Most of those new cars are somewhere between Really Ugly and Absolutely Hideous. Does anybody use stylists any more?? If you think the front of that 2017 Civic is ugly, wait until you see its arse. And Swindon in Englandshire is going to be churning them out for you lucky folk in the US.

Separated at birth?

There's a hole right the way through that Discovery.

I like the Civic

However I do not like that new "vertical grille" style of Peugeot; I preferred the style of the last years, just before they started that

Is it me or this is just a Hyundai i20 with another badge and some different trim ?



The current Rio looks better and funkier than the new one, IMHO. Just like what happened to the Optima, but I'm biased there.

Also seen at the Paris Motor Show is the export version of the latest Suzuki Ignis, available next year in Europe and in Australia.



I quite like it.

I wish the stepped roof of the new Discovery was more pronounced, but I like they kept the asymmetrical rear:


On a completely different note, here's something interesting to keep an eye out for now that the Lincoln Town Car has left production. We already have a couple MKT hearses, but there's no reason Lincoln should have a monopoly:

1. K2 Vintage, a hearse based on the Buick Enclave

(they also do Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, and Mercedes-Benz Metris conversions)

2. MK Coach MK300, a hearse based on the Chrysler Town & Country

Surprised we have not had one of these from a German movie yet: http://www.whatvan.co.uk/news/2016/dhl-electric-vans-on-their-way-to-the-uk

BMW announced the new 2017 5-Series last week. Styling looks much like every other BMW sedan. They arrive in February.

A new make was presented yesterday. Developed and designed in Sweden as a sister make for Geely owned Volvo. Lynk & Co with the sexy model name 01.
It is to be produced in China with mostly Volvo components it seems.
To me it looks like any other bland SUV but with a front end that is a mix of Nissan Juke and Ford Mustang...

Volks sent me an e-mail not so long ago, which i forgot until doing some cleaning in there earlier today.. named Atlas, the new one will be put against SUVs like GMC Acadia and friends, Honda Pilot , Dodge Durango and Toyota Highlander. It will get in sale in may 2017 in Canada as a 2018







I don't know if US will have it before us but there is one already travelling on Arizona's highways

Looks like the " r " got scared of SUV and went to hide...

New Honda CR-V comes for 2017 and is now looking like HR-V's big brother... at least from the front...





More info & pics at http://www.motortrend.ca/en/news/2017-honda-cr-v-first-look-review/ ( didn't even knew MT had a Canada division... )

or directly from Honda

Subtle changes ( from the rear ) and a iM-inspired front end for the Corolla for 2017




Already in sale ( saw one a few days ago ) so will end up soon in front of the cameras, deliberately or not...
