Jaguar XE
This is actually the first official picture of the all new Jaguar XE sedan. Which will compete directly with the BMW 3 series, Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4 and Kia Rio. It is RWD and will be powered by an all new 2.0 Liter Turbo as well as a 3.0 Liter V6. No matter what the… Continue reading Jaguar XE

2015/16 Fiat Bravo
Not sure if this is real or not. But the Bravo compact is due for a redesign soon. And, even though “Fiat is back” in the US. We probably will never get the Bravo. (Since Fiat seems to thing we only deserve models that have the name 500 in them.) Unless they add round headlights… Continue reading 2015/16 Fiat Bravo

2015 Mercedes C-Class prices.
It will start at $38 400 for the base C300. But like the GLA, this “base” model is only available early next year. If you want a new C-Class right now (August 25th), you’ll have to spend $40 400 for the C300 4MATIC. Or $48 590 for the V6 C400 4MATIC. Just like with BMW,… Continue reading 2015 Mercedes C-Class prices.

Mercedes prices all new GLA SUV
It will start at $31 300. Or $1400 more than the CLA sedan it is based on. Which is a really good price. After sitting in both, I can tell you that the GLA is much roomier, especially in the back. It’s basically a better looking hatchback version of the sedan. It comes standard with… Continue reading Mercedes prices all new GLA SUV

2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport
Land Rover has just released official pictures of a camouflaged prototype of their new SUV. So we can actually see the whole shape. And where the seats are. They also mentioned that, in the UK, it will offer 7 seats. From the picture above, it looks like these last 2 seats are about an inch… Continue reading 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport

VW CC Test Drive.
Even though it has been around for over 6 years now, the CC still looks great. I have been curious about this car for a while, and was really happy to finally get to drive one for a week. Unfortunately, my test car was the “R-Line” model. Which doesn’t really add anything to improve the… Continue reading VW CC Test Drive.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Nothing new really. Just some new pictures from GM. I really think the ATS will work better as a coupe. After test driving one for a week a few months ago, I was surprised how unusable was the rear seat, and the tiny rear doors. So things won’t be much worse with 2 doors, plus… Continue reading 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe

2015 Porsche Cayenne
Not all new. But as you can see, new front and rear ends. And looking really good. This freshens things up without ruining anything. In the US we will be getting this in 4 versions. Cayenne Diesel, Turbo, S and the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid. Good job.

2015 Buick Envision
This is the so called “Chinese Market version”. That’s what they usually say when something doesn’t look great. Then, a few months later, it lands in the US, pretty much the same. So this is basically the Buick version of the redesigned Chevrolet Equinox. At least in China, the Buck version is powered by the… Continue reading 2015 Buick Envision

Lexus LF-LC Concept approved for production.
And apparently, it will be very close to the concept (pictured above). About 90% close. I think this is great news. The LF-LC is quite stunning. This would make a great model for Lexus to go against the 6 series or S Class coupe. ( I guess that’s was the “old” SC was anyway.) We… Continue reading Lexus LF-LC Concept approved for production.

2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia
This, of course, is just an illustration. As we really knows what Alfa’s next mid size sedan will look like. It was, for a while, rumored to be based on the new Chrysler 200 platform. But now it looks like Alfa will be getting its own RWD platform instead. Which is a good thing. The… Continue reading 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia

More pictures of the new 2015 Mazda2
These are better pictures of the all new Mazda2. And what a great looking little car, inside and out. Amazingly enough, Mazda has already started building them in Japan today. No word on the US engine. But it will probably be the same as the 1.5 Liter used in Japan. Although we will not be… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2015 Mazda2

2015 Mazda2
Looking really cute. Pretty much exactly like a smaller Mazda3. (I guess that’s what everyone is doing now. One design for all…) Interior seems to be a big step forward. More upscale than the current model. And much better than the Fiesta. (Although I still think the Fiesta hatchback looks great. Maybe even better than… Continue reading 2015 Mazda2

2015 Smart ForTwo and ForFour
So they are all new and still look like Smart cars. And at the same time, more like regular cars. Inside and out. No news yet about engines. But to me, these should all be electric. There are many roomier cars getting better MGPs around. So these need to be different. So far, it seems… Continue reading 2015 Smart ForTwo and ForFour
-
2015 Audi Q7
This is still just an illustration. But it does look a lot like these spy shots we have seen for about 15/20 years now. Just like most new Audi models, it just looks like a square version of the current car. The current Q7 still looks really good, I think. I’m sure the new one… Continue reading 2015 Audi Q7

Cadillac Escalade V-Sport and Diesel coming up???
According to Automotive News, Cadillac is actually considering a more powerful version of the Escalade. And maybe even a diesel version. Sure, there might be a few people who always want “bigger with more power”. I guess they can always add a supercharger or a turbo to the huge 6.2 Liter V8. (Although Lincoln decided… Continue reading Cadillac Escalade V-Sport and Diesel coming up???

VW Crossblue coming up…
It has finally been announced today. It will be built in the US. And not in Mexico. Good news fro Tennessee that will see another 2000 jobs from it. The bad news is: production will start late 2016. Not late this year. Or late next year. But over 2 years from now!!! The concept is… Continue reading VW Crossblue coming up…

2016 Toyota Prius
Still under heavy camouflage. But now you can tell it will look quite different than the current model. Even if the general silhouette is similar. The cut from the hatchback and the rear door both look much more rounded than before. I suspect that under all that black tape, things might not be that angular… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Prius

New 2015 VW Passat videos.
I don’t know about you, but all these videos make me really wish this car was sold here in the US. VW’s idea of the US market is so wrong. Thinking Americans only want bigger/cheaper cars. Sure, many do. Maybe most. But NOT the ones who buy VWs. That’s the whole point. Of course it… Continue reading New 2015 VW Passat videos.

2015 Opel/Vauxhall Corsa
Looks like the design is actually mostly new. But hard to say if it is “all new”. (2015 model is on top) I am also not so sure it is an improvement over the current one. At least the 4 door version. The 2 door model always looked more modern, and still does here. Again,… Continue reading 2015 Opel/Vauxhall Corsa
-
2015 Mazda2
At least we get to see the interior early. Looks fine to me. In line with the new Mazda3, but smaller. Looks like the iPad looking screen is here to stay. I wonder how long it will take to appear in the Mazda 6 and CX5…

2015 Kia K4
The K4 is for the Chinese market, only. So far. It is position right under the Optima, known as the K5 over there. And seems to be based on the Forte. As the previous generation had the same body as our Forte. This looks like a small version of the large K900 sedan. And more… Continue reading 2015 Kia K4

More pictures of the all new 2015 Euro VW Passat
I still think it looks really good. I hear it is a bit smaller, yet roomier than the previous generation. And almost 200 pounds lighter as well. This will make our US model look even worse. Especially the interior, which is already one of the most depressing out there… All we rare getting here is… Continue reading More pictures of the all new 2015 Euro VW Passat

All new 2015 VW Passat
Yes, this is the all new Passat for 2015. New platform, new body, new interior. I think it looks very nice, in a conservative sort of way. Of course. Not very original, but looking very upscale and quite modern. VW did a really nice job. But that is all most of us will ever see.… Continue reading All new 2015 VW Passat

2015 Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake
It is coming up soon. But probably not in the US. Just like the wagon version of the larger CLS. I guess Mercedes would rather have us buy the GLA SUV instead. Too bad as this will probably look really good.
