Production interior of the VW SMV SUV
VW showed a concept called the SMV a while ago in China. Which was a preview for an all new SUV model based on the MQB platform. Now we get to see the interior of the actual production version. Which seems quite modern. And downright futuristic when compared to current VW interiors like the Atlas… Continue reading Production interior of the VW SMV SUV

2021 Hyundai Santa Cruz
While the prototypes are still under heavy camouflage, you can already tell the production version (top pic) of the Santa Cruz concept (bottom) will stay pretty close to the original design. The main change being the addition of full size rear doors. I think this could be quite a hit for Hyundai, if priced a… Continue reading 2021 Hyundai Santa Cruz

2021 VW T-Sport
That’s right, VW is preparing yet another small SUV/Crossover thing. This time it will be mostly for the Brazilian market. Although it could spread to other countries later. (mostly India and the rest of South America) It is mostly based on the same platform as the Polo. If so, it would basically be a raised… Continue reading 2021 VW T-Sport

2021 BMW 5 series
BMW will modify the 5 series for 2021. It will mostly get a new face. The way it is now, the 5 series, although quite bland, is one of BMW’s nicest looking car. Maybe just because the rest of its line up is so overdone and tacky. I wonder if the 5 will be getting… Continue reading 2021 BMW 5 series

Nissan Armada Sedan
This is basically what happens when you have too much money. You start spending it on BS still like turning a Nissan Armada into a sedan. This was built for a rich Arab Sheik. And it shows what a horrible idea it is to lower an Armada and add a trunk to it. It looks… Continue reading Nissan Armada Sedan

Chevrolet Silverado test drive.
The new Silverado is a very nice looking truck in person. I even like the rather weird wavy character line on the front fenders. And the front end doesn’t resemble a “wall of chrome” like on some other trucks. But overall, the look is still pretty generic for a full size pick up truck.… Continue reading Chevrolet Silverado test drive.

2021/22 Nissan Rogue Sport/Qashqai
The Qashqai is a very important model for Nissan in Europe. Where it is very popular. It is sold in the US as the “Rogue Sport”. (and not so popular here…) While smaller than the Rogue, it does share most of its interior. The picture above is just an illustration, but it shows a much… Continue reading 2021/22 Nissan Rogue Sport/Qashqai

2021 Kia Sorento Interior
This is so far the most revealing picture of the all new Kia Sorento SUV for 2021. I have to say, there is a bit too much chrome/satin silver trim for my taste. It doesn’t look good in BMWs and it doesn’t here either. I guess “looking upscale” means copying German designs these days. But… Continue reading 2021 Kia Sorento Interior

2021 Genesis G80 sedan
This could end up looking quite nice. Some of the previous photos and illustrations we had seen of the new G80 showed something that could be pretty boring. But this new picture looks pretty good and more dynamic. As previously mentioned, engines will now be 4 and 6 cylinders. No more V8. The base engine… Continue reading 2021 Genesis G80 sedan

All new Hyundai Aura
I was wrong about the new Aura in my previous post from a few days ago. It turned out to be a horrible looking car… Of course, this is a very inexpensive model mostly for the Indian market. Where a lot of tiny cars seem to have the same “tall, narrow with small wheels” proportions.… Continue reading All new Hyundai Aura

2021 Mercedes EQS illustration
Of course, the production version will not be as stunning looking as the concept we saw a few months ago (bellow) Still, this will be a large hatchback sedan that will be very tough competition to the Tesla Model S. Unlike the new Porsche Taycan. A much smaller car. Even though the Model S technology… Continue reading 2021 Mercedes EQS illustration

New contender for ugliest car in the word: Citroen C3L Sedan
The new sedan is based on the Chinese market Citroen 3-XR SUV. (bottom picture) So it is basically a sedan version of a raised hatchback. And it just looks so wrong… Since they did their based to keep cost down, the doors are the same on both models. Which makes for a very awkward D-pillar… Continue reading New contender for ugliest car in the word: Citroen C3L Sedan

Fisker Ocean “California Mode”
Here is what the “California Mode” looks like on the new Kisker Ocean electric SUV. It basically lowers all the windows with just one simple button. Which is pretty cool, I guess. Cool to see the rear side windows going down. Since it seems no none else is doing that. Here are a few more… Continue reading Fisker Ocean “California Mode”

New Hyundai Aura coming soon.
The new Aura will replace the Xcent small (tiny) sedan for the Indian market. While the Xcent looked more like a super cheap version of an old generation Accent, this new model looks quite stylish. Well, at least on these official exaggerated sketches. This is the current Xcent. The car that will be replaced by… Continue reading New Hyundai Aura coming soon.

Some new pictures of a new 2021 Kia Optima. All wet.
Of course, this design would have made a great looking hatchback. but no matter what, this is a very nice looking sedan. It is quite amazing how upscale it looks inside and out. Of course, the one pictured here is probably the top of the line. And that means something around $35 000.… Continue reading Some new pictures of a new 2021 Kia Optima. All wet.

Genesis GV80 interior
We have seen bits and pieces of it before, but this seems to be the best picture so far. It does show a more modern interior than the Lexus RX. And a simpler, cleaner one than what Acura is doing these days. But, as I mentioned before, the Lexus will be new in just over… Continue reading Genesis GV80 interior

Cruising Instagram…
Some interesting peaks at designs that never made it: – 1967 Illustration for a Ford Thunderbird. – Toyota Design department during work on the 2nd generation Celica. Interesting to see front end variations and even a wagon proposal… – The worst Supra I have ever seen… – A strangely super boring Ital Design proposal for… Continue reading Cruising Instagram…

2021 BMW M4
These are just illustrations, but both are pretty close to the horror that will be the real thing (pictured HERE) They are also both wrong. Since the huge grille on the production car doesn’t really have the same shape as in these illustrations. And there are no vents underneath. Etc… Still. There is no doubt… Continue reading 2021 BMW M4

More official news about the new Mini Cooper Electric
As you can see, the estimated EV range is now only 110 miles for the US market. Which is really not much… Even for the price. (the estimate for the US market used to be 114 miles) We also get more info about all 3 models available. Which are “Signature”, “Signature Plus” and “Iconic”. Options… Continue reading More official news about the new Mini Cooper Electric

New KIA logo.
I have to say, that it looks more like KLA to me than KIA. I guess it is good for Kia to get a new logo since their products are so different. And so much better than just a few years ago. I have to admit I never really noticed the current Kia logo, so… Continue reading New KIA logo.
