Los Angeles Auto Show video.
Today was the Auto Show press day in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, these things are never as fun or interesting as they were just a few years ago. The press event for the Auto Show is now reduced to just one day when it used to be 3. Far fewer new cars are unveiled. This year… Continue reading Los Angeles Auto Show video.

Chrysler EV sedan.
Chrysler is coming with their first EV next year. A nice new sedan wouldn’t be the worst thing, would it? However, we already know they are planning 3 new crossovers/SUVs for the next few years. And of course, an electric Minivan later, around 2029. What they need is something. Anything, and they needed it yesterday.… Continue reading Chrysler EV sedan.

Hyundai Ioniq 9.
We finally get to see the full production version of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 EV SUV. After seeing the concept 3 years ago, and tons of spy shots and illustrations here it is. And as predicted, it looks very close to the concept. Except for the wheel arches that are now more circular, the sculpted… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 9.

Jaguar EV sedan.
Next week Jaguar will not only unveil a new concept previewing a new sedan, but also a new brand. The whole Jaguar brand is getting a complete (crazy?) makeover. Including its logos. The top image is the first time we actually get to see a bit of that new sedan. It actually is a bit… Continue reading Jaguar EV sedan.

Toyota BZ7 EV sedan.
Toyota just unveiled this all-new BZ7 sedan in China, and it looks pretty fantastic. Of course, this is just a concept for now. But we’ve seen the BZ3 concept keeping the exact same design when it turned into an actual production car a few months later. The car we see where is probably about 99%… Continue reading Toyota BZ7 EV sedan.

2026 Toyota RAV-4.
Once in a while, it’s fun to see what the internet thinks of the next-generation Toyota RAV-4. As it will be new for the 2026 model year, but how new? Toyota could still pull a Camry and serve us the same design with a new front end and redesigned rear lights. With an updated interior.… Continue reading 2026 Toyota RAV-4.
-
Lexus ES.
While the current Lexus ES got a very mild mid-cycle refresh for the Chinese market, it seems the US model could see a few more changes. Not something like the illustration on top, which shows what an all-new next generation could look like. But at least something a bit “newer” than the Chinese facelift, which… Continue reading Lexus ES.

Chevrolet Trax test drive coming up.
I have been driving around in a new Chevrolet Trax for a few days. I will soon post a full review. This is one of the best deals in town these days. The version I had the pleasure to drive is a 2025 Chevrolet Trax Activ, which comes with a 1.2 Liter Turbo engine and… Continue reading Chevrolet Trax test drive coming up.

Cadillac Brougham.
The last time we saw a new Cadillac Brougham at a Cadillac dealer was in 1992. Maybe it is time to at least imagine what a new one could look like. By 1992, GM had used the name “Brougham” for almost 100 years, since it started in 1916. It was used again for a Cadillac… Continue reading Cadillac Brougham.

Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Land Cruiser Compact. FJ Cruiser. Compact Cruiser. Who knows what name Toyota will give to their new smaller off-road-oriented SUV? But it’s coming. Toyota showed a small compact SUV concept in 2022 called Toyota Compact Cruiser EV. While the concept was an EV, the production version could end up being powered by Toyota‘s new Hybrid… Continue reading Toyota FJ Cruiser.
-
Lexus LS.
The original Lexus LS was quite an event when it came out in 1989. Let’s take a look at what might be in the cards for the next generation. Ever since the 1st generation it seems the big Lexus LS has been mostly stuck on repeat. Which is basically the problem with many successful cars.… Continue reading Lexus LS.

Jaguar XJ EV.
Apparently, the top image is supposed to show one of the prototypes of the DOA Jaguar XJ EV. A car that was supposed to come out about 4 years ago. The photo looks a bit weird and underwhelming if real. It basically seems like Jaguar was still stuck in a pretty lame design phase. And… Continue reading Jaguar XJ EV.
-
Jaguar future models video.
Early next month we will finally see something real about the new EV future of the Jaguar brand. As the British brand will unveil a concept version of its new production car morning later in 2025 or early 2026. This will have been a long wait since there were already testing prototypes for a new… Continue reading Jaguar future models video.

Cadillac Large EV sedan.
Cadillac has been working on 2 new sedans based on the Ultium platform. The illustration above shows what the larger model could look like. All we know about these 2 new models is from a rumor from a few months ago. It basically only describes the 2 cars as fastback sedans. Which is what the… Continue reading Cadillac Large EV sedan.
-
Jaguar EV Sedan.
Finally! We finally get to see something, anything, about the upcoming all-new Jaguar EV sedan. The 2 spy shots above actually show a really weird-looking prototype if you ask me. However, the long hood and short rear end are a nice throwback to older Jaguar proportions, which would be great. The 3rd image is a… Continue reading Jaguar EV Sedan.

Acura ADX.
We have been waiting for years for a compact Acura SUV. And I must say, I am quite disappointed. We all knew the new small Acura would be based on the Honda HR-V and that’s actually OK. The HR-V is a fine compact SUV that drives and feels more upscale than it is. But I… Continue reading Acura ADX.

Acura ZDX A-Spec test drive Video.
I previously drove the top-of-the-line Acura ZDX Type S. This video is about the less expensive Acura ZDX A-Spec model. They are basically the same car and are still based on GM’s Ultium platform. Part sharing shows inside with similar switches, stalks, and the steering wheel. Otherwise, Acura did a good job differentiating the ZDX… Continue reading Acura ZDX A-Spec test drive Video.

Honda Civic.
There has been some speculation lately about the next-generation Honda Civic, since the current model came out in June 2021. It is still early to know anything, but a badly needed design improvement is probably in the cards. Many have noticed the Civic is only really new with every other generation. The 9th generation was… Continue reading Honda Civic.

2026 Honda Passport.
After all these years, we finally get to see an all-new Honda Passport, and it’s not a disappointment. I drove the current generation a couple of times and was always impressed. However, I was also disappointed by the super bland design and outdated interior. The new one seems to change everything for the better. First,… Continue reading 2026 Honda Passport.

2026 Honda Prelude.
The new Honda Prelude has been caught testing in Europe. Where it is scheduled to go on sale next year. As you can tell, it will look exactly like the “Concept” we saw last year. I saw the concept myself at the Los Angeles auto show and thought it looked quite nice. And was actually… Continue reading 2026 Honda Prelude.
