The new generation VW Tiguan is out, and I think it actually looks pretty nice. Much nicer than the current version, which wasn’t hard to achieve. Since the 2nd generation came out 9 years ago and already looked old then. I remember it took a long time for VW to offer the 2nd generation in… Continue reading 2024 VW Tiguan
2026 Jaguar XJ
Jaguar has confirmed their first new model from their “reimagine program” will be an all-new sports sedan based on the upcoming JEA platform. This model will start at around $125 000 and will have a range of up to 430 miles in the European test cycle. That could mean no more than 400 miles EPA,… Continue reading 2026 Jaguar XJ
2025 Mini Countryman E
Smaller wheels. No gold trim. Yes, this one is the cheaper “E” version of the all-new Mini Countryman EV. It is also the US model that will go on sale in about a year. This cheaper E model is FWD with a 287-mile battery (European test cycle). The SE version we saw just a few… Continue reading 2025 Mini Countryman E
Future Jeep EVs
Jeep has already announced its lineup will be 50% EVs in the US by 2030. They showed us the upcoming Recon and Wagoneer S concepts last year. These 2 models will be based on the new STLA EV platform and are scheduled to start production next year. Europe already has the Avenger Compact EV, which… Continue reading Future Jeep EVs
2024 Buick Enclave
We are finally getting to see spy shots of the next-generation Buick Enclave. This will be the 3rd new model based on the same platform after the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse and 2024 GMC Acadia. Both the new Traverse and Acadia look pretty good (although the GMC grille ruins everything) and the Buick version could be… Continue reading 2024 Buick Enclave
Honda Accord EX Video
After test-driving the new 2023 Honda Accord Touring a few weeks ago, I was wondering if a cheaper model, like this 1.5 Liter EX, would actually be a better deal. Since I wasn’t really crazy about the loaded Touring model, especially for $39,000. The EX is about $8000 cheaper, which is a huge difference. But… Continue reading Honda Accord EX Video
Mercedes CLA-Class wagon
The top photo was shown by Mercedes very recently. It could be the production version of the new CLA-Class wagon previewed a couple of weeks ago. I mean, it does look different from the official teaser shown at the concept unveiling (2nd pic). The new platform will produce a wagon and 2 new SUVs on… Continue reading Mercedes CLA-Class wagon
Tesla Model 3
These are just a few more official photos of the revised Tesla Model 3. 2 of these pix are from the 2018 original Model 3. You can see that the interior is all new when compared to the original. Although some changes appeared a few years ago when they removed all the chrome bits outside.… Continue reading Tesla Model 3
Fisker Ocean hands-on video.
The “Fisker Lounge” finally opened in L.A. a few weeks ago and I finally got to see the new Fisker Ocean in the flesh. I made this short “hands-on” video to share my thoughts about the all-new EV. Although I had seen it in person at last year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, it was an… Continue reading Fisker Ocean hands-on video.
2024 GMC Acadia
The GMC Acadia is all new for 2024. It is larger than before and now shares its platform with the new 2024 Chevrolet Traverse. The only engine offered isn a 2.5 Liter 4 cylinder with 328HP. Which might be powerful enough but will be no match to the 3.6 Liter V6 for smoothness. The giant… Continue reading 2024 GMC Acadia
2025 Cadillac CT5
The Cadillac Ct5 is a car I always want to like. I test-drove one a few years ago and liked it, but didn’t love it. It was a bit too sporty and not plush enough to really be a Cadillac. The styling, inside and out was just OK, and again, not something special. For the… Continue reading 2025 Cadillac CT5
Alfa-Romeo Brennero
The new Alf_romeo Brennero will be Alfa’s version of the new FIAT 600 and the Jeep Avenger. All 3 small SUVs are based on Stelantis’s CMP/eCMP platform. It will offer EV as well as ICE versions. The platform is far from new since it was first used in 2018, but it seems Stelantis is serious… Continue reading Alfa-Romeo Brennero
2025 Toyota Camry
The next-generation Toyota Camry is scheduled to appear at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show this coming November. I am actually surprised we don’t see more illustrations of what it could look like. And so far, no spy shots either. Toyota is great at keeping their future models a secret, as they did with the… Continue reading 2025 Toyota Camry
New Mini Countryman video
Just like the regular Mini Cooper, the larger Countryman is also new and electric for its next generation. And again, an ICE model is rumored to maybe join the range soon. The Countryman is larger than before and to many looks even less like a Mini than before. The interior is very similar to the… Continue reading New Mini Countryman video
2024 Peugeot e-3008
I personally think Peugeot’s recent designs have been the worst in their long history. The new e-3008 isn’t as bad as some, which might be the best thing I could say about it. For the past few years, every new Peugeot has been a horrible mess of way too many lines and heavy-handed design cues.… Continue reading 2024 Peugeot e-3008
New Mini Cooper Video
This is a short video showing the new Mini Cooper EV inside and out. It’s probably currently the next best thing to see it in person. The new Mini should be available next year in the US. And is expected to still offer an ICE version in some markets later. Although the beloved 6-speed manual… Continue reading New Mini Cooper Video
Lotus Emeya
The new Lotus Emeya for 2025 is basically a lower, sedan version of the Eletre SUV we saw last year. The top-of-the-line version will have 905HP. Which is of course pretty crazy. It has a smaller battery than the Eletre but is expected to get a similar range of around 370 miles. ( In the… Continue reading Lotus Emeya
Toyota Century SUV
As we’ve discussed before, the new Toyota Century SUV doesn’t have much to do with the classic Toyota Century sedan. Unlike the RWD V8 sedan, this is based on the AWD Toyota Grand Hinglander with a V6 PHEV. Taking out the 3rd-row seat has created a massive amount of room for the rear passengers. In… Continue reading Toyota Century SUV
Toyota Century SUV
As you can see from this new official teaser, we won’ have to wait too long to see the new Toyota Century SUV. As mentioned before, this will only be a “Century” in name, since it will be based on the new Toyota Grand Highlander. Although Toyota will do its best to make it look… Continue reading Toyota Century SUV
Mercedes Concept CLA-Class
The name of this new concept is a bit misleading since there has been a CLA for years. This is hardly a “new class” for Mercedes. I didn’t realize, but the current CLA is already about 5 years old. This means it could be time for a new one in a year or so. This… Continue reading Mercedes Concept CLA-Class
