VW Saveiro Pick-up
You guessed it, not for us. Just like other interesting cars VW has in other countries, like the Up and Scirocco. (The US market seems to just be an afterthought to them, really.) This is for the Brazilian market, and just got updated. Mostly a new front end that looks like the new Golf. Sure… Continue reading VW Saveiro Pick-up

Where do you live?
It’s that time again. I’ve done it before, I know. But I am always interested in knowing where my readers are from. Of course, I assume most of you read this from the US. But many of you don’t. These websites, no matter how small, can reach so far into the planet. I do have… Continue reading Where do you live?

More pictures of the Buick Envision
Looking exactly like what you’d expect. A smaller Enclave. From the back, it could be from anyone. It has that generic?kinda pleasant shape that almost all SUVs have these days. Interior has a lot of wood trim that looks really fake (At least on that pic) As I mentioned before, I think the new Lincoln… Continue reading More pictures of the Buick Envision

More pictures of the new 2015 Kia Sorento
Kia is hoping to sell over 270 000 a year of these, worldwide. So it’s better be good. It does look quite nice. More upscale than the previous version. Also more “family” like. Dare I say more “minivan” like? (Why not…I just said it) The 3.3 Liter V6 returns. And the 2.4 Liter also ,… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2015 Kia Sorento

Something you don’t see every day…
Saw this inside a small upholstery shop in Burbank. (AKA “Beautiful Burbank”) Looked to be in great condition. Owner actually drives it once in a while.

2015 Datsun mi-DO
A new Datsun, yes. After the on-DO sedan, here is the mi-DO hatchback version. These are for “emerging” market only. So these new Datsun models will not make it to Europe or the US. As you can see, this is a very cheap car. Which is fine. What is not fine, and actually laughable and… Continue reading 2015 Datsun mi-DO

2015 Volvo XC90
Well… It’s been 11 years. For something that doesn’t look that great. I mean, they’ve been teasing us with 3 great looking concept this past years. I mean great designs inside and out. Telling us “The next XC90 will look like that! Yes it will!” No it doesn’t. You could put any grille on that… Continue reading 2015 Volvo XC90

VW Jetta TDI Test Drive coming up.
I just got a Jetta TDI for the week. So I will be reporting on it soon. Last time I drove one, it was a 6 speed manual. And it was great. This time I am stuck with the DSG. Which is…. “not that great”. At all. More soon.

2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport
Or at least a toy version. Which gives us quite a good idea of what the real thing will look like. This is supposed to replace the Freelander/LR2 model.
-
Citroen DS 6WR
This one is not coming over here. It’s not even coming to Europe! This new Crossover from Citroen is, so far, for China only. It is about 3 inches shorter than an Audi Q5 and is powered by 1.6 Liter engines ranging from 163HP to 200HP. A 1.8 Liter Diesel with 140HP is also available.… Continue reading Citroen DS 6WR

All new Jaguar XE
This is it. The all new compact sedan from Jaguar. This picture was taken from the video posted above. Basically what you would see on the screen of your dashboard when you start the car. So far it looks fine. The video also shows bits of the interior. (In a weird Tron-like computer animation.) That’s… Continue reading All new Jaguar XE

Toyota FCV/Mirai
There is a rumor about “Mirai” being the actual name for the upcoming Hydrogen Toyota car. Why not… As you can see from the top pic, the real thing looks exactly the same as the one we saw just a few months ago (blue car) Not sure about pricing yet. But over 400 miles range… Continue reading Toyota FCV/Mirai
-
Land Rover Discovery Sport
This new model will replace the LR2 in the US. So it’s not big. So far they are only showing us the interior. Looking modern. (I guess this video wants to make us feel like an astronaut…) Range Rovers have been really good looking in the past years. This is promising…

Buick Envision Interior
From what we saw earlier, the new Envision seems pretty conservative and quite generic outside. At least on these pictures, the interior seems a bit more original. These are actually pretty bad photos, so it is hard to say. (Also that red/black combo isn’t for everyone) It could be a case of “trying too hard”.… Continue reading Buick Envision Interior

R.I.P: Hyundai Elantra Coupe
The coupe version of the Elantra will not return for 2015. Due to poor sales. Of course! A coupe should be more than a 2 door sedan. It should have more style and look better than the sedan version. Or at least, be different. Honda seems to be doing it right. Both the Civic coupe… Continue reading R.I.P: Hyundai Elantra Coupe

2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata
There is a new Miata coming. In just a few days now. And this is the 1st teaser for it. Which looks like.. A Miata. Expect the new model to be lighter and especially, more efficient with SkyActiv technology. Here are pictures of the real thing, in the streets. Still camouflaged, and we can’t see… Continue reading 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2015 Kia Sorento
Nothing except these 3 pictures yet. It does look a bit larger. And more upscale. The Sorento has been a big hit for Kia, with over 105 000 sold last year. If they can keep prices at similar levels, this could even be more popular.

Nissan Sentra Test Drive
The Sentra is one of these cars you really don’t notice around. Actually, just like most compact sedans, Like the Civic, Corolla etc… So I must admit, I wasn’t too exited to be getting one for a whole week. It looks fine. Nothing original or ugly either. Pretty much like a smaller Altima. Same thing… Continue reading Nissan Sentra Test Drive

2016 Chevrolet Volt
The all new 2016 Volt will be presented at the upcoming 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January. Sooner than I thought, actually. (Since the new Cruze was pushed back a year, I thought this one was too.) Looks a bit rounder from this angle. I do like the Volt. It is quite a fun sporty… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Volt
-
Tesla Model 3
This looks to me like a “lazy” illustration. I really hope the new smaller tesla will look a bit more different than the Model S. It is still at least 2 years away. And we really don’t know much about it. 200 miles range, $35 000 base price and about 20% smaller than the Model… Continue reading Tesla Model 3
-
2016 Kia Sorento
This is, of course, just a teaser image from Kia. But it does look really good. And pretty original for once. Trying to be a bit different. The Sorento has been a big hit for Kia so far. It won’t take much to keep it going strong. Glad ( I mean blad) to see they… Continue reading 2016 Kia Sorento

Something you don’t see every day…
I actually took this a few years ago. With my “old” phone… This was in Burbank. And I wonder if it’s still there.

3rd Generation Audi TT starts production
At Gyor, Hungary. Where they already build the A3 sedan and Convertible. So it’s coming soon… For the 1st time, i noticed how much more modern the “squared off” design looks. It gives Audi a bit more personality. (Good thing since this is pretty much the same front end we will see in all of… Continue reading 3rd Generation Audi TT starts production

New Opel Concept coming up.
This is an official teaser from Opel for the upcoming Moscow Auto Show. Doesn’t look like a production car. Or maybe it is? But the next new Opel will be the Astra, which is a hatchback. My bet is a concept version of the next Insignia (Our Buick Regal) No matter what, we will find… Continue reading New Opel Concept coming up.

2015 Hyundai i20
The i20 basically competes with cars like the Ford Fiesta, VW Polo etc… In Europe and other countries. Here in the US, we get the Accent. A cheap looking small sedan that competes mostly with the Nissan Versa. I guess this could go against the Nissan Versa Note. Since Hyundai is already selling us the… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai i20
