2018 Subaru XV
I remember a few people were asking about this car a while ago. Called the XV overseas, and the Crosstrek here . These pictures were sent to me by a reader (Thanks!). They are part of the Australian official brochure. So things might be slightly different in the US model. The car comes out June… Continue reading 2018 Subaru XV

Nissan Pathfinder test drive
The current Pathfinder came out in 2012. So it’s nothing “all new”. It got a few revisions ( new grille etc) for the current 2017 model year. The 5 year old design holds up pretty well. It was never a stand out. And by now, it is pretty much invisible everywhere it goes. Which is… Continue reading Nissan Pathfinder test drive

More Saab Zombies from NEVS in China
I must say, this is not too bad looking, considering the age of that original sedan design. (in came out in 1998!) As I reported earlier, it is now an EV. Which couldn’t be more fitting for a car that could actually be compared with the Frankenstein monster. (The monster was also powered by electricity)… Continue reading More Saab Zombies from NEVS in China

2018 Audi A8
Amazing how many pictures we have seen so far of the next A8. Which will look so much like the current one. Which means it won’t be ugly. Just invisible. Like the BMW 7 series. Or the previous A8. And the one before that…

2018 Hyundai Kona
The all new Hyundai Kona has been caught again.This time in Spain. And I still think it is looking good. In line with it’s market which includes such extroverts as the Nissan Juke and Toyota CH-R. But also Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3. All the pictures can be seen HERE. I predict this will be pretty much… Continue reading 2018 Hyundai Kona

Tesla Model 3 Interior
So far this is our best view of the interior of the new Tesla Model3 And it is really, really simple. Compared to the ‘concept’ from last year, the only difference seems to be wood trim. I remember Lincoln doing that on the old Lincoln Mark VIII interior. When people complained the interior was just… Continue reading Tesla Model 3 Interior

2018 Mercedes C-Class Interior
The C-Class is getting a “facelift” for the new year. it will come with the usual tiny changes. Like new bumpers and slightly revised lights. As well as the “almost the same” interior. As you can see in the above picture. Looks like therein change is the trackpad. (Still not as convenient as a good… Continue reading 2018 Mercedes C-Class Interior

2018 Bentley Continental GT
I’ve always liked the Continental GT coupe. Especially the first generation. It is just a great looking car. The second generation was a bit of a let down. Like a bad Xerox copy of the first one. But things look like they will be getting better with the 3rd generation coming up really soon. Spy… Continue reading 2018 Bentley Continental GT

Lexus kills the Ct200h
Well, of course they are.They want us buying small SUVs. With much larger profit margins. In 2015, they sold almost 15 000 of them (almost 18 000 the year before)In 2016, sales went down to 8903.Of course. Since they have been selling it since April 2011. With almost no changes.It was based on the previous… Continue reading Lexus kills the Ct200h

2018 Rolls Royce Phantom
Looks like “more of the same” for the “all new” Rolls Royce Phantom. Rolls used to actually be very different from one design to another. One the “good old days”. But it looks like BMW is pulling a BMW on Rolls. So the next generation Phantom will basically look the same current one. Just like… Continue reading 2018 Rolls Royce Phantom

Nissan Kicks caught in Michigan. Replacing Juke in the US next year
A few units of the Nissan Kicks have been spotted in Michigan in the past few months.Which means it’s coming over here.Replacing the 7 year old Juke. Not sure if it will keep the Juke name or not in the US. I test drove the Juke before and liked it a lot. Especially with the manual. (Since the… Continue reading Nissan Kicks caught in Michigan.

2018/19 Jeep 7 seater model (new Grand Cherokee?)
These are patent drawings from Jeep. Of a new 7 seater model. It could be a production version of the Yuntu concept we saw from China recently. Or the all new larger Jeep Wagoneer. Or, also, a longer 7 seater version of the next Grand Cherokee. This is all we have so far about the… Continue reading 2018/19 Jeep 7 seater model (new Grand Cherokee?)

