Lexus CT: next generation illustration…
The Lexus CT is actually still in production until October. Although it hasn’t been sold in the US since 2017. It was basically replaced by the small UX SUV. Which, at least in the US, is much more popular than the CT ever was. (Although “popular” is relative with sales of just 17 581 units… Continue reading Lexus CT: next generation illustration…

Dongfeng Nano Box: the sub-$10 000 EV…
This “new” Chinese EV from Dongfeng isn’t exactly new. Since it is based on the super cheap Renault Kwid, already sold in a few countries around the world. AKA the Dacia Spring. So, not new. Not great looking either. But… under $10 000 for a claimed 205 miles range (Chinese testing cycle). Fast charging from… Continue reading Dongfeng Nano Box: the sub-$10 000 EV…

2024 KIA EV9 : new video…
The 2023 Kia EV9 electric SUV was just caught testing in Europe. Interesting to see it driving around. As expected, it does look pretty large. And a lot like the weirdo concept we saw last year at the Los Angeles Auto show. The concept was quite shocking in real life. And not in a good… Continue reading 2024 KIA EV9 : new video…

2023/24 Honda Accord: Vs. 2013 Ford Fusion…
This new illustration of the next-generation Honda Accord (2023 or 204 according to different sources.) does look a lot like a Ford Fusion. A design that came out 10 years ago. (with even less personality) I’m all for Honda making their designs cleaner. As they had gotten way too busy in the last few years.… Continue reading 2023/24 Honda Accord: Vs. 2013 Ford Fusion…

2024 Nissan Maxima EV: could it be?
These photos aren’t new. They are from over a year ago. But it’s pretty easy to notice the car way in the back. Some semi-covered clay model. Or so it seems. People are now speculating it could be the next-generation Nissan Maxima. Reborn as an EV. I’ve been thinking for years that Nissan’s only hope… Continue reading 2024 Nissan Maxima EV: could it be?

MG Cyberster: new teasers…
MG, an old British brand that was known for cool sports cars will probably end up being the first one to come up with a soft top convertible EV. The Cyberster doesn’t really look like an old MG. And MG isn’t the “old MG” anyway. Since it belongs to the Chinese manufacturer SAIC. Still, this… Continue reading MG Cyberster: new teasers…

2023 Toyota Crown: earlier design sketches…
I think these are great. Of course, it’s always a bit depressing to see these super cool earlier design ideas. For any car. In the case of the new Toyota Crown, these look much better than the actual production model. As usual. Especially the 3rd and 4th photos. These look very realistic and show a… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: earlier design sketches…

2023/24 Jeep Jeepster: Vs. the “concept”…
The new small Jeep Jeepster EV will apparently look exactly like the concept we saw a few months ago. Which wasn’t a real concept but a preview of the production model. (The only difference I can see is the black paint on the hood of the concept) It is rumored to be based on… Continue reading 2023/24 Jeep Jeepster: Vs. the “concept”…

2023 Toyota Crown: meet the new family…
Last night, Toyota not only introduced a new Crown for 2023, but a whole new lineup of cars that will wear the Crown name. The one on the left is the one we will be getting in the US this fall. Called “Crossover Type”. Which is really wrong since it still has a small sedan-type… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: meet the new family…

2023 Toyota Crown: the Japanese version…
These photos of the Japanese version of the new 2023 Toyota Crown show us some different interior color combos. Which are (IMO) better than the all-black shown earlier. And it does look quite upscale and luxurious. Pretty much Lexus-like.

2023 Toyota Crown: official photos…
21 inch whee Toyota has just unveiled the US version of the all-new Toyota Crown. Good news. And bad… – The Crown does look quite nice. 3 versions will be available, XLE, Premium, and Platinum (with the black hood) – Standard Hybrid with new “Hybrid Max” optional. – Standard AWD. – Hybrid Max (340HP) standard… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: official photos…

2023 Toyota Crown: early official photo…
As expected from the teasers, the all-new 2023 Toyota Crown looks like the patent designs we saw earlier. A raised-up large hatchback sedan that will be marketed as a cross between a sedan and an SUV. Early specs also mentioned a 2.4 Liter Turbo or a 2.5 Liter Hybrid. Which sounds exactly like almost all… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: early official photo…

Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Concept: how to make things worse…
It’s no secret Hyundai is indeed working on a sportier N version of the new Ioniq 6 EV sedan. And they are (almost) ready to sho wus a concept That concept also shows us how truly ugly Hyundai Ioniq 6 can be. Vents, spoilers, huge wheels, etc… Nothing has been spared to produce a truly… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Concept: how to make things worse…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new photos…
Since it is based on the Ioniq5/EV6, the new 2023 Hyundai IOniq 6 sedan has very similar specs. It uses the same battery packs as the Ioniq 5. Although the eneregy consumption is less. the long-range variant is expected to be rated at 379 miles in its home market. Which will be less in the… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new photos…

Cadillac Celestiq Concept: new teasers…
These new teasers almost show the whole thing. And the Cadillac Celestiq will no doubt be an impressive machine. But, it’s a concept. Sure, the production version of the Lyriq ended up looking the same as the concept. Which could happen here too. As far as the design goes, I think it’s really gutsy of… Continue reading Cadillac Celestiq Concept: new teasers…

2023 Toyota Crown: new teaser…
We’re not learning much from this about the upcoming Toyota Crown. Except that we are now pretty sure it will have headlights. And at least one version will be offered with a black hood. Otherwise, that big black grille does look pretty fake already and filled up…

2023/24 Honda Accord: Vs. the current generation…
Just like the Civic, the next-generation Accord will be a cleaner design than the current model. Although, unlike the Civic, it looks like the Accord will still have some personality. I still really like the current design. The new one seems a lot softer but still looks really good, at least to me. Especially since… Continue reading 2023/24 Honda Accord: Vs. the current generation…

2023 Honda CR-V: early photos…
Honda has only released official photos of the Sport Touring version of the all-new 2023 CR-V. Showing its intention to make the CR-V look a bit more outdoorsy. Which is kind of ridiculous. Since no matter what, this won’t look like a Ford Bronco. I also think it doesn’t match what people want in a… Continue reading 2023 Honda CR-V: early photos…

Next-generation Hyundai Kona: showing its face…
Not sure if this is brand new, but I hadn’t seen it before. The top pic actually shows most of the front end of the next-generation Hyundai Kona. As we’ve seen before, the whole thing seems more angular. And these lights and that front end in general do remind me of the new Kia Niro. … Continue reading Next-generation Hyundai Kona: showing its face…

2023 Toyota Crown: teaser pix Vs.patent designs…
Well… It looks like these patent designs published a few weeks ago was the real thing after all. I mean everything matches the new teaser photos. Right down to the weirdo 2-tone paint job. The lower part of the hatch might look a bit strange in black. But at least, it’s glossy and not… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: teaser pix Vs.patent designs…
