Not unexpected, but still shocking. The new NSX starts at $ 157 800.Yes. almost $160 000 for the Acura.That’s not all. With all options it goes up to $207 500! I sat in it at the Auto Show. (Obviously I have not driven one)And I can tell you that at least from inside, it is… Continue reading Acura NSX Insane Price

 Yes, after about 10 years, there is an all new Ridgeline coming soon. Next month. Honda only sold 13 389 of them last year. But over 50 000 back in 2006. So there is some potential here. But, as you can see, it’ll look nothing like the cool overly optimistic “official sketch” above.. (The first… Continue reading 2017 Honda Ridgeline

A few more pictures of this upcoming minivan. I guess most people seem to think it is either the next Sienna or Odyssey. So far, I am tempted to go with the Honda Odyssey. Like someone noticed, the shape of the headlights and grille seem to match with what we are seeing on the CRV/Pilot… Continue reading Mystery Minivan caught

Acura will be showing this all new sedan concept at the Detroit Auto Show this year. They say it ” shows the styling and proportions of the next generation of Acura sedans”. But the only sedan model they have scheduled (or should be) for a new design would be the RLX. That big super boring… Continue reading Acura Precision Concept

Volvo seems to have copyrighted a bunch of coupe names. Like C60 and even C40. Which means the next S60 sedan will also come as a coupe, and maybe a convertible. That would put Volvo right up there with Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Who are offering now pretty much every possible version of their various… Continue reading Volvo C90

This was just sent to me. It was taken in the US. And I am just not sure what it is… I know it’s not the new Chrysler Town and Country (I thought it was at first) But the grille, headlights do not match what we have already seen. Some new Hyundai Minivan? Both the… Continue reading Next Toyota Sienna/Honda Odyssey?

More teasers of Hyundai’s all new model. Looking really nice. And not weird at all. I really think it will steal sales from the new weirdo Prius. (As it should) On top of that, they will offer 3 models. A “regular” hybrid. A plug-in. And a full electric EV version. So basically, with just one… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq

 Very subtle changes fort the Q50 sedan. Nothing anyone will notice. (2016 on top)  Same thing inside. The big news are under the hood. The old “smooth but thirsty”3.5 Liter is gone. Now replace by the new 2.0 Liter with 208HP standard. Or the 3.0 Liter Turbo with 300HP. And a 400HP version is now… Continue reading 2016 Infiniti Q50

 The 2016 model is the blue one above. Small changes, but it works. Really. The grille, headlights and new wheels all look very nice. I know the Infiniti is very close to the current Nissan pathfinder. But after test driving both, I can tell you the Infiniti is a much nicer and premium experience. For… Continue reading 2016 Infiniti QX60

 Saab’s new Chinese owner, NEVS, has just come up with a plan for the swedish zombie car maker. First, they still want to keep producing an updated version of the old 9-3. A car that came out about 13 years ago. So good luck with that. NEVS claims that model will “generate the cash it… Continue reading New SAABs coming ?

As you can see, the upcoming small 1 series sedan will stay pretty close to the “Compact Sedan Concept” we saw just a few weeks ago. Which is fine. It will compete with the boring A3 and the “almost weird” CLA. So this might fit right in between. Being based on the same platform as… Continue reading BMW 1 series

Yes, another concept from VW. Not a production car. It seems they have no problem showing us tons of concepts every year. Their problem is, (Besides cheating on diesel emissions) actually coming up with new production models. The last one we saw was the new Tiguan. (And God only knows when that will come to… Continue reading VW new Electric Concept

The all new Malibu hybrid will start at $28 645. Not that cheap. But it is not available as a base model. Only as a well equipped LT model. Which then makes it “only” about $2700 more than the regular non-hybrid Malibu LT. It does get amazing mileage for a mid size car. (It is… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid price

The one pictured here is the Korean Version, the EQ900. So there might still be some small differences with our Genesis G90. It looks OK. Maybe it’s more impressive in person. But it still has that “a few years ago” feeling to it. A few steps behind the best. It does look better than the… Continue reading All new Hyundai EQ900/Genesis G90

 Mazda just announced there will be a production version of the really good looking Koeru concept. Which, we already knew, since these spy shots have been around for a while. As you can see, It’ll stay really close to the concept. Mazda is aiming right at the Subaru Outback with this one. Someone for people… Continue reading Mazda Koeru = Mazda CX-6/7?

First official picture of the all new E-class. As predicted, it is a mix of C and S-class. The wide screen seems better integrated than in the C-class. As it doesn’t feel so much like a tablet anymore. The current model starts at about $52 000 in the US. So this sits on top of… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes E-Class

 I think this is great! I mean really. Finally, Citroen is coming up with a modern version of the cool old Mehari from the 60’s. And it’s Electric! Of course. Which makes it the perfect 21st Century Mehari. It even gets up to 125 Miles on a charge. Which is more than other more expensive… Continue reading Citroen E-Mehari

We finally get to see something official about the all new Hyundai Prius competitor. This does look more interesting than the camouflaged cars we have seen. And, a thousand times nicer than the horrific new Prius. (Which is even much worse in real life) I think there is a huge opportunity for Hyundai here. As… Continue reading Hyundai IONIQ

Not much going on today. So why not some cool 7’s Pacer ads. I was watching an old tim, from 1977, and the main character was driving one. New of course. And it reminded me of how cool I always thought it was . (Especially the original design. Before they added a chrome grille to… Continue reading How about some AMC Pacer ads.

Nothing “all new” since this has been on sale in China for a while. We now know that the US version will get the 2.0 Liter Turbo with 252HP. With a 6 speed auto (Where is GM’s new 8 speed?) It is based on the same platform as the new Cadillac XT5. And, I must… Continue reading 2017 Buick Envision
