Cadillac ATS-V?
Seems that now, Cadillac does offer a new “Vsport” model in the 2014 XTS and the new CTS. Which is not a proper “V” model, since it doesn’t come with a V8, but the new V6 turbo instead. So this picture might be an ATS Vsport. Who knows. I am actually not sure why they… Continue reading Cadillac ATS-V?

Cadillac ATS Coupe?
Who knows. It could just be one of many studies they did. But the upcoming ATS Coupe will be the only non electric 2 door model from Cadillac for a while. As there will be no new version of the CTS Coupe, which is too bad.

2014/15 Nissan Versa?
This is what the Versa will look like for the next year. In China, where they call it Sunny. Not sure if the new face will come over to the US or not. But it’s not really an improvement…

2015 Toyota Prius
A new Prius is on its way. Sometime next year. And his illustration looks pretty realistic. Toyota won’t come up with anything too different from the super popular current design. Expect better mileage, more power etc… You know, the usual…

2014 BMW i3 interior
What a blend of retro and futuristic. I never expected so much style from BMW. But there it is. The future is today…

BMW i3 Video
Looking good to me. Finally, something futuristic from BMW. I think it’s a really goos idea. And so far, priced right.

Unsafe cars in Latin America
Most cars sold by Nissan, Renault, GM etc… sold in latin America countries are actually based on older 90’s models. Like the local Nissan Tsuru, which is based on a Sentra from a few generations ago. These cars are also sold without airbags. Although from these crash test videos, it looks like airbags wouldn’t be… Continue reading Unsafe cars in Latin America

Mini Vision Concept: Not the next Mini
Not even close. From what we’ve seen in the spy shots published around the web just a few weeks ago, the next Mini is quite different. The rear lights, rear hatch/bumper, hidden C-pillar, front grille and bumper etc… All these concept elements are not in the production car. As for the interior, it is 100%… Continue reading Mini Vision Concept: Not the next Mini

Great news for the 2014 Chevrolet Impala
It got excellent scores in recent crash tests. And an amazing review from Consumer Report. Sure, I ofter don’t agree with them. And car site readers love to hate Consumer Report… But in this case, I do agree. The new Impala IS an excellent car.

Mystery car
Something else I cannot figure out. (Besides how to get back on Burlappcars.com…) This looks to be taken in the US. Looks like an SUV, but quite sporty and low. Any ideas???

Not all Hondas have to be ugly: Honda Jade
This is almost weird. A Honda designed for the Chinese market, that looks pretty good. And it really looks like it would make a great Civic Wagon over here! After the Chinese looking 2014 Fit, this is quite a surprise. I remember back when the Civic used to come in many interesting flavors. Hatchback, wagon,… Continue reading Not all Hondas have to be ugly: Honda Jade

2014 Toyota Harrier.
Toyota is getting the Harrier back. In Japan only. The Harrier used to be sold in the US as the Lexus RX. But the RX became a Lexus only product for the 3rd and current generation. So the Harrier disappeared in 2009. From these pictures, it looks like Toyota has decided to come up with… Continue reading 2014 Toyota Harrier.

2014 VW Taigun
These are patent designs from the production version of VW’s upcoming Up! based crossover. Apparently, VW has decided this would be too small for us, so the US won’t get it. Instead, we are getting a new model, larger but still smaller than the Tiguan, based on the next Polo. Here is the concept we… Continue reading 2014 VW Taigun

Upcoming Compact Hyundai/Kia SUV?
Just another pic of the sub Santa Fe SUV. Still, from the roofline, it looks more like a Kia than a Hyundai to me.

Chevrolet Impala 2.5 Liter Test Drive
The new Impala is a great looking car in person. For some reason, many pictures do not reflect how good looking this car is in real life. It is quite large, and isn’t trying to look any smaller. The 19-inch wheels on my test car looked great (Part of a $1140 Premium audio & Sport… Continue reading Chevrolet Impala 2.5 Liter Test Drive

2014 Mazda 3 Pricing
The all new Mazda 3 will start at $16 945. Or just about $250 more than the current model. Which is a great price, considering the new car is, well… Better. Plus the base price comes with more standard features like remote keyless system, push button start and an USB plug. All models offer standard… Continue reading 2014 Mazda 3 Pricing

2014 BMW i3
This is it. The real thing. Not the concept. BMW had just announced US pricing which will start at $42 000. Which means about $32 000 after incentives (at least in California) Which isn’t bad at all. Figure at least $2000 extra for the small range extender engine, which I think is well worth it.… Continue reading 2014 BMW i3

New Cadillac logo coming up?
Apparently, Cadillac is thinking about a new logo. Not a bad idea, since their cars are new really modern looking. That logo is getting very old fashion. They are actually thinking about getting rid of the laurel wraiths. What do you think? Which one of these should inspire the new one? And… How a bout… Continue reading New Cadillac logo coming up?

Seat Leon ST
For some reason, ST stands for “wagon”. The new Leon hatchback is already a good looking car. Like a better looking Golf. And the wagon version is like a better looking Golf Wagon. The car we know here as the Jetta Sportwagen. (Which should be replaced soon by the new version of the Euro Golf… Continue reading Seat Leon ST

2014 Kia Sportage
Another case of “Why bother”. Really… Why spend money in such little changes. The current Sportage is a good looking car. And a nice driving one too. At least they didn’t ruin anything….

Chinese Chan-gan CS75 SUV
Some new Chinese SUV is coming out soon. From Chan-gan. A brand I have never heard of… I think it looks pretty nice, at least on this spy shot. Actually better than many recent japanese designs. Even though it is said to be quite large, power will come from small 1.8 and 2.0 Liter engines.… Continue reading Chinese Chan-gan CS75 SUV

2014 Chevrolet Impala test drive coming up
I am driving the new Impala this week. The one with the smaller 2.5 Liter engine. So far, a pleasure to drive.

Chevrolet’s bowtie logo turns 100
All I have to say is that it is time for the bowtie to turn silver again. Forget the cheesy gold! Silver for everything, and blue for electric cars. From this picture it looks like it turned gold in 1982. We are in 2013, it’s time to get rid of gold.

2014 Honda Fit
Looks like Honda ruined this one too. The Fit was one of Honda’s last good looking design. Now it looks like a Chinese version of the previous generation. The blue car is the Hybrid version, which, apparently we won’t be getting in the US for some reason. (who is the genius who decided that?) The… Continue reading 2014 Honda Fit

2015 Alfa Romeo 6C ?
This looks like it could be a prototype for Alfa’s upcoming large sedan. Which is rumored to be called 6C. And based on the new Maserati Ghibli platform. This is not the car replacing the mid sized Alfa 159. That car will compete with models like the Audi A4. And would share its platform with… Continue reading 2015 Alfa Romeo 6C ?
