Well it seems like its been awhile since we heard anything about DS Motors, but today it seems that they are still alive and kicking.  Sure their not making any major changes to the automotive market, like they once did, but they are still turning heads and making a difference.  Today DS has decided to grace our screens with the all new DS3 Cossback. Sure we all know the DS3 is a great hatchback, but in this ever changing CUV marketplace it was inevitable before we saw that great hatch morph into a CUV. 

   Well it wasn't that long ago the Mercedes-Benz changed the luxury market forever when the released the original M-Class.  Sure that model has grown and changed over the years, but its heart and soul has never changed.  Being that MB has changed many things over the years it was inevitable that soon enough it would change the name of its once great CUV. 

      It may seem that all not that long ago their lived an American car company who made people sit at the edge of their seats when they released a new model.  These days that same company gets no one to sit at the edge, hell they don't really get people sitting anymore.  Most of us these days don't really care about the 3rd American automotive brand Chrysler. 

      Well it seems that these days only improving on what is great is the best that we get.  When you consider that the replacement for the Veyron is only a minor rework on the exterior to help it secure a longer life.  Yes we are saying that the Chiron is more of a disappointment than a blessing.  Seems that someone at VW must have cut the budget on the Veyron replacement and made the whole focus on speed and power.  For this we are rather discouraged about the outcome.

      Found something odd while taking a look at the SEMA and Geneva auto shows.  It seems that Chevrolet is on a path to ruin Dodge's brand identity.  Why might you ask that we are saying this.  Well take a look at the new Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport and you may see the Dodge logo on the side of the hood.

      Seems that the Chinese maybe invading the home of FCA.  No its not a political or commercial invasion, but an automotive design language which is invading the home of FCA.  This is now becoming apparent in their new models, as some of their past releases are borrowing the design language of other auto makers.  You can see this with three new models from Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Chrysler.  Sure we know that FCA is having issues with product releases, but borrowing others designs is something that is not right.
