2015/16 Chevrolet Cruze
This is obviously a Chinese version of the next Chevrolet Cruze. But it also match perfectly every single spy shot I have seen of the next US Cruze. So I would think they are the same car. Not sure why this is not covered at all, and has all the logos on it. Kind of… Continue reading 2015/16 Chevrolet Cruze

Something you don’t see every day…
This was at a shop in Glendale. A few days ago. Not sure what is going on there. Obviously an Eldorado, with a pick up truck bed… And 6 wheels! Just wonder if it is old, or in the process of being built. Next time I drive by (on my way to the great Golden… Continue reading Something you don’t see every day…

2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
The Santa Fe is getting a few changes for 2015. And by looking at these pictures, I mean VERY FEW. the white car is the “new” one. All I can see is new mirrors and LED lights up front. Not sure what else is in store for the US model. The Santa Fe still looks… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

Ford Transit Van testing in the US
This is the US version of Ford’s replacement for the aging (To say the least) E series van. It is basically the same as the one sold in Europe. Which is a bit sad to me. As I never liked the look of these European delivery vans. They just always look too tall and narrow.… Continue reading Ford Transit Van testing in the US

2016 Mazda Miata
There are a few rumors about the all new Miata showing up at the New York auto show next month. Mazda is indeed planning a 25 Anniversary celebration at the show. But no one knows if the new model will be there or not. Some say they will only show the new chassis. (Who cares)… Continue reading 2016 Mazda Miata

2015 Toyota Camry coming up soon.
The revised Camry will be officially shown on April 16th. So far, the only official word is ” will challenge conventional expectations of mid-cycle model change”. So that would mean quite a bit more than the usual “new headlights and bumpers”. (It is also what is being said about the 2015 Jetta and 2016 Passat)… Continue reading 2015 Toyota Camry coming up soon.

2015/16 Subaru Legacy STI?
Not sure yet. But there could be a sportier version of the all new Legacy on the way. With a rumored 300HP engine. Right now, the top engine is the 3.6 Liter V6. So not sure if they would even offer an STI version in the US or not. Seems to me that it would… Continue reading 2015/16 Subaru Legacy STI?

2015 Chrysler 200 MPG
The base 2.4 model is officially rated at 23/36MPG. While the V6 gets 19/32. (These are for the FWD versions.) Not the best numbers but still very good. These “official” numbers don’t mean that much anyway. Since all mid sized sedans seem to be getting similar results in real world driving. I usually get more… Continue reading 2015 Chrysler 200 MPG

2015 Mustang Convertible Video
This new video explains the new top designs. Also compares it to the current model. The only think that seems a bit strange, is that it still has a latch. Only one, which is better. But still. The current Beetle convertible top is fully automatic. Even in the base model which costs about $5000 less… Continue reading 2015 Mustang Convertible Video

All new SportWagen R coming up.
The new Wagon version of the Golf will be getting the R treatment. Soon. Which could be quite interesting. Since the new Golf R is making 290HP. The R is coming over to the US. But who knows about the wagon. We are getting the regular wagon here powered by the new 1.8 Liter Turbo… Continue reading All new SportWagen R coming up.

Ford Everest “Concept”
The Everest is a Ranger based SUV that has been available in a bunch of foreign markets for years. Many years. So it is time for a redesign. Still not car based. The Everest could be seen as “What the Explorer could shave been” if it kept its truck roots. So far no words on… Continue reading Ford Everest “Concept”
-
2015 Subaru Outback?
Could be… I guess. It is always a jacked up wagon version of whatever the current Legacy is. So why not this. The current one seems popular but quite vulgar looking. In my opinion. I prefer the previous version. Which seemed much more like a wagon and didn’t try so hard to look like a… Continue reading 2015 Subaru Outback?

