2019 Kia K900
It is really too bad Kia chose to show the car in just white for the official pictures. I am sure it’s not the best way, at all, to show off their new flagship… Otherwise, the new car does look pretty imposing. And super luxurious inside. It is powered by a 3.3 Liter V6 Turbo… Continue reading 2019 Kia K900

Things we almost forgot: the Lexus LX
This has to be the ugliest luxury SUV around. It makes any of its competition look like a movie star. Still, over 6000 people bought one last year. Actually up from the previous year and the one before!(which is kind of mind boggling) Nothing next to the 23 000 units of the Cadillac Escalade. And… Continue reading Things we almost forgot: the Lexus LX

2019 Acura RDX video
The new Acura RDX is looking really good on the road. To me this is something that competes more with a Mercedes GLC, BMW X3 or Cadillac XT5. As is is larger than the new XT4 or Volvo XC40. It will all depend on pricing. The current model starts at $36 000. Which is just… Continue reading 2019 Acura RDX video

Lincoln Aviator concept Video
It has been getting very positive comments on this site. (And others) So here it is in motion. Inside and out. Personally, I still don’t thing that grille goes with anything. And the interior seems nice, but actually rather uninspired. A very flat dash with a screen on top. which almost looks after market. Nothing… Continue reading Lincoln Aviator concept Video

A few more pictures of the all new 2019 Subaru Forester
The boring design is one thing. But that chromy vulgar face is really something else. On the other hand, the interior is quite decent. With a really big sunroof. And the rear seat does fold flat. Otherwise. Why???

Yes, even more pictures of the new Jeep Grand Commander.
Just a few more pictures of “the one everybody loves to hate”: The new Jeep Grand Commander for China.

2019 Ford Focus interior
I thought there might have been a chance to see the new Focus at the New York auto show. But no. Ford is keeping it for later. (Not sure when) Meanwhile, here are a couple of shots of the interior. Still a bit camouflaged. Looking OK. Nothing really stands out (Except the stupid tablet screen)… Continue reading 2019 Ford Focus interior

2019 Hyundai Tucson
Hyundai did not ruin the Tucson design with the mid-cycle refresh. But it really does not look better either. (The 2019 model is the white one) The new front end looks less aggressive and even a little bit older. They did a good job inside. making the interior look newer than it is. By mostly… Continue reading 2019 Hyundai Tucson

2019 Subaru Forester
I am still not a fan of this, at all. Sure, it does have a bit more style than the previous one. But that face looks pretty terrible to me…. It comes standard will AWD, CVT and a 2.5 Liter with 182HP.

2019 Acura RDX
The RDX has been a good seller for Acura. And I am sure this much better looking 2019 model will do even better. It will also be available in the sportier A-Spec version pictured above. Which has larger wheels and blacked out trim. All versions are powered by a 2.0 Liter Turbo with 10 speed… Continue reading 2019 Acura RDX

2019 Nissan Altima
Another really nice looking mid sized sedan. This is a very nice update on the current design. Except now it looks even more like the Maxima. (The Maxima should really become a larger hatchback/4 door coupe thing. With an EV powertrain) The interior is also quite nice, but it doesn’t seem as upscale as the… Continue reading 2019 Nissan Altima

2019 Toyota Rav-4
This is a huge deal for Toyota, since the new Rav-4 has the potential to be the best selling car in the country. (Which they predicted years ago) The current one already sold more than the Camry last year with over 407 000! As I mentioned before, this new design is quite a gamble. But… Continue reading 2019 Toyota Rav-4

Lincoln Aviator Concept
This looks quite nice. (Although I still refuse to like that rille…) The Aviator will be Lincoln’s version of the new Ford Explorer. But just like the Navigator, the Lincoln has its own front end and interior. That interior is also a step up from the Continental. It seems there are less shiny bits and… Continue reading Lincoln Aviator Concept

VW Tanoak pick up concept
Another really nice surprise from VW! A great looking mid-sizes pick up. This should be a no-brainer for the US. After Ford unveiled the new Ranger. The Colorado is pretty popular. This would also be great competition to the Honda Ridgeline. But…. VW has already mentioned they have “no production plans” for the Tanoak. Which,… Continue reading VW Tanoak pick up concept

VW interiors: Atlas Vs. Atlas Cross Sport concept
Let’s just hope that by the time the Cross Sport comes out, the Atlas will be on schedule for one of these “mid-cycle refresh”. And that VW uses the concept interior for both models. That poor Atlas interior looked old when it came out….

2019 Toyota Corolla interior
Although I am still not a fan of that tablet look, I think this 2 tone version of the new Corolla interior looks rather nice. What do you think?

New Chinese VW Lavida Vs. US VW Jetta
The Lavida is another “Golf with a trunk” type sedan that has been sold in China for many years. So basically, a Chinese Jetta. With its own design. At first, this new 3rd generation looked exactly like the new Jetta to me. But upon closer inspection, you can tell it is actually still different. (Way… Continue reading New Chinese VW Lavida Vs. US VW Jetta

2019 Subaru Forester
This is just plain ugly. And offensive. Sure, not as weird/crazy looking as the Lexus UX. But this is actually really bad. That grille looks like a Chinese car from a few years ago. Bits, lines, details, fake vents everywhere. It is just so busy and uncoordinated. Like 30 designers worked on it and never… Continue reading 2019 Subaru Forester

Something new from Mazda???
Apparently, Mazda is showing something at the New York Auto Show. But what??? A revised CX-9? A revised CX-3? The CX-4? The new Mazda3? No… The car in the teaser is this. Not a Mazda SUV. (These usually have black plastic trim around the wheel openings) This car! The gorgeous Mazda 6 wagon. The one… Continue reading Something new from Mazda???

2019 Cadillac XT4
Finally we see the real thing! And I think it looks really good. Enough to instantly become Cadillac’s best selling model. The only problem is that I think it looks better than the XT5. Inside and out. At 181 inches long, it is about 9 inches shorter than the XT5. The XT4 will start at… Continue reading 2019 Cadillac XT4
-
VW Atlas Cross Sport Concept
What a wonderful surprise this is. Not at all like the lame yellow thing I posted earlier. This is truly a very attractive design. Unfortunately, it is still labeled as a “Concept”. So who know what will stay on the production model. While I am sure the LED grille will go, they really need to… Continue reading VW Atlas Cross Sport Concept

VW Atlas Coupe
While VW continues to tease us with these exaggerated illustrations of an upcoming Atlas “coupe”, they have shown a new model in China that could be the real thing. (I mentioned this a few days ago. But these are newer pix.) Of course, this is not a coupe. But a 5 seater, shorter version of… Continue reading VW Atlas Coupe

Getting ready: 2019 Cadillac CT6 V-Sport
The revised CT6 is waiting in New York for its official close up. Pictured here is the new V8 “V-Sport” version. With blacked out window trim.

All new 2019 Toyota Rav-4 teaser
You can watch these few precious seconds HERE. The quick new teaser shows how close the new Rav-4 is to the FT-AC concept we saw last year. Toyota is, for the first time, trying a totally new design direction for their best selling model. Which might be quite a gamble. And, I think a gutsy… Continue reading All new 2019 Toyota Rav-4 teaser

2019 Hyundai Tucson
The current Tucson is still one of the best looking compact SUVs out there. (red one) And got many good reviews when it came out. I just hope Hyundai will not ruin its design. That whole front end will be new. And resemble more the new Kona. Inside, it is rather puzzling. It looks like… Continue reading 2019 Hyundai Tucson
