The Kia Rio is a subcompact car with model versions running since 2000. It was put in the market as an affordable smaller hatchback, for all countries Kia resides in. In 2016, the Rio was in its third generation, so the model versions have quite the longevity. However, the 2017 Kia Rio received a thorough redesigning and is probably good to go again for the upcoming couple of years. The familiar Rio appearance remains intact, although Kia spiced it up…
The 2016 Paris Motor Show was the perfect occasion for Hyundai to reveal their brand new i30 model. The compact hatchback is a definition in the automotive world and is one of the brand’s best-selling models. Although SUVs are the most popular type of car nowadays, smaller hatchbacks are much better sold, due to their relatively friendlier price. The 2017 Hyundai i30 has now been revealed and sports tighter looks than its predecessor. Also, the inside brings us many great…

The 2017 Ford GT is the widely anticipated Ford-produced supercar that is going to make heads turn and eyes bulge. The 2017 Ford GT is a modernized remake of the 1966 Ford GT40. That one got famous for winning the Paris Le Mans for four years in a row, leaving all others behind. Even the favourite Ferrari couldn’t keep up. Now, Ford has redesigned their pride and joy for 2017 markets with matching specs. Think of an engine that tops…
The Japanese Infiniti is moving up on the ladder of luxury coupes with their new 2017 Infiniti Q60 coupe. The design team has been working hard and long on this one and the result is a refreshing, slightly odd luxury two-door. Forget the “rule” that coupes are an almost exact copy of their four-door counterparts. It’s true sedans are usually more popular among the public and get more attention in the production process, but the coupe is catching up. For…
The Geneva Motor Show earlier this year was the podium on which the new Volkswagen Phideon was presented. Volkswagen had some rough years due to “dieselgate”, but still managed to release some new models for the 2017 model year. One of those is the 2017 Volkswagen Phideon, a sedan that is higher priced than the VW Passat. The VW Phideon name is a derivation from the Roman goddess of trust and good faith Fides. According to Volkswagen the name should…
Especially noteworthy about the new Fusion is that it’s available in many trims with a range of optional powertrains. With a gasoline engine of course, but also as a hybrid electric vehicle. The Fusion has a friendly starting price, but can be configured as a premium luxury vehicle as well. Then, even a powerful V6 engine is optional, greatly played by Ford to pull a larger public toward the 2017 Ford Fusion. So, 2017 will be a game changing year…
Buick’s Avenir concept car that was released in 2015, set the expectations for upcoming 2017 Buick Lacrosse very high. The Avenir had great exterior and interior styling and looked like a great flagship sedan. We were a little disappointed when no moves were made at Buick to extend the Avenir to something beyond just a concept car. Luckily, many successful design cues from the Avenir are starting to make their way onto other Buick models. That also happened with the…
