4-door Chevrolet Corvette.
Last year there were a few rumors about GM creating a Corvette “Sub-brand”, which could have included a sedan as well as an SUV. As we know, nothing has happened since and there has been no new word on such a blasphemous vehicle being planned. However, this would pretty much follow what Porsche did years… Continue reading 4-door Chevrolet Corvette.

2025 Mercedes CLA.
The top image shows a prototype of the next-generation Mercedes CLA sedan. And so far, it seems like a sad joke… The red car is the CLA Concept we saw a few months ago. The concept was an EV with a range of over 460 miles. And so far, it looks like Mercedes is having… Continue reading 2025 Mercedes CLA.

Lincoln Town Car.
While there is no sign Lincoln is working on a new Town Car, this shouldn’t stop anyone from trying to figure out what a new one would look like. The one pictured above would also be a bit reminiscent of the early Lincoln Continental. A bit of a retro yet modern design. For a large… Continue reading Lincoln Town Car.

Acura Legend.
We know Acura has an all-new EV SUV coming next year, previewed by the Performance EV Concept last August. But how about a new EV sedan? Something that could actually be a new Acura Legend? The first generation Acura Legend came out back in 1985. It was Honda’s first car to use a V6. And… Continue reading Acura Legend.

Visiting the Petersen “Vault”.
The Petersen Car Museum opened in Los Angeles 30 years ago. It has been a really cool place for car lovers of ages to spend time ever since. Something I didn’t know about until recently, was the Petersen “vault”. that place downstairs where for some reason, the museum stores what are maybe their coolest cars.… Continue reading Visiting the Petersen “Vault”.

2026 Toyota Previa.
It seems Toyota has been working on a new generation of the Estima Minivan, which was known as the Previa in the US decades ago. The Toyota Previa was sold over here from 1990 to 1997. Although it was available overseas until 2000. When it was replaced by a second generation we never had in… Continue reading 2026 Toyota Previa.

2026 Toyota RAV4.
It seems there are more and more leaks about the next-generation Toyota RAV4 every week these days. I remember this happening with the 2024 Prius. And that was just a few weeks before its official unveiling. Which means we could see the new RAV4 any day now. Again, this new spy shot seems to show… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV4.

2026 Jeep Compass.
The illustrations above try to guess what the next-generation Jeep Compass could look like. These have obviously been done following Jeep’s official teaser from a few weeks ago. And they do look quite realistic. However, many elements like the rear door and rear side windows are different in the 2 views of the car. The… Continue reading 2026 Jeep Compass.

Lincoln Continental.
The illustration above shows what a next-generation Lincoln Continental sedan could look like. If parent company Ford was still producing sedans that is… And if they had finally got their act together and had a decent new large EV platform to compete with various Cadillac models. This looks more in line with later Continental models… Continue reading Lincoln Continental.

2026 VW Atlas.
These are photos of the Chinese market version of the VW Atlas, the Teramont. I did post photos of the new Teramont a while ago, but apparently, these are images of the cheaper and less powerful “Pro” model. Which by the way is such a weird and misleading way to call your base model. “Pro”… Continue reading 2026 VW Atlas.

Xiaomi YU7 SUV.
Smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi launched its first car, the SU7 EV sedan just a few months ago. Now we have the first photos of the SUV version called the YU7. Xiaomi isn’t just “another Chinese brand”. Since it is already the world’s second-largest smartphone manufacturer, behind Samsung, with over 10% of the market. The SU7 EV… Continue reading Xiaomi YU7 SUV.

Tesla Model Q.
Today we have yet another rumor about a future smaller and cheaper Tesla model. Which would now be called the “Model Q”. According to Carscoops, this new report is the result of a Deutsche Bank report mentioning the new Tesla model, and the name “Model Q”. Tesla was working on a smaller and cheaper model… Continue reading Tesla Model Q.

Chrysler’s future now…
The 2 illustrations above show what Chrysler‘s future planned products might look like. One is an EV SUV based on the Jeep Wagoneer S. The other is a next-generation Chrysler EV Pacific minivan. But will these ever see the light of day? Stelantis CEO Carlos Tavares had mentioned more than once that all their brands… Continue reading Chrysler’s future now…

“Bob’s Big Boy”car show.
For as long as I can remember, the local Bob’s Big Boy restaurant in Burbank has been hosting a vintage car show every Friday. Not always great, but never really bad either. Last Friday was actually closer to bad than good. Not that many great cars and more than a serving of local obnoxious older… Continue reading “Bob’s Big Boy”car show.

2026 Toyota RAV4. Vs current model.
Comparing the prototype 2026 Toyota RAV4 to the current model is pretty hard under all that camouflage. Previous photos suggested an all-new design. But this particular photo shows it could also be a heavy refresh of the recurrent generation. The glass area and A-pillar all seem very similar to the current RAV4. However, the rearview… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV4. Vs current model.

2026 Hyundai Palisade.
Here are more, and especially better, photos of the new 2nd-generation Hyundai Palisade for 2026. Of course, many will compare its design with an older generation Range Rover. Just like some were comparing the 2024 Santa Fe to the Land Rover Defender. However, that mostly disappears when you see the Hyundai Santa Fe in person.… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Palisade.

Mercedes EV problem.
Mercedes has a big problem with their current EV lineup. While the top 2 images show what a future Mercedes compact EV sedan and SUV could look like, the 2 spy shots show what’s actually coming in the real world. And all I see is even more problems for Mercedes. While EV sales in the… Continue reading Mercedes EV problem.

Future Cadillac Fleetwood video.
Why not dream a bit and imagine what a new-generation Cadillac Fleetwood could look like? In a world without the new Celestiq, the Fleetwood would be the largest Cadillac sedan available, for much less. It would probably have to be priced at under $100, 000 to be competitive against the Mercedes EQS or the ghastly… Continue reading Future Cadillac Fleetwood video.
-
2026 Hyundai Palisade.
Here it is, finally! The all-new second-generation Hyundai Palisade. I do think the new Palisade looks much better than most illustrations we have seen over the past few months. Even if these early photos aren’t the best. And 100 times better than the current generation. While the exterior is mostly what we expected, the front… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Palisade.

Cadillac EV pickup.
This is what is scientifically referred to as: “a no brainer”. A Cadillac version of the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra EV would be an obvious move for GM’s luxury brand. So obvious that I cannot really see it not happening soon. Cadillac already has the new Escalade IQ. A longer version of the IQ is also… Continue reading Cadillac EV pickup.
