As with all good things, there comes a time when a refresh is needed. And so is the case with BMW‘s venerable 5 Series. And subtlety rules the day. The changes are so minute, you may miss them. Mostly confined to the headlights, and small changes in the interior, you have to be a real afficiado to detect them. They basically keep the Fiver up with BMW’s latest design and technology. So, for illustrative purposes, I have chosen to showcase the changes on the 5 Series Touring ( station wagon ), a model they don’t let us Americans have. That is so just like me….

Ah, the French. Nobody does it better. At least when it come to styling. Take for instance, this RENAULT CAPTUR, the french automaker’s version of the Nissan Juke. Infinitely more attractive than the Juke, and certainly more desirable. Sadly, as with all French vehicles, it is not for our consumption. Enjoy it here.

As mentioned a few posts back, I am a fan of VW’s Euro only brand, SKODA. I think it would make a great addition to the US market place as a premium ( not Luxury) brand for those here looking for Euro style and build, but a bit more niche than the average Volkswagen. I am still waiting for VW’s headquarter’s call, so in the meantime, let me introduce you to the SKODA YETI. A very cool baby crossover that not only looks like nothing on the road, but can actually venture off the road – lightly. Perfect for that trail up the mountain, or getting out of the snow. It looks purposeful, has VW’s fit and finish, and would be a different and possibly more upscale alternative to the Subaru Forester – the obvious choice, but also a whole raft of small crossovers. I’m telling you, this could work…

By now, you have read the info, and know what to expect: The new MERCEDES BENZ S CLASS is a state of the art tour de force, as always. We have seen the interiors, know all about the dual 12 inch screens that make up the dash, we know that there exists no light bulbs on the car – everything is LED, and we know this flagship will define cars into the next century. What we haven’t seen, is the sheer understated beauty this timeless design provides. Elegant, sophisticated and understated are words thrown around in the auto industry easily, but here, in this new model, is the purist form of the definition.
