It will start at $31 300. Or $1400 more than the CLA sedan it is based on. Which is a really good price. After sitting in both, I can tell you that the GLA is much roomier, especially in the back. It’s basically a better looking hatchback version of the sedan. It comes standard with… Continue reading Mercedes prices all new GLA SUV

Land Rover has just released official pictures of a camouflaged prototype of their new SUV. So we can actually see the whole shape. And where the seats are. They also mentioned that, in the UK, it will offer 7 seats. From the picture above, it looks like these last 2 seats are about an inch… Continue reading 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport

 Even though it has been around for over 6 years now, the CC still looks great. I have been curious about this car for a while, and was really happy to finally get to drive one for a week. Unfortunately, my test car was the “R-Line” model. Which doesn’t really add anything to improve the… Continue reading VW CC Test Drive.

Nothing new really. Just some new pictures from GM. I really think the ATS will work better as a coupe. After test driving one for a week a few months ago, I was surprised how unusable was the rear seat, and the tiny rear doors. So things won’t be much worse with 2 doors, plus… Continue reading 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe

Not all new. But as you can see, new front and rear ends. And looking really good. This freshens things up without ruining anything. In the US we will be getting this in 4 versions. Cayenne Diesel, Turbo, S and the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid. Good job.

This is the so called “Chinese Market version”. That’s what they usually say when something doesn’t look great. Then, a few months later, it lands in the US, pretty much the same. So this is basically the Buick version of the redesigned Chevrolet Equinox. At least in China, the Buck version is powered by the… Continue reading 2015 Buick Envision

And apparently, it will be very close to the concept (pictured above). About 90% close. I think this is great news. The LF-LC is quite stunning. This would make a great model for Lexus to go against the 6 series or S Class coupe. ( I guess that’s was the “old” SC was anyway.) We… Continue reading Lexus LF-LC Concept approved for production.

This, of course, is just an illustration. As we really knows what Alfa’s next mid size sedan will look like. It was, for a while, rumored to be based on the new Chrysler 200 platform. But now it looks like Alfa will be getting its own RWD platform instead. Which is a good thing. The… Continue reading 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia

These are better pictures of the all new Mazda2. And what a great looking little car, inside and out. Amazingly enough, Mazda has already started building them in Japan today. No word on the US engine. But it will probably be the same as the 1.5 Liter used in Japan. Although we will not be… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2015 Mazda2

Looking really cute. Pretty much exactly like a smaller Mazda3. (I guess that’s what everyone is doing now. One design for all…) Interior seems to be a big step forward. More upscale than the current model. And much better than the Fiesta.  (Although I still think the Fiesta hatchback looks great. Maybe even better than… Continue reading 2015 Mazda2

 So they are all new and still look like Smart cars. And at the same time, more like regular cars. Inside and out. No news yet about engines. But to me, these should all be electric. There are many roomier cars getting better MGPs around. So these need to be different. So far, it seems… Continue reading 2015 Smart ForTwo and ForFour

This is still just an illustration. But it does look a lot like these spy shots we have seen for about 15/20 years now. Just like most new Audi models, it just looks like a square version of the current car. The current Q7 still looks really good, I think. I’m sure the new one… Continue reading 2015 Audi Q7

According to Automotive News, Cadillac is actually considering a more powerful version of the Escalade. And maybe even a diesel version. Sure, there might be a few people who always want “bigger with more power”. I guess they can always add a supercharger or a turbo to the huge 6.2 Liter V8. (Although Lincoln decided… Continue reading Cadillac Escalade V-Sport and Diesel coming up???

It has finally been announced today. It will be built in the US. And not in Mexico. Good news fro Tennessee that will see another 2000 jobs from it. The bad news is: production will start late 2016. Not late this year. Or late next year. But over 2 years from now!!! The concept is… Continue reading VW Crossblue coming up…

Still under heavy camouflage. But now you can tell it will look quite different than the current model. Even if the general silhouette is similar. The cut from the hatchback and the rear door both look much more rounded than before.  I suspect that under all that black tape, things might not be that angular… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Prius

 Looks like the design is actually mostly new. But hard to say if it is “all new”. (2015 model is on top) I am also not so sure it is an improvement over the current one. At least the 4 door version. The 2 door model always looked more modern, and still does here. Again,… Continue reading 2015 Opel/Vauxhall Corsa

At least we get to see the interior early. Looks fine to me. In line with the new Mazda3, but smaller. Looks like the iPad looking screen is here to stay. I wonder how long it will take to appear in the Mazda 6 and CX5…

The K4 is for the Chinese market, only. So far. It is position right under the Optima, known as the K5 over there. And seems to be based on the Forte. As the previous generation had the same body as our Forte. This looks like a small version of the large K900 sedan. And more… Continue reading 2015 Kia K4

I still think it looks really good. I hear it is a bit smaller, yet roomier than the previous generation. And almost 200 pounds lighter as well. This will make our US model look even worse. Especially the interior, which is already one of the most depressing out there… All we rare getting here is… Continue reading More pictures of the all new 2015 Euro VW Passat
