Looking really nice. I think, no matter if any of us like it or not, this will be a hit for Fiat in the US. This is exactly what they need here to grow the brand. Let’s just hope they price it right. Among the engines available overseas (US specs have not been announced yet),… Continue reading More pictures of the Fiat 500X

 Still no interior shot, but a better picture of the new front end. Which actually, when you compare it to the current one, isn’t that new. It seems only the stuff within the grille has been revised. Headlights and the area where the fog lights are. Looks like the actual bumper part is the same.… Continue reading 2016 Mazda CX-5

No big changes outside. But I don’t think they should have done anything. There was nothing wrong with the front end. It seems that, across the line, they are toning down that cool chrome line that was running from one headlight to the other. Now the new grille looks like anything else on the road.… Continue reading 2016 Mazda CX-5

The picture on top is the revised ILX for 2016. It does look more aggressive. With the mandatory LED headlights. We also know that it will get a new engine with more power. I guess Acura is making an effort to better compete with cars like the Audi A3. Which is good.

I got a message from one of these “anonymous” people, directing me to a site called “2016 Fordcars”. Telling me this is a tip. So here are the pictures from that site. (Not sure where they are from, and it this is just a way to promote some new site.) But here it is: the… Continue reading 2016/17 Ford Taurus

 Looks like the Mazda6 will be getting a few changes for next year. The front end is all new, and looks a bit softer. Not sure why they did this, since it looked great before. And least it doesn’t seem ruined. Inside, the dash and console seem all new. Which isn’t bad. I always thought… Continue reading 2016 Mazda6

The new Grace is a hybrid version of the City sedan. Which is basically a sedan version of the new Fit we have now here. Not sure why the Hybrid version has its own name (Probably because some suit thought the name “Grace” was so great) I’ve heard before about the City coming to the… Continue reading All new Honda Grace

Not sure. This was sent to me from Germany. It does match the recent rumors of an ATS based convertible. (Keep in mind this could be fake. Or even some early design model. Who knows) Although it also does look quite different. My source also mentioned that even though the car is based on the… Continue reading Upcoming Cadillac convertible? (CT3?)

This is pretty much a Fiat. Rebadged “Ram” for the Mexican market. Which is fine. It is based on the Fiat Strada and uses a version of the ancient 1.6 Liter used in the old Neon. (Yes!. The Neon) I think there is room for something like this in the US. Not with the Neon… Continue reading All new Ram 700 Compact truck

Mazda will show its all new CX-3 compact crossover at the Los Angeles auto show next month. And, at least from this sketch, it looks really good. It is based on the new Mazda2 and will use the same 1.5 Liter engine. It will compete in this expending segment with the new (and delayed due… Continue reading 2016 Mazda CX-3

This is a prototype from 1988. Porsche had then decided that a “4 door 911” called 989, was a good idea. Mostly for the US market. And it didn’t look too bad. Just like the Panamera, over 20 years later, this was a front engine, RWD car. So not really a 4 door 911. Interesting…

Last night, in Malibu.

Another teaser of that new Nissan SUV/Crossover concept. Not sure why they would have another compact SUV since they already have the Juke, which is quite popular in many countries. The Juke also just got updated for 2015. So an all new one is not around the corner.

 Scion will show this new model at the Los Angeles auto show next month. This is not really a concept. More like a preview of their new model. Which is basically, as they mentioned before, an updated version of the European Auris hatchback. So basically, a Corolla Hatch. Just what the Elantra GT is to… Continue reading Scion iM Concept

Acura will revise the ILX for the new year. Here is what the official PR BS says: ” Potent new power train, more aggressive exterior styling, significantly upgraded interior elements”. Which probably means: ” Now available with the same 2.4 Liter engine used in the TLX, new wheels and lights, (With 5 more hp), more… Continue reading 2016 Acura ILX

Except on my street…

So far the only thing we know is that it will be introduced on October 28th at the Sao Paulo autoshow. SUV? Crossover? What do you think?

Audi is now supposed to show an all new concept at the upcoming L.A Auto Show. Something, they say, that will show a new design direction. Which means that maybe, just maybe, future Audis won’t just look like squared off versions of the current ones… This does looks like a hatchback. (On the right of… Continue reading Audi A9 Concept

That’s right. Someone actually spent some money trying to pass their Chevy pick up truck for a Cadillac. I guess it’s not that hard, since you can just get an older Escalade front end and a few logos. Quite amazing what people think is cool…
