The good old Cadillac Cimarron from the 80’s. I haven’t seen one around in so many years… A car we don’t see anymore. But it is still mentioned every single time a luxury car maker is trying to come out with a small car.  It was mentioned a lot when the current ATS came out.… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day…

Looking quite nice and upscale. That interior is miles ahead of our “US/China” model. And it doesn’t look that much smaller inside. All we’ll be getting over here is a revised version of our current model for 2016. Which could include a similar front end. Which means that even if VW wanted to send this… Continue reading More pictures of the all new European VW Passat

 The “Big Prius” gets a few tweaks for the new year. Most of it is on the front end, which is now much more aggressive looking. It is using these vertical scoops Toyota seems to be putting on everything these days. With a brand new “regular” Prius next year, the larger model has to be… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Prius + (US Prius V)

 The Niro is based on the same platform as the recently introduced Hyundai iX25. A small SUV that mostly competes with the Nissan Juke. Not sure yet if any of these will make it to the US. But the market will be getting crowded soon, with the arrival of the all new Honda HR-V and… Continue reading 2016 Kia Niro

But I do see them, once in a while. And it always brings a smile. I like this car. I’m glad some people did like it enough to buy one while the company was in such trouble. It’s just good to see…

This is quite nice. And foe my taste, much better than it’s Jeep Renegade cousin. Not sure which one of the 2 will be the cheapest, but this sure looks quite upscale for such a small SUV. The treatment of the leather is quite interesting too. I can’t wait to see this in person.

Finally! The real thing. After all this time, there isn’t much of a surprise. Which is fine, since it looks quite nice. It does look more like a 500 than the oddly designed 500L. I am sure this will turn out to be quite a hit for Fiat in the US. This is exactly what… Continue reading Fiat 500X

I think this is fantastic! A 4 door hatchback version of the new TT. While the design is pretty tame for the regular TT. It looks really good and original as a sedan. I think this is a great idea and really hope Audi finds it in their little heart to actually produce this. they… Continue reading Audi TT Sportback Concept

I was waiting for pictures of the “regular” version. You know, the one most people will actually get. I was hoping that some chrome around the windows and on the grill would make it look a bit more like a Jaguar. Well, it does. Sort of. Now it looks almost exactly like an XF. The… Continue reading More pictures of the all new 2016 Jaguar XE

This is quite amazing. Although, unlike the Rapide sedan, it will only be produced in very limited numbers. And unlike the Rapide, the back seats seem to have tons of legroom. Quite an amazing car, and I’m sure, a great looking alternative to a Rolls or top of the line Bentley. Wow…

What an improvement. Not 100% new but it looks like they really listen. And for the 1st time, it looks like that 80’s “Honda beige” interior is gone! Now you can get a proper tan/black combo. With a new engine and a CVT, mileage is better too. They did quite a  bit of work for… Continue reading 2015 Honda CR-V interior

This was sent to me by a friend who lives in Germany. The picture was taken in Stuttgart. So it could be a Mercedes? Although it doesn’t seem like one. Next GLK? Looks more like a Land Rover product to me. What is it??? What do you think???

This picture was sent to me by a reader. It is from the 2015 accessory catalog. Looks like the new front end works better when the rest of the car is covered with tons of add ons. I still think the interior is where improvements are really needed…

Anymore. I used to see tons of these. The 2nd generation Toyota Celica. This one from 1978 or 79. Just saw this in Hollywood earlier today. And it looked in great condition. Congrats to the owner!

The new one is on top. It’s not all new of course, just a refresh. Not sure yet if I like this better or not. Seems like they added stuff to make it a bit more upscale, which usually ends up cheesier. Engines should be the same. No news about the interior. Thats the part… Continue reading 2015 Honda CR-V

Just like the Focus, the C-Max gets a few revisions for the new year. Which is 2015 in Europe, and could be for the 2016 model year in the US. The front end looks a lot cleaner than before. It’s actually quite an improvement, I think. Inside things are a bit simpler too, less Klingon… Continue reading 2015/2016 Ford C-Max

Here is the 1st picture of the real thing. The small SUV/Crossover based on the 500L platform. And it does look really good. I think, unlike the weird looking 500L, this is the potential to be really big in the US. More very soon…

Still in red. With black wheels. (Which, in my opinion, make any car look quite vulgar.) The interior seems fine. A bit more upscale than before. But nothing very stylish or inspired. But I do like how sculpted the door panels are. This looks really cool…

Replacing the previous 1 series convertible. And looking about as good as the slightly roomier and bigger 4 series convertible. So now you can get that great BMW image (“aggressive asshole driver and guy-who-parks-across-2-parking-spaces”) for less money. Since the current Z4 has jumped so high in price with the last redesign, this is now the… Continue reading All new BMW 2 series convertible
