• Volvo S90

     After ell these years, (almost 10) the S80 sedan is about to be replaced. By this all new S90 model. What we have here are pictures of a toy version of the car. So the real thing will of course look much better. And it already looks quite nice. It really looks like a sedan… Continue reading Volvo S90

  • 2016 Toyota Prius

    There it is. The all new Prius, finally. Looking, very… complicated . The front ends seems quite busy. And that rear light… But it doesn’t matter. It actually looks to me like a normal evolution from the current model. (Which now looks quite subtle compared to that) I haven’t heard of any technical breakthrough. Mileage… Continue reading 2016 Toyota Prius

  • 2016 VW Passat (US)

     First, let me remind you what VW officially said about the 2016  Passat: “major facelift”, “new sheet metal, new wheels, headlamps and taillights, more premium interior”. The picture above shows anything except a “major facelift”. What it shows is what they did with the Jetta for 2015. Very minute changes that only current owners would… Continue reading 2016 VW Passat (US)

  • All new Hyundai Elantra

    From the factory floor. As you can see, it is still a very nice looking car. But, just like the new Sonata, it does look a bit more conservative. Although not as “old” as it’s larger brother. (The Sonata does look like an old person car now) Inside. It is way more conservative than before.… Continue reading All new Hyundai Elantra

  • All new Kia Sportage

    These are, finally, the 1st official picture of the all new Sportage. Looking good. More brown o, I guess. (probably more expensive too) the worst part is still the super busy front end. And these LED lights do look horrible…

  • 2017 VW Tiguan?

    This looks like it could be. As it seems a bit small for that “upcoming” (whenever that is) production version of the US Crossblue concept. This seems much shorter. And I hear an all new Tiguan is just around the corner (finally) Not much to look at. And I bet it won’t look much better… Continue reading 2017 VW Tiguan?

  • Mercedes S-Class Cabrio

    First official picture. A convertible version of the S-Class for the 1st time in 44 years. It won’t be cheap, but it’ll be great (If you skip that red color interior…)

  • 2017 Kia Sportage

    Just a few more pictures before it becomes official. Still, I really like the current design and I will miss it. Especially the very distinctive chrome by the C-pillar. Now it is more generic. A bit more muscular and grown up maybe. But basically a diluted version of the current excellent design. With a weird… Continue reading 2017 Kia Sportage

  • 2017 Hyundai Elantra

    I’d say so far so good. Sure, it looks a lot (a lot!!!) like the current one. But it doesn’t look worse or more boring (Like the new Sonata does to me) The current Elantra really is one of the bet looking car in its class. The design aged really well. This new one at… Continue reading 2017 Hyundai Elantra

  • 2016/17 Kia Sportage

    Looks like these 3D renderings I posted a while ago were the real thing after all. Too bad…. It now looks much less original than the current model. The front end especially, is way too busy. Just like the new Optima, the previous one was much nicer looking.

  • Mercedes S-Class cabriolet

    This is something I cannot wait to see. Not because I am thinking of getting one (not right away at least…) But because it should end up being one of the best looking convertible available. The S-Class coupe is quite stunning in person already. ( I actually saw one last week driven by John Hamm)… Continue reading Mercedes S-Class cabriolet

  • 2017 Ford Fusion

    Looks like the revised Fusion for 2017 has leaked early, on Twitter. (Top picture. Bottom is the current model) And it does look really good. I don’t think it ruins the already great looking Fusion at all. Honda designers could learn a lot (A LOT) from this. After seeing horribly redesigned front ends from Honda… Continue reading 2017 Ford Fusion

  • 2016 Lexus GS

    I am actually not really sure what to think of this. In a way, that new oversized grille does add some personality to the super boring design. But, it also seems out of place with the rest of the car. Just like it does on most other Lexus models. (It could be better with the… Continue reading 2016 Lexus GS

  • 2017 Mercedes C-Class coupe

    Finally, after all these spy shots over the years. the real thing! It does look great. Like a cross between the stunning S Class coupe and the “old” C class coupe. But… I cannot help but being a tiny bit disappointed. I know I am being very picky (especially after seeing such horrific recent designs… Continue reading 2017 Mercedes C-Class coupe

  • Honda S660 in the US???

    Now it looks like Honda is actually considering the al new S660 roadster for the US. Even thought they said “no way” just a few weeks ago when it came out in Japan. They had even mentioned a slightly larger “export” version with a 1000CC engine. So which is it? Who knows? I really like… Continue reading Honda S660 in the US???

  • 2017 Hyundai Elantra

    The current Elantra (bottom pic) still looks great. Actually much better than even its more recent competition. If there is one car that doesn’t really need a redesign, this is it. Still, the unstoppable redesign schedule rules all. And what we have here (top pic) seems pretty ridiculous to me. It looks like Hyujndai is… Continue reading 2017 Hyundai Elantra

  • 2016 Honda Accord Coupe

    Another day, another car gets uglier. No surprises here really, since we saw the revised (uglified) sedan version a few days ago. The 2016 is the blue one on top. And, again, it makes the current model look really classy. (Which it isn’t, really) The current design, which wasn’t fantastic to begin with, now looks… Continue reading 2016 Honda Accord Coupe

  • 2016 Lexus LX

    Basically, someone suggested to just “make it way uglier”. And they did it. It doesn’t look all new. More like an expensive facelift. Like they did with the Camry last year. Although it seems that most of the sheet metal is new or revised. Interior is  new. So this will be around for a few… Continue reading 2016 Lexus LX

  • Mazda Koeru Concept

     Mazda will introduce this all new concept next month, apparently. Most people agree that it will be a preview of the redesigned CX-9, which would be logical. Since the big crossover is next. Problem is, THIS is the next CX-9. Look at that. Of course the sketch is exaggerated. And the concept itself will be… Continue reading Mazda Koeru Concept

  • Insane!

    This was last week, downtown L.A. At least it’s already almost a dollar less now….
