2020/21 Jaguar F-Type
While the jaguar F-Type is now 6 years old, I think it is still the best looking current Jaguar. After 6 years, we don’t get a new car. But a “facelift”. With an all new front and rear ends. Lights etc… Not sure about the interior yet. And I hear new engines are planned (Like… Continue reading 2020/21 Jaguar F-Type

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Video
Just something I shot a few days ago at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The car is very impressive in person. I think it does look good. And the interior is much more upscale than the Tesla Model 3. I hear the “first year only” First Edition version is already sold out. Which is good… Continue reading 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Video

2021 Kia Sorento
This is the first picture I have seen of the all new 2021 Sorento uncovered. Which, at least to me, looks like a cross between the new Ford Explorer and a Chinese SUV. So far at least… It seems very “chromy”, with a really big grille. Unlike the more modern and subtle look of the… Continue reading 2021 Kia Sorento

More pictures of the 2020 VW Golf
Fans of the Golf will love it. Since it looks like.. a Golf. One with a really nice a modern interior. Almost futuristic. (Looks like the new Golf is the only way to get an affordable VW with a modern interior these days…) Everywhere except the US that is. Since the new Golf will not… Continue reading More pictures of the 2020 VW Golf

2020 Geely Icon
I know it looks a bit weird. And has strange lines on the side. And a pretty busy interior. But somehow, I like it. I think this does have a cool modern personality. It is based on the BMA platform that accepts gas engines as well as Plug-in Hybrid powertrains. It is smaller than Volvo’s… Continue reading 2020 Geely Icon

More pictures of the 2020 VW Passat.
As I mentioned before, the more I see the 2020 Passat, the more I like it. I think VW did a good job updating the car. It is not all new but it actually looks more new than many “new” models from Audi or BMW. It has a classic look that actually last longer than… Continue reading More pictures of the 2020 VW Passat.

More pictures of the all new Kia Optima/K5
Again, this looks quite impressive for a “non-luxury” brand. Inside and out. The whole thing looks quite upscale. It looks like this is trying to be what the Telluride is to SUVs, in the sedan segment. Which is basically offer as much quality and content as more expensive luxury brands. This new Optima not only… Continue reading More pictures of the all new Kia Optima/K5

Auto Show notes: VW Atlas SportCross
I have to say, the new 5 seater version of the Atlas looks much better than the regular model. And since it is only a few inches shorter, there is tons of room inside. With a huge cargo area. But that interior is the same as the regular Atlas. The same interior that looked old… Continue reading Auto Show notes: VW Atlas SportCross

Auto Show notes: Which one is it???
We all know that all 4 Nissan sedans now look like pretty much the same car in different sizes. But look at this picture! No, they are NOT the same car. The one in the foreground is the new Versa. While the one behind is the all new Sentra. Really…

Auto Show notes: Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid trunk space
The top picture is the trunk of the new Hybrid version. As you can see, Subaru never intended for that platform to us all these batteries. And the trunk area is really compromised. Plus it costs over $35 000! For a tiny 17 miles of EV range… Not really sure who this is for in… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid trunk space

Auto Show notes: Porsche Taycan
I was disappointed to see that the rear design of the Porsche Taycan was trying too hard to look like a hatchback, without actually being one. It even uses the same “cheap”trick” as the all new Kia Optima. Where the part under the rear window is actually the top part of the truck, covered in… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Porsche Taycan

Another Cybertruck ?
There has been a lot of talk lately about the new Tesla Cybertruck. I am still not 100% of what to think of it myself. Which, I guess, is good. How often do we see such a weird design that actually takes us a while to digest. I do applaud the weirdness and compete new… Continue reading Another Cybertruck ?

