Looks like these 3D renderings I posted a while ago were the real thing after all. Too bad…. It now looks much less original than the current model. The front end especially, is way too busy. Just like the new Optima, the previous one was much nicer looking.

This is something I cannot wait to see. Not because I am thinking of getting one (not right away at least…) But because it should end up being one of the best looking convertible available. The S-Class coupe is quite stunning in person already. ( I actually saw one last week driven by John Hamm)… Continue reading Mercedes S-Class cabriolet

Looks like the revised Fusion for 2017 has leaked early, on Twitter. (Top picture. Bottom is the current model) And it does look really good. I don’t think it ruins the already great looking Fusion at all. Honda designers could learn a lot (A LOT) from this. After seeing horribly redesigned front ends from Honda… Continue reading 2017 Ford Fusion

I am actually not really sure what to think of this. In a way, that new oversized grille does add some personality to the super boring design. But, it also seems out of place with the rest of the car. Just like it does on most other Lexus models. (It could be better with the… Continue reading 2016 Lexus GS

Finally, after all these spy shots over the years. the real thing! It does look great. Like a cross between the stunning S Class coupe and the “old” C class coupe. But… I cannot help but being a tiny bit disappointed. I know I am being very picky (especially after seeing such horrific recent designs… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes C-Class coupe

Now it looks like Honda is actually considering the al new S660 roadster for the US. Even thought they said “no way” just a few weeks ago when it came out in Japan. They had even mentioned a slightly larger “export” version with a 1000CC engine. So which is it? Who knows? I really like… Continue reading Honda S660 in the US???

Besides the stupid name, this is actually quite stunning. And quite amazing for a Hyundai. I think this is the 1st Hyundai design that truly looks like a luxury model to me. It even has a British car feel to it. Almost old fashion. Quite surprising. There was a rumor last year about the next… Continue reading Hyundai Vision G Concept Coupe

The current Elantra (bottom pic) still looks great. Actually much better than even its more recent competition. If there is one car that doesn’t really need a redesign, this is it. Still, the unstoppable redesign schedule rules all. And what we have here (top pic) seems pretty ridiculous to me. It looks like Hyujndai is… Continue reading 2017 Hyundai Elantra

Another day, another car gets uglier. No surprises here really, since we saw the revised (uglified) sedan version a few days ago. The 2016 is the blue one on top. And, again, it makes the current model look really classy. (Which it isn’t, really) The current design, which wasn’t fantastic to begin with, now looks… Continue reading 2016 Honda Accord Coupe

Basically, someone suggested to just “make it way uglier”. And they did it. It doesn’t look all new. More like an expensive facelift. Like they did with the Camry last year. Although it seems that most of the sheet metal is new or revised. Interior is  new. So this will be around for a few… Continue reading 2016 Lexus LX

 Mazda will introduce this all new concept next month, apparently. Most people agree that it will be a preview of the redesigned CX-9, which would be logical. Since the big crossover is next. Problem is, THIS is the next CX-9. Look at that. Of course the sketch is exaggerated. And the concept itself will be… Continue reading Mazda Koeru Concept

This was last week, downtown L.A. At least it’s already almost a dollar less now….

 Last year, I test drove the 4 door version of this truck. It was a loaded “High Country” model, costing over $52 000. This one, a “1500 2WD” starts at a much more reasonable (And more “truck like”) $26 000. Mine had a few options, like a Spray On bed liner, 4.2 Inch color screen,… Continue reading Chevrolet Silverado Test Drive

VW has finally brought the base Jetta into the 21st Century by getting rid of the old 2.0 Liter engine with its 115HP. This new one has 150HP. And gets 39MPG with the 6 speed auto. (An “old” 5 speed manual is still available) This engine is now offered in the base model as well… Continue reading 2016 Jetta gets new 1.4 Liter Turbo as base engine

There is an all new LS sedan coming out. Really soon. And it will be joined later any an all new SC coupe. Just like previous versions, the coupe won’t look like a 2 door version of the sedan. This time it will pretty much be a production version of the gorgeous LF- LC concept… Continue reading 2016/17 Lexus SC

 The Accord gets a slight restyle for the new year. (Which means an all new one is about 2 years away) Not sure what version is pictured here, but it sure does NOT look like an improvement. I mean, look at the chrome on that grille. Ugly side skirts,dark wheels etc…(This must be some “sport”… Continue reading 2016 Honda Accord

Here is a new picture of a Sportage prototype (caught in Europe) I am trying to compare it to one of the pictures I posted a couple of days ago. (I was really hoping for these to be fake.) And they do look really close. But still fake to me. Or not? What do you… Continue reading 2016 Kia Sportage

Finally, the real thing. Looking almost exactly like the concept. It is basically a Mercedes A Class with an Infiniti design and interior. Which is not bad. As it does look really good. Much better than the A Class, I think. There will be a crossover QX30 version which will, of course, compete with its… Continue reading 2016 Infiniti Q30

I drove the current model for a week a few years ago and was actually pretty impressed. Plus, it looked really good. And pretty original compared to most of its competition. ( I think it still looks great) This “next” one is basically a new design on the same theme. Just like what they did… Continue reading 2016 Kia Sportage

This was sent to me from Europe. Suposed to be some upcoming Lexus models. But I can’t really see which one. It almost looks like a hatchback. But also seems RWD. Maybe the next CT? I also think the car on the bottom could be the next LS. But that other one on top is… Continue reading 2017 Lexus LS???
