2013 Buick Enclave
After the GMC Acadia, it’s up to the Buick version to get some changes.Not an all new car of course, but we can expect a new interior as well as redesign front and rear ends. Looks like an already good car is getting better….

Jaguar XF Sportbrake
Here are the first official pictures.Although the black plastic panels around the c pillars do look 100 times better than on the XJ, it seems they might still seem cheap in the flesh.We’ll see.It looks like it is a design feature they fell in live with and couldn’t wait to implement on other models.Not sure… Continue reading Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Now we get to see a slightly revised front end as well.While the new front will make it on our version as well, don’t count on ever seeing the wagon in the US.Just like the Ford Focus wagon, this one… Continue reading Chevrolet Cruze Wagon

Volvo V40
First official pictures of the new compact Volvo.And it does look great. Already much better than the BMW 1 or the upcoming Audi A3.A 2 door version is supposed to be coming next, and maybe a sedan as well. Engines will range from 1.6 to 2.0 Liter in size. So much smaller than the 2.5… Continue reading Volvo V40

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake
We finally see the real thing, and it turns out to look more original that I thought.The blacked out rear pillars look nice on a hatchback. Much better than on the larger XJ sedan, where they do not belong. Unfortunately, this isn’t for the US. Unless they change their mind later….

2013 Dodge Dart caught testing in Los Angeles
Why?Still testing? It is going on sale soon, you can even price one online already. (It almost tops $30 000 with all the options!) I am just wondering if they might just be testing their new upcoming 9 speed Auto from ZF.Which is supposed to be available in 2013.Or maybe… Some hybrid version? Why not.… Continue reading 2013 Dodge Dart caught testing in Los Angeles

2013 Mercedes A Class
This is rumored to be official.Although it still looks like an illustration to me. Real or not, it’s pretty much what we’ve been seeing for a while now. Not much of a surprise anymore. More, many more pictures of the real thing in just a few days.

Range Rover Evoque convertible
That’s quite a surprise. I had no idea this was coming up. I do like the new Evoque a lot, but this, somehow, looks a lot cheaper.Not sure why.It does look 100 times better than the weird Murano convertible. And might not be that much more expensive. The topless Murano starts at about $45 000.… Continue reading Range Rover Evoque convertible

2013 Mercedes A Class
Just a little teaser before we finally see the whole thing in just a few days. It seems we have seen the exterior many times already, so this is a little more original.And for the 1st time, coming to the US.

Hyundai i30 Wagon
The Euro i30 hatchback will soon be available as a wagon.It is about 7.5 inches longer than the regular hatchback version.As you know, the i30 will be available here as the Elantra GT, so I am sure plenty of people will be thinking about this wagon coming over to the US.I just don’t think it… Continue reading Hyundai i30 Wagon

Another picture of the new Lexus ES for 2013
Just thought I’d share.A bit more details. Let’s hope the official pics are better, much better.

2013 Audi A3
Following the old Audi recipe of “let’s make the new one look like the old one”. I am sure the differences are more obvious in the flesh. Or with other colors where the new chrome window surround could add a more upscale touch.Still. No surprises here. At all. A nice looking car with no style.… Continue reading 2013 Audi A3

All new Volvo V40
These are, finally, the first official pictures of the new Volvo V40.And it does look really good.Already so much more modern than what we can expect from Audi with the new A3. Engines will range from 1.6 to 2.0 Liter in size.No info on US availability yet. And look at that giant glass roof panel.

2013 Lexus ES
Many people love to hate the ES.Maybe because it is still based on the Camry, or maybe it is targeted to an older demographic.The truth is, the ES has always been a strong seller for Lexus.And it looks like they are using the same recipe for the next one. Camry based, soft lines. It does… Continue reading 2013 Lexus ES

Ford Tourneo Custom Concept
This would usually be of no interest to me.Some Euro delivery Van gets a redesign.It this case, the next version of the popular Ford Transit. But there has been rumors about the next Euro transit and our Econoline merging soon.So this could very well end up being sold here as a replacement for the aging… Continue reading Ford Tourneo Custom Concept
