Looks like the wagon version of the new Golf. Sold in Europe and coming to the US soon. But… This one is actually electric. So far, there has been no news about an EV version of the new wagon. (The electric E-Golf hatch is coming out soon) And it was caught in the US. Strange…

 The big news for Opel at the Paris auto show this year will be a new Corsa compact. As before, it will compete in Europe with cars like the Ford Fiesta and the VW Polo. I personally don’t think it looks better than the current model. Or more modern, at all. It’s fine, but not… Continue reading 2015 Opel Corsa

 The 508 is one of these invisible cars. I saw a few (very few) while I was in Europe last year. And was actually surprised how bland they look in real life. It’s almost sad. The revised front has a much stronger personality, giving the car a more upscale look as well. One of the… Continue reading 2015 Peugeot 508

 The usual mid-cycle changes for a Mercedes. New lights, bumpers etc.. Inside, basically the same thing. Now with the iPad like screen sitting on top of the “rather old looking” center console. A 9 speed auto is also new. Not sure of engines for the US yet. (If we are getting it with a V6… Continue reading 2015 Mercedes CLS

According to Reuters, Volvo plans to sell Chinese made S60 sedans in the US as early as next year. We’ve hear this before. What we haven’t heard before is the news about selling the long wheelbase version of the S60 over here. The S60L, which was designed specifically for the Chinese market. With over 3… Continue reading Chinese made Volvo S60 coming to the US!

These are just illustrations and NOT the real thing. But it does fit VW’s current designs. The all new Tiguan will come out early 2015. (And who the hell knows when in the US…) It will not have a small 3rd row seats (Like the new Rogue). Being based on a longer version of the… Continue reading 2016 VW Tiguan

LEDs! It’s getting LEDs!

The “regular” 2 seater will be redesigned. But a new 4 door will also join. Based on the same platform as the new Renault Twingo. Although, the ForFour version is rumored to be staying in Europe. Not sure why. Since Smart has been struggling pretty bad in the US, you would think they would welcome… Continue reading New Smart cars coming up

 Let’s hope this one stays in south America and India. As the current Ka sold in Europe looks much better than this. This just looks really, really cheap. Competing with other super cheap entry level models in those markets. Here is the current Ka sold in Europe. This is the second generation and came out… Continue reading New Ford Ka

This is Nissan’s weird idea to expand the Infiniti brand in China. An Infiniti badged Nissan Juke. As you can see, there is nothing new. Except the front grille and more chrome everywhere. The only good part of this is that it will stay in China.

 And why the hell not… Since Bentley is doing it, right? This has been such a long rumor: a Rolls SUV. Maybe because it would really be the worst case of automotive blasphemy. Or because it would instantly become the best selling Rolls Royce ever and prove everyone wrong… Either way, here are some of… Continue reading Rolls-Royce SUV coming up?

Yes, yes it is. A weird Infiniti version of the Nissan Juke. With 18 inch chrome wheels, Infiniti logos all around and 200HP from the same 1.6 Liter Turbo. The one good thing about this, is that it is only for the Chinese market (so far…) I really don’t think anyone here or Europe would… Continue reading “All new” Infiniti ESQ (???)

Euro Passat, that is. Not the one we are getting over here. The larger and cheaper one. This is all new. While all we are getting next year is a revised version of the current one. (By the way, the front wheel under the cover looks huge! What is that????)

But is it the new Frontier? Obviously these pictures are of  right hand drive model. So it is mostly a new version of the overseas Navara model. (Which is pretty much the Frontier anyway…) Some sites are saying this is a Mitsubishi based truck. So not the new  Frontier. What do you think. “2015 Frontier’… Continue reading All new 2015 Nissan Compact pick-up truck

Scion will be getting a few new models very soon. There will be a small sedan based on the next Mazda2. (That seems a weird choice to me) A small Crossover. ( A good choice as it is a growing segment) And there are rumors about the European Auris making it here as well. As… Continue reading Euro Toyota Auris as Scion for the US ?

Same old thing really. Take the old design, use some current BMW details found in every other models of the brand. Add a Buick-like swoop above the rear wheel. And voila: the new one…

This has been a rumor for so many years. Even back 2 generations ago. It is finally here. 2 small “regular” rear doors are added to the Mini. Making it about 6 inches longer than the regular model. Engine choices are the same as the new 2015 “3 door” model. I don’t think it ruins… Continue reading 2015 Mini Cooper 5 door

 It does look luxurious enough on these well lit pictures. And I am all for the upright display, which makes a lot of sense. Since it feels like a phone, something we are all  using every day. But I am really not  fan of replacing the dials with another screen. I know this is a… Continue reading 2015 Volvo XC90 Interior
