• Lexus LF-C2 Concept

    Nothing very special. It is pretty much a preview of a convertible version of the RC-F. Which is just fine. I like convertibles. So as far as i’m concerned, the more the better. I am glad to see that car makers don’t give up on that shrinking segment.

  • 2016 Honda HR-V

    Looking pretty cute. And in direct competition with the all new Mazda CX-2. Also introduced today. And also looking almost as roomy as the larger CR-V. While more modern looking. Engine for the US is a 1.8 Liter with 138HP. With a CVT. But there is good news: a 6 speed manual is available in… Continue reading 2016 Honda HR-V

  • 2016 Mazda CX-5

     The CX-5 is also getting a refresh for the new year. But, unlike the Mazda6, it is not getting a new interior. Which is too bad. As the current one is pretty bland. Almost Mitsubishi like… Engines are the same as before. And just like with the revised Mazda6, I don’t think the new front… Continue reading 2016 Mazda CX-5

  • 2016 Mazda6

    I really don’t think they needed to do anything to the exterior. As it looked great the way it was. The slightly revised front end is really not an improvement. It doesn’t ruin the car or anything, but why bother??? Inside, it is much better. It manages to both look much more original than before,… Continue reading 2016 Mazda6

  • Audi Prologue Concept

    So this is supposed to show us Audi’s new design direction for its upcoming production models. I guess, except the new Q7 since that was designed quite a while ago… From these pictures, I can’t decide if it is gorgeous, or just another version of Audi’s boring designs. It sure is different from the current… Continue reading Audi Prologue Concept

  • 2016 Ford Explorer

     Ford is making quite a big deal about this, but there isn’t that much new stuff. IThe usual revised front/rear. A new engine. The 2.0 Liter is replaced by the Mustang’s 2.3 Liter (but with “only” 270HP here). There is a new top of the line version called Platinum. Which should be really expensive. (I… Continue reading 2016 Ford Explorer

  • 2015 Chrysler 300

    The Chrysler 300 gets a few small changes for 2015. Not much. But it looks a bit cleaner. Front and rear. Inside, it is still quite busy looking. The 2 tone steering wheel doesn’t help. Now all models have an 8 speed automatic. Engines are the same.

  • 2016 Cadillac ATS-V

    I have to admit, this looks much better than the previous pictures from a few days ago. That blue color with black wheels was pretty horrible. Now, especially the darker 4 door, this doesn’t look more vulgar than a BMW M3, M4 or Mercedes C Class AMG. But the overall design of the ATS still… Continue reading 2016 Cadillac ATS-V

  • 2016 Mazda CX-3

    This looks really nice. It is smaller and cheaper than the CX-5 (obviously), but I think it looks better. Plus, it even uses the same 2.0 Liter engine. Which should make it a bit quicker than the larger model. Automatic is standard on all models. I think this might end up stealing sales from the… Continue reading 2016 Mazda CX-3

  • VW Golf R Variant

    So this is the crazy 300HP version of our upcoming 2016 Sportwagen. This will get tons of people excited I’m sure. Yet, how many will actually buy an expensive 300HP compact wagon in the US… I will be introduced at the L’A Auto Show, so I am assuming it will make it over here. But… Continue reading VW Golf R Variant

  • 2016 Toyota Mirai

    No matter how much people will hate this car, it is a very big deal. One of the very first Hydrogen car available for a normal price. By “normal”, I mean $57 500. ( Actually closer to $45 000 with incentives) Still not cheap. But the lease is $499. And that does includes free hydrogen.… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Mirai

  • 2016 Renault Laguna

    First, these are, of course, just illustrations. Second, we don’t get the Laguna here. We never have and never will. But the current generation shares most of its platform with our Nissan Altima. I do think it is time for the Laguna and the Altima to basically become the same car. Just like what Ford… Continue reading 2016 Renault Laguna

  • 2016 Cadillac ATS-V

    I guess we knew it was coming. In their obsession to compete with Mercedes and BMW, Cadillac is now producing high powered V models of almost every sedan they make. I drove a CTS-V (The cool wagon one) a while ago for a week. Sure, it was great. The power, the 6 speed. But no… Continue reading 2016 Cadillac ATS-V
