• 2016 Toyota Prius

    The current Prius is getting a bit long in the tooth. It’s over 6 years old now. Looks like the next one will keep the general hatchback shape. While being quite a bit sleeker. (That rear hatch window is almost flat!) A good thing for Toyota. As the Prius is a giant hit pretty much… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Prius

  • NO Mazda2 for the US

     The suits at Mazda have now officially decided not to sell the all new Mazda2 in the US. It is built in Mexico and has been engineered with the US in mind. (Since Toyota will sell us the sedan version as a Scion) Too bad. I test drove the previous model a few years ago… Continue reading NO Mazda2 for the US

  • All new Renault Kwid

    The tiny and super cheap Kwid is based on a “new platform common to Renault and Nissan”. So this could become a new cheap Nissan somewhere in the world. Right now, its market ins mainly India. Where it starts at around $4800 . I repeat, that’s $4800!!!!  (A fancier model starts at $6300) To put… Continue reading All new Renault Kwid

  • 2017 Maserati Levante

     The new Levante SUV is pretty much a production version of the Kubang “concept” from 2011. Yes, 2011… It didn’t look that futuristic then, and it doesn’t now. Not that it has to be. But after over 4 years, things look pretty much the same. Windows are a bit taller, stronger shoulder, lights a bit… Continue reading 2017 Maserati Levante

  • New Toyota Sienta.

    I must say, I am not familiar with the Sienta. Apparently, the current model has been around since 2003! So it’s about time for a new one. And it looks like a minivan version of the Prius C. Which, in the US, could actually make quite a nice new Scion model (instead of the rebadged… Continue reading New Toyota Sienta.

  • New Honda Shuttle

    The Shuttle has been, for years, a longer, wagon type version go the Fit. Since there was a new Fit last year, now we have a new Shuttle. When I say “we” I mean “them”.  Since we never got the Shuttle here in the US. And we are not getting this one either. As usual,… Continue reading New Honda Shuttle

  • 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

    We will see the whole thing tomorrow, but for not, this is it. From some CNBC promo. Well… It looks like a Camaro. Like they had told us, it’s not really a new look. (Even though it is a brand new design off a new platform) -New base engine is a 2.0 Liter Turbo with… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

  • Ford Mondeo Vignale

    The Fusion’s European cousin, the Mondeo, can now be ordered as a new top of the line model, called Vignale. From the name of an old design company. (Just like Ford did in the 70’s by  using the name “Ghia” on their top of the line models. So not a new idea…) The Fusion is… Continue reading Ford Mondeo Vignale

  • 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

    Just a few more teasers before we see the whole thing in just a few days. No surprises really. The profile does look better than some of the photoshop illustrations I’ve seen before. So that’s good. (Too bad about that stupid spoiler that still looks like a PepBoys add on) The front kind of looks… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

  • 2016 BMW 7 series

    We’ve seen most of it before, not a surprise. Not that I expected anything new, really. Since all BMW sedans look pretty much the same. So this, again, looks like a giant 3 series. With more chrome. Lots of chrome. I am in Europe for a few days, and have noticed how much chrome there… Continue reading 2016 BMW 7 series

  • 2016/17 Toyota Prius

    This is, of course, just an illustration. It shows a car so similar to the curent one that most people (Except car nerds like us, and previous owners) won’t be able to tell the difference. So, let’s hope the new Prius looks better than this. Especially after 7 years. I haven’t heard anything about a… Continue reading 2016/17 Toyota Prius

  • 2016 Chevrolet Cruze

     There is, finally, an all new Cruze coming. And it does look quite nice. At least from these pictures. It does fit nicely next to the new Malibu and Impala. Which now gives Chevrolet 3 nice looking sedans. engines will probably be smaller Turbos. Competing with the new Civic which is getting a new 1.5… Continue reading 2016 Chevrolet Cruze