2015 Nissan Murano Teaser
We can’t see much. But the final design should look very close to the Resonance Concept from last year. Which could make the new Murano stand out from the new Rogue and Pathfinder. The Murano is now in a similar situation than the Maxima. Their little brothers (Rogue/Altima) are getting so good and popular, they… Continue reading 2015 Nissan Murano Teaser
-
2015 Hyundai Sonata
In my opinion, this is a big step backward. It looks like a more boring version of the current model. It doesn’t look new (although most “new” cars don’t these days…). It looks like it came out before the current model. Same thing inside. I don’t get it. The Sonata is a big hit for… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai Sonata
-
Chrysler 200 EV
Or at least plug-in Hybrid. But that wouldn’t explain the lack of exhaust pipes. Or the fact that they are so obviously blocked… I witnessed the car myself and it is 100% quiet when driving. No engine noise. So it does look like Chrysler is working on an electric version of the new 200. Or… Continue reading Chrysler 200 EV

VW Jetta 1.8Turbo Test Drive
The design is the same for 2014. Nothing seems to have changed. Which seems a bit weird. Since there is a “mid cycle refresh” due very soon. Strange they didn’t wait a few months to introduce the new engine and new look together… Its current design can be described as boring. Or classic. Depending on… Continue reading VW Jetta 1.8Turbo Test Drive

Something you don’t see every day…
A real Rolls Royce. (Not the current tank looking one) It still looks great, expensive and classy. Always great to see one of these around.

2016 Bentley SUV
Yes they are actually going to make an SUV. They showed us the EXP 9F Concept back in 2012. Which was one of the worst designs I have ever seen. (It looked like a drunk teenager’s idea of a bentley SUV.) Now they have released the 1st picture of the production model. And it already… Continue reading 2016 Bentley SUV

Next Renault Espace
The Initiale Paris Concept from last year was obviously a preview of the new Espace. But as you can see, it has been toned down quite a bit for production. The proportions are quite different, and much less aggressive. It actually looks more like a minivan with regular doors now. I really liked the look… Continue reading Next Renault Espace

Another pic of the 2016 Ford Taurus mule.
Now some people are saying this is a mule for Lincoln. Since the large MKS is soon due for a redesign. Not sure… The horizontal grille behind the camo doesn’t really say Lincoln. Unless this is also part of the camouflage and the real grille is behind the whole thing. (But then, why even test… Continue reading Another pic of the 2016 Ford Taurus mule.

2015 Hyundai Sonata Interior (Update: it’s NOT)
The top picture is the all new Sonata. The bottom is the new Genesis. They look really similar. I guess the “flat dash” look is Hyundai’s new black. Let’s hope they aren’t trying to pull “an Audi” on us. With one design of different sizes for every car they make. That would be too bad…… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai Sonata Interior (Update: it’s NOT)

2016 Ford Taurus !
Of course this is just a test mule, and not the final design. Still, it does show quite different proportions than the current model. Lower, wider. From what we have seen recently with other Ford designs, this could be quite a looker. Looks like a really attractive large sedan is taking shaper here. It will… Continue reading 2016 Ford Taurus !

All new Datsun Sedan
This is basically the sedan version of the “Go” hatchback we have seen before. And it will be one of the ugliest car produced on this planet. This “official sketch” doesn’t even try to make it look good. This is how bad the design is. The new sedan isn’t a big surprise, since it was… Continue reading All new Datsun Sedan
-
2015 Hyundai Sonata
Leaking more and more. Which means we will see official pictures very soon. Looking fine. But the more I see it, the more conservative it looks. It also looks a lot (a lot!) like the new 2015 Subaru Legacy. Although the Hyundai seems a bit more dynamic. These two will be hard to tell what… Continue reading 2015 Hyundai Sonata

More pictures of the 2015 Mercedes C-Class
What an amazing looking interior. A near perfect blend of modern and luxury. Not sure exactly how much the new C-Class will be. But it seems to be a huge step up from the new CLA. I sat in a few CLA models and can honestly say that they are nice, but nothing special. Interior… Continue reading More pictures of the 2015 Mercedes C-Class