BMW 8 series concept
This looks really nice, and quite agressive. Like I mentioned earlier, I am not sure the production design will be that good (From the spy shots we have all seen of the real thing) I really like the slanted grille. Something that reminds us of the old BMWs. And something the regular models like the… Continue reading BMW 8 series concept

2019 Chrysler Portal?
This was sent to me as the new upcoming Chrysler Portal. I have heard rumors that Chrysler would actually produce a version of the really cool looking Portal concept. But since the brand is practically dead, any new product rumor is suspicious. This would obviously be a new crossover smaller than the Pacifica. The mule/prototype… Continue reading 2019 Chrysler Portal?

2018 Honda Passport?
This picture (and more) was posted today on the Motor1 site. (HERE) They think this is some new Chevrolet SUV. I am not sure where a new SUV/Crossover line would fit in Chevrolet’s line up. They already seem to cover every size with the Trax/Equinox/Traverse. To me, this looks much more like the Honda Avancier… Continue reading 2018 Honda Passport?

BMW 8 series Concept
So far, this is looking pretty fantastic. I just wonder how much of that concept will make it into the production model next year. The new 8 series basically replaces the “old” 6 series. Why? Besides being able to charge more for an 8 than a 6, who knows… This is a prototype of the… Continue reading BMW 8 series Concept

2018 Tesla Model 3 interior
Just a couple of pictures showing the production interior. Or at least, a little bit of it. Showing the wood trim that was missing from the prototype. I guess Tesla realizes their interiors look and feel quite cheap compared to cars of the same price. (The Model3 will be about the price of a Mercedes… Continue reading 2018 Tesla Model 3 interior

2018 Porsche Macan
No now can see what is hiding behind the rear end camouflage of these Porsche Macan prototypes driving around. The sketch above shows the new lights. Similar to the new Panamera. And just like in the larger sedan, looking great… We should be seeing the real thing very soon.

2018 GMC Yukon Denali
In other earth shattering news, the Denali version of the GMC Yukon is getting a new grille design for 2018. And a new 10 speed automatic. (It comes with 8 speed now) So there… You can check my review of the GMC Yukon Denali HERE.

VW’s new 2.0 Liter engine for 2018
The upcoming 2018 Tiguan will use an new 2.0 Liter engine. It is not replacing the current, more powerful 2.0 Liter found in the GLI and GTI. This new one seems to be an upgrade from the current 1.8 Liter Turbo. A 184HP 2.0 Liter. This new 2.0 would also find its way into the… Continue reading VW’s new 2.0 Liter engine for 2018

2018 Fiat 500L
Looks like it’s not dead yet. A car that most of us in the US forgot it even existed. I don’t ever see any advertising for this anywhere… They gave it a new front, details, revised dashboard etc… Which means it will be at least another couple of years before an all new one. The… Continue reading 2018 Fiat 500L

2018 Volvo XC-40
Here it it, the interior of the all new XC40 compact SUV. This will be competing next year with the Audi A3 and Mercedes GLA. As well as the X1 from BMW I guess. Sure this is still covered in camouflage, but it already looks pretty good I would say. A lot like it’s big… Continue reading 2018 Volvo XC-40

2018 Mazda CX-8
Just like the CX-4, we will not be getting the new CX-8. (Seems like Mazda won’t send us Even numbers models over here …) The CX-8 is a new 7 seater model for japan only. So far… There were rumors about it being a longer CX-5. Or a weird version of the CX-9. From the… Continue reading 2018 Mazda CX-8

2018 VW Polo
There is still a bit of camouflage around the lights. Front and rear. Otherwise, this gives us a really good idea of what the next Polo will be like. Previous generations have been huge sellers in Europe, but it has never been offered in the US. A few years ago, VW mentioned they would sell… Continue reading 2018 VW Polo

2018 Nissan Leaf teaser
This is the first official info from Nissan about the new Leaf.A headlight shot. Which actually looks quite interesting and futuristic.But the pictures we have already seen of the prototypes indicate something very similar to the current model. At least in the general shape.It seems like an extremely toned down version of the IDS concept from 2 years ago. At least… Continue reading 2018 Nissan Leaf teaser
