Stuff we don’t get: Chevrolet Cruze wagon
Yes, Chevrolet offers a wagon version of the Cruze in many other markets. But not in the US. Even though GM suits claim they wish they had a wagon here. I think it looks fine, and would do great against the VW Jetta Sportwagen. Especially with the diesel. Since Chevrolet won’t be selling cars in… Continue reading Stuff we don’t get: Chevrolet Cruze wagon

“All new” BMW 4 series Grand Coupe
Things are getting pretty bizarre at BMW. 1st they rename the 3 series coupe the 4 series. Now they have a sedan version of that coupe. But it’s NOT a 3 series. Still a 4. No matter what they call it, it is Not a coupe. Since it has 4 doors. It basically a better… Continue reading “All new” BMW 4 series Grand Coupe

Dodge Journey Crossroad
Chrysler feels they need to give Dodge “something” for the upcoming Chicago Auto show. Since there are no new models coming up any time soon, they came up with an off road look option for the aging Journey. It doesn’t look too bad. Although I think they should have done even more. Like something around… Continue reading Dodge Journey Crossroad

Mercedes V-Class
Basically, a new version of the old Viano. Which has been used in Europe as a cargo van as well as V.I.P/hotel/airport shuttle. The new one (Now called V-Class) seems to be pushing the luxury card even more. It looks just OK. Without the Mercedes grille, it could be anything. From a few years ago.… Continue reading Mercedes V-Class

Buick Cascada?
Not sure but this looks like it could deb a Buick version of the Opel Cascada. I was told the picture was taken in the US. A Buick version of the Cascada convertible makes total sense to me. The Chrysler 200 is pretty much alone in that segment. And it is old and basically a… Continue reading Buick Cascada?

All new 2015 Subaru Legacy coming up
This is the 1st official teaser for he new Legacy. And it does look quite nice. I remember dismissing the concept we saw a while ago as “just another design they’ll never produce”. But it looks like I was wrong. (Which only happens once every 38 years) This is sit concept. Sure the production car… Continue reading All new 2015 Subaru Legacy coming up

Kia K900 price
The big luxury K900 will start at $60 400 in the US. A $6000 VIP package is also available. This price is for the 420hp V8 model. The cheaper V6 will be priced at a later date. Quite a bold move for Kia to release the more expensive model first. I know that’s what most… Continue reading Kia K900 price

2015 Lexus NX
This is what they were showing on a big screen behind Toyota’s CEO Jim Lentz during a presentation. It obviously is NOT the nightmarish LF-NX Concept we saw before. (That one is the bottom pic) It does look like a production version of it. And much, much better than the concept. Will be powered by… Continue reading 2015 Lexus NX

GM Mule testing. Next Buick Lacrosse?
I say GM because there seems to be a lot of Insignia/Regal in here. But not quite. It seems longer. And a bit different. My best guess is an early prototype for the next LaCrosse. Any other ideas???

Buick Regal GS AWD Automatic Test Drive
I have driven the Regal GS last year. And was very impressed by it. This time, I got to spend a few days with an AWD version. And this one was also was an automatic. (Which I assume is a more popular choice.) I think the Regal/Opel Insignia is a great design. It still looks… Continue reading Buick Regal GS AWD Automatic Test Drive

Superbowl ads.
I really like the Kia900 one. I think it is a clever way to make a point. The exact point they need to make. On the other hand, the VW one is actually pretty gutsy. Advertising reliability for a brand known to be quite unreliable…

2014 VW Polo
The current generation is almost 5 years old. And VW has decided to offer a few changes for 2014, not an all new car. The current car still looks really good, and the new front and slightly revised interior might just do fine for the next couple of years. Someone at VW US had mentioned… Continue reading 2014 VW Polo

Some more pictures of the new Honda Vezel
Or the new “Fit SUV”. I think it looks better than the new Fit actually. But still… (What doesn’t) Look at this. Way too many lines. Everywhere. If it looks like a Chinese design, it’s because China is now everybody’s largest market. And Honda’s new priority. Not the US anymore. So get ready for many… Continue reading Some more pictures of the new Honda Vezel

Fiat 500X
The X is an SUV looking version of the 500. And just like the 500L, this is not really a true Fiat 500. It is based on a different, larger platform. All it gets from the 500 is that front end with the round headlights. But, this one could be interesting. As I do like… Continue reading Fiat 500X

VW Tiguan Test Drive
I have been interested in trying out the Tiguan for a while. And I finally got one last week. The new(ish) R version. The 1st thing I noticed was how good it looks. It came out almost 7 years ago! (with a refresh for 2012) Which is quite amazing. I think it still looks better… Continue reading VW Tiguan Test Drive

2014 VW Beetle 1.8Turbo price
Looks like the Beetle is the last VW US model to get the new 1.8 Liter. It has already replaced the 2.5 Liter in the Jetta and Passat. The 5 speed manual will start at $20 295. While the 6 speed auto is $1100 more. That base price is pretty much BS since it is… Continue reading 2014 VW Beetle 1.8Turbo price

More pictures of the 2015 Lincoln Navigator
As you can see, it is hardly new. Basically the same body it has had for so long now. With a new front end and interior every few years. This time it is getting a new engine as well. A 3.5 Lier V6 Turbo with 365HP. (About 55 less than the 2015 Escalade) Of course,… Continue reading More pictures of the 2015 Lincoln Navigator

2015 Lincoln Navigator
I know I am being “negative” again. But look at this… Just when you thought it wasn’t possible for the Navigator to be uglier, they release these pictures. That new front end is beyond words. I know I was bashing the new Escalade a few weeks ago for just being another Tahoe clone. But at… Continue reading 2015 Lincoln Navigator

How about some 2015 Volvo XC90 renderings
The illustration above looks great. But it is basically a 4 door version of the concept we saw last week. Which would be great, but would end up looking just like a regular wagon. Instead, I think we’ll get this. Another heavy looking, tall brick. Nothing special. really. After all these years… This could end… Continue reading How about some 2015 Volvo XC90 renderings

Another new London Taxi from LTI/Geely?
A few weeks ago I posted a picture of what Nissan is hoping to be the next Londan Taxi. basically a blacked out NV200 van with a chrome grille and round headlight. Which would be pretty sad. The original Firm LTI was bought by Chinese Geely a while ago. The the current London taxis are… Continue reading Another new London Taxi from LTI/Geely?
