Just a few pictures from this amazing place.Which used to be the old Doheny mansion in Beverly Hills. Fantastic cars, old and new.

The new Compact Cadillac will start at $33 990.Not that cheap. Considering the base model comes with a 2.5 Liter engine with 200hp. Pretty much “Honda Accord specs” more than BMW. A more interesting option, (and closer to the new 3 series) is the $35 795 2.0 Liter turbo version with 270.The 2.0 Liter is… Continue reading Cadillac ATS Pricing.

I do like this car. And I think it looks really good in this commercial.Which is actually a really good one. Not overdone. Good job.

We never got the first one here in the US. But you can see how subtle the changes are from the 2nd to the 3rd one.Most people won’t even be able to tell. We will not be getting the 2 door hatch pictures here.Instead, the 4 door hatch will return to the US, and the… Continue reading 3 generations of Audi A3

Driving a new Verano this week.An interesting idea. basically an Opel Astra with a trunk instead of a hatchback.And a larger 2.4 Liter engine. Does it translate into real luxury? As usual you are welcome to ask anything you would like to know about the car.

Now we have official pictures. And I think it does look really good.Especially when compared to the sea of boring German designs out there.And much better than the large Hyundai models like the Genesis or Equus. So far, the K9 will be available in Korea with 2 different engines, both V6. But it is coming… Continue reading Kia K9

Kind of…Chinese car maker BAIC aquired the rights to the 9.3 and previous 9.5 platforms from GM about 3 years ago.They quickly showed prototype cars which basically looked like Saabs with redesigned from end. But at this year’s Chinese auto show, they are showing what they claim are very close to production designs. The C70G… Continue reading Chinese Saabs.

Just a small teaser for now. But it already show a really modern looking design. From what we’ve seen in spy shots, the front end will look a lot like the new Zoe electric car, which is a good thing.I just saw the Zoe in person a few weeks ago, and it is quite a… Continue reading 2013 Renault Clio

The Quest was never a popular option among Minivan buyers.And it seems to be a trend with the current design.I have only seen a couple on the road since they came out. While the redesigned Honda and Toyota Minivans are everywhere. For this one, Nissan took a more boxy approach. Also giving it a more… Continue reading Nissan Quest test drive

Interesting how they sold this car.Value, value value. No mention of how good it is.As long as it’s cheaper than the competition. Which, in these glorious days, was the Pinto…

The RAV4 is definitely due for a redesign.The current model is now 7 years old. And everything in that segment is newer. And much better looking. This is, of course, just an illustration. But it does match the recent spy shots we’ve seen of the real thing. I wouldn’t bet on the big 3.5 Liter… Continue reading 2013 Toyota RAV4

Kia will bring some changes to the Sorento for the new year.New front and rear ends. As well as this revised interior.It looks like the center console will be receiving most of the changes inside. the color pic is from the current model. I drove the Sorento last year and quite liked it. But also… Continue reading 2013 Kia Sorento

Just got a new Quest for a week. So, as usual, you can ask me anything you “need to know” about it. The one I am driving is a loaded LE version.

A few days ago, the teaser for this C Concept looked like it could be a preview of the next Honda Accord.Well… Lets hope not. The general profile could be fine, but the horrific front and rear ends should never make it to a production model.It looks very.. well.. Chinese.Which, I guess, is fine since… Continue reading Honda C Concept
