New interior for the Tesla Model S and X?
These illustrations are supposed to show a new interior design for both the Model S and Model X. They don’t really show the same interior, so I guess one is the S and the other is the X? (And who knows what the 3rd one is…) If these are real, I am not sure it… Continue reading New interior for the Tesla Model S and X?

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

More pictures of the new 2019 Chevrolet Orlando
I think this is quite nice. Still more a wagon than a true SUV. But now with a little more of that SUV DNA. Which is what people seem to like these days. So far they claim this is only for the Chinese market. But I am sure the temptation to sell it in the… Continue reading More pictures of the new 2019 Chevrolet Orlando

2019 Mercedes A class sedan
I almost forgot this car was coming out. Since it is nothing all new. We have seen the concept (exactly the same car) over a year ago. Then we saw the Chinese version of the production car a few months ago (It has a longer wheelbase) We have also seen the new A class hatchback… Continue reading 2019 Mercedes A class sedan

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

More pictures of the all new 2019 Audi Q3
Even with the big grille and rather busy interior, this actually looks very nice to me. Much better than the current “old” one. Again, this reminds me a lot of the Q8. The interior does look quite upscale. And while not a model of simplicity, much nicer, classier and subtle than the new A-Class/GLA from… Continue reading More pictures of the all new 2019 Audi Q3

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

How about some more pix of the new Jeep Commander
Of all these new official pictures, this is my favorite. In front of the “E.T Coffee”!! As it has a weird unintentional “Stranger Things” vibe to it… As mentioned before, the 5 seater Commander doesn’t look like a shorter version of the 7 seater Grand Commander. It seems like the same car minus the 3rd… Continue reading How about some more pix of the new Jeep Commander

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 Porsche Cayenne Coupe
Of course this, to me, seems one of the stupidest idea ever. But so did the idea of a “Porsche SUV” in the first place, years ago. (So what do I know) First, this is NOT a coupe. (It still has 4 doors) And no matter how slanted the hatch is (and by the way,… Continue reading 2019 Porsche Cayenne Coupe

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 Hyundai Lafesta production model.
Here are the first picture of the new Lafesta sedan we saw as a (fake) “concept” a few months ago. Not much has changed. The white production car looks like it is a basic model. So it doesn’t have as many LEDs. And smaller wheels. Otherwise it is pretty much the same as the “concept”.… Continue reading 2019 Hyundai Lafesta production model.

2019 Chevrolet Orlando Interior
At least on these official pictures of the interior, the 3rd row seats actually seems pretty decent. Power comes from a 1.3 Liter Turbo with 156HP. So no speed demon here. It is about 3.5 Inches shorter than our Chevrolet Equinox. But longer than a CR-V or a Mazda CX-5. So it wouldn’t be too… Continue reading 2019 Chevrolet Orlando Interior

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

Chevrolet Traverse test drive
The traverse is a petty impressive looking SUV in the flesh. It is only about 5 inches longer than the Mazda CX-5 or Nissan Pathfinder. But somehow is looks even larger. The design is very nice and modern. The version I drove was a loaded Premier model with the optionalRedLine Edition package. Which is not… Continue reading Chevrolet Traverse test drive

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…

More pictures of the new VW Tharu
These are pictures of the production version of the new VW Tharu SUV I mentioned just yesterday. A “smaller that Tiguan” model for China. And probably the US. (Since we are mostly getting the same VW models) Again, this is not an ugly design. Just almost exactly the same as the Tiguan. And very close… Continue reading More pictures of the new VW Tharu

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
