Because, China. Where long wheelbase versions of sedans (and pretty much everything else) are very popular. So, of course, there will be a long version of the new S90. About 4 inches longer. Not sure if we will se this here or not. But it’s not impossible. Since we are already getting the long version… Continue reading Volvo S90L

At least not yet. Saw my first Model X last week and I thought: “Why don’t I take a picture of that and put it on my  car site?”. So there. Why not?

 First, let me say that I am a fan of the new Maxima Design. It is not for everyone (but what is…) And I do like that. It is good to see someone taking a few chances here and there. I guess Nissan figured they could grab a few buyers who want something a bit… Continue reading Nissan Maxima Test Drive

These are pictures of a Japanese version of the all new 2016 Toyota Prius. So I am not sure if this particular color is available in the US or not. Still… Just look at this mess. I have to say, I am not anti Prius. At all. I actually liked the design of the previous… Continue reading WTF???

This is pretty interesting. Basically a production version of last year’s great looking Koeru concept. It is smaller than the CX-5 for a bit larger and sportier than the CX-3. And, unlike BMW’s X4 and X6 series, which end up looking bloated , this looks very nice. So far, people at Mazda are describing it… Continue reading Mazda CX-4

You can stop dreaming. Buick said there will not be a production version of the amazing Avenir concept from last year. The 2017 Lacrosse is the closest thing we’ll get… Sad, but realistic. Since the Avenir would have been built on the same platform as the new Cadillac CT6. And it would have killed the… Continue reading No Future for the Avenir

That’s right.. GM has announced that, while the regular versions of the CT6 will be built in the US, the Plug-In Hybrid version will be exclusively built in China. Even the ones sold in the US. Pretty amazing, and I must say, sad. Cadillac is pretty much the most American of brands. After the Buick… Continue reading Cadillac CT6 Plug-In, coming soon. From China

 The current Equinox has been around for a while. It’ll be 7 years old this June. So it’s fair to say an all new one is “around the corner”. For sometime next year at the latest. I hear it will also be a bit smaller. (Since the next Traverse will be shrinking too) I drove… Continue reading Chevrolet Equinox Test Drive

Just a few new pictures. It is still not out yet. And again, this should be a huge hit. Offering Hybrid, Plug-in and full electric versions. Since the “ugly as sin” new Prius makes the previous one look like Marilyn Monroe, the Ioniq should be a welcome addition to the market place.  Something for people… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq

After getting this yesterday, I’ve decided to get out a town for a couple of days. A fantastic drive so far…

GM is claiming 22 city and 28 HWY for the new Acadia with the newly available 2.5 Liter engine. All I can tell you is: no way. During a week with the Equinox, (Using that same engine) all I was able to get around town was 18. And yes, around 27/28 on the freeway. So… Continue reading 2017 GMC Acadia MPG

I do like this. Sure, it’s not that original. But it is very tasteful with great proportions. And it does look more upscale than before. The grille especially looks much more refined than the blunt design they’ve been using for a while. It is a bit smaller than before. (And about 700 pounds lighter). But… Continue reading 2017 GMC Acadia

Again, what we saw last year was not a concept, really. It was this production car with more chrome. A lot more chrome. I didn’t like it then and I like it even less now. As I said before, this should have never been called “Continental”. That name comes with a history, heritage and prestige… Continue reading 2017 Lincoln Continental

This, is very sad and crappy… I mean really. What were they thinking??? The Ridgeline was a “truck” for people who don’t need or want the usual pick up. Something different. Now, it is still car based. But tries really hard to look like a real truck. And actually ends up looking more boring and… Continue reading 2017 Honda Ridgeline

Still looking quite stunning. It could do without all that grey plastic trim around the lights, but that’s OK. Still an amazing design, I think. Inside too. Except the “all beige” interior isn’t really my taste. I think it would look much better in a tan/black combo. (Which is probably available) And while I’m at… Continue reading Lexus LC500. More pictures

Simply looking stunning… This is the production model. I repeat, the PRODUCTION MODEL. Lexus has done an amazing job at turning the concept from 2012 (Already…) into a production car. Well with the wait. This is the concept. (Second version of it) A Hybrid version will soon join the V8 as well. More details coming… Continue reading 2017 Lexus LC500

The model pictured above is the new Sport version. It comes with a 2.7 Liter Turbo V6 with 325HP and AWD. I really like the Fusion. I think it is one of the very best mid size car available in the US. It drives and looks great. (It also has a more European feel than… Continue reading 2017 Ford Fusion

 That’s right. The Town & Country is dead. I guess it sounded too old timey for “new Chrysler” It looks fine. But not amazing. ( I think the new Kia Sedona does look much better, especially inside) That chrome window surrounding looks pretty thick. And the interior, at least in the version pictured above, has… Continue reading 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

We’ve seen it before. These are just a few more pictures. I actually like the new Volvo S90 much better. Especially the interior. For 2017, the base engine in the US will be a 2.0 Liter with 241HP and a 9 speed auto. As you can see above, a plug-in version will also be offered… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes E-Class

This looks really nice. In a classic sort of way. It does feel a little bit generic. Much more so than the great Avenir concept from last year. Although on some pictures (rear view) it does look quite aggressive… Apparently this is based on the Camaro/ATS RWD platform. And the crazy concept interior is telling… Continue reading Buick Avista Concept
