CT4 V against ATS V
It looks like the CT4 is actually not an all-new model. ( I flipped the ATS pic to match the CT4) At all. Proportions look exactly the same as the ATS. And more! Only the sheet metal is new. It seems they have actually used the same car. Glass area looks exactly the same. Why???… Continue reading CT4 V against ATS V

2020 Volvo S90
I guess it is time for the Volvo S90 to get a few mid-cycle changes. The 2020 model is on top. And all I can see is a new bumper and lower grille. The grille itself is a bit different but that might be a sporty trim. Otherwise, good to see nothing has been ruined…

2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 illustration
I usually don’t post C8 Corvette illustrations since there seems to be a new one every day. Showing the same thing over and over. But I think this one is interesting and quite different. For once, it doesn’t show any side window behind the door. (Which, if there are any, have so far always been… Continue reading 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 illustration

Cadillac CT4-V
In another weird move, Cadillac has also unveiled the V version of their all-new CT4 compact sedan. Before the actual CT4! I guess they wanted today to be a “V” day or something… As far as the design goes, I do like this CT4 better than the CT5. Still, I don’t really think it is such an… Continue reading Cadillac CT4-V

Cadillac CT-5 V
After driving a CTS-V for a whole week a little while ago, I, of course, became a huge fan of that car. This is why the announcement of the all-new V version of the CT-5 sedan is such a letdown. Not only because of the specs. Which are pretty terrible, for a “V”. The CTS… Continue reading Cadillac CT-5 V

2020 Lexus RX
It looks like Lexus is finally simplifying their designs a bit (just a tiny bit) The revised 2020 model is in the top picture. And although the changes are very subtle, they make that front end look a lot cleaner. Gone is that weirdo small triangular shape in the bumper. The grille seems a bit… Continue reading 2020 Lexus RX

2020 Kia Seltos Vs- 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer
The “squarish small SUV with a floating roof” club is now accepting new members. The Hyundai Venue is another one. But smaller. It looks like the new Chevrolet and Kia are about the same size. the front doors and windshield are actually almost the same. making them feel related although they are not. It will be… Continue reading 2020 Kia Seltos Vs- 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

2021 Buick Encore GX
While the new Trailblazer is most certainly replacing the Trax, this new Encore GX is NOT replacing the Encore. Which is weird. Buick says: “The Encore GX will be positioned between the smaller Encore and the larger Envision and Enclave models” The current Encore is old (It came out in 2012!) I actually think this… Continue reading 2021 Buick Encore GX

2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Quite a surprise today. I just didn’t expect it so early. It does look quite nice and very current. it reminds me a bit of the new Hyundai Venue. GM has not provided any official specs yet, but this is replacing the Trax. So I guess this will compete with the HR-V, CX-3 and the… Continue reading 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

1971 Lincoln Coupe Drive
My friend Chris bought an old Lincoln Coupe a few years ago. I finally got to take a short ride in it. What a weird time machine this is… Such an old fashion idea of luxury. The feeling of that huge hood in front of you. The only way you get this now is in… Continue reading 1971 Lincoln Coupe Drive

Audi E-Tron GT patent picture shows the same design as the concept.
Great to see that not everyone is teasing us with crazy concept cars that will never make it into production. While I understand the “concept” version of the Audi E-Tron GT was a slightly revised version of the actual production car, it is still good to see. (production car is on top) The gorgeous E-Tron… Continue reading Audi E-Tron GT patent picture shows the same design as the concept.

Current CR-V Vs. the next one
Yes, the shape will be very similar to the current one. (Just like the current one is actually very similar to the previous one…) it looks like it will follow Honda’s upcoming design trend of “simpler and fewer lines”. Which we saw on the current Insight. And will see on the next Fit.

