Production is being evaluated for our Canton, Mississippi, facility. The return of Xterra would represent a strategic… Continue reading Nissan Xterra will be back for 2028.

2027 Honda Pilot.
These new illustrations are trying hard to guess what the mid-cycle facelift for the Honda Pilot could look like. Which is due next year for the 2027 model year. And they are probably very close to the real thing. Unfortunately, Honda is known for these useless mid-cycle refreshes. In some cases, like the Honda Civic,… Continue reading 2027 Honda Pilot.

Is VW working on a Jetta PHEV?
It sure looks like it. At least for the Chinese market… Our North American VW Jetta is in trouble, and I’m not sure a PHEV option could save it. While sales were up a bit last year, with over 47,000 of them sold, the current generation hasn’t been a bit hit. Back in 2019, that… Continue reading Is VW working on a Jetta PHEV?

How about a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ for North America?
Toyota recently revealed its long-awaited compact Land Cruiser FJ. However, it was quickly obvious the new truck would not make it to our shores. It will be built in Thailand starting next year and will be exported to a few Asian countries, Latin America, and the Middle East. but not here or in Europe. I… Continue reading How about a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ for North America?

Nissan Frontier adds a PHEV model to the Frontier pickup..
Yes, they did. But this new Nissan Frontier PHEV is not the same vehicle as our North American Frontier pickup, and it’s not coming over here any time soon. This new Nissan truck is based on the Nissan Dongfeng Z9 shown in the bottom image. A Chinese pickup built for Nissan in China by its partner,… Continue reading Nissan Frontier adds a PHEV model to the Frontier pickup..

2026 Nissan Pathfinder changes.
As you can see from the images above, the Nissan Pathfinder SUV is getting a few changes for the 2026 model year. I guess it has been a pretty popular model for Nissan with very decent numbers. Since they sold almost 75,000 of them in the US last year. Of course, even 75,000 is far… Continue reading 2026 Nissan Pathfinder changes.

A new hybrid version will be available as well as regular gas. Production of the new model will have to wait until August next year. The new Kia… Continue reading 2027 Kia Seltos.

Does Lincoln need a new sedan?
I’d say yes. But that’s only because Lincoln needs something, anything. Ford’s luxury brand now only sells SUVs, and nothing new is on the horizon. So yes, a new Zephyr sedan could be good news. Lincoln does build and sell a sedan, called the Lincoln Z. That car used to be called the Zephyr, but… Continue reading Does Lincoln need a new sedan?

Is the Mazda 2 coming back?
The illustration above shows what a next-generation Mazda 2 compact could look like. In this particular case, it would look like a production version of the recent Vision X Compact Concept we just saw a few weeks ago. Something that is very unlikely to happen. Mazda never said much about the concept. This was eclipsed… Continue reading Is the Mazda 2 coming back?

Should Jaguar have second thoughts about the 00 Sedan?
Should the Jaguar brand reconsider their drastic upcoming re-imagining of the brand? The future success of Jaguar will be in the hands of one of the most controversial car designs in history, which is a huge gamble. While the Tesla Cybertruck ended up being a flop (About 20,000 sold a year instead of the “over… Continue reading Should Jaguar have second thoughts about the 00 Sedan?

Discover the new 2027 Mercedes GLB Interior.
Mercedes just released some official photos of the all-new 2027 GLB Interior. I guess they’re not ready to show us the exterior yet for some reason. And of course, it is the exact same interior as the CLA sedan (2nd image) we just saw a few months ago. And very similar to the one in… Continue reading Discover the new 2027 Mercedes GLB Interior.

VW should revive their icon.
VW has said many times that the Beetle was dead. And this time it’s for good. However… It seems more and more new European compact EVs are cashing in on the original design of their ancestors. The most obvious being the all-new Renault Twingo EV. Which is not hiding its 1992 roots from the first-generation… Continue reading VW should revive their icon.

Should Chrysler revive the 300 sedan?
I am not talking about the classic old “letter series” Chrysler three hundred. What we are talking about here is the more recent Chrysler 300 produced for 2 generations, from 2004 to 2023. A sister car to the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Dodge Magnum during these years. These cars were originally based on the RWD… Continue reading Should Chrysler revive the 300 sedan?

Is Mitsubishi working on a new Lancer Evolution?
It seems some people at Mitsubishi really want to see a next-generation of the legendary Lancer Evolution. Which might be nice, but pretty hard to do. The Evolution was based on the Mitsubishi Lancer. A compact sedan that was, back in the day, competing against cars like the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. Just… Continue reading Is Mitsubishi working on a new Lancer Evolution?

Is this the next Honda Fit?
Yes, the Honda Fit is still around. In many countries around the world. And a next generation could be around the corner, since the current one came out in 2019. The Fit was sold in the US from 2001 to 2022. It had been pretty popular for many years and had accumulated a big following… Continue reading Is this the next Honda Fit?

New 2027 Kia Telluride. Blunt or ghaslty?
I’d say it’s both. Of course, the shape of the new Kia Telluride is pretty blunt. It looks like a big block of something with almost zero personality or shape. But it’s also quite ghastly, in my humble and totally unprofessional opinion. There is really no excuse for a front end looking ike this in… Continue reading New 2027 Kia Telluride. Blunt or ghaslty?

Should Cadillac offer a wagon again?
We’ve all heard that GM will indeed bring a next-generation CT5 sedan with a gas engine to Cadillac showrooms. However, that probably won’t happen for a couple of years. I personally think one way to make the next-generation CT5 stand out would be to add a wagon to the lineup. Of course, “wagon” is still… Continue reading Should Cadillac offer a wagon again?

Nissan could be working on a new Sports Coupe.
As we all know, Nissan is in deep trouble, as it has been for a while. However, they have been introducing many new models. Including the new Leaf, Murano, and Sentra. And more are on the way, like a brand new Rogue and an Infiniti sedan. Ivan Espimosa has been mentioning multiple times a new… Continue reading Nissan could be working on a new Sports Coupe.

Could this help Chrysler ?
Chrysler is in trouble and has been for years. The illustration above shows what a crazy idea for the revival of the old brand could look like. In the form os a very luxurious new Chrysler Imperial Convertible. The new Dodge Charger proves that the STLA platform can produce a very good-looking new large American… Continue reading Could this help Chrysler ?

Is GM still working on a Corvette SUV ?
There have been rumors about a Chevrolet Corvette SUV since at least 2021. At that time, it was mentioned that a new, raised-up 4-door model with a Corvette name would be based on the Ultium platform. Like pretty much everything GM was planning back then. Until now. GM has slightly changed course lately. but mentioning… Continue reading Is GM still working on a Corvette SUV ?
