. I think they look as good (maybe better) as the Mercedes GLA they… Continue reading Infiniti Q30/QX30

2017 Buick Lacrosse
Again, the current Lacrosse is a car I really enjoy. So I don’t think this is such a improvement, really. I mean it is nice. But I really was expecting something more. Something a bit closer to last year’s Avenir concept. The interior is very nice too. But so is the current one. And that… Continue reading 2017 Buick Lacrosse

All new Mazda CX-9: the surprise
I have always been a fan of the current model. And from the pictures, this all new one looked quite similar, which is fine. But in real life, the whole thing looks much more muscular and refined. (A Mazda rep told me they are moving it up the scale) And the interior is downright luxurious.… Continue reading All new Mazda CX-9: the surprise

All new Mazda CX-9
Looking pretty great. And one of the best interiors around. Much nicer than Murano and any Lexus competition.

2017 Buick LaCrosse
Still looking a lot like a big Malibu. But a really good looking one. Interior looks really good in real life. Much (MUCH) better than the cheap looking CT 6 interior…

2017 Lincoln MKZ
I really think that new front end ruins it. I mean now they will try to stick that Continental concept grille on everyting??? Just when they started looking nice…

2017 Fiat 124
I know this is a Miata with a new body. But since I am not a huge fan of the new Miata design, I actually like this Fiat version better. Miata fans won’t like it. And Fiat purists might not either. Seeing this as “not a real Fiat”. What I see is Italian design built… Continue reading 2017 Fiat 124

2017 Buick Lacrosse
I have always been a big fan of the current Buick Lacrosse. It is (still) a really good looking car. With a very nice interior. And it really is a pleasure to drive. But I must say, I was expecting a bit more for the all new one. I mean, this looks fine. Slick. But… Continue reading 2017 Buick Lacrosse

More pictures of the all new 2016 Honda Civic Coupe
First… What is wrong with Honda’s PR department?!?! A few months ago we got these “1st official” horribly fake looking pictures of the new Civic sedan. Now we get horribly depressing interior color. I mean look at this! Grey interiors can be nice. Very nice. But this is terrible. It makes the whole thing look… Continue reading More pictures of the all new 2016 Honda Civic Coupe

2016 Honda Civic Coupe
First official picture of the all new coupe version of the 10th generation Civic!! So far, the usual for a Civic coupe. Same engines as the sedan. Same new features, like available LED headlights, Apple Car play, 7 inch screen, heated seats etc… MPG for both engines comes to a 35MPG average. All this and… Continue reading 2016 Honda Civic Coupe

2017 Ford Escape
Ford claims most of the sheet metal on the 2017 model is new. (Red car is the 2017) So, let’s see. It really doesn’t seem like it at all. Not that an all new car is expected, or even needed. The Escape is still one of the best looking compact SUV around. And it also… Continue reading 2017 Ford Escape

All new 2016 Mazda CX-9
Very early pictures. But these are the first shots of the redesigned CX-9. Looking, of course, really good. But I must say, not a giant leap compared to the still great looking current model. Inside, it seems more inspired by the Mazda6 than the CX-5. (Thank God) Much more very soon. And I will be… Continue reading All new 2016 Mazda CX-9

2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback
Chevrolet was selling a hatchback version of the previous (Still current I guess) Cruze compact in Europe. It was never sold in the US. But GM has mentioned many times that the new model will get a hatchback as well. And it will make it to the US. Quite an easy decision since Chevrolet stopped… Continue reading 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback

Kia Niro
Kia’s all new Hybrid SUV will be coming out next year. It will share a new platform with the new Hyundai “Hybrid only/Prius fighter” hatchback. As you can see, their official sketch is, as usual, pretty optimistic. The real thing (bellow) is much more conservative. Almost devoided of any personality. I guess being one of… Continue reading Kia Niro

2017 Buick Envision
The Envision is the midsize crossover Buick really needs. Right now. The Enclave is old. A new one is still at least a year (or two) away. And the Encore is just too small to sell in big numbers. So a Buick version of the Cadillac XT5 is what they need. It came out in… Continue reading 2017 Buick Envision

Mercedes SL
The front end is all new. And, in my opinion, much better than before. Unfortunately. The rear end hasn’t changed much. ( I guess that would have required too many new metal parts) Inside, I am glad they have not added the floating tablet to the dashboard. The screen was high enough, and they just… Continue reading Mercedes SL
