Citroen CXperience Concept
That really looks like a what a Citroen should be. The current C5 is pretty old now. And it was pretty conservative to begin with. Citroen does need something that reminds people of the C6. Or even more, the super cool CX sedan from the 70’s. This concept would be a good start. Unfortunately, it… Continue reading Citroen CXperience Concept

2017 VW Golf
No big changes here. Except, the “big screen”. (This thing is almost 13 inches, and almost looks too big in the Golf.) Otherwise, things look basically the same for the Golf. Outside, excpect the usual “new lights and bumpers”, but nothing more. This is supposed to be available in Europe later this year. In the… Continue reading 2017 VW Golf

2017 VW CC
Once again, the CC will be a slightly sportier version go the Passat sedan. Except now, it will be based on the nicer European model Passat. Not the one we are getting here. So, for us, it will look all new. The exterior will now be a hatchback. But inside, it looks exactly the same… Continue reading 2017 VW CC

2017/18 Kia Rio
Of course, these are the usual exaggerated official sketches. But, beside the oversize wheels, this look pretty realistic. And it looks rest. Taking the current (and still very nice) design and pushing it a bit. This will be serious competition to the Ford Fiesta. And a small crossover based on this is also coming up… Continue reading 2017/18 Kia Rio

2018 Jeep Compass
Looking pretty good. It is based on the same platform as the Fiat 500X/Jeep Renegade, but is obviously a bit larger and more upscale. I think this has the potential to be a huge seller for Fiat/Chrysler. As they have been pushing the Jeep brand lately. And everywhere. It also seems ( So far) they… Continue reading 2018 Jeep Compass

2017 VW SportCoupe/CC
Whatever they end up calling it, this will be one good looking VW. Something we haven’t seen for a while. (I think the Euro Passat does look great, but we won’t ever get it in the US.) This is based on the Euro Passat, not the cheaper/bloated model we share with China. But it will… Continue reading 2017 VW SportCoupe/CC

2017/18 VW Teramont
Wow…. So far (An I admit, these are not good pictures) this looks worse than I thought. After all these years, we finally see the production version of the Crossblue concept , and it is quite a let down. Although I was never expecting some futuristic/exciting/original design from VW, this is pretty bad. I mean,… Continue reading 2017/18 VW Teramont

2018 Hyundai Sonata
As you can see, there will be quite a bit of change for the Sonata next year. (The current model is the orange one) At least up front, where it already looks quite different. (Let’s hope it also gets a more interesting dashboard while they’re at it) The current Sonata has apparently sold well with… Continue reading 2018 Hyundai Sonata

Mercedes GLC Coupe
This isn’t all new, but I had not seen these “real life” pictures of it yet. And I really like it. I think it looks much nicer than the regular sedan. It’s kind of too bad they made it an SUV, really. This would have made a great C-Class hatchback. Without being jacked up. But… Continue reading Mercedes GLC Coupe

Cadillac Escala Concept
I think this is pretty surprising. ( at least to me.) Not sure what I expected for Cadillac’s new concept…. But after looking at these pictures for a while, I do like it a lot. I think the front end is a great, more subtle design for future Cadillacs. The rear lights are 1000 times… Continue reading Cadillac Escala Concept

Beijing EH400 EV
I know, this looks like the most boring car ever. It is based on a previous sedan from Beijing, itself based on the old GM Saab 9.5. So nothing all new here. Except, it is an EV. With a claimed 250 Miles range. Which, right now, puts it above anything else in its class. This… Continue reading Beijing EH400 EV

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Concept Coupe
Looking pretty amazing, I must say. What a stunning blend of futuristic and weirdly retro design. At the same time, it seems pretty strange. Since Maybach is not a separate brand anymore, it seems strange to have this all new design. The only Maybach available now is a stretched version of the S-Class. And their… Continue reading Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Concept Coupe

