• Last night at Bob’s…

    A few things I saw last night in Burbank. Some in better shapes than others, but all so much more interesting than most of what we see today…

  • 2020/21 Kia Optima

    A new Hyundai Sonata means there is a new Kia Optima around the corner. And here it is. Although still wearing tons of camouflage, inside and out. As usual, it will share its platform and engines with the new Sonata. So far that’s pretty much all we have…

  • 2020 Karma Revero

    The 2020 model is the dark one above. Despite what Karma describes as ” new lines and curves”, it doesn’t seem to be more than some mid-cycle (a long cycle) facelift. Like a new front and rear design, new mirrors and a revised interior. The powertrain is supposed to be new. With, I guess, a longer EV… Continue reading 2020 Karma Revero

  • 2020 Ford Escape teasers

     So far this looks really good. Not trucky at all, and very car like. Which it should be since it will basically replace not only the current Escape but also the Fusion and Focus in their US lineup. (The trucky ones will be the Bronco and that smaller “baby Bronco” one coming out later.) This… Continue reading 2020 Ford Escape teasers

  • 2020 Nissan Juke

    These were sent to me by a reader who is wondering if they are the real thing. While they probably look really close, I am not sure they are. In the first picture, the top of the A-Pillar looks very angular. Much more so than on the prototype pictured HERE. But as I said, I am sure… Continue reading 2020 Nissan Juke

  • 2020/21 Buick Envista?

     GM just trademarked the Envista name for the US. Which, of course, sounds a lot like a Buick. Which means, an all-new, non-Opel based, Buick model is coming up. (They also, just a few days ago, announced a new EV model will be soon built in the US.) It could be yet another SUV, something… Continue reading 2020/21 Buick Envista?

  • 2020 Nissan Juke

    Even though it will be based on a new platform, you can tell Nissan is keeping the Juke design close to The current model (the red one) Looks like the rear door is a bit longer. And the whole thing seems more angular. Not sure if the next Juke will make it to the US though…… Continue reading 2020 Nissan Juke

  • 2020 Buick Lacrosse Avenir

    Just a few more pictures of a really good looking American car we will never see in the US. The revised Buick Lacrosse fro 2020. Not an all-new model. But a new front and rear end, mostly. Just like what they did with the 2019 Cadillac CT6, these modifications actually make the car so much better… Continue reading 2020 Buick Lacrosse Avenir

  • Cruising Instagram…

    Some of the interesting stuff I found this week: – Mr.Nimoy and his new Riviera. – An early version of the Ford Capri II – Honda looking design proposal for a Ford sedan. – Early Nissan Figaro design. – Back in the days when Fiat was making a gorgeous large coupe. – A new Karman Ghia… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

  • 2020 Mini Clubman

    These are supposedly pictures of the revised Mini Clubman for the 2020 model year. I don’t really see any changes up front.  Maybe new LED light designs? In the back, it is obviously getting new lights. Similar to what the “regular” mini got last year. Mimicking the design of the British flag. Which, I think,… Continue reading 2020 Mini Clubman

  • Porsche Cayenne Coupe movie

    There it is. The best way to experience the all-new Porsche Cayenne Coupe. In full glorious “BurlappVision”. Just enjoy the most expensive “Turbo” model for a couple of minutes.

  • Chevrolet Camaro Track

    I have been driving this for a few days. I really did not expect to enjoy it that much since I don’t actually take cars on tracks. As I am more interested in daily drivers. But this is a lot of fun. Despite a few things, of course… (It is not for everyone) As usual,… Continue reading Chevrolet Camaro Track

  • 2020 Hyundai Sonata. In Yellow…

    That is one weird color.  Not sure if it will be available in the US or not. (why not…) The new Sonata still looks like a hatchback to me. (It should be) Otherwise, it seems really good looking.  No words yet on specs. But a plug-in hybrid version will come later, of course.

  • 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe

    Another nice looking Porsche. The design is not a surprise, after seeing so many spy shots and illustrations for so long. But it does look quite nice. I guess this is a new weird trend, making a sleeker version of SUVs and calling them coupes. Even weirder is the pricing, since this “Coupe” version is… Continue reading 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe
