Ford Thunderbird.
It seems Ford is way too busy turning out one SUV after another to even think of something as wonderful as a new Thunderbird. And of course, who can really blame them? This is a business, after all, and they do need to make money. And yet, they totally abandoned cars a few years ago,… Continue reading Ford Thunderbird.

VW ID.Golf.
VW‘s EV plans seem to be constantly in flux. And it has become quite hard to guess what’s coming up and when. However, it seems a new EV version of the VW Golf is indeed still on its way. There is still a rumor about the next-generation VW Golf being an EV, and only an… Continue reading VW ID.Golf.

2026 Toyota Corolla Cross.
Toyota just gave an update to the Corolla Cross for the 2026 model year. And the few changes seem to make a big difference. There are now two new front-end designs, for the regular model and the Hybrid version. Both are a huge improvement over the old, sad face with the huge grille. The new… Continue reading 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross.

Acura RDX video.
This is just a short video about the few days I spent with the Acura RDX. The trim I had was the A-Spec model, which was loaded. While it is pretty quick, I wouldn’t call the RDX sporty. It handles very nicely and feels upscale. But its steering feel is always a bit too light.… Continue reading Acura RDX video.

Volvo XC70 presentation.
Well, it looks like Volvo decided to introduce the new XC70 to the press the same day they released the first teasers for the new model. Weird… These new photos of the real thing show a very nice-looking new Volvo SUV indeed. As it is longer than the current XC-60, it does have a slightly… Continue reading Volvo XC70 presentation.

2026 Volvo XC70.
Volvo just released a couple of images of a brand new model called the XC-70. This new XC-70 seems to be the same car we saw a few months ago testing in China. It was then rumored to be called the XE-50, or XC-50. The images above show the new Volvo XC-70 and its close… Continue reading 2026 Volvo XC70.

2026 Hyundai Elexio.
The Elexio is a brand-new Hyundai EV for the Chinese market. This new model seems to be their first EV that isn’t part of the Ioniq series. So far, this new Hyundai will be exclusively built in China for Chinese consumers. However, that’s what they were saying last year about the Kia EV5. Which is… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Elexio.

2027/28 Infiniti Compact SUV.
While Nissan just canceled their future EV sedans, it seems Infiniti will get its own version of the next-generation Nissan Rogue. Infiniti was supposed to get one of the two EV sedan models to replace the old Q50 sedan that was discontinued last year. The Nissan version would have taken the place of the Maxima.… Continue reading 2027/28 Infiniti Compact SUV.

New Ford Bronco SUV.
These photos from China obviously show a new Bronco-labeled Ford SUV, but which one? At first, it would seem to be a next-generation Ford Bronco Sport. Except it does look quite larger than the current model. It also has an external spare wheel, something the recurrent model doesn’t have. As for being larger, it is… Continue reading New Ford Bronco SUV.

Chrysler Imperial Coupe.
Almost 20 years ago, in 2006, Chrysler came up with a weird-looking Imperial Concept. Trying very hard to re-imagine what a high-end luxury Chrysler sedan could look like. It was a heavy-handed, clumsy attempt that never went into production, thank God. And yet, not a bad idea. The idea of giving a boost to the… Continue reading Chrysler Imperial Coupe.

New Jeep Compass.
Jeep has finally officially unveiled the all-new generation Compass compact SUV. It is mostly a European product, based on the Stellantis STLA medium platform already used in Europe on models from Peugeot, Opel, and Citroen. The new Jeep Compass will first be built in Italy for the European market. Then, who knows where the North… Continue reading New Jeep Compass.

BMW i1.
The all-new BMW i3 EV sedan is right around the corner, with an iX3 EV SUV will be coming out soon as well. And we are already talking about what’s next. Which would be a new, smaller BMW EV sedan called the i2, as well as a new smaller hatchback called i1. These would probably… Continue reading BMW i1.
-
Chrysler Cordoba.
Every few weeks or months, we hear from Chrysler that the brand isn’t dead. New cars are coming. So far, the plan is for a new EV SUV related to the Jeep Wagoneer S sometime late this year or next year. Then, a heavy refresh of the Chrysler Pacifica, as well as an all-new EV… Continue reading Chrysler Cordoba.

Ford Fiesta EV.
Ford killed the Fiesta in 2023. (It was discontinued long before in North America.) And a new EV generation could be on its way, thanks to VW. Apparently, the VW-based Ford EVs have been quite successful in Europe, after a delayed and rough start. Sales of the European Explorer EV and new Capri EV have… Continue reading Ford Fiesta EV.

Lincoln Continental Sedan.
I posted an illustration of a possible future Lincoln Continental Mark IX Coupe a few days ago. The one above shows what a sedan version could look like. While Lincoln has probably no plans for anything but SUVs in the near future, a 4-door sedan would still have a better chance of making it than… Continue reading Lincoln Continental Sedan.

Ram Rampage for the US.
These new patent images are rumored to show Ram‘s upcoming “compact” pickup for the North American market. As you can see, they do match exactly the Ram Rampage that has been on sale in South America since June 2023. The Rampage is based on the same platform as the current Jeep Compass. It is one… Continue reading Ram Rampage for the US.

2026 Jeep Compass.
While I already posted a few (more colorful) photos of the all-new Jeep Compass, these seem to show a slightly different trim. The front end shows more black plastic trim under the grille. Which could mean a more off-road oriented version of the new small Jeep. It also seems to show the EV version. It… Continue reading 2026 Jeep Compass.

2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 pricing.
The all-new Hyundai Ioniq 9 EV SUV was unveiled at the Los Angeles auto show last November. It took a while, but we finally know how much it will cost. The base model will start at $58,900 before destination. The base RWD S trim is rated at a very impressive 335 miles of range. And… Continue reading 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 pricing.

Acura RDX review.
Since it came out back in 2018, I’ve driven the Acura RDX a few times. It is rumored to be canceled at the end of next year, and I thought it would be interesting to drive it one more time in 2025. I personally think the design has aged very well. However, I never got… Continue reading Acura RDX review.

2026/27 Kia Telluride.
Another day, another spy shot of the upcoming 2nd-generation Kia Telluride for 2026. (Probably 2027 in the US) Even though it is over 5 years old, last year was the Telluride’s best year ever, with over 115,500 of them sold. Sales have been increasing every single year since its introduction in 2019. That means Kia… Continue reading 2026/27 Kia Telluride.