New Hyundai LaFesta EV
The Lafesta is a Hyundai sedan that has been on sale in China for a while. It is sized in between the Sonata and Elantra. For 2020, Hyundai is introducing a pure electric version. With a 306 miles range. Which could be pretty impressive. (Even if the number would be a bit power in the… Continue reading New Hyundai LaFesta EV

Auto Show notes: Mini Cooper Electric
The electric version of the Mini Cooper does not get an all new interior. And it’s fine. The little oval screen behind the wheel looks great. And the cloth on the seats looks fantastic. So glad to see great looking seats without leather. Or “Leatherette” (Vinyl) I say bring back cloth! But no one on… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Mini Cooper Electric

Auto Show notes: Karma Revero
I sat in the “old” Fisker version of the Karma a few times before. And, even though the car was gorgeous, the interior quality was always a bit disappointing. It did have a home made kit car feel to it… Even though the new Revero looks very similar, inside and out. Things are very different.… Continue reading Auto Show notes: Karma Revero

2021 Nissan Sentra
I was also pleasantly surprised by the all new Nissan Sentra. Sure, the one on the floor of the auto show was a loaded model with probably every option available. But it was a very nice looking car, inside and out. The interior design is quite interesting (Even if they didn’t integrate the screen…) The… Continue reading 2021 Nissan Sentra

More on the Tesla Cybertruck
This has to be the weirdest automotive design I have seen in many years. Also a gutsy gamble. At least visually. It is still hard to see if this is really close to the production model to not. Since it’s impossible to see any bumpers or rear view mirrors. Is the LED line up front… Continue reading More on the Tesla Cybertruck

All new Tesla Cybertruck reveal! (Finally)
It’s actually hard to digest right this minute…. The presentation is on going. Elon Musk seems either drunk or high. The Tesla truck looks so weird it makes you wonder if there is even a market for something like it. Some guy hit it with a sledge hammer to show how strong the new alloy… Continue reading All new Tesla Cybertruck reveal! (Finally)

2021 Kia Seltos: a little bit disappointing…
I have to say that while I was pleasantly surprised by the Chevrolet Trailblazer, the new Kia Seltos was a bit disappointing. Maybe just due to the fact that I was expecting much more (and much less from the Trailblazer…) The front end of a car is quite a busy mess. Just too much. Too… Continue reading 2021 Kia Seltos: a little bit disappointing…

More pictures of the new Chevrolet Menlo EV
While the US has not been getting a new EV model from GM since 2016, China is getting yet another one. It is based on the Bolt (not the all new EV platform designed for the US market). But seems longer and roomier. The shape is more like a wagon. The interior is OK. But… Continue reading More pictures of the new Chevrolet Menlo EV

2021 Kia Optima Interior
These are the first clear pictures we are getting of the all new redesigned Kia Optima for 2021. So far, it does look like quite an upscale interior. I do like the way they use the wood on the dash. And they did make an effort trying to integrate the screen. Which now has an… Continue reading 2021 Kia Optima Interior

2021 Genesis GV80 interior
We have seen bits of it before. And it is still looking good. Too bad the screen isn’t integrated into the dash a bit better. But at least, it is not sticking out as bad as in so many other cars. This feels a bit more like what Mazda has been going. The console itself… Continue reading 2021 Genesis GV80 interior

2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer: what a nice surprise!
In my opinion, the new Trailbazer was one of the nicest surprise of the show. We had seen official pictures of the RS version before. But in person, it does have quite a charming personality. Especially, the Activ trim with its contrasting white roof. the design, inside and out, is pretty clean and simple. Much,… Continue reading 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer: what a nice surprise!

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E interior
I got the opportunity to sit in the all new Ford Mustang Mach-E yesterday, and was pretty impressed. As I think it is a much more upscale interior than the Tesla Model 3 and Y. In the Tesla, you have the feeling that the cool futuristic design is basically limited to the dashboard. The rest… Continue reading 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E interior

All new VW Viloran Minivan
Of course, it looks nothing like the super exaggerated teaser illustration VW had released earlier…(HERE) Still, this seems pretty decent for a minivan design. If nothing new. The US minivan market isn’t as healthy as it used to be, so the new Viloran will probably stay in China, as currently planned.
