2025 Mazda CX-5.
The top image is, “alegedly”, the first photo of the next-generation Mazda CX-5 for 2026. If real, it doesn’t look like good news to me. Just another proof that Mazda seems to be stuck in a design rot, and is having a hard time getting out of it. The Mazda CX-50 was an almost refreshing… Continue reading 2025 Mazda CX-5.

All-new Nissan Leaf.
To say the new Nissan Leaf is an improvement over the previous generation is a huge understatement. It is a giant leap. As it should be. Since the current model came out in 2017.

2026 Audi Q3.
These early images of the “all-new” Audi Q3 for 2026 show what has become the usual Audi recipe for new cars. Which is basically, “Make sure it doesn’t look too new”. It is a sophisticated yet diabolical blend of the previous generation and newer Audi designs. Which ensures the new car doesn’t really look new.… Continue reading 2026 Audi Q3.

Subaru Brat.
Of all cars that would be considered for a “comeback from the dead,” the Subaru Brat must have been last on many people’s lists. And yet, here we are.
