2015 VW Polo
These are just illustrations, of course. But the next Polo is scheduled to be sold in the US for the 1st time So it is interesting to see what it could be. It will be a good thing for VW to offer a smaller and cheaper car than the Golf over here. Looks like the… Continue reading 2015 VW Polo

Porsche Macan
These pix are from the German magazine AutoMotor ind Sport. And they don’t look real to me. The front bumper especially looks like it is still a Photoshop illustration. As it doesn’t match the official sketches we have seen so far. The real thing is coming out very soon and I will be at the… Continue reading Porsche Macan

2014 VW Passat Sport
Not available yet. But later in the 2014 model year, VW will offer a new Sprt version of the Passat with the new 1.8 Liter turbo. So far the changes appear to be only cosmetic. Black roof, mirrors, new wheels, new interior trim etc… I think it all looks really nice. (Although the black roof… Continue reading 2014 VW Passat Sport

Subaru Levorg Concept
Let’s hope they find another name for the production version. “Levorg” sounds like a bad early 80’s science fiction movie. Not sure if this is the concept version of the next Outback. Or the larger, Japan only Exiga. Which seats 7. We’ll see…

A few more pix of the all new Mercedes C-Class
Still looking really, really good. More than ever, a small S-Class. Looks like a hit for Mercedes.

2014 Nissan Altima Test Drive.
Yes. I did drive a 2013 Altima just a few months ago. So this is very familiar. This time my test car is an SV model with no options. For a total of $24 970 including Destination Charges. In my opinion, the Altima is still one of the best looking mid sized sedan out there.… Continue reading 2014 Nissan Altima Test Drive.

2015 Mercedes C Class
I must say that I really thought this was a pic of the 2014 S Class at first. This looks quite upscale. A cross between the S class and the CLA. Much more very soon….

2015 Ford Mustang illustrations
Looks like car And Driver magazine commissioned a few CGI illustrations of the next Mustang. Let’s just hope they are wrong. I think these are horrible. The whole thing looks like a Chinese copy of the current car. The base engine should be an “updated” version of the current V6. (Let’s hope it sounds a… Continue reading 2015 Ford Mustang illustrations

Kia K900 US
This is the 1st official picture of the US version. The big Kia is based on the Hyundai Equus. But it seems like a much better looking alternative. Unlike the Equus, the Kia will be available with a V6 as a base engine. A V8 will still be an option. It will make its debut… Continue reading Kia K900 US

2015 Mini Cooper S
Another small teaser. Showcasing the new LED lights. (Why aren’t these full circles???) The Cooper S will feature an all new 2.0 Liter Turbo engine.

2015 Kia Sedona
Instead of giving us a production version of the super modern KV7 Concept from 3 years ago, we will get this. Looking OK. But just another minivan. The original concept. What a difference…

2015 Kia Sorento
Kia is already testing the next Sorento. It has been one of their most successful model in the US. So the redesign is quite a big deal. It already looks a bit sleeker than the current model.
-
BMW 2 series
Much nicer official pictures of the new small coupe from BMW. But even with the good light, it still doesn’t really look more modern than the outgoing 1 series coupe. Which is too bad. even the sunroof is still a small old fashion one. Why even bother redesigning something??? A nice interior. Which is the… Continue reading BMW 2 series

2015 Audi A3 sedan: $29 900.
Which in the US is the same price as the Mercedes CLS. For that price you get a 1.8 Liter Turbo engine. Same as the 2014 Jetta/Beetle/Passat. So nothing really premium here. As an option you can step up to the 2.0 Liter Turbo. Or the TDI. (Again, just like the Jetta) Or even a… Continue reading 2015 Audi A3 sedan: $29 900.

Chinese Ford Escort
I guess the current Focus is way too crazy looking for the Chines market? These patent designs show that Ford will indue introduce a more conservative alternative for that local market. Using the old “escort” name. This is the concept we saw last year. As you can see, the production design above stays very close.… Continue reading Chinese Ford Escort

More pix (and video) of the new Honda S660 Concept
I think this is one of the best looking car Honda has come up to in years. Like someone said here: “a real Honda”. Let’s hope this translates well into production. The main issue being the top. And how to fit one… Here is a really cool video explaining Honda’s history of small sporty cars.… Continue reading More pix (and video) of the new Honda S660 Concept

2015 Hyundai Genesis
Looking much better in the official renderings than the long lens spy shots from a few days ago. This could turn out to be quite nice. If not original….

Honda S660
A nice looking sporty Honda for a change. Something cute. The S660 will enter production next year. So far this is for Japan only. Powered by a tiny 3 cylinder engine (The 660cc). Who knows, maybe they’ll find a way to squeeze a larger engine for overseas. Or come up with a slightly larger model… Continue reading Honda S660

Mercedes S-Class Pullman/Maybach
This is the super luxurious long version of the new S-Class. Replacing the Maybach. (But cheaper) They were going to call it the S-Class Pullman. But now there is a new rumor about the Maybach name making a comeback. No matter what they call it, this will be Mercedes’s way to compete with “low end”… Continue reading Mercedes S-Class Pullman/Maybach
-
BMW 2 -series
Another picture of the 2 series. the “New 1 series coupe”. I am sure it drives and feels great. But it looks the same as any other BMW from the past 10 years. Still the old idea of the “coupe” being more of a 2 door sedan.

Mercedes C-Class SportCoupe coming back?
The all new C-Class sedan is just around the corner. And there is already a rumor about a hatchback version called SportCoupe. So far we have seen prototypes of the convertible and wagon version, but no hatchback yet. If it ever happens, it would compete with the Audi A5 Sportback and BMW 3 series GT.… Continue reading Mercedes C-Class SportCoupe coming back?

2014/15 VW Tiguan
It is be about time for a new one. As the Tiguan is already over 6 years old. This illustration takes some cues from recent VW concepts as well as the Up micro car. So it could be close to the real thing. I haven’t seen any spy shots of the next Tiguan testing yet,… Continue reading 2014/15 VW Tiguan

BMW 2 series
Someone took pictures at a presentation. As you can see, nothing new. Zero surprise. Seems like these pictures could have been taken years ago… Too bad…

2015/16 Mercedes C-Class Coupe
The all new C-Class sedan will be introduced next month at the Detroit Auto Show. And a new convertible version about a year later. But the “regular” coupe will also return. (As well as the Euro-only wagon). This illustration shows what the coupe could look like. And it is really nice. Matching the spy shots… Continue reading 2015/16 Mercedes C-Class Coupe