2021 Honda CR-V
Looks like the new 2021 Honda CR-V won’t be too much of a design revolution. Of course. And why should it be? With over 379 000 of them sold last year, it is Honda’s most popular model in the US. (Next was the Civic with over 325 000) So this will be a very safe… Continue reading 2021 Honda CR-V

2020 BMW X1. (No-one is safe from that huge grille)
That’s right. It seems no BMW model is safe from the ugly/vulgar huge chrome grille. Not even the small X1 Crossover (This will really destroy the sportier X2…) They even added more chrome to the whole front end while they were at it (2020 one on top) Not that many changes for the rear .… Continue reading 2020 BMW X1. (No-one is safe from that huge grille)

Hyundai Kona test drive
The Hyundai Kona is a very nice looking small crossover. The only thing I am not crazy about would be the big grille (but I never like them), or the busy rear bumper black plastic part that includes the lights. (These lights could have been included in the ones right above…) Otherwise, it has a… Continue reading Hyundai Kona test drive

2020 BMW 1 series
The new 1 series looks a bit sportier than the previous one. It basically looks like a lower X1 now. With a few design cues from the current 3 series. (LIke that little chrome piece behind the side rear door window.) These cars are actually pretty invisible in European streets. Nothing, except, for us Americans,… Continue reading 2020 BMW 1 series

Cruising Instagram…
I saw a few things I never knew existed this week on Instagram. Like: – A wagon version of the amasing Aston Martin Lagonda. (probably a one off model) – A 1958 Michelotti design for a new BMW. – Early design probosal for the amazing Toyota Sera from 1990. – Designs for a coupe version… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

2020 Kia XCeed
I have mentioned the upcoming all-new Xceed model from Kia before. Since they also released a teaser picture. It looks like yet another really good looking Kia is around the corner. I have to say, while Honda and Toyota seem to release all new models “once in a while”, there seems to be a never-ending… Continue reading 2020 Kia XCeed

Upcoming 2020 Kia small Crossover interior teasers
While the exterior of the all-new Kia model will be very close to the SP Concept shown in India last year. It looks like the interior will be a bit different. (Production car in the two top photos) Mostly due to the smaller screen on the dash. And a different console. Still, it looks much more upscale and… Continue reading Upcoming 2020 Kia small Crossover interior teasers

Hyundai Kona test drive coming up…
I just got a new Hyundai Kona for a week. As usual, I will report on it soon. Until then you can ask me anything you’d like about it. So far, the 1.6 Liter is pretty punchy. On top of being very refined, smooth and quiet. The interior is fine and roomy (Although not as… Continue reading Hyundai Kona test drive coming up…

2020 Opel Corsa
Like most recent Opel designs, this is OK. Nothing amazing. The new Corsa was delayed quite a bit after Opel was bought by Peugeot from GM. It seems that it was almost ready when Peugeot decided the new model was going to be based on one of their upcoming platforms instead of the old GM stuff.… Continue reading 2020 Opel Corsa

2021 “Mustang Inspired” EV
This is still just an illustration. Nothing official( I think) But I actually like it. Sure, the idea of a four-door Mustang could be blasphemous to many. Add the fact it will be raised up and sold as a crossover and you could have a full on revolution. But I think this looks quite nice. Better… Continue reading 2021 “Mustang Inspired” EV

2020 Ford Taurus
The Ford Taurus is getting a new face. In China. The current Taurus generation has been sold over there since 2016. (While Ford had decided that all we needed here in the US was the old model.) Unlike the US version, the newer Chinese model is not being discontinued. Instead, it is being given a… Continue reading 2020 Ford Taurus

2020/21 Chevrolet Bolt Crossover/SUV
It looks like the upcoming new “Bolt based” small SUV/Crossover will look exactly like the picture we saw last year. Which is a good thing. A nice looking little crossover based on the Bolt should prove quite popular. I guess its only competition now would be the Hyundai Kona EV. This is based on the… Continue reading 2020/21 Chevrolet Bolt Crossover/SUV

2020 BMW 1 series
These pictures look like they were taken from the garage where the camouflage is being applied on prototypes. ( I bet BMW is not too happy about this. Unless they authorized it somehow) You can already tell the small 1 series hatchback will adopt the huge fake grille from the most recent BMW designs. Which looks… Continue reading 2020 BMW 1 series
