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

New Lexus model coming up…
Lexus will show an all-new model in China on April 16th. But what is it??? From the logo pictured above, we know it will be a hybrid. Or at least something that comes in a hybrid version. What could it be? A replacement for the CT? New GX SUV? New LX SUV? New IS? Something… Continue reading New Lexus model coming up…

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

Just a few more pictures of the 2020 Buick lacrosse for China
This really was a case of a good car getting even better. Which is too bad GM decided to close down the plant where it was made for the US market. This was probably a last minute decision to save some cash before the end of the year. Since this facelift was obviously planned a while ago. … Continue reading Just a few more pictures of the 2020 Buick lacrosse for China

2020 Lincoln Corsair video teaser
As we already know, the all-new MKC will be actually called the Corsair. Which is great news. Lincoln saw the mistake of these stupid names and had the guts to change it. Unlike Cadillac. The Corsair will be based on the all-new Ford Escape, but with its own design. Which, as you can see HERE,… Continue reading 2020 Lincoln Corsair video teaser

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

How about even more pictures of the new 2020 Hyundai Sonata
This looks better and better every time I look at it. Let’s just hope the materials are up to the fantastic design. I also hope the engines (heavily revised versions of the current ones) are as refined as the car looks. I would say this could be very bad news fo the Accord and Mazda… Continue reading How about even more pictures of the new 2020 Hyundai Sonata

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 Ford Escape right here next week.
Just got invited a few days ago to see the all new 2020 Ford Escape in person next week. I will be reporting on it, with pictures and videos as well. So far, we know it pretty much shares its interior with the European 2019 Ford Focus (not sold here anymore) And there will be… Continue reading 2020 Ford Escape right here next week.

Mazda CX-3 test drive coming up…
Just got this really cute Mazda CX-3 for a week, And as usual, will report on it soon. It is a loaded Grand Touring model with Premium package. Just drove it around town for a few miles. So far, this is a really cute and super good looking thing. But that engine is super loud… Continue reading Mazda CX-3 test drive coming up…

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

Chevrolet Camaro 2.0 Liter Track package test drive.
I have always been a fan of the current Camaro design. Sure, it does have some drawbacks in daily driving, like a major lack of visibility (more on that later), But it does look good. I am not a fan of black wheels, spoilers etc.. But this track model I drove for a week actually looked… Continue reading Chevrolet Camaro 2.0 Liter Track package test drive.

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

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

GM finally prepares an all-new Bolt-based EV
GM just announced they are investing an extra $300 million to produce an all-new Chevrolet EV model based on an “advanced version” of the Bolt platform. “Advanced version” is probably a code word for “slightly larger”… Which is great. The picture above was shown by GM about 2 years ago. So it would make sense… Continue reading GM finally prepares an all-new Bolt-based EV

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.

Upcoming versions of the new 2020 Hyundai Sonata
Just like the current model, the new Hyundai Sonata will be available as a sportier Turbo option. Or a Hybrid version. It looks like the base engine will be the 2.0 Liter. The current model has a larger 2.4 Liter engine in most models. Except fot the Limited version with its 2.0 Liter Turbo. The… Continue reading Upcoming versions of the new 2020 Hyundai Sonata
