Or, basically, about $6000 more than the much better looking previous generation. And, of course, no more diesel version for the US market. It is also about $5000 more than the new Volvo XC90. I am not a big fan of the new Volvo SUV. But the Q7 makes it look like Marilyn Monroe. I… Continue reading 2016 Audi Q7 starts at around $56 000.

 Looking all new from this picture, but it’s not. It’s just one of these “mid cycle revision”. At least it seems quite extensive. The whole front end looks brand new. I’ve always been a big fan of the SL. But the current version has to be the worse looking one of all. Displaying an amount… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes SL

The Equus is dead, long live the Genesis G90. Hyundai has finally decided to see its luxury cars under another brand called Genesis. The new Equus will be the top go the line. Now called the Genesis 90. It will be joined by the “face lifted” Genesis sedan” and the all new coupe. As well… Continue reading Genesis G90 = All new Hyundai Equus

Basically the all new SRX. With a new name. And it is looking quite nice. Making the new Lexus RX (Probably its main competition) look even weirder than it is. The interior isn’t really original. But from these early pictures, it does look quite upscale. And again, more mainstream than the bizarro RX. Which could… Continue reading 2017 Cadillac XT5

Yes, this is for real. Pretty much the same car as the concept we saw a while ago. Back then, reactions went from “WTF” to “why?”. Which, I guess, will be the same for the production version. I mean, I do like the Evoque a lot. And I love convertibles. But tall/SUV based convertibles never… Continue reading Range Rover Evoque convertible.

Even though it still looks really good, the current CX-9 has been in production for 9 years. Yes, 9 years! So a new one is due. Really. And, from that (exaggerated) sketch, it looks like another winner for Mazda. It will probably dump the V6 for a turbo 4. Or at least a large 2.5… Continue reading All new Mazda CX-9

 Here is the second official teaser for the all new LaCrosse. Looking quite slick. Good news since the current car has been around for a while. The new version of the 3.6 Liter V6 will be available. But I’m sure the 2.0 Liter Turbo will be the base engine. Since it is in the more… Continue reading 2017 Buick LaCrosse

This is supposed to preview the next LS sedan. It does look quite nice. Even with that (bigger than ever) giant mouth. Or maybe I am getting used to it after all these years… It actually is trying. Attempting to give a big sedan design some personality. Unlike the 7 series. Or the A8 (And… Continue reading Lexus LF-FC Concept

If you tone it down just bit. Add door handles. Get rid of the blue trim. It does look like it could be the next Leaf. (It probably is) This and the rumored “over 200 miles range” would be quite an improvement. And would sure make the next Leaf even more popular. As for the… Continue reading Nissan IDS Concept

Looking fine. Nothing futuristic. Yet light years ahead of the 80’s looking designs Subaru is producing now. BUT…. Subaru has a horrible history of cool concepts that NEVER translate into production. And we have seen these cool tail lights before on at least 2 or 3 of their previous concepts. So who knows. maybe this… Continue reading Subaru Impreza Concept

By most accounts, there should be an all new Nissan Leaf sometime next year. This new concept could be a preview. So far, we only have this small teaser. There are also rumors about a range of about 250 miles. Which would be quite an amazing improvement. And would actually match what Tesla is claiming… Continue reading New Nissan Concept.

Lexus will have a concept version of the next LS sedan at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Show. Which should be quite interesting. The big Lexus sedan is what started the brand in the US. Not it faces competition from new comers to the segment, like Kia and Hyundai. So this better be attractive… But unlike… Continue reading Lexus Luxury Concept

 The S90 sedan isn’t even out yet, and we already get these pictures of the wagon version, the V90. It had been rumored for a while that Volvo will be getting a wagon version of their upcoming top of the line sedan. The car pictured here is, of course, a model. Probably by Norev (Like… Continue reading Volvo V90

This is so far the mod we’ve seen of the all new Chrysler minivan. Looking much slicker than the current, and aging, model. From this, it looks like the front will resemble the 200 quite a bit. And the sides seems pretty “wavy”. There should be  more pictures coming out before the January reveal.

This is, so far, for Brazil. But we all know it could end up as a small Ram pick up in the US. (Or not?) So far it looks OK. Not sure how big this is but it probably is smaller than the Colorado. Which could be really nice. And cheaper. We’ll know more very… Continue reading Fiat Toro Pick up

 Buick is getting ready to introduce a new hatchback version of the Verano. In China. I really doubt we will ever see this here. As you can see, the Chinese Verano is the exact same car as the new European Opel Astra. (The new hatchback also comes with a sporty GS version ) We should… Continue reading Buick Verano Hatch

So far the best picture I have seen of the all new E Class. Of course, it is predictable. Since it always looks like a smaller S Class/Larger C Class. But that’s OK. This looks very nice. A “classic” design that will age well. And will please all current E Class owners, which is the… Continue reading 2016/17 Mercedes E Class

This is kind of refreshing. Especially for Toyota. After the weirdness of the new Prius, Mirai. And other giant and aggressive grilles all over. Scoops, lines, more lines. This is simple in a cute retro way. Described as a sub FR-S RWD sports car. To me, this looks production ready. I mean, really. And would… Continue reading Toyota S-FR concept
