Nissan Versa Note test drive coming up.
I’ve just been told I will be driving a 2014 Versa Note next week. I’ve been pretty curious about that car. As the Versa sedan is, to me, one of the ugliest car around, I do like the Note. I think it is much better looking than the upcoming redesigned Honda Fit. Which would be… Continue reading Nissan Versa Note test drive coming up.

2015 Volvo S80?
This was shown during a design presentation, linked to the Concept Coupe reveal. Designers were explaining how design elements of the concept would end up in production models. What we see in this picture is obviously the rear door of a sedan. Since the S80 is next in line (after the XC90)…

2014 Volvo XC90
So far just a couple of teaser shots from Volvo. Looking more angular, just like the next Audi Q7. It has the T shaped LEDs from the coupe concept too. But let’s hope that the whole grille doesn’t actually lit up in real life. This is way too much LEDs . It seems kind of… Continue reading 2014 Volvo XC90

36 mph HWY for the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu
And 25 City. An improvement compared to last year’s 22/34 figures. These are really good numbers for a mid sized car. I reviewed the Turbo version last year and thought it was a great driving car. I also experienced the 2.5 Liter in the Impala recently and thought it was super smooth, refined and quiet.… Continue reading 36 mph HWY for the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu

New Kia Koup
I test drove the curent model a couple of years ago, and thought it was a good car. With a very nice design. This new one just looks like a melted version of the previous one. Not a really original design at all. It seems that Kia/Hyundai isn’t putting any efforts into designing coupe versions… Continue reading New Kia Koup

Even more pictures of the volvo Concept Coupe
These are really good shots, making the car look great. Still, I don’t think it is that original… Here is the one we saw last week, trying to guess what it was. Now with official logos.

Volvo Concept Coupe
A lot of really nice looking things here. Yet, for some reason, it comes off as a bit generic. At least to me. It does reminds me of the old P1800 in the 3/4 rear shot, which is great. But it seems the design tries very hard to be futuristic and retro at the same… Continue reading Volvo Concept Coupe

More pix of the Ford S-Max Concept
Looking really good. If Ford won’t sell it in the US, maybe this should come over as a Lincoln? Why not.
-
Ford S-Max Concept
The current Euro Van S-Max came out in 2006. So a replacement is coming out soon. This “concept” is pretty much the next -Max. No surprises. Just take an old S-Max, a new Fiesta, mix things up and there you go: The new S-Max. Just like the old one, it is not scheduled for the… Continue reading Ford S-Max Concept

Geely to sell cars in the US by 2016.
More claims of Chinese cars coming over here. This time from Geely. Volvo’s Chinese owner. They now plan to export cars developed with Volvo. Which probably means they will use Volvo designed platforms for their future cars. The opposite of what they said a few years ago when they wanted to keep the two brands… Continue reading Geely to sell cars in the US by 2016.

Infiniti Q30 Concept
This is still a concept. I guess the second on the same idea of a small Infiniti luxury hatchback. This time let’s hope it is close to the production car. As it looks pretty nice the way it is now. It is also supposed to share its platform with the Mercedes A class. So it… Continue reading Infiniti Q30 Concept

Long wheelbase Nissan Altima coming up
In China only. Where it seems that about every sedan gets a long wheelbase version. The Altima is actually called the Teana over there. Which used to be the name for a local version of the Maxima. The most interesting thing is the glass roof we see on the picture. Which would be a nice… Continue reading Long wheelbase Nissan Altima coming up
-
Volvo Concept C
Looking good already from these teaser images. Although Volvo has shown us some really nice looking concepts over the past few years. None of them became a production model (yet). So we’ll have to wait and see for what could be a replacement for the C70 model. We can safely say that the “Mystery car”… Continue reading Volvo Concept C

Volvo S40 coming to the US?
A few Volvo execs are supposelly pushing the brand to sell their new small S40 in the US. Same people who are responsible for bringing us the V60 wagon next year. “The V40 is a great small vehicle, and we would love to have it here”. Says Mr. Tassos Panas from Volvo US. Sure. So… Continue reading Volvo S40 coming to the US?

2015 Nissan Maxima?
Just got this picture from a reader. All I know is that it was taken in Death Valley. And it is really, really covered up. So it could almost be anything. But I does resemble the picture we’ve seen before of the upcoming concept. This could be quite a slick looking sedan.

BMW 2 series
The new 2 series will replace the 1 series coupe and convertible next year. It is based on the 2nd generation 1 series. So just like the 4 series is just a new name for the 3 series coupe, the 2 is the coupe version of the 1. These are still just illustrations, but it’s… Continue reading BMW 2 series

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser: Even worse than the Lexus GX
Just when you thought the new grille on the revised 2014 GX was bad. This comes out. The Toyota version. (Sold overseas as the land Cruiser). This has to be the worse, most offensive, vulgar looking front end ever designed. As for the interior. It is pretty much the same as the Lexus, minus the… Continue reading 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser: Even worse than the Lexus GX

2014 Kia Soul with “SUV Styling Pack”.
The new SUV Styling pack is an option for the 2014 Kia Soul. In Europe only… It does make the Soul design rather busy, but somehow, I think it works. At least it kind of fit the corky personality of the Soul. I think it should at least be an option over here too. Why… Continue reading 2014 Kia Soul with “SUV Styling Pack”.

2014 Audi Q7
After all these years, an all new, much lighter, Q7 is on its way. Audi seems to go towards a more squared off look for its upcoming models. The current designs, like the A3, are kind of half way there. The newQ7 original design was reworked as it was reportedly considered to blunt. Looks like… Continue reading 2014 Audi Q7

Mystery Car.
This picture has been around all day, in various sites. Yet no one seems to know what it is. It looks like it came from a Tweet by Wallpaper Magazine. Yet there is nothing on their site about the picture or the car. The lack of any logo seems weird. Like they have been photoshopped… Continue reading Mystery Car.

2014 Lexus GX
No surprises. It is now the GX’s turn to get the new Lexus front end. I guess that means the aging trucky SUV will be around for another coupe of years or so. Although Lexus is planning an all new 7 seater Crossover for next year. Similar to the Pathfinder based Infiniti QX60. The lower… Continue reading 2014 Lexus GX

2014 Chevrolet Camaro
Nothing new here. I just didn’t realize these were already out. Not sure the changes improve anything…
-
No V8 for the Cadillac ATS-V
Which is not a big surprise really. Since everyone seems to move away from V8s these days. Especially in a car as small as the ATS. And with over 420hp, the new V6 turbo (Also used in the XTS and 2014 CTS) has plenty of power.

Nisan Rogue Teaser
1st official pic. Which is really no surprise. Since it’s been testing for every, and it will pretty much look the same as the Hi Cross concept from last year. As a reminder, this is the Hi Cross concept. From the spy shots I’ve seen of the next Rogue, even the interior is almost the… Continue reading Nisan Rogue Teaser

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
GM finally released official pictured of the revised 2014 Camaro convertible. Nothing unexpected since we’ve seen the new front end on the coupe a few months ago. Different isn’t always better. I really don’t think the new front in an improvement. And the rear lights (Not really seen here) make the car much more generic… Continue reading 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
