Finally. After what seems like 48 years of spy shots. Here is the real thing. And I think it does look quite good. I mean, as usual, it looks more original than a Golf. But also, might not age as well. We are not getting the Astra over here (Since we don’t have Saturn anymore…)… Continue reading 2016 Opel Astra

The current Prius is getting a bit long in the tooth. It’s over 6 years old now. Looks like the next one will keep the general hatchback shape. While being quite a bit sleeker. (That rear hatch window is almost flat!) A good thing for Toyota. As the Prius is a giant hit pretty much… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Prius

Just doing my share of celebrating. The Citroen DS is turning 60 today. So I thought I’d just post these pix of a rare convertible version I saw just a couple of days ago. Looking as perfect as it gets. Except for the new radian and GPS screen inside. But that also means the owner… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day…

 The suits at Mazda have now officially decided not to sell the all new Mazda2 in the US. It is built in Mexico and has been engineered with the US in mind. (Since Toyota will sell us the sedan version as a Scion) Too bad. I test drove the previous model a few years ago… Continue reading NO Mazda2 for the US

While in Europe for a few days, I am actually driving the new Citroen Cactus. So I will be reporting on that very soon. So far so good. Besides looking really cool, and different, it has a 3 cylinder engine. My only previous experience with a 3 cylinder was a quick drive a few weeks… Continue reading Citroen Cactus test drive coming up: Something very different.

The tiny and super cheap Kwid is based on a “new platform common to Renault and Nissan”. So this could become a new cheap Nissan somewhere in the world. Right now, its market ins mainly India. Where it starts at around $4800 . I repeat, that’s $4800!!!!  (A fancier model starts at $6300) To put… Continue reading All new Renault Kwid

 The new Levante SUV is pretty much a production version of the Kubang “concept” from 2011. Yes, 2011… It didn’t look that futuristic then, and it doesn’t now. Not that it has to be. But after over 4 years, things look pretty much the same. Windows are a bit taller, stronger shoulder, lights a bit… Continue reading 2017 Maserati Levante

I must say, I am not familiar with the Sienta. Apparently, the current model has been around since 2003! So it’s about time for a new one. And it looks like a minivan version of the Prius C. Which, in the US, could actually make quite a nice new Scion model (instead of the rebadged… Continue reading New Toyota Sienta.

I’m just going to say that it probably looks really good in the flesh.

This is looking really nice. Although, like I mentioned earlier, the interior still looks pretty “cheesy” to me. This is way too busy. I am really not a big fan of the 2015 Mustang interior, and still have a hard time getting used to it. So I was hoping the Camaro would be much better.… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Camaro: The better pix

Looking pretty good so far. A lot like the previous generation though. Which is not a bad thing. I guess… Even inside! (Which still has a bit of “cheesy” feel to it…) The whole thing doesn’t seem really “new”. But improved. A lot. Also, more pictures in better colors (especially inside) might help. Much more… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Camaro: Here it is!

The Shuttle has been, for years, a longer, wagon type version go the Fit. Since there was a new Fit last year, now we have a new Shuttle. When I say “we” I mean “them”.  Since we never got the Shuttle here in the US. And we are not getting this one either. As usual,… Continue reading New Honda Shuttle

We will see the whole thing tomorrow, but for not, this is it. From some CNBC promo. Well… It looks like a Camaro. Like they had told us, it’s not really a new look. (Even though it is a brand new design off a new platform) -New base engine is a 2.0 Liter Turbo with… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

The Fusion’s European cousin, the Mondeo, can now be ordered as a new top of the line model, called Vignale. From the name of an old design company. (Just like Ford did in the 70’s by  using the name “Ghia” on their top of the line models. So not a new idea…) The Fusion is… Continue reading Ford Mondeo Vignale

Just a few more teasers before we see the whole thing in just a few days. No surprises really. The profile does look better than some of the photoshop illustrations I’ve seen before. So that’s good. (Too bad about that stupid spoiler that still looks like a PepBoys add on) The front kind of looks… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

 Or never. As, I have never ever sen this car before. I didn’t even know it existed. I took this in Europe a couple of days ago. (My camera was set to B&W but the car was actually bright red) I couldn’t really see the logo from where I was. But that front end did… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day…

We’ve seen most of it before, not a surprise. Not that I expected anything new, really. Since all BMW sedans look pretty much the same. So this, again, looks like a giant 3 series. With more chrome. Lots of chrome. I am in Europe for a few days, and have noticed how much chrome there… Continue reading 2016 BMW 7 series

This is, of course, just an illustration. It shows a car so similar to the curent one that most people (Except car nerds like us, and previous owners) won’t be able to tell the difference. So, let’s hope the new Prius looks better than this. Especially after 7 years. I haven’t heard anything about a… Continue reading 2016/17 Toyota Prius

 There is, finally, an all new Cruze coming. And it does look quite nice. At least from these pictures. It does fit nicely next to the new Malibu and Impala. Which now gives Chevrolet 3 nice looking sedans. engines will probably be smaller Turbos. Competing with the new Civic which is getting a new 1.5… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Cruze
