Something you don’t see every day…
A good old little Mitsubishi Space Gear, in Malibu. A right hand drive model with Canadian plates (?) A a diesel engine.

Chevrolet Spark Test Drive
I did drive the previous Spark before. I think about 3 years ago. And I did like it. At the time, my test car was a manual, which added to the fun. This time, I got the all new version with an Automatic CVT. As far as the new design is concern, I am not… Continue reading Chevrolet Spark Test Drive

2017 Buick Verano
Well, at least the one for the Chinese market. Not sure yet if GM will pull a “2016 Cruze” on us and design a specific car for the US. At least, the grille should be different, since our new Lacrosse has a new design. One that matches the Opel grille better. (So it’s now even… Continue reading 2017 Buick Verano

2017 Fiat Punto
So it looks like Marchionne is not killing Fiat. (Just Chrysler and Dodge…) There is finally a new Punto coming up. The current model (The green one) has been out since 2005! And still looks fine. (That’s what a good, simple Italian design does: it lasts) The interesting thing in these pictures? They were taken… Continue reading 2017 Fiat Punto

Is Sergio Marchionne killing Chrysler?
I like Fiat. I really like Chrysler. (Poor old Chrysler. You have to feel bad.) After a string of dead beat owners, they now have this guy… His recent comment sound like bad news to me. First, he’s been trying to force some stupid alliance with GM. Over and over. Even after they said “no… Continue reading Is Sergio Marchionne killing Chrysler?

Opel GT Concept
From the teaser video we saw just a few days ago, I was expecting “Opel is reinventing itself”. And “don’t miss what happens next”. Well, that GT Concept is not happening next, I can tell you that much. There are some interesting things here, for sure. Like the colored windows on the outside, the way… Continue reading Opel GT Concept

2017 Porsche 718 Boxster
For the new year, Porsche is replacing the Boxster convertible with a new model called the “718 Boxster”. It is not an all new car, as you can see (The current model is in blue. The new one on top) It now just looks a little bit sharper, and still great. Same thing from the… Continue reading 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster

Better pictures of the Cadillac CT6?
Some reviews are already in (mostly really good) And with them, come new pictures of the large Cadillac sedan for 2016. I must say, it does look better in dark. With the light interior. And that more convincing wood on the dash and console. The car I sat in at the Los Angeles Auto Show… Continue reading Better pictures of the Cadillac CT6?
-
Mazda CX-4
Which might also be called the CX-6 or CX-7. Although I have heard it is mostly based on the Mazda3. So CX-4 would make more sense. And, who really cares what it is called anyway. It just looks like another great looking Mazda on the way.

Volvo S90L
Because, China. Where long wheelbase versions of sedans (and pretty much everything else) are very popular. So, of course, there will be a long version of the new S90. About 4 inches longer. Not sure if we will se this here or not. But it’s not impossible. Since we are already getting the long version… Continue reading Volvo S90L

Something you don’t see every day…
At least not yet. Saw my first Model X last week and I thought: “Why don’t I take a picture of that and put it on my car site?”. So there. Why not?

Nissan Maxima Test Drive
First, let me say that I am a fan of the new Maxima Design. It is not for everyone (but what is…) And I do like that. It is good to see someone taking a few chances here and there. I guess Nissan figured they could grab a few buyers who want something a bit… Continue reading Nissan Maxima Test Drive

WTF???
These are pictures of a Japanese version of the all new 2016 Toyota Prius. So I am not sure if this particular color is available in the US or not. Still… Just look at this mess. I have to say, I am not anti Prius. At all. I actually liked the design of the previous… Continue reading WTF???

Mazda CX-4
This is pretty interesting. Basically a production version of last year’s great looking Koeru concept. It is smaller than the CX-5 for a bit larger and sportier than the CX-3. And, unlike BMW’s X4 and X6 series, which end up looking bloated , this looks very nice. So far, people at Mazda are describing it… Continue reading Mazda CX-4

No Future for the Avenir
You can stop dreaming. Buick said there will not be a production version of the amazing Avenir concept from last year. The 2017 Lacrosse is the closest thing we’ll get… Sad, but realistic. Since the Avenir would have been built on the same platform as the new Cadillac CT6. And it would have killed the… Continue reading No Future for the Avenir

Cadillac CT6 Plug-In, coming soon. From China
That’s right.. GM has announced that, while the regular versions of the CT6 will be built in the US, the Plug-In Hybrid version will be exclusively built in China. Even the ones sold in the US. Pretty amazing, and I must say, sad. Cadillac is pretty much the most American of brands. After the Buick… Continue reading Cadillac CT6 Plug-In, coming soon. From China

Chevrolet Equinox Test Drive
The current Equinox has been around for a while. It’ll be 7 years old this June. So it’s fair to say an all new one is “around the corner”. For sometime next year at the latest. I hear it will also be a bit smaller. (Since the next Traverse will be shrinking too) I drove… Continue reading Chevrolet Equinox Test Drive

Hyundai Ioniq
Just a few new pictures. It is still not out yet. And again, this should be a huge hit. Offering Hybrid, Plug-in and full electric versions. Since the “ugly as sin” new Prius makes the previous one look like Marilyn Monroe, the Ioniq should be a welcome addition to the market place. Something for people… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq

Road trip!
After getting this yesterday, I’ve decided to get out a town for a couple of days. A fantastic drive so far…

2017 GMC Acadia MPG
GM is claiming 22 city and 28 HWY for the new Acadia with the newly available 2.5 Liter engine. All I can tell you is: no way. During a week with the Equinox, (Using that same engine) all I was able to get around town was 18. And yes, around 27/28 on the freeway. So… Continue reading 2017 GMC Acadia MPG

2017 GMC Acadia
I do like this. Sure, it’s not that original. But it is very tasteful with great proportions. And it does look more upscale than before. The grille especially looks much more refined than the blunt design they’ve been using for a while. It is a bit smaller than before. (And about 700 pounds lighter). But… Continue reading 2017 GMC Acadia

2017 Lincoln Continental
Again, what we saw last year was not a concept, really. It was this production car with more chrome. A lot more chrome. I didn’t like it then and I like it even less now. As I said before, this should have never been called “Continental”. That name comes with a history, heritage and prestige… Continue reading 2017 Lincoln Continental

2017 Honda Ridgeline
This, is very sad and crappy… I mean really. What were they thinking??? The Ridgeline was a “truck” for people who don’t need or want the usual pick up. Something different. Now, it is still car based. But tries really hard to look like a real truck. And actually ends up looking more boring and… Continue reading 2017 Honda Ridgeline

Lexus LC500. More pictures
Still looking quite stunning. It could do without all that grey plastic trim around the lights, but that’s OK. Still an amazing design, I think. Inside too. Except the “all beige” interior isn’t really my taste. I think it would look much better in a tan/black combo. (Which is probably available) And while I’m at… Continue reading Lexus LC500.

2017 Lexus LC500
Simply looking stunning… This is the production model. I repeat, the PRODUCTION MODEL. Lexus has done an amazing job at turning the concept from 2012 (Already…) into a production car. Well with the wait. This is the concept. (Second version of it) A Hybrid version will soon join the V8 as well. More details coming… Continue reading 2017 Lexus LC500
