Honda Civic Hybrid hatchback video.
Why don’t you join me and watch this short, but hopefully sweet, video of the hatchback version of the new Honda Civic Hybrid? Despite a few flaws (and who doesn’t have any…), the Civic Hybrid is an excellent choice. It drives very well. It is comfortable and has a wonderful powertrain. It also has a… Continue reading Honda Civic Hybrid hatchback video.

2026 Nissan Sentra.
These new spy shots show a redesigned Nissan Sentra sedan prototype caught in Brazil. By the end of this year, the Sentra will be the “last man standing” of the Nissan sedan team. Since both the Altima and Versa will not see 2026. It’s hard to say from these photos if the 2026 Sentra will… Continue reading 2026 Nissan Sentra.

Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
This illustration shows what a new 21st-century large 2-door Cadillac Coupe DeVille would look like. This is a complement to the Sedan DeVille post a few days ago. While GM is probably not working on a new 2-door Cadillac model, we already know 2 all-new sedans based on a revised version of the Ultium platform… Continue reading Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

2026 Compact Tesla.
Another day another rumor of a new cheaper Tesla model coming “soon”. The last time we heard about something like this was late last year, just a few months ago. It was then rumored to be launched in the first half of 2025 and cost under $30,000. Even though Elon Musk had previously called a… Continue reading 2026 Compact Tesla.

Honda Civic Hybrid hatchback test drive.
For 2025, Honda made a few exterior changes to the Civic. None of these really improved the car at all. The current generation design looks OK. However, in my uninformed and unprofessional opinion, it never looked as good as the previous generation… That new huge, and mostly fake, lower plastic grille/trim thing doesn’t help things… Continue reading Honda Civic Hybrid hatchback test drive.

Lincoln Continental Convertible.
This is a look at what a next-generation Lincoln Continental convertible could look like. And yes, it has only two doors. While it might seem quite blasphemous to most classic Continental fans, it seems a new large 2-door convertible could still make sense in the 21st century. Of course, there is not even a rumor… Continue reading Lincoln Continental Convertible.

Cheaper Tesla Model Y coming.
It looks like sales of the revised Tesla Model Y aren’t as great as previously reported. Tesla‘s short term answer will be to offer a cheaper version later this year. At least for the local market, the cheaper Model Y will keep most of its mechanical features intact like the battery and powertrain. But some… Continue reading Cheaper Tesla Model Y coming.

Chrysler Le Baron Convertible
The illustration above shows what a new-generation Chrysler LeBaron convertible could look like. Something based on the STLA Medium or STLA Large platform would be a great way to help relaunch the Chrysler brand in the US. Chrysler‘s CEO also recently mentioned that all future Chryslers will be inspired by the Halcion concept It would… Continue reading Chrysler Le Baron Convertible

2027 Hyundai Elantra.
The current generation Hyundai Elantra came out back in 2020. It received a “mid-cycle facelift” about 2 years ago. A new generation is rumored to come sometime next year. Over the years, the Elantra has become and very modern-looking sedan. There is now a rumor from Korea about the next generation’s design being influenced by… Continue reading 2027 Hyundai Elantra.
-
2026 Toyota RAV4.
Another day, another new photo of a 2026 Toyota RAV4 prototype driving around. This time we get to see a little bit more of the headlight design. But also the black trim around the wheels that is still, of course, covered up by all that camouflage. It also seems like Toyota has made zero effort… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV4.
-
2026 Mercedes CLA.
Mercedes finally unveiled the production version of the 2023 CLA concept. And of course, when compared to the concept, the production model is missing a few things. Especially, something called “personality”. No matter how many little “Mercedes Star” logos you add everywhere, it never makes up for a total lack of personality in the design.… Continue reading 2026 Mercedes CLA.
-
Toyota Crown Estate.
If this new Toyota for the Japanese market looks familiar, that’s because it is. This Toyota wagon has been sold in the US as the Toyota Crown Signia since last year. For various reasons, it was delayed in Japan and is just coming out today. Or about 3 years after we saw the concept. As… Continue reading Toyota Crown Estate.
-
Pontiac Solstice.
While the Pontiac brand is no longer with us, it seems the Solstice is still on many people’s minds. A rebirth of GM’s affordable 2-seater could actually be great news to many. I test-drove the Pontiac Solstice for a whole week many years ago. And I have to say this was one of the most… Continue reading Pontiac Solstice.

2026 BMW 3 series.
BMW has just released a few official photos of their upcoming all-new 3-series sedan for 2026. Of course, these are still camouflaged prototypes. While we just saw BMW‘s new “Vision Driving Experience”, these new spy shots are showing us the real next-generation BMW 3 series sedan. It seems like a cross between the Neue Klasse… Continue reading 2026 BMW 3 series.

New Toyota C-HR +
The all-new Toyota C-HR + is not related to the 2nd generation Toyota C-HR that has been on sale in Europe for a couple of years. It is the production version of the cool BZ Compact SUV concept we saw at the Los Angeles auto show back in 2022. I think Toyota did a pretty… Continue reading New Toyota C-HR +
-
Chevrolet Corvette SUV.
There has been rumors of a Chevrolet Corvette SUV for the past couple of years. This is probably a very tempting project for GM. As Chevrolet could charge quite a premium for a new SUV with the Corvette name. Such an idea wouldn’t be that blasphemous anymore since the Porsche Cayenne, Aston Martin DBX and… Continue reading Chevrolet Corvette SUV.

Jaguar Type 00 Concept in the wild.
Forget everything you previously thought about the new Jaguar concept. This thing looks amazing in the real world. Last December, the new Jaguar Type 00 concept was unveiled in Miami with super cheesy pink and greenish colors. The real thing in a new “French Ultramarine” made a surprise appearance in Paris for Fashion Week a… Continue reading Jaguar Type 00 Concept in the wild.
-
Morgan SuperSport.
The new Morgan SuperSport is a tough car to describe. It is one of the most charming things I’ve seen in years, but also probably one of the ugliest. The general shape is of course typical Morgan. With classic design cues we’ve seen for decades, and that’s all great and refreshing. Especially in our sad… Continue reading Morgan SuperSport.
-
Cadillac XLR.
I’ve posted illustrations of a possible next-generation Cadillac XLR before. These were a 2 seater convertible and a 2 seater coupe. Since the original model was a 2 seater hard top convertible. However, the coupe and convertible market is all but dead these days. And the 2-seater convertible is currently an extremely small niche. Except… Continue reading Cadillac XLR.
-
2026 Mercedes CLA.
The red car at the bottom 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 quite a bit of trouble making the production version as good-looking as the concept. Which, while being pretty… Continue reading 2026 Mercedes CLA.
