Finally. A few pictures of the real thing. Looking a bit short to me. I guess this is what these things look like. Compact luxury cars. (Although the A4 seems better proportioned) I just hope it looks more interesting than the new Jaguar XE. (Actually, it already does) And, this is probably the sports version.… Continue reading 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia

Looking really good! What a nice blend of modern and retro. (Except for that spoiler…) As mentioned earlier, it now has a fully automatic top. Something the Mustang doesn’t offer. It looks really slick. But visibility looks to be even worse than the current model. This could be quite a pain to drive in rainy… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

I posted a couple of pictures of the revised Fiat 500 for 2016. Now we can see the interior. Hard to see if only the dashboard is new. But that door handle does look pretty familiar. So this might not be an all new interior. I guess Fiat is saving some cash by not giving… Continue reading 2016 Fiat 500

 The all new redesigned Verano was caught in the US. Looks like it was for a photo shoot. So far it looks exactly like the car we saw at the Shanghai Auto Show a while ago. Kind of too bad. I wished the US model had a bit more flair. The lights, front and rear,… Continue reading 2016 Buick Verano

 These pictures were sent to me by a European reader. They are supposedly showing the production version of the upcoming Renault Alpine. Which, if true, would be great. As they really take advantage of the Alpine history. Just like the Mustang and Camaro have done lately. (And of course the Beetle and Mini) Here is… Continue reading 2016 Renault Alpine?

The top picture is a (lightened) teaser from Mini. The bottom is last year’s “concept”. As you can see, the production version is pretty close. Which is good. This might turn out to be the most practical Mini of all. Since it now will have 4 doors. 4 normal size doors. The new “4 door… Continue reading 2016 Mini Clubman

The new GLC replaces the GLK. And with a new name comes an all new, more rounded shape. Gone is the super square look of the GLK. Which I am sure, many will miss (But not me) Even though I never liked the look of the GLK, it was, at least, a bit original. This… Continue reading 2016 Mercedes GLC

As you can see, after over 7 years, the 500 won’t be all new. Outside, it is the usual “mid-cycle refresh ” with new bumpers and lights. Front and rear. We can also see the all new dashboard inside. Finally incorporating a screen. Not sure about engines, but I haven’t heard anything new. So, not… Continue reading 2016 Fiat 500

 Well, I don’t really see the point of this. The changes seem to small. No one will really notice. Ever… “At least they didn’t ruin it” seems to be the best thing I’d have to say about it. But they could have done a bit more. Getting rid of the black plastic covered C -pillar… Continue reading 2016 Jaguar XJ

 So I was in Europe a few days ago. And needed to rent a car for a while. I saw a few things I had seen (and driven) before, like a Fiat 500 etc… Then I saw the Cactus! And I felt lucky. As I have been a big fan of the design. Wondering if… Continue reading Citroen Cactus test drive

I am sure this will seem quite blasphemous to all BMW fans (AKA BMW snobs) But still. I am just really underwhelmed by the all new, yet quite old looking, 7 series. (I mean doesn’t that rear view look more like an Acura??) And sure, of course, a Kia is not a BMW. (…) But… Continue reading All new BMW 7 series Vs 3 year old Kia K900

Here is a first exaggerated look at Hyundai’s new small SUV. The design is officially described as “harmony between the bold front, voluminous side and sporty rear” (Which, I have to say, sounds exactly like someone I was dating last year) They also call it a “global crossover”. Which means we could very well see… Continue reading Hyundai Creta

Not sure if this is the “big” Land Cruiser we know here in the US. Or the smaller one for Europe, which is a Toyota version of out Lexus GX. (This is obviously a European version of something…) Either way it’s pretty… Old looking. To say the least. This feels like a previous generation Lincoln… Continue reading 2016/17 Toyota Land Cruiser

The car on top is the real thing. All new for 2016. The white one is the curent model. It is really becoming ridiculous. There is so little progress from one generation to the next. At least visually. Which still counts for me. I am sure it is lighter, faster, uses less fuel and has… Continue reading 2016 BMW 7 series

Yes. This one says EV on it. So it looks like Chrysler will offer a plug-in hybrid version of their upcoming Minivan. Or maybe a pure EV? Either way, they could be the only one to do so. I haven’t heard of anything like that coming from anyone else. (A plug-in Minivan) On these prototypes,… Continue reading 2017 Chrysler Minivan. EV!

Just when you think a new one would be ready (After all, it’s been around since 2007), we’re not. All we are getting is a new front, rear, lights, and dashboard/console. Not sure if this is an illustration or the real thing. But that front end with the weird headlights is NOT an improvement. Either… Continue reading 2016 Fiat 500

Just a teaser. Ignoring the fact we saw the whole thing a few weeks ago all over the web. As I mentioned before, the new Cruze looks pretty nice so far. And much better than the already released Chinese version.

 Sorry but I cannot care about his. At all. I think all BMW SUVs look the same. And they all look pretty bad to me. So this new X1 is really new. Since it is now based on a FWD platform. (Shared with Mini) But, as you can see, they’ve made giant efforts to make… Continue reading 2016 BMW X1
