Ford Fusion test Drive
I had the chance to finally drive the Ford Fusion a few days ago. Different versions of it actually. In person, it is as good looking as in pictures. This is easily one of the best looking sedan around, at any price. The fact that it is affordable is even better. It does prove that… Continue reading Ford Fusion test Drive

Cadillac ELR
There is no doubt the new Cadillac ELR looks fantastic. From any angle, in any color. And after sitting in one, I can say the interior is as great as the exterior. BUT…. Just like the Chevrolet Volt, it doesn’t offer a sunroof. They also got rid of the hatchback. So even though it looks… Continue reading Cadillac ELR

Saab to restart production on Monday!
Yes they are. New owner NEVS will actually resume production of the 9-3 sedan next week. It will be sold in Europe and Chine. As you can see, it has a few small changes outside from the last time we saw a new 9-3, which was 2 1/2 years ago. They are also considering production… Continue reading Saab to restart production on Monday!

2015 Hyundai Genesis interior
Seems really nice, so far. What came out as boring in early grainy pictures seems more “understated” now. They just didn’t go for a flashy look. Which is nice. This could turn out to be quite a classy car in real life.

L.A Auto Show: A few small notes.
From some angles, the all new Lincoln MKC looks a lot like the Audi Q5 it will compete with. Which is not a bad thing, I think. The Lincoln will start at about $2000 less for the AWD model. But the Lincoln is available as FWD for $34 000. Or about $4000 than the base… Continue reading L.A Auto Show: A few small notes.

Next Nissan Cube?
At firs tit might look like the small NV200 van. But I drove one recently (review coming up) and it is not it. The only thing it could be is the next Cube. I’ve heard that Nissan might not bring the next version of the Cube over to the US. Even though sales were down… Continue reading Next Nissan Cube?

2015 Honda Fit Sedan/City
Just some pictures from the launch in India. Again, this is, for the 1st time, coming to the US. Where it will compete with the Versa sedan. It already seems a much, much nicer car than the Nissan. I think this will actually also hurt the Civic. At least the low end models of the… Continue reading 2015 Honda Fit Sedan/City

2015 Hyundai Genesis
We have seen it before, but these are official pictures of the all new Genesis. Looking much better than the 1st generation. Engines are similar, with both the 3.8 Liter V6 and 5.0 Liter V8 still being offered. Both with an 8 speed auto. They say everything is “real” inside. Real wood, real aluminum trim… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai Genesis

More pictures of the new Honda Civic Tourer
This modern looking wagon is based on the Euro Civic Hatchback. So this is not for us. Which is too bad. You would think maybe Acura could use something that stands out in a crowd…

Volvo S60 L
This long version of the good looking S60 is for China only. Adding over 3 inches to the wheelbase doesn’t make the car look weird at all. But it looks like it makes quite a difference inside. It has now a slightly longer wheelbase than the S80. While looking much more modern.

2015 Honda Fit Sedan
There was always a sedan version of the Fit. Called the City in most markets. We just never got it here in the US. Things will change next year when the sedan version of the new Fit will join the hatchback in the US. For the 1st time, we will be getting a smaller Honda… Continue reading 2015 Honda Fit Sedan

Next Toyota Camry mule?
This was taken in the Los Angeles area. It looks like a mule for a “longer than Corolla” sedan. Which would mostly be the Camry. Although the next Camry isn’t due before 2016 at least. Unless they decided they need an early redesign to better compete? What do you think?

BMW i3 Quick drive video.
Shot very quickly, with my phone. So the quality isn’t great. But it does give you an idea. Just thought I would share…

BMW i3 Quick drive
I had a change to drive BMW’s futuristic i3 as part of a media event a few days ago. And very much looking forward to experience the “BMW of electric cars”. By now, we have all seen pictures of the i3. In person, it stands pretty tall. And the whole thing looks really futuristic. Like… Continue reading BMW i3 Quick drive

Fiat Ottimo/Viaggio hatch
This is basically a Dodge Dart hatchback. Looking good too. This Fiat version is, so far, for China only. You would think that with the success of cars like the Mazda 3 or the Focus, Dodge would sell this over here. The Dart needs some help.

L.A Auto Show: Battle of the doors. CLA vs A3
There will be plenty of competition next year between these 2 small german sedan: The Mercedes CLS and Audi A3. I sat in both of them today. -None of them are very roomy. Both of them have very limited legroom in the back. -The Audi does look more conservative. Like more muscular version of the… Continue reading L.A Auto Show: Battle of the doors. CLA vs A3

L.A Auto Show: 2014 VW Passat Sport
Actually not a bad looking car. The best part is the new interior trim. Which is much better than the super cheap looking fake metal from the base models. And also much nicer than the fake looking wood trim on the SEL. This should be standard.
-
L.A Auto Show: 2014 Toyota Corolla.
Yes, I just have that one picture of the all new Corolla. To me, it sums up the whole thing. The car feels really cheap inside. The doors sound tiny. And look at that door panel. Hard and cheap looking plastics all over. Not even put together great. And the switches literally look like they… Continue reading L.A Auto Show: 2014 Toyota Corolla.

L.A Auto Show: 2014 Hyundai Elantra
Among the few changes to Elantra for the new years are really nice looking rear lights. And, just a nice chrome line at the bottom of the windows. Just little details that make a good looking car even better. Good job.

L.A Auto Show: Kia K900
I have to say I was very impressed by the big Kia in person. It does look and feel like an expensive car. (even though I am not sure that the black and white interior of the car at the show was the best choice to showcase the car) I don’t see it as a… Continue reading L.A Auto Show: Kia K900

2015 Subaru WRX
The good : 268HP from a 2.0 Liter engine and 6 speed manual. AWD. The bad: Everything your eyes can see. This is, to me, one of the ugliest car at the Auto Show. (The other one being the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage). It is so sad looking. Nothing works. It looks like a car from… Continue reading 2015 Subaru WRX

L.A Auto Show : Porsche Macan
After listening to a few long boring BS speeches from the suits, we finally saw the Macan in person. It looks very nice. More muscular than the Cayenne. I think this will take plenty of sales from the current Cayenne. At $52 000 to start, it is more than the Cayenne V6. I was told… Continue reading L.A Auto Show : Porsche Macan

L.A Auto Show: Jaguar T-Type Coupe.
Nothing else to say except: it looks amazing. Which was expected since we saw the concept. The pix of the interior are from the Convertible.

Auto Show Day Two
Just a few quick pix from the autoshow floor. The new Jag is gorgeous in person. The Colorado will do just fine. The MKC looks really good. I threw out my back getting out of the new Corvette. More very soon…
