Nothing new....

Thanks Volvo!

NOT a BMW: Chinese Jinbei Haixing X30 Van


This is quite amazing.
Jinbei Haixing is a subsidiary of Brilliance. Which is BMW's partner in China.
So they just think it's OK to splatter BMW details all over their assy X30 van, I guess.

The grille, headlights, fog lights. There is even a BMW feel in the tail lights.
And look at the lettering used in the back.

They are ripping off their own business partner!


Volvo teaser video


Here is the official video teaser from Volvo.
Still hard to tell what it is...

We'll know soon enough since the reveal is tomorrow.

"Small overlap" test results: Scary...


Pretty bad results for everyone here. Except Mitsubishi and Subaru.

I am also surprised that this type of crash represents only 25% of injuries. It would seem that most crashes don't involve the whole front end...

New Volvo teaser. What is it???

 So Volvo just released this thing. Which will be unveiled in just a few days. But what is it?
 Sharpening the picture doesn't help much...
Most people seem to think this is just the 2014 XC60 pictured above. The one with a new front end.

But the teaser does look a bit different up front. And the rear quarter window doesn't seem to have the exact same shape.
Does it look big enough to be the all new XC90?

What do you think???

2014 S-Class: the back seat.



I have to say this is pretty sumptuous. Or borderline ridiculous, depending how you see it....

Finally the real thing: 2014 mercedes S-Class





Here it is. Real and better pictures of the all new big Mercedes sedan.
Which is pretty bland and to me, doesn't look more modern than the current one. Which I always liked.

Remember when the S-Class would stand out because it looks so modern and different?
 Like the 1st one actually called the S Class. That came out in 1972.
You can still see many of them around. And many were used as "rich bad guys" cars in 70's TV shows.
That car looked so modern and different than what came before it.

Not anymore....
