Bentley SUV teaser video
So they are doing this… Reminds me of what I felt when Porsche announced the 1st Cayenne. Blasphemous. (Of course, we all know how wrong we all were and the Cayenne has been a huge hit.) So I guess everyone has to have an SUV these days. The only good thing I can say is… Continue reading Bentley SUV teaser video

2015 Hyundai AG
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

Nissan Skyline 200GT/Infiniti Q50 2.0
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

2015 Toyota Yaris
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 XC90 Interior
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

2015 Lexus NX
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.

2015 Mercedes C Class wagon
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

2015 Audi A7
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

All new Nissan Pulsar
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

GM bit on the John Oliver show
Interesting… I wonder if there is that much hate for GM right now. Since it seems their recent sale numbers have not been affected. Yet.

2015 Dodge Challenger
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…)

Lincoln MKC testing something?
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?

Nissan Pulsar
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

Nissan Z Roadster Test Drive
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

Bentley Video
We’ve all seen how great Bentleys look, inside and out. So in that regard, this video is no great surprise. The amazing part is that is was shot on an iPhone. And “assembled” on an iPad, inside the Bentley. (Now, assembled might not mean the whole editing precessed was actually done on the iPad.) This… Continue reading Bentley Video

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe price
The new Cadillac coupe will dart at $39 000 when it goes on sale at the end of the summer. It comes standard with the 2.0 Liter turbo (unlike the sedan). So it is about $3000 more than the sedan. Or about the same as the Infiniti Q60 (Old G37) I think it is a… Continue reading 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe price

Ford Troller
Troller is a Brazilian brand that was bought by Ford back in 2007. In 2012 they showed a really interesting concept called the Troller TR-X Concept 4. (Which looked much better than previous “non Ford” Troller models. ) Now we have these pictures from Brazil showing the production version. Which looks very similar to the… Continue reading Ford Troller

2015/16 Volvo XC90
It seems that we have seen spy shots and teasers of this car for years now… Well, here is another one. Volvo released another teaser video featuring some “cool and upscale” Americans. (Which I guess is what they’re looking for) You are not going to see much of the car.. (The picture above is pretty… Continue reading 2015/16 Volvo XC90

2015 Mercedes CLS
Stop the press! It looks like the CLS is getting new headlights for the new year. (And that’s A LOT of lights) Here is what they look like now.

Fiat Punto Avventura
Looks like the Avventura will be coming out soon. Together with a revised version of the regular Punto model. A cute raised up, off road looking hatchback. Of course, this is not for us. Since we are only getting the 500 and its cousins. It would be nice to see a Fiat model in the… Continue reading Fiat Punto Avventura

1971 Ford Mustang
For some reason, I’ve always really liked the design of the 1971 Mustang. the Fastback version. (Wich remained pretty much the same until 1973) I just love that simple, straight line from the top of the windshield all the way to the end of the car. Sure, it was a “big 1970’s” car. But I… Continue reading 1971 Ford Mustang

Car weekend: Ford “Ecoboost Drive”
So I got invited to this “Ecoboost Event” thing a few weeks ago. I thought I would bring along a good friend of mine, and drive a few Fords for a day. It turned out to be quite an interesting experience…. As Ford is trying to educate people about their Turbo engines and how they… Continue reading Car weekend: Ford “Ecoboost Drive”

VW Polo Based SUV coming up
And why not. Why not have an SUV version of every single model you produce. This is an illustration of what a production version of the T-Roc concept could look like. And it would be based on the next generation Polo. Since we are scheduled to get the next Polo in the US, I would… Continue reading VW Polo Based SUV coming up
