Another concept from VW. This time it’s a macho version of the Plug-In option for the next Tiguan. Which is fine. Although VW claims only 20 miles on EV mode alone. Which isn’t much. And it really won’t be much in 2017. Which is when the new Tiguan will start selling in the US. At… Continue reading VW Tiguan GTE Active Concept

Well. It wasn’t really a concept to begin with… A few things have changes, but I think they did a good job at not disappointing those who liked what they saw last year. I still remember what happened to the Zephyr Concept a few years ago… (Thanks to “anonymous” for the pic)

This is it ! The real thing. (Concept in blue) And of course, it is very close to the concept. Since this “Concept” was just the production model with extra trim and big wheels. So, those who liked the concept will love this. I never liked the concept. So I’m not crazy about this new… Continue reading 2017 Lincoln Continental!

 Very soon. Could even be tomorrow. Over the past years, Buick has shown quite a few 2 door concepts (2 of the most recent ones pictured above) But none of them has ever made it into production. The only current 2 door Buick is the all new Cascada. Which is actually an Opel, so it… Continue reading Another Buick coupe Concept coming up…

I mean really…

Looking really nice so far. A conservative but nice update. Looking even more luxurious than the current model. A new 3.3 Liter engine with over 360HP should be available. Kia still has the same problem though. No matter who great the car is. Not that many people are willing to spend Lexus money in a… Continue reading All new Kia Cadenza

I mean really, just look at it. I mean I am usually not that “anti Prius”. I just hate ugly things. Toyota is always trying way too hard. They are so afraid of being labeled “boring”. The Hyundai could have looked a bit more futuristic. Sure. But at least it’s tasteful. I really hope it… Continue reading 2017 Hyundai IONIQ already looks 1000 times better than the new Prius.

Just a teaser. Somehow it already reminds me of the Dodge Durango. A bit. (Although the Dodge might not be on anyone’s radar anymore…) Its about time. Since the current model and its Buick and Chevy cousins are about 8 years old. But still looking fine I think. (The new Honda Pilot looks a lot… Continue reading 2017 GMC Acadia

 That looks really nice! This will make the new Cruze more competitive in a world filled with the new Civic, Elantra, Mazda3 etc… Now the Cruze can really go against the ( aging) Focus. Available at the end of the year.

I hate to say, but I can’t imagine anyone buying this. Except car rental companies… But, I am one of these who didn’t like the concept anyway. I really think this is a wrong direction for Lincoln. That front end is horrible (Even worse on the slick MKZ) But the whole thing is so bland.… Continue reading 2017 Lincoln Continental

This officially offers over 200 miles on a single charge (Unlike the VW’s BS with the unrealistic Budd-e Concept) And it goes on sale at the end of this year. No price yet, but GM has mentioned before a sub $30 000 starting price after incentives.Which is quite a bit more than the Leaf, which… Continue reading 2017 Chevrolet Bolt

This is the all new concept from VW. The one people were saying it would be the next Microbus. Well… No, it won’t be. For over 15 years now, VW has teased us about a new version of the Microbus. But no. There won’t be one. (Their suits are too stupid to realize that’s exactly… Continue reading VW Budd-e Concept: 100% VW BS

Finally we see the real thing (After discovering the interior a few weeks ago) And it is exactly what was excepted. A larger C-class. Or a smaller S-class. Although the design seems a bit simpler than these other models. I think it does work very well. And will age pretty nicely too. Which is a… Continue reading All new 2017 Mercedes E-Class

No, this isn’t the Scion iA. And it isn’t the Mazda2 sedan either… It is Toyota’s new idea of selling the iA in Canada. So they just renamed it “Yaris Sedan”. Since it is still a Mazda2 with an ugly front end, it actually has nothing to do with the regular Yaris hatchback. Nothing, except… Continue reading All new Toyota Yaris sedan

 There it is. And it looks ready to go. A straight wagon version of the all new S90 sedan. And it looks great! The only weirdness in the sedan is the heavy looking trunk. Which is now replaced by a sleek hatch. It should be really cool. And also cheaper than the XC90. I can’t… Continue reading 2017 Volvo V90

Apparently, this is actually the next Honda Odyssey for 2017. (So I’ve been told) It is still pretty covered up. And it looks like… A minivan. So don’t except anything original. So far I think the best looking one out there is the new Kia Sedona. Which does have a really nice, almost non-minivan, interior.

This is the first batch of the new Buick Envision, heading for the US. From China…. So this is it. Chinese made Buicks are coming.

The current Yukon/Tahoe/Suburban might be only a little over 2 years old, but they are already super popular. Around L.A, they are pretty much everywhere. Last year, GM sold over 152000  Tahoes/Suburbans, and over 71000 Yukons/Yukon XL. Which is quite amazing. They also seem to have replaced the TownCar as the favorite choice as a… Continue reading GMC Yukon Denali XL Test Drive

GM patented the name TourX for the next Buick Regal. Which is good news. Really. (The pic above is just an illustration of the Opel version) That’ll be yet another wagon type car competing with the Subaru Outback. Since VW is also sending us the AllTrack version of the Golf Wagon. The European Opel version… Continue reading 2017 Buick Regal Tour X coming up?

Just a few more pictures of that Minivan prototype spied in the L.A area. I was told it was the next Honda Odyssey. Which does make sense. So I guess next year’s big news will be the battle of minivans, between the new Odyssey and the new Town & Country…
