Honda HR-V Sport
How about an HR-V with 180 hp and a 6-speed manual? It will be available soon. In Europe. Where the CR-V can now be ordered with the 1.5 Liter Turbo from the Civic and CR-V. (A CVT is an option) The revised 2019 HR-V has just been released in the US. And no 1.5-liter turbo… Continue reading Honda HR-V Sport

Audi e-tron GT Concept
I just saw this in person a couple of hours ago, and all I can tell you is that it looks very impressive in person. A very sporty, modern looking sedan. Not a small car, since it is the same length as the A7 hatchback. Apparently, the range is around 250 miles. Which is just… Continue reading Audi e-tron GT Concept

2020 Hyundai Palisade
This is for those who like really obnoxious super chromy/busy grilles from non-luxury car makers. To me, that face alone means “no way”. Otherwise, the rest of the design is still quite messy. This is just way to busy looking. Inside, the console looks like the new Kona EV or the Exo fuel cell crossover. Which is… Continue reading 2020 Hyundai Palisade

2019 Toyota Prius
For the new year, Toyota made the Prius about 10% less weird. The front end is much cleaner. And the rear lights are not so bizarro anymore. Inside, the weird bathtub looking console seems to be gone (Although that might just be the color on the pic above) The main event for 2019 is the availability… Continue reading 2019 Toyota Prius

2020 Lincoln Aviator
The new Aviator proves that Lincoln was not just teasing us with their good looking concept last year. As the production model looks pretty much the same. It also kept the great interior. (Too bad for that tablet sticking out…) It will be powered by a 400HP Turbo 3.0 Liter V6 and a 10-speed auto.… Continue reading 2020 Lincoln Aviator

2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid
For the first time, we are getting a hybrid version of the Corolla in the US. Based on the new sedan. Pictured here in white with wheels that look like plastic covers, it doesn’t’ really look that great… Compared to the new Mazda3 sedan, this actually looks like quite a mess. It is powered by a… Continue reading 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid

2020 Mazda3
Once again, Mazda is showing us “how it’s done”. They have managed to design a classy, upscale looking small sedan with far fewer lines than almost everyone else. (Even a bit reminiscent of their previous Vision Coupe concept) And the new hatchback looks to be a complete original. And very close to last year’s great… Continue reading 2020 Mazda3

2020 Honda Passport
After a long time guessing, here is the real thing. I was hoping for a really modern and unique design for Honda’s new model. Instead, we just get a shorter Pilot (like many readers here had predicted) The similarities are very obvious in the profile of both cars. Sure, the Passport wants to look a… Continue reading 2020 Honda Passport

2020 Mazda 3 sedan
The white car is the all-new 2020 sedan version of the Mazda 3. Looking pretty slick, and simple. I am more interested in the hatchback version myself. The sedan actually doesn’t seem to stand out much from a crowd. A crowd where almost everything else is now decent looking. More on this very soon.

2020 Genesis G90
As I mentioned earlier, this thing is barely 2 years old. An all-new face is a weird decision after less than 2 years. Not at all what you need to sell your most expensive car. Now people who took a change on the all-new brand last year end up with an “old” model. I see… Continue reading 2020 Genesis G90

2019 Bentley Continental GT Convertible
No surprises here. Since a new Coupe came out last year, the convertible version is “as expected”. This is the best looking version of the Continental GT so far. Although that rear seat still doesn’t seem very roomy. And you would think they’d find a way to make the rear window a bit larger. (The rear… Continue reading 2019 Bentley Continental GT Convertible

2020 Kia Soul
Well… That looks a bit weird to me. The rear bumper with fake vents on the sides seems pretty heavy looking. And the rear lights are just getting quite strange this time around. And a bit too curvy for the rest of the car. It now has more of a Chinese design feel to it.… Continue reading 2020 Kia Soul

2019 Porsche 911
These are pretty crappy pictures. But they are the first ones of the all-new redesigned Porsche 911. Which, I think, looks pretty nice. Although looking about 99% as the current model. Which, I guess, is OK for the 911. Like it is OK for the Jeep Wrangler. It is one of these historical cars that… Continue reading 2019 Porsche 911

2020 Range Rover Evoque
I think range Rover did great with the all-new Evoque for 2020. They took the already great design and made it even more modern. The whole thing is also much cleaner. With far fewer lines and details. Which is great. it is basically a very similar shape, but now everything almost looks futuristic and simpler.… Continue reading 2020 Range Rover Evoque
-
2020 Genesis G90
It looks like the side of the car is the same as before. As expected. Still, a whole new front and rear, including new fenders, is quite a drastic change after just 2 years. Inside, things look pretty much the same. Except for vents and some switchgear on the console. Still strange…

GMC Acadia Denali test drive
I think the Acadia is one of the best looking 3 rows SUVs out there. Sure, the top of the line Denali version is a bit chromy for my taste. But other versions are a bit lighter on the shiny stuff. The shape is really nice. And it is a great size for such a roomy… Continue reading GMC Acadia Denali test drive

2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport
We saw the original concept almost a year ago (red car), and it is now obvious that VW is testing the real thing. The prototype still has quite a bit of camouflage. As the C-pillar and rear lights are still covered up. It also looks like the door handles on the prototype are positioned above… Continue reading 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport

2020 Kia Soul teasers
These new teasers reveal quite a bit about the all-new 2020 Kia Soul. And it looks like Kia has not messed with a good thing. As it still is obviously a Soul. Which is great. Since it is is one of the rare cars that still has one. Engines will be pretty similar to what… Continue reading 2020 Kia Soul teasers
-
2020 Ford Explorer
The new Explorer looks ready to go. As there is almost no camouflage left on these prototypes. We can see pretty much everything. And it does look quite nice. If not original. It basically looks like a sleeker, more modern version of the current design. Nothing too modern here. Engines should include all Turbo engines.… Continue reading 2020 Ford Explorer
-
2020 Genesis G90
This is actually pretty weird to me. It seems the car just came out. ( I guess a couple of years already) And they are drastically changing the whole front end of the car. And the rear end. Not just the lights. So it might not fit the “old” profile at all now. (This is… Continue reading 2020 Genesis G90

Honda HR-V electric?
Basically, yes. This is an all-electric version of the Honda HR-V for the Chinese market. Called the Everus VE-1, this is made in China by Honda and its local partner GAC. It has a 53,6 kWh battery. And a 210 miles range. I think this would be a great car for Honda in the US. Competing… Continue reading Honda HR-V electric?

-“Under-reported” (stole) $44 million over 5 years. -Arrested in Japan (His new prison suit will actually be green) – Faces 10 years in prison. I’d say things are not looking good for Carlos… (more HERE and HERE)

LeapMotor LP-S01
I don’t know why, but I find this little Chinese Leapmotor 01 pretty cute. It does remind me of the old Honda CRX. I guess it’s the small coupe hatchback thing. (It looks like a 2 seater but they seem to have squeezed 2 super small seats in the back) This time it is an EV,… Continue reading LeapMotor LP-S01

2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid
We all knew it was coming. So here it is. The Hybrid version of the cute Crosstrek uses a Toyota System from the Prius Prime. Which means only 17 miles of EV range. But average MPG jumps to 35, from 25 in the regular gas versions. It still uses the Subaru 2.0 Liter engine. And… Continue reading 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid

2020 Honda Fit
These are, of course, just illustrations. And I really hope the final product looks better. Sure, they do match the spy shots we have already seen of the car. Showing a much simpler design than the current model. But these illustrations show something quite boring and unoriginal. Unlike the really good looking previous generation Fit. I… Continue reading 2020 Honda Fit
