• Ford’s SUV future

    I guess Ford will be developing 2 lines of SUV types. Explorer and Escape will be what they are now: more family oriented. More like modern station wagons. While the new Bronco and “yet-to-be-named” small rugged guy will offer a more “macho” look. (I guess for tough guys and whoever want to portray that image.)… Continue reading Ford’s SUV future

  • Bob’s Friday night

    You just never know what you’ll see there.   Where realities of the past gather on Friday nights. All in Burbank California. 

  • 2019 Porsche Macan

     Outside, the news are mostly lights and bumpers. Which is fine. The Macan was always a really nice looking SUV and the changes don’t ruin it. Things seem more different inside. While the top part of the dash seems to be the same. (Even the old fashion/cheap looking/1990s passenger side airbag cut is still there)… Continue reading 2019 Porsche Macan

  • 2019 Porsche Macan

    We have all seen the 100’s of spy shots of the 2019 Macan. Not a new car, but it will be getting new front and rear ends. As well as a revised dashboard. As you can see on the official teaser above, the lights will pretty much look like all recent Porsche designs. More on… Continue reading 2019 Porsche Macan

  • 2019 Audi Q3

    The all new Q3 seems to look more like a tiny Q8 than a small Q5. Which is a good thing. It looks much more upscale than the previous, 7 year old, model. Inside as well. Although that interior seems to follow the latest trend of way too much chrome/metal trim lines everywhere.  I guess… Continue reading 2019 Audi Q3

  • 2019 Jeep Commander

    As expected, the all new Grand Commander is now available as a regular 5 seater called “Commander”.  (of course) Looks like the back seat is really roomy now. And the trunk is pretty huge without the 3rd row. So this might actually be the same car with less seats. Not a shorter wheelbase version… I… Continue reading 2019 Jeep Commander

  • 2019 Kia Soul

    I think this is looking just fine so far. A nice modern update on a popular design. Although I am sure many will scream about the headlights. Since that ‘double layer” headlight design seem to always be controversial. Even though we are seeing it more and more. (Even on the new Chevrolet Blazer) I never… Continue reading 2019 Kia Soul

  • 2019 European Honda CR-V

    The “new” CR-V is finally available in Europe. With just a couple of differences from our US model. The main one being the availability of a third row seat. Which, as usual in this class, seems really small. With almost zero legroom and very little luggage space left behind. I guess there must be a… Continue reading 2019 European Honda CR-V

  • 2019 Chevrolet Orlando

    The previous generation Orlando was never sold in the US. It came out in 2011 and was sold pretty much everywhere except the US. Now there is a new one. Which will be mostly for, of course, the Chinese market. I have not heard of plans for US sales yet. The old Orlando looked more… Continue reading 2019 Chevrolet Orlando

  • 2019 VW Tayron

    The new Chinese market Tayron does look familiar. Since it is the production version of the concept we saw a few months ago in China (Bottom pic) (I mean, it is exactly the same car…)  But it also looks a lot like the Atlas Cross Sport Concept we saw in the US. Which is supposed… Continue reading 2019 VW Tayron

  • 2020 Ford Explorer

    From the first picture, it looks like the interior will include a tablet sticking up. Just like the Aviator concept did. (And the new Focus) Actually, I am calling this the 2020 Explorer, but it could also be the Aviator.  Since these will be very closely related. Like the Expedition and Navigator are.  Who knows…

  • 2019 Honda Pilot

    Honda released a few more pictures of the revised 2019 Pilot. As expected, it is pretty much the same car. Most changes are upfront, where they are trying to make it a bit more aggressive. Yet a bit cleaner. With a bit more of an off road look. Honda sold almost 130 000 of them… Continue reading 2019 Honda Pilot

  • 2019 VW Tharu interior

    Yes, so far, this is just a prototype. So that interior is not “all there” yet. Still, so far this looks pretty bad… VW has already said we are not getting the T-Roc. But we’re not getting the Polo based (slightly smaller)  T-Cross either. Instead, we are probably getting a US version of the upcoming… Continue reading 2019 VW Tharu interior

  • 2020/21 Ford Fusion

    Just when we though the Fusion was dead, it isn’t really. Ford has decided to kill the Fusion in the US. But it’s sister car in Europe and other countries, the Mondeo, will get a redesign for the 2020 or 2021 model year. And just like the current Mondeo, Ford will offer a wagon version.… Continue reading 2020/21 Ford Fusion

  • 2019 Fiat 500X

    The 500X compact SUV is getting a small refresh for the new year. Just like its Jeep Renegade cousin did. It looks like it is getting the same tail lights the regular 500 got a few years ago. (For sone reason, the US version of the 500 never got this new design) Otherwise, small changes… Continue reading 2019 Fiat 500X