2017 Buick Cascada ST
This is a little disappointing. For 2017, Buick is adding a special edition “ST” to the Cascada. Which is about $900 more than the loaded model. But all you are getting for your money is a new color, new wheel design, new steering wheel, and something called “black magic interior components”. I call that PR… Continue reading 2017 Buick Cascada ST

All new Cadillac Concept coming up
This one seems to be celebrating a new partnership with LG. So lots of electronic on display. From that video, it looks very 70’s. Which could be really cool. Although the 70’s are not really remembered as the best decade for Cadillac (far from it) Besides that, they will of course claim a new design… Continue reading All new Cadillac Concept coming up

2017 Honda Civic Hatchback
I can’t say I am surprised, since I posted a picture of this a long time ago. Still, I think this is pretty horrible. (And that’s coming from someone who loves hatchbacks) I mean this is one of the busiest design I have seen in years, making the Mazda3 look like a classy model. It… Continue reading 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback

VW Crossblue VS. Skoda Kodiaq
The Kodiaq is almost out. As for the VW, who knows…. We’ve been waiting for years. (Especially the poo VW dealers who really needed something like that years ago…) So far, they do look really similar. The roof of the Skoda seems a bit sportier towards the back, but that could be the angle of… Continue reading VW Crossblue VS. Skoda Kodiaq

“All new” Karma Revero
This is a really cool video. Showing, for the first time, the new version of the Karma. So it looks like it is really coming back to life. Even built in the US. And the smaller Altantic is coming out next. The “now Chinese owned” company is aiming for about 3000 units a year so… Continue reading “All new” Karma Revero

2017 Mazda3
Just a few changes for the new year. And in true Mazda fashion, they didn’t ruin anything. At all. Which is great, since the Mazda3 is still, in my opinion, the best looking compact hatchback out there. Inside it now gets the same steering wheel as the CX-9. Which is just fine. Otherwise it gets… Continue reading 2017 Mazda3

US version of the all new Genesis G90 sedan
As you can see, this is exactly the same car that went on sale in Korea a while ago. Looks like they didn’t change a thing. (They couldn’t even figure out how to hide the horrible black plastic on the grille. Which I guess is for the laser cruise control) It doesn’t look bad. And… Continue reading US version of the all new Genesis G90 sedan

Chevrolet Cruze test drive
The all new Cruze is a really nice looking car in the flesh. I was a little underwhelmed when I first sat in one at the Auto show. I thought it was just OK. But this top of the line Premier model I had for a week was much nicer. And much more upscale looking.… Continue reading Chevrolet Cruze test drive

New BMW ads make fun of Tesla
BMW is already comparing their plug-in version of the 3 series sedan to the upcoming Tesla Model3. Focusing on how long it will take to actually get a Model3. It is quite funny. (Seeing that poor guy waiting for his car..) And also true, since it might take well over 2 years (Or more) for… Continue reading New BMW ads make fun of Tesla

2017/18 Audi A5 Sportback
The Sportback is a 4 door hatchback version of the A5 coupe. Kind of what BMW is doing with the 4 series. Since the A5 is basically a coupe version of the A4 sedan (With a bit more style), the Sportback is pretty much an A4 hatch. The A4 and A5 share the same interior… Continue reading 2017/18 Audi A5 Sportback

What could have been: Ford Mustang
This is a prototype of a Mustang model from 1966. Not sure what model this was supposed to be. Or if it was intended as just a show car. These headlights were obviously not legal yet in the 60s. The look like they were taken from a German Ford, like a Taunus or Capri. But… Continue reading What could have been: Ford Mustang

2017/18 BMW 1 series sedan
Well, well, well… Just look a this. This is the car BMW swears is “exclusively for the Chinese market”. Caught testing in Europe. Of course! And you know it’s coming over here too. There is quite a market for these small sedans with big badges. Like the FWD Mercedes CLA or the Golf based Audi… Continue reading 2017/18 BMW 1 series sedan
