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

That’s a weird/interesting idea. Fiat could base a larger 500 model on the larger Punto platform and call it the 900 Plus. It would compete with cars like the Golf and Focus. It seems that Fiat is quite afraid to send us anything that isn’t called a 500. For some reason. So I guess they… Continue reading 2016 Fiat 500 “Plus”???

It is hard to say which one. Most people are saying this is the new Frontier. But Nissan has been hard at work on an all new Titan for a while. (No matter what it is, we won’t have to wait long since the whole thing will be unveiled next week) What do you think.

Saw my 1st all new 2015 GTI yesterday. In Malibu. Even though the 1st ones are being delivered to dealers as we speak, I am not sure they are on the roads yet. This had a Michigan plate, so probably driven by a “member of the press”. I saw the Golf VII in Europe last… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day…

Hyundai has just shown to the press an all new sedan, so far only named AG. It will slot between the Azera/Grandeur and the new Genesis. So it is basically a slightly larger, more luxurious Azera since it is also FWD. This is mostly for the Korean and Chinese markets. I can’t really see it… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai AG

It has been around 4 years since Nissan and Mercedes announced a “Global partnership”. The 1st result of it is this all new 2.0 Liter Turbo version of the Infiniti Q50 (Nissan Skyline in Japan). The new model is using a Mercedes 2.0 Liter engine with 214HP. The next step will be the all new… Continue reading Nissan Skyline 200GT/Infiniti Q50 2.0

Just the usual mid-cycle changes. A new front end and rear lights, some small changes inside etc… It looks like that big mouth look is the new Toyota corporate design. Since we saw this in the new 2015 Camry as well. It does start looking weird. A bit like a Chinese car…

Volvo has been teasing us with the all new XC90 for so long now… But today we finally get to see the real thing. Inside. And it does look quite impressive. Although, for my taste, there seem to be a lot of shapes. The center screen with the vents on each sides looks like it… Continue reading Volvo XC90 Interior

We have seen the new NX before. But I thought these might be interesting as they show it in the streets. Not in a studio, or auto show. As I mentioned earlier, like it or not, I think this will turn out to be quite popular. Maybe even more than the RX.

What a good looking classic wagon. I actually think this will steal sales from the larger and more expensive E-Class wagon. The C-Class is a bit smaller, but so much more modern. And the new interior is light years ahead of the old blocky mess in the current aging E-Class. This is just really nice.… Continue reading 2015 Mercedes C Class wagon

There are a few new things for the A7 next year. Besides slightly revised engines and rear lights, most of the news are up front. As you can see, it is the usual for updated Audi models: “make it more square”. The lower part of the bumper sure is busy. But overall the changes don’t… Continue reading 2015 Audi A7

The Pulsar is Nissan’s new weapon against the VW Golf in Europe. Which means it will also compete with the Focus, Astra. And more odes from Peugeot, Fiat and even its partner, Renault. So far, it looks more like a US Nissan than a European one. Even with the hatchback. Not sure the design is… Continue reading All new Nissan Pulsar

The all new 2015 Subaru will start at $21 695, before destination. Here are the starting prices for some of its competition (Also excluding destination): – Toyota Camry $22 425 -Honda Accord $21 995 -Ford Fusion $21 970 -Kia Optima $21 500 -Mazda 6 $21 190 -Nissan Altima $22 170 So it is either cheaper… Continue reading Subaru prices the 2015 Legacy: Free AWD for everyone!

Just in case you were wondering what the revised model looked like when in a parking lot… It does look good. Dodge did a good job and didn’t ruin the design. (funny how half of the lower bumper is still a bit covered…)

We’ve all seen the new Lincoln MKC, at least in pictures. So there is nothing to hide. Or is there? This was taken just a few days ago. What could they be testing?  It could be a Hybrid version, or plug-in Energi model? Which would make sense since the technology is already available from other… Continue reading Lincoln MKC testing something?

This is coming out in just a few days. Expect Nissan’s new front end  (seen here) and a “floating roof” design element similar to the new Murano and upcoming Maxima. The all new Pulsar will be sold as a 5 door hatchback only. No 3 door version. And no sedan. As it will battle mostly… Continue reading Nissan Pulsar

The current Z Roadster has been around for a while. So there are no surprises. But it still looks really good. (Although not as original as the previous generation.) It is like a rounded/wavy version of the previous one. With the top down, it is quite aggressive looking. And kind of old fashion . The… Continue reading Nissan Z Roadster Test Drive
