Buick Encore GX: let’s drive to the desert!
I took the new Buck Encore GX for a road trip to the desert. Even though my test car is a FWD model, it had no problem tackling a few rough roads. And it was big enough inside to sleep in during the camping trip. I will post my review and many photos soon.… Continue reading Buick Encore GX: let’s drive to the desert!

Let’s drive: Laurel Canyon
This was a few days ago. With a smokey sky due to surrounding fires… Laurel Canyon is a legendary area of Los Angeles. Driving up and down Laurel Canyon Blvd is always fun. (I used to do it every day for years…) In the video, you can see the historical “Country Canyon Store”. (Mama… Continue reading Let’s drive: Laurel Canyon

Ford Mustang Mach E : big drop in price!
Not sure why, but the all-new Mustang Mach E EV will be cheaper than previously thought. So far, the biggest drop in price is on the loaded Premium model. Which is now $3000 cheaper. The Mach E does qualify for Federal and state incentives. Which means it would be $37 000 in California (and… Continue reading Ford Mustang Mach E : big drop in price!

Let’s drive: Mulholland Drive
I took a drive along Mulholland drive a few days ago. back when the city was still filled with smoke due to the many local fires. It does created a strange look but also blocks the views of the city… Still, I think the legendary Mulholland road is a wonderful drive to take when… Continue reading Let’s drive: Mulholland Drive

Let’s take a drive…
Yesterday I decided to drive up the coast. As you can see in the video, the full effects of climate change are on display here. While it is not nearly as bad as in San Francisco, it has been like this for days. (You can also see the ashes on the hood of the car… Continue reading Let’s take a drive…

Lucid’s secret 3rd model: Air Coupe, or smaller sedan?
I have seen anyone talking about this yet. But I watched the long video presentation for the Lucid Air yesterday. And at the end, (before the Q&A) they are showing these two Lucid execs ( I didn’t get their names…) walking around what is probably a fake version of the design studio, uncovering stuff they… Continue reading Lucid’s secret 3rd model: Air Coupe, or smaller sedan?

Drive: To the Griffith Observatory.
This is a quick drive I did a few days ago while test driving a Cadillac XT-6.(Test drive report coming up soon) With all the fires we have been having nearby, it wasn’t the clearest day, but you can still enjoy a great view from up there. For movie fans, at 9;45mn into the video,… Continue reading Drive: To the Griffith Observatory.

My first sighting: delivery robot!
Many of you have probably seen this before. But this was the first time for me! While I was shooting a driving video in Hollywood yesterday, I saw this little guy coming from the left, crossing the street. For some reason, my brain made me think it was a shopping cart (pushed by no one),… Continue reading My first sighting: delivery robot!

Week-end drive: Pacific Coast highway
These driving videos are better viewed on a TV. But even on a computer, I hope this can be a small distraction from that overwhelming ‘Twilight Zone’ world we now live in. It is always beautiful to drive down PCH from Point Mugu to Malibu.

Malibu Canyon Drive
All you need for a nice drive is a car and some sun. (Although even the sun isn’t’ required) The road from the 101 freeway to malibu through Malibu Canyon is such a pleasure to drive. And so perfect on a sunny day… On the right of the road (shown on the pic above) is… Continue reading Malibu Canyon Drive

Driving down Vine Street in Hollywood
While I am mostly stuck at home, ( like millions around the world) there is one thing I can still do: drive. There are plenty of interesting areas around where I live. And I thought I could share some of my neighborhood drives. I mean, why not…

2022 GMC HUMMER EV: some teaser stuff
That video is pretty obnoxious. But so is the idea of a 1000HP Luxury electric Hummer SUV in the first place. While the design od the pick-up versions look pretty dorky to me (with such weird proportions) The SUV version seems like a pretty cool, almost retro, design. I guess this could be “GM’s New… Continue reading 2022 GMC HUMMER EV: some teaser stuff

2021 Ariya: all-new video teaser
Again, this is looking really good so far. Let’s hope it has a decent range (anything over 250 miles) and is priced right. (under $40 000) This could be a great thing for Nissan. I know most people who buy an EV buy a Tesla. They have done a great job of building up their… Continue reading 2021 Ariya: all-new video teaser

2021 Nissan Rogue: How about a nice, casual video walkaround.
This is an early preview/walkaround of the all-new Nissan Rogue. Very interesting to see it in real life. (kind of) The interior seems very nice. Although I am not a fan at all of the “Bentley wannabe” pattern on the leather seats. But I think it is specific to the high-end model only. The screen… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Rogue: How about a nice, casual video walkaround.

2021 Nissan Ariya Teaser
Unlike Cadillac, the all-new Nissan EV we will be seeing in 2 weeks is not a concept. As Nissan is ready to show the world the production version of their gorgeous Ariya Concept. (While Cadillac, in August, will still only show us a concept version of the Lyric…) From what we have seen so far,… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Ariya Teaser

2021 Nissan Rogue short video clip
This isn’t much. But we do get to see the all-new Rogue in action (a little bit) And it does look quite nice. Nicer than the early pictures I posted a while ago. Still, it’s really too bad they don’t offer some kind of electrification for this. Even though the Leaf was ahead of many,… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Rogue short video clip

Cadillac Lyric Concept teaser
Well over a year ago, Cadillac provided us with a couple of 3D illustrations of what they described as their First EV Crossover. (bottom photo) And it really looked pretty good and super modern. Although, these super-thin headlights were obviously for a concept and not an actual car. Now, they have released a teaser that… Continue reading Cadillac Lyric Concept teaser

2021 Acura TLX video (in “BurlappVision”)
Official footage from Acura. See the all-new TLX in pretty much every angle possible, inside and out. And also some really nice driving footage. This is looking really good for Acura so far…

What’s next for Nissan.
This is an all-new teaser video from Nissan, showing pretty much everything that is coming up from them, for the next 2 years. Just compare that to Mazda, who, a few months ago, announced there would be nothing new from them for the 2 years! Not only this is a lot of new and redesigned… Continue reading What’s next for Nissan.
